Minister lllount Beaches Washington.
Washington, Aug. 24.—The Hon.
James H. Itlount of Georgia, minister
and special commissioner to Hawaii,
arrived in Washington at noon yester
day and took up his quarters at the
Snoreham. After a brief rest to re
cover from the fatigue of the journey,
Mr. Blount went to the state depart
ment, and at 3 p. m., by previous ap
pointment. entered upon a protracted
personal explanation with Secretary
Gresham. In view of the fact that the
President is expected back in Wash
ington at the end of next week, it is
not thought probable that Mr. Blount
will go to Gray Gables unless specially
called there by Mr. Cleveland.
PANIC AT THE FAIR.
WILD SCENE AT THE WOMAN'S
BUILDINQ.
railing Elevator at tbe World’s Fair
Causes a Panlo In Which Thousands
• of Women Straggle Wildly to Get Out
TMsbj Trampled Upon and Hurt.
- Chicago, Aug. £5,—Six thousand
persons swarmed the corridors of tho
woman’s building' at the World’s Fair.
The balconies and small rooms on the
upper floor were crowded. Women
and children sat on the steps leading1
to the building on all sides. It was 2
o'clock and save the shutting of the
tramping thousands on the wooden
floors there was quiet in the building.
Outside a constant stream poured into
the grounds from the plaisance. Sud
denly there was an awful crash. With
it rose the din of shouting men and
screaming women.
Above the uproar came the cry of
“Fire.” Instantly there was a mob at
every exit. Strong men beat down
weak women in the frantic fight to
get out ot’ the building. Several men I
who were on the balcony hung from
the ledge and dropped to the lower j
floor. The stairways were blocked
and panic reigned. Several men
called to the visitors to be quiet. Co
lumbian guards tried to fight back the
crowds that rushed down the stair
ways, but they were powerless. To
add to tho confusion several women
fainted. They were picked up and
carried to the center of the room.
This only added to the tumult, and
seemed to make the women desperate
to escape.
In a few minutes the building was
emptied. When the visitors got out
side and saw no flames or confusion
on the grounds they were reassured,
and some ventured back into the
building. Ambulances were called,
and the women who had fainted were
taken to the hospital.
The cause of the commotion was the
falling of a heavily laden elevator in
the southwest corner of the building
six feet to the floor. The elevators in
the woman's building are run by elec
tricity. Yesterday the cable broke
and a tongue of electric flame nearly
two feet long shot from tbe wires.
The weights fell to the floor with a
crash. There were twenty-four
persons on the elevator. Robert J.
Smith, one of the party from Kew
buryport, Mass, had h:s right leg
severely bruised. He was carried to
the homeopathic hospital, just west of
the woman’s building, where - his
wounds were dressed. One of the
ladies went into hvsterien. and she
with another lady who had her thumb
broken, were also taken to the homeo
pathic hospital. All the injured were
attended there by Drs. Barker ■ and
Brown, the physicians in charge. No
one was severely hurt. Mr. Smith was
removed to his hotel in a carriage late
in*the afternoon. The other passen
gers in the elevator escaped without s
scratch.
Bills Introduced In the Senate,
Washington, Aug. £6.—Up to to-day
there had been introduced in the sen
ate 687 bills, relating to all matters of
general legislation save the one im
portant subject of the tariff, which,
being a revenue measure, must origin
ate in the house. Finance bills have
bqpn introduced by statesmen repre
senting all parts of the country and
all shades of belief. Mr. Hill of New
York introduced the first, and was
content to rest at that. Mr. Pef
fer of Kansas has offered four, two of
which were his own and two “By re
quest.” Mr. Hunton of Virginia comes
next with three and Senators' Stewart
of Nevada, Manderson of Nebraska
and Vest of Missouri are to be cred
ited with two each, both those of the
Nebraska senator being by request
and one of Mr. Vest's of the same sort.
