WOMEN BURN At SEA.
The Steamer Iona from Edin-
burg Takes Fire.
Six Women and One Child Are
Burned.
MEN WERE COWARDLY
Tried to Save Themselves and
Let Others Die.
Frantic People Rush to and Fro
After Friends.

LONDON, Sept. 16.-Fire broke out on
board the steamer Iona, from Edinburg
TO London, today. The flames spread
with SO much rapidIty that before aid
reached the vessel six of the passengers
and the stewardess of the Iona were
burned to death. The fire was put out
after four hours struggle.
The fire broke out when the Iona was
off Clacton in the fore part of the yes
sci. The passengers were aroused, and
was supposed that all had escaped
from the burning cabin. While the crew
were busy fighting the flames soldiers on
board assisted in lowering the boats and
in supplying passengers with life belts
There was no wind and the sea was per-
fectly smooth.
There was however, so much excite
ment and confusion among the passen-
gers that the captain was
unable to restore order. Sud
denly it was discovered that some
women and children were missing. The
stewardess re-entered the burning cabin,
it is presumed, to try to rescue those
who were missing, aud she also persisted
The darkness and the volumes of
smoke issuing from the burning cabin
combined to make it a terrible scene.
Here and there there was a passenger
rushing to and fro seeking his wife
and another was searching tor his
daughter 1t was not until these COM
partments had been burned that it be-
came possible to enter the cabin, where
were discovered the charred remains of
six women and one child.
Then the engines of the steamer were
started up again and the vessel proceeded
on its way to London. There are various
rumors as to the origin of the fire. Some
of the passengers alleged that male pas
sengers acted in a cowardly manner,
seeking first their own safety instead of
assisting the women and children into
| the boats,

A BABY MURDERER HUNG.
Minnie Dean, Who Disposed of Natural
Children. Suffers For Her Crime.

Minnie Dean, Who Disposed of Natural
Children, Suffers For Her Crime.
VANCOUVER, B. c., Sept 16-Minnie
Dean, who was condemned TO death for
the murder of infants entrusted to her
care, has been executed in Invercargill,
Auckland, New Zealand. She protested
her innocence up to the last. Clemency
was asked on account of the murderess
being a woman, but the proof against her
was so overwhelming that no mercy was
shown.
On the scsffold she was hysterical and
had to be almost carried to the drop.
Just before the black cap shut out the
world from view she became more re-
signed, but piteously exclaimed: "Oh,
God, let me not suffer" The drop fell
and death was instantaneous The wo-
man prayed necessarily toward the last,
but stoutly maintained that she had no
murder on her soul and had no doubt
she would go to heaven.
Minnie Deans crimes were the sensa-
tions of last year in New Zealand. In
her prosperity she was patronized by
well-to-do scoundrels, who paid her
handsomely to become responsible for
their children. A mothers love, how
ever, induced an erring woman to seek
her child, which had been delivered to
the woman's care.
Minnie Dean had reported it dead from
natural causes, but the mothers suspic-
ions were aroused, and detectives were
employed, when the remains of a num-
Der of children were found of ages rang
ing from few months to several years
buried in every conceivable place about
the premises.
The woman was arrested, and after a
sensational trial was condemned to death
on the evidence of the guilty fathers, who
were compelled by the authorities to ap-
pear in court to assist the crown. Minnie
Deans defense was that all the children
died from natural causes

change. Room ., Columbian Building
Wheat-There was a weak undertone
in wheat at the opening, selling down
under 57c for short time for Decem Der.
This initial slump, due most likely, and
in fact was, attributed TO the big re-
ceipts in the northwest, Minneapolis and
Duluth receiving over 1900 cars of
wheat. These large receipts keep the
buyers guessing. Then the cables
were a source of grief, and really every
bit of information available and
entering into the situation seemed to be
against any advance in the market For
the first hour or SO after the opening the
crowd settled intself down to and for the
visible supply statement and the estl-
mate called for an increase from two
million bushels to over that amount.
When it was announced it only made
reduction of ,338,000 bushels. This was
the first piece of encouragement holders
have received for some time. There at
once appeared 10 be a transition of SEN
tmet from extreme bearishness to a
feeling of confidence. Buyers appeared
in force and the market was showed up
at a rapid gait despite continuation of
selling by big bear plungers. The fea-
ture was unim portant at primary points
ClearaGces fair. Corn and oats-A tame
and uninteresting market in corn. The
break was only fractional and there was
a recovery when wheat strengthened.
The visible supply increased less than
expected.
Provisions-Were dull and volume of
trading light There was a weak spell
at the middle of the day. Hogs today
$4,000. and $4,000 tomorrow.

His Master.
Colonel Thomas Moonlight, United
States minister to Bolivia has written a
letter to Major A. P, Shreve of this city
under the date of August IL in which he
gets in a word for the Cleveland adj
ministration financial policy.
Major Shreve is a free silver man but
Colonel Moonlight advises hin to be
careful about his position and writes:
''The current feeling is changing very
fast on the silver question, and you
would better not be too sure. l never
have been Il free silver advocate, except
so far as ourown production is concerned
and then only for small change. The
principle is all wrong, Major. There
must be value for value. When Is to
1 silver dollar is worth only4 B cents, the
bullion value, how can you by law force
it to be worth 100 cents? Why not say
that silver dollar of 10 to l is worth
100 cents? Why not say that cents
worth of silver is worth a gold dollsr?
There must be in the two metals when
circulating as currency on which COM
merce, trade, labor, agricultural products,
etc, are based, an equality of value as
nearly as possible, or the poorer cur
rency will circulate and the better cur
rency will hide away. If you had now
500 to lay away for rainy day. which
would you lay away, five $40 gold pieces
or 100 silver dollars? OF course it would
be the gold Why? Bee use its value is
sure, 10 matter what happens, This is
hiding away the better money, Major,
and that is just what everybody is do
ing, hence gold is scarce, and silver
circulates among the common people,
