In , f eW moments the flames mounted up through the structure, finding ready food in the light stuff stored therein. Before the firemen arrived the whole place was a raging furnace. The flames were shooting up to ward the sky. Three alarms were soon sent out, and special engine companies were sum moned from neighboring districts. The warehouse formed an “L” with the Casino building, and it was feared that that beauti ful temple of light opera would be in ashes, but it was saved by the work of the firemen. A HOTEL CATCHES. The Hotel Normandie is quite near, and soon the sparks descending on this building it on fire and the guests were hurriedly summoned to leave. Porters rushed through the halls and knocked at every door. The guests were told that there was no imme diate danger. They asked if they would have time to pack their valuables, and being answered in the affirmative, soon packed their trunks and carried them down stairs. The fire on the roof of the hotel was soon extinguished, however, and the guests being reassured went back to their rooms. blown out of the windows. Soon after the firemen had got to work at the storage warehouse building a terrific explosion occurred, and seven firemen who were at work on the first floor were blown through the windows to the street. All of tnem were very severely burned about the hands and feet! and an ambulance call was immediately sent out. When the ambulance arrived most of the injured firemen were un conscious, and by that time five of them had been conveyed in patrol wagons to a hos pital. They were Capt. Vitler, of Engine >'o, 26, and four of his men. The other two were John Conroy and John Douglass, of Engine Company No. 1. They were taken to a hospital in an ambulance. the firm. Tlie business was conducted by Solon Ridabocker, and the buildings and land are the property of the Gollet estate. The fire was discovered by the watchman, Angus Mc- D raid, who was in the building at the time and at once sounded an alarm. The damage, as far as could be estimated, was 5560,000. although it ma y be much more. The warehouse was used by New Yorkers who are out of town and contained furni ture, paintings and valuable bric-a-brac of all kinds. DETAILS OF THE INJURIES. The names of the firemen injured during the fire are: Foreman Peter Vedder, head, face and hands severely burned. Edward Curley, head and face burnt; taken home. John Conway, face and hands burned.

Atlanta, Ga., July 16.—The Governors of New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, Connecticut and Pennsylvania have called a conference at the Murray Hill Hotel, New York, next month of representatWes of all States and Territories, to formulate a uni form practice and regulation as to inter state extradition of criminals. A circular issued by the Governors of t.he States men tioned, urges this as necessary from the increase of commercial interests and the new crimes made by statutory enactments, as well as constant increase of criminals. Gov. Gordon favors the conference and has appointed Judge T. J. Simmons, of Macon, to represent this State. ToYlay the Governor’s Horse Guard, Capt. Milledge commanding, went to Salt Springs for a week’s encampment. The company was mounted and rode through the country to the camp.

SAVANNAH, GA., SUNDAY, JULY 17, 1887. GERMANY’S TWO ENEMIES COUNT VON MUNSTER CALLING A HALT IN FRANCE. Minister Flourens Told That the Demonstrations Against the Teutonic Residents Must Cease—The Windows of Several Consulates Smashed— Russian Securities Still Falling at Berlin. [Copyright 1887 hy New York Associated Press.] Berlin, July 16. —The tension of feeling toward France has relaxed since the French fete day has passed without the occurrence of any anti-German demonstrations. The accounts in the German papers of the inci dent in Paris Thursday represent that the repression of the popular outburst was solely accomplished by the presence of such masses of troops all along the route travelled by President Grevy and his Ministers on their way to the review at Long Champs as had never been seen in Paris since the days of the empire, and the papers seek to prove that the populace were in reality uuable to make a demonstration, and that extraordinary precautions taken by the government, although success ful in paralyzing the Chauvinists, had given a factitious aspect to the calmness which characterized the day. The German Em bassy in Paris was especially guarded. There was no appearance of troops in front of the building, but a body of cavalry' was kept on the alert and moving in the vicinity from early morn till midnight. MUST BE KEPT UP. The return to the German, people of a calmer mood toward France can be