AGAINST FREE COINAGE.

Vigorous Fight 10 be Made by the Na-
tionnl Administration Government
Officials To Take the Stump and Preach
Against the White Metal.
WASHINGTON. April GA strong and
vigorous fight against the free and I'M
limited coinage of silver, Independent of
international agreement, is to be made
by the administration. With that end
in view officers in the various executive
departments, appointed under the pres
ent administration, are being urged to
organize systematically for the purpose
of conducting the contest along the
lines laid down in the presidents mes
sage.
Federal officers in the several states
will be organized as nucleus, about
which all who uphold the administra-
ton, or rather who ere opposed to the
free and unlimited coinage Of silver,
will be expected to rally. There are
easily 200, 900 government officers, post
masters, internal revenue officers, Gus
toms officers, district attorneys and in
Vulnerable contractors, scattered
throughout the country and these will
be expected to do the aggressive fight
ing in the field. Nearly all the cabinet
officers will take the stump for one or
more speeches.
Secretary Carlisle will certainly make
two or more speeches in the Kentucky
campaign. Secretary Morton will de-
liver an address in Chicago and per-
haps one in st. Louis. Secretary Her
bert and Congressman Clark will prob
ably speak in Alabama. Postmaster
General Wilson is being urged to go
west and speak in Illinois and Indiana.
The president is represented as being
thoroughly in earnest in the proposed
crusade against the free and unlimited
coinage of silver and will leave no stone
unturned to prevent the free silver SEN
timent from gaining hcadway and to
crush it out if possible. AS tariff re-
form was the test of party fealty in his
campaign for the presidential nomina-
ton. active support of his demand for
the repeal of the Sherman purchasing
clause the test of party fealty in 1894,
so in 1895 the test Of party fealty will
be uncompromising opposition to thu
free and unlimited coinage of silver by
the United States, independent of in
ternatlonal agreement.

HEAVY LOSS BY FIRE.

A Portion of the willard State Hospital
nt Ovid, N. ", is Destroyed-Loss $780,
900.
OVID, n. Y, April ga disastrous
fire occurred early Sunday morning, at
the Willard state hospital, the loss by
which will be considerable to the state
and very great inconvenience to the
institution until the damaged portion
can be rebuilt. The fire was discovered
shortly before 2 o'clock, in the assort-
ing room of the laundry connected
with the main building where several
hundred inmates were confined.
The burned and destroyed portions
are the entire laundry, the shoe shop,
tailor shop, matron's Office and sewing
room, bakery, boiler room and engine
room and all the machinery in these
rooms. 1t was feared at one time that
that the entire main building would be
burned and all the patients were pre-
pared to leave the building as soon as
it should become necessary to do so.
This was, however, not required. The
loss is estimated at $3.50, 900.

-rHE SILVER QUESTION.


iowa Democrats Reahirm the Declara-
tions of the National Convention of 1899
on Finance--ActiOn OF Texas Legisia-
tors.
Dies MONIES, Ia, April 25.-The dem
ocratic leaders to the number OF 1OOand
the members of the state central COM
mittee, held conference here yester-
day afternoon, at which the silver ques-
ton was the principal topic OF discus
sion. The reports as to the sentiment
in different parts of the state, as well
as the views of those present, differed
widely and the debate at times became
acrimonious, but the preponderence OF
''sound money" sentiment was shown
by the final adoption of declaration
that st is the sense of this conference
that the two monetary metals should
be kept at parity"
To this declaration was added at the
request of S. b. Evans, of Ottumwa,
representing the moderate silver men
and without objection from the antag'
onistic wing of the party the modifica-
ton 'without discriminating against
either metal in the matter of coinage, "
thus practically reaffirming the ma
tional democratic monetary plank OF
1892.
The conference also voted in favor OF
holding the state convention after the
republican convention, and the central
committee accordingly, last evening
named Wednesday, August Z, as the
date and Marshalltown as the place.
The date is compromise, the extreme
gold men wanting a very late one, in or
der to give what they term the present
''silver craze" time to exhaust itself. The
conference was a representative one SO
far as party leaders are concerned
Although the free silver men promise
fight, the result of the conference is
taken to indicate that Iowa democrats
in convention this year will indorse the
national monetary plank of 1892 and
the party leaders will interpret 1t n
accordance with the views of the ad
ministration.
AUSTIN, Tex, April 25.-The bi-met
allists in the Texas legislature had
meeting last night for the purpose o.
calling on the people of Texas to rally
to the support of Cleveland, the ma
tional democratic party on the tinan
cial policy and not to go off after thu
16 to alleged democrats. The meeting
swore unequivocal Endorsement o
Cleveland and the national democratic
party; condemned in unmeasured term
the populist policy Of 16 to l.
1t is generally conceded that th'
meeting of the bi-metallists is th'
wedge that will serve to split the dem
ocratic party, as the 16 to 1 men sa,
they will neither ask nor expect to re
ceive any quarter and will place the is
sue squarely before the people, and i
necessary will branch into new part.
in order to have the silver plank il
their platform.

PITTsBURG, April 2S.-The entire CEN
tral business section of Duquesne, on
the Monongahela river, twelve miles
from Pittsburg, was destroyed by fire
Yesterday. The loss is about 500, 900.
Twenty buildings were destroyed, in
cluding what was known as the First
National bank building. The fire orig
mated in the First National bank build
ing about o'clock and is supposed to
have been caused by incendiaries.
Duquesne is without waterworks or
fire department, and bucket brigade
was at once formed but the efforts of
the volunteer firemen were useless to
stay the flames. Some small frame
houses at the west end OF the block
were torn down to check the progress
in that direction. The destruction OF
these houses saved the entire town
from being destroyed. The rain also
aided in checking the flames, which
were under control at II o'clock

A CORNER IN WHEAT.
Chicago Spectators Control the Market
The Price Advances Seven Gents
Dushel in One Week.

