Free Postal Dcl1yerx.

Tho idea of extending free postal de-
liyerv into the county districts is one
which will be greeted with prolonged
applause by the rural residents in gener-
al, and the postof1ice department will
find out moro about its workings than
it ever knew before. Take tho case of

the free delivery system is established in
his district we'll, one will have to I'M

AT SOUTH BEND.

Portland. or, Nov. "a terrific gale,
which began Tuesday night and ragged
thirty-slx hours, cut South Bend 81 from
all telegraphic communication until this
noon. For two days steamers were una
bic to cross WiIlapa bay, and wednes-
day night the local passenger train was
caught between washouts at Frances and
is not expected to arrive until tonight.
Tho wushouts on this end of the line are
not so serious; but 1t is understood that
tho railroad bridge is washed out over
the Chehalis river. In wirapa valley no
serious damage was done except to the
county bridges, two OF them. the Lilly
and staufer bridges, beng carried away
by the flood. The Lilly bridge cost $5NOd
and It's loss is a serious one.
Early Wednesday morning the lumber
schooner Jennie Thelin, which was an
chored of North Cove. dragged her an
chors and went aground ON Empire spit.
Flash signals brought out the North cove
life crew and the men and valuables on
the ship were transferred to the shore
All day Wednesday she pounded on the
spit, but Thursday morning to the sur
prise Of the crew, she came safely riding
in North Cove channel, having worked
herself across the spit. She Is now

L0ND0N'S GREAT
DISASTER
BURNED DISTRICT ONE HUGE FURNACE
or sACULDERING FLAMES.
Aa Appalling Spectacle at Hidnight-EiIl
Take Several DAYS to Ex-
tinguish the Flames.

New York. Nov "a dispatch to the
World from London says:
In Fridays fire streets quarter Of a
mile in length we've tnvolved. 1s ware
houses were destroyed. 800 important
firms and hundrnls Of minor ores were
burned out ami damaged at loss esti-
mated close upon s24oo,OOO. At midnight
the scene was appalling. The flames
had been extinguished but the vast
block OF warehouses. so far as the eye
could reach. right and left. was one huge
furnace filed with mass OF shoulder
ing ruins on which streams from nuIner-
Gus hyirants seemed to make no notice.
able impression. The streets ran like
water through gaping windows of burned
out buildings. while the sky overhead for
miles around reflected the lurid glare OF
still glowing embers. Every avenue lead
ing to the scene of the fire was blocked
by police. The reason why the fire as
sumed such gigantic dimensions was first
because of the highly inAammable ma
terial characterizing the contents OF the
dry goods and tobl co warehouses where
it originated; second, N The extreme diff
ficulty OF handling it effectively owing
to the exceptionally narrow surrounding
streets Few of these streets permit two
vehicles to pass abreast, and the fire
brigade had therefore great difficulty in
manipulating the engines and getting
them into position. Delay thus caused
gave the fire tremendous headway.
In the early stages of the fine the flames
tore up through the elevator shafts of the
warehouses and spread over each succes-
sive floor with Incredible rapidity; then
bursting out through the windows they
roasted fronts of houses on opposite
sides of the streets, until their woodwork
broke into fire.
1t will be several days before the fire
is completely extinguished. and the ruins
thoroughly explored. The conviction IS
general that the london fire brigade is
entirely too small to deal with great
emergency, though the courage and tn
ergy of the men are fully recognized.

the new company win have plenty Of

Colonel McCraken. president Of the
company. said yesterday concerning it:
The company has been Incorporated
since the sth of this month. but II was
considered advisable not to make Its OBJ
jects public until matters had been defn-
itesy closed. A steamer has been Sc
cured on the Atlantic coast, and as soon
as some slight changes can be made In

coast which we expect to close within
the next week. The total freight capac-
ity Of both these steamers. exclusive OF
their coal. will be 1900 tons, and they
will have accommodations for 800 passan-
gers They will ply between Portland
and st. Mictaels connecting at the latter
point with the company's river steamers
for all upper Yukon points.
I'VE have not yet definitely decided Just
how many river steamers we will place
on the Yukon as we are uncertain as to
which of two plans to follow. We are
now considering the advlsability of piac-
ing four 500 ton steamers on the Yukon
TO ply between ST. Michaels and Circle
City and two light draft steamers, with
capacity of $50 tons each, TO run be-
tweon Circle City and Dawson. These
latter boats can make four round trips,
while the steamers between Circle City
and ST. Mchaels are making one.

SECRETARY CAGES
CURRENCY PLAN
HE ExrLilNs SOME or IT'S FEATURES
TO TnE BOSTON JOURNAL.
A List OF Questions rropoHnded to the
Secretary and Answered fully
By HIN.

Boston. Nov s-The Journal this
morning says:
Tho Boston Journal addressed to secre-
,ary Gage letter embodying the follow
ing questions. which cover the points OF
dc,aH upon which doubt as to the secre-
ts.ry's plan % currency a.sforru has been
expressed:
First-You put no limit OF time within
which the secretary OF the treasury shall
substitute intcrcst-bearing bonds for de-
posiis of currency.
Would It not b. fair to make some
limit, and not allow the banks to feel
that you get the money in and they get
no interest, except the saving OF one
half OF one per cent?
second-when you say the government
shall guarantee the payment of all cir
culaung notes OF the banks, do you mean
immediate payment, or only ultimate pay
ment? 1t would make quite a difference
In the treatment OF the notes OF any bank
whose credit became shaky. which course
the government was going to take.
Third-we have also heard questioned
whether It was wise to invest the per
cent guaranty uLd held by the govern
ment IN bonds. as they might tluetuate
In value. and 1t IS suggested that It might
be safer to hold It in money,
Fourth-Is the redemption fund OF 5
per cent to be counted by the banks ds
a part OF their legal reserve?
Secretary Gage replied:
Washington, Nov, Isl avail myself
Of the first leisure moment to reply TO
yours of the 18th inst, in which you
wish me to state more clearly some of
the points in my recommendations. l
will therefore say;
"First-That is the purpose In mind, to
substitute interest-bearing bonds as Sc
curity for circulating notes, in substltu-
tlon of currency previously deposited, as
rapidly as the printing bureau can get
them issued, and in proper form. In fact,
"second-The idea OF requiring a de-
posit of currency to begin with is to make
sure that thera will be no contraction at
all in this operation Money will go out
as fast as 1t comes in. The guaranty
OF the government, l understand to mean
n guaranty for immediate payment, not
ultimate payment.
"Thirl-As to the investment of the 2
per cent guaranty fund II invested in
government bonds, I will sGy that II 2h
per cent gold bonds are issued, the tluc-
tuation will not be violent unless the
debt hereafter should be greatly in
creased, and as the investment would
probably be a growing sum, the risk of q
fall could be easily sustained by that
guaranty fund.
"Fourth-The redemption fund of per
cent q may conclude to recommend 10
per cent instead Of per cent? is not to
bo counted as part of the legal reserve
against deposits.
81 feel much gratified at the friendly
interest you take In the suggestions made
by me- I do not know that they are the
best that could be made, but I feel quite
certain that If they could all be adopted
the government would find itself as
bank of issue (and that Is what 1t will
be for some years to GOMEZ In an enor-
mously better position than It now is.
