Especial Telegram to The Dispatch)
WILLIAMSBURG. VA. Sept. 6.-The
cry Of fire, about o'clock this morning
brought almost the entire population 10
the streets TO find the restaurant OF Caro-
oline Williamson in a blaze. which soon
communicated to the adjoining houses
On either side. Before the flames could be
gotten under control, six buildings were
consumed The losers are: Anne Washing
tons building, furniture saved: Samuel
Smith. three buildings, with an insurance
In the Virginia Fire and Marine Company
of 5000. placed as follows: Store-house oc-
cupied by Burns d Co, $500 residence of
Smith 500, and a house on Henry street,
occupied by Ellen Fosque. 500 The entire
stock of Burns & Co. was destroyed on
which there was an insurance Of $500 in
the company named.
A CLEAR LOSS.
Mr. Burns, the senior member OF the
firm. placed a clear loss on stock of fully
81, 90. The double house, and the one in
which the fire originated, was owned by
=. Tucker. and was insured for $500, also
placed with the Virginia Fire and Marine
Company. The fire originated in the
second story OF the John Moore building,
caused probably by defective flue or
lamp explosion. and when discovered. the
roof was in flames. The burned district
has been visited to-day by crowds view
ing the blackened ruins.
BY HARD WORK.
1t was only by the hardest work on the
part Of the citizens that the residence OF
Mr.. Charles Il. Dean across Henry street,
was saved from the devouring element, and
had II caught the entire block would
have gone. as the houses are very close
together and are built OF wood.

1t is II fact worth noting that the signs
used by the Indians of North America
are identical in may instances with those
employed by the deaf nutes of today.
A short time ago Il friend of the writer,
who had spent considerable time among
the Indians, but who had never talked
with IA deaf mute before. conversed with
some pupils of the New York institution
by means of signs which he had learned
from the red men. Where are you 60
ing!' and Il am going away on horse
back" We're the same when given by the
deaf mutes and by the visitor.
Another instance showing the sign
language TO be Il universal one was
when the mother of the writer, herself
a deaf person, while attending IL CON
vention of instructors Of the deaf in
France, conversed on various topics
with a mute friend by means Of signs.
The French lady had no knowledge of
the English language, while the Ameri-
can knew hardly Il word of French

WASHINGToN, Feb. 20 Representative
Livingston Of Georgia is preparing and
will introduce a bill on the lines of the
understanding reached yesterday at the
conference between Senator Carlisle and
seventeen democratic members of the
house representing the various elements
Except the radical free coinage mem of
the party on the silver question. The
understanding reached was to sus-
pend silver purchases, to reserve suffi-
cient silver to provide for the re-
demption of outstanding notes issued in
payment Of silver representing a profit
or difference between the purchase price
and the coin value. Out-and-out silver
men say they will fight the proposition
to the death. The anti-silver men claim
by this compromise to have caused
enough men to change their views to
turn the scale in favor of cloture pro-
vlded they could first get another report
from the rules committee and then hold
the votes they obtained last time.

HELENA. Feb. 2l.-Geo. f. lockwood
said tonight there vas absolutely no
truth in the alleged interview between
him and Don Willard. He said he had
a message from Willard stating that it
never took place and that in no CONVEX
satlon between them was there any
mention of securing republican support
for Clark. This story does not agree
with that of Tallant who says Willard
himself told him of the matter as pub
lished in the Standard.

A MILD SENSATION.
Tallant of Cascade Replies to the
Charge of Bribery in the An
acOnda Standard.
lockwood Says There Was Absolutely
No Truth in the Alleged Inter-
view with Don Willard.

HELENA, Feb. 2o.-ISpecial to TIL
TRIBUNE. ETallant, of Cascade, created
ID sensation in the joint assembly toda,
by his reply to the charge of brib,.y il
the Anaconda Standard. Il hardl,
know in what words to express myself
he said, but my..feelings..of justice com.
pei me to speak when the air is 60 fou.
and so full of corruption as that OF
Helena has been for the past few weeks
The Anaconda Standard this morning
says my friend, Don Willard, of Great
Falls, has been approached and was
asked to get n republican whom he
knew to vote for Clark. The matter was
brought to my attention on Saturday by
Willard himself who said that seven re-
publicans had gone to David Cory, my
personal friend, and told him | had
been purchased to vote for Clark and to
see if something could not be done to
keep me from doing so. Mark the
words, that l had been purchased. 1t
would seem that an a%rchangel from
heaven could not have lived in Helena
for the past three weeks without being
besmirched. Such charges against a
man who has been the consistent repub.
llcan that | have and who has never
violated republican principles nor bolted
IA republican nomination! If that lonely
Nazerine had come to Helena and tried
RI lnn,11anta fhn lnofr,na 90 rbr,t.,x.t,
they would have sent him to hell"
Judge Tallant denied the story so far
as he was concerned, and then went on
to defend the other republican members
against whom similar charges had been
made. Il don't believe / cent of the
coin Of the realm has ever been accepted
by these gentlemen" he said. Il know
that it has been offered. Thank God,
none of it has ever been offered me. 1t
relieves me of the responsibility of bring
ing the men who would make the offer
TO the bar of this house or 10 that Of the
supreme court"
In conclusion he asked those who
heard such charges made not to believe
them. For himself he believed the re-
publicans referred to too honest to be
engaged in any such business.
He voted for Mantle.
The ballot resulted: Mantle %, Clark
ia, Dixon Il, Y. III. Carter |, Hunt |.
The house adopted the home-rule reso-
utions which created SO much excite
ment Saturday by yeas 10, nays ).
\ motion to appoint a steering COM
to pick out bills to be acted on
was laid on the table.
Bills were introduced appropriating
$1,000 to the university, school of mines,
agricultural college. and normal school:
also $4,000 for building a deaf and
dumb asylum and 5000 for a site. This
the last day on which appropriation
bills can be introduced. under the CON
stitutional limitation. except for the sup
port OF the government.
The Sweet Grass county bill, the same
was beaten in the senate. was reported
'avorably to the house from the commit
Amendments to the registration bill

low-eyed as the result of the long ant
hopeless siege he has sustained. tie is
always polite and atfable, but it is plair
to the most casual observer that tb,

grim determination that is worthy a bet
ter cause, he goes on from day to day
and from week to week, like the hero Of
a forlorn hope, with nothingness for his
armament and the intangible stimulents
of a dream to buoy him up
on the brink of the slough. He hopes
against hope, like the victim-marked

its false hopes, must fall into the basket

lie, too, looks more lank and thin, and
drawn-out than customary. The I'M

his salary as United States senator that
he ought to be at his post of duty in
Washington instead of here wasting six
ty days OF the peoples time in an I'M
seemly and disgusting squabble for the
continuance of his dignity. The colonel
is a man who is admired and respected
by M~ontanians generally for his services
in early days, and for his ability, but he
can certainly add nothing to his reputa-
ton by hanging around here on the rag
ged edge OF a contest that is no credit to
the state or to the men engaged in it.
Mr.. Dixon, our only congressman is

These gentlemen have done
what is commonly done in such
cases, but it is time for public opinion to
assert Itself in a to render such
neglect OF great public trust out of the
question. Men who are not faithful TO
their duties in one office ought not Ger.
talnly to be entrusted with those of
another.
From every point OF view the senator

and shameful. 1t will be a blot
or all time on the fair name of Mon
