The Terrible Work of Nihilist Bands of In cendiaries,. [London Times.] ST. IPETEBBURG, May 29.-There can hard- I ly be any doubt that many of the numerous tres now spreading distress and desolation through the land are the work of incendia ries b -longing to the "small but determined bands" of terrorists, who, not sufficiently sat isfied with the knife and revolver as a means of terrifying us, are now resorting to a very old form of expressing discontent and spread ing terror. There is no official proof yet to hand yet that these fires are due to revolu tionary instigators; but the recent capture of two persons near Kleff with Orsini bombs. a quantity of compressed gun cotton in small pots, fuses and other suspicious mate rial in their lodgings, is very good testimony of the fact. The great fire at Orenburg was foretold by proclamations distributed in the town the day before, and a panoic has since been caused in Samara and other places by similar threatening announcements. A great many arrests have been made on suspicion at Orenburg, Perm, Irbit and Uraisk. At Pennrm there has been no less than eight different large fires within five days. Besides conflagrations in these and other large towns, there are daily reports of villages burnt to the ground coming from all parts of the inte rior. It must not be thought, however, that these are all, or even perhaps In great art, thOeact of revolutionary inoendiaries;l'or a very large number of fires, breaking out as soon as the hot weather sets in, is a yearly occurrence in Russia, where the construe tions of wood, especially in the villages, the general carelessness, and the lack o good fire-extinguishing apparatus are I ne principal cause of hundreds of habitatioms being so often swallowed up by the flames iefore they can be got under control. Last scmmer the total number of lires was 33,329, entailing a loss of nearly 64,000,000 of roubles. This year the outb>ea has been so sudden, a -d has al-' ready reached such proportions .t the be ginning only of the fire season, ,hat there can be no question as to the patrti ipation of the revolutionary party, if it can I, called a party, in this new calamity. IndedlJ, while I am now writing, we receive the news of an other batch of conflagrations. To-day, at Moscow, there have been two different fires with anestimated lss of 140, 000 roubles. We learn, also, that 200 of the best houses in Elets, a town not far from Orel, have been burned as well as the Ural Cos sack foreaosts of Zamtchalofka and Irtek, and several Bashkir villages. In tpe govern ment of Ufa 186 peasant houses have been de stroyed in less than twenty-four hours. Near Voronej three villages were almost entirely consumed a few days ago. These are only a few of the cases which I take at random. All the principal towns of eastern Russia have suffered, to say nothing of the rural districts. The poverty and distress among the rural sufferers especially are enormous, and if this new plague of fire is to continue at the same rate at which It has begun the country will be in a bad state, indeed, after such a heavy addition to Its other misfortunes. The insur ance companies are overwhelmed, and as a great deal of their property is, I believe, re sured in English ana other forel-n houses, the effects of the pressure will not. felt by them alone. "Fish and mosquitos" says the Albany Argus "have begun biting at Saratoga lake." What has Saratoga lake done that Itshould be bitten at?
