MAN WHO DREW A PISTOL ON HIM.

SALyADOR'S EX-PRESIDENT SAVED FROM
MAN WHO DREW A PISTOL on HIM
San Francisco, July l4.-An attempt made
to assassinate Carlos Ezeta, eX-Presdent Of Sal
yador in the dining room of his hotel this after
noon The ex President seated at a table
with few Of his friends when Pedro Jiminez, a
native Of Salvador, entered the room. The in
truder walked directly to Ezeta's chair. and.
the latter faced about, Jiminez spat in his face
The ex-President sprang to his feet to resent
the insult when Jiminez drew revolver and
levelled 1t at Ezeta's breast The former dictator
of Salvador retained his presence OF mind, and.
seizing a chair, he held 1t over Jiminez's head
and dared him to fire. In another moment the
would-be assassin dsarmed by Ezetas
friends and hurried from the room.
Jiminez was arrested. He said he for
mery District-Attorney of Salvador under Eze-
tas administration While acting in that
paclty he incurred the displeasure Of the die
tator, who put him to torture. The ex-President
denies the prisoners statement. and expresses
the belief that Jiminez is emissary of Presi-
dent Gutierrez Of Salvador, who construes
Ezeta's presence in San Francisco as menace
to the Savadorean Government

CHARLES S. FAIRCHILD SPEAKS.
HE SAYS DEMOCRATS SHOULD GET IN AND STOP
THIS WILD FIRE"


THIS WILD FIRE"
Spokane, Wash, July H-Charles s. Fairchild
Secretary OF the Treasury under President Cieve-
land during his first administration. who is in
this city on business was by United Press
reporter last evening. When asked for his views
on the financial situation and panks In the two
platforms. he said:
There Is misapprehension on the part OF the
people OF the true functiors of money. They seem
to believe that the Government regulate the
whole matter which Is not the l. Is said that
free coinage would result in larger circulating
medium and as a result there would be rise in
prices and Increase in prosperity. do not hold
that this would be the case. The circulating medium
Is not the amount Of money, but the credits In
this respect confidence In one another aids In ex-
tending the circulating medium. Few. indeed. are
the transactions actually made by use of money,
but in all large dealings It is passage Of credits
or settlement of balances. even consider gold too
cumbersome to be used in transactions.
"Do you believe that by free coinage there would
be an advance In prices?
''I am not but that this would be the result.
You charge more for article in poor money than
YOU do in good and you would get larger prices
for products in the same ratio that silver money
is poorer than gold.
''Those who have debts to pay antedatirg the in
nav in cheaper money. be benefited but this Is a
very small class indeed. What we want Is money
that is good anywhere and on which IS based large
credits"
"Can the free-trade Democrats vote for McKin-
lev even with the gold plank, when the Republic
can party says that the tariff is the issue''
1--WE have tariff enough. and I guess Il won't
hurt to get in and stop this Wild fire.

STORMS AND DISASTER.

VICTORIA, B. C.-tspecial.E IA ter
rible accident oocurrd here
Tuesday afternoon. A sham fight and
review was to take place at Macsulsy
Point near Esquimault in tho aftSr.
noon and crowds were making their
way there By every route. All tram
cars we're packed. Two cars left Gov
eminent street with more that 100
people. The arst got over Point Ell
lice bridge safely but when tho other
WAS about half way over, the middle
span Of tho bridge gave way and tho
car plunged into tho water some hum
dred feet below. The car was COM
pletely submerged and al on board
were drowned with the exception Of
some of those who were standing on
the platform and who, escaping injury
from falling timbers, managed to save
themselves by using floating ruins Of
the bridge and thus got ashore.
The bodies Of stxty-one have been
recovered. OF these hfty-ssven have
thus far been identified. They are
mostly from this immediate neiGhbor-
hood and Seattle. Many Of those
brought up apparently lifeless have
been resuscitated.

THE HOUSE.

The house by . vote Of l65 to SO
passed the bill for repeal Of section
81 Of the present tariff law providing
for debate on alcohol used in the
arts or medicinal compounds. An
amendment was attached to the bill
providing for joint commission to
consist of three members Of each
house to examine and report on all
questions relating to free acohol at the
next session.
Opposition to the measure came
almost entirely from eastern and New
England states. Analysis Of the vote
shows Sc democrats, 1O4 republicans
and i've populists voted for the bill,
and 60 republicans and 9 democrats
against the bill.
Dolliver Of Iowa, member Of the
ways and means committee, spoke In
favor OF the alcohol bill. He ridiculed
the idea Of attempting republican
legislation against the opposition of
the s.inert populistic mass in the sem
ate and the inert free trade mass in
the white house." Dolliver, drifting
into politics, paid his respects to ex-
Governor Boies of Iowa, who, he said,
looking, In vain through the dust and
cobW EDS Of q country Law office for
the presidential nomination, has
joined the anti prohibition element In
love and led the democratic party to
victory. With cutting satire he de-
scribed Boies as firing Of contempla-
ton Of the legal status OF the town
rump and turning his attention to
broader fields.
