A Free Silver Democrats Idea of the
Situation.

Situation.
Detroit, June 2O.-"In my opinion
Senator Teller will be the nominee for
President OF The Democratic party at
their coming convention at Chicago
said Fred A. Bakercone of the silver ex-
ponents of the Democratic party in Mich
igan, today. "There is no doubt that
silver Will predominant at that great
gatherings and it's standard bearer will
be man who stands squarely on the
ISSUE; The fight will be between Bland
and Teller"
Whitney Men Talk of Campbell.
New York, June 20.-Order Is fast
coming out of chaos in the efforts which
sound money Democrats of the East, I'M
der the leadership Of William G. Whitney,
are making to prevent the Democratic
national convention from committing
the party to the silver fallacy. Mr.. Whit
ney is in communication with party
leaders nsmany states, just now his
best efforts are being made to enlist the
corporation of representative Demo-
orats who do not ordinarily participate in
national conventions, but whose presence
at Chicago next month, 1T is thought,
would exert telling influence on the
free silver men. Not the least interesting
Of the days events was the election Of
Mr.. Whitney as delegate to the Sarato-
ga convention from the 18th assembly
district. Daniel 8. Lamont slipped
quietly into town on Thursday nignt and
had conference with Mr.. Whitney.
Mr. Lamont came as the representative
OF the administration, and assured Mr..
Cleveland's New York friends that
the President was very anxious about
the stand the Chicago convention should
take on the currency question. The sound
money Democrats, it Is said, have gone
far enough in their canvass of the situa-
ton to demonstrate that there is little
hope for the nomination of radical
gold candidate.
The name most discussed as compro-
mise between the two extremists was
that of ex-Gov. James e. Campbell of
Ohio. The idea that the Chicago con-
vention might nominate Senator Teller
for President on the currency issue was
ridiculed by Democrats generally. His
candidacy may be no laughing matter,
however. Gov. Campbell, for instance,
said that the silver men Of the West, re-
CARELESS of party, esteemed the Colorado
Senator moat highly. and that he knew
many Western Democrats were friendly
to his candidacy.

ST. P~ETERsBUPG, Jan. 27.-Spcc;als
from EkaterinosIay, in South Russia,
give details Of a fire discovered While q
performance was in progress in the

panic-stricken and many We're trampled
under foot. The building was Of wood,
and the fire spread with great rapidity.
livery effort was made to a V those

was so intense that for some time it
was impossible to approach the struct-

forts to save them would have undoubt-
edly been fruitless, as they We're proba-

them. After the ruins had cooled off
sufficiently, a search was made for the
dead. Forty-nine bodies have already
been taken out. A number Of persons
who are known to have been in the
theater are missing, and there is scarce
" a doubt but their bodies will be

Thousands Of People in Ha-

Prices of Provisions High and
Authorities Are In a
Dilemma.
Feeling Growing in Favor of
Some Sort of a Com

HAVANA, Jan. 27.-The authorities
low have t. face a serious problem
here. The prices of all kinds of provis-
ions are going up rapidly every day.
In spite of this people are focking into
Havana from the country districts and
other provinces, and in many cases the
refugees are people who have lost al
most everything they possessed, and a
very great number of them, here and
elsewhere, are depending upon charity.
The cost of the war has been enormous
and the drain created by provisioning
the army has been very great. Conse-
authorities will have to meet in some
II Or other is causing them a
great deal Of anxiety.
Many Fleeing the Country.
However, there is a large and ever in
creasing exodus of planters and others
from this city, hundreds leaving by
every ship bound for the United States,
Jamaica, Hayti or South America ports.
The increase of crime in all the prov
inces is said to be enormous. Business
is almost at a standstill and commerce
is practically a thing Of the past.
In spite Of this assurance, however, q
feeling Of gloom and depression pre-
walls here. There is no longer any talk
of settling the instruction by a crush
ing blow, and, although the advent of
General Weyler is looked forward to as
likely to be the signal for
More Active Operations
against the rebels, the feeling grows
that the struggle is a most exhausting
one for all concerned and that much
more blood and treasure must be ex-
pended by Spain if the Instruction is
to be quelled by force of arms. Under
these circumstances it is not astonish-
ing that a feeling in favor of some COM
promise arrangement is steadily grow
ing and all eyes are turning toward the
United States as likely to be the great
factor in bringing peace and prosperity
once more to unhappy Cuba.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, n. Y, Jan. &c.
L. Mitchell, a patient at the Mattewan

and for a few hours the buildings were
threatened with destruction. Fire was
at first discovered in the cellar under
the kitchen, which is some distance
from where the patients are confined.
No sooner was the effort made to ex-
tinguiSh the flames than it was discov.
cred that the north wing was also
ablaze, directly under where over 100
patients We're located. Smoke was fast
filling the building and the patients
were terror stricken, especially the
women. Meanwhile several scattering

The Fire Was Beyond Control,

from Fork Hill Landing, about two
miles distant. The Beacon and Temp.
kins hose companies arrived in a short
time and it took the combined forces of

evening to control the fire beyond the
danger point. The men patients, a
dozen or more Of whom had every
opportunity Of escape, worked heroic
ally. Dr.. Atkinson, the superinten.
dent, says the men patients throughout
the building acted in a manner so cool
as to astonish the doctors, who at first
feared a panic among the insane, with
all its terrible consequences. None Of
the patients We're injured in any way.

SAY GOMEZ WILL DIE SOON,
The Insurgent Leader Far Gone With
Consumption.

yIiShs
HAVANA, Jan. 27.-For some time
past reports have been in circulation
here concerning the physical condition
Of General Maxine Gomez, commander
in chief Of the insurgent forces. One
story has asserted that he was suffering
from wounds and that he was seriously
i'll with fever. 1t seems from informal
ton derived from trustworthy sources
that neither Of these reports are COR
rect, but it is positively asserted that
the insur9ent chief is 2 very sicl, man.
1t is stated upon the authority
just cited that the doctors in at
tendance upon General Gomez recently
held a consultation and diagnosed his
case as te.nG an advanced stage Of con
sumption complicated with fever. 1t
is further stated that the physicians
have come to the conclusion that
Gomez can only live about two months
longer. These statements have caused
considerable anxiety among the insur-
gems and their friends, as even though
his condition may be exaggerated to
some Gegre, it is believed the main
facts are correctly stated.

The Hardy German Carp.
Chicago Record)


German carp has been introduced o. late

that carp may be shipped from New York
to Chicago with only wet cloth around
them and bits OF bread soaked in whiskey
IN their mouths. and be none the worse
for the journey. One day an attendant at
the ST. Paul hatchery was passing along
near the pond where the carp live. when
one OF them Topped out ON tina bank. The
attendant took care TO cover II with
leaves and long grass. so that the sun
could not get 10 IL. and left 1t there for
twenty-four hours. Then he put the fish
back into the water. and 1t swan away
as though nothing had happened. The
carp has an odd way of boring down Into
the mud when the weather gets cold,
staying there. deeply Embedded, until the
winter IL well over.
