1 THE NEW DESTRUCTIVE FIRES. On Thursday night, 16th, in Chicago, a fire broke out in the five-story building 197 Lake completely destroying it and damaging the adjoining buildings from 193 to 199 to a considerable extent. Building No. 197 was valued at $40,000. It was occupied by Starret Bentley, implement merchants.

Their stock was valued at $140,000, the loss on which will probably reach $100,000. No 195 was occupied by Leary tin ware and stove establishment. Their loss is estimated at $60,000. The building was damaged to the extent of $6000. No.

199 was occupied by Whitman leather belting. Their loss was 10,000. Other losses are comparatively small, so far as ascertained. The insurance in New England is divided as and Merchants' offices of Hartford, $5000 each; Etna, $11,500. Also insured $106,000 in New York and Western offices.

Barber, Choate Waber's furniture factory at Cincinnati, was destroyed by fire Jan. 17. Loss $80,000, on which there is $35,000 insurance in Cincinnati and Covington companies. On Sunday morning, a fire in Rutland, destroyed Cramton's block and several adjacent buildings in that city. It was caused by carelessness of four persons who set fire to combustibles in the shop where the fire broke out.

They have been arrested and are held for examination. The loss on buildings is estimated at $40,000 insured for $19,000. Loss on goods very heavy--insured for $80,000, which will probably cover the loss. The farm buildings of John Brown, of Northfield, near Shaker Bridge, N. were burned about nine o'clock Friday night, 17th, with all the contents of barn and out-buildings, including about twenty head of cattle, thirty sheep, ninety tons of hay, farming tools, provisions in the cellar of the house, etc.

The origin of the fire is unknown. Said to be insured for $1200. Ripley Browning's building in Westerly, R. and the buildings on each side of it were burned on Sunday night. The losses amount to about insured.

THE WAR IN CHINA. The rebels in China have gained still another victory, and the condition of the Emperor and the Imperial cause must be critical. Before this defeat he was reported to be considering the propriety of sending to Europe for assistance, and unless he stays the tide of rebel success pretty soon, his government is likely to be overthrown. The Chinese are certainly a persistent people, for this rebellion has been going on for many years, and thousands of lives must have been sacrificed upon either side. In a country so populous as China, the loss of life is less severely felt than it would be in other countries, but no country can be so long engaged in war without suffering severely from it.

The rebels seem recently to have developed unusual strength, for this is the third consecutive victory that has been reported for them, and three decisive victories must go a good way toward settling and ending the contest. MIXTURE OF RACES IN intermixture of races in California, says a correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, is beyond all precedent in the history of mankind, and what the third or fourth generation may be like, or what language they will speak, are questions to puzzle the scientific inquirer. There are marriages between Yankees and Digger Indians, Irish and Chinese, Mexican and Malay, Portuguese and Sandwich Islanders, English Canadian and negro, French and Apache, to say nothing of the more common intermarriages to be seen in all parts of America. The way the English language must suffer in the mouths of the descendants of those oddly-coupled people will be terrible. Even now, the most familiar terms of Spanish have become engrafted on our English, so that they can never be detached again, and words from every language on earth, from Chinese to Kanaka, are working in.

A shoemaker was asked by a customer, "Can you speak English and replied unhesitatingly, "Si, senor; certainment; you bet There were three languages all in one sentence, and the good man straightened himself up, with a look of proud satisfaction at the thought that he could speak English like a native. He was an Italian. AMERICAN ENTERPRISE IN BORNEO. -ACcording to the accounts given of the concessiong made by the Sultan of Borneo to the American Consul, a fine field for American enterprise is opened in that island. The Sultan has granted all the northern part of the Island to him, on condition of an annual payment of $4500.

The country was unprofitable and he wanted money. It is said to contain precious stones, gold, coal, tin, iron, ivory, pearls, camphor, mahogany, india rubber, and valuable woods. There is a river, called the Abai, four miles wide, and fine bays and harbors. The valley of this stream produces cotton, sugar, coffee and spices. The people ure docile and thronged to swear allegiance to swear allegiance to their new Governor.

The American part of the Island is opposite that so long governed by Rajah Brooke, in behalf of England. The Americans at Hong Kong have undertaken the matter as a commercial speculation. Whether they will make it profitable remains to be seen. to the message of Gov. Stone, the retiring Chief Magistrate of Iowa, receipts of the State treasury for the last two years were $1,412,395, and the expenditures $1,314,654, leaving a remainder of $97,740.

Nearly $300,000 of these disbursements were expended under extraordinary appropriations made to the Orphans' Home, Agricultural College, Asylums for the Blind and Insane, and $114,000 in liquidating the bonded debt of 1858. The estimated expenditures for the coming two years are and to this must be added such appropriations as the General Assembly may consider necessary for the public good. The resources for the same period are estimated at $2,175,754. The funded debt of the State amounts to $386,000. There is money enough in the treasury and due from the United States, to liquidate it.

The World Abroad. BY THE CABLE LONDON, Jan. 15. The Levant Herald, published at Constantinople, in a recent issue contained a long and able article in regard to the influence of the United States in the Eastern question. The writer denied that the influence of the United States had been weakened in Turkey by the late exchange of good offices between Russia and America, notwithstanding even the resolution passed by the American Congress expressing sympathy for the Cretans.

The confidence in the allthority of the United States, the Herald continues, was never higher than now. The Fenian officers and men who were arrested on the 31st of December at Merthyr Tydvil, in South Wales, have been examined and committed for trial on a charge of treason.

