NATIVE AMERICANS FOR SILVER.
Senator Lodge Observes that in the
West Foreigners are for Gold.

Boston, Oct. Especial to the
Post)-Senator Henry Cabot Lodge is
of the opinion, which he privately ex-
pressed yesterday to a prominent Bos-
ton Republican candidate for office,
that the opposition to the free coinage
of silver in the West comes not from
native Americans, but from foreign
born citizens. The Senator, who is a
close observer, has just returned from
stumping tour of the middle coun-
try.
Il was surprised" the Senator said,
when ] noticed the class OF people
who were against the single standard.
They are not foreigners, as / had un-
derstood, but good, native born Am
orleans, typical Yankees. This is espe-
cially true of Kansas, a State settled
by New Englanders. There the old
settlers and their descendants are al
most solidly against US, and | must
confess that they cannot Zoe called
anarchistic or unpatriotic. This holds
true Of other sections too. The for
eign element in the West is with us to
very great extent. it was certain
ly surprising to me to find such a
condition Of affairs, to find that the
foreign element which had always OPP
posed us IS with us, while the native
born element, which has always been
the backbone of the great American
party, is against u.s.
The Senator refuses to give out a
forecast Of the result in the Middle
West.

BUSINESS LOOKS BETTER.
ADVANCE IN VII Eat WAS T t
SENSATION OF THE WEEK.
The Hopefulness of Traders and the In
crease of Contracts Makes the Out
look Lively.

New York. Oct. 23.-R. d. Dun &
Company's Weekly Review ot trace
tomorrow will say;
The event Of the week has been the
sensational advance of wheat TO %
cents for cash on Tuesday, a rise OF
so cents. and it's fall to ~ ON Thurs
day. gaining IA ON Friday. The rise
was maenifed by covering of specula-
tive sellers who imagined the advance
had none too far but was at bottom
based on an extraordinary foreign de-
mand which has engaged grain vessels
from All Pacific as well as Atlantic
ports for months ahead. How great
fine shortage in ordinary European
supplies may be is the point of don5t
and speculation, but none now ques-
ton that shipments from the sPac1tlc
coast1to India and decrease in Russian
WELD are important, and the buying of
enormous quantities for export, with
engagements of freight room ait higher
rates, express the belief of European
dealers Cotton has advanced q six
teenHh 10 eight cents, with only mod
crate transactions and heavy receipts
from plantations. Estimates of yield
vary all the way from Mr.. 0'Neill's o.,
100000 bales to much less than 100000
but the impression grows that the
WELD will be large.
The most striking feature of indus
trial returns is the number of con-
tracts conditioned upon the election.
These already are enough to make busl-
ness rather lively for time, and many
others are pending which will probably
be held back until November first.
The buying of materials not only adj
vances prices but induces larger pur-
chases of the finished products with
out conditions.
Failures for the week ihave been 247
in the United States against 231 last
year, and so in Canada against 80 last
year
New York, Oct. -Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say: General trade con-
tinues along conservative lines, buyers
and sellers preferring to defer bust
ness until after election. Traders are
more hopeful as to the outlook for
business later in the year and next
spring. The reaction in wheat prices,
after an advance of % cents, is the
natural result of desire to realize
profits, an advance in rates for money
and enormously hepvy receipts of
wheat at primary markets caused by
higher prices. Comparatively small
stocks of wheat in importing coun-
tries, a decrease in the worlds total
production of wheat for two years in
succession UNEXPECTED shortages in
Russia, India, Argentina and Austria
liza, and only an average crop in the
United States are interpreted to mean
that the price of wheat will advance
further

Italian Government Making Inquiries Re
garding Lynching in Louisiana.

