 The Irish Question.
PREMIER MAKES SPEECH

London. Feb. 5.-Lord Salisbury. the Premier. unveiled a ife-sized marble statue of the late Queen Victoria at the Junior Constitutional Club tonight. Speaking at a dinner after the unveilins. the Premier referred to the recent Dutch note in a high tone, for him. of unusual fippancy. He said he was unable to tm- agine the object of the Dutch Govern ment, for whose friendly feelings he had the greatest admiration. but he could not see the precise object they hoped to gain by this curious step.
 Tt was clear that the Dutch. conttn- ued Lord Salisbury, had no authorisa- ton from our enemies on the continent, since, from the moment this action op the part of the Netherlands Government was announced. these enemies vied with each other in declaring the Dutch action to be undesired.
 His Majesty's Government certainly knew nothing of the genesis of this move ment."
 There is no longer any question of sentiment" continued Lord Salisbury. ''We have entered upon a matter of busi-

 sons Bruised.

Chicago. Feb. 5.-By an explosion of sewer gas in the basement of a two story frame building at 376 Twenty second Street this evening. a number of persons, the total said to be eleven, lost their lives and the building was blown into kindling wood.
 By s:45 p. m. five bodies had been re- moved from the ruins. They were all of one family. Not a member of the family escaped. The bodies recovered are those of Otto Trostie. proprietor of a meat market at s7s Twenty-second Street; Mrs. Otto Trostle; Otto Trostle, IT,. Min nie Trostle; Annie Trostle.
 Persons who claim to know assert that there were at least six more persons in Trostle's meat market when the explo- sion occurred.
 Two other explosions of gas followed so quickly that 1t was hard to distin- guished them. First to explode was a main at Twenty-second Street and Archer Avenue Then the manhole half a block south on Archer Avenue was thrown into the air by loud explosion.

Results of the Sounding of European
 Governments.
 New York, Feb. 5.-The Associated Press has been put in possession of the following dispatches which have never before been published and which are un- questionabIy authentic. They comprise the circular telegram of the Spanish Gov ernment to her representatives at several of the European courts and excerpts from the replies:
 The Minister of State.
 ''To his Majestys representatives abroad
 Circular telegram:
 Madrid, March 25. 1S9s-rhe Spanish representative in Washington has just re- ported that he Is informed by the United States Government that on Monday next the report of the American Commission on the Maine catastrophe will be brought before Congress without previously com municating the same to us or having the Spanish report communicated to them. . The Spanish Government deems 1t a duty to communicate these facts to that government and to request the friendly offices (to induce) the President of the United States to maintain within the Jurisdiction of the executive every thing bearing on the questions of dif- ferences with Spain in order to bring them to an honorable settlement. And so convinced is Spain that reason Is with her and that she is acting with prudence that If the above end is not attained she does not hesitate to ask the advice of the great powers and in the last term their arbitration for the settlement of difficulties now pending and of those which may in the near future disturb the peace which the Spanish nation wishes to preserve as far as compat ttble with her honor and the integrity of her territory.
 You will read this telegram to the Minister for Foreign Affairs of that country" 'Gullon. The Spanish Ambassadors replied As follows

Flames leaped and roared from the hole. They spread below the street and smaller Manholes were blown into the air.
 The flames from the first gas hole shot high in the air and reached. with the ald of the wind, the Trostle butcher shop. The building was a three-story frame structure and 1t had been weakened and nearly wrecked by the shock It Is sup posed that the occupants of the building were knocked unconscious or were too panic stricken to rush from the place.
 The flames caught the weather-worn timbers, and in an instant had enveloped the structure. With a roar the building collapsed. and the occupants without eX- ception were carried with 1t to the base ment,
 The adjoining building, a two-story structure 1ared up. the next building was wrapped in flames and then another structure caught fire. A fire wall of brick building at the corner of Archer Avenue and Twenty-second Street held the ire in that direction
 Window glass throughout the neighbor- bod was broken and bottles and glass ware in the dwellings and stores were thrown to the floor and broken.
 Many persons in buildings near the ex- pIosionH were knocked down. Scores Of roen and women, many of the carrying children, rushed to the streets. They were greeted by the glare of the fire from the manholes. Fearing further ex- nIosion the people rushed down the street many of the women screaming with fear.
 On several street cars near the place the windows were smashed and the pas seneers severely shaken up. When peo- pIe in the cars saw the flames gush from inc ground, all hands rushed fer the doors, A number of persons were bruised and knocked down in the excited exit One car filled with passengers was thrown from the tracks.

