NEBRASKA PRI SON IN DANGER.
A stove and Furnace Company Near by
Consumed by Fire

LINCOLN, NEB, oct. 26.-Between
five and six o'clock this evening word
was sent to the city that the penitentiary
was on fire. The building is four miles
south Of this city, but the fire department
was soon on the way, and escorted by
thousands Of people, who crowded the
street car lines and blocked the way
with private vehicles. Rumors Of the
widest kind were telephoned from the
scene until II was generally credited that
the penltentlary had been destroyed, and
the unfortunate inmates roasted alive.
At one time IL was given out that fifty
had perished. 1t was hours before the
straight story could be learned. Fire
broke out In the foundry department OF
the Lincoln Stove and Furnace Co., just
before six o'clock. BY this time all the
convicts had been counted and placed I'm
their cells. The building was entirely
consumed. II was owned by the State,
entaillng a loss to the public Of $4,000.
The contractors will lose upwards OF
$4,000 on product and machinery. al
though how much the loss will be cannot
be actually stated tonight. Only a
partial insurance was carried. The
penitentary proper was untouched. Work
i'm the prison shops will be interfered with
for some days, owing 10 the cutting OF
Of power or steam connections.

INDId'S DILEMMA.
Invites Tenders For an Issue OF 1900, 900
Pounds of Bills

LONDON, Oct 27.-The India Council
yesterday invited tenders for an Issue OF
100000 pounds OF India bills. payable
In London. The Times says OF the mat
ter:
The Indian government has chosen
an unlucky time for the issue"
The Chronicle says:
This change OF policy places an en-
tirely new form OF security on the Lon
don market. The council has chosen
the worst possible moment, when the
demands for gold have become strong
enough 70 enable American houses 20
extract bar gold from the bank. The
issue naturally IS made TO strengthen
exchange and raise the value Of the rupee.
yet although the banks I'm India are
aware that the issue is imminent, the
exchange rates from Calcutta and Bonn
bay not only have failed 20 respond, but
also become somewhat lower.
1T Is difficult 10 see how the Indian
government will extricate itself from the
dilemma. There is every danger that
trade with the far East will be seriously
disturbed"

SIGNS or IMPROVEMEYT.
The Treasury Situation Shows a Decrease
in Pension Payments.


I'm Pension Payments.
WASHINGTON, D. c.. oct 26-The
treasury situation as the month draws
10 a close shows signs Of Improvement.
Tho receipts stin lag behind those Of last
October but pension payments are be-
ginning 10 show a substantial decrease,
and for this month viii not probably ex-
ceed &l,000O00. With the interest which
was paid October 1st taken out Of the
cash, the net excess Of expenditures over
receipts for the month will probably not
be more than $6000O0O or about $4,000 900
I'm excess Of receipts for the first four
months Of the fiscal year
An encouraging sign is the increase Of
the gold reserve, which to-day stands
nearly $830)0OO0. This increase has been
brought about, not by increased gold pay
ments on account Of customs. but by
less gold being paid out I'm the ordinary
course Of treasury business. This has
been made possible by the fact that the
treasury. by working an extra force over
hours has caught up 10 some slight ex-
tent with the accumulated paper currency
awaiting redemption. The amount thus
tied up has now been made available.
and has been paid out where, had it not
been on hand. gold would have been used
10 meet current expenses. II is believed
that the redemptions Will keep ahead Of
the needs for currency, and thus give the
gold reserve an opportunity 20 strengthen
itself
