night that Bland would be ready to in
troduce in the House today his silver
bill. and that the speaker had agreed to
recognize him for that purpose Bland's
intended bill. il is said, puts first the
free coinage of silver at a ratio to be de
termined later. and provides for the re
pea. OF the purchasing clause of the
Sherman act. II has not deyeloped thus
far tins morning whether Bland will at
tempt to carry out the arrangement.
Everything is SO much at skies and
sesens IN the ranks of the silver men
that prearransed plans are liable to be
upset at the last moment.
The committee. appointed by the chair
man oi the House silver caucus yester-
Gay, arranged to meet this morning in
the Judiciary committee rooms to carry
out the instructions to frame bill and
outline plan of campaign. 1t will be

ratio. There being no rules in the House
at present. the silver men intend to get
their bill in as early as possible. so as to
secure Whatever advantage may follow
from being first on the list of measures
before the House.
The Senate finance committee this
morning discussed the silver question
informally IN connection with the various
bills referred to II. but decided to take
no action on any of them today.

Republicans Elect Their Ticket
I'm st. Louis.

CHICAGO, April 6.-The claim of the
Republicans that they would elect their
candidate for mayor Of Chicago was
evidently not well founded. The latest
and nearly complete RETURNS show Car
ter Harrison's election bv - ut 10, 900
plurality, and the b9.as ) OF the
ticket by about the same M. iarity. The
beautiful weather brought mt nearly
all the voters and the result was a large
poll for a municipal election, although
the vote did not exceed that of last
November. The contest for the
Worlds Fair Mayoralty
was of extreme bitterness. Mr..
Harrison, who represents the regular
Democracy, secured the nomination by
defeating Washington Messing, editor
OF The Stats Zeitung, who bolted the
convention. The Democratic news
papers, excepting only the Times, which
is owned by Mr.. Harrison, were in
favor of Mr.. Hessing's candidacy and
upon his defeat by Mr.. Harrison, gave
their support to the Republican aud
Citizens candidate, Samuel w. Aller-
ton, who was nominated q few days
later. Since Mr.. H~arrison's nominal
ton, however, two afternoon papers
have come to his support and waged
vigorous warfare upon the ..Allerton

Eating Several Meals . Day.

When, as rarely happens, English
farm laborers come to this country, they
find II extremely difficult to accommo-
date themselves to the current American
custom Of eating but three meals a day.
An English maidservant and nurse, who
lived to be more than 100 years old,
averred that she had always been accus-
toned to "a dew bit and breakfast, q
stray bit and dinner, a nommet, a crum-
met, and a bit after supper" Extra
meals are common enough during the
harvest season in this country. The hasty
breakfast at $50 in the morning is fol-
lowed by a STRAY bit" at 0 o'clock and
by a luncheon between the MONDAY din
ner and the after sunset supper. In parts
OF southern Pennsylvania the dinner

RALEIGH. ~. c., April 6.-The great
est forest fires ever known in Moore
and Richmond counties, are raging in
the heart of the Long Leaf pine district.
The trees had just been bored and
thousands of them are destroyed. Many
people owning %turpentine orchards are
ruined. One man lost 2.OO0 acres of
trees. The fire swept upon the town of
West End and nearly wiped it out.
Three large stores, with the entire
stocks, the postofice and several dwell
ings were burned. At least IL turpen-
tine distilleries and scores of dwellings
scattered throughout the woods were
burned and the rails of the Aberdeen
and West End railroad are so badly
warped that trains cannot run. Great
quantities OF resin were burned, 1000
barrels at West. End alone.
