August Belleville, night Waterman at
the LaBelle iron works, was badly
burned about the face and head early
yesterday morning. He went into one
OF the buildings to warm himself, and
poked up the fire in stove, that the
boys who worked there in the day, had
filled with slack. The flames flew out
Of the stove, burning his face and
smuggling his eyebrows and the hair of
his head. II was about . o'clock in the
morning when he awakened Harry g.
Stewart, the South Side druggist Mr..
Stewart gave him the necessary linl-
ments to ease his pain.
Mr.. Stewart proiiting by the expert
ence of his brother druggist, the morn
ing previous, was a walking arsenal

first,

A Messnge ON Money.

II is interesting to hear that the Pres
ident will send to congress shortly a mes
sage on the money question. He has
possibly become little uneasy about
John Wanamakers "pessimism" and the
authentic information that there is all
over the country a lot more of just
such pessimists. who have grown tired
of sitting on the fence and whistling for
the return of prosperity while a stiff wind
is blowing, and he will therefore take an
other step in the direction of his party
platform, in the hope that it may cause
something to turn up.
The information is that on or about
June p he will send in a message, which
will be followed by an administration bill
proposing a commission of eleven 70 fif-
teen members. to consider the currency
question and report to the next session of
congress. 1t is a possibility that some eff
fort may be made to pass a currency re-
form measure at the extra session, though
there is some doubt about that. 1t is
practically certain that no measure in
tine with Secretary Cages plan could be
passed through the Senate as it is now
constituted. The free silver people are
in control Of the Senate. and they would
not permit the passage OF any bill which
did not embody their ideas. They are not
yet willing 20 make concessions, even If
the other party were TO propose them.
Whether the situation would be different
at the commencement of the next session
remains TO be seen.
The Presidents message, however. will
be read with considerable interest in all
parts OF the country. He may be able
TO say something which will aid in hur-
rying along the good times, which Secre-
taFy Gage says are on the way. He may
be able to prove to the country that the
republican party really means 90 make an
effort to live up to its promises made dur
ing the campaign. At all events. a mes
sage from him will show that the admin
istration has not forgotten what IL was
placed In power 20 do. whether or not 1t
succeeds In doing II.

The wife of Dr. Ruiz has fled a claim
| for $4,000 against the Spanish govern
ment for the death of her husband. 1t is
intinnated in Washington that this gov
eminent will back up the demand, upon
the ground that Consul General Lees re-
Port shows that Dr. Ruiz's death, while
it cannot be positively traced TO violence
at the hands of his Spanish jailers in
Cuba, can be traced to the fact that he
was at the time in Jail in violation of the
treaty between the United States and
Spain. Had he been accorded his rights
under the treaty, his case would have
come to a hearing long before he received
the injuries from which he died. He
would probably have been acquitted, and
thus would have escaped the injuries
whether self-inhicted, or inflicted by his
guards with murderous intent-and would
in all probability have been alive to-day.
This, as a matter of fact, seems to be
about all there is in the Ruiz case as 1t
stands at present There has been a great
deal Of unnecessary fuss made about the
matter, with view to clouding the issue
and working up sympathy for the in
surgents. Many of the members of con-
gress are said to be in favor of sending
the demand for indemnity for Mrs. Ruiz to
Spain upon the point of a bayonet. They
want the money for her, or they want
blood they would, indeed to judge from
their talk, prefer to have the latter. Was
not Ruiz an American citizen? they ask;
and shall this country not burn powder
and shed blood in behalf of the rights of
its citizens?
The people who would have to burn the
powder and shed the blood, as well as pay
the expenses, are not over anxious to
make the Ruiz case an excuse for fight.
They bear in mind that Dr. Ruiz was one
of those Americans for protection only"
He lived in this country just long enough
to comply with the law and secure natu-
ralization papers; then he returned to
Cuba, and lived there to the day of his
death. His sympathies and interests were
all with Cuba and in Cuba. He was Amer
lean in nothing except his naturalization
papers. 1t is doubtful if he was known
even among his intimate friends as an
American. He kept up his registry at the
American CONSULATE as required py law 10
do, probably in order that he might fall
back upon the records in case of need.
But for nearly twenty years he was not
in the United States as a resident. Sena-
tors Morgan, Mills, Turpie Chandler and
others want the United States to stand by
such Americans" even to the extent of
involving the country in a war. The real
Americans-the people who pay the taxes
and fight the battles-are not in favor of
being in a great hurry to do any such
thing.

senator Jones Explains II.

Senator Jones of Nevada has a Story
to fit every case, and he has one regard
ing the reports in the newspapers about
the corruption of the Senate, says the
Washington Post. Many years ago, the
senator said, he was secretary of a re-
publican campaign committee in Califor-
MIA One day young man came along
and wanted employment as a campaign
speaker. He claimed that he could do
good work in that line
I'VE don't employ any one until we
know what he can do said the chair
man of the committee. Stand up on that
table and snow what you can do"
The applicant did so. He made a mild
speech, pointing out how much better
the republican party was than its rival,
and giving statements of wrong-doing by
the democrats in clear. easy manner.
Hold on" said the chairman, that will
never do. We want something lively;
something that will stir 'em UP. Can't
you give us something in that line?"
In voice full of emotion, and with
many wild gestures and fervid declama-
ton, the candidate denounced the demo-
cratic party as thieves, liars, cutthroats,
pickpockets and deep-dyed villains. He
was going along in a fine frenzy, when
the chairman stopped him.
That win do; you're engaged at 800 a
week"
Senator Jones says some of the news
papers engage their reporters on the same
basis
