Nelson, B. c., Aug. 4.-The most sem
sational story in connection with the
Fernie fire comes from CranbroolS,
where it is asserted that proof is forth
coming that three bush fires were
started at Fernie, which eventually
burned all the town, with the express
object of freeing five "Blackhand''
suspects confined in the Fernie JAIL
From Michel, where the fire scene
begins on the east, for twenty miles
to the west, it is yet a sea of fire with
miles of blazing mountain sides. Mich
ell is yet safe but the whole valley of
the river is on fire and II the wind
women and children have been sent to
the neighboring towns for safety. All
the mines have shut down and the men
are fighting the fires in relays by plow-
ing, back firing, and clearing the un-
derbrush of soaking the roofs of Sthe
houses with water of which, Fortunate
ly there is good supply
Only about a dozen houses have
been burned in Hosmer so far, but the
fire is all around it. Many from Fer
ME have taken refuge in the new coke
ovens being built by the Canadian Pa
cific, where they are safe even If the
town does burn. They are being cared
for and fed as we'll as the conditions
permit. At Fernie, however, the great
est scene of desolation exists. BY ac-
tual count, only twenty-five houses are
left standing.

bolt. During the early hours Of this
morning the senator was overcome by
q sudden heart weakness and he be-
gan sinking r92idly. The intense heat
is thought to have been the immediate
cause.
There was little knowledge in this
city of the senator's weakness and his
death caused a profound sensation.
Sunday he spent the day at the coun-
try place of Mrs. Fannie Stout O'Don-
nell and he seemed to be greatly i'm
proved. Monday, however, he had a
relapse.
Died Of Heart Enlargement.
Senator Allison passed away SO sud-
denly that until he was dead no one
in Dubuque outside of his immediate
household knew Of his illness. Every
effort, it seems, having been made to
keep the matter secret. He had been
indisposed for two days, presumably
owing to the severe heat, and this
morning the patient developed what is
pronounced to have been enlargement
of the heart, complicated with a severe
kidney ail1nent. aggravated by his
prostratic trouble of ong standing.
He became unconscious shortly after
the heart trouble developed, and never
-egained consciousness up to the time
of his death. which occurred ait 1888.

died.

Perfects Bland Allison Bill.

He has been member of the SEN
ate finance committee since 1877. and
was largely instrumental in perfectiug
the act of congress known as the
Bland Allison bill which was COM
promise between the advocates of a
single gold standard and free coinage
of silver. The BILL after a long dis
cussion, passed both houses of cen-
gress, but was vetoed by President
Hayes. 1t was passed over the veto.
and under it's provisions 370,000,000
silver dollars were coined before 1t
was changed by the act Of 1890. When
the government made provision for an

Harrison as chairman on behalf of the
United States. When the legislation of
1900, on the currency. was under con-
sideration by congress. Senator Alli-
son took a prominent part in the de-
bates and formulation OF the law
known as the Currency Act Of March
IA. which provided for a permanent re-
serve sufficient to make certain the
convertability of all forms of money
into gold, at the will of the holder.
Factor in Tariff Legislation.
Senator Allison has had u large
share in shaping the tariff legislation
since 1877, and especially the revision
of the tariff which followed the report
of the tariff commission of 1882. He
has long been at the head of the COM
mittee on appropriations, and all ex-
penditures of money made by con-
yress passed under his scrutiny. No
senator now member of that body
has served so long continuously as the
senior senator from Iowa, and no
member of either branch of congress
has done so much to shape natlonal
legislation for the last quarter OF
century as William B. Allison.
Was Wanted for Cabinet.
Senator Allison was strongly urged
by President Garfield to accept the po-
sition of secretary of the treasury, and
was again rendered the position by
President Harrison, and was offered
the position as secretary Of STATE by
President Mckinley. He chose, how
ever, to remain in the senate. He was
frequently mentioned as an available
candidate for president, and In 1855
was as near nomination as any can
didate who was unsuccessful.