assured, however, only by a cessation of the system atic persecution of German residents in French towns, yet the tendency seems all the other way. The Chauvinist press con tinues to publish the names and addresses of Germans who have places of business in France, and warns members of the Pa triotic League not to have any dealings with them. The Deutschenhetze says that minor German employes are being hunted out of their places at the rate of hundreds weekly, and it is estimated that Germans hold ing situations in France, who last year numbered 82,009 have been decreased one half within the past six months. Count Von Munster, the German Ambassador at Paris, is having a constant stream of appeals for help against outrages which are being per petrated upon Germans. MOSTLY WORKMEN. The sufferers in the main are workmen who find employment in the manufacturing centres of France. Those appeals were made the subject of an oral diplomatic rep resentation, to M. Flourens, Foreign Minis ter, by' Count Von Munster on Wednesday last. The Comit has followed his oral rep resentation with a written re monstrance, to which the Fronch Minister, M. Flourens, will have to make a written reply. Count Von Munster has also called the attention of Minister Flourens to the practice of the press in denouncing by name citizens of Germany who are not in public but residing privately in France, and against whom mobs are invited to make at tacks. THE BOULANGER ORGAN. M. Flourens is also asked if his French government is powerless to deal with the or gan of the Boulangists, Le Defense Nation ale, which declared that the German functionaries in Franco were all spies; that the Central nest of the reptiles was the German embas sy, and that Count Von Munster himself was the director of the spy administration. M. Flourens has made a verbal promise to interfere and to use every power of the gov ernment to prevent nssaults on Germans in the future. Since Count Von Munster made tlie remonstrances against the ill-treatment of his countrymen the German consulates at Bordeaux and Rouen report street at tacks upon Germans in those cities, and the Bordeaux Consul complains that the win dows of his residence have been smashed. The Kreuz Zeitung, the Tageblatt, the North German Gazette, and the Cologne Gazette, papers of every' party, concur in the opinion that it is absolutely necessary for the French government to interpose res olutely to stop German “baiting.” RUSSIA’S SECURITIES. The chief topic of interest in Berlin, after the French situation, is the unceasing de pression of Russian stocks. The fact is now recognized by both political and financial circlas that the movement is not led by speculators, but has definite official inspira tion, ami is part of the government cam paign 'of retaliation against Russia for the anti-German economic policy. Dur ing the last fortnight the fall in Russian securities of all issues averaged fully 6 per cent. RUSSIA TO THE RESCUE. The fall would have been even greater blit for receipts of some “stop” orders and orders to buy. These combined for a time to stay the decline. Since Monday large purchases have been made daily by tne Russian government. These purchases, however, have proved insufficient to check the sales, and even to-day, when the Bourse was at its dullest investors combined to unload their Russian holdings in large quantities, causing a still further decline in prices. The champions of Russian securities acknowledge themselves beaton, and accept tlie situation with the !\st grace possible. The dealers are convinced that the sail's of these Russian securities will not cease until they fall U>neatli even their pres ent nominal value, when Loudon and Baris will show readiness to absorb them. RUSBIA WON’T ACCEPT HIM. Alleged Illegality of the Present So branje the Reason Given. Constantinople, July 16.—Russia has replied to a circular note in relation to the Bulgarian question, issued by the Porte. The reply states that while there is person ally no objection against Prince Ferdinand as ruler of Bulgaria, Russia declines to ac cept the decision of tlie present Sobranjo. Germany, Austria and Italy reply that they will accept any solution of the ques tion which is based on the Berlin treaty’. THE POPE’S CIRCULAR. Vienna, July 16. —A circular prepared by the Pope in reference to the election of Prince Ferdinand of Saxe-Goburg-Uotha as Prince of Bulgaria, has Ihs-ii presented to the Austrian government. Count Kal noky, the Inqierinl Foreign Minister, In his reply to the circular, will say that Austria does not object to Prince Ferdinand, and will not exercise her right of veto if the Prince attempts to occupy the throne. Construed as Advantageous. London. July 16.