Whitelaw Reeds Magnificent Residence
Burned Heavy Loss.
WHITE PLAINS, n. ", July l6.-Fire
broke out in the old Ben Holiday stone
mansion. on the Ophyr farm. about three
miles from this place, now owned by
Whitelaw Reid, OF the Tribune. The build
ing was one Of the famous landmarks in
Westchester County, having been stand
ing for over 2U years. Last year Nr.
Reid purchased the place from the
estate Of John Roche, and commenced
the refitting Of the interior o a
magnificent scale. The dining room, J0x23
fees, was he'd in bard wood with heavy
carving over the doors Of clusters n fruits
and various kinds Of game. The frescoinS
Of the fourteen rooms OF the first iOor
were magnificent. There were in all fifty-
four large rooms i'm the castle, which were
all finished. The origin Of the fire is not
definitely known, but it is q detective fiue
or the presence OF the electric light wires.
The loss on the building will reach nearly
$OO,OOO. Insured for about two-thirds Of
that amount. The question Of rebuilding
the castle will be determined in the future,
after the condition Of the walls, which arc
still standing, have been examined.

PROF. POWELL. of the Geological
Survey. recently made an argument,
two hours in length. before the Senate
Committee o. Appropriations in the
matter Of the proposition to develop
the arid land regions. Prof. Powell is
very enthusiastic in the belief that his
views rs to the irrigation of this vast
region. by establishing reservoirs in
the Rocky mountains for the supply of
water. is entirely practicable. The
committee was very much interested
in the subject. and it is possible that a
considerable appropriation will be
made to enable a test to be made of the
~practicability Of the undertaking.

comparative quiet about the Harrison resi-
dence yesterday, which continued un'.f
nine O'Clock at night, when . large del~sa-
ton Of railroad men, led by A. ID. Shaw,
yardmaster Of the Bee Line, made u call.
The delegation numbered nearly 800. They
were headed by a band Of music. and u
feature of the procession was a wagon
profusely decorated and bearing several
locomotive headlights. Mr.. Shaw adj
dressed General Harrison in q brief speech,
and in response the latter said:
Gentlemen: Your visit is very gratify-
ing to me and is full Of significance and
interest. II I read Alright the language of
your lanterns, you have signalled the Re-
publican train to go ahead. lApplause.and
cries Of "And b is going, tool You

and the call has been answered, as your
presence here tonight demonstrates.
tCheers.I HerOism has been found at the
throttle and the brake, as well as on the
battle field, and as well worthy of song
n marble. The train man crushed be-
tween the platforms, who used his last
breath, not for a message of love, but to
say to the panic-stricken who gathered
around him, "Put out the red light for the

The Sugar Trust.

SAN Francisco, July D.-When Claus
Spreckles announced that he would fight
the great sugar trust single handed every
one prophesied that he would come to grief
in spite Of his millions. Now the first VIC
tory for Spreckles in the fight must be re-
corded. When the trust was formed
a fev months ago the officers began
not only. to corner refined sugars,
but 10 include in the squeeze the raw pro-
duct. They Of course pinched the pro-
Queer as well as the consumer. The result
Of this was that they doomed the raw arti-
Gle, but caused hand-tO-mouth buying Of
the refined product. Claus Spreckles saw
through this little game, and quietly cap
italizing his resources bought all the raw
sugar he could secure. Now the refners
find that they have largely Oversold re-
sugars: that the raw product is be-
yOnd their reach and they are obliged to
send 70 Europe for nv material.

-PresideRt.
ments are institutions among men. This funda-
mental principle has ben Subverted. and in
lieu OF 1t we have u government OF the capital
class. now merged INTO a mOneyed aristOc-
racy. . &
There is something wrong and we all know
1t. We have tried u change of administration
from one Old party to another. but it gave the
people no relief. We are even worse of now
than when the change was made. Still in
terest. taxes. high rates for transportation
and other combinations take nearly al. we
annually produce and leave but little on which
to live and less to pay debts. A govern
ment that does not hid its Industrial and work
ing people to pay their debts is not q
government Il the people and is unworthy Of
their support A government that has by its
policy tolerated monOpclies, greedy eombina-
tions and trusts and has not protected the peO-
pie against their spOliatiOns. is unworthy the
support Of its working people. Unfortunately,
these unholy m~OnOpolies. combinations and
trusts have increased in numbers and power and
strength from one administration to another. un-
I'll they think they have the power to control the
Government and the peoples until they have
forced upon the country another irrepressible
eonflict-a conflict involving the prosperity and
happiness Of 60.0OayS0D people. 1t is an ire
pressible conflict th,t will determine whether

who inhabit 1t. The other irrepressible con-
fict involved the liberty Of 80 O.'N0
people, but this one involves tie
right and liberty Of 6a.OW.OO people to
the enjoyment of the fruits Of their labor. To
settle the slavery conflict il cost the Govern
ment a deal OF money, Of life and Of sorrow.
and it is to be hoped that this conflict may be
settled peaceably at the ballot box and by the
restoration Of the government of the people to
whom it belongs. But settled II will be, and
let US hope without seas Of fire and rivers of
blood.
Hence, il Is the part Of wise craftsmanship
to look this growing conflict square in the face.
and to make such changes in the law and the
administration Of the same as will restore
and prosperity TO the people.
Such is the object and intent Of the
Union Labor party, II either Old party had
relief then there would be no necessity
for the Union Lsbor'party. But both have been
ard both have failed. We see people |
leaving their old parties every day going to
new organization. anu these changes are !
u vigorous protest against the wrong doing Of
the old parties. Some are still saying: Let us
reform within our old party" but that is a hope
task. For history has no record OF q politi- !
cal party that ever reformed within itself. IL