Messrs. McMillin of Michigan, Pow
ers of Montana, Voorhees of Indiana,
McPherson of New Jersey and Boar of
Massachusetts have each offered one
for the consideration of the senate.
Mr. Hunton.a new senator from Vir
ginia, has put in an income-tax bill,
and Mr. Carey of Wyoming an omni
bus bill for the admission to statehood
of the four territories. The Torrey
bankruptcy bill of the lastBession was
reintroduced by Mr. Mitchell of Ore
gon, and in another form by Mr. Hoar
also. The advocates of 1 cent post
age have brought that to the front.
Huh ton and Bate have both submitted

HE HELD THE FLOOR.

On« of the Most Amusing Incidents Ever

Senator Peffer's Argument.
Washington, Aug., 35.—One of the
most amusing incidents ever witnessed
in the senate occured yesterday. Even
the worry of the financial disasters
could not restrain the august members
and all of them joined in the merriment
caused.
Mr. Stewart announced in the early
part of the week that he would address
the senate on the question yesterday,
and on the day previous Mr. Peffer an
nounced that he would talk on Thurs
day. So soon as the morning business
of the senate was completed yesterday
Mr..Stewart arose and, addressing the
chair, was accorded the floor by the
vice president. Mr. Peffer, who had
been in deep thought, did not Bee this
little incident, and it was not until Mr.
Stewart had arranged a nice pile of
documents upon which he could con
veniently arrange his typewritten man
uscript that he appreciated what was
going on. He struggled to his feet, but
before he could speak the white beard
ed advocate of silver had said in a loud
tone: “Mr. President—We have now
reached the fork in the road—He
got no further. Mr. Peffer had inter
rupted and appealed to the chair to
sustain him in his right to the floor,
which he imagined he was entitled to
account of the announcement that he
nau previously made tnat He would
speak.
Mr. Stewart thought he had been
cheated outol yesterday; that he should
speak today. Both the senators were
very anxious to get their silver load off
their minds, and both arranged neatly
their mauuscript and were about to
open what might be called a free silver
duet, when Mr. Faulkner called atten
tion to the situation. The question of
which senator had a right to the floor
was argued by some of the members, in
the meantime both remaining on their
feet. The vice president finally held
that Mr. Stewart, having been recog
nized, had the floor, liut Mr. Peffer
was still set upon making his address,
and finally Mr. Stewart, in a magnani
mous but sort of I-know-he-won’t-do-it
tone, said: “Well, if the senator wishes
to take the floor from me he can do so,”
and he turned away with a rather hurt
and injured expression.
“I do not wish to take the floor from
the senator,” said Mr. Peffer. “but I
would like very much to deliver this
speech todpy.”
“The Senator from Nevada yields the
floor to the senator from Kansas and
the senator from Kansas is recog
nized,” said Vice President Stevenson,
and then the senate roared. Mr. Peffer
went on to descant ujxm the luxurious
extravagance of New York millionaires
and upon Wall street bankers and bro
kers who were, he said, the advisers of
the president and the result of whose
advice was the bill to repeal the Sher
man act. Half a dozen speculators, he
said, ryled the country with an iron
hand. It was time to dissolve partner
ship with Wall street. Since the dawn
of history the money changers had
been against the people; but it had been
reserved for the Christian civilization
of the closing years of the nineteenth
century to throw the garb of respecta
bility about the business in the United
States.
A Great Fire In Chicago.
Chicago, Aug. 25.—A fire which in
the extent of territory it covered, al
most rivals Chicago's historic confla
gration, began in that part of the city
known as South Chicago about 5 O'clock
yesterday afternoon.
. From a three-story brick building at
the corner of Ninet3*-first street and Su
perior avenue, the flames, which rap
idly grew in volume under a gale of
wind from the west, ate their way
through block after block of small
frame residences until they reached the
lake.
Within two hours 'the fire lyul con
sumed at least 250 buildings and five
blocks of the great industrial suburb
of Chicago. The 50,000 residents of the
town were precipitated into a panic,
second only in this city to that which
accompanied the conflagration of 1871.
