A Midnight Blaze.

The southern armament was illuminated
at midnight by a blaze which elected a
great deal Of inquiry in Butte. A MINER
representative rode to the Colorado smelter
and discovered that the fire was several
miles further south. Some of the smelter
people stated that in the direction OF the
conflagration the only structure that
would emit such q great glare was a block
of cabins occupied by men employed at the
wood fume, but it was subsequently az.
serted by persons acquainted with the geog
raphy of the country that the burn
ing building might have been the dairy
owned by Joe Saville, who was vic
timized by tire-bugs a few months go. II
is to be hoped that MI. Saville has not q
second time been made q loser by fire. Tht
exact location of last nights blaze will b.
generally known to-day.

The condition of affairs in the Kingdom

The condition of affairs in the Kingdom
of Bavaria are just now in a very mixed
condition. As his conduct for some time
has duly indicated, King Ludwig has lost
his mind and has been finally adjudged by
competent authority insane and incapable
OF governing. The Ministry have delayed
making any move as long as possible, but
the condition of affairs has become so seri-
GUS chat they have appointed a Regent
and summoned the Diet to approve their
act. Thus far all was right, but there
seems to be a method in the madness Of
the old King, for when Count Holstein, the
messenger sent by the Ministry to inform
him of it's acts. the envoy was promptly
imprisoned by order OF the King and is still
held, the guards OF the castle refusing to
obey any orders save those OF the King. 1t
thus would seem that the situation is mixed,
for while the Ministry would not object
to the King remaining a voluntary pris-
oner in his castle for the remainder OF his
days, they cannot permit n OF their mum.
her to share it without his consent. The
outcome OF the contest will be watched
with curiosity by the people OF this coun-
try, who are always keen observers OF any
thing that approaches a political crises,
and has about it the element OF danger and
intrigue. For the King they will feel a SYM
pathy, for the Regency an interest

SILVER, COPPER AND LEAD.
How the Metals Fluctuated IN Price and
Demand Last Week.

Silver for the past week ranged from SO
to 98h cents an ounce.
Copper showed complete lethargy during
the week and sales of a most insignificant
character, scarcely large enough in amount
to fairly establish Il market. The rates OF
the New York market, however, ave been
$1O.12b to $lO.25 for Lake and 49, SO to
$40 for Baltimore and Anchor. Cables
from London quote Chill bars declining
end at $50 los, with best selected at f44.
One OF the English circulars gives an inter
esting table, which goes to show that sup
ply. does not always govern prices, and
makes it more thar probable that an in
creased consumption lat any price below
10 cents New York; is quite as likely to
check the decline in prices as any ~curtail-
ment of production which may be caused
by low prices.
Lead showed no variation whatever dur
ing the week, but tendency and feeling were
rather inclined toward lower prices. The
distribution has been of t he highest char
acter and a not exceeded over 1900
tons at three main points. The St. Louis
market has ruled from $4.55 to $40;
Chicago from $500 to $4.55, with a final
drop to $3.50; and New York has ranged
all the way from $4.75 to $4.65. That we
are no longer entirely dependent on the
foreign market is evidentfrom the fact that
the New York price has gradually declined,
while England has slowly moved up from
f12 5s. to f12 los, which latter figure
makes the cost laid down at New York
$3.50. The shipments OF Richmond lead
from San Francisco have ceased for the
moment and their stock OF lead at New
York is gradually decreasing, so hat in all
probabilities there will be no surplus
stock in the country to fall back on by the
first OF September. There is at present a
small surplus accommodating at some West
ern furnaces, but the return OF the demand
to it's nominal proportions will 500 sweep
out OF sight whatever stocks there are, a:d
brokers are still confident.in making state
ments to miners that there will be no long
period Of low prices at any time this year.

lished this morning reviews the rumor Of
the proposed sale Of the Hawaiian Islands
to a syndicnte Of European capitalists Tor
SIC, 600. A bill was recently intro
duced by the Hawaiian Government au
thorizing the loan OF $4,000, 900: 1t Is
stated that a number OF native legislators
are ready with an amendment making the
amount $40, 900, 900. Mr.. Hoffaman,
agent for the immigration OF Portuguese to
the islands, has assured the King that the
syndicate OF European capitalists is ready
to furnish the money. If this were con-
summated it will virtually mean the sale
of the islands, as the amount could never
be repaid by the Hawaiian Government.

