John Fines Terrible Death.

Apaper from Billings, Montana, was
received this morning by Mrs. Eben
Fine, relating the details of the fire in
which Eben Fines brother John lost his
life last week. According to the paper
Mr.. Fine was sitting asleep in chair,
when sparks from the stove ignited the
flooring. When he finally awakened the
flooring in the vicinity of the stove had
burned away and the stove and a quantity
of goods had fallen through to the
ground below. Blinded by smoke, Mr..
Fine in attempting to escape fell through
the hole in the floor. He then crawled
along the ground toward the front wall
of the foundation, but was overcome by
the dense smoke and was suffocated to
death. The body was not found for two
days after the fire, as it was supposed he
had left town on business, and hence no
effort had been made to search for it.

TALKED OF RESIGNING.
Secretary Gage Follows the Example of
ColoradO's Statesman.

Colorado's Statesman.
Washington, Dec. 28-As a result of
the attack on his financial policy by SEN
ators WolCott, Hansbrough and other
bimetallic and silver statesmen, Secretary
Gage has offered to resign his portfolio
Of tie treasury. This was done during
visit to the president last week. The
president, however, gave Mr.. Gage to
understand that his resignation was not
desired and treated lightly the criticism
which led to the offer. Itis not believed
that Secretary Gage offered his reslgna-
ton seriously and it is understood that
he is not greatly dismayed over the re.
ception given his remarks to the house
currency and banking committee. No
other result of the secretary's offer to
resign is expected.
The president stated that he could not
blame the secretary for presuming that
the international monetary commissions
effort was failure considering the result
of the commissions trip abroad. Mr..
Gage is expected to return to Washing
ton tonight.
