ALI Of Lower Seattle Threatened With
Destruction by Fire.
CARTRIDGES EXPLODED By THE HEAT.
One Fire Laddie Received Bullet in the Head
and The ShOck Knocked Another From
the Second Story.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

SEATTLE. Wash. June 27-Early this
evening fire broke out in the wholesale
grocery and hardware store of Schwabacher
Bros, in the lower part of town, and the
flames spread with alarming rapidty.
Within few moments the whole building
was burning iercey, and for a time
the conflagration threatened to spread
over the entire surrounding neighbor-
hood. The Hotel Northern, valued at
100000, was soon on fire also, and
every moment the flames threatened the
new bank building OF Dexter Horton. in
process of erection, and the three brick
blocks surrounding the building that first
caught.
The Schwabacher Bros & Co. were the
largest general merchandise dealers on
Puget Sound and suffered great loss in the
big fire of 1889. The loss to the building by
this blaze is $4,000. The firm carried a
stock worth S320,00C, Of which nothing was
saved. The Northern Hotel barely escaped
destruction and is damaged to the extent Of
several thousand dollars by heat and water.
This, with other minor damages to the
structures and stocks, will bring the loss up
TO fully 100000. At 6 o'clock the base
ment, in which were stored several hundred
cases Of oil, was discovered to be oD fire.
The department succeeded in cOnfning
the fire TO the basement for an hour, but it
finally communicated TO stack of wrap
ping paper ana the flames burst through
the roof and gutted the structure with great
rapidity. Sixteen streams Of water, includ-
ing seven from the freboat played on the
fire for three hours, and contrary to all ex-
pectation, succeeded in confniDg the cOnfla-
grafton so closely that even the corner of
the new National Bank of Commerce, which
is embraced by the two wings Of the Schwa-
bachers' structure, suffered but nominal
damage Only the phenomenal work of the
department prevented the loss of the entire
block. which contains some fine buildings.
During the fire a quantity of cartridges
exploded. and were sent flying in all direc-
tIons. One bullet lodged in the side Of
Fireman Chris Miller's head, and the shock
threw Fireman Berry Wall from the ladder
upon which he had climbed to the second
story. Two other fremen IN the basement
were stunned by the report and almost
suffocated, being rescued only with the
greatest difficulty.
Insurance will probably cover the total
loss, and is placed with Balfour, Guthrie 81

VIENNA, June 27.-Iu the interview in the
Neue Frel Press, which has excited so much
attention throughout EuroUe, Bismarck,
after disavowing any hostility toward Aus
tria. said:
MY policy has been entirely changed
because Germany mas no longer any in

can no longer make our voice

"Surp -ised at the doubt, replied, I am
quite certain to remain Minister as long as
live
Il believe the Gar knew the fate in store
for me. My successor has no personal
authority and no confidence This impor-
tsDt factor, which Influenced Russia and is
now lost, has changed the political situa-
fioD. Europe has changed most decidedly
for the worse I regard 1t as the highest
political aim that peace should be main
tanned. Where shall We get TO If we wage
successful war and then have our neighboTs
continually dreaming of revenge?
There is 40 chance Of me returning to
power. The mistake in Germany's present
policy is that the wire which connected us
with Russia is broken. Once on the wrong

COURT GOSSIP.
The Engagement Of the Princess Margaret
TO Prince Frederick.

NEW YORK, June 27.-Edmund Yates
London special to the Tribune SAYS: The
engagement of the Princess Margaret of
Prussia to Prince Frederick Of Hssse, has
caused much surprise at court. She had
been expected to make very briliaut match,
and the Duke Of York. the CzarOwitz and
Prince Christian of D Denmark had each been
mentioned as likely to be her husband. The
Princess Margaret is clever, very sweet
tempered girl, and was the faYOrite child OF
her father and his constant companion.
Since his death she has become the constant
companion Of her mother, having never
been absent from her for a single day. The
Princess Margaret is thoroughly English in
al her tastes and habits, and she speaks the
language without a trace Of the German
accent, writes in it perfectly, and is a great
reader Of English books. She has always
been in the habit Of going with the Empress
Frederick to the Anglican church both in
Berlin and Homburg. The Princess, with
out being beautiful, Is decidedly pretty,
and she has a bright, attractive face and is
altogether charming. The Empress Fred
eriek is, Of course, much gTatided that her
fav0rite daughter sho uld be settled for life
in the immediate vicinity Of her own resi-
dsnce, and Emperor William IS also pleased
that the Princess Margaret should remain
permanently in Germany
The story Of the German EmperoT's pro
jeeted visit TO the Chicago exhibition has 10
Foundation in fact.
The Queen OF Hanover evidently does not
share tie enthusiasm for Bismarck shown
at Munich, for she has cut short her visit
rather than run any chance Of meeting tile
ex-ChancellOr. Perhaps the most notable
sDd significant feature of the Bismarck fes-
tiVities at Vienna was the official c0un-
tenance they received from NJ. ShouVal0tf,
the Russian Embassad0r to Berlin, who at
tended the wedding by the direct sanction OF
the Gar. 1t is true that the Count is
great personal friend both of the eX-Chan-
ceIIor and Of his SOB. but the motives which
urged the Russian Embassa1Or TO do what
no other member of the official world had
the courage TO do were as much political as
personal The fact is that the Car himself
was a real admirer Of and believer in the
elder Bismarck, knowing him to be
staDch advocate of a Russ0-German en-
tente, based on the allowance Of free-hand
policy for Russia in the East, and the Chan
cellor's dismissal from Office mortified bis
Russian Majesty more perhaps than it did
any one else outside the immediate circle Of
BismaFck's personal friends.

PACIFIC COAST INTERESTS.
The New POStOffcG Building and Its
Site.

WASHINGTON. June 27.-Supervsing Ar
chitect of Treasury Edbrook is now at work
on the estimate of the cost of the proposed
Postoffice building at San Francisco. The
California delegation, of course, do not hope
to get it in time for action by Congress at
this session, but they want TO have it ready
so bill can be introduced early next win
ter. THE CALL correspondent talked with
Assistant Secretary Crounse to-day con-
cerning the selection of the Seventh and
Mission streets site. Mr.. Crounse said he
was somewhat surprised at this action, but
supposed. of course, his superiOrs had good
reason for their selection. He understood
that their action was unanimous. after
going to all that expense in sending special
agents out there to investigate the matter
the data secured by them was not used" said
Mr. Crounse.
This was rather surprising statement
for the Assistant Secretary to make, and
hardly agrees with that of Senator FELTON,,
who told The CALL correspondent to-day
that TO his knowledge all of the reports
were laid before the commission. He was
even able to give the substance of some of
these reports. The agents were unable to
find any evidence Of fraud or cOllusion, and
without presuming to make any recon-.
mendations said that it was as big piece
OF ground as could be purchased In San
Francisco in good location for that amount
of money.
Assistant Secretary Crounse says he
thought these reports would not be made
public though there seems to be no good
reason why they should not be.
The Attorney General is now awaiting
the report of the formal REIMBURSEMENT of
Jessie street by the Board of Supervisors.
When this is received the money will be
paid over TO Mr.. Harvey.

EXPRESSED deep regret at the occurrence and
cabled 10 Washington asking for the recall

parently lost his head and has given several
contradictory versions Of the affair to the

The State Department officials do not be-
lieVe that Captain Borup is guilty Of the
