Bekltx, May G. The reichstag was

a speech from the throne the emperor
said ho '"wanted abovo all things to
effect further legislation for the pro

claiming the foremost attention were
the Sunday rest and the restriction of
women's and children's labor. A bill
would be laid lefore the reiclistag
for the better regulation and or
ganization of industrial courts of
arbitration, so that courts may
be appealed to for settlement
or disputes between employers and
employed. I have made a point of
going alxmt among the European
states for tho exchange of views re
garding the joint recognition of legis
lation required to protect the working
men. I most gratefully acknowledge
the favorable reception of my sugges
tions, by all tho states concerned."
The emperor also said that his
efforts in the matter of foreign rela
tions, should be unceasing to preserve
peace.
'Since the bases of our military
constitution were settled, the military
organization of our neighbors have
extended to an unforseen degree, and
what had been done is thus rendered
inadequate. Tn order to prevent dis
playing to them the whole situation,
to our disadvantage, it is necessary to
increase our anny. To make peace
ellcctive, and to strengthen our dif
ferent arms, and especially field ar
tillery, a bill will be submitted, en
acting an increase in the array that
shall come into force on the 1st of
October."
Touching colonial affairs, the em
peror says: 'the action taken in east
Africa for the suppression of the slave
trade and the protection of German
interests has progressed during the
last few month, and ifc is hoped
tranquility soon will prevail in those
regions. The expenses of these opera
tions will be covered by a sup
plementary grant. Beside this, an
increjise admitting of no delay, must
be made iu the salaries of a certain
class of imperial officials."
The emperor concluded his speech
by saying: "If the labors before yon
are brought to a prosperous termina
tion, new and strong guarantees for
the internal welfare and the security
of our fatherland will thereby have
been obtained."

A I.anatic Asylnm Destroyed and
?Ian- Inmate..
Special to mi: Astokian.
Montkeaij, Que., May G.- The Long
Pointe lunatic asylum was destroyed
by fire this morning. Tho asylum
contained about 1,500 patients. Long
Pointe is about six miles, by rail, east
or Montreal. The lire apparatus at
the tisylum was utterly inadequate,
and several steamers were forwarded
from here on a special train. The fire
originated, it is said, in a cupboard in
the middle of the structure.
Terrible scenes followed the discov
er' of the fire. The attendants were
fighting with hundreds of violent in
sane persons, who struggled, screamed,
swore and attempted to throw them
selves from the windows and roofs. It
is said that fully 120 patients porished
in the Jlames. The building, which
cost aliout $1,000,000, was completely
destroyed.
The disorder during the fire at the
Long Pointe lunatic asylum was so
great it was impossible to obtain any
thing like a correct estimate of the
killed this afternoon. An accurate
list of the lives lost cannot be obtained
this evening. Dr. Iiorgue, physician
or the hospital, says ho does uot think
the number killed will exceed fifty or
sixty, but Dr. Burgess, of the Prot
estant insane asylum, says the loss
may be more than that number. He
save that a state oE chao; exists, and
the sisters have no meaii3 of checking
the registers.
The friends of the inmates are carry
ing them off in carriages aud the road
to the city is lined with cabs. About
ninety patients in small cells, many of
tliem" raving maniacs, and some in
chains and fetters, had no means of
escape. The fire was discovered
by J. A. McKeuna, of Burlington,
Yt., who only entered the asylum this
morning, for loss of memory. He was
sent in the room after being examined,
and found the papers on the Avail were
growing warm. He ran out, shouting
lire, became confused, and
after being nearly smothered by
smoke, gained the door, accompanied
by J. J. Enright, of Burlington. Mc
Kenna is quite rational, but greatly
tcrnheil, and lost all his eilects.
The fire broke out in the north
western building, rushing up the ven
tilator, attacked the roof from it, and
spread to the large central building,
with incredible rapidity, considering
the solid character of the
stntcture, swept everything before it
Dense volumes of smoke burst through
the windows, then flames shot through
the roof high, into the air, red,
massive and terrible, dyeing the sky
for miles.
The smoke increased, the flames burst
through everywhere, and within an
hour the vast pile was doomed. The
roof of the great building fell in with
a loud report, like heavy cannon, and
the heat grew desperately fierce. The
heat could be felt on tho cheeks from
the high road at the end of a long av
enue. Walls toppled and fell, and
only the blackened remains, at two
o'clock were left standing.
No power on earth could have
checked the fire. There were 1,500
inmates iu the building, many bed
ridden, but as fast as possible they
were rushed to the western wing, and
hurried down stairs or out on the
grounds. Thereupon the wet grass
they huddled together under blankets,
or "wandering through the grounds
with faces nntonched by the horror of
the scene, or lying down sleeping, with
old quilts for pillows, or humming airs
which breathed a spirit of happiness,
or looking up into the flames with
misery stamped upon pallid counten
ances, while around them walls fell
and roofs crashed in.
More than a thousand helpless
creatures were gathered within the
enclosure, guarded bv only one man
One young girl in the midst of adrizzl-
mg, rain sat at a piano m the grounds
and played music, while the flames
rose above her. Those who saw the
scene, will never forget it.
Seven nuns are known to be among
the victims, who were roasted to death
According to a statement furnished
the Boyal commission of 18S8, the
sisters of Providence spent in found
ing the institution, $1,132,232, of
which sum $700,000 was for the erec
tion of the building. Three buildings
were surrounded by parterres and
kitchen gardens. A large farm was
attached to the establishment which
included large out-houses.
The property was insured for $300,
000. From the constmction of the
buildings there has been doubt in
sonto minds as to whether it was
originally intended for an asylum or a
blast furnace.

