FINANCIAL VIEWS OF MIR. GAGE.
Those Flying Around Said To BE Very
GarbIed and Misleading.

Washington, Oct. 16.-Various garbled
and misleading statements are going out
purporting to represent Secretary Cages
latest views and to be outlines, more
or less skeletonized, Of his financial plan.
Most of these statements are based on
an understanding Of what was con-
tanned in the circular letter sent out
last spring, and have been much modi-
fed by developments since then. Cages
views are by this time fully matured,
but he has not put them in writing and
has not discussed them in quarters
where there is any possibility OF leak.
Secretary Cages attention was called
to what purports to be an authorized
statement of his financial plan which
appeared in a Philadelphia newspaper,
based as nearly all the others have been.
on crudely given presentation of the
substance of last springs circular letter.
Assistant Secretary Vanderlip, after d
consultation with Gage, made the fol-
lowing statement: LAS a summary of
the proposals which the secretary did
submit to the leading fnanciers few
months ago this report is 50 garbled as
to represent practically nothing of his
real suggestions. Moreover, even If this
should be attached TO it, since the sec
retary's proposals were tentative, and
were submitted to financiers TO see what
they thought of them, without definitely
committing even Mr.. Gage himself 20
their support.
Besides, his own view has changed
somewhat with his study OF the sub
ject, and certain plans which he might
have favored three months agoh he would
not advocate today. The general situa-
tlon has quite materially changed, and
the secretary's real plan will not be
given out i'm any way until submitted
10 congress-" 1t Is not improbable that
Secretary Gage has been brought TO a
realization that the present congress
is extremely unlikely to favor or adopt
any plan looking TO the refunding Of
the national debt with a low interest
bearing gold bond, and those who are
close TO him incline to the opinion that
for expediencys sake he will not strong
ly urge the proposition at this time.
II is believed. however, that he will
pay considerable attention to the de

meeting OF experts in Washington on the

bles that Professor Thompson, the Brit
ish expert, was TO sail yesterday. II is
expected that the conference of the del

lean and British experts will probably
take place a week later. A recent al
nouncement from Ottawa was to the ef-

TAKES A LOOK BACKWARD.
Justice Fields Review of His Own Career
-kckenna to Succeed.

Justice Field continues his letter to
his associates as follows: MY judicial
career covers many years of service.
Having been elected a member Of the
supreme court of California. 1 assumed
that office Oct. 13, 1857. holding it for
five years, seven months and five days,

justice. On the 10th of March, 1863, 1
was commissioned by President Lincoln
q justice Of the supreme court of the
United States, taking the oath Of office
on the 10th day of the following May.
When my resignation takes effect my
period of service on this bench will
have exceeded that of any of my pre-
decessors, while my entire judicial life
will have embraced more than forty
years. 1 may be pardoned for saying
that during all this period, long in COM
parison with the brevity of human life,
though i'm the retrospect ii has gone

TOWN WIPED OUT OF SIGHT.
Windsor, n. -, Nearly Totally Destroyed

Halifax, y. s., Oct. 1S.-H istoric Wind
sor, one Of the most beautiful towns in
the province, was devastated by fire yes
terday morning. For six hours, begin
ming shortly before a. m., the fire,
famed by a violent northwest gale,
ragged so fiercely that the local fire de-
partment was absolutely helpless to
after its discovery the mayor began to
call for outside assistance. Long be-
fore noon the town had been eaten up
almost completely, the area covered by
the flames being nearly a mile square,
and of the 400 or more buildings oc-
cupying the section barely half dozen
scorched structures remained. No Nova
Scotia town has ever been visited by a
conflagration of such dimensions. OF
few have homes of their own now.
Over 5000 have taken in by the resi-
dents Of the surrounding country and
neighboring towns, while the remainder
of the sufferers have gone to Halifax
or are sheltered in army tents erected in
the vacant plots by a detachment of
British troops from the garrison city.
The disaster is appalling in it's extent.
The fire started in a barn behind the
ness district. The high gale prevailing
carried the flames to other buildings be-
fore the firemen had time get at work.
The total loss is estimated at 50, 900 900,
with barely 100000 insurance.
