WASHINGTON, June ACCOMMODATIONS
between Cleveland and the members of
his cabinet today caused considerable
gossip. Lamont had a long talk with
the president in the forenoon, ana dur
ing the time it lasted the president
would see no callers. When Lamont re-
tired senators and representatives wait
ing to see the president were hopeful of
obtaining an audience, but Secretary
Herbert appeared and he and Cleveland
went into another long executive session.
When Smith relieved Herbert there was
a retreat on the part Of those outside
the presidents doorway. Other mem
of the cabinet we're also closeted with the
president during the day. Reports
spread that Cleveland was consulting
with reference to the ACCESSIBILITY Of
calling an extra session of congress earlier
than September, but there was NJ found
atiCu Tor the story. There is reason to
believe that Mr.. Cleveland intends to
leave the city within a few days for a
long stay at Buzzards bav and that he
and his cabinet officers were merely ar
ranging matters so that he could leave.
A congressman is authority for the state
ment that Mr.. Cleveland told him he
would take up no new appointments
while the financial question is at such a
critical point. but would continue to
issue commissions to candidates whose
appointments had been decided upon.

1t is Not Rosy, But its Bearishness is
Largely From Scare.
New YORK, June 30.-R G.. Dun's
weekly review of trade says: The clos
ing of the Indian mints against silver,
the fall of silver bullion to CT cents in
New York and 341a pence at London on
Thursday, the falling of wheat to G211a
cents at Chicago and 70 cents at New
York, the suspension Of operations by
miners and smelters of Colorado and
some other silver producing states have
made the past week one of unusual in
terest. Up to the present time domestic
trade conditions have not materially
changed since last week, though in.
creasingly restricted by monetary uncer-
tainties. Wheat has reached prices
regarded as out of the question a month
ago, and thus the supply in sight is very
large and returns from the northwest as
to the coming harvest are more favor
able.
The state of foreign exchange indl
Gates a willingness to send money hithel
for loans or investments. but the Bank
of England by changing the rate for gold
shows a determination to resist exports
to this country.
Business in iron and steel products il
remarkably depressed and exper
fenced observers pronounce the situa
ton and outlook the most unfavorablt
eyer known. The volume of business
is quite large, but at the lowest price OF
record. Trade in wooded goods is much
restricted am waiting for further dc
velopments.

EN-GOV. HAUSER'S VIEWS.
lie Says That "a Reaction in Favor of silver
Will Take Place.

HELENA, Mont, June 29.-EX-Gov.
Houser, chief owner of the Helena smell
ter, which is turning out 100000 in
silver bullion every month, says he will
not close as there is enough gold and
lead in the ores Of Montana to keep it
running in spite of the decline of silver.
Mr.. Hauser says the present situation
will cause a reaction in favor of silver.
Every silver mine that closes down re-
duces the production Of gold from % to
40 per cent. The result will be the con
traction of the gold product to less than
~SGJ,OOO.OOO per annum, the amount
which is consumed every year in the
arts alone. Money will become scarce
and gold go to a premium and this
scarcity will compel the increased use OF
silver. Mr.. Hauser thinks the next con
gress will repeal the Sherman law and
pass a law for the coinage of three OF
four million of silver per month on an
increased ratio.

LAMAR, Mo-, June 2S.-The Hartley
bank at Jericho was robbed early this
morning. Jericho is a small town in
Cedar county. 1t has no night police
and the work of the robbers was easy.
The cashier was forced to get up and go
to the bank, one-half mile away. and
open the safe. The robbers completely
cleaned out the safe, leaving nothing of
any value, taking all the cash and quite
a number of valuable papers. The
Hartley bank is a private one and is
chartered for $1,000 and was
largely used by stockmen.
They al carried deposits
ranging from 500 to $500 zach. The
cashier says there we're four men in the
gang. There is no clew to the robbers
but they are thought to have been resi-.
dents of the county. The amount Sc.
cured is not definitely known, but esti'
mates place it at from 5000 to $4,000

NEAR DOVER, n. II.
An Asylum Destroyed by Fire and Only

Appalling Scenes.

DOVER. n. H., Feb. 1O.-Further par
tioulars Of last nights fire in the insane
asylum Of the Strafford county work
house. about four miles out Of the city,
confirm the report that the building was
entirely destroyed and that forty-four OF
the inmates were buried to death. The
building was a wooden affair. 1SOxS5 feet
in dimensions and burned like tinder, and
only four inmates, Rose Sanborn, James
Dailsy, Frank Dauchame and William
wtmbley. survive.
In making his rounds shortly after 10
o'clock, Watchman Chesley discovered
the fire. He at once gave IN alarm. ana
William p. Driscoll, keeper, and attend
ants rushed through the inmates quarters
which were mainly on the second floor, and
burst the locks TO the cells and tried 70
arprise the inmates of their danger. The
fire had gained rapid headway and ma
iority of the inmates were so confused
that they retarded the escape of the
others. and the scene was one beyond
description end heartrendlng 10 witness.
Keeper Driscoll used every possible
effort to liberate inmates. and remained
in the building VI Ill obliged TO jump from
the second story window In order 10 save
himself. A messenger was NJ once dis
patched 10 the city for assistance and
PORTION Of the department was sent to the
scene. but before Assistance arrived the
building was reduced to ashes and nothing
remained but the smouldering ruins, but
by the efforts of the firemcn the main
building OF the institution was saved.
Those who arrived on the scene early
will never forget the horrible scenes Wit
messed The fire brightly Illuminated the
country for miles around, and the poor
unfortunates could be plainly seen as
they writhed ard turned about in the
blazing furnace. The fire was first dis
covered in the cell occupied by woman
named La FOmlan. and was very small
but Watchman Chesley states It spread
with a raj idity that was astonishing, and

intendent De Merritt at once organized a
fire brigade of those people, and through
their heroic efforts the fire was subdued.

