WINES OF THE WEST.
Mr.. WetmOre Expects to Come
Home With a Load of Medals.
What VIII Come Of Having an I'm
prejudiced and Competent Judge
at the Fair.

CHICAGO, Oct. 2.-There were no special
features at the Worlds Fair to-day. The
weather was gloomy and fine mist fell.
making outdoor movements extremely dis
agreeable.
Charles Oldham, official represen tative
of the Royal British Commission, is
actively engaged in testing California wines
at the Worlds Fair. The task Is a. large
one, as the wine exhibit Of the Golden
Slate is an extensive one.
"When we get through at the Fair we
will have Christmas tree full Of medals
and diplomas" said Mr.. Weimore. who is
in charge of the exhibit. to-day. 'We do
not care for this. We want a critical ex-
animation Of our goods and a fair and i'm
partial report of them. The medals and
diplomas represent nothing. What the
exhibitors of California want is a scien-
tific report of their wares, and through
Mr.. Oldham we are sure of getting 1t. MIR.
Oldham is wine-merchant of London and
is competent to render scientific and In
teligent report on the improvements
which we have made in viticulture."
In addition to the examination by Old
ham Professor II. w. Wiley. chief chemist
of the United States Department Of Agri-
culture, has consented to make a thorough
examination of the wines, and he began
TO- day and will spend some time at IT.. His
report will relate principally to the purity
Of the wine. The juries appointed to test
wines at the exposition are not regarded
with much favor by most foreigners. Sew
eral foreign nations, including France and
Austria, have represen tatives on the
ground who will make separate reports to
their commissions. France has three ex-
perts, and they will! in all likelihood test
the California wines as we'll as those OF
their own country.
Ten thousand dollars worth of furs
were stolen from the Russian section OF
the Manufactures building of the Worlds
Fair Saturday night. There is no clew to
the thieves.
The rain continued throughout the day.
accompanied by high winds. and made the
day as whole one of the most disagree
able yet experienced. "
There was reception In the Wo mans
building this afternoon in honor of the
Queen Of Siam, who sent to Mrs. Potter
Palmer an embroidered and richly orna-
mented album, the ornamentaton of the
book being the Queens own work.
At special meeting of the Worlds Fair
Directors this evening it was decided to
admit children under IA and over years
of age for 10 cents each, beginning OCTOBER
10. Children under will be admitted
free.
The total admissions to-day were 156, 800.
of which 127.921 paid.

UNDER HOT WALLS
How Brave Firenen Met
Their Death.
IN A RAGING SEA OF FIRE.
The Flames Leaped Beyond Con-
troll in an Instant.
OMAHA's CHIEF THEATER GONE.
Stagehands Were Setting a Scene
When Gas Jet lgnited Piece
of Painted Canvas.

OMAHA, Nebr., Oct. 2.-While the stage
hands at the Farnham Theater were set
ting the scenery for prod of ''The
Waits of New York." just before 5 O'Clock
this afternoon. piece of canvas caught
fire from gasjet. and in a very short space
of time the whole inside of the theater
was roaring mass OF flames. The fire
department was summoned aud the men
had a terrific struggle. the flames not being
brought under control unit! after O'Clock.
The firemen were greatly hampered at trst
by the network Of wires outside the build
ing, and 1t was not until force OF electric
light Iinemen cut them that effective work
was accomplished. Thev were also trou-
bled during the height Of the fire by alarms
from five other sections of the city, neces-
stating the withdrawal of portions of the
force, one fire at Twenty-seventh and
Leavenworth streets being serious one.
The theater WAS a fve-story structure,
and while the fire burned most fercely
the back wall fell out, badly damaging the
building in the rear and fatally inluring
j. Nj. Gaymor and painfully wounding a
number of other men. In the swaying
crowd many were knocked down and
trampled on, but no one was seriously hurt.
Inside the theater two fremen were badly
injured by the falling in of the dome over
the stage. The theater was owned by the
American Loan and Trust Company and
was valued at S250,0OO and insured for
$4,000. The loss to the owners of the
theatrical company is abou. $500, and the
members of the company lose all their be-
longings. A singular point is that the
only piece of property saved was the fire
engine used in the play, which had not yet
been taken on the stage.
While the firemen were working about
the ruins at about 9 o'clock the west wall
fell without warning, burying three fire.
men under heap of brick. They we're
rescued as quickly as possible. Captain
John Mcbride and Pipeman James Downs
were fatally hurt, and Piprman Thomas
Ruene was painfully cut and bruised. Of
the firemen injured when the rear wall
fell James Mattson will likely die. John
Scott aud John Simpson sustained painful
burns and cuts. but were not seriously
hurt.
At midnight it was Just discovered that
the. body of Albert Jerome. a pipeman,
was under the fallen west wall. The
ground floor of the theater building was
occupied by the store of William Moller,
a confectioner; Snow, Lund & Co.. drug
gists, and Allen Spaugh, ticket broker.
The upper floors in front were occupied
by various dental offices and law Offices.
In the basement were saloons and bath
rooms. The losses. with that of the thea
ter. will aggregate nearly $500, 600, partly
covered by insurance.

