morning to fire the couuty jail, where
he was incarcerated. About 1230

the llames were springing up from
Deune's mattress. Gray jumped up
with a yell, when Deune seized hold
of him and commanded silence. A
terrible struggle ensued.
The night jailer heard the cries of
Gray and the other prisoners, and
rushed down to the cell followed by
several policemen. They found Gray
unconscious from the choking Denne
hail given him, and from smoke. The
fire was put out with difiiculty.
Gray's condition is pronounced criti

that no arrangement has so far been

company, although active negotiations
are being had with that end iu view.
The Northern Pacific company have
resolved to put on a steamship line
between Tacouia, China and Japan.
This im'Hiriant step is rendered nec
csxiry by reason of the fact that the
Canadi.-ui Pacific has had a China line
in operation for some two years. It
was thought belter before taking this
step to make arrangements if practica
ble with one of the existing lines,
preferably ihe Pacific Mail. The re
sult of the arrangement ir made will
be that each continental line will bo
on an equal footing as to all China
and Japan business. The proposed
arrangement will in no manner affect
the transcontinental rales now in force
or future schedules. It will have.' a
tendency to make them more perma

On that date he called on a cigar
manufactory, 131 Clinton place, and
after transacting some business left at

Systematic search of all hospitals

of 100 miles, has been made under
Edison's direction without avail.
Gowan had Sl,800 in money on his
person when last seen; this may ex
plain the' mystery or give a reason
for his disappearance. He had steady
habits and no trouble. He had also
considerable investments in gold and
silver mines in South America but
there is no reason why ho should go
there suddenly. All the facts make his
disappearance mysterious.

Socialists Rule.
THE EM I EltOi: F-EELS r.EASl'.
Special to Tiik Astoriax.
London, March 1. Dr. Bamberger,
the leader of the German liberals, has
been interviewed, and said:
"The liberals find great encourage
ment in the result of the recent elec
tions. The immense increase in the
socialist vote must have alarmed the
emperor to such an extent as to make
him plead with Bismarck, who is not
in accordance with him as to the social
and commercial pohev of Germanv.
Bismarck did not countersign the em
peror's famous rescript and was fre
quently absent from the reichstacr.
Issuing this rescript just before the
election had the effect Bismarck pre
dicted double the sociahstvote. The
composition of the reichstag makas
little difference to the chancellor. If
any measure which he thinks is vital
is obstructed he will dissolve the
reichstag or rely upon extravagant
utterances. The socialists will enable
him to make combinations, and cain
his ends with their aid. This great
socialistic vote has astonished the
whole world and makes the emneror
naturally feel nneasy. Taking this
nuciiu kw "i uermaay aiong wim
the overthrow of royalty in Brazil, the
disturbances in Portugal and Snain.
and the nihilistic efforts iu Kussia, the
outlook for crowned heads is dismal.
To see tho day when even Germanv
will be a republic or very mild mon
archy requires no glance into a dis
tant future. It is remarkable what a
change has take place in Bismarck's
policy. He at last recognizes that he
must change his tactics.
