Another Serious Flood Apprehended in [taly. Loss of a Steamer and Many Lives. FRANCE, B Spesial Despatch to The Chicago Tribune. New Yomr, Dec. 4—A letter from London, XNor. 18, says the meeting of the creditors of Bowles Brothers & Co. showed that the failure of ibeir banking house will turn outabad ome. ‘The partners conducted the business loosely. Charles Bowles is said to have negotiated secu- vities of whose existence his partners, Robert Bowles and Mr, Eeith, knew nothing. One of -the creditors, Mr. Meale, deposited $20,000 in bonds in their bank for safe keeping, which they hypothecated without his knowledge, and ;also failed to convert $5,000 of Nashville bonds for him, which they had undertaken to do. Mrs. {Mari a Gates lost £5,000 in bonds, which had been deposited for safety. Transactions to & rconsiderable amount had taken place between {Bowles Bros. and T. S. Morgan & Co., all of which appear to be subsequent to the S4 of October lnst. Robert Bowles states that it was ot till that day thst enything was due to Messrs, Morgan, fig since then, $250,000 had been paid them fhrough the New York house. o amount thus paid he described as aving been realized from moneys received by eaera. Bowles in New York and Boston, on let- ters of credit, bub not in any way ont of the Yunds of depositors present at the meeting. The failure has occasioned s great deal of in- convenience, and even distress, to American ravellers in Enrope. Ar.

Fivé hundred of the striking stokers employed by the gas companies were summoned before 0 Police Court on the charge of conspiracy. The companies are unyielding, and the stokers will hold out until their companions, whose dis- charge csused the strike, are taken back. Mean- while the absence of gas is severely feit. .

NEw Yorr; Dec: 4—A Berlin letter fo the London Telegraph says that the storm which Rvused over the north of Europe on the 14th of ovember raged with_ violence unprecedented within the memory of living man. Indeed, the local annals of the Baltic and the Ost Seas and thelr coasts contain no record of so furions and destructive a tempest for nearly 200 years past. All tho lines of railway radisting fo different points of the compass from this capital are encumbered with broken or uprooted tele- graph poles. Business on. the Bonrse is at s -standstill. The sea walls were smashed into atoms and a train swallowed up in the great waters. The accounts from Slml-s‘nndd, %eil, Graefowald, Swinemund, ete., read like descrip: tions of a second deluge. On Wednesday, the %reutEr part of Graefswald was under water. The 2t Sen stood five feet deep in the streets of that ihriving little town. The total number of craft thaf foundered at Stralsund was over ei; hty. All the fishing-boata belonging to Zingst, Dars, and Hidenso are gone to the bottom. ~Eight péople were drowned at Venvitz ; and ail slong e coast the iphabitants were ruined and suffering ::ru‘:ant of water, the sea having flooded all the ells. . i SPAIN.