LONDON, Oct. IA private cabiegram

terday, resulting in further damage to the
city and great loss of life. Details as to
the amount Of damage and: the number
killed ashore and afloat are n OF given, but
it is presumed, from the fact that the firing
was kept up all day, that the losses must
have been considerable. on both sides.
The cablegram adds that famine prices for
provisions prevail In Rio.'
On the other hand the Brazilian Min
ister here furnishes the following dispatch,
under date Of yesterday, giving the Gov
ernment side: THE insurgent squadron
is still in tire bay, much weakened by de-
sertiens. Daily. some vessels are damaged
by the shore artillery. The forts yigor-
ously answered yesterday bonn bardment.
Two steamers which escaped have been
repulsed at Santos. At Santa CatariHa
they failed TO land. The troops are united
and loyal to the Government. Public
opinion is opposed to the insurgents"
| MoNTEvIDEo Oct. 2--The blockade of
Rio and Santos by the Brazilian insurgents
still continues. President Peixoto is; te-
termined to resist until the last.
l. NEW YORK. Oct '2.-The Herald's Mon
tevide6 correspondent, spea king. of the
resumption of the bonn bardment Of Rio de
Janeiro. says: The censorship of the Bra
lillian Government is such that it is impos-
.sible to get any Telegraph news out A
letter has been received. however. giving
the story of events up to September %. g
He says that while the Government made
every effort to conceal the facts it is known
that twenty persons were killed during the
BON bardment, the greatest loss of life be-
ing in Nictheroy.
| Aside from this there was tremendous
damage done to property.
Not much damage was done by shots
fired. when the ships went to Santos. and
the rebels soon. proceeded to Sauta Cath
arina to establish Mello,s headquarters at
that port. If they succeed in creating a
stronghold there a long civil war will en-
sue. Peixoto's: Government is becoming
more unpopular and retains power through

(R.) OF Colorado, Washburn said he re-
ferred to the States OF Washington and
Wyoming.
II would like the Senator from Mime
sota," said Dubois. ITO state by what
authority he makes that assertion"
by the authority of the Senators them
Selves" said Washburn.
81 imagine those Senators will resent
that imputation." said Dubois. II state
that the Senators from Washington
(Squire) and Wyoming Carey are not for
the unconditional repeal OF the Sherman
law. The Senator from Washington has
offered an amendment in the interest of
silver"
"The Senator from Washington (Squire)
told me-" Washburn declared, "that he
would vote for the unconditional repeal of
the purchasing cause of tho Sherman
act"
This closed the incident. and Kyle (Pop.)
of South Dakota addressed the Senate
in opposition to the repeal bill. he
ridcuIed the idea that with free
coinage the United States could be flooded
with silver. On the contrary, 1t was
doubtful whether the future yield Of silver
increase in the currency.
Mcmillan of Michigan then addressed
the Senate in favor Of repeal. Inter-
national bmetallism being out of the ques-
tion for the present, he said, this country
should use all the silver possible without
departing from a gold standard. Gold
should be held primarily foT use in paying
foreign balances, and to this end plan o t
international gold currency. based on the
actual deposits of gold in the sub-treasury
at New York and in the national banks of
other countries. should be adopted, GER
tificates of deposit to be transferable by
telegraph and balances to be paid through
all international clearing house. In dis
cussing money as a basis of credits, be
showed that national banks were in the
habit of reducing reserves far below the
safety point and favored law absolutely
prohibiting a national bank from paying
or receiving interest on deposits. He also
favored the convertible-bond plan of ex-
changing bonds for currency in order to
obtain ready money in times of crisis or
panic.
The House bill extending the time for
completing the work of the eleventh census
was passed and the consideration Of the
repeal bill resumed.
Dolph of Oregon took the floor to give
his views as to the real cause of the busi-
ness and financial trouble, which he said
was fear of hostile legislation. In the
course of his remarks Dolph said that If
the Minneapolis platform had been be-.
lieved to mean free coinage the Republi-
can party would have been buried and
damned beyond hope of resurrection.
ANY worse than it is now?" asked Tel
ler. and Dolph ignored the question in the
general laughter which followed.
After a short executive session the Sem
ate adjourned.