Chicago Spectators Control the Market
The Price Advances Seven Gents
Bushel in One Week.
CHICAGO, April 93.--The advance in
the price of wheat, which began last
week, going higher each day with leaps
and bounds, continued its sensational
career yesterday on the board of trade.
When trading began there was wild
scramble for wheat, July being the IA
vorite option. In ten minutes the price
had reached GS cents, which was two
cents over the closing price of Satur-
day. The action of the bears in selling
a lot at 6S cents had the effect of check
ing the advance and there was reac-
ton to 90 cents. The market tluctu-
ated between those points for some
time.
The wheat pit was jammed with bro
kers who held buying orders. Every
body wanted wheat in hurry. The
reason is that just now Chicago is the
greatest source of supply. The world
must look to this city for its wheat. In
the elevators are stored 26,O0O,0O0 bush
els of wheat.
There is comparatively little grain at
other points and except the 5000, 900
bushels in store at New York there is
no wheat on the American seaboard.
There is little afoat to foreign markets
and the millers of the northwest are
buying the wheat that is stored in that
part of the country at higher prices
than it can be sold for here. The for
eign traders knew of the immense guam
tity of wheat in store here, but had the
mistaken idea that they could buy it at
their own price at any time they
wanted it. The Chicago owners of the
26,OO0,O 900 bushels, however, have ample
capital to hold their property until they
can get suitable price for it.
The furry Monday was not the result
of the rushing of the shorts to cover
because little of the business was done
by the leading bears or their brokers
/ There was sudden and general de
mand for wheat and no one seemed
ready to supply it.
Armour & Co. make an enormous profit
by the advance, as the firm is credited
with owning twelve of the twenty-siA
million bushels in local elevators.
Wheat has jumped seven cents since
a week ago and at that rate their win
nings amount to $S4O,OOO. w. T. Baker
president of the board, is. also said tc
be a heavy winner.

in new bills and the other $2,7o5 in

robbery was the work of professional
thieves, as during the afternoon a

without having transacted any busi-
ness.

SERIOUS ACCIDENT.
A Series Of Natural Gas Explc-
siOns Near Pittsburg
WRECKED FOUR HOUSES
And Badly Injured Two Ladies, Whose
Escape From Death
Is Almost DIiraculOus-FOur Houses are
Destroyed by Fire - The Accident
Was Caused by an Old Break
in the Gas Main.

PITTsBURe, April 29.-A series OF nat
ural gas explosions at $3.50 o'clock yes
terday afternoon, in Williamsburg
suburb of this city, wrecked four
houses and badly injured two people.
The first explosion occurred in the
house Of A. C. Spindler, on Swissvale
avenue. A sister of Mr.. Spindler went
down in the cellar to investigate what
seemed to be escaping gas. She car
ried light. Immediately a terrible
explosion. occurred which lifted the
house from its foundation and wrecked
it completely. Miss Mary Spindler,
aged about 80, and her sister Rebecca
were the only persons in the house at
the time of the explosion. They we're
rescued shortly after and how they es-
capped death is mystery.
Part of the house fell on the resi-
dence of Mr.. Swift and wrecked the
latter place. Shortly after the eXplo-
sion in Spindlers house, three more ex-
plosions occurred in the house of A. u.
Downing. Fortunately no one was Sc
verely injured here The houses owned
by A. c. 6pindler, A. L. Downing Maj.
Lawton and Mr. Swift Immediately
caught fire and were soon entirely de-
stroyed. The accident is said to have
been caused by gas being turnedi into an
old main that had not been in use for
two years and which was defective. The
loss will reach $4,000; covered by in
insurance.
The explosions were heard several
miles distant. The greatest excitement
and confusion prevailed in the town.
Many narrow escapes are reported.
The citizens say that the company
knew that there was a break in the
main and neglected to fix it before the
gas was turned on. Both the Spindlci
women will recover.

A few weeks ago tho ISTRLLIoEScER
chronicled the intention Of the Natural
Gas Company Of West Virginia to call
the attention Of the city council to tue
fact that tits no longer able ~ sell gas
to the city consumers az 10 cents and
make both ends meet.
Ono Of the odiclalS Of the local
office Of tho company, is authority
for the statement that the Natural Gas
Company will bring this important
matter before tho city council at its
meeting this evening, In the Shape oil a
request for tho appointment of a COM
mittee Of counciImen to thoroughly In
yestigate tho affairs Of the company, go
that the city legislators can be con-
yiuced that gas sold to-day at 10 cents Ia
furnished at less than the actual cost to
the company. This being shown, the
company will ask that II DO empowered
10 soil its product TO Wheeling con'
sumers at an advance OF 8 cents, making
the price 20 cents per tIOudRnd.
Tho gentleman, speaking oil tho pro-
posed action before council, says the
cause OF the increased cost OF bringing
natural gas to this city Is the fact that
the Washington county, Pa, field, where
the gas has been secured, Is giving out,
or at least the gas Is becoming so scarce
that O great deal oil money 10 being
dropped in "dry holcs." But for the
lucky strike Of oil at d hole being drilled
for gas tho company would be- deeper in
the hole than II actually is, according to
the information OF the lHTELLIdEScER
Washington county being no longer
profitable field Tor gas, the company,
II il intends to continue furnishing gas
to Wheeling, must look elsewhere. The
most promising field 10 the sistOrSviIle
district, where q number Of 'gassers"
have been struck recently, but TO bring
gas from that section an immense out.
lay is necessary for the construction oil

Aside from these facts, soy the officials
OF tho company, natural gas is being
furnished 10 Wheeling cheaper than in
any Of the surrounding ciLios or towns.
