One of the men, alarmed at the izzoition of his varnish pot, ran_away instead of procuring something and smnothering the flames, and permitted it to flame up. _The- juterior of the bhure cask biazed up like tinder, and soon the whole room was raging with fire. By the time the firemen arrived and . the steam-pumps at the brewery had begun throwing their streams, one after another bad ignited, and all were flaming furiously. ‘The huge wooden roof weot in with a crash, carry- ing the otber floors with it, and a part of the wall for a belght of three stories fell over into the street.

The London *‘ Times" Disagrees with the Sentiments of Mr. Evarts’ Recent Letter. GREAT BRITAIN. BEACONSFIELD SPEAKS. Loxpox, Nov. 9.—At the banquet this eve- ping attending the swearing in of the new Lord Mayor, Lord Beaconsfield replied to the toast of ‘“Her Majesty's Ministers. After a review of the past eveunts, Beaconstield touched upon the alarmist theorfes relative to the imminent invasion of India, only to be averted by entering into a struegle with some great and unknown power. He declared the Govern- ment’s opinion was that the invasion of India was hardly practicable, asa base of operations of any possible foe wastoo remote. It was true the nortbwestern frontier of India was not scientifically rounded, and possibly a foc might be able to cause embarrassment” by compelling us to maintuin a larze und expensive force thercon. This pos- sible evil bad occupled the attention of succes- sive administrations, circumstances arising which forced it on the immediate attention of the Government., They believed an invasion would become possible if Asit Minor and the Euphrates Vajlev were beld by s very strong or avery weak Power, and had therefore taken measures which, he believed, would soon be consummated under the Anglo-Turkish con- vention, which secures possession of these lo- calities. - We shall live, I lope, on good terms with our immediate veighbors, and perhaps with some who are more remote. In rezard to Cyprus, Lord Beaconsfield said he thought it wise to occupy an armed pasition where the Sultan could feel that, if any danger vrevented him from carrying out the reforms which he willingly agreed to make, he could look with confldence to the assistance of an ally close to his frontier. The execution of the treaty of Berlin and rectification of the north- western froutier of India would intrense En- aland’s power and prosperity. 4 Turping from ecxclusively Ang lo-Indidn in-" terests, Lord Beaconsficld pointed: out that! there was another aspect of the. Eastern ques- tion which ‘involved the, independence of all Europe, und especially of the Mediterranean Powers. a The' Government's policy would prevent the fatal subremacy of any individual State. En- elana and other Powers at the Congress soucht to do this by establishing the Switan as a traly independent Prince. “Referring to the statements that the treaty of Berlin would never be carried out, be pointed to the number of its provisions which had been already fnifilled, dlthough only one-third of the time for its execution “had elapsed. He em- phatically and repeatedly declared the Govern- ment had received no intimation whatever from any of the signatories that they desired or in- teoded to evade the complete fulfiliment of the treaty. He thousht it quite impossible for any signatory to attempt to withdraw from its en- gagement, but could say, un the part of ber Alajesty’s Govegunent, tnat they would not *: a signatory whity woutld retire Trom their pol- icy. and their determivation is that the treaty of Berlin shall be carricd out in spirit and let- ter. And believing tuat the Berlin settiement is one that will advance progress ana civiliza- tion, and secure the maintenance of peace, the Government would, if necessary, appeal with confiderce to the people to support them in naintaining the treaty with a1l their evergy and resources. ~[Repeated cheers.] Lord Beaconsticld devied that the state of affairs was onc of danger, although from the important nature of the Berlin settlemeut, which was proceedintr, it was necessarily serious, He warued his hearers nat to place any trust in rumors that Englaud was powerless to assert the policy whichi sheBelicved to be one of justice and trath. - He was contlident she would not be- come as Genoa, Venice, or Holland. COUNT VON BEDST, Austrian * Ambassador, replsing to the toast “The Diplomats,” spoli¢ in'a tone somewhat in sympxtby with Lord Beacousfleld, stating it was his duty a3 a diplomatist to study the trae national feeling, namely, love of country ana coustiousness oL power. THE FISIERIES CONTROVERSY AGALN. 1.05DON, Nov. ).—The Tunes says: * Whent| we hear that publicopinion in the United States has suddenly been thrown futo 2 ferment by the revivat of the fishery question, and thut Mr. -Evarts bas wriiten two vigorous dispatches, the pudlication of which, 2 couple of weeks before the decisive elections, has aroused the patriotic teelinyss in 2 manner no doubt profitable to the Republiean party, we can unly wonder au the capuey for being excited by small things which ‘the Americans possess. - Evarts’ dis- patehes are concerned with what are apparentiy rutuer antiquated subjects,—a fisherman’s quar- relon the coast of Newloundland in January last, and the payment of the Ialitax award, which the arbitrators aunouuced nearly twelve mouths aze. Whatever may be the course of the Newfoundland dispute, it can have o beariug upun the payment or nou- payment of the Halifax award. ‘That must be determined by the American peo- ple upon the renerai privciples of honor and cauity, and without reitrence to subsequent disputes about other matters.

