FIRE.
The Assay Omcs at the New we,Ls
Destroyed.

Tuesday morning at one O'Clock a fir,
alarm sounded by the smelter whistle
and the town bell brought out the Don.
ulace on the double quick to find the sur.
rounding country illuminated by large
nre at the smelter grounds north Of town
and the general belief was that the whole
plant was going up in smoke. Hastepipg
70 the scene it was found that the ASSAY
once was the building undergoing de.
struction and that the main works were
in no great danger. The pipe line was
not In condition at that place to furnish
water, but a bucket brigade, operating
from the locomotive supply tank, was
formed, and by good work confined the
hames to the assay office alone. The fire
originated in the south west corner of the
building, from what cause is not known
and when first observed was we'll advan.
ced and nothing in the building was saw.
ed. Fortunately there was no wind.
The loss is something over $1,000, all
the scales etc. and supplies being lost.
Although excited, some of furnace hands
remained at their posts and the blast was
not turned oil. New supplies have been
ordered and work will not be retarded by
Inc loss.

In the junction tunnel at the Day mine
another body of ore was cut into on Tues.
day. Its of the same character as that
found seventy feet from the tunnel
mouth and which is now being hauled to
the works. The new find. in one
hundred feet, is of high grade and looks
quite promising. No new developments
are reported from any of the other mines
this week but all continue to look well,
particularly the Mendha, which in the
opinion of many is the mine of this

FOR POLITICAL EFFECT.

How Demo cratic Papers Have
 Garbled Remarks Made by MT.
 Blaine-Wbat He Did Say and Why
 He Objected to the Mckinley BilI.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-An Ohio editor hay ing written MT. Blaine that the democratic papers were parading him as an opponent of of the Mckinley bill. he replies as follows: John Hopley, Esq, Editor of the Journal,
 Bucyrus, Ohio
 My Dear Sir-You inform me that the demo- papers throughout Ohio keep the following paragraph standing in type:
 b b@s there is not ss yet line in the entire for another bushel of wheat another barrel Il, 1890.
 This sentence is garbled and taken from it's proper connection It creates a wrong impres-
 I do not doubt that in many respects the tariff bill pending in the senate is just measure and most of its provisions are in ac- cordance with the wise policy of protection, but there is not selection or line in the entire bill that will open market for another bushel Of wheat or another pound of pork.
 The letter in which this paragraph refers was written by Senator Frye on July Il, 1890, and the Mckinley bill did not become law until October l, nearly three months after that. In my letter to Senator Frye l objected to the bill because it did not contain a concillatory clause, which would provide market for wheat and pork, for other products of the farm and for various fabrics. Before the bill was finally passed the reciprocity clause was inserted and a large addition made to the free list. It will. therefore, be seen from what I said in my letter that the objection which I made to the Mckinley bill was entirely removed before the bill became a law. Let me further say that the reciprocity clause has given ample market for many barrels or flour and many pounds Of pork. Brazil some months since tered into a treaty by which many American ar ticles are admitted free. Flour is made free and pork is admitted at nominal duty. Cuba and Porto Rico have reduced the duty on four from S5. so barrel to S1 (which gives the markeD besides putting nearly @ hundred arti- cles of American production on the frse list San Domingo has made Q reciprocity treaty with flour and pork upon tbefree list, besides large number of other articles. Other treaties for rec gotiating formal treaty, has removed the pro hibition on pork, and our government in consid- eration thereof, has left her sugar on the free list. This opens to us an entirely new mar ket and Sl5, 900 900 to S20O00,0o0 of American pork will be consumed per annum, where not pound has been taken for ten years. The reel pocity provision is proving very successful espec ially in farm products and more particularly in the case of the two articles mentioned in the par agraph quoted-four and pork-I am not there fore, an openent to the Mckinley bill as the dem ocratic papers of Ohio are constantly alleging. On the contrary have cordially supported it ever since it was perfected by the insertion of the reciprocity clause. Very respectfully yours

 The Evangel received her name from the object for which she was built, being in tended for missionary boat.

THE TRADE REVIEW.
Encouraging Reports From tho We
 and Sonth

Encouraging Reports From the West
 and South.
 NEW YORK, Oct. 16.-R. G. Dun & Co. B weekly review of trade says business throughout the west and south is strong and improving. At eastern centers there is less satisfaction and the expected results from the harvesting of large crops are more slowly realized Yet the volume of all trade, as shown by payments through clearing houses outside New York, is as large as it ever has been, and for October may even surpass the unprecedented rec ord of last year. The reports from vari- ous cities throughout the country are all most uniformly encouraging.