NOT DEAD, ONLY SLEEPING.
The Anti-Option Bill VIII be Revived in
the House Next Week.

WASHINGTON. Feb. lO.-The Anti
option bill has been only sleeping during
the last few days, while the appropria-
tions and silver were absorbing the lntsr-
est Of the House. but now that the latter
has been shelved and the appropriation
bills are getting out OF the way, Anti
option will be brought TO the front. II IS
probable that Mr.. Hatch Will make
move I'm behalf of his pet measure Nt
week. AS soon as the appropriations are
out OF the way the House Will have so ne
time on its hands. There are a number
OF requests for special orders pressing ON
the Rules Committee. Mr.. Hatch is after
a special order for the Agricultural Com
mittee. He wants three days. which IN
more time than he is likely To get at This
stage Of the session. Alr. Hatch wants
TO pass the Pure Food and other bills In
addition to the Anti-Option bill. When he
gets a special order an effort viii be made
10 pass the Anti-OptiOn bill under II.
There are indications that MIR. Hatch is
getting into the fashion In parliamentary
circles, and will endeaYor 20 have eloturs
put on as part OF the special order re-
ported by the Rules Committee. Nheth r
or not he will be more successful thal
the anti-silvel men remains 10 be seen. but
his bill on test vote is stronger than
either side OF the silver question. and his
friends may be willing 10 lake cloture on
IL regardless Of how they voted on cloturs

EMPLOYMENT or PTNKERTONS.
The Senate Select Committee Makes Its
Report on the Question.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-Mr. GailinSer,
from the select committee appointed by
the Serate 10 Investigate and report 10
the Senate the facts in relation to the
employmt Mt for private purposes Of armed
bodies Ct men or detectives, submitted
the repurt Of the committee to-day.
The committee found that even the pro-
prietors OF the detective agencies admitted
that the presence Of so-called Pinkertons
at strike served to unduiy infiame the
passions Of the strikers. and the employ
ment Of detectives in the guise Of me-
chanics impressed the committee with The
belief that ii is an utterly vicious system
responsible for much of the ill-feeing and
bad blood displayed by The working
classes. The committee expresses the
opinion that II firms and corporations
would discontinue the employment Of
armed men oil occasions of threatened
or existing strikes their interests would
be better subserved.
The committee reached these conclu
sions:
First. Rights of employers and work
men are equal.
Second Employers have an undoubted
rif ut. provided they fulhll their agree
ments. to employ and dismiss men at
pleasure.
Third. WOrkmen can legally organize
for mutual protection and Improvement.
Fourth. When dissatisfied with wages
or hours they should attempt to arbl-
trate.
Fifth. Falling in this they have right
TO discontinue work either singly or in
a body.
Sixth. Having discontinued they have
no right. legal or moral. by force or in
timidation TO keep others from taking
their places or attempt to occupy, injure
or destroy the property Of their en-
ployerS.
Seventh. In all controversies, arbitra.
tion having failed, reliance should be
placed upon the power end adequacy Of
the law.
Eighth, Whether asSumedly legal or
not. the employment of armed bodies of
men for private purposes either by em-
plOyers or employees should not be re-
sorted to. and such Use is an assumption
of the States authority by private clti-
zens
States have undoubted authority to
legsate against the employment of armed
bodies of men for private purposes, but
the power of Congress 10 so legislate is
rot clear, although ii would seem that
Congress ought rot TO be powcrless TO
prevent tn movement Of such bodies from
one State to another.

BUSINESS IN TIE SOUTH.
UnfayorabIe Weather and Bad Roads
Having Their Effect Upon Trade.

NEW YORK, Feb. l0-Bradstreets
to morrow will say: Features of the
week in trade circles include check 10
transportation by rail Of grain. other pro-
duce and merchandise throughout portions
Of tho central western States and in the
Northwest, IN unprtcedented clearing
out of old stocks OF winter goods by III
terror merchants West, a check in de-
n.and for wool and rapid development of
gulf ports as exporters OF wheat. UnfaY-
orable weather and bad roads have had
an effect in checking collections some
what South, as well as distribution Of
staples. This Is conspicuous in Texas
and central Southern States. There Is
good active demand for leaf tobacco at
Richmond. and orders for manufactured
grades are being received there more
freely. General trade at Nashville is
active. that in hardware and carriages
and bugges noticeably so. There is less
dating ahead through the regicn tributary
TO this centre and an increased disposi-
tiOn to discount paper
Some Improvement is rep )rted from
Memphis In the movement Of groceries
and plantation supplies. Orders are plen-
tiful in most lines at Charleston, but the
larger sales 10 inferior merchants are said
to be on long time.
While groceries and provisions are dull
at Atlanta there is considerable activity
in sales of dry goods and shoes. At Bir-
mingham Ala, the volume OF bl siness
nearly equals the average for the season.
While trade at New Orleans has increased
il is expected to expand further after
the carnival. Grain exports from that port
are becoming quite a feature but sugar
is said 10 be quiet for the first time this
season. There Is also good export de-
mand for -four and wheat from Galveston.
where leading jobbers report sales
checked by unfavo-able weather.
