Of the silver bill becoming ! law. The
directors Of minis have been engaged
several days making the necessary ar
engagements for running the mints to
their fully capacity on the new silver
dollar in connection with which
gold only will for some time be coined.
1t is probable a supply of working dies
Will be ready in about ten days, and in
the meantime silver bullion will pass
through all the process of put
ting it into shape for coming
into dollars, except ttat of
stamping and for which particular
operation. the capacity of the mint is
IN excess of the other operations, so
that in reality but little DELAY in coin
age will be occasioned by the dies not
now being ready. 1t is thought by the
middle Of April the coinage of the
silver dollar will be at the rate of three
millions five hundred thousand per
month. The supply of fractional sill
yer coined at the minis and different
treasury Offices, is sufficient to meet any
demand likely to arise for several
months to come. The minis are all in
excellent condition with n skilled force
of workmen, and every thing in shape
to meet the large amount of coinage
devolved upon them by the new law.
THE SILVER BILL
was to-day sent to the department of
state by the speaker OF the house of
representatives, with endorsements of
the clerk Of the house and secretary of
the senate to the effect that the bill had
passed notwithstanding the veto of
the president.
THE BILL 10 AUTHORIZE THE ISSUE OF rOs,-
tai SAVINGS BONDS
and for other purposes, introduced by
Representative Phillips. has received
the approval Of II majority of the house
banking and currency committee, and
will be finally acted on by the commit
tee next Tuesday. A prominent mem
her says the report in favor Of its pas
sage will be nearly unanimous.

A HOT SPRINGS HOLOCAUST.

HOT SPRINGS HOLOCAUST.
An associated press dispatch under
date Of March 9TH. says that about 100
o'clock this morning a fire broke out
in a house shortly occupied by negro
named Green Lee. The fire commu-
nicated to the French restaurant then
north and south on both sides of the
street. All the buildings are burned
north of Rock e. Fellows drug store and
south below Malvern crossing. About
$50 buildings were destroyed and an
immense stock of goods. AS there is
but one street in the valley the steamer
was cut off and could afford no
relief to the lower end of
the town until the flames had been
checked above them. The horses, fire.
men and engine dashed through the
flames to the Sumpter House and came
around the avenue and Quinn Hill, and
are now at 8 o'clock P. NJ, fighting the
fire at the south end of the town.
Among the buildings destroyed are the
Hot Springs, American and Earl hotels,
the French restaurant, Valley and State
banks, postofiice, daily Sentinel Office,
Hoffman & Hamilton's bath house,
Jones Bros. e. Co., Little & julius,
Moore & Co.'S livery stable, Kimball
& Co., Knights Pythias Hall, Browne
& Co., Karatousky. Western Union
telegraph Office, Blake & Co., jewellers,
MANAGES bath house. 1t is impossible
at this late hour to estimate the loss, but
it will he 2 or 8 hundred thousand dol
lars. The mountains are covered with
people who were driven from shelter
and with goods which was carried from
stores. No lives lost. Very little in
surance. During the excitement the
Daily Telegraph office were maliciously
damaged. The Western Union tele-
graph Office has been re-opened and
business is being carried on without in
terruption.

Mr. Marooney is foreman in foundry
and gets thirty dollars u week. With
this salary the family ought to get along
well and save money, but they do not.
MIR. Marooney has a cousin, II shoe
maker, who gets only fifteen dollars
week, yet who sails right along in Ii, ht-
ming express, while Marooney comes
tagging along in freight with hot

a" How do you manage il, jack" he
would frequently ask, ito get along tho
way you do? Here you actually keep
your family and save money on fifteen
dollars " week, while it takes every

"Oh, l Cont manage it ut ALL says
Jack, 81 Just take my money home to
the old woman on Saturday night, and
she takes her five dollars to run the
house with and puts the rest carefully
away"
DO you give her all the money!

for tobacco during the week, AVID u
trihe to keep me from feeling lonesome.
If | kept i all in my pocket ! would
spend it sure, but Mary keeps it tight
and safe"
Mr.. Marooney talked it over with his
wife that night, and they concluded to
try Jacks plan. The following Saturday
night he brought home his thirty dol
lars, and keeping back one put the rest
in her keeping, and she promised to
do her level best to set the table on but
five.
The first week she squeezed through
somehow, and got along with six and
half Mr.. MarooHey was quite pleased,
and began laying awake at night think
ing about what kind of house he would
build. He thought plain rustic cot
tage with u oay window would be about
right.
The next week her expenses account
only footed up five dollars and eighty
cents, and Maroonev changed his de-
sign for IL future residence from frame
To brick.
The next week she brought j. down
thirty cents more, and he added wing
with wash-house. Then she made
superhuman struggle, quit buying milk,
and came within two shillings Of the
goal for which sho had been striving.
Mr.. Marooney decided on an iron fence
in front of his premises.
The next week she lost ground, slip
ped, and came out at the ix-dOllar post.
Mr.. Marooney thought q neat FAILING
fence was good enough for anybody,
but when the ensuing week ehe came
in with flying colors and struck the five
dollar mark in both eyes. Mr.. Marooney
had the iron railing re-instatcd and
granite steps running up to the door.
The next week she took the money
she had saved, went and bought her
love Of hat. too cute for anything,
black silk dress. and cherub Of
cloak, that made the woman next door
cry with envy till her nose got sore, and
MIR. Marooney came to the conclusion
that it didn't pay to live in ones own
property, keeping up repairs, insurance
etc, and the worry and stew in dread
of fire and earthquakes more than
counlerbalanced any triillng advantages
there might be.-Cincinndh BredEfdst

