FOREIG N.

Rome, Nov. "A fire broke out at
8: 80 last evening in that portion of
the Vatican containing the Hall of
Inscriptions, where the Pope gives his
audiences and which is adjacent to
the famous Pinacotoca, or gallery Of
pictures. The alarm caused much
confusion and excitement in the Vati-
can. Strenuous efforts were made to
control the flames and the firemen of
Rome were called to lend their help.
At II 10 the fire was under control.
No lives were lost, No idea of the
damage can yet be obtained. The
Pope came to the scene in person and
remained until arrangements to fight
the fire were completed. The fire
caused greater sensation in Rome
than has any other event since the
are exceptional because of the heavy
stone and brick construction of the
buildings
London. Nov. 3. Scientists attri-
butte the recent magnetic disturbance
here to sun spots. The worst effects
OF the phenomena appear to have been
experienced in France, but Berlin was
not affected and apparently neither
Austria, Italy nor Denmark suffered.
In Switzerland, however, there &C.
Cured most strange phenomenon.
The telephone service ceased suddenly
and remained suspended for half an
hour, while the telegraphs were rem
dered unintelligible and useless. In
Geneva all the electrical street cars
were brought to sudden standstill,
and the unexpected cessation of the
electric current caused CONSERVATION
at the generating works where all
efforts to discover the cause were
fruitless. A magnetic storm is re-
ported in parts OF Ireland and Scotland
with extraordinary telegraphic dis
turbance. A slight seismic shock CO.
Cured in Siberia.

AND NOW THE PRESIDENT.

Writing in the Outlook, in a chap
ter supplementary TO his story of the
navy in the war with Spain, John d.
Long, ex secretary of the navy. makes
this comment on the assistant secre-
tary of the navy, Theodore Roosevelt.
when the war was impending:
His ardoI sometimes went faster
than the President or the department
approved. Just before the war he, as
we'll as some naval officers, was anxious
to send squadron across the ocean to
sink the ships and torpedo boat destroy
ers of the Spanish fleet while we were
yet at peace with Spain.
This arraignment of his assistant is
worked in insidiously with pleasant
references to Mr.. Roosevelt, after the
manner of the eX-secretary in dealing
with men whom he could not bend or
cajole to assist him in his scheme of
rewards and punishments. Those
milk-and-w water patriots, like the Re-
cord of Philadelphia and the Herald
of Boston, quick defenders of any act
or policy or man that was opposed, in
the cant phrase of the times, to imper-
ialism, find in Mr.. Longs revelation"
cause for thankfulness Sin the interest
of national honor, that Mr.. Roosevelt
was not President in 1898, and appre-
hension of what he might do if he
shodld remain President through an
other term. He is the most risky man
the United States have had in the
presidency"
In respect OF the foregoing extract
from the closing chapter of Mr.. Long
history, some had thought that the ex-
secretary had intended to say merely
that Mr.. Roosevelt twas anxious,
while we were yet at peace with Spain,
to send squadron" etc., but in an in.
terview with Boston Herald reporter
Mr.. Long said in effect, that although
war had not been declared, leading
naval officers thought this government
ought, In self-defense, to meet and dis
pose Of the Spanish feet with iii

ANOTHER TRIAL.
Railroad Case in Which Vermont Man
Figures.

Springfield. Nov. 2.-The plaintiffs
exceptions have been sustained by the
Supreme Court in the case of William
H. Daniel of Fairlee, vt, against the
B. 81 NJ railroad and there will be a
third trial of the action which was
brought to recover $500.
The plaintiff alleged that in con-
sideration of his relinquishing claims
for personal injuries the railroad
agreed to furnish him with employ
ment, but did not keep its agreement
and discharged him without adequate
cause.
The company claimed that the dis
charge was for negligence and absence
from duty. At the last trial the jury
reported disagreement and the court
ordered verdict for the defendant.

ELECTION RESULTS.


The expected happened in Greater
New York Fusion was put down
and Tammany was put up again. Nc
Clellan is elected mayor by plu-
rality whose size must be taken as
indicating that the people of New
York city really preferred him to
Seth Low The result is susceptible
of no other explanation. Colonizing,
or other schemes for making voters,
do not fully account for the Tammany
plurality.
Good government for New York is
a tough proposition. Goodness there
can be only relative There is a wide
difference between Tammanys stand
ard and the standard of the God fear
ing, order-loving class in general,
which made up the ranks of the
Fusion party. Tammany is agreed as
to the components Of its STANDARD 1t
is pretty solid unit Fusion, as APP
piled to the elements opposed to Tam
many, is an ironical term. Fusion
there has been the union of oil and
water-to a marked extent. Govern
ment with man of Seth Low s
stamp is rather moie a matter Of
theory than of practice and so it has
BEEN with the fusion leaders as a gen.
eral thing.
Six years ago, when Gen, B. f.
Tracy was the Republican candidate
FOR the first mayor of Greater New
York. the erratic elements of reform
gathered around Mr.. Low and contrib
tied to the defeat of Gen. Tracy a
better man than reform had ever be-
fore found for its leader, or is likely
to have again, in this day and gen
GRAFTON. With Gen. Tracy, who had
eXemplified his capacity for admins
tration in various high stations, and
particularly as secretary of the navy
i'll President Arthur cabinet, govern
ment was practical matter and sue
cess invariably crowned his admins
tration of atfai however large, COM
plicated or difficult. And Gen. Tracy
was man of sternest integrity and
purest character. But he was not good
enough, or ideal" or esthetical, &C
cording to the notions of the Goo
Coos, and their allied associations
threw him down. These are matters
of somewhat ancient history but they
are instructive and they shed light
on what happened in New York city
yesterday. After another term OF

Elsewhere in the limited field OF

Paine's CeIery
Compound
Cures
Cures
DYSPEPSIA, INDIGESTION,
AND STOMACH TROUBLES.

The tortures and evils Of dyspepsia and
Indigestion are experienced by thousands at
this time. The dyspeptc's train of evils
may be enumerated as follows: feelings of
dizziness, languor, nervousness, sleeplessness,
headache, distension of the stomach, loss of
flesh, difficult breathing, and the action of the
heart is seriously affected.
All forms of dyspepsia are quickly banished
by the use of Paine's Celery Compound.
The use of this marvellous medicine allays the
inflammation of the nerves centred about the
stomach; it opens up the sewers of the body
and removes all waste matter; it cleanses the
blood; it makes new nerve fibre; it restores
digestive power, and promotes bodily strength
and activity. Mr.. Fred. Ross, Clarendon,
Iowa, briefly writes about his happy expert
ence with Paine's Celery Compound as
follows:--
at gives me great pleasure TO testify TO the
merits of Paine's Celery Compound I can
candidly and honestly say it is the best medi-
cine in the world. Two years ago was suf-
fering from indigestion and nervousness, and
