VERY PLAIN TALK.
The Address Made by Professor Andrews
at the Monetary Conference.

The Address Made by Professor Andrews
at the Monetary Conference.
BRUSSELS, Dec. 10.-During the ses-
sion of the international monetary con-
ference, in reply to an invitation ex-
tended to him, Professor Andrews, of
Brown university, one of the American
delegates, and personal friend Of
President-elect Cleveland, made an adj
dress. in which he said he hoped the idea
that America was bent only on increas-
ing her national wealth, and that she
was merely acting as the servile creature
of mine owners, might forever be dis
missed as being equally as absurd as the
idea that American interest was mainly
due to the distress affecting the Ameri-
can monetary system, Continuing, be
said:
1--WE have not and are not at present
likely to have a dollar in silver beyond
our needs in the United States, We
have no idea of soliciting any favor
from the peoples of Europe. What we
desire is as much to Europe's interests as
to ours. We wish to multiply our trade
with the world, TO do vaster business
with China, Japan, Asia, Central and
South America, and at the same time
with Europe. This will never be ac-
complished so long as two great groups
of nations continue to drift apart. The
evils of tiuctuating exchange which
beset England in her commerce with
India we also experience in our trading
with our neighbOrs, but we are deter
mined to accomplish a desirable end, at
the terrible cost of opening a similar
chasm between ourselves and the nations
of Europe. We will part company with
Asia and South America rather than
with you. We will not forever continue
the task Of sustaining the price of silver.
If Europe is not enough interested in
the matter to cooperate with us we
will soon decrease our annual purchase
of silver and begin to provide by re-
cruiting our currency by issues of
prper. The next congress is nearly GER
tain to open proceedings in that direc-
ton. We will not give up our gold.
The time-hNnored monetary policy Of
the United States will never be changed
with Mr.. Clcveland's consent"
Referring to the tariff, President An
drews said it was obvious that there was
no surer way TO lower the American
tariff than for Europe and the United
States to az 20 upon policy favorable
to silver as money That alone, he de-
clared, would abate the incessant con-
fiict for gold, and leave the United
States free to effect generous reduction
in the customs tariff. In conclusion,
President Andrews said he thought that
some of the plans proposed to the con-
ference were feasible, and if the dele
gates continue their deliberations with
a due sense of their responsibility the
conference would not fail to devise a
measure Of relief

A NnturaI Gas substitute.

STEUBENyILLE, o., Dec. 1O.-The Hall
Steel Pump company, Of Pittsburg, has
put plant for burning petroleum into
the Acme Glass works. Sixty shops and
six glory holes are now being run with
oil in the Acme works, and the rest is
regarded as conclusive. The oil used is
crude from the Mcdonald field. The
burners used in the furnace are built on
what is known as the aerated fuel sys-
TEN, in which air highly compressed is
mixed with the oil as it comes to the
burners. The success Of the new de-
parture will probably revolutionize the
glass works fuel business in the Ohio
valley,

Suffering in the Blizzard Districts,

SIOUX CITY, Ia, Dec. 1O.--Reports of
suffering from scarcity Of coal come
from all parts of South Dakota, North
ern Nebraska and Western Iowa, as q
result of the blizzard that swept over
the northwest. There is a scarcity in
the hands of the dealers that in many
cases amounts to no supply at all. The
dealers charge the railroads with all the
responsibility, saying that coal ordered
by them was confscated en- route by the
railroads and used in their engines, the
railroad supply not being enough to
furnish motive power for the great grain
rush. At Alpena, S. D., the citizens
became enraged and confscated thirty
tons Of coal in the railroad sheds which
they apportioned out among those need
ing it, while Mt other points coal on cars
billed to places beyond is being seized.
In this city there is famine of steam
cCal, and unless relief comes soon many
factories will have to use dearer fuel.
All the railroads report a heavy fall Of
snow and big drifts along their lines,
amounting almost to blockade, which
which makes the situation more serious.

and crippled for life, he has met with
numerous Affections. His residence OIL
Fifth street was burned about ye and
a half ago, while MIR. Snyder was suffer-

1t was with difficulty at that time that he
was removed from the burning building.
Always keeping up brave heart, his in
domitable will refused to be bent and he
continued at the head OF the Canton Steel
Roofing company, and by his untiring
efforts in business way placed that cons

aRement, will be speedily forthcoming.
The company has been doing a immense
volume of business during this year and
had many contracts ahead. The loss of
time until a new plant can be erected is
of material moment in figuring up the
losses. The volume of business trans.
acted during this year reaches S3l6,OOO.

night. He said the entire loss would foo
no TO over 100000. while the insurance
was som sthing like S35, 900. The machinery
aud stock we're valued at about 100000.
Nothing was saved out OF the shop but
everything was completely destroyed.
Mr.. 7. U. Snyder, president OF the com
pany was n New York at the time and was
telegraphed concerning the fire. Mr.. Rich
ardson stated that the company would
probably rebuild at once.
THE STORM.
When the fire started there was a brisk
wind blowing from the southeast, but not
OF such strength that the hremen were
unable to do battle with the flames. At IL
o'clock, by the time the flames we're under
control, a stiff breeze was blowing. The
wind grew in intensity and by 1:15 was
| a small siz ed cyclone struck the city aud
| the result was that the torrents of tain
| which fell, dampsned the roofs of buildr
| inRs in tn g vicinity, so that the burning
embers which were flying In every direc-
| ton and which were carried n great
distance by the strong wind, did no dams
| age. Had the wind commenced to blow
| sooner the progress OF the flames would
| not have been stopped until much more
| damage had resulted,
| SHORTAGE OF HOSE.
At 3 o'clock this morning there was
| only slight blaze. The flremen were
still Mt work, although the hose carts had
| been taken to the houses and n mB joriiy
| of the regulars had turned in. The volun
| teers manned a couple Of streams and
| under the direction OF Chief Ohliger
played on the burning remnants of the
once prosperous plant which was one OF
the industries TO which Canton citizens
| pointed with particular pride. Chief
ObIIger stated to NEWS. DEMOCRAT man
that IL he had had sufficient hose two
| into play. Effective service could have
been done by these extra streams, in the
way OF lessening the danger OF a further
| spread Of the flames. Chief Ohliger
asked the council for 900 feet Of hose and
that body had been so SLOW in supplying
the article that the hose is still wanted. II
the wind exp ended in the council chamber
in discussion over the hose question had
been turned loose at last nighps fire,
nothing under heaven could have saved
the entire city from total destruction.
THE TILE AND HOLLOW BRICK COMPANY.
The flames spread across to the build
ing of the Canton Tile and Hollow Brick
| Company, adjoining. The east wing Of
their plant was guttod and considerable of
their machinery destroyed and unified for
use. This building has been standing for
| some time although in almost constant
use. ItTequried some time to eXtinguish