ARKANSAS BANK ROBBED
Burglars Got Away With
 Large Sum of Money.
sherif Powers Awakened by Explo- sion, But His Death Was the
 Only Reward for His
 Bravery.

Little Rock, Ark, Feb. 5.-The town of Clarksville, Johnson County. is great ly excited over a bold and successful bank robbery which occurred about o'clock this morning.
 Sheriff John H. Powers was shot and killed by the robbers while attempting to frustrate their designs. The exact amount secured by the robbers is not known. but it is supposed to be between GOO and 5000
 Sheriff Powers, who roomed in a build ing adjoining that of the Bank of Clarks- vile. was awakened shortly before o'clock by a terrific explosion in the bank. seizing pistol in each hand, he rushed to the bank The robbers. who numbered five or six, were evidently pre- pared for him, as they opened fire the moment he appeared.
 The brave officer was wounded at the first volley, but he stood his ground ana returned the fire, sending half dozen bullets at the robbers. The, wounded sheriff managed to get back to his room, where he died within twenty minutes. When hastily aroused citizens began ar irving at the scene, PoWerS was ueao anu the robbers had vanished.
 The interior of the bank presented . wrecked appearance, the men having used dynamite to break open the vault door. They had several men standing guard outside the bank. They were arm. ed with Winchesters and had apparently anticipated interference from the sherin as they must have known of his pres. ence nearby. A trail of blood leading from the bank Is construed to mean that Powers injured one or more of the rSb- bers. He was shot three times himself. and any one of the wounds would have proven fatal. ..-.,'
 Csoyerncr Davis tonight offerede a re- ward of 5000 for the arrest and convic- tion of the bank robbers and the Arkan- sas Bankers Association offered re- ward of $500. These offers will be supple mented by additional rewards by the people of Clarksville.
 A vigorous search is being made for the fugitives, but 1t is believed they have es- caped into the mountains.
 Sheriff Powers was one of the best known officers in Arkansas. He had been sheriff of Johns County for twelve years and would have been renominated with out opposition for another term in the Democratic primaries February 15. He had the reputation of being brave and fearless and had run down large num- Der of criminals.
 All towns between here and Fort Smith have been wired to he on the lookout for The robbers and no efforts will be spared 10 capture them, although bloody bat lie is expected should the fugitives be bvertaken. Clarksville Is fifty miles east pf Fort Smith, on the Little Rock and Fort Smith Railroad.
 It is thought the robbers escaped north Into the mountain fastnesses of Newton Bounty, where there are neither railroad nor telegraph facilities.

From the yards of the Plant System in West Mont gomery the tracks of the Plant Line run through the big cut that the Plant and M. and o. has opened into Tallapoosa Street. Down Tallapoosa Street the tracks run to the corner of North Court and Columbus and, by . slight defiection there. the tracks run up Columbus Street to the corner of North Perry. Turning north, the tracks run into the freight terminals of the Seaboard Air Line at the corner of Columbus and North Perry Streets. Some years ago, 1t will be re- membered, the Seaboald people pulled the deal through by which they got hold of the block of property fronting on North Perry and Columbus Streets, where the old Samuel c. Jones property was. and. running through the block to the tracks of the Central of Georgia Railroad. On this property the Seaboard Air Line has built a freight warehouse. and tracks from the terminal yard connect with the Belt Line tracks and run to the Seaboard yards in North Montgomery. Now. the Court Street front of the Plant System warehouse is just across the street from the Tallapoosa end of the property, bought by Capt. E. A, Graham, trustee. The seaboard property is just across Per- ry Street from the Columbus Street end of the Plant warehouse, and, being so close together, 1t would be a very simple matter to make one big piece of property out of the two blocks. Again, It would not require much to throw the Plant warehouse into the Tailapoosa end of the property described, thus making four solid city blocks connecting with each other. the two blocks. the Plant ware house block and the seaboard Air Line block.

