Ed. JOURNAL: Recently [ en-
terei your beautiful city by the
bridge coming by stage across the
couutry from Mccoy. Excepting u
strip Of gravel just outside the city,
the road was in a bad shape-a dis
grace to the commissioners, We
left Mccoy with five passengers, in
two seats, with single team OF
horses, the driver making the sixth
person. The roads being SO heavy
it was all the horses could do to pull
up the steep hills, yet the sugges'
tiOn to the driver by the writer that
the three male passengers get out
and walk, was unheeded.
In my opinion one of three things
ought to be done, namely: Either
there should b. fewer passengers
carried, or more horses put on, or
the road be graveled the full length;
otherwise the Humane society
should investigate this matter.

FIRE IN THE POSTOFFTCE.
A Big Blaze In New Yorks General Ohice
Burns Hundreds of Bags of Mall.

New YORK, Feb 1.-THE general postoffice
Luilding caught fire at 1890 o'clock tonight
and hundreds Of bags of newspapers were
burnt and thousands of letters will be delayed
in reaching their destination. A few minutes
after 10 O'Clock every electric light in the build
ing was suddenly extingushed, leaving every
floor in darkness. Following this came the
smell of smoke. and the three hundred en-
ployes who were at work distributing the
mails stampeded out Of the building. Scarce
ly had the last reached the rear entrance
when puff of smoke came. up from the
engine-room and enyeloped the rear
minutes elapsed before the fire en-
pines arrived, the entire rear of the post
Office building on the basement and ground
floors seemed to be on fire. so quickly did 1t
spread.
LITTLE SEwsBoY BURNED.
The fremen pulled little newsboy, from
one Of the ventilors, who had evidently
crawled in there to get out Of the cold. lie
was terribly burned and was taken away in
an ambulance. The fire rapidly gained great
headway, and three alarms were sent out, call
ing n large force of engines to the spot. The
fire made its way 10 the distributing room,
where 100000 letters were being made
ready TO send out. The mail from the Euro
pean steamship Celtic had lust been brought
went out. Superintendent Alexander Han
was in charge OF the work, assisted by Charles
Hall. The Western mail had nearly all been
sent out before 3 o'clock.
ORIGIN OF THE FIRE.
The fire was confined 70 the rear and lower
portions of the building. and Superintendent
Hall. with the aid of his staff Of clerks. sue
ceeded in removing the bulk of the mail TO
another portion of the building. away from
fire. How the fire originated no one seems to
know. but the general impression IS that
il originated from defect in the electric
lighting apparatus. Most of the damage TO
the mails was by the water, and the supenn-
tendent said it would take some time before II
would be properly dried out for mailing. The
mail matter which suffered most was news
papers. Fireman Maurice Stack. Of Engine
No. "a, was overcome by smoke. He
was taken out by two comrades
and. upon reaching the fresh air, re-
covered. There were two newsboys taken
out of the ventilatOrs on Mail street,
where they had crawed to sleep. Their
were names Gissippi Michol. thirteen years old.
and John Gerversoon, aged seventeen. The
former was badly burned and cannot live:
The loss 10 the machiney. building and mail
matter will not exceed s25,00O. Superintend-
ent Hall says the work will go on as usual to-
morrow.

COUNT wALprRsgE's EirlBEMESr.

In view Of the emanyreportsa about Count Wal
dersee's retirement, an official OF thesGerman
court has condscended 10 make an III
formal statement that may be accepted as
coming from the Emperor. This Is SUD-
stantially that there is no personal difference
between the Emperor and the Count but
that there was divergence of opinion on
matter Of the gravest public policy; The
Count, IL is explained. held that Shornhorst's
idea Of military reform ought 10 be carried ont
TO their last cons equences. This would entail an
enormous increase in the numerical strength
of the German army. and consequently Of the
burdens imposed on the nation for Its
maintenance. In this view the Emperor
does not agree Though His Majesty
is commander-in-chief. he does not
forget he is at the same time the leader
of the German policy, and although Schorn-
horst's ideas are popular in German military
circles, the Emperor does not care to add to
the already tremendous military expendi-
lures.
REGARDED AZ A REBUFF.
Chancellor Caprivi entirely agrees with the
Emperor in this policy and when Count Wal
dersee recently made remark in the kaisers
hearing in favor of the Schornhorts scheme,
which would make the the whole ole. nation
claimed. ''Ii il impossible. 1t would
add more than 500. 900. 900 marks TO the bur
dens of the nation. and that is quite impos-
sible." Chancellor Won Capr'vi heartily ap-
proved of this utterance, which Waldersee re-
garded as a rebuff Since then the relations
Of the Kaiser and the late Chief OF staff have
been formal.
An attempt 10 burn the Admiralty
buildings in ST. Petersburg has just been
defeated. The buildings adjoin the
Cars winter palace. and 1t is supposed that
the deed was the work of nihilists intent
upon the destruction OF the latter's statue.
| The police claim. in fact, to have evidence
connecting Nihilists with the incendary at
| tempt.
GERNASYs INDUSTRIAL SITUATION.
The industrial situation in Germrny contin-
ties TO be deplorable. The fact that while
thousands. and tens of thousands OF working
men are out of employment. goods are daily
turned out Of prison workshops and put upon
the market in competition with outside
manufacturers is attracting attention or the
working classes. and thousands Of signatures
have been obtained in Berlin and Halle to an
appeal that convict labor be no longer al
| lowed 10 displace that of the deserving poor.

plans of the Austrian fortress of Prezenyl, has