—The Standard say*: “The breakdown of tlie Egyptian conven tion is deoidodly advantageous to England, who stands unpledged before Euro|e, and may continue occiqiation of Egy pt as long as considered neoeesary.” SIR WOLEF KAILS FOR LONDON. Constantinople. July 16.—8ir Henry Drummond Wolff, the ipecial English en voy who was ordered to leave Constanti nople on the Multan refusing to sign the Eygyptian convention, has started for Lon don. GLADSTONE ON THE FIGHT. Need for Local Legislation to Meet the Wants of the People. London, July 16.—Mr. Gladstone, at a banquet given by the Scottish Commoners of the National Liberal Club, in rescinding to a toast to his health, said that one effect of the exhaustive discussion of the Irish question in Parliament, was the bringing before the Welsh and Scotch peoples of the necessity for local legisla tion in accordance with national wants and traditions. Ho denied that there was auy alliance between the Lilicrals and Nationalists of which either party need be ashamed, and declared that whatever alliance existed was independent. The Pnr nellites, he said, were free to join the Tories if they thought such a union would be to their advantage. anxious for a settlement. Mr. Gladstone said that his anxiety to effect a settlement of the Irish question would prevent him from limiting himself to his own views, he would endeavor to pro mote any settlement that would fulfill two absolute conditions, the first of which was to satisfy' the Irish people and the second to have nothing to do with a settle ment, that would in any way threaten the greatness of the empire, STOPPING LEGISLATION. Proceeding to refer to the paralysis of public business which the stopping of any legislation for Scotland would have, ho said that one Parliament for the whole empire might be a grand thing, but it did not follow that all the good was on one side. This was not felt to be so in America, where the Senate did not make laws for the whole of the United States, though it might not be un reasonable to attempt it, however unfair it might be to distinctive interests. A COMPLETE TRIUMPH. Nothing would be more complete than the government’s triumph in carrying the crimes bill. Mr. Chamberlain had marie the most cheering declarations on the land bill, and had been more or less supported by Lord Randolpli Churchill. This matter was of the utmost gravity. Would the dissidents hold together in de manding relief for the Irish tenants in the same fashion as they' held together to de prive them of thoir rights. THE TORY ADVICE. The Tory committee had advised that the rents of 200,000 tenants be revised. Would the dissidents see that this advice was car ried out? Was the land bill to lie a woful mockery or a great and solemn reality ? That was the responsibility whicli fell flint upon the Conservatives, then upon the dis sidents, and after them uix>n every elector in the kingdom. Mr. Gladstone trusted that by the election of Sir G. O. Trevelyan the people of Glasgow would show their willingness to do justice to Ireland. INJURED WHILE EVICTING. Dublin, July 16.—A tenant named By'rne and two bailiffs were seriously wounded while evictions at Coolgraney were being effected. At the Kerry Assizes three mur der and two “white boy” Cases were post poned, the counsel for the crown declaring that it would be impossible to obtain a jury the members of which would do their duty. Judge O’Brien denounced Kerry juries. BOULANGER’S BREAK. Frenchmen Must Assume the Attitude of a Great People. Paris, July 16.—Gen. Boulanger has written a letter to Deputy Lauer, thanking him for his expression of attachment and friendship, which he says are becqming rare. The letter says(jt hat the writer will do his duty despite the hatred and defection of former friends. It is sufficient for him to remain friends with those who wish France respected and who place their country above party intrigues. He himself has but one aim, and that is to proclaim to Frenchmen that they can and must raise their heads and assume the only attitude becoming a great people. Gen. Boulanger’s letter to Deputy Laur Jins caused n sensation in the Chamber of deputies. It is reported that the General will be called to account for it. M. Laur states that the letter was confidential and that the responsibility for publishing it rests with him. The Parisian Mob’s Sport. Paris, July 16. —On the night of the fete some persons who were riding in the cal* were compelled to alight by a mob in the streets. Those who declined to do so were forcibly removed from the vehicles. A hostile demonstration was made at the Ger man Embassy in Bordeaux, and the win dows were broken in the office of the local government organs. Mr. McLean Coming Home. Baris, July 16.