SPASNODIC ENERGT, CaNsTANTINOPLE, Nov. 9.—The Porte, Thurs- day, addressed two very energetic notes to the Hussian Ambassador at Constantinoplc, oné re- futing his denial of Russian connivanceat the Bulgarian insurrection, and the other demand- ing the repatriation ot the Mohammedan refu- gees, and the evacuation of the Turkish territory. GENERAL AMNESTY, PESTH, Nov. 9.—The Ewmperor has granted a feneral amnesty to Bosnia and Herzegovina. CONTRADICTED. VIENNA, Nov. 9.—The Political Correspondence contradicts the report of the Mauchester Guar- dian that a treaty had been agreed upon by Aus- trla and Euvgland, compelling the completd witbdrawal of the Russian troops. RUSSLA AGAIN BULLDOZING TURKEY. Special to Landon T¥mes. Benriy, Oct. 24.—The Russian special treaty | draft was rejected bythe Turks chiefly on ac- count of the stipulations referring to the indem- ity and the Turkish garricons in- East Roume- lia—the country already called £ast Bulearia in St. Petersburg.” The Turkish Government are sending strong detachments to Scutari, Mitro- vitza. aund other points-on the southern and. western froutiers of Moutenegro. . ‘The return of. the Russian troops towards Constantinople was made onlv alter the rejee- tion by the Porte of the new speclal treaty be- uween Russia and Turkey which, in accordance with Russian ideas, is toreplace thosc clauses of the 8an Stefano preliminaries that are not superseded oy the Berlin treaty. Simultancous- Iy with this military movement Prince Lobanoff informed the Porte thut Russia claimed the right to consider herself at war with Turkey pending ber refusal to sign the special treaty of which the draft had been submitted by bim and rejected by the Grand Vizier. If we are to believe the last accounts, things are more and more taking the turn which they had when the Russian and Turkish forces about Constanuwople were in a state of semi-hostlity, watchiog each other to guard agaiust a sudden attack, and preparing on both sides to resist such an attack. Most of tic Turkish tgpops have been moved into the positions evacuated by the Russians. The earthworks are beine in- spected, repaired, and armed. In the direction of Gallipoli the same is the case, and dispo- sitions are being made to increase the forces stationed there. Oflicers on baif-pay ure_awain being called to active duty, and a special cown- mittee for the defense of the capital has been formed at the Seraskicrate. On their side the Russians scem to show little disposition to re- sume their retircment to Adriaunople, On the contrary, partly on tho plea afforded by the excesses perpetrated in the evacuated distriets and the emjeration of the Christian population, vartiy on that of the nov-signatura of the con- veution, they seem determined to remain in the positions now oceupied by them ucross the isth- mus leading up to Constantinople. What with the approaching winter and the six wonths which still remain before the Russiaus have to acuate East Roumelia and Bulearia, it is not, mdeed, probable that much more than local dis- turbances hereand there will break out. Should, however, the Internaticnal Commission make no attempt to et the organizatton and adminis- tration really into ftshands before the Russians have to leave, those practical difficulties will arise which bave been urged by the Russians as an obstacle in the way of their evacuat- ing the country; and if they should want a pretext next year for remaining longer than the time assigncd, they might cusily ind ove in those circumstances. Such an eventuality, deed, was ‘alluded to in the Cougress when Count ShouvalofF, insisting that the time given was too short, pointed out all the diflicuities which nnght arise in conscquence, und the opinion of most of the Plenipotentiaries seemed tobe that in such a casea joint occupation would mieet the difficulty. But, somehow or other, ueither the treaty nor the protacols show any trace of this incident, and so there is a wide door left open lor unexpected contingencies. ‘That the neitation is not a sporadic, but a sys- tematic one, is proved by the circumstance that in the Bulrarian communities, both of East Roumeiia and = Macedonia, a petition is being addressed torthe Great Powers praying for the union of ali Bulgarians into_one Statc, as ie- tended by the treaty of Saa Stefano. It thus looks asif this Bulgarian movement would begin in an orderly manner. TUE BEKLIN TREATY OF NO ACCOUNT. The St. Petersburzx Golos, the radical Russian paper, of Oct. 21, alter.a long review of the in- cldents of the situation; particularly as they affect the relations of England and Russia, says: “* As matters are so, the entire policy of kussla towards Turkey will undergo a radical change. After the accisions of the Beriin Congress, no one believes in