Is tho amount of the tariff added to tho cost of tho ar ticle? Fremont Trib. "Wiiejc war was on, And men had gone To the battle's front to shoot One Grover C, Bravo as he could be, Sent forward a substitute." At a meeting of the independent club at Ashland the other day, says an ex change, a motion was proposed that "all members who will not vote for C. IT. Van Wyck for governor be expelled from tho club." A hot fight followed, tho resolution was carried, wherenpon a numberlmmediately withdrew and more will follow. The American Economist calls atten tion to the fact that during tho last two years of Grover Cleveland's administra tion, tho balance of trade was against the United States, for thefirsL timo since lS7i. It is further deserving of note that the balance has been well on the right side since Harrison has occupied the Whito House, and it amounted to a modest little $202,944,342 in 1&92. One of the latest, and as yet the most original defense of free trade as the re sult of alleged thought over the Home stead troubles, is that of a man who ' says that "any protection which enables the common workmon to make from $G to 8 a day is too mtich protection. It cost me $2300 to obtain my college edu cation, and there is not one-half my graduating cl.iss that could earn half of $8 a day.' Boiled down "as it is difficult for any college-bred man to earn over $4 a day, any system that enables an uneducated laborer to earn double that, as is done at Homestead, is vic ious." A lame argument, truly, against protection, but a very good one to illus . trate the tendency of these times to the practical, as against tho theoretical, the useful against the merely ornamental and trifling, "the prod mtive against the non-productive industries. Tho protect ive policy helps to develop natural re sources; directs study to man's natural wants and their projior supply from the nearest source. SECOND 8TRIKE A FIZZLE. Aatl-Sweeaer Switchmen Lone Heart Sweeney Leave the City. Buj-falo, X. Y., Aug. 211. The anti Sweeney rebellion, and the threatened continuance of the switchmen's strike, has fizzled out. It fell of its own weight The men lost heart at the hopeless division in the association, and would lie glad if their names were on the pay-rolls of the railroad corpor ations they endeavored to bring U their terms. The Erie 1ms taken back a score or more of men and the Lehigh has engaged half a hundred. lint no man is given employment until he satisfac torily accounts for his -whereabouts since the inauguration of the late strike. The Central may take back a few of their old men, but they will be required to file applications and await a vacancy the same as a stranger. Men on the other roads are going back to work in squads of five and ten, and by Tuesday every striker who can get work will be turning switches. Grand Master Sweeney did not leave Buffalo until night He left the Gene see house at 11 a. m., and went to the Arlington to remain the rest of the day. He started for Chicago about 9 p. m. Plaaa for Consolidation Ready. New York, Aug.29. It is announced ia Wall street that the plans for the loHg talked of consolidation of the Colorado Coal and Iron company and the Colorado Fuel company are ready to be submitted to the stockholders at an early date for formal approval, whieh will doubtless be accorded. 'The Colorado Fuel company, it ap pears, virtually absorbs the other con cerns, for, although the latter is the larger, it is the most profitable. The capital of the new corporation which hasaotyet been named will consist of 1500,000 preferred stock and 511, 900,000 coauaoD. EIBE IN NEW YORK. METROPOLITAN OPERA BURNED. HOUSE WW Bo Si ataay rira- Tkelr Urai Blaze la a Seeeaa la Augusta. la the City-1 Geertrla. New York, Aug. 29. Four fire-signal alarms were sent out about 9:30 o'clock this morning for an outbreak of fire at the Metropolitan opera house, at Thirty-ninth street and Seventh avenue. It is reported by telephone that the whole. of the Seventh avenue side of the Metropolitan opera house is al ready destroyed by fire. Five alarms have been seat in. The fire started in the rear part of the opera house and that part of it will probably be a total loss. It is hoped that the front part of the structure will be saved. A call for an ambu lance has been sent out from the scene of the fire. Later. It is now learned that the fire started near the stage in the Sev enth avenue side and quickly spread through the whole building. The structure was completely gutted and will be a total loss. One man, a scene painter, was badly hurt and removed to the hospital. The Metropolitan opera-house fire is spreading to the Gedney house. There is another large fire in a cloak-manu facturing establishment at Prinee and Green streets. Four regular and several special alarms have been sent out to cover the opera-house. The f-c is raging and the entire building is in danger. While the Metropolitan opera-house was burning four alarms were sent out for a fire at Spring and Wooster streets, in the dry goods district This fire, it is now telephoned, is beyond control. The loss can only be guessed at this writing. It will not exceed $500,000 and probably a great deal less than that It depends on the extent of dam age done in the wings to the right and left of the stage, which are as yet ob structed. Whatever the loss it is cov ered by sufficient insurance to protect the company. Directly under the stage the scenery was stored. Of that, as of the stage itself, there is not a shred left that could be burned. 