LONDON , May 5. In the house of common *
this afternoon Gladstone stated , In answer tn
Inquiries that Sir Peter Lumiden , the British
Afghan boundary commissioner , and Col.
Stewart , had bean ordered to coma homo Im
mediately. Gladstone was further asked how
it was that Lumsden was recalled from the
Afghan frontier by England nnd ICumarofl
retained by llusaia. and if thoio facts would
not Indicate a confession of wrong
on Kngland's side In the Afghan
dispute. Gladstone stated that there
waa no relation between the cases
Lumsden and of Koraaroll. The latter was
not recalled because he was commander of the
Kusiian force ; , whlln Lumsden had been
employed in n purely civil capacity. Lumt
den , the premier added , had net bean recalled ,
but bed been consulted upon tUo subject , end
in complicity with bis own views , had been
requested to return to England , as It had
been decided to carry on in London the fu
ture communications with Russia about the
main points IP the Afghin frontier line con
trovorsy. Both Lumsden and Col. Stewart
had been instructed to cmo to London ,
ONLY AN OFKIOKB'S HONOR.
Granville in the home of lords this after
noon stated on behalf of the government that
he could conceive nothing better than refer ,
ring the dispute about the Penjdeh incident ,
Involving- the honor of two officers , to the
decision of a third party , in whom each side
had perfect confidence. In this way the
whole mutter could bo closed honorably for
both sid s.

LONDON , May 6 It in rumored on the
stock exch nge that Earl Duflerin resigned
the office of vtotrny of India. The Globe to
day tayn that the so-called adjustment of the
Anglo-Rujulan dispute is a poor shift , which
amoucts practically to nothing more than a
trace for averting a collision and which wiil
result in nothing but a transfer of the diffi
culty from Gladston's shoulders to those of
his successors.
PRESS OOHUENTH ,
LONDON , Moy 0. The Post thii
morning > ava one more humiliation ,
when they crowd so thickly upon
as , would be nf little moment if thereby wo
avoided war , but even if the frontier question
is settled the Inevitable conflict will be only
postponed for a brief prrlcd.
The Standard says Earl Granville throws
up the sponge In a most artistic manner ,
Wo have no doubt that when the British em
pire perishes It too will have ) learned to die
aesthetically.
The News BITS the government inuit con
tlnue to be ready for tha woist even while
they believe the worst Is not to come. The
fact Is that war has been avoided at a price
which as yet wo are uoablo to calculate with
precision.
The Standard , commenting upon Glad ,
stone's speech in the houao of commons last
evening on the Afghan question , says that nc
doubt is now entertained that the arrange'
meut between England and Russia Include !
the surrender of Penjdeh to Russia. Tlu

PANAMA , May D , It is reported hero on
trustworthy authority that n treaty has been
concluded between the government at Bogota
nnd tha minister ot the United States in re
spect t > security of the transit across the
Isthmus. The treaty confers upon the United
States government certain rights of guardian
ship of all transit across tha isthmus of Pan
ama , with special duties of protection to bo
exorcised In accordance with the government
of the United States of Columbia. It Is un
derstood that by this treaty tha
Columbian and United States gov
ernments will co-operate to maintain
the freedom of traniit against all attacks or
attempts to obstruct , and it is believed here
that tbo joint control over the transit route
under this treaty will not only authorize but
make it the duty of the United States to give
all required aid in maintaining the transit
routes clear for commerce , mall and passen-
fters.Cl The robber. Preston , who burned

CHICAGO , 111 , , May 6. The markets on
change to-day were characterized by bullncss
and a drop in prices all around , Trading
was less active If anything than yesterday.
The bojs in the wheat pit indulged in the
pastime of scalping each other as there was a
dearth of orders from the outside.
WHEAT.
Juno wheat opened , at 88Je , which was Jc
lower than last nights cloio. At the ttart
there was long stuff thrown on the market
which added to thn weakness at tbo opening
and the options quickly sold down to 87Jo.
Local shorts then rushed in to cover and the
price was shoved up to SSJc , and the see
sawing game was kept up. The
second drop , which was to ( J7jc
was caused by New York parties polling.
Tnere were no largo lines thrown out.
Every body took a hand in the game , but the
only deals were In small lots. The crop re
ports received were to the effect that warm
rains in some portions were bringing out
splng wheat. Theto reports , however , had
little efiect upon the market. Tha decrease
In the visible supply was not as largo as was
expected. Toward the end of the morning
session news was received that a report on the
London stock exchange was being circu'ated
to tbe efiect that Earl Dufferin bad resigned
his position at viceroy of India. This meant
further complication ? , and the shorts all
started in to buy. In consequence the price
of Juno wheat jumped suddenly up to Sc ! ) ,
and option closed nervous at SSJe.
CORN
Corn opened with a weak feeling which was
due rather to a continuance of yest > rday's
lack of strength than to any new element.
What advices and dispatches were received
would naturally have ma e a firmer feeling.
The receipts were lees than were c mated on ,
and there was a largo decrease in the visible
supply but still the market did not respond.
A crowd anticipated the free selling on ex-
bam ted margins , resulting In nearly the low
est prices of the day at the start. The first
tradoj in the June op'.ion were at 4GJc , it
having close 1 Jo higher. Shorts wera eager
to take advgntigo of the situation and bought
freely with the tlTect of adding a little
ftrength to the market. Juno sold up tc
4Cie.
PROVISIONS.
Traders in the provision pit stood looking
at each other all morning , and found the
game of matching silver dollars moro profit-
able than dealing in tno stuff Almost noth
ing was done. Still the inclination was tc
hold the market firm on the strength of a
falling off in the receipts It was tbo opinion
of one trader that the country holds all the
stuff and refuses to be shaken out , even
though the operators continue to hammer the
market. June pork opened at $11.15 , which
was 5chlhir ( than the closa last night ; sold
up to 511.274 , and closed at $11,20 ,
CATTLE ,
In cattle the prices as compared with yes

