An official estimate gives the number of lives lost in the Martinique hurricane as' 378, and puts the loss cf property at £2,0U0,000.
Chancillor Von Caprini has introduced a Bill in the Eeichstag, to suppress drunkenness. It provides that all inebriates who are reducing their families to indigence, or endangering the safety of other people, shall be placed under guardianship. The Emperor assisted in drafting the Bill. The Standard asserts that the Sultan of Turkey has yielded to the demand of the Czar, and pays an indemnity for stopping Russian vessels going through the Dardanelles and that henceforth the Dardanelles is to be open to Eussian vessels, and closed against those of other nations. The Eussian naval authorities are adopting the Cana gun for their ships. Serious riots are taking place in South Eussia, and the agitation is spreading. Several grain firms have become bankrupt. The French Government has granted a sum of a million francs £40,000 to the Martinique authorities, a famine being feared in the island. Admiral Gervais has sent in his report upon the reception of the fleet in England, couched in enthusiastic terms.
