England Flirting
With Free Silver.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-Sir Thomas San
derson, who, as the permanent under
secretary, ranks next to Lord Salisbury
in the foreign Office, says in an inter-
view:
IT do not believe that the British
government has submitted any prop
osition to the American bimetallic en-
voys. 1 have heard of no meeting be-
tween President McKinleyS commits
sioners and Lord Salisbury at the for
eign office next week. The report that
one will be held I deem untrue At that
time most Of the cabinet members will
be away. Lord Salisbury might come
to London from Hatfield, but no notice
has been served, and most Of the minis
ters could not be present"
Mr.. Balfour'S secretary says no such
meeting has been arranged.
The English newspapers are now Sc
riously noticing Senator Wolcott's BIZ
metallic commission. The Chronicle
says, after "authoritatively" announc-
ing a meeting for next week, which
Sir Thomas Sanderson says has not
been called, that most of the members
of the cabinet will be present, and
Lord Salisbury then is expected to
make known to President McKinley's
ENJOYS the decision of the British gov
ernment on the subject Of the pro-
posed extension of silver"
AS cabled two weeks ago, many i'm
portant people have expected that Lord
Salisbury will again make his old
offer to open the Indian mints, and to
withdraw the ten-shilling gold pieces
from circulation. The Statist, the most
important financial publication here,
has inclined to that view, and so has
the Times, qualifiedly.
1t is learned, however, on very near
ly the highest authority, that all such
statements are without foundation at
present. In connection with the very
grave doubts expressed about any
meeting being held before September,
it may be noted that Mr.. Balfour and
the rest of the British government
are firmly Of the opinion that 1t would
harm rather than help any practical
effort to settle the monetary question,
If any offer were to be made by Great
Britain before official negotiations prl-
vately conducted had proved that Eng
land, France, Germany and the United
States were prepared to agree upon
steps to effectively demonetize silver
and to maintain par of exchange. 1t
is believed that Mr.. Balfour has re-
fused to hold any official conferences
with anybody until pretty nearly q
final agreement has been reported.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-Four lives were
lost and fifty-one firemen were in
Jured in an explosion which
took place this evening during a
fire in the Northwestern grain elevator
at Cook and West Water streets. Three
OF the dead are flremen. One man
was blown into the Chicago
river. From the force with which the
explosion swept the-spot on which they
were standing, 1t is certain they must
have been instantly killed. 1t was the
bursting of boiler or the explosion of
mill dust that caused the awful havoc.
The three firemen who were killed by
the falling walls of the elevator were:

TWO TARIFF BILLS.
Comparison of the Old and New
Measures Completed.

Comparison of the Old and New
Measures Completed.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-The com
p1eted comparison of the tariff BILL
prepared by Charles H. Evans, the
tariff expert, was made public today.
The following are some of the COM
parsons, in addition to those given
last week The. average ad valorem
duty of the flax, hemp and jute sched-
ule is lower in the new law than in the
Wilson law. That of the Wilson law
was 1884 per cent. The present law is
451S per cent. The average ad valorem
of the pulp, paper and book scheduls
under the present law is 90.30 per cent.
Under the Wilson law 22.1S per cent.
The average ad valorem of the sundry
schedule under the Dingley law is 1888
per cent; under the Wilson law PATS
per cent. The total value of articles
transferred from the free list to the
dutiable list is placed at $1O1, 1868, 941.
Only two articles were transferred
from the dutiable to the free list. These
were cocoanuts in the shell and sheep

EUT0EOIaY aCCEPTED.
Crefans Prefer 1t as the Lesser
Of Two Evils.

CANEA, Aug. 5.-The belief Of the
Cretans that Djevad Pasha. the new
military commandant, is really charged
by the sultan with instructions to wreck
the autonomy scheme has had at last
one very important result. The depu-
ties representing the principal provinces
have sent to the foreign admirals an
official declaration accepting autonomy
and expressing a desire that the Turk
ism troops should be withdrawn from
the island. This is the first document
of a unanimous character, which has
been submitted to the powers in re-
sponse to their proposition of an au-
tonomous regime.
The admirals in command of the
foreign fleets today, informed the Turk
ish government of their decision to pre-
vent the Turkish squadron, which left
the Dardanelles on Tuesday last for
Crete, from staying in Cretan waters.
The answer of the governor was that
he had received a communication from
the Turkish government denying that
the latter had dispatched a fleet to
Crete and stating that the Turkish
squadron, concerning whose movements
there had been so much comment, was
going to Sigri, Island of Mitylene.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. 5.-The
Turkish government officials are now
manifesting a desire to hasten the
peace settlement, owing to the
straitened state of the exchequer,
rendering it impossible under the pres
ent circumstances to contract a new
loan, because of the unhealthy state of
the troops in Thessaly, where many of
the soldiers are dying, and for political
reasons, the attitude of Bulgaria ,Servia
and Montenegro being regarded as
threatening.