Special by Tho California Associated Pkxss.
PorttjAnd, May 6. No material
change took place in the strika
situation to-day. The strikers "were
not a little surprised at the action of
the exchange, in voting to make no
concession, as it has been generally
believed by union men, that the con
tractors would vote to make mutual
sacrifices, with a view of having work
resumed. Now that the contractors
assert their intention of remaining
idle all summer, rather than recognize
the workingmen's union, the members
of the latter organization are awaken
ing to a more comprehensive know
lege of the situation than they had
before. Every day a number of non
union men are put at work on various
contraction enterprises about the city.
The strikers are much pleased at
tho termination of the differences in
Chicago, and say that they feel con
fident of a like victory here. They
say that every striking carpenter is re
ceiving $9 per week from the national
fund.

Some San Francbco Statements.
Practically there has been no change
in the situation on any of the salmon
streams during the past week. On
the Sacramento which is nearest at
hand, the strike still continues. Some
fish have been taken for this market,
but the strike is in fnll force against
the canners. Several attempts have
been made by non-union fishermen to
cast their nets in the Sacramento, but
always with disastrous results. At a
point on the river known as Lone Tree
two boats were smashed and the nets
cut to pieces. The canners are be
coming quite anxious to get to work
and it is said that an effort now will
be mado to conciliate tho fishermen.
It is believed that the Alaska pack
ers who have gone north with a tacit
understanding with the industry that
the pack is to be a light one, will do
fairly well this season if they adhere
to the understanding to make a small
pack of choice fish.
As to market conditions there is
very little new to say. It is commonly
understood that England and tho Au
stralian colonies have an oversupply
and do not actually need a case of
this year's pack. The United States
is well supplied aud will make no
large demands. Up to the present
time not a sale of new pack has been
reported. Dealers seem to be waiting
tor a very low market, but there is a
possibility that they may wait too
long, for speculators are looking wist
fully at the situation. They seem to
think that the stocks abroad have
been over estimated, but say that if
they have not, the low prices that have
been established by an over supply
Avill induce extra large consumption
and that before another season the
world's supply will bo reduced to a
lower volume than ever before, but
tins is all speculation.
At a meeting of the Sacramento
river fishermen's union held last
Thursday it was decided to furnish
salmon to the San Fraucisco markets
only. The strike will still be held
against the canners. Fishing for the
market was commenced last Friday
