ing to the Chicago Ice -Compaby, and
located at Crystal Lake, on the North
western Railroad, some forty miles north
of this city, were entirely destroyed by
fire. A large quantity of ice was stored
in the buildings. The loss is heavy.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
Mrs. Dr. Sdhrader and her mother, of
Red Rock, Marion-lainnty, lowa, were
both poisoned yesterday by taking a
dose of belladonna, given, to them by a
blundering druggist. Both died in a few
hours.
Col. Henry M'Kenley, formerly a very
wealthy land owner in Minnesota, com
mitted suicide in St. Paul, last evening,
by shooting himself through the head
with a pistol. He had been for some time
laboring under a depression of spirits,
caused by financial reversal; in California
and elsewhere.
The great Turn-fest closed last I night,
so far as the regular programme is con
cerned. This afternoon all joined in an
excursion on the lake. The crowd was a
jolly one. The closing ball at Turner
Halt is now in full blaze. The total re
ceipts during the festival were about
620,000, the expenses *24,800,. leaving a
balance of about $5,000 on the wrong Fide.

fifteen minutes in which to illustrate
their several methods. The Convention
finally decided that all the teachers con
nected with the North American Turner
bond be requested to send a full des
cription of their several methods of in
struction to a committee appointed for
the purpose, and after a careful compari
son and study the committee shall make
a report at the national meeting of turn

We are commanded by the Queen to

you with pleasure that she continues to
receive from foreign powers the strong
est assurances of friendly disposition;
that her con f idence in the preservation

The Queen has a lively satisfaction in
in acknowledging the unerring assiduity
and zeal with which you have prosecu
ted the arduous labors of the year. In
the act for patting an end to,the estab
lishment of the Irish church, you have
carefully kept in view several consider
ations which, at the opening of the -ses
sion, were commended to your notice.
It i s hope of the Queen that this meas
ure may hereafter be remembered as con
clusive proof of the paramount anilety ,
ofParliament to pay reasonable regard in
legislating for each of the three king.
doms. Of the, special circumstances by
which it may be distinguished, - and to
deal on principles of impartial justice
with all interests and all portions of the
nation, the Queen firmly trusts that the
act may promote the work of peace in
Ireland and help to unite all classes of
its peopleln that fraternal concord with
their English and tscocth fellow-sub
jects which must ever' form the chief
source of strength in the extended em.
pine. •
The Qiieen congratulates VOll on having
brought your protracted labors on the
subject of bankruptcy and imprisonment
for debt to a legislative conclusion,
which is regarded with just satisfaction
by the trading classes and the general
public.
The law framed for the better govern

The Queen trusts the measures for
the purchase and management of the

to facilitate the great commercial and
social objects of rapid, easy and certain
communication, and prove no unworthy
sequel to the sjattem of cheap postage,
which has passed with such advantage
into so many countries of the world.
We are commanded to state that the
Queen thanks you for the liberal sup
pitele which you have granted for the
service of the year and for the measure
by whinh you have enabled Her Majesty
to liquidate the charge of the Abysinian
expedition.
The 'Times, in an article on Irish
Church disestablishment, says: "What.
ever Its practicability may- be, the meas
are is the boldest and greatest act of
modern legislation. In consequence of
the measure the authorities of Trinity
College baye withdrawn their opposition
to the proposal for admitting Catholics
and Non-Conformists to rellowship. The
Irish Bishops have shown good sense in
agreeing that the laity as well as clergy
shall concur in the election of priests in
the new church. The extreme Protes
tants have subsided, and the Catholics
accept their triumph with gratitude."
The Oxford crew are at Putney, on a
visit to the Harvards. The latter this

President Grant and the National Re.
publicans of billasitalppl.
WASHINGTON, Augustll.--General
Torbell, Secretary of the Republican Ex
ecutive Committee of Mississippi, had a
lengthy interview with President Grant
at the residence of Seeretary Fish, in
New York, on the 6th instant, relative
to the President's views in reference
to affairs in • the Southern States.
especially Mississippi. In reply to
General Torbell's explanations in re
gard to affairs there and the attempt
to divide the Republican party, the
President remarked at the beginning on
the very small number of Republicans
who were engaged in what is termed the
"National Republican Party." With re
gard to the special business presented
to him by General Torbell, his assu
rances were explicit and direct. The
President said in his judgment the
small number of those who had hither
to acted with the Republican party who
now constituted the so-called National
Republican party' was in itself evidence
that they could be not otherwise than used
by the opposition. With regard to the
recent profession made by those who
were lately rebels. The President was
frank. His only • desire was peace and
amity, and be would do anything right
to bring that about. But thead people
cast suspicions upon their own motives,
by the fact that all their efforts seemed
to be aimed at dividing, not aiding,
the Republican party in their
midst. If they were really in
earnest they would not be anxious
about those with whom they acted. To
sincere men it could not be difficult who
in the south were and had been - admin
istration friends. He 'talked at some
length on the contest in Virginia. He
thought from Gov. Walker's speeches
- since the election that he was fully com
mitted to the administration and was
honestly intending to act .up to
them. Referring to the proposal by Col.
Jenkins to unite the two wings
of the Republican party there,
the President expressed a regret
at the apparent failure to sworn-
OM so desirable an 'object, remarking
that the letter of Dr. Gilmore in reply
showed that the followers of Walker were
not all in good faith. He still hoped,
however. good would come out of Vir
ginia, but did not at present exactly see
...The conversation lasted about an :hour
and a half, and during the whole time

Torbe s explanbur Ida graditude for
•and gratification at the aasnrances given
by the Preelftent, he replied that in his
convertation with the gentlemen repre
senting the new Republican party, in
Mississippi. he had expressed himself
much more emphatically against their
course and (positively po he was noWdoing.
He declared his sympathies
were altogether with the Republicans of
Mississippi and against all efforts
to divide them, coming from whatever
source they might. When it' was aug
gested great good might be accomplished
and much wild speculation set at . rest if
he would take occasion to put the views 1
he had expressed into some form and give 1
them to the public, the President replied
that he much preferred that acts and re
sults should speak for his administration
rather than words. To aquestion whether
his attention had been called to the dis-
patches pretending to give hia views on
Mississippl,,affairs, he replied that it
had, but tilat if he should correct one,
others not denied would be claimed as
admitted, and to correct all would con
same his whole time.
The. President expressed ;thorough en
dorsement of General Ames' administra
tion in 'Mississippi; and in reply to a re•
mark made by Torbell, said General
Ames would have to do much more
serious things than he had heard charged
before ho would subject himself to're-

understand that riotous demomitratione
on either end of the route must cease,
and the question of control be decided 4y

he would be compelled to declare the dis

and run it as a military road., If they
thought such a course advisable for the
stockholders, and that the State should
be put to the expense of a quarter
of a 'million dollars to ~ .e nforce
his proclamation, they might take the
responsibility.. His course, however, was
clear to him and he should pursue It.
Thereupon the counsel Of the respective
parties, consisting of David Dudley
Field, John Ganson and Amos Parker,
representing the Erie interest, and Wm..
F. Allen and Rufus W. Peckham, Jr.,
held a consultation in the Executive
