LONDON. Sept 23-The protest which
tho London bankers drew up at their
meeting i'm the clearinghouse yesterday
against the policy OF the governor of the
Bank OF England ln announcing its will
ugncss 20 maintain one-hfth of its bull
lion reserve iu silver. was presented 20
The bank to-day.
The resolution is accompanied by
formal letter. and the resolution Itself is
in the name Of the Clearinghouse Asso-
citation. though not all the members were
represented at the meeting, majority OF
the membership was represented. ana
unanimously adopted the resolution,
which is as follows:
THAT this meeting entirely disapproves
OF the Bank Of England agreeing 10 eX-
ercise the option. permitted by the act Of
1874 Of holding One-htth or any other pro-
portion whatever of silver. as a reserve
against the circulation of the Bank Of
England notes
An organized movement was begun 20
induce other commercial bodies 20 protest
against the announcement OF the gov
ernor Of the Bank OF England.
A high official. who was "a participant
IN the negotiations between the United
States Timetable Commissioners and the
British Cabinet. said to-day TO a repre-
sentative OF the Associated Press:
"I fear the bankers will frighten the
Government into recedinc from their stand
for bimetallism They have forgotten
that Parliament unanimously resolved
measures to secure staple par Of ex-
change between gold and silver, and Sir
Michael Hicks Beach. the Chancellor Of
Exchequer, pledged himself TO do all IN
his mower to carry the resolution into
effect.
"The English public have forgotten also
that ten OF the fourteen members Of the
Agricultural Commission signed a report,
recommending bimetallism as palliative
for the agricultural depression in
England. The public and the
newspapers seem 10 think the Govern
ment Is influenced merely TO desire the
good will of the United states. hence the
declaration to carry out the policy OF the

Disastrous Blaze in Small Ohio Town
Many Injured.

CHILL1COTHE. o.. Sept 2}.-All en-
tire square in the village OF Bainbridge,
containing most Of TIE business houses,
several handsome residences, and the
Methodist church, was entirely destroyed
bv fire this afternoon and two prominent
business men lost thc'r lives in am cx-
plosion which occurred in the drugstore
Of vs.. Il. Beardsiey.
The ire was started in a barn I'm the
rear of Perriu Brown general store by
two boys who were playing with matches.
Beardsley's drugstore adjoining, was next
ablaze. and with the limited means at
hand for fighting fire. the flames became
uncomfortable.
In the midst Of the excitement an ex-
plosi0n occurred in the drugstore and
Mr.. Beardsley. who was inside endeavor-
ing to save some of his property, lost his
life in the ruins.
His brother-in-law, Inomas Hoggins,
who went to his rescue, was unable 10
get out, and was burned 10 death, while
several others were more or less injured
but none fatally.
There was "a sun breeze blowing, and
tho flames getting a fresh start from the
burning oils and chemicals in the wreck
ed drugstore, lcaped from house 10 house,
until It was evident that the entire town
was doomed.
A message was sent TO Waverley and
70 this city asking for aid. and both fire
departments promptly responded. The
Baltimore ana ohio Southwestern and
Ohio Southern railways sent special
trains with the engines. but they did not
arrive until almost clock. nearly three
hours after the first alarm was given.
The best they could do was 10 prevent
the fire communicating TO other squares.
After the destruction Of Beardsleys
drugstore. the following property was
consumed:
Methodist church. Armstrong Livery
Stable. j. II. Heads store, Ogle's saloon,
Brshmans barber shop, Dr. Mckee s
residence, S. X. Morrson's residence, $.
Beardley's residence. Houser's grocery
McDus millinery store and Andrew AL
dcrmaus shoe Store.
But two houses were left standing on
the square, both being private residences
owned by Pcrul Moore
The estimated loss is $4,000.
The bodies of Beardsley and lioggins
were found on the floor about fifteen feet
from the front entrance mutiiated and
burned beyond recognition.

Nearly all the delegates who ad-
dressed the board dila ted on the mill
lions that had been expended since the
.levees were constructed. They told Of
atheenormous amount Of taxes raised to
defray the expense Of keeping up the
levees, and nearly all of them COM
planned Of empty treasures, devastated
lands and an impaired credit. They all
stated that they had gone to the limit
of taxation. They declared that twas
absurd to tax land owners who
had lost everything by floods. It was
shown how impossible it was to issue
bonds. The whole burden Of the argu-
ment was the necessity Of the govern
ment's lending helping hand. With
the levees repaired and the land protect
ed no additional help would be required.
Mr.. Sellers, of Mississippi Qower dis
trict), stated that it would require 12,-
10o, 900 yards of earth to repair the
damage done. The estimate made Of
expenditure by districts ranged from
$s,00O,0OO to $l1, 100000 II.
Many Of the delegates told of the
benefit of the 100000 Immediately
made availab ble by congress out of the
$2,933,333 appropriated. The state
ment was made that there was no levee
capable Of sustaining another flood like
that which has passed. All the leyee
districts represented had reports Of
the districts made since the flood.
Engineer Startling, of the upper Mis-
sissippi district, stated it would require
1l,O0O,oO0 yards of dirt to repair dam
age done by the last flood. He said
that two-thirds of the levees were rot
ten,' being made of rails with loose
dirtbetween. He said $140,O00 was spent
during the last food by the districts.
Mr.. Startling claimed that his district
was the worst on the Mississippi.
Many Of the delegates pointed out that
the first-class levees resisted the en-
croachments of the flood. 4 Judge Prin-
dell, of Arkansas, maintained that tho
Mississippi was great national high
way and should be protected by the ma
tional government. &se:g.ess5. ss5 2.s
