Perfectly Clear.

In Doctor Persons description of life
in the southwest as he saw it many years
ago-''before the war"-he speaks often
of the peculiar turns of speech there
prevalent. He was once present at an
ecclesiastical meeting, where motions
were piled upon each other until mat.
tiers were in frightful muddle. Final.
ly the moderator was appealed to for a
decision.
He rose from his seat, as became a pre-.
siding officer thus appealed to, and lift
ing his lank form till his head was
among the rafters of the low school
house he hesitated moment and then
said:
Brethren, my decision is that you are
all ahead of the hounds"
Doctor Pierson confesses that he did
not fully comprehend the meaning OF
the words, but he could not help seeing
that the decision was perfectly clear and
satisfactory to the assembly.

BIG BLOW ABOUT MAINE.
REPUBLICANS PLAYING THEIR
OLD-TIMD GAME

They Will Claim the State by a Small
Majority and After the Returns Come
In, Showing a Much Larger One, Will
Boast OF 1t as Great Victory.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-The usual big
republican fight TO keep Maine from going
democratic will be renewed this year with
the usual accom- paniments. The state Is
safe for 10000 republican majority unless
there has been bigger break than the DEM
ocratic lesders are counting on, but the re-
publicans will pursue the policy of singing
small and then claiming any advance Of
their modest figures as evidence OF a big
republican revival. I'VE shall carry the
state by 10000 majority" has been the pre-
diction of Joe Manley In presidential
years, when he well knew the figures
would be higher and he would be
able to boast Of big gain over his esti-
mates The campaign this year is to be
treated ,asi heretofore, las the first gun in the
fight for the presidency and IL will be
given national Importance by carrying
into the state some Of the greatest leaders
of the party to speak for Harrison and
Reid.
BLAINE'S SERVICES WANTED.
Mr.. Blaine will be asked to deliver few
speeches and it is hoped that he will accept.
He may not go outside the state to speak
and the Harrison men profess in
difference whether he does or
not. They would be glad to
have his help but will leave ID 70 the ma
tional committee to extend the invitation.
Another speaker who will take an active
part in the Maine canvass is Gen. Gibson Of
Ohio who has a brilliant record as a cam
paigner and has the advantage for q pro-
hibitory state of being a strong temperance
man. Ex-Speaker Reed and the other re-
publican representatives will be on the
stump as soon as they can get away from
the capitol, and they are using their influ-
euce to get the help of some Of their asso~
ciRtes in the two houses.

If They Can Get a Quorum They May

WASHINGTON, July 25.-The wor Ids
fair representatives here, having discharged
or suppressed the professional lobbyist they
had at first engaged have gotten
on 80 we'll that they are now assured
majority of the votes OF those
members Of the House who are here now.
OF the 200 mem bers here they have 10 or
100, but unless they can get quorum, or
l57 men here to vote, they will not succeed
Ia reversing the former action Of the House,
for the opponents of the bill will simply fall
back on fllibustering.
DON'T EXPECT THE HALF DOLLARS.
Therefore the worlds fair people have
about settled down to the belief that they
will not get the 10, ,000, 900 silver half dollars
as provided for by the Senate, and are
counting now on making some compromise
with the opposition which will give them
some different allowance. The leaders of
the opposition, Messrs Holman aud Dock
cry, are opposed to all compromise. They
would rather like TO see the sundry bill fail
They are really thought to be
working to that end. The appro-
priations for the coast survey,
the geological survey, the Smithsonian In
stitution, the life saving service, the light
house service and the other branches OF the
departments provided for in the bill could
be extended till next session on the basis
of last years appropriations, and
all extra appropriation provisions
for the worlds fair would be saved,

be able to hold their followers, some Of
whom are interested in special provisions

PULAsKrs THIRD PARTY.

Men Nominated for Every ONCE In

HAwKINsvILLE, Ca, July 25. The Peo-
ple's party held their first convention In
Pulaski county here to-day and nominated
full ticket. They selected persons for
every county office and named two would-bs
statesmen, for whom they will vote to rep
Representatives. The proceedings wers
rather dull. The meeting was presided
over by T. G. Allen of she Hartford dis
triot, and W. @. Solomon, a Justice OF the
peace Of Cochran, acted as secretary. The
superior court room was pretty well filed,
the crowd numbering about 500,
made up Of democrats, reptib-
licans, negroes and third partyiteSl A
liberal estimate places the numuer OF pro-
nounced third party men and those who
were thought TO be inclined that way az
sixty, though this number did not vote In
the nomination. The MORNING NEWS COR
respondent kept tally as the ballots were
counted, aud not a single time did they ex.
ceed 80. The chairman did not declare
the number Of ballots cast In any NOM
inatioR. James Cooley and j. d. Pierce
were nominated for the legislature. Whils
democrats deplore the fact that any OF the
people OF Pulaski have strayed after false
gods, they do not tapprehend any danger from
them. There were more than 100
negroes at to-day's meeting, but they did
not figure in ii. Not a negro was mem
toned for any Office, in spite OF the fact
that they had stated that the third party

