of the burniug’Tuilding, and soon the whole
structure was a mass of flames. The fire evi
dently originator near or in the elevator on the
east side ami nefcr the south end of the build
ing. The elevator way was a continuous open
ing from the basement to the top floor and
gave the blaze* a good draft. As to the exact

Many of the ivnus in each floor were occupied

THE SITUATION IN EGYPT.
lIKLP FOR ENGLAND FROM INDIA.
Procltiiuutiou From tlie Jlutuli to tlie
'‘Faithful. ”
Tho Indian native soldiers of the Sikhe
regiment have been iu their first engagement
on Egyptian soil. A party of Osman
Dignia’s Arabs made an attack on one of lhs
British outposts in the neighborhood of Sua
kim, and the Sikhs wore sent out into the
open field to repel the attack. They were
splendidly handled, and they showed ad
mirable coolness and steadiness. The skir
mish was hot while it lasted, but tlie Arabs
were soon repulsed, and many of tlioir dead
were left upon tho field The casualties
among tho Indian troops were few and un
important, Tlie Arabs became pauio-strickon
when they saw tho swarthy Mohammedans
from India facing them iu true British stylo
and delivering their lire with such precision
us to make almost every shot tell
The hostile Arabs at night attacked the
ordnance enclosure of the garrison near Sua
kim and killed two sentries belonging to the
Berkshire regiment and wounded tlu'oo oth
ers. In this engagement in the dark one of
the attacking party was killed and several
wore wounded. The enemy also surprised
tho Shropshire infantry regiment's patrol,
killing one man and wounding one. One man
belonging to this patrol has been mussing
since the engagement.
When the attack was made, the rebels, in
answer to tho challenge of the pickets, re
plied: “Friends.” They then swarmed into
the zereba, overpowered the pickets and at
tacked the guards, but hearing men landing
from tho gunboat Condor, they decamped.
C Drying with them all their dead ana
wounded except the body of tlioir leader,
Abdul, wlio was Osman Digma's standard
bearer. Six of t!w British guards were
killed, and seven others were wounded.
The British government has ordered the
contractors to hasten tho construction of the

Tho Turkish authorities in tho Arabian
province of Iledjaz have seized sovoral hun
dred placards which had boon distributed by
emissariesof ElMabdi at Jeddah,Dokuh Lilli

The placards order the “faithful” to organize
and expel the Turks from Arabia, promising
that the prophet will soon arrive at Jeddah
ami will load his hosts to Mecca, where there
will be displays in the sky such as will leave
no doubt of his identity. The placards have

Rt. Louis.—Gov. Marmoduke has sent 150
militia to Sedaliu, Mo., to aid in repressing the
trouble likely to arise there out of the railroad
strikes. The Missouri Pacific is refusing freight,
and is discharging or suspending many employ
ees not connected with tlie strike. Home of
tho Wabash men are on strike hero, and others
say they will strike.
HjsloajulAl.—Men iu great uumbors are about
the railroad offices, defiant and firm in their
position. Not a ear of freight is being moved,
and there is no likelihood of any being moved.
Business is almost at a standstill and the out
look is gloomy. The strikers have manifested
no disposition to destroy property. Tho
strikers are embittered because thirty Pinker
ton detectives have arrived, who are hired by
tho railway company. Aujt.-Gen. Jameson
had a conference with tho strikers and in
formed them that they must not prevent trains
from moving. Tho pay oar arrived, hut tho
strikers refused to receive tlioir wagos, l>o
oausc, they said, that would sever their con
nection with the railroad company, and be
sides, the pay car was not duo for flvo days.
There are now over seventy engines in tho
round house and yards which have boon killed
by the strikers and over ten miles of loaded
freight cars on the side tracks. No passenger
trains have yet been stopped, hilt no passen
gers have arrived from west of Kuna is CJifcy
or south of Parsons, since Sunday.
Moherly, Mo.—Notwithstanding tho Mis
souri Car ami Foundry Company, who have
leased tho Wabarii Railroad shops here, have
announced that they are ready to receive ap
plications for labor, not one of tliw men who
struck Home days ago liarvo applied for work,
although they could obtain from tho <uir com
pany hotter wages than they demanded from
the railroad company. They say they will not
resumo work until the old wages are restored
to every workman on tho entire Wabash system.
Kansas City. —The strikers decided to offer
no interference with the movement of trains
on tho Wabash road, it being under the pro
tection of tho Federal Court. That road is
consequently running freight as well as pas
senger trains. Tho Missouri Pacific passenger
trains are not interfered with, but no freights
aro permitted to leave. The strikers are firm
in their demand for a restoration of wugo.4 to
the scale of October last.
Dallas, Texas.— I Tho striko is hourly grow
ing more serious. All tho track walkers aud
section men joined the strikers. Yard engines
and gravel trains in and near Dallas were
seized mid tied up. Hundreds of ears of fruit,
vegetables, and other perishable properly
are side-tracked, and all tho markets are
nearly hare, aid prices Lave advanced
nearly doublo. 'i bis class of goods is being
carried in large quantities in mail oars, passen
ger coaches and by (jxproHS companies. Tho
express companies say that tlioir tonnago
has increased 560 per cent, in tho last week.
Tho railroad officials havo served notice on
tho various county and city authorities, de
manding protection, snd declaring their inten
tion to hold the ooiiumiiiitieH responsible for
loHK< s. Gov. Ireland lias issued a proclama
tion against tho strikers, mid cuffed on the
county and city authorities to do their duty
under the law and aid Hio companies In pro
tecting their property and in moving trains.

