MONTEREY, Mexico, July 10-The
Monterey smelters are IN full blast and
there is no indication of cessation. viii.
liam Guggenhelm, general manager OF
the great National smelter, the largest
silver lead plant In this country, said to-
day:
The white metal is all right and there
is no cause for alarm. The future of
silver is now in the hands of England
and the United States. England has al
ready intimated that she will take care
of white metal exclusive of the United
States product She wants to close the
mines of the United States. The repeal
of the Sherman act will practically leave
England alone 10 protect silver. except
for such assistance as might come from
Japan. England is obliged to buy sill
yer, as India must use it or fall back on
gold, which England can't spare. The
question now arises, What will the
United States do for silver? What the
reasonable supporters of the white metal
demand is not free coinage, but staple
condition. protecting it from fuctuation.
Mexico will be abe TO produce silver
profitably at figures that would be ruin
Gus to the United States"

TELEGRAPHIO NEWS.
A Disastrous Fire,

CHICAGO, July 10-Tbe fear that ha
existed for months IN the minds of tb'
citizens of Chicago found realization to-
dag in frIghtful holocaust at th'
worlds fair that claimed nearly two
score victims and for a time threatened
the destru ction of the entire white city
The disaster was all the more dreadful
because of it's sudden transformation
from an innocent flame into a death
dealing catastrophe. The structure thai
burned, the cold-storage warehouse, wa'
one of the smallest buildings at the feir
but not belonging to the exposition. Il
was the exhibit OF the Hercules Iron
Works, manufacturers of Ice and refrIg-
Grating machines. The building con-
tanned a skating rink. three 120 tons ice
machines, some 40 barrels OF linseed oil
which added fuel to the flame, and In il
there was stored large quantities of meat
fruit, etc. That the fire was not com.
municated to the other worlds falr
buildings was due to favorable winds
The scene of the horrer was witnessed
by many thousands of fpeopIe who flocked
to the locality where the alarm was
sounded, and strong men wept and wo-
man tainted as one life after another was
snuffed out within full view of the null
titude, but beyond reach of human aid
The fire was not generally observed un
til about 1 :15 P. NJ, and within 80 min
utes great loss OF life occurred. At
the first signal the fireman rushed up
the hnoe shaft sur1oundiny the smoke
stack, and when at the summit began
preparations 10 fight the flames, which
first appeared at this point.

Troubles of Labor.

ST. PAUL, Mimi. July 10-lhere is
general and widespread suffering in the
several established iron ranges of the
Lake Superior districts. 1t is the worst
time since the black days of 1879. There
Is scarcely a mine on the ranges that is
not either completely closed or greatly
curtaiied in operation. Miners have not
been at work for three weeks, and the
idle number is at least 5000 greater than
it was less than month ago. This tre-
mendous non employed force decreases in
like ratio the business of the railways
in that section, and also the stores and
dependent industries. 1t is probable
that $4,000 men are today out of work
by reason of the closing of these mines.
Most of the mines that have suspended
operations are still shipping the ore that
has been mined and put on stock piles.
Some few are continuing mining opera :
tion with day shifts. Some, however.
are SO completely shut down that the
pnmps have been taken out, and the
mines will be allowed to fill with water

kill her. There were two bruises on the
breast of the deceased. the bones of the
right cheek were broken and the skull ter
ribly fractured. The end &C the stick of
wood had bloody marks on it, and there
were two pools of blood in the cellar. A
careful examination was made of each wit.
ness, and the jury after being out an hour
and half, brought in the following verdict:
We the jury impanelled to inquire into
the cause of the death of E. W. Wilhelm,
having listened to the testimony produced
before us and made a careful examination of
the body of the deceased and the premises,
find as follows: That the deceased's name
is Z. w. Wilhelm, and that his age was So
years; that he died on Julv 7, 1898, and
that his death was caused by blow from
blunt instrument in the hand of one 81. j.
Wilhelm, and We are of the opinion that
the killing was done in self defense.
