VIVA, Feb. 2i.-This morning at go
the alarm of fire was sounded. The fire
broke out in the postoGice, and imme-
dlately communicated to SLIPS Hall and

The property destroyed was Sill's Hall,
Sill u Barker's saloon, the postof1fce, w.

Charles Sill, Grant Neil and John

from Red Bluff with water tank attached.

most too late to be of assistance. They
worked with a will, and remained till the

THE FINANCIAL QUESTION.
Mr.. Cleveland Thinks 1t the All-In-

Mr.. Cleveland Thinks 1t the All-Im-
portant Subject at Present.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Mr. Cleveland
has continued to insist with all his visit
ors that action on the financial question
was an important achievement to be
sought during the present session to avert
the necessity of an early session of the
new Congress. He will still endeavor to
avoid an extra session. But the nervous
condition of the money market may COM
pei him to call one in spite of his disin-
clination to do so. An extra session will
become an absolute necessity if the silver
extremists carry out the programme
which the group of them are reported to
have framed, to fillbuster against the
sundry civil appropriation bill in order
to defeat the Sherman amendment reduc-
ing the rate of interest on bonds. The
sundry civil bill carries a number of i'm
| portant appropriations which cannot we'll
be dispensed with even for few months,
and if the enemies of the incoming Presi-
dent are determined to embarrass him by
causing an extra session, they will prob
ably be able to do 50 by filibustering
against the appropriation bill. Ifan ex-
ira session becomes necessary, Mr.. Cleve-
land Will make the action to suspend sill
yer purchases the leading recommenda-
ton OF his message to the two houses.
BoND-IssUE QUESTION.
| WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.-The question
of issuing bonds to keep the gold reserve
intact was discussed at to-day's Cabinet
meeting. Secretary Foster is understood
to have stated that 81, DDS, ,46S, free gold
was in the Treasury, minus $4,000, 900
taken from the New York Sub Treasury
for export to-day.
1t was also stated that Rus1l and Elkins
| sustained the Presidents position against
the issue of bonds. Tracy, it is believed.
sided with Foster in favor of their issue,
with the result that it is stated on good
authority that the decision was not to
issue bonds now.
1t cannot be learned that any alternative
course of action has been decided upon
by the Cabinet, in case the free gold in
the Treasury becomes exhausted. The
feeling seemed to be that the emergency
should not be met before it actually ar
rived.
1t is said President Harrison is con-
Vlneed that no necessity will arise for the
sale of bonds to MAINTAIN the parity of
the two metals. He has repeatedly de-
clared that he will maintain the parity bv
every means in his power The Presi-
dent is credited with the belief that the
demand for gold for export is not only
artificial, but in part a scheme, inter
national in scope, having for its object
the issue of bonds. When it becomes ap-
parent that no bonds will be issued, his
opinion is said to be that the deavy drafts
upon the Treasury for gold will cease.

Evidence So Far Points TO Mr.. Thomp-

TERRE HAUTE Qnd.), Feb 2I.-Judge
Patterson, Congressman from Tennessee,
one of the Panama Committee, who was
here yesterday to examine Colonel
Thompson, said,, before returning to
Washington to-day: 81 believe from the
evidence so far in hand that whatever
may have been done by bankers and 9TH
ers in connection with the American
Committee, Colonel Thompson was hon
est IN all the transactions he figured in,
and il there is anything crooked he is not
III 1t. His makeup is not that of a job
Der, but won't say there have not been
jobs and crookedness and great extrava-
gance on this side of the water"
Congressman Storer of Ohio said: "The
evidence showed that the bankers were
engaged in an effort to form syndicate
among themselves to buy up the assets
of the Panama Railroad Company and
sell the road to the canal company, so as
to have things both coming and going.
These bankers received vast sums an
nually from the Panama Company for
doing practically nothing. Colonel
Thompson does not pretend to know what
they did to receive the large sum of $780,
600 each per year, making a total of
81 100000 during eight years. 1t was moth
ing less than robbery"

ppeClal 10 the tSECORD-U MON.
LEECHBURG (Pa.), Feb. 2l.-This town
was thrown into the most intense excite
ment this evening by an attempted bank
robbery and the murder of prominent
citizen in attempting to capture the
burglars. One of them was captured and
narrowly escaped lynching.
Boys saw five men trying to force an
entrance into one of the back windows of
the Leechburg Bank building. They
gave the alarm to Constable Collars, S. S.
Mccullough and Councilman William
Schaef1er. The three men hurried 10 the
building. Just as they arrived one of the
burglars came out and was ordered to
surrender. The burglar drew revolver
and fired. Schaefler fell dead, shot
through the heart. Mccullough returned
the fire, and while the shooting was going
on great number of people collected.
The man who shot Councilman Schaef-
FER was caught and hurried to the lock-
up. At least 100 citizens formed them
selves into posse and started after the
other men.
The murderer was locked up and the
prison surrounded by crowd of armed
men and threats OF lynching freely in
dulged in, but cooler heads prevailed and
the crowd dispersed.
But little can be learned about the gang
that did the business. 1t is certain the
second burglar was wounded and the
chances of his capture are good, as the
whole town is securing the country for
him.

New YORK, Feb. 21.-It is reported
this morning that the Pacific Mail.
through c. p. Huntington, has affirmed
the statement that some terms will be
agreed to with the Panama Railway for
through traffic TO the Pacific Coast. To
this General John Newton is reported to
have said he knew no change in the rela-
tions OF the two companies which prom
ised prompt settlement of the difficult
ties. j. B. Houston said to-day the state
ment of Huntington was based on the
necessity of an agreement. ''If,'' he con-
tinued, ''the terms are not made, both
companies will suffer losses so great as
to bring about, probably, a condition of
affairs which will compel an agreement.
The terms asked by the Panama Com
pany at present." added Houston, ''are
impossible for US. When a member of
that company said lately that the major
ity of the directors of this company
favored the acceptance of the terms
offered us he was mistaken. No one at
the meeting of the Pacific Mail Directors
favored the contract submitted by the

THE MONETARY CONFERENCE.
Report of the American Delegates Sub

Report of the American Delegates SUBJ
mitted to the Senate.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.-The President
to-day sent to the Senate the report of the
American delegates 10 the International
Monetary Conference. After referring to
the programme of the United States.
which was discussed in all its phases, the
delegates refer to the report of the com
mittee of twelve, which reported affirma-
lively upon one proposition-that it was
wise to withdraw from the monetary
circulation all gold coins and all paper
money redeenlable in gold of less de-
nomination than 81, 20 francs or 90
marks, and substitute silver money for
them.
In the discussion of the various propo-
sitions, the attitude of nearly all Govern
ments was disclosed. The recognition
was general in the conference that the
monetary evil required remedy.
After citing copiously from speeches
made, the delegates say: 1.-The confer
ence is to reconvene on the 30th of Nav,
1893. In the meantime, it is expected
that the proposition and plans already
submitted, and such others as may be
submitted to the President OF the con-
vention, and by him transmitted to the
several Governments through their dele
gates, will be considered. 1t is antici-
pated that the delegates, upon the reas-
sembling of the conference. will be able
to state definitely the views of their
Governments as TO what plans are practi-
cable to secure the greater use of silver
as part of the metallic money of the
world"
In concluding, the report the delegates
say they were glad to bear testimony to
the earnest wish of the conference that a
plan for the enlarged use of silver money
was acceptable to the nations, and
