The Queen's Visit to Ireland. ; London, April 27. The Queen, whose visit to Ireland terminated to-day, addressed a farewell message to the Irißh people prior to her departure. She expressed herself U much gratified and deeply touched with the reception accorded her, and, in return, her wish for all was that goodwill, harmony, and prosperity might prevail. Her Majesty left £1,000 for distribution among the Dublin poor. The Queen oonferred baronetcies upon the Lord Mayors of Dublin and Belfast, and knighthoods upon the Mayors of Cork and Londonderry. In addition, the mayoralty of Cork has been raised, to ft Lord Mayoralty. Great Fire in Ottawa. Ottawa, April 27. A diaaatroua fire has occurred here, and is still raging furiously. The outbreak originated in some lumber and flour mills at Hull, on the banks of the Ottawa, opposite the capital. - The flames crossed the river, despite every effort, and a great portion of tha city has been destroyed, including the electric lighting plant. Two thousand persons have been rendered homeless, while the destruction of the lighting plant has left the city In darkness. The outbreak-is attributed to Fenians, acting in sympathy with Boers. l Three simultaneous outbreaks occurred, with the result that the local fire brigades are utterly incompetent to cope effectively with the flames. It i's estimated that the losses already incurred range from 10 to 12 million dollars. Sevaral fatalities are recorded. Both the Canadian Houses of Parliament have adjourned their sittings until Tuesday, owing to the destruction of the municipal electric lighting plant. Firemen have been summoned from Montreal, Toronto, and elsewhere, and the Canadian militia have been called out to assist in fighting the flames and protecting public and private property. The fire is now stated to have been caused accidentally. It broke out at 11 in the morning in a wooden house in the lumber district. A hurricane was blowing at the time, and carried embers southwards and across the river, occasioning various outbreaks. The suspension bridge was soon ablaze, cutting off the Ottawa firemen's retreat, and two engines had to be abandoned. ' Millions of feet of timber were blazing at Ottawa, and the heat repelled the brigades. At 1 o'clock M'Hay's flour mill, electric power, and other works, and tha woollen factories were burned. Then tha fire swept away the railway depots and three hotels. At 5 o'clock the deßtruc tion of the industrial portion of the city was complete. The militia, acting as a bucket brigade, poured water on the east side of Division street, and succeeded in stopping the farther progress of the fire. At midnight the wind abated, and the SometlmeT*a Q mass of fla m9 s two miles long by thnw^-^^^ j, ™«» accompanied by billows of black smoJce, burst upwards. The Cathedral escaped destruction. Scores of buildings fell in ruins. The loss is estimated at a million pounds. In Western Ottawa, Including the Canadian-Pacific Company's entire property, 2,000 dwellings, and several mansions, the loss is a million and a-half . Fifteen thousand persons are homeless in both cities. They are already being fed and sheltered. The fine square for miles was burnt. There was a splendid response of firemen of other citieß, and a spontaneous despatch of trainloads of supplies. In one case where the firemen's escape from a burning building was intercepted, Lord Minto, Governor-general, shouted to a man to jump into the river. The man did so, and Lord Minto, grasping him when he rose to the surface, effected his rescue. Subscriptions have poured in in a remarkable manner from different parts of America and Canada. The Dominion subscribed 100,000dol for the sufferers, while the province donated 25,000d01, and the banks, firms and citizans 75,000 dol. A total of 600,000d0l will be required to relieve the necessitous. The Ottawa newspapers collected £10,000 and Lord Minto gave £1,000. Great Britain proffered help, and tha Stock Exchange is foremost in the work, which has touched, the Canadians. English firms cabled thousands of pounds. The British Press urge that a public subscription be started for the relief of the sufferers. Australian Federation. London, April 28. The City Liberal Club banqueted the delegates and the Agents-general. Lord Rosebery, who presided, remarked that the appeal controversies would be likely to secure a more perfect and splendid Imperial tribunal. He was glad to notice that, though'Auatralia was , unanimous in the intention to become a nation, that waa not for purposes of independence, but to strengthen the Empire. Mr Kingston said the delegates were able to justify every line of the Bill. The Motherland would be able to concede everything with the. most perfect safety to the Empire. Sir Philip Fysh deprecated jettisoning the appeal clause. Sir Julian Salomons strongly protested against restricted appeals. Chief Justice Darling, of Sydney, had implored him to protest publicly, and use all his influence to maintain the right of appeal intact. The highest Australian judges, banks, and insurance and navigation companies were opposed to the change, which was | also inimioal to British investors in the colonies. Mr W. P, Reeves said the reformed appellate tribunal would result in a friendly arrangement and prove the pivot of the Empire. "The Times" states capital would flow much less freely to Australia if there was no final Imperial appeal. The delegates regret the opposition of Chief Justices Way and Darley to the complete acceptance of the referendum mandate. The delegates presented Mr Chamberlain with a second memorandum strongly deprecating any amendment. Mr Dickson wrote to his colleagues dej dining to Bign the 'memorandum on the ground that further controversy would militate against the speedy passage of the Bill. They replied that his instructions were directed to urging no amendment.
