An alarming series of fires, supposed to be of incendiary origin, have occurred la the Cassel district of 1 to Four sawmills and eight houses have been destroyed at Kragennof, thirteen houses at Brandereen, ten at Grossenbach and fourteen at Heinfeld. Several persons are missing, and are supposed to have perished in the flames, and many cattle bave been cremated. The lower House of the Prussian Diet has passed the Guelph Fund bill, which provides for the removal of the requestration placed upon the property of the late King Georgs of Hanover and allows the property to be turned over to the Duke of Cumberland.

A dwelling-house in Posen caught firm last night, and before all the occupants could get out the staircases were burned away.

In the fourth story of the batalog house were a woman and five children. The only way for them to attempt to escape the awful death that threatened them was to jump from the windows, The crowd on the street procured a blanket, which was spread open and held in position by sumber of men. The woman and children 'were then told to jump;

The woman jumped and struck the blanket with such force that it was torn from the grasp of the men, and she fell to the stone pavement, She was instantly killed. One of the children jamped and met the same fate. It seemed to he impossible for the men to bold the blanket firmly enough to break the fall.

The petition states that the celestial residents in this country expect to suffer even greater bardships in the future than they now endure, and sccuses the United States of breaking faith, The blame for this is laid an immigrants from 'Europe and not on the native-born population.

Mrs. Montague is the daughter-in-law of Lord Montague. Halen Montague having committed some trifling wrong was punished by having her hands tied behind her back, and then being fastened to a ring in the wall of a dark room In some way the litte girl got the string fastened about her neck and was choked to death.

PROVIDENCE (R.L.), April 2nd.

The only opposition expected will come from those who consider the passage of the bill a violation of the existing treaty. "General Hooker will probably lead the opposition in the House, though he may be pulled off by pary influence, Various church societies in the East are sending In petitions against the bill on the ground that it would interfere with the missionary work in Chios.

In the Senate the bill will be opposed by Senator Sherman and, perhaps, Senator Morgan, both members of the Foreign Relations Com mittes. Mr. Geary will probably handle the bill and he will give every Californian an opportual

Affairs in Tonquin are going from bad to worse.

The Minister of Foreign relations explained the situation to-day in the Chamber of Deputies. The latest dispatch announces that several bloody battles have taken place in districts sald to be tranquil, and, according to the Minister, the agresions have been pleates and rebels.

The Chamber did not appear to be satisfied with this explaustion and when the discussion is redwed on Thursday it is very probable that the Minister will be called upon to answer some embarrassing questions. Resolutions in regard to Dahomey will be adopted to-morrow at the Ministerial Council.

The search for anarchists still continues and a considerable quantity of dynamite has been discovered in several cllies.

Moreover the police have ascertained that a great deal of dynamite has been recently stolen In various places. That more trouble will sccur on May 1st is the general belief.
