The Standard, in an editorial, says the re- call of Lumaden completes the picture of En- glish bumiliation. THE EFFECT ON POLITICIANS, ‘There is intense disappointment in London political circles over the recall of Lumsden and the total collupse of the war feeliog. The tories ar . beginuing to have an uncomfortable feeling that thry were duped into consenting the $55,000,000 vote of ocredit last Monday might, and that they bave been euchred throughout, Tue vote of credit went through its preliminary stage with a hurrab, stimu- Iated by Mr. Gladst ne's speech, which, how- ever it may be read in cold type, certainly carried conviction to those who heard it that war was certain snd imminent. Now they belleve that the premier knew that pesce was probable, aud that his grave, determined tone and manner, which more then his words fos- tered the belivf in war, was purpoeely as- suwed to invoke & rush’ of patriotic fever which should carry the conservatives along with the tide GLADSTONR'S INFLUENCR. ‘Whether this eflect was studied or not, it was produced, and Tories vied with Whigs in cheers and roars of ‘‘aye,” believing that they were hurling defiance at the Russian bear, Now that they want to oppose the vote they find their record of last Monday night au awkward one to get arcund. Those who determined to oppose the grant place much relian-e on the detection of the radicals from the liberal 1auks on the war credit ques- tion, but the main object of the oppomtion will be to extract further statements from Mr, Gladstoue, and if p le, to entaugle him in contrsdiction with which to bombard the liberals at the comiog general electien,, The universal feeling after Mr. Gladstone's lxeoch Monday night w s the exactreverre of that produced by his wonderful speech of just one week ngo. Then everyone be- lieved that the Premier's speech m war, though when they came to analyss his langu age they found iv difficult to giva a reason for the faith that was in them, Now everybody regards the chances of war as over. AL least all admit what was patent to iosiderslong ago a8 April 15, when your correspoudent vent- ured to begin his cuble dispatch with the positive assertion, **Peace it is.” DISAPPOINTMENT ALL AROUND, Now that even the most stubborn war propheta are convinced of this fact it is in- teresting to note the effect en the various classes of peopla most affectod. The effects range from giicf and rago to jabilation. At the war office aud the military clubs a fuoeral gloom provails. In the latter reeorts many bitter remark's are made about Kogland's shameful retreat, ond the loss of prestige which must result in India aud wherever the British flag has been respected or feared. In commercial cicles generally the feeling is one of profcund reliof, but there are seversl notable exceptions’ to this rule. Manufac urers of war material find a market, which was 8o suddeniy opened a8 to causo them to augment their plauts at groat expense, has euddenly closed, Speculators find themselves Lasded up with many commo- dities bovght at prices which mu-t slump to- morrow, and the middlemen ses the most promisivg harvest of a geneiation slippiog from thew grap; but the most disappointed men in the United Kigdom are the ship owners, who aro frantic with rage over the aplendid contracts with the government that they have now lost, after having refused tosell to Russis, because they felt swie of etting equally good prices and ® reputition or patriotism s well by selling to Great Bridan, Reyes, having Colombian army, has pro:laimed martial law on the isthmus, There had been & riot at Cullbras, due to pay-dsy sud rum.

DIGGING IN THR RUINT FOR REMNANTS OF THR . DEAD—A BAD BCENR, BROOKLYN, May 6,—The work of digging for the bodies in yesterday’s fire commenced this morning. The exceesive heat yesterday prevented systematic search. The firemen who worked among the debris in the interior of the building said they could smell the sick- ening odor of burning human flesh, The ruins were surrounded by thous- ands of people, some merely curious, others taking = wad interest in watching the laborers, the firemen, Ten tenement houses, which had burned out, are still unoc- cupied, and were in charge of policomen, the occupnta being obliged to shelter themselves a8 best they could last night, The lamenta- tions of friends of the victims asthe dead bodies were removed from the ruins last night were pitiful. A bed auilt was thrown over the bodies and many persons called to aee if they could rec- ognize the indistinguishable mass. Al failed and all statements were simply guesses. One of the body's legs were burned to the knees aud the arms to the elbows, Other bodies were merely a mavs of black cinders. The bodies were all those of men, When the father of the missing boy, John McGrath, went to the poice station he faiuted twice, and when he was able gave vent to the most pitsous moans, “'Oh, sergesnt,” he critd ““do tell me my poor'boy, my only support, s rot dead!” ‘Oh, bring him back to me!” The man was getting delirirus and bad to be removed, His son perished beyond a doubt, After two hours work the remains of an- other body was found and identified as that of Edward Butler. Upto 12 to-day noue of the bodies recovered yesterday had been fully identified and probsbly never will be, At noon nine persons had been reported s mis- it ng. At 8 o'clock two more bodien were recov- ered. They were burned beyond recognition. Af 3:30 o'clock th re were four bodies found, and at 5 o'clock the workmen took out two more, Thin made nine discovered dur iog the day.

New York Kefuses to Forsake its Fig- ures and Holds Chicago Firm ~At the Stcck Yarde, ON 'CHANGF. FEATURES OF MAY CORN. Special Telegram to THx Bre, Cn10aco, May 6,—There was rather moio activity in the corn and wheat markets on ‘change to-day than there bas been lately, though the bearish feeling continues on the higher quotations of consuls, June wheat opened at 88jc, being fc lower than last night's close, but it was soon apparent, by glancing over the pit, that the leading firms had placed brokers there with orders to take in everything that was offered This was due to better cables and the fact that the New York market was §s up, The condition of affairs was decidedly lively for a while, r— tions stesdily worked up to 89 and held firmly there. The leadirg local ehorts tied hard to bammer the market down by throw/ng quantit'es on it at the top tigures, but their eftorta did not meet with the derired euccess Offsetting this desire to pound the market was the fact that Now York still evinced a desiie to buy, and orders came in thick and fast, aud the local crowd could not keep the price down, Options sold up to 8980, but just before the closs of the morniog session promnent brokers threw & lot ox to the market and succeeded in easing it off to 889@884c, where it closod, CORN, Corn as has been the case for some time past, precents interestivg features. There is o steady demand for it, which iuparts a strength which islacking in other speculative markits, The etrong feeling was due to the lighter raceipts and a laige outward move- ment. The receipts were only 230 cars, while the thipments were 600,000 bushels. The first sales were at 470 for June—last night's closig prices - while July was sold at 47§c. There was an esger desird to buy from the start. Prices quickly advanced nntil June was quoted at 4742 and July at 47fc. Hero the market was held for some time on the coutinued good buyiog and a better general outside business than there has been for some time and a further advance in June options to 47§c and n the July to 48}c, was noted. For the firet few minutea there was no trade in May corn, but after a little there came a small demand for it. In view of the fact that close observers still believe corn is being manipulated theee figures prove interesting. A little later on May rold at 483c, while July was only bringing 48kc. Toward the close porties who had bought early commenced re— alizing and the market eased off to 47fc for Juue, where it closed. PROVIBIONS, Provisions opened up very heavy, and, though Juve pork was sold at” $11.25, which was an advauce of Gc over last night's close, trade in it amounted to almost nothing up to 12:30 p, m., the price being pushed up or down with the fluctuations in wheat, _After the hour mentioned it went down to 311,123 where it closed.
