ECKELS ON FINANCE.
Talks of Sound Money to tt
Bankers of Boston.

BosToN. Nov. 13.-Comptroller Eckels
was the guest of the Bankers Associa-
ton at the annual dinner this afternoon.
Eckels' speech attracted the closest atten.
ton. He said: the advocates of sound
money must not rest content with the
vantage ground which Is now theirs.
1.-THE declaimer advocating money, cheap
and plenty. is yet abroad in the land and
will continue to be so as long as there is
hope for compromise or oil yielding to his
demands.
II am. mindful of the fact that cheap
money doctrines have time and again taken
hold upon our people. but this seeming
popularity is neither indicative Of their
real strength nor their soundness as finan-
cial principles. There are no errors so
popular with the mass of people as finan-
rial ones, and none so readily dispelled
when aggressively attacked"

THE YACHT TOLNA.
She Is Almost Wrecked on a Coral
Reef.

HONOLULU, Nov. 7.-Since the arrival
of the handsome little yacht Tolna, under
command of the Countess Festetics de
Tolna, on Octo Der 25 the fair comm ander
aud her Count have been having hard time
of il. The trouble all arises, so the Count
and his wife say, from their peculiar mis-
fortune in securing the aid OF incom petent
officers aud poor crew. The captain is
now entirely without a crew and her ves-
sci is detained in port for want of one. A
few Kanakas are employed on board in the
meantime.
Wichman, who shipped on the yacht at
San Francisco as mate. tells an entirely
different story fron his late employer. His
version of the matter. as told to your
correspondent few days since, is that he
was the only one on board capable of navi-
eating the yacht, and that during the trip
he w constantly interfered with in the
discharge of his duties, both by the Count
and Countess, neither of whom, he says,
know anything of navigation OF seaman
ship.
According to Wichman's story the yacht
and all on board were nearly lost on the
night of October "A on reef off the island
Of Maui.
I'VE sighted the island just before dark"
said Wichman, land knowing that we
could not land without a pilot, l set a
course to keep her off about ten miles and
then turned in as | had been up nearly the
whole of the night before. The Countess
asked me If we couldn't go in that night
and | told Der no. not without a pilot.
After l had gone to bed she or the Count
had the course changed, and along toward
morning / heard some one shouting my
name on deck. l turned out in hurry to
see what was the matter. When reached
the deck l found the yacht in the breakers
close In shore and almost on a reef. 1t
was a close call, and few minutes more
running in that direction would have re-
suited in the drowning OF all on board"
The Count stated this morning 30 your
correspondent that he would sail from here
as soon as men could be obtained. He in
tends TO go Dext to Hilo. whence he and
the Countess will visit the volcano be-
fore proceeding southwark. The new gov
eminent road TO the volcano is now COM
pleied so that tourists can 60 all the way
by carriage. the tedious horseback Grip be-
ing now entirely dispensed with. The

crew to the United States steamer Adams.
where he has them professionally exam
ined as to competency. it may be some
time before crew can be obtained here.

still lies hard and fast in the same posi-

q contract to float her to Captain Alex
Mcdowell, formerly of one of the inter-
island steamers, but with time limit of

but when he found he could not borrow
enough of these to do any good he aban-
doned it for samson poles. He used up
five days out of his time in getting eight

flames, but in spite of all they could do
with the appliances at hand the fire got
up into the hay and in few minutes the
barn was all afire. 1t was entirely con-

of hay and a large quantity OF corn
stalks. The barn was insured for $500
and its contents for S400 in the Vermont
Mutual. The barn cannot be rebuilt for
$500. 1t was an old-fashioned structure
with heavy frame.
As to the origin of these two fires or
of that at II. w. Hammond's last week
there is no definite clue. Two hard
looking tramps were seen in town
several times during the week, and
there is some reason for thinking that
they set the fires; at the same time, there
is no positive evidence that it was their
work. The fire in Mr.. Eldredge's barn
was unquestionably incendiary.

The late Mayor Harrison of Chicago
was not the highest type of an Amerl-
can, but he had popular qualities that
seem to have made him born leader Of
a certain sort of men. The most re-
markable feature of the tragedy that
ended his career is the effect it has had
in awakening the crankiness of cranks
all over the country. On Monday half a
dozen OF these fellows appeared in New
York. One of them shot the superin-
tendent of force of builders; another
tried to convince an Italian apple vender
that one of his apples was a part of the

Two FIRES.
ONE THURSDAY NIGHT AND THE OTHEi
SATURDAY NIGHT.

ONE THURSDAY NIGHT AND THE OTHER>
SATURDAY NIGHT,
Middlebury has had more than its fair
share of fires during the past week. The
first and the worst of them broke out
shortly before 6 o'clock last week Thurs
day night, when it was discovered that
the large hay barn Just north of the
freight depot, owned by Julius p. Doug
las, was in flames. A freight train was
on the siding at the time, and the
whistle of its engine gave the alarm.
The train, which was close by the burn
ing barn, was pulled out as soon as
coupling could be made, brakeman get
ting badly burned in making the con-
nection. The fire companies turned out
promptly and strung hose. One line
was laid from the hydrant near Prof.
Boyce's, about 1900 feet, and another of
some 700 feet from the hydrant near Mr..
Duncan's on Seymour street. To the
latter two nozZles was attached. But
the distance was so great that the
Ntlt uol VI iluCll use against
such a fire. The flames speedily COM
municated to the hay barn of Booth &
Walker of Vergennes, north of the
Douglas barn, and that, with the Doug
las barn, were consumed. The fire was
lively and brilliant one, lighting up
the country for miles around. In the
Douglas barn were nearly 100 tons of
pressed hay, and in the Booth & Walker
building about 30 tons. Mr.. Douglas
had $1,000 Insurance in the Vermont
Mutual-$300 on the barn, $500 on the
press and 500 on the cOntents-through
Mr.. Eldredge's agency. 1t is not prob
able that he will rebuild this fall. Booth
& Walker had $1,000 insurance in the
Vermont Mutual-S500 on the barn and
$500 on the press and fxtures-through
Mr.. Eldredge; they also had 5000 of
additional insurance on the property
through Vergennes agency. They
will rebuild at once.
The second fire was discovered between
7 and o'clock on Saturday evening In

Here is refreshingly frank opinion of
the Australian ballot law. 1t is expressed
by the journal of Lawrence, KAN:
The Australian ballot has already dem
onstrated that it is as great nuisance as
the Australian rabbit. These new fam
gled heather lmportatiOns may do for
countries where they allow only about
half the people to vote, but where every
man wants to cast his little ballot and
have it counted as he casts it, the Austria
liam ballot system is dead and decayed
failure. And in making this assertion the
journal has the moral support of every
man who has eyer tried to fathOm its
mysteries.

so far rs it goes, the legislation al
ready obtaiued is no doubt good, but it
is to feared that something more will be
required to put the general business of
the country on firm foundation. Manu-
featuring industries are especially dis
turbed; the trouble with them, however,
is not so much the silver agitation as the
uncertainty about the tariff. IL the adj
ministration and its party have their way,
the tariffs certain to be lowered; but how
much or what duties shall 60 first and
farthest no human being can divine.
Under such circumstances manufacturers
are unlikely to make gipater quantity
of anything than they know positively
that they can sell, nor can dealers be eX-
pected to buy except for immediate needs,
for they cannot afford to have the price
of commodities on their hands come
down. The action of Congress solves in
part one of problems before the country,
but the end of the business inactivity is
still some ways off.