Almost the entire population was assembled to honor the memory of the archduke, who was greatly beloved by the people of this city. ENGLAND FARMER----AN LONDON, Jan. 16. The aggressive policy of the Russian Government in the Eastern question causes much alarm in Turkey. The Northern Post of St.

Petersburg has a noticeable article on the subject, which declares that Russia does not desire an extension of territory; that her only aim is to secure the safety of her Christian subjects. The St. Petersburg asserts that both England and France have urged the Sultan to make extensive military and naval preparations in the Mediterranean.

In the course of the investigation was ascertained that Barratt had frequently been in company with the well known Fenians Burke and Casey. He narrowly escaped capture when the latter were arrested, having parted from them only a moment before he officers came up with their warrants. The Paris correspondents of the London press say a feeling of uneasiness is perceptible in political and financial circles. Though no one believes that war is threatened from any quarter, still the great activity in the arsenals and dockyards of France, and the pressure brought to bear on the Corps Army bill, are circumstances which contribute to unsettle the felling of security in the public mind and to impair confidence in the stability of peace. Since the abdication of the Tycoon, Stots Bashi, some fears have been entertained that the Japa: nese Government treaties would concluded refuse last to year carry with out the important vices commissioners from Japan announce foreign that powers, the new ruler of of but later adthat country will maintain and enforce the stipulations of the commercial treaties made by his predecessor.

LONDON, Jan. 16. Considerable excitement was occasioned in this city to-day by the announcement that the Fenian, Deasy, who with Kelley was rescued from the custody of the police at Manchester some weeks ago, had been captured. Yesterday afternoon two Americans named Barrett and O'Neill were arrested at Glasgow, and imprisoned. Papers found on their persons indicate beyond a doubt that they belong to the American wing of the Fenian organization.

THE REMAINING TEN MILES WILL be finished as soon 88 the weather permits the road-bed to be sufficiently packed to receive the rails. The work continues to be pushed forward in the rock-cuttings on the western slope with unabated energy, and a much larger force will be employed during the current year than ever before. The prospect that the whole Grand Line to the Pacific WILL BE COMPLETED IN 1870, was never better. The means 80 far provided for construction have proved ample, and there is no lack of funds for the most vigorous prosecution of the enterprise. These means are divided into four classes STATES BONDS, Having thirty years to run, and bearing six per cent.

currency interest, at the rate of $16,000 per mile for 517 miles en the Plains; then at the rate of $48,000 per mile for 150 miles through the Rocky Mountains; then at the rate of $32,000 per mile for the remaining dietance, for which the United States takes a second lien as security. The interest on these Bonds is paid by the United States Government, which also pays the Company one-half the amount of ita bills in money for transporting its freight, troops, mails, The remaining half of these bills is placed to the Company's credit, and forms a sinking fund which may finally discharge the whole amount of this lien. MORTGAGE BONDS. By its charter the Company is permitted to issue its own First Mortgage Bonds to the same amount as the bonds issued by the Government, and no more, and only as the road progresses. The Trustees for the Bondholders, ure the Hon.

E. D. Morgan. U.S. Senator from New York, and the Hon.

Oakes Ames, Member of the U. 8. House of Representatives, who are responsible for the delivery of these Bonds to the Company in accordance with the terms of the law. THE LAND GRANT. The Union Pacific Railroad Company has a land grant or absolute donation from the Government of 12,800 acres to the mile on the line of the road, which will not be worth less than $1.50 per acre, at the lowest valuation.

THE CAPITAL STOCK. The authorized capital of the Union Pacific Railroad Company is $100,000,000, of which $8,500,000 have been paid on the work already done. The Means Sufficient to Build the Road. Contracts for the entire work of building 914 miles first-class railroad west from Gmaha, comprising much of the most difficult mountain work, and embracing every expense except surveying, have been made with responsible parties (who have already finished over 540 miles), at the average rate of sixty-eight thousand and fifty-eight dollars ($68,058) per mile. This price includes all necessary shops for construction and repairs of cars, depots, stations, and all other incidental buildinge, and also locomotives, passenger, baggage and freight cars, and other requisite rolling stock, to an amount that shall not be less than $5000 per mile.

Allowing the cost of the remaining one hundred and eighty-six of the eleven-hundred assumed to be built by the Union Pacific Company to be $90,000 per mile, The Total Cost of Eleven Hundred Miles will be as follows: 914 miles, at $68,058 $82,205,012 or Add discounta on bonda, surveys, 4,500,000 186 miles, at $90,000 16,740,000 of Amount $83,445,012 As the U. 8.

FAt present, the profits of the Company are derived only from its local traffic, but this is already much more than sufficient to pay the interest on all the Bonds the Company can issue, if not another mile were built. It is not doubted that when the road is completed the through traftic of the only line connecting the Atlantic and Pacific States will be large beyond precedent, and 88 there will be no competition, it can always be done at profitable rates. It will be noticed that the Union Pacific Railroad is in fact, a Government Work, built under the supervision of Goverment officers, and to a large extent with Government money, and that its bonds are issued under Government direction.

It is belleved that no similar security is so carefully guarded, and certainly no other is based upon a larger or more valuable property. As the Company's FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS Are offered for the present at 90 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR, they are the cheapest security in the market, being more than 15 per cent. lower than U.S. Stocks. They pay Six per Cent.
