Calls Upon King Humbert.
ROME. Oct. 13.-De Giers, the Russian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, who, with
his family, is travelling in this country,
arrived at Milan this morning. The
Italian Premier and Minister of Agricult-
ure called upon De Giers and had a con-
ference with him. De Giers and Marquis
di Rudini will travel together to Monsea,
where King Humbert is sojourning. It
is understood there is no special motive
for the visit other than that attributed to
the Cars desire to show that he is de-
termined to maintain the peace of Eu-
rope if it is possible to do so. The italian
statesmen are highly pleased with the
attitude the Gar has assumed in this
matter, as they consider it certain to
strengthen the peace policy of the ma
tions united under the agreement known
as the Dreibund.
NJ. De Giers' expected audience with
King Humbert was given to-day at the
royal villa at Monha. The interview
lasted half an hour. Marquis di Rudini
was present. The Italian press hail the
meeting of King Humbert and the Rus
sian statesman as guarantee that there
is no danger of conflict between the
Dreibund and Russia and France.

LONDON, Oct 13.-A great storm to-day
flooded the lowlands of Northern Wales,
causing great damage. The wind was
particularly savage at Tamworth. 1t
overturned a number Of tents on the
track at Fazeley, and severely injured
many persons. The damage at watering
places along the eastern coast of the
English channel will be enormous. A
Norwegian bark went ashore off Garset-
shire, and much difficulty was expert
enced in rescuing her crew. A French
brig was stranded near Falmouth, where
the force of the wind shattered her. No
details We're learned. A Norwegian YES
sci, coal laden, was totally wrecked off
Kearley, Ireland. Several collisions oc-
CURED in the Thames, and many vessels
were driven ashore.
At Birr, Ireland, the gale demolished a
circus tent, which was crowded with
children, and many were injured in the
wild panic which ensued.
The area of the storm extends over the
whole of England, Ireland and southern
portions of Scotland. A large number of
coasters have been lost. The valleys of
Severn and Dee are flooded. Brighton
Pier and ESplanade were swept by tre-
mendous seas. a huge structure which
was being prepared for Buffalo BilPs
Wild West show was utterly destroyed.
At Swansea a number of buildings were
unrooled, and at York the roof of circus
was blown off and killed boy in the
street.
At Dublin the magnificent mourning
draperies displayed on the occasion of
ParnelPs funeral have been entirely
blown away, and the same is true Of the
floral decorations adorning the grave at
Glasnevin.
At Cardiff and vicinity eleven coasting
vessels have been driven ashore, but the
crews were fortunately saved. The White
Star lines Majestic was unable to debark
her mails and Irish-bound passengers,
because of the tremendous sea, and was
compelled to proceed to Liverpool direct.

Prominent railroad men say that work
on the line will be resumed this winter.
The first work will be done in the tun-
nels, Of which there will be three long
and very expensive ones. The one hun
dred miles of track will cost altogether
over 100000. The railroad people are
encouraged by the great amount Of traffic
done over the coast division from Elwood
south, and also from Santa Marguerite
north to this city. The volume of this
traffic exceeds all expectations. tits now
believed that when the line is opened

doubled, and the company does not in
tend to lose any time in finishing the
line.

fer the Grand Order of the Cross of Christ
upon the Archbishop of AK, as a token of
the sympathy of His Holiness with the
Archbishop in the latter'S recent trial,
conviction and fine for writing a
letter clasSed as insulting to M. FallIers,
the French minister OF public worship.
Should the DiritiO'S information prove cor

fianCe to the French government and that
a serious outcome may be anticipated in
the near future.
PARIS. Dec. 26.-The news has been tel
graphed from Rome to this city that the
Pope intends to confer the Grand Cross of
the Order of Christ upon the Archbishop
OF AK. In the present state OF public
feeling, when movement is on foot to
separate church and state, as one
OF the results of the Archbishop of
AXIS conduct supported by the
letters ard sayings of other disting-
uiShed prelateS, such a step upon the part
of tho Vatican is significant. 1t will be
looked upon here, should the news prove
correct, rs defiance upon the part OF the
Pope of the government of this country,
and the reply of the French government
may not be slow in forthcoming.

of Bordeaux defends the right of members

did, was net prompted by wish to fight,
but was simply overcome by disgust.

PONTIAC, Mich, Dec 26.-Fire was dis
covered in the north wing of the East
ern Michigan insane asylum, at IL
O'Clock this morning. The flames
spread with fearful rapidity and with
the limited facilities at hand the fire
men were powerless. Fifteen minutes
after the first alarm was sounded the
occupants of the wing, 500
women, were turned loose. Scream
ing frantically with terror the
maniacs surged through the corridors,
which were already filled with smoke.
Tongues of flames were flying through
it and the sight filled the demented
creatures with terror. Some ran like
wild animals, tramplirg their slower
companions in their mad effort to
escape. Others were paralyzed with
fright and stood rooted to the spot with
eyes staring tixedly into the fire. The
attendants performed deeds of heroism
in the endeavor to rescue the helpless.
Rushing hither and thither, drag
ging the hesitating ones from
their rooms, they drove the insane
women into the open air. When some
were once upon the outside they would
break away and rush for the building
again. A strenuous effort was made to
convey the patients to the cottages for
safe keeping. 1t was utterly impos-
sible. Some few of them were induced
to retire to the shelter, but the great
majority of the 500 demented women
huddled together in the cold, piercing
wind and gazed with terror upon the
fire. They we're finally housed in
neighboring asylum cottages, and in
houses in the city. Only one person, a
patient. is missing. The loss aggregates
