tion. Why should We change the ad- ministI ation and our own condition?
 "I hear those who were the most rabid of Bryan men four years ago just as earnestly shoutuing for Mckin- ley now. Good times is the simplest as well as the best argument for working men. I hear ten times as much Me Kinley talk these days as l heard in 1896. I dare say Mckinley will carry Ohio by not less than I5,OOO.'
 NO FEAR FOR ILLINOIS.
 The attitude of the gold democrats in Illinois who voted for Palmer and Buckner in 1896 was described by c. M. Swanll of Toulon. He said:
 The gold democrats who voted for Palmer and Bucllner in our state four years ago are unanimous for Mckinley and he will carry Illinois by a great majority. They talk to us a great deal about imperialism secret alliance with England etc. but we are not fooled. The people of central Illinois do not lose sight of 16 to for a minute. Silver is the real issue now. as it was four years ago. If the business men of New England. New York. Indiana. West Virginia and Kentucky do their duty as well as the business men of Illinois. there will be no fear of the result"
 Another talk on the situation in Hi nois was given by C. J. Morris. of Galesburg. MT. Morris is a well known merchant in the western part of the state. Said he:
 "I have little fear of a democratic victory if the business men of New York, West Virginia. Indiana. and other so-called doubtful states do their duty. It seems to me that the business men all over the country are waking up. have noticed this especially with in the past week. They are saying Why should We change? Times are good and change from good tines will in all probability result in bad times We are going along all right, and let us keep in the middle of the prosperity road. That is what 1 hear every Jay.

Washington, Feb. 24.-Yesterday's

and during the afternoon three notable

sharp parliamentary squabble Mr.. Pen

up for consideration. On year and

to cause some surprise. It is known

FATAL CONFEDERATION.
Young Women's Thrilling Flight
From a Philadelphia Fire.
ONE JUMPED TO HER DEATH.

Leaped From the Fifth Floor to the
strcct-Other Young Women Slid
Down a Rope, One Having a Leg
Broken-Half a Million Loss.
Philadelphia, Feb. 24.-One woman
was killed, several other persons were
severely injured and property valued
at 100000 was destroyed by a fire
which broke out last night in the
heart of the wholesale millinery dis
trict. The burned area covered near
ly two acres, and that the flames did
not do more damage was due to the
magnificent work of the fire depart
ment, which, however, was greatly
handicapped by the character of the
goods which the burned structures
contained.
The woman killed was Clara Cohen,
aged 20 years, a seamstress in the en-
ploy of Harris and Bernard Cohen.
She met her death by jumping from
the fifth floor of the building in which
the fire started. Among the most
seriously hurt were Clara Udor, who
fell from the third floor Of the same
building, and George Sweeney, fire.
man, who was badly hurt about the
hip by flying debris. Several other
girls had hands burned, and colored
man received severe sprains by at
tempting to catch the young women
as they dropped from the end of
rope which was suspended from
window.
The fire started on the third floor Of
Nos. 721 and 1923 arch street, occupied
by Simon May, manufacturer of straw
goods. The flames spread to the fourth
floor, also occupied by May, and to the
fifth and sixth floors, which were used
by Harris and Bernard Cohen, manu-
facturers Of cloaks and suits. On the
fifth floor there were half dozen
young women at work. Their escape
was cut off, and the only exit left for
them was to slide down rope, which
did not come within 20 feet Of reach
ing the sidewalk. The first girl slid
to the end of the rope and then drop
ped into the arms of colored man.
She had her hands burned The next
one, Clara Udor, let go of the rope at
about the third floor, and dashed to
the sidewalk, receiving among other
injuries broken leg. The third young
Clara Cohen, leaped from the
fifth floor and lived only few min
utes. The others came safely down the
rope, but sustained badly burned
hands.
While the Arch street fire was in
progress fire broke out in the retail
store of Sultzbach & Co., at
Broad street and Paramount avenue,
at which II firemen and one policeman
we're injured. None, however, was
seriously hurt. The loss was estimated

Washington, Feb. 24.--The Clark
case before the senate committee on
elections reached an important turn
ing point yesterday. The defense an
nounced the conclusion of the pre-
sentation of its case, and the first wit
ness put on by the prosecution for the
purpose of rebuttal was heard. The
witness was Attorney General Nolan,
Of Montana, and it is understood that
he is the first Of eight or ten witnesses
who will be called in rebuttal. The at
torneys for the prosecution say they
expect to conclude their presentation
early next week. Attorney General
Nolan's statement bore especially upon
the interviews between himself and
Witness Lyons, and he asserted that
Mr.. Lyons told him that the votes of
various members of the legislature had
been unduly Influenced in Mr.. Clark's

New York, Feb. 24.-Architects, en-

The tests were made in the vicinity
of Nineteenth street and the East

enough from the ground so that a hot
fire was built underneath.

within the structure, the smoke COM