SOMETHING MUST BE DONE.
Pennsylvania Anxious for Solution
of the Currency Problem.

PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 2.-The closing of
many Industrial establishments in this city
and the resistant Wholesale discharges of
working people are causing great uneasi-
ness In business circles and to-day the ad-
visibility of calling mass-meetng of the
various exchanges and pettioning the
Senate to take speedy action on the silver
question is discussed.
Although such a meeting may not be
held, the gravity of the situation Is none
the less apparent, and leading manufac-
turers and other business men are using
their personal influence with members of
the Senate to secure a solution of the cur
rency problem. The effect of the financial
crisis has been remarkable in this city. and
it is feared that unless speedy relief is OBJ
tanned many more large industrial estab-
lsnments will be shut down. A careful
canvass Of number Of large mills shows
that of 10000 people usually employed
q, 600 are idle.

SOME FURTHER ORDERS.
The Treasury Department Rules ir
John Chinaman'S Favor.


WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-Assistant Secre-
tary OF the Treasury Hamln has issued a
circular to Collectors and other officers OF
customs modifying the instructions con-
tanned in the Treasury Department crcu-
lar dated August 1. 1891, end issued to
Collectors of Customs at ports where Chi
nese first arrive In the United States.
These instructions required Collectors to
cancel certificates and retain the same on
their files. BY the mod fications ordered
by the Assistant Secretary, Collectors are
instructed to deliver such certificates to
persons presenting the same after indOrs-
ing on the face thereof in red ink the
name Of the passenger, name OF the vessel.
date of arrival and the signature of the
Collector, and to cancel them by punching
or otherwise in such manner as to preclude
their furth er use.
Los ANGELES, Oct. 2.-Judge Ross to-
day ordered the deportation Of five China
men from Florence and vicinity. In the
case of one Chinaman 1t was proved that
he kept a hotel. The evidence in his case
was so contradictory that Judge Ross took
the case under advsement.
These are the Cinnamon against whom 3
riot broke out in Florence few weeks
ago over the matter Of picking grapes.
The people Of Florence will get revenge by
having them deported.
SAN DIEGO, Oct. 2.-Charley All Him,
a noted Chinsman of Los Angeles, who
has been at the bottom of most OF the
crimes committed by the Chinese of that
city and vicinity. was arrested here this
evening by Harry Johnston, Deputy
United States Marshal OF Los Angeles,

Johnston had been in the city since Sat-

his arrival and secreted the man wanted.

EMBARRASSED MR.. WHITE.
The Senator From California Used a
Forged Quotation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 2.-The Senate was
called to order this morning at the usual
hour, but had to wait for quorum. 1t
then proceeded with the routine morning
business.
Sherman called attention to misstate-
ment in a recent speech of Senator White
of California. quoting from the Bankers
Magazine as to The coinage act of 1873.
There was no such statement in the Bank
ers' Magazine, he said, and. the whole
statement was manufactured lie from
beginning TO end. 1t was worse than
forgery, and the absolute fabrication was
branded with the brand of infamy. He
did not blame the Senator from
California, because the alleged article
from the magazine had frequently been
quoted by Others.
White said he had taken the extract
from a work written by very prominent
Republican. and hadn0t himself examined
the Bankers Magazine. If the extract was
not correct be would omit it from the later
edition of his speech.
j. The silver-purchase repeal bill was then
taken MP, and Dubois (R.) of Idaho. rising
to personal statement, called attention to
a remark by German Of Maryland that the
resolution introduced by Dubois to defer
consideration of financial legislation until
the Senatorial vacancies from the States Of
Washington. Montana and Wyoming were
filed, was offered for the purpose of con-
suming time. Dubois denied this as his
motive. He had introduced the resolution
In the interest of the three States referred
to, and justified the introduction of the
resolution by a precedent which occurred
some years ago.
Washburn {R., of Minnesota supposed
the object of the resolution was to show
that the opponents of repeal were being
taken at an unfair advantage. He would
therefore state the facts and allow the
Senate to reach its own conclusion. OF
tba three States In question two were not
silver-producing States, and those two
States were represented In the Senate by
two Senators who favored repeal of the
Sherman law.
In response to the question of Wolcott
