Chairman wilson a. Home.

CHARLEsTowN, W. Va. October 10 Con-
gresham w. L. Wilson's home coming Wa
made the occasion of q demonstration by
his democratic fellow citizens of the Second
congressional district, which rather taxed
the caracity of this old town, the county seat
of Jefferson county.
In Mr.. Wilson's address he said:
1--WE have reached that stage in the devel-
Opment of our country when We are COM
PEELED to have larger markets for our surp US
products, and such markets, through for
eign trade. are the only safety valves for the
health nd the prosperity of the American
iatorer IN the field and in the factory.
"On the one side lie good government,
honest economical government, free indus
try, large and expanding markets for the
products of Am rican labor and a general
dawning of an era of individual prosperity.
On the other side lie corruption, fettered
and imprisoned industry, imitation by law
on the markets in which we are to sell and
limitations by W for the amount for which
we can protitably produce. Those are the
two questions at issue before the American
people. and, as | have said before. giving a
somewhat local application to what am
going to say to-day. the question for the
people OF jefferson county and the market
for wheat and for the mechanics, is more
markets for manufactured goo IS.
Il say it is for you to-day a question of
marketS-a question of consum rs the world
over. for the products you produce. We
have been holding for thirty years tariff
walls to keep other people from coming in
to comtete with Us in home market al
re dy glutted. We have now begun to tear
down our tariff wa Is to let US out with our
products to compete with the rest of the
wor d, in all the markets of the world.
Thirty years ago we began to shut our
selves in from all the markets of tn world
thirty years ago we called the American
merchant in from off the seas and surren-
dered the oceans to Eng and and other ma
tons to traverse them with their ships"

Five men are dead, ten are more or less
injured and $1,000 worth of property was de-
stroyed by the burning of Keehan & Jasen's
five story furniture store on Woodward ave.
nue., Detroit.
The fire originated at the bottom of the
elevator shaft and swept up with tremend-
Gus swiftness. About sixty five persons were
at work on the upper stories, but all escaped
unhurt.
Suddenly the front walls sagged forward
and the great mass of hot brick, timber and
iron crashed downward. Almost at the same
instant the rear wall crum bled and fell to
the alley at the rear.
Sixteen firemen were in the path of the
milling walls, but ten escaped alive after
a few seconds of thrilling experience.

LONDON, October 6.-The English news
papers have apparently recovered from the
bad scare caused some of them by the hasty
calling of cabinet council. The afternoon
newspapers were seriously apprehensive of
war with France. Now they are unanimous
in expressing the opinion that there is not
the slightest cause of anxiety as to a serious
dispute with France, and it seems to be ad-
mitted that the cabinet council will not be
called upon to decide anything more serious
than protection of British interests in China,
The ca abinet council will decide the question
as to whether or not British troops will be
sent Immediately to treaty ports of China.

SAN FRANcIsco, CAL. October 6.-The
shooner Lila and Matte, which has arrived
from Coquill river, reports remarkable ex-
perience at sea. The schooner was lying off
the coast becalmed. The sea was perfectly
smooth, when suddenly a loud, rumbling
noise was heard and the schooner commenced
to pitch violently. Although there was no
wind heavy sea sprang up almost instantly
and the schooner was thrown about in a
manner that threatened the safety of her
nasts.
After a short time the sea went down and
all was as calm as before. The supposition
is that she experienced a submarine earth
quake. The schooner Excelsior reports the
same experience as the Lila and Matte.
