SILVER PURCHASES.

The Treasury VIII Have to Get q Move

WASHINGTON, July 12.-It looks very
much as if the treasury OF the United
States would be compelled to do some
active work in order to carry out the
provisions Of the Sherman law this
month. July is now almost half gone,
and still the treasury has purchased only
a fraction more than 16 per cent Of the
O0,000 ounces prescribed. The price
paid when the June purchases were
completed was 1922 cents per ounce.
July 7th 100000 ounces was taken at 72
cents; next day $685. 900 ounces at 1913
was accepted; 100000 ounces purchased
Monday at 71.5 cents completes the
purchases 90 far this month.
The director of the mint today made q
counter proposition on $4,000 ounces
offered at prices ranging from 72 to 1876
cents. in which he agreed to take silver
at716.
The gold reserve today increased $780,

WORLDS FAIR HOLOCAUST.
The List OF Victims of the Fire Still
INCREASES.

The List OF Victims of the Fire Still
INCREASES.
CHICAGO, July 13.-The list of victims
OF the worlds fair holocaust still In
creaaes. This afternoon another body
was recovered from the ruins of the cold
storage building, swelling the death
total TO 10, with large area of debris
still unexplored. The remains recovered
this afternoon were those of Ralph A.
Drummond, constructing engineer of
the cold storage company. 1t is known
that at least two or three, and probably
half dozen, more bodies are yet in the
ruins, as Michigan capitalist, an anna
teur elevator boy and columbian guard
are still missing. 1t appears probable
that the families OF the victims of the
fire will not want for the necessities OF
life, as up to this afternoon $12, 1926 was
subscribed and subscriptions are coming
in rapidly. 1t is hoped the total may
be swelled to 100000.
Search in the ruins of the cold storage
warehouse for more bodies ie continu-
Gus. The mass of twisted iron and rods
makes the work slow, and it will proba-
bly not be completed before the end of
the week, notwithstanding the fact that
huge derrick has been erected to facil-
itate the work. 1t was rumored last
night that IL more bodies were discov-
cred In the debris, but this proved un-
true this morning, when it was discov-
cred that the carcasses were those of
sheep which had been in cold storage.
The meats and vegetables in the ware
house are already beginning to taint and
turn sour, and 1t is feared they will be-
come very offensive, if not dangerous to
health, before they can be removed.
Already the odor is becoming extremely
disagreeable, and the men find it diff
cult to work steadily in the rufus.
It is now believed Robert Blenhuber,
a capitalist of Marquette, Mich, is
among the victims Of the fire trap. He
was interested in the cold storage, and
the morning of the fire told friends with
whom he was stopping that he intended
to spend the day in the cold storage
pavilion; has not been seen since.
Louis J. Frank, fireman who jumped
from the tower, died this evening in the
hospital in the fair grounds.

vate dispatch from Chicago contradicts
the report that Robert Blenhuber of this

SAN Francisco, July 12.-The state
ment is printed here, based upon a
letter from an English army officer to q
wealthy Englishman sojourning in San
Francisco, that contingency orders have
been issued to the fifth battalion of the
royal rife brigade, now at Davenport,
England, to hold itself in readiness to
proceed to Victoria for colonial station
duty. The battalion numbers 1000 men
and is one of the best organized and
most efficient in the British service.
The letter further says the powerful
British ship Minotaur has also
been specially commanded to do
duty at Esquimault, and the
commander of the ship has been
appointed naval commandaut. The
commander OF the royal brigade has
been made commander of the Esqui-
mault station, succeeding thu dockyard
superintendent and Colonel Pryor OF
the Canadian forces, who has heretofore
held both posts. Two battalions of the
royal marine artillery are also under
OtQCfo lOl ot0bioA ouey ou ASoOAAos 1tAN
the Canadian authorities are said to be
devising measures to overhaul and put
Esquimault harbor in more complete
defensible condition.
The British officer writes his friend to
inquire about the climate and general
situation and manner of living at Es-
quimault, and seems to intimate
that this sudden activity on the
part of the British authorities has
direct connection with the Bering sea
controversy. From the tone and lam
guage of the letter the San Francisco
Englishman believes that England an
ticipates an unfavorable termination to
the Bering sea arbitration, and proposes
to place herself in position to defend
and enforce what she considers her
rights in the seal properties.
The recent arrival of the war vesse
Royal Arthur at Esquimault, with Ad
miral Stevenson aboard, and these un
usual movements of British iorces
appear to lend some tinge of probability
to the story.