MORRISON, of Illinois, and Holman, Of
Indiana. had a tilt in the House yesterday
over the question Of economy. This is a
hobby of Mr.. Holman's, and like all men
with a hobby be is disposed to press it too
far. Reducing the salary of a clerk or legis-
lating men out OF Office, who are needed tor
the proper conduct of business. is in no
sense OF the word economy, yet that is the
Holman idea, So long as he can make a
little capital by objecting to a small APP.
preparation he is happy, for he has not
breadth enough to fight a large one. 1t
ia strange that he has not been
set down on by the House long ago for
during his service in that body he has ever
been a chronic and unreasonable obiector.
Legitimately he is no more careful OF the
public money thar Mr.. Randall, Mr.. Nor
rison or a score OF other members, but
they have a very different idea OF where
the leaks should be stopped. 1t is a TACT
that each session for years has in it's strain
failed to appropriate amounts for the sew
eral departments, and as a consequence it's
successor has been called upon to supply a
deficiency. There is no reason for this
save the persistent interference OF men like
Holman, who weary members into adopt
ing their views in order to save time. The
practice is a nuisance and should be
stopped.

The reports from Belfast are anything
but reassuring, and are painful in the ex-
IRENE to the friends and well-wishers OF
Ireland. It is hard to imagine why, Just at
this juncture when there was SO absolute a
need OF unity OF action bet ween the sects and
sections OF the island, that SO formidable
an emuete should have broken out. That
it is sanctioned by a majority OF Orange
men cannot be possible. Protestant Par
nell has led the battle closely followed by
lieutenants OF the same faith, all animated
with the common belief that in the event
of success, their every civil and religious
right would be heartily guaranteed by the
majority. The intensity OF the N~ationalism
of the average Irishman is only surpassed
by the recklessness with which he will fight
for his faith, and this latter sentimenttound
full expression among the hot heads OF
Belfast who begun the riots. However,
nothing less was to have been expected
from men OF that class when so eminent a
divine az Mr.. Spurgeon famed the flames
by declaring that it was the intention OF
the Home Rulers to make the Roman
Catholic the established church OF Ireland.
Against such a proposition every leader OF
the movement was pledged in advance, and
the statement OF Mr.. Spurgeon was conse-
quently as unkind as it was uncnristian.
What effect the riots will have on the
cause remains to be seen, but the one fact
remains that for it the intensely English,
Irishman and his English allies are solely
r, snonsihle.

about thirty-eight million Of souls, have
$40, 900, 900 OF silver and at a legal tender
valuation coined at which the 412A grains
in our standard dollar would be worth
over 103 cents! Instead OF being expatri.
ated from France since the depreciation
OF silver began in 1873, by the possession
of so much silver, gold has been steadily
attracted to that country since the first Of
January, 1874, to such extent that the
imports Of the metal by that people have
exceeded the exports no less than $272,'
OOO, 600, while for the same time Great
Britain, with her gold mono-metallie
system, has not gained So, 900, OO0.
But for the conclusive proof that the
effect OF the concurrent circulation of silver
with gold has not been that Of expelling and
expatriating gold from the countries which
so use the two metals, we have only tc
look at the history Of the coinage Of gold
during the ten years ended with 1884
That history discloses the fact that
out of the aggregated gold coin
age for the decade OF $1,000, Asst ,037, ex
elusive OF Germany, no less than $1,12O,
513,466, or nearly 20 per cent, was the
coinage OF those States using the two met
ais concurrently, and that, including Ger
many. in which, Assuredly, silver c~irculatef
concurrently with gold to a large amount
more than 81 Fer cent. of the whole golc
coinage of the commercial world for thu
last ten years has been made at the minis
NJ the countries in which the two metals
circulates ~reciprocally. Thus, also, it will
be seen that, while bi-metallic France

coinage of mono-metallic Great Britain die
not exceed SIT, 7O0,3 1878 for a population