the continued existence of an independent Mohammedan State on the shores ot the Bosphorus. In point of fact, the Otto- mati Empire has even now céased to exist, being placed under the absolute control, not, indeed, of victors and enemics, but of fricuds and pro- tectors.' In consequence of the Anglo-Turkish convention and the first” division of ‘Turkey completed at Berlin, all the provinees of the Turkish Empire are io the market and awniting purchasers. The Power that pays best and is most acceptable to the Turk will henceforth rale at the Golden Horn. At the same time, the difficulties of the Turkish Empire arc on the in- crease. The absolute impossibility of perpetu- ating the present state of things is visibie at cevery step. The final dissolution and fall of the Ottoman Empire appears inevitable, and the question of the division of the inheritance may arise aLany moment. It is fncumbent upon Russia to prepare for contingencies, and to make her voice heard at the death-bed of the Siek Man. ‘The closer our relations to the heir, the greater the probability that we shall be able to protect our own rights aud interests when dissolution approaches. Pcople at Constanti- nople are likeiy to realize by now that the so- called friends™ of the "turk have treated him much more harshly than his victorious enemy. Turkey must have no cause to doubt that Ru; sfa’s intentions are honesc, and that she i honorably protect her against ‘the thievish de- signs of her selfl-constituted well-wishers.” RAVAGES OF WAR. The Thmes correspondent at Bacharest thus accounts for the resentment shown by the Turks on_reoccupying the territory evacuated by the Russiun forces: “‘There Is scarcely a Turkish villawre, or a Turkish quarter of a mixed village, which has one house left in a habitable condition throughout the whole territory passed over by Russian troops. Asthe Muscovites ad- vanced the Mussulman inhabitants. utterly panie-stricken, fled with theretreatine Ottoman soldiery. Within an hour after their departure the Bulzarians removed the doors and windows, and furniture,-of the deserted dwellings: and then the first Russian Dattalion which ar- rived, cold, weary, and hunery, encamped for the night in the abandoncd locality, and used-the raflters of the Turkish dwellings as fuel to cook their trugal suppers and to warmn their haif-frozen bodies. In this way Turkish soldiers and peasants lost their rude homes, and ive once more in their old hauuts they find nothing but piles of broken bricks where they seek the homes of their childhood.” ‘Tne corresponderit of course makes every ex cuse for the Russtans; but, taken in conjunc- tion with tne frightful crueities perpetrated on such Turkish men or women who did not, *re- treat”” with the Ottoman soldiery, every English- man must feel bitterly ashamed that an Euirlish statesman, backed by the ‘tleading® English Jjournal, was the first to suswest the perpetra- tion of these wholesale miserics in the notorious *bae and bagpage ” proclamation. AFGUAN LONOKS TO THE RUSSIAN LNVOY. BERLIN, Oct. 24.—Wheo Gen. Stolieteff ap- peared on the northern banks of the Apu Darya asking for admission into Afghabistan, he was siven to understand by the Afirhan posts on the other side that, the Beg sent for bis reception baving suddenly died, he must wait. And to wait be had for 3 whole month, when adnission was at last granted. Once on Afghauw soil, he was treated with the greatest distinction. Sbere Ali went out to receive him on the road, order- ing a Royal salute of 115 rounds to be fired in his honor. The number of rounds accorded to the Viceroy of India by the - Afghans is only fifty-one. “The Russian travelers found Afghan- fetan a_poor, mountainous. country, with bare hills and foundated valleys: the towns are dirty and the people seem destitute, GERMANY. SOCIAL DEMOCEAT ASSOCTATION. Pamrs, Oct. 24.—The Colozne Gazefte renorta the adoption of a new programme by the Social Democrat Assoclation for the defense of the inte'resLs of the laboring population, intended tomeet the demands of the pew Jaw. The As- sociatjon aims now only at the extension of the of the press, at grawnitous teaching in the sthools :ud unlversiies. at the leanl reeulation of the hours of labor in manufactorics, at pro- tection of female lanorund prohibition of the employment of younc children In manufacto- ries, and at complete local self-zovernment. BISMARCK'S BILL FOR THE REPRESSION OF S0- cuaLisy. ondnn. snectutar, Oct. 27. The Gcrmlun"dl’:rn'mnuut has at last passed the Socialist bill; and the measure bas not only become law, but. has been put into immediate operation. of a character obnosivus to the authorities. bave ceased to uppear; and ove thst trivd to secure o happier und brighter existence under anew form only made the