Lyons, Ca, March 11.-Maude, the lit

Immediately caught the child in her arms
and tried to pull her clothing off, but be-

own clothes and ran TO the water shelf
and poured the bucket of water upon her.
Strange to say, the child is not burnt at
all, although the ribon that tied up her
hair was burned and her hair badly

given for her escape, are that she had on

Minister Thurston Thinks the Reports

Washington, March II. - Minister
ThurstOn, when seen tonight concerning
the reported startling situation on the
Hawaiin Islands, said that he had not
received advices from his gov

Of affairs and had gained inform

GROVER AND The COINAGE
The Bland Bill May Not Be Vetoed if
ii Passes.

The Presidents Mind Probably Not
Made Up Irrsvooably One Way or
the Other-His Position Merely a
Matter of Conjecture so Far as the
Public is Concerned.
Washington, March II. - President
Cleveland and Secretary Carlisle spent
several hours Saturday afternoon at the
executive mansion discussing treasury
affairs. This was the first time since the
Presidents return from his hunting trip
in the North Carolina swamps that he has
been able to give several hours unin-
terrupted time to any one cabinet Off
Ger. 1t is believed the policy of
the administration as to the silver seign
forage bill was the principal topic of the
conference. During the past week many
statements have been made as to the
probably action of the President in the
event of the seigniorage bill passing the
Senate. So far no authorized expression
of views from either the President or
Secretary Carlisle have been given to the
public.
A MATTER OF CONJECTURE.
The Presidents position is a matter of
conjecture. The opinion is expressed by a
treasury official, known to possess the
confidence of both the President and
Secretary Carlisle, that the Presidents
mind on the silver seigniorage bill has
not been irrevocably made up, but that he
is liable to be swayed in his decision by
the action of the Senate, especially
if the vote by which the bill passes is
very large, and if the majority presents a
preponderance of democratic senator's

total would be about 1857, 100000. leaving
a deficit of approximately S26, 600, COO
