Topeka, May a. The prohibition
leaders here are delighted at the result
Of the supreme court decision In the
Rohrer case. County Attorney Welch,
who had dropped his prosecutions Of
the men charged with continuing TO
sell liquor after the passage Of the VIII
son bill, will now continue and the war
will be waged with enthusiasm and de-
tel mination.
1t is difficult to tell the political ef-
feet OF the decision. Secretary OF State
Higgins said this morning that he
hoped the question would now be taken
out OF politics. 1T is no longer p0-
litical question" said he, land the de-
cision OF the highest tribunal In the
land settles the matter so far as the ap-
preaching campaign Is concerned"
Many OF the democratic and republican
leaders have become sick and tired OF q
campaign over local issue and since
the peoples party has ignored the
question altogether, it will give 1t q
distinct advantage in the approaching
campaign, II the old parties divide on
the liquor problem.

THE report that the CHILEAN ironciad
Blanco, was blown up and sunk by a
torpedo launched against her from
another vessel is confirmed, and its
confirmation will carry thrill OF ap'
prehension into every navy department
In Europe and America. Its effect will
probably be to cause discontinuance OF
the building Of the cumbrous naval
monsters on which hundreds Of millions
have been expended in recent years by
Great Britain, France, Germany and
Italy, just as the sinking of the Cumber'

THERE is no alarming prospect that
flour will be excessively dear in this
country during the next year. Should
the coming harvest be good one, OF
which there is every Indication, mod
crate prices will rule. Exports are not
coming up to expectations, and the
belief is that the country will have a
surplus to carry over July of twenty
million bushels. This is twice the
amount carried over in July in 1882,
when at the beginning OF that month,
was the greatest known exhaustion.

The Premium on American Gold Reduced

NEW YORK, May 81 NC OSO boy o.
About II o'clock it was reported, and Is
undoubtedly true, that the bank OF En-
gland had reduced its premium on
American gold eagles One-half penny
per ounce. AS for the Bank OF En-
GLAND. there Is no reason for continu
ance Of charging premium for gold, as
it has already largely reinforced Its
specie reserve, 49,, 900 pounds being re-
ported as having gone into the bank IN
bullion to-day. All things considered,
the exports OF s5,OO0,0OO gold from this
country have put the Bank OF England:
in a position where it will be able to Of
ford relief to others instead OF purchas
ing the whole money market in order u
maintain its own position. The whole
financial condition OF Europe Is still
very satisfactory, but as far as this
country is concerned, Europe can mo-
draw any more cash out OF us than we
owe, no matter how badly they might
want 1t or how much premium they
may be willing to pay for gold.

SAN RAFAEL, July 1.-Early last even
ing it was thought that the fire on Mount
Tamalpais was in a fair way to be con-
1uered before morning, but early this
morning a breeze came up, and in few
minutes the fire burst ont in uncon-
-rollable fury. 1t is said that fully 500
men are at work between Bolinas Ridge
and Mill valley fighting the flames.
Last evening crew of twenty-three
men from the North Pacific Coast Rail
road force went to the summit of the hills
pack of Mill Valley and started to back
ire the brush in that section. They were
successful in turning the fire, which soon
spread toward the ocean. enveloping the
redwood forest at Big Lagoon, on the
coast road to Bolinas.
Another gang of men worked all night
back Of the residence of A. E. Kent, at
Iamalpais. Several times the residence
was IN great danger, the heat being so
great that three of the men were over
come and had to be carried to Mr.. Kents
residence.
This morning the fire had crossed the
ridge west of the Kent property, and was
swiftly travelling toward Corte de MADEIRA.
A force Of men were quickly transferred
% that point, and they worked like
beavers, succeeding in back firing the
thaparral and leaving nothing but
Smolderlng stumps at that place.
About o'clock this afternoon word
was received here that the Kent residence
vas again in danger. This was thought
improbable, but at 5 o'clock mounted
messengers were securing the town in
search Of men to go to kent's, and on in
JURY by telephone it was found that the
report was true, and that the Kent resi-
ience was in greater danger than last
evening.
This morning the trees and underbrush
lad again started, and, owing to a stiff
gIreeze which sprung up this afternoon,
