LONDON, Dec. 14-There was quite an
exciting sitting of the house Of COM
mons to-day rising out Of the snnouce-
ment made by Mr.. Gladstone that
owing to the present state OF buOinesS
the government proposes to adjourn on
Friday, December %, and to meet again
on the following Wednesday.
Sir John Dorington, Conservative.
moved to adjourn the house in order to
call attention to the backward state Of
public business.
The opposition intended this motion
as an indictment of the alleged general
incapacity of tho government in con-
ducting business, and expressed the in-
tention OF pushing the motion TO .
division.
Sir Richard Paget, conservative, In
seconding Sir John Dorington's motion,
was loudly cheered, especially Ehen he
declared that the present condition OF
things in public affairs was becoming
positively intolerable.
These attacks finally brought Mr..
Gladstone to his feet and he replied
warmly to the onslaught Of the oppo-
sition and amid frequent Interruptions,
declared that the house must meet
again rs he had indicated, or the parish
councils bill must be abandoned.
The Right Hon. A. ]. Balfour, the
conservative leader, accused the govern
ment of tryingito trample upon the OPP
position, who, Mr.. Balfour added were
little below the government supportern
in NUMBER.
After heated debate, during which
Mr.. Gladstone was greeted with Rroana
from the opposition and with cheers
from his supporters, the closure was
moved and the motion to adjourn was
rejected by vote of 1855 to ll5.
The announcement of the result OF
the vote called forth loud cheers from
the government supporters.

MT. VERNON, IND, Dec. 14.-Three
distinct shocks OF earthquake we're felt
here to-day at 1850, 1902 and 1:lO,
Houses were given a good shaking, par
ticularly the county court house. The
shock came from the north, and seemed
to 20 to the southeast. The shelves in
number of stores were Jared down,
aud in many cases tho goods were
thrown to the floor. A number OF per-
sons, especially ignorant negroes, were
badly frightened. Many OF them
thought the world was coming to an
end. A slow, rumbling noise succeeded
each shock, each Of which lasted about
two minutes.

cAPRIvrs SPEECH

Made When He was Fresh From an Audi
ence with the EmpOror-The Currency
Question.
LONDON, Dec. 15.-The correspondent
of the Post at Berlin says: chancellor
Won Caprivi's speech in the reichstag
yesterday was made when he was fresh
from an audience with the emperor. He
was evidently in the highest spirits and
treated the reichstag to q speech Of
such point and nerve as has not been
heard by that body since Prince Bis
marck retired to private life.
In his reference to the currency ques-
ton the chancellor denied that the buy
ing power of gold had risen high
enough to iniure German husbandry.
Tho Prussian minister OF commerce, he
said, was to make inquiries on the sub
jact extending into the interior Of
Australia and Africa, and the result OF
these inquiries must be awaited. The
head OF the English government, Mr..
Gladstone, had most pointedly ex-
pressed his antagonism to hi-metalliSrn,
and therefore change in the attitude
of England could not be hoped for. II
he himself, continued the chancellor,
were fanatical bi-metallist he could
not under the present circumstances
move n single step in that direction.

BIG FIRE AT TROY.
A Blaze THAT tho FIromon Lost Control OF

A Blaze That tho FIremen Lost Control Of
Grcat Amount of Property Burned.
Troy, N. Y, Dec. 14.-A fire broke
out in the immense hardware estab-
lishment of j. II. Warren & Co. this
afternoon at o'clock and got beyond
the control of the firemen. Chief Byron
asked aid from the Albany department.
The fire started in the top story of tho
building, where large quantity OF
buildera' tar paper was stored. This
was great food for the flames and the
smoke was so dense that tho work OF
the tiremen was considerably impedcd.
The firemen could not hold their hose
to the best advantage because OF frozen
hands aud worn out energies, besides
the building was 80 high that any at
tempt to force n stream to the top floor
was futile. The fire gained the upper
hand, and at o'clock was still burning
tiercely and threatened to reach the
main building OF the ]. NJ. Warren
Company and the wholesale grocery
house OF Squires, Sherry d Galusha, ad-
joining. While the flremen were hard
at work, the entire department beng at
the scene, two other alarms were rung in.
1t was reported that the immense col
lar factory OF Earl & Wilson, several
blocks away, was on fire, and steamer
was dispatched there and the alarm
proved false. The other alarm was
caused by tho explosion OF lamp in
Jockeys millinery store, on King
street. The millinery store was de-
stroyed. Mrs. Tookey, in her endeavor
to remove some OF the stock, was over
come by smoke and rescued with diff
Guilty. In the meantime the fire in the
Warren building broke out with great
fury. It had reached the willow-ware
department and the passageway to the
main building was in blaze.
The fremen directed their efforts to
save adjoining property, and in this
way the flames had chance to increase
until great tongues OF fire leaped high
in the air and rushed out of every win
dow. The fremen and the great crowd
OF spectators were informed by the di-
rection of the firm that there were sew
eral hundred pounds OF blasting pow
der stored in the west end Of the fourth
floor OF the burning structure. and
there was mad rush from that vicinity.
No explosion had occurred up to
this writing, o'clock. The firemen
believe that they have gained the
mastery, although tho FIRE is still burn
ing fercely. @. W. Tillinghast, presi-
dent of the company, says that the
three buildings we're valued at S95, 900,
and the stock at S225,OOO. There is an
insurance of Sl65,O0O on tho stock and
$50, 900 on the buildings. The structure
that is almost totally destroyed was
valued at S25, 900, and the stock at $780,
OOO The total loss will be almost

New YoRk. Dec, 1.-THE opposition
to Tammauy hall cystallized at meet
ing in Cooper Union tonight, There
was scarcely standing room in the hall.
Thomas v. Van Buren,, granddaughter
of President Van Buren,, was chosen
chairman.
The resolutions adopted cited the
misgovernmento Of the city by the rulers
OF Tammany Hall, contrasted the rapid
and colossal accumulation of wealth
among its leaders with the present de-
preston in business and said it aroused
feelings OF suspicion and distrust which
enforces the propriety OF rigid investi-
CATION at the hands Of the next legisla-
ture. Further, that 1t was the fret
duty of honest citizens to relieve the
city from such rulers, regardless for the
time OF either state or national politics.
