Spain and Austria gained materially. while
England, France and Germany lost. The
South African war not only stopped the
usual flow of gold to London, but compelled
England to send large amounts to the
Cape.
We are now prepared to estimate what
became OF the worlds product of say $3.50
10000. The consumption in arts ana manic
features for the world amounts to upwards
OF $eocOo,o0o annually, so that nearly $500
100000 were probably SO used: India always
draws more gold from Europe than she re-
turns besides keeping her own product:
this and the similar movement to other
countries in the Orient probably account
for Sl50Doo,0Oo: the United States. as we
have seen, took sS23.0o0,0G9 Creeping their

Col. A. T. Bliss, whom the Republi-
cans have nominated for Governor Of
Michigan, is an admirable nan in every
way, and his election will reflect credit
upon the State. He went out in 1861, in
the 4th N. Y. Cav, rose to be q Captain,
and was left on the field for dead at
Reams's Station, June, 1854. His name
is still carried on the Volunteer Register
as killed. BE was, however, carried of
to prison, where he recovered from his
wound. After the war he went to Sagi-
nav. Mich, and entered the lumber and
salt business, and was very successful.
He kept constantly in touch with his old
comrades, however, and was elected Com
mander OF the Department of Michigan

THERE is little. very little, clearing
up of the Chinese situation, but enough
to show that the outbreak has in all prob
ability reached high tide. and begun to re-
cede and be controlIable. 1t is reported
from Paris that an International agree
ment has been reached by which an In
ternational army will be stationed in the
country, in which the United States viii
be represented by 5000 men, Germany
by 5000, Great Britain by 10000, France
by 5000, Russia and Japan by 10000
each, and Italy, Austria, etc, by proper
tionate contingents. II this be true, the
United States force of 5000 win surpass
in effectiveness the Russian contingent of
double that strength. The main danger
will come through Russian Vaccinations.
The other powers win probably honestly
cooperate to restore the authority of the
Government and aid in maintaining order,
while Russia will follow her traditional
policy of fomenting trouble in order to
make pretext for increasing her strength
in the country and control over it.

Great waterfront Fire.

Great loss of life and property occurred
in tremendous fire that swept the Ho-
boken IN. j. waterfront Saturday after
noon last. The fire started among cotton
bales stored on Pier 8 of the North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship Company. The
steamship Main was burned at her dock
with great number of men aboard. The
Saale, beaehed on the Jersey flats, went
down the river all afire, with fireboats and
a fleet of tugs picking of her such men
as they could. and rescuing such as flung
themselves overheard to escape the flames.
In her hold were many corpses.
The Bremen, with Ia living men aboard,
penned on one side of her hold, FIRE aft
and forward. and FIVE above them and on
the other side, was beached off Weehaw-
ken at night Fifty tugs hung around he-,
striving to put out the fire and cool her
off with hundreds of tons of water. Soma
of the men in her were rescued. There
was q fierce fight to save the Kaiser VIII
helm, der Crosse which succeeded but the
other vessels, including the Phoenicia,
were wrecks. The fire destroyed all the
North German Lloyd piers, some dozen
of cotton and storage warehouses to the
north of the pier. great building full Of
valuable merchandise
Many men working in the holds of the
four steamships were shut in by walls Of
iaan,e and il was impossible to reach
them. 1t probably never will be known
how many men perished in the ships, as
the flames would leave but few II any
remnants of the human body.
'The losses sustained in the FIRE are con-
servatively placed at nearly 100000
the loss of life, while merely guesswork,
at even this late hour win probably reach
as high as 200. and there are over 300
men in the hospitals in New FORK, Hobo
ken and jersey City badly burned. Up
