| brewing company and the railroad com
pany declaring they are willing to test
the matter in the courts.
There are no new developments in
whiskey legislation. Cd dealers are
much encouraged by Judge Hudson's de-
f.. cision at Darlington that the dispe nsary
act is unconstitutional for tie reason
that in taking the business of individ-
uals the state has created monopoly
for itself. Incidentally Judge Hudson
decided that railroads are not RESPONSE
BILE for bringing whi key into the state
from the outside; that when the sale of
liquor is prohibited by state law cit
izen cannot cell it, but if it is property
| railroads can deliver to him.
DENVER, July IO.-Col. james III. Plstt
was shown copy of the dispatch to
the Associated Press from Chicago to-
day, IN which Senator Sherman denies
the charges that the bill demonetiziDg
silver In 1873 was struggled through
| congress without debate, or the kuowl-
edge of either house. Mr.. Platt said:
There is no issue of veracity be-
tween Mr.. Sherman and myself, 1t is
entirely between Mr.. Sherman and the
congressional record. He will not deny
that the eleven words which took away
from silver its minting privilege we're sd-
ded to the bill by the conference
committee, or claim that the repeal of
freelcoinage. which these words caused.
had ever been discussed or suggest I'D in
either house of the Fcrty- second con-
gress, or referred to his committee.
"Neither will he claim that in present
ing the report to the senate, after those
| words had been added by the conference
committee, he or any one else called
attention to the addition, or that Mr..
Cooper, of Massachusetts,, in presenting
the report to the house, alluded in any
| way to this most important amendment,
although of far more importance than
all the rest of the bill.
eff Mr.. Sherman would kindly explain
how the conference committee were
Induced to insert these words, or by
whom they were suggested, and Why
having added an amendment Of such
momentous temperance, be did not call
tho attention of the senate to it, the
country would be deeply gratifed, and
| it would have much more effect than
calling names. l did not charge Mr.
Sherman with having taken advantage
of his knowledge for speculative pur-
poses | did say that the few men who
knew that the minting privilege had been
taken from silver had great oppor-
tunity for speculation, but | did not
charge that they took advantage Of it,
"rhe congressional record is on file
at every public library; anyone who
cares to know the truth of this matter
has only to take the record ard follow
the bill through from ths first introduce
ton to its final passage. In this way
the absolute accuracy of my statement
in the letter to the Journal of July can
bs easily ascertained

of the sights at the city hall hospital,
where the worst of the 10S Injured now
are. Every dwelling now standing can

eight wounded are being kept 10 each.
Little Charles Rus d, a bright four
year-old boy, died at midnight enduring
his terrible wounds to the last heroic

CHICAGO, July IL The center of at
traction at the Worlds fair this morning
was something not down in guide
books.
1t is the ruins of the cold storage build
ing which burned yesterday, resulting
in such fearful loss of life. Ten thous-
and people gathered around the debris
this morning. Early this morning the
charred remains o. three more unfor- |
tunates were recovered from the ruins. |
THREE BODIES, NOT FIREMEE.
1t is not believed they are fremen
owing to the locality in which they
were found. One of the bodies had on |
leather belt carrying a pair of plyers.
1t is believed the victim was an electric
light man. This discovery opens the
question as to how many persons be-
side the firemen lost their lives in the
burned building.
The total dead bodies 30 far recovered
numbers fifteen. Search in the ruins
thus far has been very slight, owing to
heat and confusion and there is no
doubt the list is still incomplete.
1t Is thought a number OF visitors
md employees were caught in the
lanes.

morning reveals its fimsy character
