UNCLE SAM PRAIS

-
The United States has held
the chief place of interest in
English minds this week with
the prospect of still further at
tention in the coming week.
The London weeklies, which
usually attack America upon
the slightest excuse, have had
nothing but praise for Cleveland,
striving one with another in an
andeavor to say agreeable things
about his message.
For instance, the Saturday
Review, after ridicuiing the
House of Commons discussion
On the silver question, says:
"Now Cleveland's message is
one of the most luminous and
convincing state papers we have
seen, and if it is his own work
proves that he has the qualities
)f financial and commercial
minister in a high degree. If
here are persons to whom the
American silver question has
hitherto been a mystery, they
ave only to read Mr.. CLEvE-
LANDs message. 1t puts the
facts and their meaning with
absolute Clearness and in Ian
guage so simple that there can
be no difficulty in apprehending
its meaning on the part of the
least trained reader"
The rise of the Bank of Eng
lands rate from 3 to 4 per cent,
was the first indication to many
inanciers that, the American cri-
sis was to be transferred to Eng
land. The rate will have to 90
much higher if the drain OF gold
from England to America is to
Il
get as much relief as she expect
ed from the continent, because
rates are going up there. She
will be hard put to it in the
next two weeks. Financial mat
tiers in India are far from salts
factory, and the great coal strike
seems to be on to stay.-World,

B "A ft u
When Tie SUMMER breezes have died
away,
And the Autumn winds are drear,
Aud the forests have changed their
green array,
For the hues q the dying year;
There comes z season, brief and bright
When the zephyrs breathe with a
gentle swell,
And the sunshine plays with softer
light,
Like the summers last farewell.
The brilliant dyes OF the Autun n
woods
Have gladdened the forest bowers,
And decked their painless solitudes,
Like blooming waste OF flowers;
In the hidden depths no sound is
heard,
Save low and murmuring wall,
As the rustling leaves are gent v
stirred
By the breath OF the dying gale.
The hazy clouds in the mellow light,
Fast with the breeEes fly,
Where the far-of mountains misty
height
Seems mingling with the sky;
Aud the dancing streams rejoice
again
In the glow of the golden sun;
, AID the fiocks are glad in the grassy
plain
Where the sparkling waters run.
! IT'S a season of deep and quiet thought
I And it brings calm to the breast !;
4 And the broken heart, and he mind
\ o'erwrought,
May find in it's stiffness rest;
For'tlie gentle voice of the dying year.
From forest and sunny plain,
Is sweet as it falls on the mourner's ear
And the spirit forgets its pain.
Yet over all is mantling gloom,
That saddens the gasers heart;
For soon shall the Autumn's varied
bloom
From the forest trees depart:
The bright leaves whirl in the eddy
ing air,
Their beautiful tints are fading fast,
The mountain tops will soon be bare
And the Indian Summer past.

ment We're necessary if the
greater part OF the district was
to be saved, notified Chief Mar
shall SwENIE OF the condition OF
affairs, and 25 engines were
started down from the main por-
ton of the city as soon as posi-.
BILE The largest fireboat Yose-
mite, was also hurriedly started
out on 13 mile trip to the
burning section. Before it had
reached the harbor at South
Chicago the fire had eaten away
five blocks between Superior
avenue and the lake, and the
Yosemite turned it's attention to
the immense lumber yards on
the river front. By the tin e
additional engines began to pull.
in from Chicago another danger
was encountered in the veerine
of the wind, which started the
FIRE toward a new district. Be-
tween the river and the district
in which the flames originated
extend immense lumber yards
and lumber docks along the
Calumet river and harbor. The
burned territory is just north OF
the business center of South
Chicago, and was given almost
exclusively to residences. Fire
sprang from the ruins of the
GILES house to the cottage ad-
joining on West street and
brands were carried to the build
ing at the corner of Buffalo ave-
nue. and West. The blaze spread
north and south on Buffalo ave-
nue., while the original fire ragged
along Ninety-frst street and
Superior avenue south was be-
coming a perfect tornado OF
flames.
Before the dozens of engines
had made much Roadway the
immense docks of the Sunday
Creek Coal Company were burn
ing. Over 100000 tons of coal
were stored in these immense
bins, and the fire boat Yosemite
brought to bear all its powerful
streams in an endeavcr to head
off the flames. A. R. Beck lum-
Der yards were seen to be burn
ing and now the real great bat
tie of the fremen with the flames
began. From this time on the
forces of fireman gradually in
creased and the flames were
gradually brought under con-
troll. By 8 o'clock the work of
nearly forty engines, besides the
fire boat, had told, end the coal
in the Sunday Greek Coal docks
and Beck's lumber yards were
the only places where the fire
was still uppernost ahd in a
short time it was practically un-
der control there.
Then the panic-stricken peo-
pie began to return to where
their homes had stood, but in
very few instances were they able
to find any signs of them. Most
of the buildings destroyed were
light frame affairs and were &C.
cupied almost exclusively by
workmen of the Illinois Steel
Company.
Conservative estimates put the
aggregate loss in the residence
district at 100000; the Sunday
Greek Coal Company's loss will
$3.50, 900 and Beck Lumber Com
pany 100000. The latter con-
Germ recently made an assignment
and had just resumed business
after making arrangements with
the creditors. The number of
homeless people is variously es-
timated at from 1000 to 5000,
but it is thought this figure is
little exaggerated. Despite the
rapidity with which the flames
spread and the confusion
which prevailed no lives were
lost as far as known tonight. |

a manufacturing district, the |