The North American Bee=Keepers’ 5 Convention, Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, Ixpraxarorss, Ind., Dec. 4—The North Amer- jcan Bee-Keepers' Society mef in the Supreme Court rooms af 9 8: m. ¢ attendance 18 not Iarge, but composed of the most prominent asso- ciations of several States. Mr. Quinley, the President, and Mr. Clark, of Canads, Vice Pres- jdent, occupied the chair. The gession Was opened with prayer by the Rev. Mr. Clark, o Vico Presidont. This is the second gession of this association in this city. The President delivered 8 most appropriste and elocgmnc address. He would greet the society in honied words. If He who causes two blades of grass to grow where one grew before is a benefactor, 80 is he a benefac- tor who causes two pounds of honey to grow or to bo made where one grew before. The disas- ter of the past winter will not be soon forgotten, and no doubt the cause will be one of the sub- Jects recaiving attention. For his part, ho had concluded at the verdicts of the Cor- onors' juries is tho troe ome, to-wit: “Died Dy the visitation of God.” WWhile farming has its reverses, we may nok expect sn exception in bee gulture, a5 that lso has its ups &nd downs, and af times sud in certsin places produces wonderful returns: The superstition amonjs the ol bee keepers, and some in cur dsy, +was not elightly passed over. In short, the case of bees i8 & eimple, plain, straightforward mat- ter. Nor had it any mysteries. County and township organizations were recommended g8 among the most offciont aids to tho goneral dif- fusion-of knowledge. Any hive that contains frames of convenient fize and shape is suited to the wuse of the honey ex- tractor. ~Those honey hives have no gweeter honey than that produced by Sampson from the lion's carcass. In short, ho advocated naimrla hive, and advised the assembly to let the ! patent-hive man” severely alone. He said, “ietlm have a plain talk on these sub- jects.” He then turned his attention to the Bee Journal and the press, which descended to bad grammar and bad temper, and which make their sheots & vehicle of personal ill-will. Trwo questions wonld come up for discussion : First, will good treatment produce a more ami- cable disposition in the bee; and second, what cansed the disaster of the past winter. A Business Committee was appointed. Dr. Baker, of Indisns, resd s psper on the objects of -this society. This paper was in part & censure of the ofticers for the non-appearance of former reports of the soclety, and which wss accounted for on the common sxe-grinding prin- ciple.. He also turned his attention to the past course of some of the bee journals. that have iven too muck spare_time to personal matters. Thus far cold water has been freely ponred on the devotéd heads of the ‘‘patent hive men,” and they must have good pluck if they show . their handa 8t thie meeting, for the members present have come here for practical purpoees, and the patent men will have to take back seats. The numer- ous bee pamphlets that aresown brosd-cast over the county; he eaid,were mere humbugs sent out to zell some patent hive or g:ocesfi that is utterly worthless. Ho proposed that the bee journals publish thé fall report of the procesdings of this mesting, 50 83 not to be at the expense and de- Iny of publishing in pampblet form. This wes an appeal Lo the enterprise of this class of jour- nals that they will do well to heed. He called attention to_the value of bee-keeping for the Iadies, as & pleasant and profitable industry. Thio propts wieusgement of booa was takennp. Dr. Bower held that the disposition of the bee wag_inconstant, and they resented too grest familiarity., You may gorge them with liquid awestsilnnd then they will beg fruits. Mr. Lucas, of lilinois, held the contrary, as ho wes sstisfied that the handling of bees made. them more docile. This was more par~ ticularly the case with tht;x‘:uxa Italian. He' no doubt- that bees could be taught to know their keeper. He educated his bees. Mr.'Southworth, of Illinois, also held that bees conld be tamed. Mrs. Tupper said that' there appeared a wide difference in the disposition of swarms. Though they may not know their owner, they are susc:g- tibla of certain kinds of treatment. She would select gueen bees from those hives of a mild disposition, and, in that way, in time, we expect & more amiable race of bees. It was certain that hi\—est that are often opened are the least bellig- erent, Mr. Moon took the position sustaining that of Mre. Tapper. _Some swarms may be domestica- ted, while others are re fighters. He thonght that by careful selection we womd be sble to produce & better race of bees. He wonld breed only from those hives that show sn amia- bl disposition. Several others took part in the discusslon, and sented theories more curious than practical. The question was left in & mixed condition. My own_private opinion is thatsmoke and gentlo handling are better than all this moral suasion. In the afternoon, the Business Committes recommended the, employment of a special re- porter, end that the proceadings be tendered to the bee journals for publication ; the election of officera st 8 p. m. ; the subject for the coming seseion, * I bee keeping desitable industry on all of our fams and at our suburban homes.” The report was accepted and adopted, The result for the election of officers resulted 25 follows: President, Wm. F. Clark, of Guelph, in the Dominion'of Canada ; Secrefary, H. A. Hing, of New York ; Corresponding Sec- retary; D. L. Adair, of Kentucky; Treasurer, Y el Dudlse of Dindie; - Vie Presidents, B.

Reception to Washburne— Rogers the Murderer—JYapanese Steamer— Another Charity. Special Despatch to The Chicago Tribune, New Yorr, Dec. 4.—The reception to-night to the Hon, E. B. Washburne, Minister to France, tendered him 'by the members of the Union League, was apleasant affair, though many of the distingmshed guests expected failod to arrive. - President Grant sent ward that he had come to New York to attend Mr. Greeley’s funeral, and _felt impelled to decline the invitatibn: ‘Mr. Washburne's speech was genial and grateful, but contained no points of novel interest. s New Yogg, Dec. -4.—The Counsel for Heary Rogers and District Attorney Britton, Brooklyn, appeared before Governor Hoffman to-day, relative to's ‘stay of, proceedings in the case of Rogers. The Governor directed preparations for the execution of the accnsed on Friday, to be ‘made, and if ho saw any regson to interpose, ho would telegrapt: from Sing Sing to-morrpw.

