Startling Disclosures Regarding
the Worlds Fair Fire.
BIG SENSATION PROMISED.
The Warehouse Burned to Conceal
Wholesale Robbery.
One Hundred and Fifty People Said to
b. Concerned in the Conspiracy Which
Resulted in an Incendiary Fire
and Loss of Many Lives.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Eyidence of a
startling nature concerning the cold
storage warehouse fire was taken by the
grand jury today. The witness was
John j. Duggan, formerly saloon
keeper and the man who first told the
story concerning the incendiarism. Ac-
cordlng to him there were $50 men con-
cerned in the conspiracy and he declared
he had given the names to the grand jury.
He said that right from the opening of
the exposition goods OF all kinds were
stolen by wholesale from the warehouse
and finally the incendiary fire was set to
cover up the crime. The people con-
cerned in the plot were employees of the
cold storage warehouse and a gang that
was just outside the grounds. Duggan
declares that there will be a big sensa-
ton when things come out in detail.
The grand jury will resume investigation
! tomorrow.
The weather continues perfect. There
is not cloud in the sky and the temper
allure is just right for going about out of
doors. The management is actively en-
gagged in cutting down expenses by lop-
| ping unnecessary employees, and it is
thought bedrock will be reached before
| the close of the week. In this way it is
expected quarter OF million dollars
will be saved in three months. The pay
ment of bonds will begin within the next
ten days.

BUFFALO, Aug. 3.-Some sensational
racing marked the third day of the Grand
Circuit meeting and several records went
by the board. In the stake for 2:15
trotters Hulda trotted the fastest three
heat race on record, beating the best
average of Martha Wilkes and also twice
lowered the Buffalo track record OF 2:1OH
by Maud s. Hulda's third mile was also
the fastest ever made by a five-year- old,
and the time, 2:08h, should be univers-
ally considered.
The race record of 2:081< made by Mar
tina Wilkes at Evansville, Ind. last year
bore the faint OF suspicion
Hal Pointer won the great free-f or-ali
pacing race after an interesting and hard
fought battle. In the last heat two noted
side wheelers fought it out down the
stretch and Pointer clearly and fairly out
footed Mascot.

question. The party included Senator'S
Perkins and White and Congressman
Mcguire and Berry and John P. Irish.
With the exception of Irish, the members
of the party are unanimous in their pre-
ference for white metal and as Irish does
not count, silver will lose no votes on
account of his opinions.
Senator Perkins said he was believer
in the double standard and had no fear
of there ever being too much silver put in
circulation, on the contrary he would like
to see four or FIVE millions of silver dol
lars in the national vaults put out and
used as subsidiary coin.
Senator White is personally a strong
friend OF silver, but is OF the opinion that
the Sherman act is neither wise nor
polite. He thinks the act will be re-
pealed and compromise legislation be the
result.
Congressman Mcguire came out fat
footed for the free coinage of both silver
and gold The minis should be opened,
he said, to the free coinage of both money
metals, leaving the laws of trade and con-
tracts of the people to determine how
values shall compare.
As ever. Colonel Irish is a disciple Of and
leans toward goldbugism.

LONDON, Aug. ga meeting was held
today at the official residence of the lord
mayor to consider the financial and bust
ness situation, presided over by the lord
mayor. The gathering was very largely
attended. Among those present were
Right Hon. a. j. Balfour, Right Hon.
Henry Chopin, formerly presid entSof the
board of agriculture; Right Hon. Sir
John Lubbock of the firm of Roberts,
Lubbock and company, bankers; Hon.
Thomas f. Bayard, the American ambas-
sa6or to Great Britain: Dan A. Horton
and most of the leading bankers of Lon
don.
Balfour made an address and disclaimed
political motives and alluded TO the
anxiety felt throughout the bust
ness world, connected with the cur
ncy changes of India and the
action that might be taken by the United
States government A gold standard,
Bnlfour declared, would never satisfy the
commercial wants while a double stand
ard alone would prevent the dangerous
oscillations in trade. He condemned the
isolated action on the part OF individual
states and recommended an international
agreement fixing the ratio of value be-
tween gold and silver.
In the course CT MS ADDRESS BalfOur de-
MED that the advocates of bi-metallisru
aimed at an imitation of currency
This might be true, he said, of some hi
Inetallists connected with the western
states of America, but it did not apply to
the bi-metallists Of Europe, who believe
the adoption of bi-metallism would prove
the safest commercial policy in the event
of a European war. The double stand

