FIGHT 1T OUT.
Where VIII BimetallistS Who Voted
for Mckinley StandY

1Or mCAln1ey SEanOS
There are two ways of looking at the
report of the self-constituted "mone-
tary commission" 1t is outspoken for
the single gold standard and in favor
of the national banks issuing all paper
money and of course securing the
profits of so doing.
One way of meeting this is to protest
and to fight it in congress. It is easy
to demonstrate that it will result in a
further enhancement of gold in it's pur-
chasing power, and, consequently must
cause another drop in prices and fix a
policy of falling prices upon the coun-
try. This is so fatal to the interests of
the producer and is so serious matter,
involving, also, vital moral and social
questions, that the first impulse is to
take any course, promptly and ener-
getically, to prevent it.
But another view is to say to these
gold worshipers: Go on, eat gold, grind
it up as the Israelites did the golden
calf, and drink it; have it for break
fast, dinner and supper, if you WILL
but remember you will finally meet a
just retribution. To use another figure,
give them all the rope they need to hang
themselves. For we know that the peo-
pie of this country will finally awake
to the enormity of this policy. The in
cubus piled upon them by the money
monopolists will at length be lifted. 1t
may be by a social earthquake or vol
cano, but when that time comes the
work will be thoroughly done,
If we favored this last policy for ou
friends in congress, to let the money.
lending clique have their way, led by
the monetary commission" and Sec
onded by Secretary Gage, we should
soon find out how many of the BIZ
metallists who voted for Mckinley are
true to their convictions.
They now know that there is no hope
for international bimetallism. Will
they put their necks under the yoke and
become gold monometallists, or will
they take a manly stand for American
policy, which must eventually prevail
and which simply treats the two metals
as they were treated in this country for
a hundred years, that is, with perfect
equality both in the laws and in the
execution of the laws?
For our own part, we believe in fight
ing the ground inch by inch and believe
we can, even in this congress, defeat
any further step towards gold mono.

Losses.

Seyen-StOry ONCE Building, the Property
of Levi z. MOrtone Dstroyed-List of the
Losses.
New YORK, Feb. 12.-Levi P. Nor
toms seven-story Office building, with
frontage on Nassau and Ann streets,
and known as the Nassau chambers
building, was completely destroyed
by fire last night. The fremen had
hard battle, and for three hours
there was every prospect of a great
conflagration.
The Derby Desk Co., occupied both
the Nassau and Ann street stores and
the basement of the building, where
the fire originated, was occupied by the
Herald Cycle Co.
From the Nassau chambers the fire
spread to the four-story building adj
joining, and the clothing store of
Maduro Brothers on the ground floor
was quickly in flames. The loss here,
also, will be practically complete.
Several firemen were badly cut by
flying glass and debris, but none seri.
ously injured.
The Murray stationery store occupied
a small frontage adjoining the Derby
Desk Co. on Nassau street, and the con-
Germ has very little, if anything, left.
The upper part of the Nassau cham
bers was occupied by lawyers as of
fees, and a number of manufacturing
concerns also had offices there. All of
them suffered severely from the fire.
The Bennett building, at the south
west corner of Nassau and Ann streets,
caught fire several times, but was ex-
tinguished.
The loss is estimated at present at
half a million, the larger share OF
which will be born, by the Morton in
terests, although it was stated they
are well insured.
The Derby Desk Co., and the Maduro
Brothers are mentioned as the next
heavy losers.

The Currency Question.


Herald-knowing as many did that Mr.,
Guernsey, it's editor, was not without
the requisite strength of character to
maintain his honest convictions-was
not little puZzling to those who had
watched it's career. This change of SEN
timent in the Herald occurred about the
same time the Mexican railroad tariff
association began the consideration of
the sliding tariff scale referred to above.
Assuming that the course of the Next
can Herald on the currency question
was directed from the business office in
stead of the editorial room, and assum-
ing to be true also the rumor that the
Mexican Herald is the organ of the Mex
lean Central railroad, the change of base
on the currency question is easily ex-
planned. This change continued nearly
up to the time of Mr.. Bryan's arrival,
when the silver key was struck again
and the whole machine responded to
the touch. There are two conclusions
to be drawn from this-one is that hope
lessness of the attempt of the Mexican
Central to have its sliding scale of tariff
adopted by the government, and the
other, that while Gen. Diaz is president
and Mr.. Limantour secretary of the
treasury the honor of the peso willgbe
maintained. My reference to the Next
can Herald in this particular, and the
conditions which produced the chaos
and left the paper floating about in an
uncertain sea, without captain and
without compass to guide it in its
deviating course, is for the sole purpose
of dispelling the impression which such
a course created in the states of the I'M
certainty of the Mexican government on
bimetallism. That principle is fixed.
immovable. The power of corporations
cannot shake it. Neither can their
press, with it's sinuous movements, dis
turb it. This point will be made clear
by Mr.. Bryan in his forthcoming papers,
which will have the effect of settling
once for all the doubt about the perm
ancy of bimetallism in Mexico.-''Sko.
lastikos," in Los Angeles Herald.

THE TANANA VALLEY.

