And the Employees Get short Va
cation.
Lawrence, Mass, Oct. 25.-The WASH
ington mills, which form one OF the larg-
est cotton and dress goods manufacturing
firms in the city. was badly damaged by
fire which broke out half an hour before
midnight Every fire engine in Lawrence
was on the grounds for several hours.
and 1t was not until past 1870 this morn
ing that the flames were subdued.
Mill No. 4 and the drying room ad-
joining, where the fire started, were prac-
tically Quilted, and much of the stock
and finished goods in the other mills
we're damaged by water.
The flames spread from the drying
rooms to the main part of No. mill,
structure 300 feet long, adjoining the four
other large mills and containing much
valuable property. The fire spread from
Nc mill to the weaving and drying
rooms in the rear, and ignited the river
mill, on the. banks of the canal The
flames were checked after hard fight,
and the river mill sustained little dam
age. The fire burned in No. mill for
several hours and left 1t In ruins.
The fire started from spontaneous com
bustion among wool, and at an early
hour this morning the stock Ia No. mill
was still burning furiously, although all
danger of the fire spreading was past.
1t is estimated the loss to the Wash
ington corporation will be 500 OO0, and
may possibly reach $4,000, fully insured.
About $500 operatives are employed by the
plant when it is running to it's full ca
pacity, and all will be thrown out of
work for 10 DAYS

GOLD BANKER CHANGED TO BRYAN
G. H. Huiina of OnISesdaIe Comes Out
for Free silver.

Oakesdale Wash, Oct. 25.-Consterna-
ton was thrown into the camp of the
gold forces this week by c. r Huling, a
wealthy banker and money lender, who
has always been supposed to be a gold
man, coming out for Bryan and free sill
yer. In two column article published
in local paper MIR. ruling gives his rea-
sons for favoring the cause of the white
metal He favors an income tax on all
net incomes exceeding 81, 600 per annum
although this would mean several hun
dred dollars out of his pocket annually.
In conclusion Mr.. Huling says:
Il never made other than gold con-
tract in my life l am willing, if Bryan
is elected, that any and all parties hav-
ing dealings with me should discharge
the same with silver, paper or any other
currency issued by the government. I
hope the one thousand or more parties
residing in Spokane and Whitman coun-
ties with whom I have had money deal
ings in the past five years will read care
fully my views on the money question,
and then go to the polls and vote their
honest convictions without fear, favor or
intimidation. If your interest lies with
the monopolists or gold bugs. l expect
you will vote for Mckinley. On the other
hand if your interest lies with the toll
ing millions of farmers and laborers. then
vote for Bryan and free silver. Bryan is
my man and shall vote for him."

BILLIONS FOR PENSIONS.
STARTLING FIGURES FROM THE
PENSION OFFICE REPORT.

The Roll Stll Increasing - $5S2,735
Paid TO 3,7SI Pensioners Who Re-
side in Foreign Countries How
the Money Is Distributed Among
the states and Territories.
From the New York Sun.
The pension roll is increasing, according
to the report of the Secretary of the In
rior. During the past fiscal year, ending
on June 30, 1896, the sum of S1332l4, 76l was
paid to $40, 67S pensioners. This number is
greater by 4.66e than in 1898, when the ex-
penditure aggregated Sl6l, T74,2S2, and is
greater than ever before. The increase in
the number Of pensioners is accounted for
by the death of old soldiers and the con-
tinued payment of allowances to their
wives; the decrease in the amount paid is
explained by the death Of invalid pension
ers leaving no dependents, and of pension
ers drawing the largest pensions. on June
80 there were 1864 cases pending, of
which 176,5S5 are original claimants. which
promises further increase of the roll
during the coming year. The total amount
paid in pensions and the cost of disbursing
the same in the last thirty-one years is
$2.0S4 S17. 769. lacking only 1916 liz, 525 of be-
ing equal to the high-water mark Of the
interest-bearng public debt and is nearly
two and one-half times the public debt as
existing on Oct. 81, 1896
1t may be interesting to know that s.7s1
of our pensioners reside in foreign coun-
tries. and that the total amount paid to
them last year was 1852. 735.3 49, Canada
heads the list with 1889 pensioners, who
received S2S94OS. Great Britain comes next
next with 6G5 pensioners, TO whom s1O2. -
1853 was paid. In Germany there We're col
pensioners, who drew $92,S7S; and we have
pensioners in nearly every country on the
face of the globe and in the islands of the
sea. Here are some Of them:
The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1896-12-08

The Secretary. of the Interior aptly re-
marks that the large expenditures for
pensions is striking evidence of the lib
crafty of our government and Of it's graft
tude TO those who defended 1t in time Of
peru; that while the policy of the depart
ment in the allowance of pensions has
been broad and in consonance with the lib

purpose has been to make the pension list
a roll of honor and that the general public
sentiment, irrespective Of political ahilia-