—United States Minister McLean will sail for New York in the steamer Normandie, July 30. A FAILURE AT GALVESTON. Kauffman & Runge Embarrassed by Cotton Speculation. Galveston, July 16.—The old and well known firm of Kauffman & Runge has as signed in favor of Mrs. Kauffman. The assignment was caused by unfortu nate speculations of Julius Runge, the senior member, in cotton. Ail is merely speculation vet as to how deeply the firm is involved. The failure will not affeet other commercial houses of this city. As far as inquiry can elicit from authoritative sources, there was no entangling ailinjice* with Mr. Runge in his cotton deals; hence his failure only affects the firm of which he was so conspicuous u member. Messrs. Kauffman and Runge are both absent from the city. The former ih in Europe and the latuir in New York. COKE STRIKERS TO COLLAPSE. The Work of Eviction Already Begun by the Sheriff. Pittsburg, Pa., July 16.—The new men who were sent to the coke regions yesterday all went to work this morning, and the op erators say that the reports from the regions to-day indicate that the great strike will collapse by the first of next week. The Sheriff experienced considerable difficulty in procuring deputies to-day to assist in evicting the strikers at Red Stone and I/Oisenring, and when Imprisonment was threatened all the available men secreted themselves. Sheriff Miller is determined to proceed, ami a number of evictions were made this afternoon. Tobacco Dealer* Assign. Lynchburg,Va., July 16.—W. D. Smyth, a leaf tobacco dealer, formerly owner at the Greek Slave cigarette works, ho* filed a deed of assignment to W. W. Wilson. His liablllitie* are $20,000 and his assets un known. George R. Sibley Dead. Augusta, Ga., July 16— George R. Bib ley, a prominent merchant and President of tlie National Bank of Georgia, died sudden ly at bis residence at Summerville about midnight. CLEVELAND IN PERIL THE ENGINEER OF HIS TRAIN DEAD BESIDE HIS CAB. A Broken Connecting-Rod Tears a Hole in the Boiler and Endangers the Life of Everyone Aboard the Train —The Sail on the River Marked by a Snub From Canada. Watertown, N. Y\, July 16,—The Pres idential party loft Forest Port for the Thous and Islands at 9:15 o’clock this morning. Edward, the mail carrier, brought them over from Forest Port in a most magnifi cent covered wagon with yellow wheels ever seen in this part of the country. In it were the President and his wife aad Rev. William N. Cleveland and his wife. At the depot Railroad Commissioner John D. Ker nan and his wife joined the warty. Tlie train left Utica at about 8 o’clock, having on board Secretary of the Treasury Fair child, and his wife, who had come down from Cazenovia. AT HOLLAND PATENT. At Holland Patent a stop was made, and the members of the Cleveland fumily, who were to participate in the family re union, got aboard. They were Miss Rose Eliza beth Cleveland, and her neices Misses Mary and Carrie Hastings, wiio made thoir home with her at “The Weeds,” and Mr. and Mrs. L. Lymans of Walworth, Wayne county. Miss Hamlin, an intimate friend of Miss Rose Cleveland, who was a welcome gin'st at the White House, also became a member ot the party. Tlie President had retired im mediately after last night’s reception and this morning he said he never felt better. GREATLY PLEASED. He was greatly pleased with his treatment by the Forest Port people. Said he in con versation on the train. “I declare 1 am very much pleased with these little receptions which have been given at Forest Port, Hol land Patent and Clinton. The people in the country act very nicely. They are so quiet and polite, and there is no rudeness or jostling one another for positions. Then there are just about enough of them to make a reception pleasant, without being in the loiCif fatiguing. I think the country people especially are deserving of the very kindest treatment by you newspiqier men.” ! BOTH PARTIES PARTICIPATE. The Committee of Reception at Forest Port was composed equally of Republicans and Democrats, the former vieing with tin latter in the endeavor to make the Presi dent’s sojourn in the village pleasant. From the Alder Creek railroad station, where the party took the train to Cape Vincent, where they emliarked on the steamboat on which V hey sail among the islands is a distance of ninety miles. The train was scheduled to make it in two hours. It slowed down at Boonville, seven miles from Forest Port, where the crowd cheered the President and his wife as they stood oil the rear platform of the drawing-room car. At Port Leydon it again slowed down and a crowd cheered them. At Glendale a stop was made for water, and tlie people on the dejiot platform crowded forward to shake hands. Half a dozen children pressed forward, each of whom the President shook by the hand. At Lowville, one of the largest villages in this section, about all the inhabitants were at the depot, and a salute was fired. The President stepped down to tho platform, and was introduced, to such os’ could crowd forward in the three minutes time, by Post master Bostick. At Carthage a large crowd was assem bled, and tlie train again slowed down. The depot: was handsomely draped. At 10:40 o’clock the party reached Water town, having male the run of sixty-six miles in 1 hour and 40 minutes. 