Washington, August. 11.-Baron FaVa,
the Italian ambassador, summering at
Bar Harbor, has telegraphed the State
Department, in accordance with oabled
instruction from his government, asking
for official information regarding the
lynching of three alleged Italians subjects
in Louisiana as reported in the news
papers yesterday.
The State Department promptly called
on the governor of Louisiana for full
report of the occurrence in order that a
sussabie reply oan be made to the am
bsssador. II 1t is found that the Italians
were naturalizsd American oitizens, the
inquiry will stop, as the italian govern
meBt can no longer take any interest in
the affair. If, as in the cases of sim liar
lynchings of Italians in Louisiana g and

to the United States, an indemnity will
undoubtedly be demanded. and Congress
asked to appropriate for that purpose, as

But 1t VIII Reach Is or go At Least
Faces Seen At Nearly Every Window
But They Disappeared Before They
Gould Be Rescued.
New York, August 11.-There was q
fatal ere this afternoon in the buildings
at 465, 467 and 469 Greenwich street, oc-
oupied by the A. K. Warren electric
repair works and number of small
firms. In the excitement attending its
outbreak it was reported that at least &c
lives were lost. Some of those reported
lost were afterwards accounted for. An
accurate number of the victims will not
be known until the ruins are searched.
1t is believed the death list will prove
| to be Is or 20. While the iremen were
fighting the flames, the bodies of tive
victims could be plainly seen on the fire
escapes.
Five men and boys were injured while
escaping from the burning building.
They were taken to the Hudson street
hospital, mangled and burned. What
caused the fire Is not known.
1t is known that an explosion occurred
a few minutes after tho fire broke out.
The fire spread like fash through the
building at 465, WHERE the fire originated,
and cut off the escape of many.
The fremen who first reached the soene
of the oonaagration saw a number OF
men at the windows appealing for help.
but before any attempt at rescue could be
reached. they fell back exhausted by heat
and smoke. All are supposed to have
perished in the flames.
About SO men were employed by the
Warren Company, Of these 15 were on the
sixth or top floor, II on the fifth, fou
on the fourth ana couple in the Office
on the ground floor. 1t will be eevera
hours before the ruins cool su ffictently
to allow the iremen TO enter.
Those who claim to have been neal
when the first alarm wasigiven, say facei
were seen at nearly every window. Thai
at least four are dead In the ruins there
can be nc doubt, for their oharred bodies
lie exposed to view on fire escapes on the
third and fifth stories. Two others, one
a girl, were seen to fall back in tine
flames, overcome probably by the smoke
before the fire touched them. Two of the
In jured will probably die.

ESPECIAL TO THE PREss.1
Freoport, August 11.-Upon several o.
casions during the past year or two the
inhabitants of this town have been con-
siderably wrought up by tho occurrence
of fires in the village ofsFreeport and
vicinity. which were thought to have
been incendiary, and the good people here
have come to believe that they have fire
bug in their midst.
At about midnight on the 18th Of June
last, fire was discovered In the base
ment of the dry goods store of Edward
S. Soule in Mallet Block. 1t was SUBJ
dued, however. before making it's way
through the flooring into the store above,
without great damage to the building,
but the goods in the store of Mr.. Soule,
as we'll as those in the store Of Mr.. Brew
ster, adjoining, were more or less dam
aged by the smoke. From the location
and nature of the fire. and thestime of it's
breaking out, 1T was thought that this
was also the work~~of an incendiary. e
About two years it will be remembered
one of the large business blocks in the
village and church adjoining were
burned to the ground by fire occurring
at about the same hour in the night and
originating, it is believed, in manner
similar to that. in.whIoh the last, ono ia
claimed to have originated. The last
attempt at burning aroused popular
demand for a thorough Investigation,
and in response to this demand the mu-
nicipal officers met in the town hall for
that purpose.
The examination of witnesses begun
9. 30 this morning, and occupied the great
est part of the day. The investigation
was held with closed DOORS only one wit
ness being admitted at a time. Fifteen
witnesses were examined and the. inves-
tigation was very thorough one. The
municipal officers have the matter under
consideration and will make their re-
port to the insurance commissioners at O
later date.