As the pine structures in which lived
the laborers working in the large steel
mills of the Illinois Steel company and
the small merchants ef the town, were
leveled by the roaring flames, those
whose homes had not yet gone down in
the fire fled with valuables and house
hold chattels to other portions of the
city.
No lives, as far as known, were lost.
South Chicago is almost entirely a man
ufacturing suburb. The principal es
tablishment is the Illinois Steel com
pany, which employs at present about
6,000 men. The river front and lake
shore is occupied for long distances by
immense lumber and «coal yards and
shipping docks. Its population is about
50,000.
Tariff legislation.
Washington, Aug. 25.—The policy of
the administration in ^dealing with
tariff reform was to some extent indi
cated by Mr. Wilson, the new chair
man of the ways and means committee.
It is well understood that Mr. Wilson
is in thorough accord with Mr. Cleve
and and Mr. Carlisle on the methods of
accomplishing tariff revision. For
this reason his brief and informal
statement to the ways and means com
mittee when it assembled for the first
time was regarded as significant in out
lining the desires of the administration.
Mr. Wilson asked his committee col
leagues to think over the methods to
be pursued in dealing with the tariff so
that there could compare views at their
next meeting. Then he added that, so
far as he was concerned, he thought no
tariff legislation could be undertaken at
the extra session or before the reassem
bling of congress in December. In his
judgment the extra session would end
by the middle or lntter part of next
month. This would permit the com
mittee to get together during October
end November, bo that a complete
measure of tariff reform would be
ready to submit to congress as soon as
the regular session .opened.
The whole trend of Mr. Wilson's re
marks was in the direction of starting
on tariff legislation os soon as possible
during the regular session, but not to
touch it during the pendency of the
financial question at the oxtra session.
Doles Is Not Happy.
Dks Moines, la., Aug. 25—In an in
terview Governor Boies said: “Though
I am again nominated, I am not elated
over it. 1 had hoped to return to my
home and resume business, and it is
with feelings of regret that I contem
plate the prolonged absence that anoth
er successful campaign would raako im
perative. Highly gratified, however,
am I at the endorsement I received
from the convention. Yet it is with
reluctance that I accept (ho nomination
for a third term.”
OBN. WEAVER ON FINANCES.
The Noted Populist Pays Farmers Will
Obtain Power and Improve Things.
Mount Gmetxa, Pa., Aug. 85.—1The
largest crowds since the opening of the
national encampment of the Farmers*
alliance assembled at Mount Gretna
park yesterday. Among the promin
ent arrivals were Gen. James B.
Weaver of Iowa, late populist candi
date for president, and Ool. D. P. Dun
can of Columbia* S. C., secretary of
the National Farmers’ alliance. Three
thousund people, most farmers, and
their wives assembled in the main aud
itorium to hear William Benningar of
Walnutport, Pa., advocate the free
coinage of silver. He was followed
by J. M. Thompson, late lecturer of
the Pennsylvania Farmers’ alliance.
Gen. Weaver said:
’The situation of to-day was not
enured by the election of the demo
cratic administration. That adminis
tration is still enforcing republican
buu luicrpreuog too laws me
same as did Harrison. Such a curse
could not be brought upon the country
by the mere change of administration,
nor is it the result of the Sherman
law. The laws hare been violated.
What'we want is obedience to tne laws
and the administrrtion of existing
laws in such a manner that the rich
and poor will be treated alike. We
wait a condition that will make all
men obey the laws of contracts, the
banker as well as the laborer. The
republican secretary of the treasury
and the democratic secretary of the
treasury did not comply with the law.
They paid out the gold and the secre
tary of the treasury aided foreign con
spirators when he had it in his hands
to prevent this panic. This is tbe real
cause of these hard times.