THE RTHELOK AND THE flAHNEI IN NEW YOIIK
HAnitOIU
NEW YonK , May 4. [ Chicago Times
Special ] The Russian corvette Strelok ro-
mainedat her ncchorage in the North river
to day , the object of tindimtniihod admlra-
cion by all sorts of people , who flocked down
to the piers , and kept the row-boat forty buoy ,
The officers on the ship said they had no idea
when they would leave the port or where they
would go when they did leave. Speaking of
the British war-ship Uarnet , Capt. Skrydloff
remarked : "It looki as if it had followed the
Strelok. " Capt SkrjdktT said that the Gar
net wig a strong and worthy foe.
"When do you expect to return home ! "
"That depends on the Ustto of tbo Anglo-
Russian controversy. " / "
"Do you expect any other Russian men-of-
war here ! "
"Well , I cannot say anything about that. "
It is generally thought the Strelok's com
mander has a secret mission In this country ,
having a direct reforcncalto the probable An-
glo-Rnssian war. Bo was closeted with the
Russian consul all the afternoon , Oa
account of her distance from tha city the
Garnet was not the object of so
much attention. At the British consul's
office it was said that she probably would not
come up at all. Sealed instructions from the
admiralty are expected by Capt Hand , and
until they arrive nothing will bo done It is
said that thnv are coming by messenger , who
left for the Wo t Indies by steamer before it
was known in England that the Garnet had
overhauled the Strelok and followed her up
the American coast. Hn was expected on the
Trinidad , which arrived in Havana Sunday.
On the Field t Gettysburg.
WASHINGTON , May C. When President
Cleveland's train was near Monnt H pe , returning
turning from Gettysburg , about 8 o'clock last
evening , three pis'tol shots were heard in
rapid succession , oa if from a revolver , and
the flath of a weapon was seen within two or
three feet of the moving train. It Is probable
that some enthusiast had decided upon that
method of celebrating the passage of the
president , and that the demonstration was
intended as a salute. Sines the return ol
the train a lumor bos spread through
the cily that President Cleveland bad beet
shot at. The president expressed bimsell
however , as having passed a pleasant day ,
and having been very much interested bj
what ha h d seen and heard upon the battle
field of Gettysburg.
The number of visitors to lha battlefield
was much smaller thin was expected. Will
the president were Vice President Hendclckc

The Abbott buildings on State street , which

with the building in the roar , v ore destroyed.
The rear building was undergoing repairs
and tbe props under the plrders gave way
when the entire structure collapsed , burying
tha workmen beneath tbo ruins. Fire then
commnnlcited with the front building and
despite thn effort ] of the firemen wore de
stroyed. The names of tbo victims have not

FURTHER DETAILS.
BROOKLYN , May 5 , Shortly after 9 this
morning there was a crash at 55 Atlantic av
enue , and people on looking up the street saw
that the root of the building and portions of
the walls had fallen in. They could hear
screams of the people injured , and it seemed
but a moment when a volume of smoke rolled
up showing that the building
had taken fire. Hundreds of people ,
men , woman and girls were at
work In tbo various branches of business car
ried on In tha buildingwhich covers Consider' '
able ground , having winga which extend
through Atlantic avenue to State street. As
soon as the accident occurred , those em
ployed in tha building endeavored to make
their escape and some who were last to reach
the street appeared with faces beerimod and
streaming with blood from wounds received
from falling timber ? . It was reported at first
that 100 girls employed on the
top floor In Hvnes bolting works
had 4been killed by tha falling roof ,
bat it is now known that most of them made
their escape by climbing on the roof of tene
ment houses adjoining. The building waa oc-
cupitd by twenty small manufactories and
there wera about five hundred men and wo
men omplojed therein. There were five
atorlfs , erected t wenty-seven years ago. The
woodwork burned like tinder. When the
firemen arrived they found many young wo
men at the windows screaming wildly for
help , their retreat being cnt off , and the fire
men quickly run ladders , but the girls were
hemmed in and many fell back into the
flames before ho'p could reach them ,
Alt was ascertained that tha engineer of the
factory , D. J. Lowry , who was one of the
victims , was killed by the falling of the left
wall of the middle wing on Atlantic avenue.
The cause of the fire was the overturning of
the boilers of a soap factory on the cecond
floor. The west wall of the middle wing on
Atlantic avenue had settled and the work-
en were screwing it up with jacks. The
ilddlo jack had been screwed up too tight
nd was lowered , causing the whole weight to
ome npon the two jacks at the ends , and fell
nth a crash , thus upsetting the soap boilers-
nd causing the building to catch fire from
10 luel beneath them.
Ten or twelve persons have been taken
rom tha ruins mora or lets Injured. Chief
jovison said he thought there were at least
wenty-fivepeople in the ruins , and may bo
more. The loss is estimated at $300,000.
'ba building was owned by Nathan Cuthlng ,

Thrtu bodies have been tiken from the
ruins. They were burned beyond reo gni-
'on.
