BEAVER. Pa, Nov. 2l.-At Merrill
Station ON the Cleveland and Pittsbure
road, at 4 80 this morning, Bradley &
Kaener,s three-story hotel, in which
many men employed on the new dam
boarded, was burned to the ground.
Many jumped from second and third

bruised and burned.
A census OF the boarders after the fire
was out, showed the following missing :
Jerry Wrenn, stonemsson. and con,

Five bodies were taken from the ruins
so badly charred that they cannot be
identified.
The bodies of James Hughes and
James P. Miller, lsbofers, have been re-
covered from the ruins, both burned to

floors awoke from sound sleep. Bewil.

Sr. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 21.-United
States Senator G. K. Davis, member OF
the Senate committee on foreign affairs,
today took strong grounds on the
Hawaiian matter in an interview with
Minneapolis Tribune representative.
He said; 1.-THE whole business has
been conducted with deal of mystery
bv the present administration. The
public does not yet know what Willis
instructions were or what he has done.
II the surmise 10 correct, Willis has
been com mmissioned to interfere in the
concerns OF Hawaii to reinstate the
queen, an interference with the affairs
of an independent nation without a
shadow OF warrant OF international
law"
As to the report that United Statea
naval forces will be used to depose the
provisional government, the senator be-
lieved such an act would constitute an
act of war. Such an act by the presi-
dent, without the authority OF congress,
would be a distinct usurpstion OF
power" said be.
Senator Davis speaks strongly in favor

CH1cAeo, Nov. 21.-An afternoon

OF the doings Of the man or men dubbed
''Jack the Slasher," who has been going
about entering houses. cutting up car
pets, curtains, pouring lard in pianoa,
and the like. The police are utterly
at sea as 10 his identity. Today
newspaper received letter
purporting to come from the miscreants,
declaring that before being captured the
slashers would have done something to
make themselves memorable. The let
ter added that not only would the White
House be thoroughly slashed, but that
President Cleveland would be sashed
before they got through with their
work. and that all the detec-
t;ves and guards that might be
put around the White House would
not save him. 1t stated further that
when this was done they would burn
the town. The letter is credited as a
genuine communication from the
slasher, who is either criminal of ex-

the house in harmony with the wishes of

necessarily to an agreement he has made,
the democratic policy aud the democratic
policy, he believes, is that which has been
determined upon as tho best by the ad-
ministration.
Whether Bland goes 10 the head of the
coinage committee or not, that committee
will favor tho unconditional repeal of the
Sherman act. As 10 Bland himself, il is
not yet determined that he will again be
chairman. That rests largely with him
self II he is appointed chairman, a ma
jority Of his committee will not be in
sympathy with his free coinage senti-
ments. The leading committees OF the
house all will be i'm accord with the presi-
dents views. la other words the house OF
the 53rd congress will be differently organ
ized from the house of the Sud congress.
Crisp has expressed his purpose to
members of the administration to SO or
ganize his committees that they will be
helpful 20 the presidents wishes. Crisp
could not be elected without n contest,
aud possibly not at all. il he had not been
thus inclined FOR unity of action with the
administration. Besides changes in the
coinage committee. there will be radical
changes in the complexion of the ways

DENVER, July 29.-The city was quiet

ployed will not occur. Ihars are no signs
of agitation to-day, although the supcrin-

titioned tho city. county and state autbori-
ties to afford his road protection against
the crowds dcsirous of going East. The
company is willing 10 carry a moderate
number OF persons, but objects to hauling
train loads. No action was taken by the
authorities. One thousand persons were
fed to-day at Camp Relief. About 800 left
on the different roads.
At a meeting of the relief committee to-
night IL was resolved to discontinue Camp
Relief next Thursday evening. II was
also resolved that the transportation COM
mittee should not issue any further tick
cts to those desiring to go East, but be-
ginning tomorrow morning, those going
will have to pay full fare. The above ac.
tion was caused by the decision of the city
council to begin at once upon public i'm.

very few exhibitors have made any pro-

GERMAN AFFAIRS.
Commercial War with Russia y Wiihei m
ON Engiaad-The R-ichstag.

BERLIN. July .9.-It is generally held
here that the tariff war started between
Russia and Germany Is more likely TO
cause damage TO the former country than
to the latter. II seems that Russia. in APP
plying the maximum tariff on German
products. was mainly influenced by the
uufavorable early reports regarding the
harvest prospects in Germany. These re-
ports, il is said. led Russia to believe that
Germany, desiring Russian grain ETC.,
would not re,aliatc for the imposition by
Russia of the highest tariff on imported
German products. The condition OF Ger
man crops. however, especially wheat and
rye, has greatly improved.
A remarkable change has occurred
within the past Few days in the tone OF
the German press and public converse
tion in regard To the Franco-Siamcso i'm
broglio. Germany began to realize that
she would he seriously affected in event of
a blockade of the Siamese coast, as next
To England she controls the greater part
of the trade with Sam. Communications
were exchanged with Great Britain, and
Germany had decided upon the line of
conduct that she would pursue should
German vessels be interfercd with by
French war ships in Siamcsc waters. Cen
cral satisfaction was expressed to-day
when il was known that France had with
drawn the notification of tho blockade.
An interesting comment, made by Em'
pcror William prior TO his departure from
KEEL for the Isle of Wight, is reported
According Ia a member of his majesty S
suite, n discussion was going on between
high officials and the emperor as tn the
possible outcome of the French dispute
with Siam. when his majesty remarked
that England was not strong enough tc
assert herself against any European power
or against the United States. He further
declared that IL ever she was brought into
conflict with any of these nations, the he
lief in her formidable strength and hcI
reputation ns queen of the seas would
bust like n soap bubble.