Views of Congressman on Re-
pealirg the Sherman Law.
MR.. sPRINGER'S PREDICTION
He Is Hopeful Of Short Session of
Congress.
Representative Oates Speaks Very Plain
There Can Be No Unconditional Re-
peal of the sherman Act-It Must
Contain Free Coinage Clause.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-RepresentatIve
Springer of Illinois, chairman of the ways
and means committee in the last Congress,
arrived at the capital today. In brief his
opinion is that Congress will not be in
session for more than week or ten days
In August. In that time, hopeful Mr..
Springer thought the purchase clause of
the Sherman act would be repealed and
the WAYS and means committee empoW-
cred to draft tariff bill for submission to
Congress when it reconvened which
should be some time in October.
AS to the tariff, it would be impossible
for the ways and means committee to do
Justice to the subject while the House is
in constant session for there were too
many disturbing elements and the sur
roundings would not be favorable for
wise and safe legislation, but if the COM
mittee was empowered to prepare a bill
and allowed 10 go to some quiet place on
the seashore or elsewhere and pursue
their labors unmolested the result would
be satisfactory.
BY a bill touching the course of the
ways and means committee in dealing
with the tariff Mr.. Springer said it would
doubtless report one general tariff bill
instead of q series of specific bills. The
time is now at hand when the Demo-
cratic party must redeem its pledge and
reform the entire tariff system.
.'If the president parts company with
the Chicago platform, l believe his party
will part company with him. were the
significant words uttered by representa-
tive Oates this afternoon. 1.-THE Chicago
platform called for repeal of the Sher-
man law and the maintenance of gold and
silver as money upon a parity. Any
scheme which eontemplates an abandon
ment of the use of silver is antagonistic
4 J. = .s..1--
not be supported by Congress. There
can in my opinion, be no unconditional
repeal OF the Sherman law, and If the
president has set out to repeal the Sher-
man act without offering anything in its
place, he has set up platform not in ac-
cord with the one upon which he went
before the people.'' Mr.. Oates looks for
repeal of the Sherman law with a con-
dition that will provide for the free coin
age of silver at an increased ratio.
Senator Squire of Washington takes
the ground that the president should be
allowed to deal with the silver question
in his own discretion. He believed that il
would be good policy for Congress to pass
q joint resolution permitting the presi-
dent to suspend the operation of the sill
yer purchase section OF the Sherman Law
in his discretion.
Representative Bland arrived today.
he said the friends OF silver had agreed
upon no plan OF campaign other than
that they were opposed TO a repeal of the
: Sherman law, unless given free coinage
of silver.

HUNTINGTON AND SILVER.
The Railway NIagnate Says He Favors tn.
White Metal.

NEW YORK, Aug 3.-Collis P. Haunting
ton, president of the Southern Pacific.
has dictated the following upon the situa-
ton: s'If Congress will repeal the Sher-
man act and make, say $40 the legal ten
Ger of silver and not allow any paper to
be issued under So, that would put a large
amount OF silver in circulation. Then Let
the government issue $500, 600, 600 in gold
bonds, bearing interest not TO exceed 8
per cent, they to be used as collateral for
the national currency, and let the banks
have par currency on the old fonrs. That
would restore confidence, make money
plenty, and l believe be a good thing for
silver.
81 am for silver and would like to have
& treated kindly, but don't believe the
best interests of silver lie in the buying
of four and half millions of it a month.
Silver is the poor mans currency and has
been for ages, and will always be. / be-
iieve when the commercial world under
stands that il is not going arbitrarily Ia
bull the prices of silver they will very
soon call halt and ask what legislation
can be brought about to use silver in a

Armenian Christians.

