No Definite News Yet ms to the Safety
of Anton Fischer.

The doubt cast upon the fate of Anton
Fischer. who intended to sail from Bremen
on the Elbe, was in no wise cleared away
by any new intelligence today. Another
cablegram was sent this morning by Mrs.
Fischer to her brother-in-law. Mr.. Regnier,
in Frankfort-on-the-M Main, to learn if Mr..
Fischer took the train in time to reach the
Elhe at Bremen.
The worst feature of the case is the fail
ure of Mr.. Fischer. IL he is alive. to him
self wire his wife of his safety. Naturally,
Mrs. Fischer and her family are in terrible
suspense. which is telling severely on her.
Mrs. Fischer is inclined to believe the
worst. as she says Mr.. Fischer was always
very careful to keep her advised of his in
tended movements while abroad, and only
two days before the Elbe sailed she had a
letter from him advising her of his plans.
The report yesterday that he had gone by
tram seems to have been an Inference given
out at Bremen. but Mr.. Resnier at Frank
fort. cabled that MIR. Fischer intended to
take the Elbe at Bremen.

POSSIBLE CANDIDATES.

Notwithstanding General Hsrrison's
rather extended visit to New York and
other points East, recently, and the
claims of his admirers that he has made
himself solid in the Empire State, 1t is
evident thst the Morton boom for the
Republican Presidential nomination Is
gaining strength. With such o comb BIZ.
nation as Fl. Clay Evans, OF Tennessee,
for Vice President ticket with Morton
at the head would be both formidable
and popular so ta- as the Republican
national convention Is concerned. The
election OF General McAlpin, Of New
York, TO the presidency of the League
Of Republican Clubs Is taken as o Lean
ing in the direction of the Morton move
ment, especially as in the financial
needs Of club work the president might
find Governor Morton's barrel" use-
full adjunct to party work.
But, whatever may be Governor Nor
toms chances for the Presidential NOM
ination, the enthusiasm with which Mr..
Evans was received by the Club League
convention, and the strong hold he has
upon the Republicans Of the South on
account OF his fight for the governorship
OF Tennessee, point to him as q strong
probability in the matter of the Vice
Presidential nomination. The Republi-
cans will probably nominate Southern
man for Vice-President next year II the
available material can be found there,
and 1t must be admitted that Mr.. Evans
comes nearer towards meeting all the
requirements OF the situation than any
other prominent man OF his party in
this section.

The people OF the farms and the ham
lets are waking up to the fact that the
demonstration OF silver was the work
OF the hired agents of England, the
Benedict Arnolds OF America. For fiftv
years past England has kept o wstchful
eye on this country. Proud Of her SUI
premacy among the nations OF the earth,
she WAS forced to recognize America ga
possible rival and conqueror. England
rejoiced at the outbreak Of the civil
war. divided nation and disrupted
Union meant the perpetuity of Eng.
lands supremacy. Failing here she
aearched for seven years to find some
vulnerable point to strike. The oppor-
tunity came and q Benedict Arnold
came with It, The decentralization CT
silver, the destruction of one III OF the
money of the people of America, was
the work of England. Why should
Americans. of their own free will and
accord, utterly destroy and annihilate
one-half the money of their country?
For man to tear down the house that
protects his family would be no greater
crime.

The Roanoke times. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1890-1895, 1895-06-23

ONE OF the most encouraging signs of
returning prosperity is the activity in
the iron aud steel trade. Mills in all
parts OF the country have resumed
work. and in many places are taxed in
their utmost capacity to meet the de-
mands for their products. Wages Of &c =
ployes have, in numerous instances,
been increased voluntarily and prices
have advanced all along the line with
the tendency still upward. Contem-
plated railroad Improvements have
added largely to the demand for steel
rails. which, as the railroad companies
get into better financial shape. will be
still further augmented. This, in con-
ne ction with the brighter outlook in
nearly every other department. of manu-
facture and trade, is very gratifying to
contemplate, and as all interested in
the iron and steel industry believe the
improvement is permanent in character,
there is no reason why Southwest Vir-
GINA, which depedns so much upon It's
output OF coal and iron, should not, in q
short time, be once more On the high
road of prosperity.

REPUBLICAN leaders affect to be well
satisfied with the action Of the league
clubs on the silver question st the re.
cent convention in Cleveland, Ohio.

silver were in the minority there, it
was equally evident that they had
strength enough to make their presence
felt and prove very embarrassing
factor in the proceedings had It not
been wisely determined to leave the
matter to be disposed OF by the national
convention. The question OF silver
coinage, however. has not been settled,
1t has only been postponed, and the
chances are that unless very large
tub is thrown to the silver whele by the
leaders OF the G.. o. P. when nomina-
