CLEVELAND AND CONGRESS.

1t is intimated in Washington, and
the intimation comes from close politi-
cal and social friends of the President.
that Mr.. CLEVELAND is prepared to enter
into fight to the finish with Congress
if his plan for currency reform is not
formulated in DILL and the bill made
into law at this session.
The story goes that unless this is done,
the new Congress will be convoked in
extraordinary session, and the noses OF
of the members kept firmly to the grind
stone until the currency is adequately
reformed.
This simply means that the President
warns this Democratic Congress that
unless il undertakes task it is not only
not qualified to perform, but has not
time To perform, the work will be forced
at once upon the new Republican Con-
gress.
The reform of the currency has evil
dently gotten itself fixed firmly in Mr..
CLEvELAND's mind. He has rolled his
periods and based his consecrations upon
tariff reform for as long as that over
worked issue would yield him the
merest modicum of publicity. Now
that tariff reform has been
invalided for a couple of years, Mr..
lLEYELAND- must have some sort of q
reform quid TO roll under his tongue. So
he has marshaled the ignorance of
Comptroller ECKELs and Secretary CAR
IsLE, and added his own lack Of intelli-
gence on financial questions to the
general fund Of don't know, and has
entered boldly upon a campaign.
Probably the President confidently
counts upon being thwarted by this
Congress, and hopes for the felicity of
sending an orotund message to the new
Republican Congress, assembled in ex-
traordinary session, to give him one more
opportunity to escape from the clutches
Of his drowning party.
Certainly it is TO be hoped that Mr..
CLEVELAND will stick manfully to his
program. There is very little proba-
bility that this Congress will pass a
currency-reform measure. II is going
to be long and tedious process 20 find
out what sort OF a bill ought to be
drawn, and it will be longer and more
tedious process TO pass it, even through
the Republican Fifty-fourth Congress.
There is no agreement among financial
authorities as 20 what ought 10
be the exact nature OF the currency
reform all acknowledge the necess-
ity FOX. There is even less agree
ment between legislators and poll
ticians. When these jangling elements
get definite proposition, in the form of
bill In Congress, to work upon, their
idiosyncracies will come TO the surface.
and tir--r- wifi bc, so to speak, music IN
the air.
Yet, II the President Is foolish enough
to present the rumored ultimatum 20
Congress, 1t will prove not inappropri-
ate faux pas to mark the disappearance
of the Democrats from power, and the
severance Of his party from the presi-

Pakenhan7's
Heroic
Death I'm
Battle.

Sir Edward Pakenham. Jackson had
improved the time since the repulse of
the enemy on Jan. by adding to the
defenses q second and reserved line of
parapets, behind which his men were
distributed in way to make their fire
tell upon the assaulting columns. To
all appearance the American position
was impregnable. The colonel of the
Forty.fourth, tho British regiment cho-
sen to cross the ditch and scale the
walls, declared, my men have been
ordered TO execution"
When the hour arrived TO fire the
signal rocket, and the Fcrty-fourth was
not in position, Pakenham led forward
the next in line, and seeing the soldiers
falter on meeting tho American fire he
took off his hat and waved il, at the
same time spurring his horse into the
arena, where the shots were most dead
". A bullet shattered his bride arm,
which fell to his side, while his horse
dropped dead beneath him. Mounting
another, no rode with tho front rank Of
the Highlanders as they advanced in
lien of the Enrty.fonrth on what looked
to be row of fiery furnaces along the
American trenches. Realizing the des-
perate work before him, Pakenham call
ed out TO an aid near him, ''Order up
the reservesr" Again waving his hat
and shouting TO his men, he rode on
with the Highlanders until mass Of
grapeshot struck him down, killed his
horse and shattered his thigh. Before
he could bo removed from the field a
third shot entered his groin. He died
before the battle was decided.

] A N N EES In Chicago
Three Million Dollars Worth 81.
Property Destroyed. .
The Hottest Fire for Many Years-OnG
Small Boy Was Drowned and Sey-
eral Ftremen Very Serl-
ously Injured.

CE1CAGo, Aug. 2.-Flames last night
destroyed more property, and in q
shorter space of time, than any fire
which has visited Chicago since the big
conf1agration in 1872. Three million
dollars worth of lumber, electric appa-
& tus, cars, car wheel castings, stoves,
patterns, buildings and other material
were consumed in blazing furnace of
over half mile square in less than
three hours time. The scene of the
fire is what is known as the lumber
district. The territory burned over
was bounded by Ashland avenue on the
east, the south branch of the Chicago
river on the south, Blue Island avenue
on the north and Roby street on the
west. The fire was the worst which
the department has been called upon
to fight in the last % years.
There were so many casualties among
the fremen and spectators. The only
death, so far as heard, was that of a
boy who fell from a lumber pile in a
river, slip and was drowned. Among
the fremen injured were the following:
Lieut.. McGinn. tripped by pipe thrown
by fire boat Geyser and thrown into
blazing lumber; badly burned; taken to
the hospital.
P. J. Phelan, 2947 Orchard street,
burned in the same manner; removed to
the county hospital. ..
Pipeman Flaherty, seriously burned
in the same manner; taken to hospital.
Assistant Marshal Musham, blown
from the fire boat Geyser into the
river; cut and bruised; continued on
duty.
James Connors, assistant engineer,
blown from lumber pile; cut and badly
bruised; taken home.
Dozens of fremen, who could not
have fought the flames any harder if
their homes had been burning and lives
in danger, were overcome by the heat
and smoke, but after brief rest they
renewed the fight.
There seemed to be some danger of
the flames jumping the river and cross
ing east Of Ashland avenue. The lum-
ber to the east, however, was thor
oughly soaked, the fremen having
made the greatest fight against fearful
odds that has been placed to their credit
in manV wears.
