LoNDoN's RECENT FIRE.
The City Solicitor Declares that It Wasn't
Accidental.


Accidental.
LONDON. Dec. 16.-During the course
of to-day's inquiry into the recent
great fire in the Cripplegate district of
London the city solicitor, Mr.. Henry
Homewood Crawford, made a sensa-
tional statement. He said the inquest
had assumed great Importance. The
expert evidence, he continued, had
proved that the fire was not accidental,
and the evidence agreed that the fire
was started in q stack of clothing in the
show room of Waller & Brown, mantle
manufacturers. Mr.. Brown, he added,
could not escape the fact that he was
the only person in the show room just
prior to the outbreak. and it was only
fair to state, said the city solicitor, in
conclusion, that Mr.. Brown was per-
fectly willing to re-enter the witness
box and give any further details he
could on the subject,

WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-Several
complaints have reached the
Treasury department recently
that large numbers of men bound
for the Klondyke country, but
without provisions or money, are
now being landed at st. Mlchael's,
Alaska. None of the regular
lines of steamers, it is SAID, will
book parties tor the Klondyke
who are not provided with suffi
Gent amount OF provisions and
money to maintain themselves for
a reasonable time without danger
Of suffering. Some of the tramp
lines of steamers, however, are
said to ship anyone who can pay
for his passage, without regard to
the future. The result is said to
be that a considerable crowd is ac-
cumulating in the vicinity Of 81.
Mlchael's, who already are be-
coming dependent upon the char,-
ty of others tor their food. This
unexpected situation, it Is feared,
will lead to trouble before the
winter is over, and the Treasury
department has been asked to in.
terfere to prevent vessels from
taking to Alaska persons not prop
erly provided with subsistence.
No way Of exercising any federal
authority In the premises has
yet been discovered, and it is alto
gether unlikely that in the alb
sence of action on the part of the
states whence the vessels sail, any
restraint whatever can be exer-
cised.-Denver Republican.

mankind. Since then silver has
had only a commodity value. In
spite of that 1t was close to wheat
in gold price only year ago, and
if there had been as good crops
abroad last year and this year as
at home. they would be close to-
gether now. With free silver and
the present short crops abroad,
wheat would be near % q bushel.
The prosperity which the mis-
fortunes Of other countries are

would be relatively better oft.

SILVER AND WHEAT.

1t all the closed mints in the
civilized world should suddenly
be opened to the free coinage of
silver, il at the same time the
product OF the silver mines of all
other countries than our own
should be greatly reduced, and ii
also at the same time, every lead
ing nation should pass a law pro-
hibitiEg the furthur free coinage OF
wheat into flour, thus practically
restricting Its use to animal food,
who can doubt that wheat would
fall below so cents or soar above
~
Precisely the reverse of this
process has taken place and our
gold standard friends ask us to
believe that the denomination OF
silver has nothing to do with its
fall In price. They exultantly
ask us why we don't keep the
price OF wheat and silver together.
The obvious reply is that wheat
and silver did keep close together
from the crimes of 1873 until the
closing of the Indian mints ended
free coinage in any considerable
part OF the world, and finally es-
tablished gold as the money Of