when our riglitH aro Invaded or Bcriouxly

preparations for our defence. With tho
movements of this hemisphere we are of
necessity more immediately concerned,
and by causes which must bo obvious to
all enlightened and impartial observers.
Tlie political system of the allied powers
is essentially different in this respect
from that of America. This difference
proceeds from that which exists In their
respective governments. And to the
defence of our own, which lias been
achieved by the loss of so much blood
and treasure and matured by the wisdom
of their most enlightened citizens, and
under which we have enjoyed unex
ampled felicity, this whole nation is de
voted. We owe it, therefore, to candor
and to iho amicable relations existing
between the United Htates and those
powers, to declare that wo should con
sider any attempt on their part to ex
tend their system to any portion of this
hemisphere as dangerous to our peace
and safety. With Iho existing colonies
or dependencies of any European power
wo have not interfered and shall not in
terfere. But with tho governments who
have declared their independence we
have, on great consideration and on just
principles, acknowledged we could not
view any interposition for the purpose of
oppressing them, or controlling in any
other manner their destiny, b.v any Eu
ropean power, in any other light than as
(he manifestation of an unfriendly dispo
sition toward the United States.
About the “Hood Old Hays.”
"i guess these farmers who are groan
ing about low prices and liigb taxes, and
wlio are longing for the good old times,
don’t remember much about tlio good
old times,” said a well known Orange
county farmer. “I can remember when
wo used to haul our grain, bntter, pork,
and eggs all the way to Newburgh,
going one day and coming back tlio
next. We generally got fifteen cents a
bushel for oats and ten cents a pound
for butter. ,Seventy-five r rs a bushel
for wheat was a fancy pile If we got
six or eight cents a dozen h.r eggs we
thought we were doing well. Nice corn
fed pork, dressed, we carted to market
for $2 a hundred. Tho butter we pnt
on the market in those days was the
genuine Orange county article, yellow
tut gold and as hard as a walnut. 1 have
sold tubful after tubful of butter for 10
cents a pound that would net me 75
cents easy if I had it, or any like
it, to sell now. That was before the
Erie Railway came through here and
pint us up to selling our milk instead of
making it into butter. We didn’t have
any lime-kept eggs to sell in those days
either. As for taxes, I paid 8100 on my
farm of 100 acres when I was getting 10
cents a pound for bntter. On the tame
farm now J pay $42.50, and I have sold
my entire dairy of milk for what is equal
to more tßan three times ten cents a
pound for butter. There is.a good deal of
humbug in this mourning after the good
old days, and I know it."

tain noticed that Hie beauty received all
tho toasts and attentions, and his innate
sense of politeness and justice rebelled.
Ho meant to ret it right.
“Your daughter, sir !” he said to the
merchant, raising his glass.
“Which one, sir?’ was the response.
“Tho squint-eyed one, sir I” said the
polite, though not polished captain.
