SLIGHT CHANGE OF PROGRAM
First Nebraska Boys Mustered Out
Wednesday

After preparations has been made
for the transportation Of the First regi-
ment home, starting from San Fran
cisco Saturday morning, word was re-
ceived from Colonel Milford that they
would be mustered out Wednesday.
The telegram to this effect came Tues.
day afternoon after the governor had
left to attend the convention at Omaha.
The previous understanding was
that the mastering out was to take
place Friday. The change will neces-
state a short wait or the part of the
men and some additional hustling on
the part of the railroads. General
Barry and Colonel Stark left in time to
reach San Francisco Thursday, or one
day after the boys are mustered out,
according TO Colonel Mulford's tele-
gram. 1t is not believed that any of
the men will scatter, as suggested by
the colonel, when they understand
fully that enough money has been alb.
solutely paid in TO provide for their
free transportation home. Steps have
been taken to advise them fully Of this
and their friends here need not fear
that the plans already made will fail.
They may start home on Friday, and
in that Ease would reach home Mon.
day.

TOWN OF VICTOR IN ASHES.
Business Part Entirely Destroyed-A Loss
of Two Millions.

busihess fhrt Entireiy Destroyeu Loss
of Two Millions.
Fire has utterly destroyed the bust
ness porto of the city of Victor, Colo,
causing a loss estimated at $4,000, 900.
The flames consumed everything in
their way. II had its origin, 1t is
thought, in the Merchants cafe. A
strong wind from the south famed the
flames, and in a few minutes all the
surrounding houses were afire. The
town had been built in the early days
of the camp, and was Of pine timber
for the most part, and burned like
paper. Efforts were made to stop the
the progress Of the flames by blowing
up building in their path by me n Of
dynamite and the hills have resounded
with the explosions, but the effort was
in vain.
The fire claimed the bank Of Victor,
the postoffice, the row Of blocks be-
tween Third and Fourth streets to the
north, the Victor Banking company,
the Office of the Western Union Tele-
graph and Colorado Telephone com.
panies, the Hotel Victor and the three
great shaft houses Of the Gold Coin
Mining company and it's ore bins,
among the largest in the Cripple Creek
district, the Florence & Cripple Creek
depot, and the fine new depot Of the
INLAND Terminal road. All buildings
between the depots are a total loss,
with practically all their contents, for
the flames were so rapid in their pro-
gress that nothing could be saved.
The scenes of the great Cripple Creek
fire were duplicated. Hurrying before
the roaring flames went men, women
and children, carrying what they could
snatch from the flames, racing for
their lives. The crash of buildings
torn asunder by dynamite and the
crackle Of the flames as they consumed
the dry buildings fastened their fight,
and the pail of smoke added terror to
the spectacle. A special train was
placed at the command of the city by
the Florence & Cripple Creek railroad;
and three companies of firemen, with
apparatus were rushed to the scene.
They worked all one afternoon in q
vain endeavor to stay the march Of the
flames. The residence portion OF the
city has suffered comparatively little.
but the business portion is paralyzed
and suffering is bound to follow.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-There was a
sharp cleavage in opinion in Wall Street
today in respect TO the offer Of the Sc re-
tary Of the Treasury to redeem SO. 600 600
OF Government bonds. Briefly stated
those having money to lend deprecated the
Secretary's course. while those having Sc
curities 70 sell. or whose business-has
been hampered by the prevailing tension
in the money market naturally commended
st. II was, Of course, the main topic Of
discussion throughout the day. The Treas
ury's announcement unquestonably took
a large majority Of people by surprise.
For the past week or more persons, who
supposed themselves to be in very close
touch with the Administration and who
took no pains to veil the fact that they
were speaking with authority, have declar-
ed that the Secretary did not intend 70
intervene in the local monetary situation
and practically all the advices from Wash
ington have been TO the same effect.
So recently as yesterday IL was official
~ intimated that Mr.. Gage would do moth
ing in the premises. Il has been gen
orally known, however, for some time that
the chief financial officer Of the Govern
nent has been under The strongest pres
sure 70 take the action announced this
morning and the advocates OF arbond call
have plainly won the day against those
who urged MIN for reasons selfish or 9th
erwise 10 take no such step. At ali events
the situation in several respects gave im-
mediate reflection 10 the bond call. There
was q perceptibie relaxation ID the money
market and, naturally. a much greater
willingness on the part Of money lenders
70 pui out their funds on time. Sterling
exchange also advanced sharply, and in tae
natural order Of things the days move
ments in both markets should make fur
ther headWay.
II may properly be added that the criti-
cism was very generally made that since
the Secretary Of the Treasury finally de-
cided to relieve the monetary situation,
n was a pity that he could not have reached
his conclusion 10 dc so O. fortnight ago,
and il would really seem as IT, had the
action been taken then IL would have been
more readily defeuslble than il is now.
