An Indications Point to q Straight Ere
Silver Battle Mt the poIIa

All Indications Point to q Straight Free
Silver Battle at the Polls.
The field is fast being cleared for a
straight up anddown free coinage fight
next year. We have Mr.. Balfour de-
claring that he does not believe q
monetary conference of the nations
would accomplish anything at the pres
emit time. This is equivalent to saying
that no conference will be held. We
have English and German gold-bug
papers receiving the declaration with
applause and the comment that it set
ties the matter Of an international
conference for good IN this country
we have the general confession Of the
self-styled sound money men that
when they speak of sound money they
mean gold alone or currency redeema-
Bile in gold alone. This is being ad-
mitted everywhere, so that there will
be no skulking behind disguise in the
campaign. The question has hereto
fore narrowed down to the proposition
that the United States shall re-estab-
Esh free coinage without the
tian of any other country, or that the
gold standard shall continue In force
for an indefinite period. We have
never had faith in an i~nterna-
tional conferences because the selfish
interest OF England is opposed to sill
yer and England will dominate any con-
ference. The great papers Of England
that are controlled by the money own
ing classes made no concealment of
the fact that the single gold standard
operates for the benefit of the money
owners alone and against all other
classes. The vast amounts of interest
which Great Britain draws from this
county are given twice their legitimate
purchasing power while the foods and
products which Britain buys are low
cred to one-half their legitimate price.
An interview with Mr.. William Derry
shows that the people of England
laugh at the United States for our
foolishness in playing into their hands
by our financial policy. Mr.. Derry is
an E~nglishman with interests on both
sides ofthe water and he speaks with
knowledge.
If the free coinage men Of this coun-
try are wise enough to allow them
selves to be guided by patriotism there
is no reason to dispair of success even
so early as next year. The tory policy
OF modelling our institutions to suit
Europe cannot be continued long with

sent the sample to the College of Agri-

In his letter Mr.. Hayne states that the
sample of wild olive is "Forestera Neo-

common in New Mexico and adjacent
borders of Texas and Colorado. and
found sometimes in the Mojave desert

makes a request for several pounds of
the fruit for a thorough test as to it's

that seeds of all varieties of olives from
various soils be sent to the college for

CARELESSNESS
Starts a Roaring Fire at
St. Louis
AN UNExTINGUISHED CIGAR
IGNITEs WASTE PAPER IN THE
WABASH OFFICE
No Deaths, But the Building Is Quilted,
With Losses Aggregating a
Million Dollars

| Associated Press Special Wire.
ST. LOUIS, Oct. PA lighted cigar
cite dropped by thoughtless clerk Is
supposed to have caused the fire which
this afternoon practically gutted the
building at the corner of Seventh and
Chestnut streets, occupied by the gen.
eral offices of the Wabash railroad. The
fire broke out in the attic, which was
stored with old papers and documents
and within five minutes was roaring
furnace. During all this excitement
seven young women employed in one of
the inner mailing rooms on the fourth
floor had not been notified, and We're still
working, unconscious of their peril.
When they did discover their situation,
they found to their horror that it was
impossible to reach the stairs, as the
stairway was burning fiercely, but they
all reached the ground safely by means
of the fire escape.
Without warning the electric wires
We're clipped, and in an instant the
throngs were madly falling back, as
flashes of blue and yellow lightning
sputtered from the ends of the deadly
wires that came falling to the ground.
Nobody was injured, but a wire struck
a fire horse, killing it in it's tracks.
AT 1850 o'clock the roof fell with a
crash. A. r. Field, clerk, was carry
ing some books from the first floor when
the crash came. Flying debris struck
him on the head, tearing 1t open down
to the end Of the nose. He was quickly
removed in an ambulance and his in
juries may result fatally.
The fire came so suddenly that the
Wabash company was prevented from
saving anything. Every record in the
Office of the chief engineer. rights of
way, real estate deeds and surveys OF
every description were destroyed. An
officer of the company estimates their
loss at s5O0O0O. Real estate men place
the value of the building at 100000 The
Wabash company had secured new
quarters before the fire was under con-
troll.

BUNCO MAN GOES FREE
Poker Davis Comes Forward With a
Preponderance of Evidence

The case against w. b. Seymour
charged with enticing another into
gambling resort, was dismissed yester-
day by Justice Morrison. Seymour is
q member of the notorious Poker Davis
gang of bunco steerers. He was arrest
ed on complaint of young man named
John Resch, who said that he had been
buncoed out of $25 in stud poker game
at 431 South Spring street. Although he
positively identified Seymour as the
man who conducted him into the joint
on pretensc of showing him a large
nugget, three other members of the gang
swore with ease that he was mistaken,
and that it was another party named
Robertson who lives in San Francisco
and was down here during the races.
The point was also raised by the
defendants attorney that it had not
been shown that Poker Davis "office"
Is a gambling resort. Absurd as this
position might seem, 1t was a strong
factor in the case. A delay from last
Monday to yesterday was granted to
secure evidence Of the character of the
place. As 1t was not produced Justice