A Supplementary Report Made by E. Haz-
ard Weus-Brftian Doesn't Own All The
Gold.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-Pursuant to
| instructions from the acting secretary
| of war, special supplementary re
port has been prepared by Mr.. Z. Haz-
| ard Wells, who acted as agent for the
war department in bringing attention
to Capt. Rays dispatches. Mr.. Wells
has been in the country three times,
has traversed interior Alaska in many
directions, and has practical knowl-
edge of the country that is possessed
by few persons. He says, among other
things:
There are undoubtedly large depos-
its of gold in Alaska, rivaling those of
the British Northwest territory l no.

on the Tanana river and in other locali-
ties in 1890. l discovered true assure

of which | secured to take out to

quently lost in a river catastrophe.
Numerous creeks entering the Upper
Tanana revealed colors of gold in the
sands.
''All of the gold-bearing streams of
Alaska SO far discovered, viz: Birch
creek, Miller creek, Forty-mile creek,
Sixty-mile creek, Seventy-mile creek,
head in the vicinity of the Tanana river,
and flow away to the northwest. On the
southwestern side, and heading near
the Tanana, are the noted Copper and
Sushitna rivers, the latter being the
collaborating stream which recently
came into prominence through the pla-
Ger discoveries on Cooks inlet. The
Copper river is popularity supposed to
be located in the heart of mineral
belt. 1t is reasonable deduction that
if all the streams flowing away from
the Tanana to the northeast and south
west bear gold, that the Tanana it.
self must cut through a gold-bear-
ing country. This opinion is shared
by nearly all of the old time
miners now located in Dawson.
Recently excellent prospects were dis
covered upon an American creek, a
tributary to the Yukon, in Alaska, just
below Forty-mile creek. Miller creek,
Birch creek and other streams within
the boundaries of Alaska in the Yukon

Tic Unpleasant De LONE Incident Re-
garded as CIOsed-The Acceptance of
His Resignation Taken by Our Govern
ment as a Sufficient Settlement Magnan-
imous Action that is Likely to be Mis-
understood at the Spanish Capital.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-The personal
Incident, growing out of the publica-
ton of Senior Dupuy De Lome's letter
to Senior Canalejas, may be regarded as
closed. This has been brought about
by the short cablegram sent by Minis.
ter Noodford from Madrid, in which he
states the minister had resigned and
his resignation had been accepted be-
fore he (Mr. WoodforA presented the
request of the United States that he be
recalled.
The officials here feel an interest in
learning the details OF the happenings
in Madrid Thursday, and are waiting
for Mr.. Woodford's promised full re-
port. But unless this should contain
some statement that is not now ex-
pected, there is no disposition on the
part of the government to protract
the closing of this unpleasant incident,
and 1t is not expected that anything in
the nature of demand for an apology
will be made.
If graceful disclaimer should come,
that will be taken in the spirit in which
it is made; otherwise the matter will be
dropped and the relations between the
state department and the Spanish lega-
ton will run smoothly once more
through the medium of Senior Don
Juan Dubosc, the first secretary and
now charge d'affaires.
1t can be said for the president that
he shows little personal concern in the
matter as it stands, and is not disposed
to pursue Mr.. De LONE in any personal
spirit, and with this spirit in the head
of the administration the end of the
affair may be said to have been reached.
Charge d. Af.aires Senior Don Juan Dubosc.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 12.-As the repre-
sentative of Spain Senior Don Juan Du-
bose called at noon yesterday at the
state department and presented in
writing the notification of the Spanish
government that the resignation of
Senior Enrique Dupuy De LONE had
been accepted and that Senior Dubosc
was authorized to represent his govern
ment as charge d'affaires ad interim.
The notification was purely formal,
giving the facts of transfer, without
mention of the incident leading up to
it. Having assumed his duties, Mr..
Dubosc paid a call of respect to the
state department. He was not accom-
panied by Senior De LONE.
The incident is regarded as closed, so
far as Spain is concerned. How the
United States will regard it, the lega-
ton does not know, of course.
Senior Dubosc, the new representa-
tive of Spain, was seen at the legation.
He looks more like an Englishman
than a Spaniard, being tall and OF
heavy build with no Spanish in his ac-
cent. His mother was an English
woman and he was trained at Oxford.
For the present he asked to be excused
from discussing Spanish affairs.

PITTSBURGH, Pa, Feb. 1.-THE work
of searching for bodies in the ruins of
Wednesday nights awful fire contin-
ues, but no more bodies have been
found. The debris is still piled ten feet
high, however, and as more than a
score of people are still missing, the
work will be continued without cessa-

more dead are buried beneath the de-

That more people were killed Chief
HUMPHREYS of the fire department says
there can be no doubt. He saw the
walls go down in the midst of a great
mass of humanity huddled together in
a small space, and while he did
not care to estimate the num-
Der of people killed, he says it
will be largely in excess of any
estimate yet made. The search for the
bodies is attended by great danger, not
only from weakening walls, but from
125 tanks of anlydrade known to still
be in the smouldering ruins. Anlydrade
is ammonia in its most powerful state,
and its ignition would result in an ex-
plosion which would cause incalculable

Bryan's trip through Mexico was like

end. He was accorded welcome, from
the time he entered the country until
he left, such as no private citizenof any
country ever received there. The only
way I can describe it is by saying that
the 500 miles from Nuevo Laredo to the
CITY of Mexico seemed like one long

WHEREAS, The continuance of the barbarouS
warfare of Spain in her attempt to subjugate
the patriots of that republic is in violation of
the law of humanity, is menace to the free
dom and progress of the people of the west
ern hemisphere and is full justification
for a demand by the government of the United
States that Spain shall withdraw her land and
naval forces from Cuba and Cuban waters. and
shall leave the republic and her people to the
enjoyment OF life. liberty and pursuit OF happi-
ness; therefore, be it.
ResoIred. By the senate, that the president of
the United States is urged to notify the king
dom of Spain that If Spain shall fail to recog-
nize the independence of the Republic of
Cuba on or before the 9TH day of March,
1898, the government OF the United States will.
or that date, recognize the belligerency of
the Cuban patriots and will within 90 days
thereafter assert the independence Of the re-

Both of the above resolutions, as also