experiment to nnd that the first tamuer of its uew fssue was also its last. Same political clubs have also received orders to dissolve themselves; and, especially in Berlin, Socialistn is already beineg effectually - Al repressive measures succeed fld" repressed. first. There arc journals that can be stopy without any one missing them except a very limited circle of readers, lttle knowa to orderly soclety. There are clubs that can be dissolved which have been the resort of a few idle, noisy, or crazy loafers. A few mischievous persons whose naines ar¢ almost entirely un- Imuwn 10 the public can be ordered to chanyve their place of residence. It is only at_a later stage that the wisdom of repression is really tested. But the Germans have come to the conclusion that they will have a policy of re- pression to test. Prince Bismarck succeeded in carrying his bill, not by obiaining, as he hoped, a najority at the recent elections, but throuzh the fear and disgust which Socalism hias excited ina large scction of German soviety which cleayes_in the main to Liberal principles. If Prince Bismark had not pushed this section in the direction of a Dbill which placea Socialists out of the pale of the ordinary law, it would not itself have called for any de- parture from the maxims by which it Tiolds itself bound. But when he insisted that a re- pressive measure was_indispensable if society ‘was to be saved, it could not make up its mind that he was altogether wrong. It was by the aid, not of the leaders, but of the mass of the National-Liberal_party, that the bill was carried; and those who approached the measure nelther quite likinz it nor quite disliking it satistied themselves with mitigating the rigor of its pro- visions. The chief coucession they obtained from the Chancellor was. that the operation of the new Jaw should be fimited to a period of two and'a half years. Some minor alterations were also made in the bill itself; but the main clement of the measure has re- mained untouched. This consists in .plac- ing persons whom the authorities declarc to be Socialists at the mercy of the police, subject to an appeal to & new court of eight members, This court has now been uppointed by the Fed- eral Council, and consists of four political and four lezal memhers. 'The smaller States are ad- cquately represented in the court; but two of the jurists are Prusslan judges, and Prince Bis- marck has ample reason for thinkivg that Prus- sian judges will aiways oo straicht, The court will apparently have before long much to occupy its attention, " The publishers of the suppressed journals and the members of the dissolved clubs will not think ot uppealing; but the So- cialists nave already announced that they fn- tend to write on new topics and in a new wiy. They will occupy thémselves with subjects that seem to be lezaily open to tnem, and” will yet offer & field for popular ngitation. They are going to take up public education, the regu- lation of the huurs of Iabor, local sell-gzovern- ment, the freedom of the press, and kiudred matters on which, with a little adroitness, much may be written that can bardly be said to be de- cistvelv Socialistic, aad yet that would seem dungerous and_ highly objcctionable to Prince Bismarck, It is by the mode in which writings of thls class are treated that the wisdom of the uew bill will be tested. If they-are suppressed, political Hie and thought in Germany will be for tne time effaced. 1f they are not suppressed, the Socialists will bave “outwitted Prince Bis- marck. As the Prince Is not at_all the kind of person to stand being putwitted, it is probable that the police and the Court of Appeal will suppress them for him$ and then, but not until then, the Germans who wish for politizal lite and cusuvate political thought will asvertain what the bill has done for them. ITALY . ELEGIRIC LIGHT. RoxE, Oct. 24.—1'he Syndic has under cen- sigeration a proposition'made by a Paris firm to liglit some of the streets and piazzas of the city with electricity on the occasfon of the return of the King and Queen to Rome, for which great vreparations are’ belng made. The arrival of the representativé’of this firm and the negotia- tions which havé followed have caused o slight fall in gas-shares. - S KING HUMBERT. The Liberta prints a well-merited eulogium on his Majesty, Kinz Humbert. 