ness which we will push through. What We are now seeking Ia security Any peace which recognizes fully the rights or the sovereign and gives us security TOT the EmpiIe, we should accept not only with willingness but wite delight
 Tt is useless to tell us to behave so as to leave a pleasant recollection in the minds of those with whom We are hght- Ing.
 .The only result that can compensate for the sac. ifice of blood and treasure is that. for the future, there shall be secur- ity in that part or the empire upon which the ambition of MT. Kruger has poured this abundance of sorrow and desola- tion.'
 Lord Salisbury said he had no miegiv- ings for the future and that he believed the war had made the country more con fident in It's external policy. more con vinced that its opinions would receive due consideration from the c.omity of nations.
 But when the present strain had pass ed away. continued the speaker. there would still remain duties which could not be shirked. The existence of hostile feeling in Ireland was a signal that the efforts upon which depended in no light degree the glory and continuance of the empire, must not be relaxed.
 'The maintenance of our position in Ireland is the most vital object the em- pire has and 1t can only be attained by strenuous exertions." said the premier.
 The premier asked if the Irish people loved the government better than they did formerly and replied himself that they did not. He said the feelings of hos tility which had been expressed were more uncompromising than any express sions which had ever issued from the lips of Parnell or O'Connell.
 An Irish Government with power to ac- cumulate arms and ammunition would constitute more serious threat than had the Boers. Whilst the orthodox leader of the Liberal party had declared himself in favor of home rule, said the speaker, the semi-orthodoX leader of that party, whose utterances were harder to interpret, while he had not pledged him self to home rule, had studlously avoided any pledge from which the contrary might be inferred. The premier con- cluded with saying that the conspicuous

 Continuing up Jefferson Street tine deal goes on the opposite side of North Court, the old Hogan House" property being the first bought in that block. Then the Bibb property adjoining was next bought, another lot of the Bibb property, 100 feet front by 100 feet deep, being sold a few days ago for s27,5Oo. This brings that block up to the Alabama or Lehman Durr warehouse on the corner of North Perry and Jefferson Streets. and the in- dications point pretty strongly to the fact that this will be purchased also. though the deal has not been completed. The property in this block of course runs through to Columbus Street, and, in the event that the Alabama Warehouse Is sold, and 1t is fact that the owners Of the above property have an option on that property. they will have the entire two blocks from the corner of Jefferson and Tallapoosa, the apex of the triangle

A transaction in realty that promises to shake the local railroad world from center to circumference has been con- sumated and unless there is very radical departure from the present program the railroad map of Montgomery will be changed SO materially as to be almost unrecognixable.
 For several months deal after deal in valuable property fronting on Tallapoosa and Jefferson Streets has been quietly closed. The property was bought in the name of Captein E. A. Graham, trustee, the real estate firm of H. c. Davidson & Co.,, making the sales. The object in buying all this property has been sealed book not only to the railroad world, but to the business men of Montgomery. The first deal was made last October and since then guesses and predictions as numerous-and as 1t has turned out as futile-as the sands of the sea have been made. Meaning of Deal
 The railroad editor of The Advertiser has been laboring quietly to try and get a faint gleam of light on the vexed sub feet, but was not satisfied as to correct ness of what was heard. This morning The Advertiser is enabled to state what seems to be reliable authority. what the big deals in real estate mean. It means that there is a combination of the Seaboard Air Line, the Mobile and Ohio and the Plant System to erect Union passenger station on the property. Whether the above roads object to pay ing rental to the Louisville and Nashville for the privelege of running their pas senger trains in the present shed at the Union station is a matter of conjecture. The reason of the roads for this con templated action is of course open to sur mise, but ss railroads are not usually in the habit of shouting their plans from the roofs of houses the matter is entirely problematical, and future events will
