PREARRANGED FIRES.

Confession of Man Arrested On a
Charge of Arson.
New YORK, May 31.-Morris Schon-
holz, who was arrested recently on q
charge of arson, has made statement to
the police which will probably result in
the arrest of dozen or more insurance
adjusters. It is alleged that SchonhoIz
confessed to firing at least half dozen
houses in this city and Brooklyn, by pre-
arrangement, for the insurance. One
fire" in Yonkers was all prepared and
ready, when it was prevented by acci-
dent.
The fires that panned out were all set
with benzine on the bladder plan. This
plan is as simple as it is effective. The
doomed store or flat is sprinkled with
alcohol, and q bladder filed with infam-
mable stuff is suspended from the ceiling
Then it is set on fire, and when the flames
reach the bladder there is an explosion
which destroys the property and every
vestige of the manner in which the fire
was set at the same time. A similar re-
suit is obtained by turning on all the gas
and letting one jet burn. The explosion
point is reached in due time. These are
the flash fires that SO long puzzled police
and firemen. Morris Schonholz was the
expert who did the business, but was
himself simply the tool of gang of fire
adjusters.

TARIFF RETALIATION,
Colombia VIII File Claim for Dam

Colombia VIII File Claim for DAM
ages Against the United states.
WASHINGTON, May 3L--General Reg
nifo. the representative here of the re-
public of Colombia, - a3te to be author
lied by his Government to present a
claim against the United States for dam
ages sustained by Colombia by the reason
of President Harrison's proclamation of
tariff retaliation.
Secretary Blaine effected reciprocity
treaties with most of the South and Gem
trail American republics, but Colon bia
and a few other countries refused to
make such treaties. They were warned
that if they held out against reciprocity
they would be retaliated against. This
failed to effect any arrangement. There
upon, at the suggestion of Secretary of
State John w. Foster, who had succeeded
Mr.. Blaine, President Harrison pro-
claimed discriminating tariff rates against
the coffee, hides, sugar and molasses of
Colombia.
This practically ruined the trade Of
Colombia as her coffee and hides could
not be sent to this country against the
competition of Brazil, Mexico and other
countries which enjoyed freedom from
duties under the reciprocity treaties.
These exports to the United States
reached about 5000 pesos Ia peso being
worth about 10 cents, but Immediately
after the proclamation they fell to almost
nothing. Colon bia protested against the
retaliation, claiming that the most-tavored
nation clause of the treaty with the
United States protected her against the
tariff discrimination. Secretary Foster
and the Colombian Minister, Senior Hor-
tado, carried on a correspondence, and
the Minister finally left Washington with
the statement that he would not return
until settlement was effected. No set
tlement was ever made. and the submis-
sion of Colombia claim for loss and
damage sustained will be the result.

SAN Francisco, May 3l.-An evening

counsel for the contesting heirs of the es-
tate of the late James q. Fair, went to
New York to present to Herman Oel-

Goodfeilow s250.000. This proposition, it
IS said, was rejected by Oelrichs, but the
second suggested by the executors was
approved by Senator Fairs son-in-law.
1t was as follows: That all contests be
Withdrawn, and the executors be allowed
to probate the will, and after one year s

FIRE IN THE BALDWIN.


The Attic Damaged to the Extent of a
thousand Dollars.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.-Shortly be-
fore o'clock this afternoon smoke was
discovered in the Baldwin Hotel. and an
Investigation was very hurriedly made.
The fire was traced to a room on the top
story Of the northeast corner of the build
ing, on the Ellis-street side.
No time was lost in summoning the
Fire Department, and in response to an
alarm from box 9S the engines in the dis
trict were on hand within few minutes
1t looked like ''bllnd'' blaze at first, and
the iremen had some difficulty in trac-
ing it. Six lines of hose were speedily
put into use, and with the aid of the
chemical engine the flames were checked
before much damage was caused.
The news that there was a tire in the
hotel spread quickly through the big
structure and naturally alarmed the
guests. The fire was confined to the
attic and was caused by a defective fue.
The damage will be covered by $1,000.

made the speech there would have been
condemnation all along the Republican
ranks. The implication startled me that
there are, in prosperous State like Ohio
Republican voters who wish to degrad @
our dollar standard, repudiate one-half
our public debt and pay their debts in
cheaper money than they promised to
pay. have not met such voters in New
York.
1T lS difficult for me to believe that
majority in any American State or in any
American Congress wils vote to create
new dollar merely in order that debtors
may evade the payment of one-half Or
one-quarter of any percentage of what
we owe and have promised. That would
be worse and more indefensible than the
creation in 1861 by Senator Sherman's s
party of full legal tender dollar. Then
the country was in the agony of civil
war. but now there is profound peace.
liquidation of private contracts had not
been attempted in our history until 1862.
Whether our standard dollar was silver
or gold, or both, it was from 1892 to 1862
an honest standard, an undegraded stand
ard.
Senator Sherman said at GAINESVILLE,
what was new to me, that for fourteen
years after resumption of specie pay
ments, while the Republican party was
in power, we had gold, silver and paper
money passing current in all parts Of the
commercial world. L had never known
that from 1880 to 1884. when Cleveland
came, our silver dollars and greenback
dollars were exportable like our gold
dollars. One of my objections to our
present Government making full legal
tender silver and green back dollars is
that they are not exportable.
Il would exterminate forever the
greenback dollars, which, by their end
less redemption character. make the
chiefest of our exporting currency woes.
l would, by international bimetallism,
and by coinage at a ratio of 15!, and not
by Senator Sherman's bastard bimetal-
lism, exemplifled in his law of 1890, now
repealed, lift our standard dollar into a
WORLDWIDE parity with our gold dollar.
l would thereby put an end to the degra-
dation of any coined dollar of ours. I
would not have, as now, one ratio which
is l6 for our silver dollars, and higher
ratio, as now. for our mined silver. | OBJ
ject to Senator Sherman's misdescription
of the bimetallism of 1892, which. on an
international ratio OF 15i to one. advo-
cate.
I'VE have suspended the compulsory
purchase of silver and the coming of sill
yer dollars. 1 urged it in the interest of
international bimetallism. The suspen-
sion is steadily working in Europe to
that end. 1t has persuaded Bismarck. If
could have my wish 1 would have the
Treasury purchase not another ounce of
silver, or coin another silver dollar under
existing conditions. The possibility of
international bimetallism on ratio of
power of the United States, exerted
earnestly in good faith by Congress. the