500 PEOPLE AT THE DEPOT. There was a crowd of 500 persons at the depot in this city when the train drew in, and nearly all expected that a short stop would lie made. About fifteen minutes be fore the train arrived, however, Postmaster John 8. Streeter received a telegram saying that the train would not stop here liecause tlie President was not well. General Man ager Britton arrived here at 10:30 o'clock on a special train from Oswego, bringing a party of Mrs. Cleveland’s friends. They were Mr. and Mrs. Britton, Mr. and Mrs. Theodore Irwin, Mr. and Mrs. Ivlwin Allen, Mrs. Capt. Palfrey of Oswego,Mrs. Collouglk of Massachusetts, and Mrs. Burbank and daughter of Oswego. A special train from Oswego was left at the junction of the Cape Vincent branch with the main line of the Rome,Watertown and Ogdenshurg Railrond alsiut a mile from tho Watertown depot. No stop was made until the junction was reached, where the special car from Oswego was coupled on. The inn through the city was made siowlv. President anil Mm. Cleveland stood on the rear platform of their car and bowed to the people at the depot. A cheer went up as tho train passed. NOT LOOKING WELL. The President was not looking particularly welt* to-day and Mra. Cleveland wan evi dently suffering very much from wlmt, is known ax tbe “sty” on her right eye. The ' indications were otherwise gixxl for an en joynble trip on the Bt. T.uwrcnce river among the Thousand Islands. When the islanders woke up last night and heard a heavy rain pouring down above their heads they thought it extremely improbable that they would see the President of the United States to-<law but when morning came their fears were disjiellcd by bright sunlight. Many people went over to Clayton on the early boats, honing to catch a glimpse of the Presidential party at that place, but they were sadly disappointed when the St. Lawrence left there at 8:J0 o'clock for Cape Vincent. AT CAPE VINCENT. She arrived at the capo at 10 o'clock with a few reporters on board, and found the vil lagers already gathered at the depot to greet the President. The crowd continued to in crease until II o’clock, when over 1,000 jx<ople welcomed the President. The party immediately proceeded to the steamer St. Lawrence, President and All's. Cleveland returning the salutations of the crowd. The steamer pulled out amid cheers. The St. lawrence was decorated with flags. She lift rely touched at Clayton and Round Island Park. At Thousand Island Park a salute was fired. At each place President and Mrs. Cleveland bowed their acknowl edgetnents. They reached Thousand island Park at 1:30 o’clock this afternoon. SNUBBED BY A CANADIAN. Oswego, N. Y., July 10. —The St, Lawrence made her way in the direction of the Thousand Island Park, nud when about equally distant from the two places met the Canadian steam er Spartan, from Montreal for Toronto. The steamer passed in close proximity, but the foreigners made no sign of recognition, notwithstanding that the Union Jack floated from the Bt. law rence's The turnout of people at the jsxrk was the largest encountered, but no stop was made. ()ne of the features at the nark was the decorations of the cottage of John A. Traver, exx-ommander of Post Hpratt of the Orand Army of the Republic of Water- I town. The St.' Lawrence passed close to Central Park and took a turn about a small Island there. WAITING TO LAND. Then the channel was taken to Alexan dria Bay. At 6 o'clock the steamer could hr wn from Clayton winding in and out of the islands, and the hand of people made ready to receive the party. Again the boat headed down the river, the idea being to re main among the islands until the illuminations could be aeon. The United States revenue cutter Bibb, Cnpt. Constable commanding, which was at Cape Vincent when the excursion embarked, pro ceeded at i*noe to Clayton to be present at the landing of the party, which took a train for Alder Creek at this point. AN ACCIDENT To THE TRAIN. Utica, N. Y., July 10. —An accident hap pened to the President’s train to-night while returning from Clayton to Alder Creek.