“Such a stupendous catastrophe
could not have been produced by the
Shermah law. A fester ng sore, a
gangrene that has been growing for
years has broken out At the close of
the late war the people were compara
tively free from debt There was
more prosperity then among the farm
ers of the north in spite of the loss of
those near and dear to them than
there has been ever since. Tho reason
of this prosperity and good feeling
was because there was an immense
volume of paner currency in circula
tion. The financial system of the
government which contracted the cur
rency is responsible for the loss of
thousands of homes, innumera
ble suicides and the corruption
of the morals of the people.
There is not . a parallel in
existence to the enormity of the crime
which has been perpetrated upon the
people of this nation by the contrac
tion of the currency. As a result of
that crime perpetrated on onr people
from 186d to 1871 British capital has
come in and got control of our facto
ries. raflroads and fit ances. The
scarcity of money is what is the mat
ter.
“The growth of population and the
reduction of circulation of currency is
the cause of the panic. There is no
money in the country and no adminis
tration that will give it, but when the
farmers come into power—and they
are going into power, the very gates
of hell cannot prevent it—
they will give you more money.
The farmers will make a dollar that
will stay at home. They don’t want
money that will go abroad. That is
what is tbe matter with gold. You
must reclaim the government and take
it from the grasp of the monopolist
under whose control it has become a
plutocrat."
NATIONAL FARMERS* ALLIANCE.
Largo Attendance at the Encampment
*t Mount Gretna, Fa.
Mount Gjiktna, Pa., Aug. gt.—This
morning trains to the national en
campment of the Farmer's alliance
brought crowds of people, while a
stream of visitors flowed into the
grounds by every footpath and driv
ing road. Gov. Bobert E. Pattison,
who came here yesterday morning to
inspect the national guard rifle prac
tice, mingled with the farmers and
visited the various exhibits. Hon.
Ben Terrell of Texas, national lecturer
of the farmers’ alliance, arrived yes
terday morning. In his first address
he said the alliance is not a partisan
organization and has no connection
with the existing partiea lie advo
cated the limited ownership of land
and government control of the tele
graph and transportation lines. On
the money question he said there
should not be a bit of commodity value
in it. Money should be just as good
made of paper as gold.
Tile value of a dollar should be reg
ulated entirely by the number and the
demand. An ideal money system was
the demonetization of gold and silver.
Ibis country did not yield enough
gold and silver and there was not
sufficient circulation. The govern
ment should issue paper money for
gold in bars, melt the bars and sell
the gold at the market value. The
government would then sell you a dol
lars worth of gold whenever you pre
sented your paper dollar.
The farmers’alliance, in standing up
for the demonetization of gold ana
silver was striking at the root of the
question. Every man would have to
throw off allegiance to party and go
into politics to break up party rule and
cast his ballot for his country as a
patriot and not as a partisan. The
farmers did not bel eve in the beauti
ful tale that ia going around through
the press about a Tack of confidence.
The trouble lay in the present finan
cial system, which was unsafe.

Senator Allen la Mew Tork.
Nbw York, Aug. 26.—"New York has
ceased to be an American city. It Is
not in sympathy with the rest of the
country," said Senator W. V. Allen,the
populistot Nebraska, In speaking of the
city.
"Is that the populist view of it, Sen
ator?"
“It is the western view. In our part
of the country we think the east too
domineering. The consequence is the
south and west are solidifying to resist
the policy that would make of New
York a sort of money deposit of the re
public. It will not bo long before
Washington will cease to be the na
tional capital. The people of the west
Bee that New Yorkers hove altogether
too much influence in Washington.
Why should the westerners ul com
pelled to travel night and day to a far
away capital that New Yorkers can
reach in a few hours? We westerners
would remove the seat of government
to St. Louis in fifteen minutes if wo had
the votes and we will have them at no
very remote time."
The senator is a self-made, splendidly
.educated man, intellectual looking,
quiet and digniged. He spoke with
calmness and deliberation.