Pleasant Reading for Detectives and Patrolmen. How a Guest at Anderson’s Hotel Was Robbed. Jewelry to the Value of $15,000 Stolen from Another European Hotel. An $1,800 Pocketpicking Case and a ‘West Side Burglary. When the announcement wes made of the Baltimore bank robbery, about four months ago, a prominent detective of this city, during & conversation about the acnteness of the burge lars who did the work, made the romark, “The Boys are coming tlowly Weat.” He meant by that, that Baltimore was nearer Chicago than New Yok The mnext barglary of dny prominemce Was One near Byracuse, N. Y., and th6se who heard the officer make the sssertion quéted began to realize that hehad spoken truly. He intimated that there would be some heavy robberies in Chicago this winter, and this also has been verified. There have been several New York thieves— burglars and hotel ¢ workers"—in this city for 5 week psst, and the first kuowl- edge any ome had of their pressnce was on Baturdsy night. On that evening Felsen- thal & Son'srag factory, No. 160 South Des- plaines street, was entered, and the safo blown openand robbed. The manner in which the 88f0 was opened indicated that the person who did the work was an expert, The hesdquarters officers pooh-poohed the ides, claiming that the safe was 80 old and dilapidated that a boy could hevekicked it open. Nothing valuable having been secured by the barglars, the detectives, of course, ceased working upon the case. 0OnMonday night ANOTHEB HEAVY ROBBEBY was committed. Anderson's European Hotel was the Bcene of it, and a gentleman named McMurray, from St. Louis, the victim. The theft was undoubtedly perpetrated by men who thoroughly understood the plan of the hotel, and the charsctar and habits of the guests, Their style of work, and the speedy and quiet manner in which it was accompliched, indicate that they sre old hands at the business. It is ceriain that the thieves were stopping at the house at . the time. Mr. McMurray, it seems, was alightly under the influence of liquor on Monday night,—80 much o that, upon reaching his room, he lay down on the bed with his olothes on, and went_ to sleep, leaving the room door unlocked and ‘the gas burmniug, When he awoke in the morning, he made a discovery which was calculat to startle a less nervous individual than be must have been after the little indulgences of the previoua evening. He found that the pockets of his pantaloons and vest had been cut ont and carried off while be soundly slept, and thst evarything of value he possessed had been stolen. "His pocketbook, containing several thoussnd dollars’ worth of notes and papers and $185 in money, was gone, and bis elegant %uld watch and chsin, worth something Jike 300, ‘was nowhere to be found. Mr. McMurray per- mitted a copious shower of anathematofallupon imself and his folly, and then songht the day clerk of the hotel. This worthy individual knew nothing of the robbery, as a matter of -plunder will course; it hehad seen anybody in the gentle- man's room he would have ejected them, but he did nathlgpun to observe any person in that pacticular Jocality, not having been there him- self. Mr. McMurray then reported the rob- bery to the police suthorities at the Central. Btakion, and was informed that every assist- ancs would be rendered him in the recovery of his property. Since then he has hesrd noth- ing from the Central Station. Yesterdsy, whils standing in a Toom in Anderson’s Hof think~ ing over his misfortunes, McMurray involun- tarily let fall the statement that he would be willing to loge the money; and_$100 to boot, it he could only get back the pocketbook and- the papers which it contained. ~The words were scarcely out of his mouth, when ‘& well-dressed msan approached, and handed hitn the missing documents. Not-a word was uttered by either party, and when the atrange business was transacted, the unknown walked out of the hotel. Mr. McMurray has not yet recovered his watch, but he expects to do 80 with the assistanse of the sccommodating entleman who delivered up his papers. Mr, indamm hag placed a watch upon the rooms of &1l suspicious perscns stopping at his hotel, and. expects by this means to&“ an end to the fear of midnight robberies on the part of his guests. On last evening * OXNE OF THE LABGEST ROBBERIES which have been committed in this city for poure, was perpetrated at Kuhn's ‘Hotel, on earborn street, just south of Madison. Over 815,000 worth of Jewelry wera stolen by s thiet who waa lodging there, Every effort was made by the propristor to prevent the fact becom- ing kmown, and Tme TRIBUNE reporter, who rocured the information, cannot publicly ac- E‘nawladga the kindness of the guest at the hotal Who gave him the points. The thief occupied room No. 21. _Directly ayipaeiea, soparated by an area-way, by which light is admitted to the Tooms on lower floors, waa the room of N. Arangon, importer of watches and manufscturer of jewelry, whose place of business is at No. 2 Bond street, New York. In one corner of the Toom was a large trunk, in which there waa an amortment of gold watches, ear-rings, broast- pins, rings, and other trinkets, representing in ‘value between $15,000 and $16,000. n- gon was at supper. The thief was not, and was aware of the absence of the jeweller. Lifting up the window of his room, he got into. the area-way, and crossed to Aronson’s window. The s was up, but the inside blinds were cloged and clasped together. With the aid of s jimmy, the burglars forced open the blinds, and was on_the other side of themina minute. Within five minutes the trunk was empty, the lid baving been pried open, and tho Jjewelry emptied from the cases in which it was Pplaced for preservation into a valise belonging to the thief. The man returned to hisroom through the two windows, &eized his hat, and walked leisurely down stairs, leaving the'door of his room open and the gas lighted. Walking np to theclerk's desk, he paid hisbill, threw the door- Loy on the counter, andleft thehouse. It was no- ticed that hé held his valise nesr his breast,. and ome of the porters thought he had gomething beneath his coat. Instead of following the menm, & Bervant was gent to his room, and found it in the condition stated, By the time he returned and reported, the thief was beyond pursuit. For the information of the polica, it is atated that the man who robbed Kuhn's hotel is sbout 5 feet 8 inches in height, has black hair, and & small goateo, and was very gentosly dressed, and very gealtlemsaly in his maannor and conger: sat . : 1tis due to Superintendent Washburn to say that it is rumored that he hss had detectives watching the hotels. If he would adopt the course 'suggested by 'a detective in 8 communication " published in Tue Trs- TNE in, Qctober . last — arrest all thieves upon sight and compel them to leaye the city ab once.—cfiam ‘would be no hesvy robberies committed in Chicago. Unless he does do some~ thingof the kind, there will be no end of burg- laries and robberies here this winter. .. . A POCKET-PICKING CASE. A catile-drover’ named Lynch, who lias been stopping at the Adams Honse for some days past, was ‘robbed of-- 31,800 last evening while Proceeding from the hotel to the Central dapot in an omnibus. He suspects that the person Fho gat - next'to him knew that he had l’;!zxx:ummorxmy¢ 1:vith him, and lu;odii in kthte us for the purpose . of picking his pocket. As Mr. Lynch did not miss the money until after e reached the depot, and sa the thief had by that time disappeared, it is probsble that the never be recovered, or the pick- Ppocket arrested. This railrond omnibus game 18, withont ‘doubt, another device of the New York hotel-thieves. , The hat Jtore of Hawia & Stone, N store of Harris & Btone, No. 108 West 2 A WEST and cap 0 Madison street, was entered on Sunday xnight and between 700 and $300 worth of goods Btolen. The thieves bored- a hole through the floor, and gained access to the establishment in_that way. _Last evening & candy- maker, named Joseph Jacobs, was arrested by Policeman McMillan npon suspicion of hav- ing been implicated in the burglary.