1t says: “ While during the crisis every ome ap- peared to. have lost their heags, the young, sagscious Monarch went straight alonz his path. Notwithstanding that 2 number of journals had for months rep- resented the Cairoli-Zanardelll Cabinet as lead- ing direct to o Republie, Kine Ilumbert had confiled to one of them ‘the duty of forming a second Cabinet. Some may gay he only did his duty: but is the fulfillment of a dutynota title to merit? - What mizht not have been the consequences had he listencd to the suggestions of those who would have him dismiss the Cai- roli Cabfuet and intrust a General to form an- other in order to ‘save the Monarchv? For- tunately, such an crror is not compatible with the loyal and maguanimous characier of the House of Savoy. King Humbert, who aseended the throne but s few montbs ago, bas slready shown himsell the worthy inheritor of the vir- tue and wisdom of his father, and deserving the admiration avd confidence of the Italian people.” THE POPE. AN INSPIRED NOTE. Rowx, Oct. 24.—The Osservatore Jtomano gives paiticular prominence to an inspired note re- plying to some articles which bave recently ap- peared in the Journal des Debats on the subject of theindependence enjoyed by the Pope. The Osservatore says it is not. for jt to inquire whether the Supreme Pontiff would not cnjoy less liberty in angother city in the world, but it s necessary for it and all honest men to pro- test, in the name of truth and justice, azainst the affirmation that the Viear oi Christ in Rome is not at present sub hostili polestate con- astitus, and that it does not render the govern- mentof the Universal Church most difficult to him. The facts are irrefutable, and the arzu- ments of the Holv Father Leo XIIL ns sot forth in most important docunients cannot be destroyed by the empty words of the Journal des Debats. — COMING IN JANUARY. .

SOUTH CAROLINA. Special Dispatch to The Tribune. ‘WasmiNGToN, D. C., Nov. 9.—Private letters have been received bere from various parts of South Carolina, giving detsils of the frauds openly perpetrated by the Democracy in over- coming Republican majorities. Stuffing the ballot-boxes was perpetrated with as little con- cealment as if the ballots deposited had been legitimate. Ti several localities the United States Supervisors were attacked and driven from the polls, aud in others threats agnlnfm them in advance were so emphatic that thoy did not dare visit the polls at all. The following letter from one of the United States Supervisors.in one of the countfes of Rainey’s district is a fair specimen of the letters received from differcot parts of the State. Itis datea the morning after the election: Dear Sin: Everything passed off quietly yester- until about half-past 5 o’clock. When Dr.S, D. M2 Byrd and others”came into town yelling and shooting pietols. They marched up into the Court- 1louse and knacked me down where I was standing near the ballot-box, saving that they intended to carry this precinct.” Theyat once commenced to jpstufl the ballot-box, refusing to take the oath re- uired of ull voters by the Jaws of the State. ey presented several pistols at my bead, and it was o God's mercy that I was not killed. After I had ~been driven from the ballot-box, Lawyer Kelly came and asked me to come back and discharge my duty as Supervisor, saying he would protect me. The Republicans voted in force. and polled more votes than iu any. previous election. While our usual mnjority in the past has been boiween 300 and 400 at tnfs pre- cinct, yet they claim to bave defeated us yesterday by 23 votes, "Of course, -that resnlt was secured by etufling the bailot-box. Last night the whole town wus alarmed by the shooting of guns by Xifle-Club men. Al the Supervisors stale that the polis at the varlous precincts were opened 4n hour before daylight, and betore they appeared ot their respective noste. Then it was the boxes wera stuffed. _ Yours traly. Sanven HANNA, late Fedoral Supervisor, A letter from Beaafort County, in which the Republicans are in a very larze’ majority, gives an account of the methods pursued there. Red shirts rode over the towns and lantations early in :he morning, firlog into houses of Republic- an leaders, and afterward took possession of the polls, standing about there onhorseback as to prevent the colored men from devositing tneir votes. This time was taken ad- vantage of to stuff the ballot-boxes. Later in the day, when a pretense was made of allowing colored men to vote, assaults were continually committed,jand by these meaus such a confusion was maintained that the Repubtie- ans {oupd it almost impossible to deposit any considerable proportion of their votes. Colored men coming in from_ the country to polling- laces were met on the rond aond” drivea back. Many companies of colored Republicans were dispérsed by armed horsemen, and a number of murders have been reported from various sec- tions of the county. . GEORGTA. Spectal Dispatch to The Tribune. ATLANTA, Ga., Nov. 9.