WASHINGTON, Oct. 25.-Members of the
Iron and Steel Institute who have been on a
tour through the South began to arrive in
Washington last night, and came in large
numbers this morning. They were taken in
charge by a committee. They were first
taken to the hotels, and alter short rest
were escorted to the Patent Office, where
they evinced much interest in the details of
the American patent system. They then
visited the P0stoffice Department, and called
on the Postmaster General. The programme
for the day included visits TO other eXecu-
tive departments, a reception at the White
House and q promenade con cert at the Ar
lingtOn Hotel.
All of the visitors were enthusiastic over
the success of their tour. They were
unanimous in their praise Of the country
and people. President Harrison gave the
visitors u special reception at the White
House in the afternoon At o'clock the
lower portion of the house with the eXcep-
tisn OF the Blue parlor, now under repair,
was thrown open for their inspection, and
the beautiful East room, where the recep
tion took place, was tastafnlly decorated
with po,ted plants. As q special cOmpli-
ment the Marine Band was present and
played selections of English, German and
American airs. The receiving party con-
sisted of the President and Mrs. Harrison,
Secretary and Mrs. Noble. Attorney-Gen-
eral and Mrs. Miller, Secretary and Mrs.
Window, Secretary and Mrs. Rusk, Secre-
tary Proctor and Mrs. DimnIick. They
were accompanied by Assistant Secretary
Adee of the State Department and Colonel
Ernst of the army, who assisted in making
the presentations. Owing to the fact that
the executive mansion is still in the hands
of decorators and refurnishers, thus render
ing many OF the rooms unavailable, the re-
ception was necessarily informal and con-

New YORK, Oct 25.-Various opinions
are expressed editOrially concerning the
slump in the price Of silver. The Mail and
Express says: We have no fear Of the silver
problem. 1t will work itself out after fair
trial and no one can complain that the
Treasury is not allowing that
The World says: There has been a
steady selling of silver bullion during
the last few days, and the general
understanding has been that silver
spectators were unloading. Spectators
have sustained heavy losses. 1t is estimated
that the accumulated bullion in New York
alone amounts to 100000 ounces. Most OF
the silver was accumulated by pools, which
were made up with the expectation that
silver would go to 1929, thus putting it On
par with gold. The average cost was.
ST 12R, and the ac unuiation in New York
shows, at present price, loss of 500, 600 to
holders, in addition to the expense for stor-
age and interest on the money Invested.
The Evening Sun says: Other countries
have shown disposition to leave silver
alone and let us fight the battle unaided.
The demand from India has lessened for
number of reasons The rise in value has
reduced the amount necessary for the trans
action OF business, one rupee now doing
more work as medium of exchange than it
did when silver was cheaper. The crops OF
India are not large this srason, the indigo
crop especially having Suffered. This lessons
the amount needed to be sent to India in eX-
change for comm odities purchased.
A special CORRESPONDENT of the Mail and
Express from st. Petersburg says that our
silver law has raised the price OF silver in
the Cars dominioHs, but the Russian silver
mines are not in position to take the pres
ent advantage of the situation. Most of the
mines belong to the Imperial Cabinet and to
private individuals. The State possesses
only one small plant. The Government has
ordered that the silver and lead mines in
the Yakou;sk territory be worked. The I'M
perial Cabinet possesses the most consider
able silver mines, those Of Nertchinsk and
of Alta. These last were supposed in the
second half Of tho last century to be rich,
but since then circumstances have changed.
The best mines are very far from coal pits,
and in order to render them productive it
would be necessary to build raile ays and to
interest private capital, inasmuch as it con-
Germs a territory as big as France. The
Polish silver mines are nearly exhausted.

FIRE ON GOAT ISLAND.

Hard Work by the Firemen of the Gov
ernor Irwin.
Shortly after o'clock yesterday fire
broke out in the brush on Goat Island, pre-
sumably from spark from a passing
steamer. The fire started at the southern
end Of the island, to the westward of the
lighthouse station, and spread westward
with lightning like rapidty. There are
eleven men on the island all told, and they
turned out and took steps to prevent the fire
from reaching the dwellings and the store
houses and powder magazine.
At o'clock in the afternoon, and seeing
that the fire was still burning and also gain
ing, Foreman Gardiner of Hose Company
No. 9, attached to the firebcat Governor
Irwin, ordered his men on board and
went over to the island. The boat
made fast to the only pier there, and
then the men hauled their hose, 1000 feet in
length from the boat over the rough stones
to the top of the hill 1t was too short, and
geo feet more that happened to be in the
stOre-hOuse was attached to 1t. Then the
whole ground surrounding the magazine and
store-house was thoroughly drenched, so
that there could be no danger Of ire to the
buildings.
The boat returned to the city at 10 O'Clock
with her crew thoroughly tired out, but at
II o'clock the fire was still burning brightly,
and famed by light breeze was spreading
to the northward on the western side down
big ravine, making pretty sight for the
passengers on passing ferry-boats.

LONDON. Oct. 25.-In an address at Dal-
keith tonight in referring to Scottish home
rule government. Gladstone said he believed
whatever Scotland deliberately asked would
be found to be consistent with the unity of
the empire and would obtain the assent of
Parliament. Touching on the matter Of
Scotch crofters, Gladstone deprecated the
idea Of emigration as remedy for distress.
With reference to the disestablishment of
the Scottish Church, Gladstone said it would
be an enormous advantage TO Scotland and
to the cause of religion if the three Presby-
terian Churches were united. This step,
however, he did not deem advisable at pres
ent, for in the approaching general elections
the dlsestablishment Of the church would
be made test question TO the exclusion of
all others demanding adjustment by Parlia-