The Death Sentence Carried Out with
Armenian Christians.
LONDON, Aug. 3.-The question of the
Turkish outrages rpm Armenian Chris
tians has again b. brought up in the
house of commons. Sir Edward Gray
said what little information the foreign
office had on the subject was very painful.
Fifty-six persons had been arrested, and
seventeen condemned to death. Many
others were sentenced to long terms of
imprisonment. Subsequently the sultan
commuteo the death sentence of all but
five. These have been executed within
the past two or three days.
From the evidence given at the trials,
all of which has been carefully 1nvesti--
gated by the British representative in
Turkey and report thereon forwarded
to the foreign office, it was clear that two
of the men executed were probably limo
cent of the charges against them. The
British representative in Constantinople
used his infiueece to convince the Otto
man authorities that the trials were I'M
fair but his efforts we're in vain.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The Anchor line
steamer Karaania arrived this afternoon
from Naples with general cargo and
AL Storage passengers. Three passengers
died during the voyage and were buried
at sea.
Health Officer Jenkins has detained the
steamer to determine the cause of death
and for the examination and disinfection.
All OF the passengers came on board at
Naples. All are well on board this after
noon.
The Karamina was boarded tonight and
the ships doctor, asked as to the cause
of deaths, positively refused to talk on
the subject. Even when informed that
suspicion prevailed that it was
Asiatic cholera that had caused them he
said. Health Officer Jenkins had his
report and could make it public if he de-
sired. A seaman on the Karamania said
those who had died had violent diarrhoea !;
beyond this he knew nothing as to the
cause of death.

CURRENCY SCARCE.
New York Banks Paying Premium for
Bills.

NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The banks here
have shut down on the shipment OF cur
rency to the interior. The scarcity is SO
pronounced that agents are bidding pre-
MUM so per 81, 600 today. Instit utions
with large pay rolls have been com PEELED
largely to use silver. One bank is re-
ported to have paid ! per cent. for all
currency received at big retail estab-
lishment. The banks requested de-
positors to use checks as much as posi-
bic and where cash is required they are
paying large portion in silver dollars.
The supply OF bills at the sub-treasury
is growing limited and has caused re-
fusal on the part of the sub-treasurer to
receive checks from the banks IN pay
ment for silver dollars and currency for
shipment and payroll use. The subs
treasury has collected checks through the
clearing houses. The order of the sub
treasury today is that the banks must de-
post cash against the withdrawal of cur
rency and silver. This is one OF the re-
suits by the conference yesterday between
Secretary Carlisle and Assistant Sub
Treasurer Jordan.

SILVER CERTIFICATES.

The Treasury Department VIII Issue No
More for the Present.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.-No more silver
certificates will be issued by the treasury
department for the present, as the limit
prescribed by law has been reached; that
is to say, as many silver certificates are
now outstanding as there are standard
silver dollars coined in the treasury to re-
deem them.
Under the Bland act 3S9, 1886. 374 stand
ard silver dollars have been coined. The
reduction in the number of standard sill
yer dollars in the treasury has been
brought about by the large demand re-
Gently for silver dollars from the South TO
move the crops in Georgia and the Caro-
linas and pay off hands at work on the
cotton crop.

Six Thousand Tons of the New Crop
Reach New York.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.-The British
steamship GlenogIe, with cargo of the
new crop of tea, arrived today from Yoko-
homa and Annoy. The Glenogle left
Annoy June %, and every effort was made
to get to this port ahead of rivals. The
cargo of 5000 tons of new tea is worth
just 81, SOC, 600. When she left Annoy it
was worth much more here, and L, 000, goo
pounds will make decided Impression on
the market.
Tbirty-four Cinnamon who are en-
tered on the articles of the ship as able
bodied seamen, but who do not seem to
belong to that category at all, cannot
leave the steamer while in this port until
they file bond for 5000 each for their
safe return. 1t costs $500 to get a China
man into the United States and the bond
would seem to be a new and successful
method OF violating law.

REDUCING EXPENSES.
The Burlington Will Reduce Expenses in
the Passenger Service


CHICAGO, Aug. g. Extensive reduc-
tions are to be made in the passenger SER
vice of the Burlington road. Trains are
to be dispensed with wherever it can be
done without serious inconvenience.
Three through trains are now run daily
between Denver and Chicago. One of
these will be done away with,
and similar action will be
taken with trains on other
divisions. These reductions become
necessary in the interest of economy and
on account of the falling off in general
travel.
Boycotting seems unpopular among
railroads. The attempt of the western
passenger association to boycott the
Mobile & Ohio received black eye today,
when the Wabash gave notice that 1t
would observe the boycott so far as the
lines within the territory of the associa-
ton are concerned, but on all other
branches would not.
