THE eIMETALLIo COMMISSION,
Great Britain Has Submitted No PROPOSE
tion To Our Representatives.

London, Aug. 6.-Sir Thomas Sander
son, who, as the permanent under sec
retary, ranks next to Lord Salisbury in
the foreign office, said in an interview
with a correspondent: II do not be-
lieve that the British government has
submitted any proposition to the Amer
lean bimetallic ENJOYS. l have heard Of
no meeting between President McKin-
ley's commissioners and Lord Salisbury
at the foreign Office next week. The
report that one will be held 1 deem
untrue. At that time most of the cab
met members will be away. Lord Sails
bury might come to London from Hat
field, but no notice has been served and
most Of the ministers could not be pres
ent"
Mr. Balfour's secretary says no such
meeting has been arranged. The Eng
lish newspapers are now seriously no.
ticing Senator Wolcott's bimetallic COM
mission The Chronicle says, after "au-
thoritatively" announcing a meeting for
next week. which Sir Thomas Sander
son says has not been called, that
Most members Of the cabinet will be
present and Lord Salisbury then is ex-
pected to make known to President
McKinley's ENJOYS the decision of the
British government on the subject of
the proposed extension of silver"
Should Germany tacitly agree to a
proposition agreed upon by the three
other countries, then such a meeting
ss has been predicted for next week
might be held. This progress OF the
negotiations now going on in London is
being kept profoundly secret, but it is
said that England is prepared to make
few minor concessions. London takes
Senator Wolcott and his bimetallic col
leagues more seriously than Paris did.
The French newspapers. including lie

1. A. w. MEET.
Inclement Weather Interferes Somewhat
with the Programme.

Philadelphia Aug. 6-The hustle and
excitement which has prevailed at the
national headquarters of the League of
American Wheelmen since Tuesday,
continued Thursday despite threatening
clouds and occasional showers. League
members are still arriving i'm large
numbers and keep the officials in the
registration department hard at work.
Up to noon Thursday over twelve thou
sand had registered, with new arrivals
coming in by every train. Since the
headquarters has been opened over two
thousand new members have been en-
rolled. During Wednesday night there
was a number of heavy down pours of
rain and at 7:45 Thursday morning, the
time scheduled for the all-day run to
historic Valley Forge, there was an
other fall of rain which compelled
postponement until o'clock At that
hour the weather was so threatening
that it was decied to abandon the run.
The other scheduled run, starting at
o'clock up the Wissahickon valley,
through Fairmount park, got away on
time with a large number of riders,
considering the weather.

FOUR PEOPLE SUFFocATED.
Fatalities Attend a Wedding Frolic ut
Cincinnati, %.

tlncinnati, ".
Cincinnati, Aug. 6.-Three men and
one woman were burned to death
Thursday morning i'm frame dwelling
consumed by fire on Elm street, oppo-
site Charles street The fire started
from the explosion of a gasoline stove.
The building was a two-story frame.
Otto Adler kept an all-night restaurant
IN the lower story of the house in which
the three men and one woman perished.
There were seventeen men and women
i'm one room in the second story of this
house The occupants of the building
refuse all information. None of the
dead were burned. They were suffo-
Gated by the fire in adjacent rooms. The
only exit for escape was blocked by a
bathtub up on end at the head of the
stairway. The smoke came from ar
adjacent room, where the fire was soon
eXtinguished.
1t seems that IL was a wedding frolic,
in which Cuth, one of the dead men, was
the bridegroom, and the daughter of
Landlord Adler was the bride. Still
there is some doubt about who was the
bride, as this is about nearly all the
particulars in the case. The celebrants
of the wedding used beer and cigar
ette very freely and it is now supposed
cigarettes started the fire and that beer
caused the somnolence with which the
up-ended bathtub were indirect causes
of so much fatality. 1t seems that
while four out of the seventeen in the
room were suffocated fatally the other
thirteen suffered but slightly.

Sailed FLYING the Hawaiian Flag.

San Francisco, Aug. 6.-The Pacific
Mail Steamship company's steamship
China sailed out of the port of San
Francisco Thursday flying the Hawaiian
flag. 1t was decided Wednesday by the
officers Of the company to place the big
vessel, which is the crack ship of the
Pacific mail fleet, under the Hawaiian
flag without loss of time, and II is said in
maritime circles that this action on the
part of the company indicates a belief
among the officers Of the company that
annexation of the islands is likely to be
accomplished in the very near future.

stated that the admirals i'm command Of

Cleveland, Aug 6.-Cleveland coal men
are viewing the coal strike situation
with much apprehension. They are
deeply interested in the mass meeting
to be held in the Clearfleld district in
Pennsylvania, which the strike has not
yet reached. Advices in Cleveland are
to the effect that De Armit's mines are
paralyzed and the feeling Is here that
there may be an absolute tie-up. Re-
sumption Of work by several of Cleve-
lands large manufactures will rapidly
decrease the supply OF coal in this city
and much alarm is felt. The Cleveland

which have resumed are using Goo tons

shows that the tin-plate sales from
England have fallen off one-half since
the Mckinley tariff act was passed and
that the American production is steadily
increasing. 1t is claimed by Mr.. O'Beirne
that the slight increase of rates in the
present tariff law over those in the VIII
son law will give the United States
manufacturers the California markets,
which were heretofore supplied from

She has long nourished these designs

has stimulated them. While l do not
think that Japan is capable Of causing

keep an eye on her. These foreign
