stead of that he has switched off on
to the farmer issue and has informed
the farmers Of West Virginia how they
have suffered under the Mckinley ad-
ministration He tells them that the
times are hard. and that they havnt
got any money, or if they have it is not
due to the Republican policy. He also
promises to give them more money,
but neglects to say that this now money
will not be worth half as much as their
present money. To be sure. he says 1t
has happened that the farmers have
never had better crops of a better de-
mand for them at home or abroad and
that money is pouring into this coun-
try from Europe but this only happen
ed-the Republicans had nothing to do
with it, And so forth Ii really is an
interesting question whether Mr.. Bry-
an or any other sane m can actually
believe that the intelligent farmers of
America take any stock in such trans
parent nonsense as this. when the
simple fact is that the farmers are in
much better condition than hey were
four years ago, and, indeed, were never
so well off as now This IS the univer-
sal testimony fthe farmers them
selves in all sections. Here are a few
figures:
The average value Of farm animals
has teadily increased from 1897 to 1900.
The average for horses advanced from
S31 in 1896 10 $44 in 1900: the average
value of mules from 81 ia 1896 to $53
in 1900 and Of cows from $23 10 81. In
| 1896 the average value Of corn was 2lIa
cents a bushel; in 1899 the average
value was 30.3 cents. in 1909 the total
wealth in the hands of the farmers of
America was $1,000. GOO 600 mute than
at the close Of Clevcl1ud's admiuistra-
| ton. Their exports of brcldstuns last
| year amounted IN value TO S2G3. .OO1 900
or 500 000.000 more than in any year
| of Cleveland's term. The audacity of
| standing up before the farmers and
telling them that they are not pros
porous in the face of such figures as
! these is amazing"

TOWN SWEPT BY FIRE
LITTLE LEFT OF VIRGINIA, A PLACE
ON THE MEsABA IRON RANGE.
One Hundred and Twenty-Five Build
inEs Reduced to Ashes in an
HOur-NO Lives Lost.

DULUTH, Mimi, June 1.-The entire
of the town of Virginia, on the Mesaba
iron range. was wiped out of existence to-
day about noon, and it took only sixty min
utes to do it. One hundred and twenty-five
buildings were reduced to ashes. The entire
country around is parched and ready to
burn. The flames broke out at the Moon &
Kerr mill. on the shore of Silver lake,
southwest of the town. The plant consists
of a number of large buildings besides the
mill and it was among these that the fire
started. The main business section of the
city Is about five blocks from the mill and
over this intervening territory the flames
spread fiercely, carried directly to the bust
ness buildings by the strong southwest
wind that was blowing Within one hour ii
had carried everything between the mill
and the railroad station, eight blocks
away. The path of the flames was clean
cut as that of a tornado, an indication of
the great force of the wind.
The flames jumped from building to build
ing with frightful rapidity o. d. Kenney's
bank, situated in a two-story frame build
ing, in the main portion of the town, was
in ruins ten minutes after the flames first
struck it. The territory over which the fire
travelled covered about twelve blocks,
about nine of which were thickly built up
Tonight there is not a business house,
hotel or store standing in Virginia The
residence portion of the town was only
partially burned. The schoolhouse is I'M
touched. as are also most of the churches
The loss is estimated at least $5O0OO0 Not
more than $125.000 insurance is believed to
be carried in the whole village. owing to
the high rates. The water plant q the city
was between the mill and the business sec
ton. directly in the path of the flames
So far as known this evening no lives
were lost. The people are in urgent need of
relief. There is little to eat left i'm the town.

Mr.. Livingston Tried to Pad the
Appropriations Made by Congress.

WASHINGTON, June Representative
Livingston, of Georgia, the ranking mi
nority member of the House committee on
appropriations. to-day made the following
statement as to appropriations from the
standpoint of the minority:
I'm submitting a statement of the appro-
pr1ations made at this session of the
Fifty-ffth Congress / beg to call the at
tention OF the House and country to the
fact that Notwithstanding the enorrnoius
appropriations for 1900 on account of the
Spanish Cuban war, the army and navy ap-
preparations for this session are $50, 600 900
in excess of those for the last session. The
every department of the govern
ment, beginning with the Agricultural
and ending with permanent organizations,
we have increased at this session the
amounts authorized at the last session.
And when to the aggregate add the
amounts that should have been appropri-
ated at this session, but which have been
deferred, for no good reason, or at least for
reasons that need explanation on the part
of those I'm control-amounts which must
be appropriated at the second session of
this Congress, such as that necessary to
complete the Nicaragua canal (the bill hav-
ing passed the House), carrying authorize
ton of an expenditure of s141, 600. 900 and also
that usually appropriated for rivers and
harbors. 900; and for public buildings
claims, estimated at $40, ZOO, 000-if, say, We
add S170.0O0.000 to the sum stated In the
table, 500. 729. 476, we would have grand
total of SS79, 729, 476 for this session alone
And this total shown in the exhibit is not
quite complete fair, considering that
such large amounts that must be let are
withheld for the next session. / submit
that, to be fair, should let each fiscal
year take care of all necessary appropria-
lions and not unload this year on the fiscal
year 1902 things that should be provided for
and included in the fis~~l year 1901
"And / call attentio4. Ilso to the constant
and gradual increase in the appropriations
for pensions and likewise to the Legislative.
executive and judicial appropriations.
These items could not have been affected
to any great extent by the Spanish-Cuban
war; 1t shows, indeed, an increase, as be-
fore stated. all along the line despite the
fact that the committee on public build
ings and grounds have held back all mat
tiers before them, and the committee on
rivers and harbors all matters before them.
with two or three exceptions, and all ac-
counts and claims have been practically
barred from consideration at this session."

David Gibson last night at the Bates
House. 1.-The recent slump in prices of
building materials has already begun to
have an effect on our trade, but i'm my
opinion there is going to be a much greater
fall in values. About the only thing in the
line of building material that l know of
which hasn't gone down in price is struc-
tural shapes in iron work They will take
their turn with the rest, however, and

CHICAGO. June IA tallyho party made
up of young people from Oak Park, Berwyn

HOTELS ARE FULL.
An Unusual Number Of People in the
City.

LAS rule hotels show great falling of
in their patronage just after a big conven-
ton. such as the Democratic state conven-
tion," said Manager Cullen. of the Deni-
son, last night. but business is still keep
ing up with us. Look at that register
and you will see that we are entertaining
more than our usual quota of guests" The
book In which arrivals register their names
before being assigned to rooms in the big
hosiery bore out Mr.. Cullen's sanguine
statement. The same state OF affairs was
found at all of the other hotels in the city
At English's nearly two pages of the large
register were required TO chronicle the
names of new arrives. Tie lobby of the
Bates was comfortably filled. and the two
registers at the clerks desk displayed a
fine record of the days and evenings bust
ness. The hotels on Illinois street, within
the line of travel 70 the Union Station
made. perhaps, the best showing of any In
the city. All the hotel men were feeling
unusually good last night over the excel
lent trade they were having Inquiry ellie
tied the fact that there is an unusual influx
of travelling men, Most of the registrations
at the hotels last night were of CONNER
cial statesmen. From this IL was inferred
by men who observe affairs closely that
there is no immediate prospect of a depar-
ture OF prosperity from the land