Judge Wood holds that the people, In their soveraifin capacity, have 1o right, by & constitution: | provision, to confer authority upon the Legislaiure fo pass the law, mor has the Legislature any constitutional right to pass the law. He holds thab railroads are public corporations when they want a land grant voted, or exercise the right by-eminent domsin, but private corporations, when their rates and fariff are interfered with, and the charter is a contract with the State beyond the control of the Legis- Istore; that - 8 may charge what they plgase provided it 18 mot L L ‘Warehouse Commissioners held a session to-day.

Be~ ¢ent events have shown : 4 First—That, after sufficient progress has been made by fire, and a given temperatare reached in its front, the usual means for arresting its progress are futile, Second—That no msterial now known, which can be advantageously used in the construction of buildings, can, under the circumstances given, ‘withstand the heat. Those premises being sdmitted, the only hope of proventing the recurrence of great fires seems_to Tost mpon prompt extinguishment in their incipiency. The grea t defect in the present syatem seems to consist in the time lost in running to fires with tho men and_appliances to operate sgainst the enemy. Can this be obviated? I think it may be, to » great degree. The power necessa to cast water on fires shonld always be at han whenever needed. This would seem ticable by the construction of works on the Holly plan, or something like it, within districta of compara~ gkv:ly small area,—say, for the twenty wards of icago, ten engines. The stipply of. water should bo exhaustless. This can be easily and cheaply accomplished by subterranean pipes communicating with the river. . - It is not proposed to discuss the detailsof * guch & system: whether firemen should remain at their station, or officiate 58 s patrol; tha roximity of depots for hose; the number of gm-plugn at each corner; the system of signals, &c., &c.; the only object of this communication being to say that many years’ connection with fire insurance, snd_fréquent observation of fgreat fires” proceeding from small ones, for want of immediate attention, leads me to the foregoing conclusi®us.

His Imperial Majesty, although he has com- pletely given in his adherence to Prince Bis— marck, could not be persuaded to open the Landtag in person and deliver the spcech. The whole Court party and the Junker party .re strongly irritated at Prince Bismarck's aitit:de throughout the recent negotiations, and it ii & common aesertion that his action hes been in'a. marked way in the Crown Prince's interes:. Many declare that there is n latent intention to institute an Upper Chamber of the Reichstag, or National Parliament, and altogether swamp the political entity of the Diets. This would com- pletely satisfy Prussianism, becsuse it would catch and extiny the Legislitures of the nou- mediatized States, and completely fuse Bavara, ‘Wurtemburg, etc., into the Prusso-Germin- realm.