—Emery Speer, Inde- pendent, fu the Ninth District, a brilliant young man, and who will be the youngest member in the Forty-sixth Congress, Las defeated Biliups, the rezular Democratic nominee; 176 votes. This defeat of the organized Democracy, with that of Felton's triumph in the Seventh over the orzanized party of the whole State,’is tne worst and most humiliating defeat the party has received for many years. Felton, Persons, and Speer ars to speak nere next Monday night, “and will recefve the ' grandest ovation ever accorded any men in the city. Speer arrived here to-day, and looks considerably disfigured about the face from a too free mingling with the mountaincers of North Georgria: He had several fiztts, and but for Felton's age snd extreme cautfon he would bave been as badly used. Theirs was the hard- est contest ever made in Georgis. Republicans and Liberal Democrats throughout the State unite in rejoicing over their vietory. 1t is, In fact, an anti-Democratic triumph, and, as such, we ask tie approval of all rood men. Next Tuesday the Legislature will elect a United States Senator. A strong effort s secret- Iy being made to defeat Gordon, but now he will nave no opposition, and a measure s in em- bryo to-night to get Aleck Stephens or ex-Gov. Herschel ohnson to become a candidate for Senator against Gordon. . Gen. Toombs fs here, and is opposed to Garidon in consequence of the personal aflair between Senator Ben Hill and Murphy, head clerk in the State Treasury, re- earding Gov. Colquitt 1edorsing bonds for the Northeastern Railroad. Gov. Colquitt has asked the Legislature to investizate the matter, 85 it was intimated that he received part of a iee of $5,000 paid Murphy for getting the Goy- egnor to sien the bonds. ” There is some proba- blity of the Lerislature repudiating these bonds. If it does the railroad cannot pay them, and they will be worthless. A measure was on foot urgred by zood men to prefer articies of im- peachment against Colquitt, but he has averted it by askine in a special message for au investi- zation. Senator: Ben Hill and ex-Gov. Smith are the chief men urging the matter. There is also a strong” movement on_foot to implicate Senator Gordon and_Gov. Colquitt as being inlerested in the lease of the State con- |, victs. This matter will aso be the subject of a “special fuvestigation by the Lecisiature.

Bubster, Consery- ative, is re-ciected for the Vancouver District by a laree majority. All the delegation from the Province ore supporters of -the Macdonald Government. - Special Dispatch fo The Tribune, OTTAWA, Nov. 8.—The old rumor, that the Government is about to_establish a standing army, is now revived. Whether or not this is true, it is a fact that 2 corps of tifty foot-zuards will be permaunently stationed at. New Edin- burg, near Rideau Hall,—the residence of the new Governor-Geoeral,—and a company of thir- ty cavalrymen, for mounted body-guard, will also be enrolled. The troops are to be paid at the rate of $20 or $30 per month per man. It this expenditure is reccived by the people with- out any manilestation of displeasure, the Minis- ter of Militia, it 1s said, will submit to Parlia- ment a scheme for raisiog o standing army of 5,000 men, nnd for the remodeling of the whole volunteer and militia system. An orzanized attempt will be made, on the part of a number of persons who choose to think themsetves superior to the massof peo- ple, to secure the oxclusion of all except their own set from the receptions at Rideau Hall. 1t is believed, however, that the Marquis of Lorne and the Princess Louise will frown down the aspirations of this shoddy aristocracy, and adapt democratic in their simplicity. The worst characters in Lower Town are pre- ‘paring for a series of Communistic meetinas to be held in this city. Several messages of a seemingly inoocent ‘character have been. tele- grapbed “here. frum Cricaze, sud the iaten- tion is, that. two or three weeks betore the meetivg of Parliament, 2 Communist orator from Chicago shall arive in Ottawa for the pur- poseof addressing public gatherings. In Lower Town at the present time, thereare elements of amostinflammable character,and thespeeches no doubt will be applauded, as similar speecher were last winter, when a mob gathered around the Parliament buildings and demanded bread. A gentleman holding an oflicial positionis said to be on the committee of management, and is using the agitation to svcure bis return as an Alderman. The series of public' meetings re- ferred'to are to be closed witha Communistic demonstration in Parliament-House square. A Michigun lumberman is in the city, hiring men to work in the shantfes in that State. During the season nearly 1,000 raitsmen have left the city for other lumbering districts, and the Ottawa lumbermen are now expériencing great difficulty in getting good men. This will probably have the effect of curtailing in o measure this year’s operations. It will have an excellent effect on the market, as there is already on overproduction.