meeting will give the third party black

ANTI-oPrIoNs MEN MAY LOSE.
The Bill May be Referred to the F

The Bill May be Referred to the FL
nance Committee.
WASHINGTON. July 25.-Thers was some
prospect this afternoon that the almost in
terminable debate upon the anti-options
bill might be brought TO speedy and un-
expected end The large ma ajority in favor
of consideration Of the bill disclosed when
ever a formal motion has been made TO take
it up, greatly discouraged the opponents OF
the measure and they were obliged to fall
back upon the last resort Of a threatened
minority In the Senate, talk against time,
hoping TO protract the debate and prevent
action upon the bill until final adjournment
But certain elements have been at work in
a direction favorable to the opposition. Mr..
Whites speech, unlike a majority Of the set
speeches, undoubtedly made some converts
70 his side of the controversy, and the nu-
merous remoustrances that have been pour
ing in from leading commercial and iinan-
cial bodies in the United States have also
had their effect. Further aid TO the opposi
tion has come from the extremely warm
weather, which has made the temperature
In the Senate chamber almost unbenrable,
and has weakened the purpose OF the sena-
tors who were resolved to have vote on the
anti-options bill before they left Washing
ton for the summer. To-day it was sud-
denly announced by some OF the opponents
of the bill that the senators above referred
TO would secure the opportunity they wished
for and right speedily too. This announce
ment was 500 followed by a proposition to
the Senate from Senator Wolcott to refer
the bill to the finance committee Among
the considerations urged in favor OF refer
ence are the following: The origi-
nal bill was certainly revenue
bill ana its revenue features had never been
passed upon by the finance committee
Amendments have also been added to the
original bill in such numbers and OF such
scope that few senator's are prepared 10 as
sert that they understand exactly what the
bill in its present shape means. This fact
IL is urged gives reason for reference to the
finance committee In order that an Ruthori-
tative declaration may be had as 10 It's
probable effect upon the finances OF the
country. Using these and other arguments
the opponents of the anti-options bill have
been making inroads upon the strength Of
the measure, and this afternoon
it was asserted that when a vote
is taken upoa Senator Wolcott's motion it
will prevail. But If it should not, the OPP
ponents Of the bill will have lost no ground,
they will be just where they now are. in a
position to talk against time 70 defer action
on the bill until next session. Senator
Wolcott fully expects that Senator Allison
will tomorrow renew the motion he made,
bus withdrew to-day, TO lay the motion to
refer the bill on the table and that will
bring the matter to head immediately and
test the strength Of the opposition.

swept them across Water street
into the settled district. The east
side Of Water street, where the
fire crossed, was built up with stores, hotels
and restaurants Nearly all the buildings
were constructed of wood and burned like

progressed aud 10 an hour the flames had
consumed Miller & Turner's entire plant,
comprising a sawmill, salt blocks, dry
kilns and a large quantity Of lumber. The
flames had also travelled three blocks 30 the

IRON RIVERS FIRE.

The People Homeless and Cars Sent
Them For Storage Purposes.
WEST SUPERIOR, WIS, July 25.-The
town of Iron River, Wis. forty miles east
Of here. was wiped out by fire yesterday
afternoon. The entire business dis
trict in which we're the buildings of the
Northern Pacific and Duluth, South Shore
and Atlantic railroads, were burned to-
Rether with most OF the residence district.
The loss is roughly estimated at 5000 900.
The fire originated in a store building two
blocks south-of the Northern Pacific depot.
A big saw mill, half a mile from town. es-
capped. AS soon as il became evident that
the town was doomed all the eff
orts were directed to saving person
al effects The 1900 inhabitants
are in the streets without shelter. A train
OF freight cars was sent out by the North
ern Pacific In which the people may store
the effects they saved. The town was
practically without fire protection. Before
the Superior fire department got out of
town they were called back by a message
saying it would be too late for service.
Many Superior people are heavy losers. The
town of Iron River was practically
built this summer. 1t was a mill town
and was growing rapidly.