PUBLICATION or rHE TREATY.
A st. Petersburg correspondent tele-
graphs under date of March 9Th that
the treaty will probably not be published
until the text is received by courier, a
week or ten days hence.
GERMANy's ADVICE TO ENGLAND.
A Paris correspondent says it is as
serted that Germany is trying to ad-
wise England TO occupy Egypt, and thus
protect her interests in way which
could not cause conflict with Russia.
THE LIBERAL TERMS.
The Agenee RaSe says some days must
elapse before the treaty can reach st.
Petersburg and authentic conditions be
published. The Agence declares that
these will show that the indemnity has
been reduced to almost nothing, and
that the question of guarantee has not
been touched.
NlCK'S CONGRATULATIONS.
Grand Duke Nicholas sent the fol-
lowing dispatch to the Emperor:
SAN STEFANO, March 4.
do myself the honor of congratu-
lating your majesty, upon the conclu-
sion Of peace. God has vouchsafed to
us the happiness of accomplishing the
holy work begun by your majesty and
on the anniversary of the imprisOn-
ment of the Serfs. Your majesty has
delivered the christians from the Mus
sulman's yoke.
EXCITED AUSTRIA.
Specials from Vienna under date of
March 4th assert that two divisions of
Austrian soldiers will enter Bosnia with
in a week. The communication which
so treasured Austria last week was to
the effect that Russia admitted that the
peace conditions had been aggravated
at the headquarters Of the Grand Duke
Nicholas, but she promised notable
modification at conference. Austria
will not occupy Bosnia and Herzegovi-
ma if the conditions are abandoned by
which those provinces are cut of from
communication with the rest of Tur-
key. Even if the conditions are main
tanned, Austria would only resort to an
nexation at the suggestion of the pow
ers ut the conference.
THAT TREATY OF PEACE.
Constantinople advices of the 4th inst.
state that the treaty of peace had been
signed. No official FORMULATION Of
the text has yet been given, but there
is excellent authority for stating that
there are no clauses regarding the sur
render of the Turkish feet, or tho en-
ployment of the Egyptian tribute, and
that the indemnity demanded is very
much less than hitherto reported.
THE VOTE OF CREDIT.
Count Andrassy has determined to
persist with the vote of credit, although
assured by the spokesman Of the Aus
trian delegation that it would only pass
by small majority. The opponents
of the vote of credit seem disposed to
appeal to the reichstag if defeated in
the delegation, but as the question can
only be brought on when money is &C
tually wanted by the government, they
will doubtless be able to justify their
demand even to their adversaries.
THE WORST FEATURES,
so far as known, are the extended ces-
sion CT Asiatic territory 1t is under
stood that Salonsica is not included in
New Bulgaria.

the village of Mount Olive several
houses were swept away and the re-
mainder otherwise injured. Fences
were were blown away along the whole
course OF the tornado, posts and rail
fence being drawn out and torn into
splinters and utterly destroyed; large
trees were twisted from their roots and
carried hundreds Of yards. A consid-
cradle number of horses, cattle and

in its course were killed. The probable
damage is not less than $4,000.
MAINE ELECTIONS.
A Portland, Me-, associated press tel
egram ofthe 9Th inst says Butler, repub-
lican was elected mayor, having 2,516
votes. to 1904 for Weeks, democratic,
and 14O for Turner, greenbacker. The
republicans have a majority in both

choice for mayor. The vote stood

democrats elect 5 Of z aldermen.
PEACE FOR CUBA.
Havana advices under date of March
5th says that proclamation dated
Puerto Principe, March LIST, signed by
Captain-General Jovellar and General
Martinez Compos, says:
Whereas, the insurgents are surren-
dering their arms; and whereas, the
majority of slaves who took part in the
instruction did not figure in the census
formed in the year 1870, or belonged to
masters who participated directly or in
directly in the instruction, thereby
acquiring their liberty defacto; and
whereas, the sentiment is taken into ac-
count which inspired the present law of
gradual emancipation of slaves in this
island: therefore, authorized by the
home government, we proclaim;
Article /. All slaves of both sexes
who were in the lines of the insurgents
on the 10th o! February, will be free if
they present themselves to the legti-
mate authorities or government
troops before the last day of March
Article 2. The former owners of the
freedmen have no right to Indemnity
if they took part in the instruction
themselves directly or indirectly.
Article 3. Those former owners of
those freedmen who remained faithful
to the Spanish government will receive
indemnity in the manner in which the
gradual abolition prescribes.
Article 4. All local authorities will
furnish papers Of free citizenship to
these slaves included in article /, giving
direct and detailed accounts to heads of
their respective departments.

OUT OF CASH.
Washi. xton kilograms of the End
inst. state that the following
circular letter WAS sent by Com
missioner Williamson, Of the general
land office, to-day, to 50 of the en-
ployes of that bureau, including 20
ladies': Want Of appropriation to pay
for necessary clerical force has forced
upon the honorable secretary of the in
terror the alternative of dismissing or
granting leave of absence, without pay,
to very large percentage of the force
Of the office till such time as it may
please congress to make such appro-
priation as will enable him to again
avail the government of your services.
The option of saying whether you will
accept leave of absence without pay, or
be discharged is unfortunately the only
one that can be offered. Those of you
who accept leave will be required to
state in letter to the commissioner
that you relinquish all claim for pay
during such leave. 1t deeply grieves
the honorable secretary of the interior
and myself to take action imperatively
demanded OF us under existing laws,
but it can no longer be avoided.
