were started by an explOslOh anu, |
catching 400 hogsheads of rum,
burst through the matches. The
City of Alexandria was an iron screw
steamer of 24S0 tons, being one of
the fastest and largest of the Ameri-
can ships in the West India trade.

Sons at Chester, Pa, in 1879.
THE MATABELE WAR.
Dispatches from Cape Town an
nounce that there have been daily
skirmishes between the colonists
and the Matabeles, aud that the
total losses were no less than 5000
wounded and killed. Additional
dispatches say it is probable that
there will be another desperate fight
near Buluwayo, to which King Lo
Bengula is said to be returning with
all the Matabeles who remain faith
full to him.
1t is believed Labouchere will
bring the war before Parliament, as
there is a feeling of disgust in Eng
land over the frightful slaughter of
an army of brave men defending their
own territory. The matter may
cause the upset of the Ministry.
PASSENGER RATE WAR.
Owing to the attitude assumed by
the Union Pacific, a passenger rate
war in the West cannot be STAYED
off much longer. The fact that the
Union Pacific is in the hands of re-
ceivers makes it bold to assume an
aggressive position toward it's com
petitors. 1t has come to the conclu-
sion that rates must be brought
down to a figure below which the
Canadian Pacific cannot go, to force
that line to accept the same rates as
are made by competing lines. All
western roads are greatly alarmed
over the situation, feeling that a
great loss of revenue will be the
consequence of the attitute of the
Union Pacific.
