Ex-President Harrison lias beeu quite ill for the past week, and at one time his Illness threatened to take a dangerous turn, but he is now rapidly improving and will be out in few days. The treaty of peace between China and Japan is to be signed at Shini onoseki. In other words, China's hu miliation is not even to be relieved by allowing it to be consummated at a place with a name that she can pronounce. Two electricians at Gratz, Austria, claim to have invented an arrange ment by vvhich a newspaper can be printed by telegraph in any number of places at the same time. This opens up great responsibilities, but we ex pect to be equal to them, as usual. Spain Is rash in assailing the United States at this time.

A magazine article says that the American negro dialect as printed in stories and songs, is in reality the lin go of the poor Southern white trash. There is some truth in this, but it ia entirely true that the Yankee dialect found in British stories is purely a British invention. The real Yankee talk escapes the English powers of apprehension. The evidence that is being collected by the commission sent out to inves tigate the Armenian outrages seems to be corroborating the worst stories that have been told of Turkish bru tality, and the complete report is like ly to show a condition of things that will warrant the interference of other nations for the protection of a terri. bly oppiessed people. The mayors of New York and Brooklyn have decided to give wom en a shore in municipal government by appointments on boards of education, street cleaning departments and boards of charity and correction.

Alphonse Daudet has been more of a traveler than most Frenchmen of letters and his approaching visit to England Is said to bo only the prelude to a long series of journeyings. He expects to visit this country and the far East before he settles down to Parisian life again.

While that coun try has but 100 miles in operation, the grading remains of a railway between Shanghai and Woo Sung, which was built by English capitalists in 187G and bought and torn up by the Chi nese authorities to satisfy the opposi tion of the people. The existing road runs out of Tien-Tsin, in Northeastern China, but all efforts to overcome tho hostility of the natives to its exten sion have failed. Japan has about 2,000 miles of railway, and is constant ly adding to its system. When a rail way boom breaks out in Asia the man ufacturers and contractors of this country will be found ready to supply a long-felt want worth talking about.

Hints of Foul Play in Connection With James G. Fair's Death.

A SIOUX CITY BLAZE f. NEARLY f30O,00O WORTH OF PROP- ERTY IN ASHES. Fire Destroys the Warehouse of the Western Transfer Company and Partially Destroys a Linseed Oil MillLoss About f40O,OOO. Sioux City, March 23.One of the most serious fires in the history of Sioux City completely destroyed the warehquse of the Western Transfer company at 200Iowa street, with its contents, entailing a loss of more than $200,000. The high wind which was blowing communicated the flames to the linseed oil mill across the street, and it was partially destroyed and the greater part of its contents consumed, making a total loss of $400,000. The wind, which had been blowing from the southeast, now changed, and with increased velocity blew for a time di rectly from the east., This communi cated the flames* to two big tanks owned by the linseed oil mills and the platforms on which they rested began to burn fiercely. Thousands of people had congregated by this time, and when they saw the tanks on fire there was a wild stampede. The storage building was an immense structure, 130x60 feet, including the brick oil storage annex. The main part of the elevator was five stories high and had a capacity of 150,000 bushels. In the bins at the time was stored 100,000 bushels of flaxseed, and on the lower floor several thousand tons of linseed oil cake were ready for the market. In the annex the oil was in huge tanks, having an estimated capacity of 120,000 gallcns. When it was plain that nothing could be done toward saving the implement warehouse, the firemen turned their attention to saving the oil mill storage house. Mayor Fletcher telegraphed to Lomars and Missouri Valley for the lue departments of those towns, and they were soon in readiness to re spond, but when it was found that the fire could be controlled messages were sent to hold them back. The building of the Western Trans fer company was a mammoth frame structure, four stories high, covered with corrugated iron, the iron aided the flames, as it kept the water from reaching the woodwork. The huge four-story and basement warehouse, 100x130 feet, was filled from top to bottom with fai implements and ma chinery, the value of which was about $200,000. This machinery was owned by about twenty implement companies in different parts of the United States. Cotton Consumed.

It is impossible to get the exact number of bales consumed, but from what employes of the press say there were nearly 20.000 bales stored in the two yards, which were burned ovr. The loss will probablv amount to $100,000. A great deal of the insur ance was placed in foreign companies which have agencies in this city. NO WHITES WAMED. Negroes in Cuba Tirrninjr the Revo lution Into a Race War. New York. March 23.A special dis patch from Nassau says: Additional news continues to be received from Cuba of insurgent victories in the east. The latest and most startling yet received is to the effect that Guil lennon Moncada, the negro leader of A band near Guantanamo, is one of the few men who want to turn the revolution into a race war. It is also reported that he surprised a large de tachment of Spanish troops recently and completely routed them. In this battle, it is said, 200 Spaniards were killed and wounded. This was fol lowed by cruel and inhuman treatment of the Spaniards by Moncada's forces. There was but one white man in Mon cada's detachment. After the battle he ordered this man to leave the camp, saying the whites had failed to free Cuba in the last war, and that now in dependence would be secured by the negroes. Moncada's idea seems to be to make another San Domingo of Cuba. His attitude is deplored by the sympathizers with the revolutionary rcm ement. SIXTY ARE DEAD.