“Do you know,” he went on, "that I
learned of a heavy shipment of gold
urucreu uy v.mcago loaay irom turopo
direct. The incident Bhows how
New York is having: its financial pres
tige taken away, before many years
Chicago, which is an American city
and not like New York, will be the
money power, as well as the metropo
lis of the republic. New York is about
as big as it will ever be, although con
solidation with other cities muy en
large it. The main object of western
ers is to wrest from the east its undue
influence in national affairs. We mean
to have the next president from the
west. We think the old parties are
about on their last legs and, depend
upon it, congress will not repeal the
Sherman law until a substitute equally
favorable to silver men is found and
adopted. It is my firm belief that our
national prosperity is bound up in the
destruction of New York's dangerous
power. The people there care more
for the beauties of the Alps than for the
Rockies. They form an aristocracy
with a dangerous influence. Thus it is,
the east and the west have been stead
ily drifting apart for years.”
“What will be the outcome of this?”
“Compromise. The east will have to
come down from its high horse. Then
the honest, patriotic people on both
sides will put their heads together and
do what is best. We populists believe
the real people of the east want simple
justice and do not wish to injure the
west. After all, we aro Americans,
every one. Unfortunately, capitalistic
influence, improperly exerted, stifleB
freedom in New York, all over the
eastern seaboard. Altogether. I think
the east generally will be taught many
things by the west before this extra
session ends.” .
CoL Cody In lftgh Feather.
Chicago, Aug. 36—A group of mili
tary officers and regular army soldiers
along with the West Point cadets took
in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West yesterday
afternoon. Colonel Cody had taken
his “Congress of Rough Riders” on a
parade at 11 o'clock through the White
.city. This proved beneficial both to
the fair and the colonel. It drew an
increased attendance of early visitors
and several thousand of them followed
Uncle Sam's boys over in the afternoon
to help them enjoy the performance.
The parade was an interesting feature
with its Indians, Cossacks, cowboys
and cavalrymen. The cowboy band
rode at the head on a tally-ho drawn
by six horses. Buffalo Bill, in a buck
skin suite, was the central figure of the
column. At the matinee General Miles,
General Wesley Merritt and General
niamey occupied me dox oi nonor. au
around them were grouped colonels
and captains, majors and lieutenants,
distinguished from the rest of the au
dience by their bright uniforms and
Bhoulder straps. Tho cadets sat to
gether in a section of reserved seats,
with Capron’s battery and Seventh reg
iment veterans on their right The ca
dets shouted their academy cry and ap
plauded every act on the program.
Colonel Cody was given an ovation and
ah Immense bouquet of flowers.
Talk on Sliver.
Nicw York, Aug. 36.—Last night a
large audience assembled at Cooper in
stitute to listen to talks on silver by
prominent bimetalists and free coinage
advocates. The assemblage was not
what could be called a representative
gathering, but few, if any, of the solid
business or steady workmen of the city
being in attendance. The audience,
however, was an enthusiastic one, and
every speaker of the evening was ac
corded a warm reception and his re
marks freely interrupted by applause.
John Boyd, General Weaver, Con
gressmen Bartine and Bryan and oth
ers gave their views on the monetary
situation and the remedy which be ap
plied to relieve the present financial
distress in the business world was in
their opinions a salve of silver. Reso
lutions denouncing the attempt by
congress to repeal the Sherman law
without giving the country a substi
tute which would provide for the freer
use of silver as a money metal were
passed and the meeting adjourned. .
Precious Cargo Aboard.
Buzzard's Bay, Mass., Aug. 36—The
president's boat carried a precious and
at the same time a jolly party down
Buzzard's bay yesterday afternoon.
Besides the president there were Gov
ernor Russell, Joe Jefferson, Secretary
Lamont, Dr. Bryant and Mr. A. H.
Wood. When the party left Gray Ga
bles the wind blew very strong and a
heavy sea was running. They fished
nearly all of the afternoos, and the

president and governor brought ashore
many bottom fish. All had a splendid

000,000, this balanoe being composed
almost entirely of subsidiary coin. The
reserve Is being used in paying obllga* -