10:I.i Fifteen 'firemen are reported killed by the falling of a wall at the fire at 122 Wooster street Over one hundred persons were in the building when the fire broke out and many were injured in escaping. Many are missing, but the number of dead cannot be learned until the firms occupying the burned buildings call the rolls of their employes. There is little doubt, however, that a number of young women were cut off from the stairways by the rapid advance of the flames and perished. So fast did the fire spread and so in adequate were the means of escape that it is a wonder that half of the persons caught in the building did not perish. The building where the fire started was an old one, the walls of brick were thin and came down with a crash as soon as the fire gained good headway inside. One of the firemen was caught under the first wall that. fell and was severely injured, and several others went down under a mass of brick and mortar after the fire had been got un der control. The latter have -little chance for life, if they are not already dead. The cause of the fire is unknown. It started in the basement of the rear of the building 124 Wooster street, went up the air and elevator shafts like a flash and when first seen, from the street was bursting out of the windows on the top floor. Before the firemen of Engine company 27, whose house is half a block away, could get there, the ramshackle old building was doomed and frightened women were clambor ing down the fire escapes to the street or climbing to the roofs of the adjoin ing buildings. At 12:20 the fire was under control, but at that time it was impossible to get beyond the street lines, owing to the intense heat All that remained on the site oi tne nre was aoout twenty-five feet of wall, fronting on Woostcrstreet the offices back of which had been occupied by Butler & Co. The saloon and the building at the cor ner of Prince and Wooster streets were still standing and the buildings along Prince street had been gutted. Heavy Loss at Augasta. Ca. Auousta, Ga., Aug. 29. A destruc tive fire broke out here at 2:30 o'clock this morning. The Alexander Drug and Seed company, Flemii g & Bowles' furniture warehouse, E. D. Smythe's crockery store, Harry Hall's photo graph gallery, .1. R. Lamar's law of fice, the store of Thomas & Barton, wholesale music and sowing machines, the residence of Ieroy Miller, and the Chronicle office were totally de stroyed. Augusta Dorr's clothing house was slightly damaged. The loss is estimated at S400.000. The entire morning edition of the CKton icle was worked off while the building was in flames. Every thing was wiped out inthe shape of type and machinery. The files of the paper from 1800 to date, and the books and subscription list were saved. The insurance is about S300.000, very generally distributed among com panies represented here. Weaver la tbe South. Little Rocc. Ark., Aug. 29. Gen. James G. Weaver and Gen. J. G. Field, candidates on the People's party ticket for President and Vice-President, ad dressed a vast concourse of people here last night Both speakers dwelt at great length in explaining the salient features of the populists' platform and abusing the leaders of both the great political parties. Gen. Weaver said his ticket would surely carry the solid South, together with Oregon, Colorado, Nevada, California, Washington, Idaho, Montana and Nebraska. For Free Canals. Toronto, Can., Aug. '19. A' Montreal correspondent says he was informed by a prominent Conservative, who is in close relations with members of the Dominion cabinet that the govern ment would probably adopt a policy of free canals before the next session of Parliament Color is given to this statement by a significant article in the Gazette (government paper), which advocates the freeing of the canals. Faaaaadle Switchmen Strike. Richmond, Ind., Aug. 29. A number of switchmen at the Panhandle yards have struck, because, they say, newly employed men are given preferable work.

A dastardly at tempt was made to wreck tke New York and Chicago express on te Fort Wayne road, near Enon Valiey, last night, and" two men are new. in the Allegheny lock-up on suspicion of having been concerned ia the crime. It is said that a man named Adams had discovered the obstruc1 tions and was in the. act of removing them when he was shot by the thieves, who were in hiding. He was shot in the forehead, but is still living. The train had a large amount of money en board. It left this city on time, and about 11 o'clock, when near Enon Valley, the engineer discovered an ob struction on the track and succeeded in checking the train in time to avert a serious accident It was found that some ties had been placed on the track and firmly secured. A search in the vicinity was made and twosuspicious looking men were found. They were bound and held until an east-bound train arrived and are now in the Allegheny lock-up awaiting an investigation. The place where the attempt was made was an isolated one and the fiends could have pursued their work of robbery without molesta tion. The passengers were greatly ex cited and threats of lynching were made. DECLARED INSOLVENT. - Two Baffalo Savlacs aad Loaa Assocla- tleas Closed by the Baak Kxaaalaer. Buffalo, Aug- 29. A sensation, second only to that.eaused by the fail ure of the National Savings bank, was caused this morning by the announce ment that State Bank Examiner Whit ton had found two savings and loan as sociations practically insolvent and that many others are in au unsafe con dition. The associations reported as insolvent are the Third Ward Perman ent Savings and Loan association and the Erie County Permanent Savings and Loan association. Mr. Whitton is awaiting the action of the banking department in regard to these two associations and is con tinuing his examination of other con cerns doing business in a similar way. Mr. Whitton says there are too many loan associations in 'the city in all about 125 whereas if there were about fifteen or twenty they could afford to hire expert accountants instead of be ing conducted by people ignorant of bookkeeping. The Third Ward asso ciation owes its shareholders &'3,000, and the Erie county S107,000. J. S. EWINC CHOSEN. Steveasou's Fartaer to Manage the Western Campaifu. Bi-oominotok, 111., Aug. 29. Gen. Adlai E. Stevenson was the principal figure in two big events to-day. He opened the Democratic campaign in a speech and presided at a conference that named James S. Ewing, of Bloom ington, as a manager of the Demo cratic western headquarters at Chicago The latter event took place this forenoon at Mr. Stevenson's residence, Rufus Ramsay and other Democratic lights being present General Steven son himself, suggested Mr. Ewing who is his law partner aud is a brother of W. G. Ewing of Chicago as just the man for the place. The others readily fell in with the suggestion, and almost before the matter had crystalized it was decided that Ewing of Blooming ton ronld be the manager of the Western campaign. SEARCHING FOR THE DEAD- Nearly Certain That One Iluailreil aad FortyOae MUters Have Perished. Londo.v, Aug. 29. The work of searching the Parkslip pit to effect rescues was continued last night, al though with the utmost difficulty, owing to noxious gases and the neces sity of cutting through obstructing debris. Since yesterday noon, when knockings were heard, .searchers have perceived no sign of life anywhere. There is little doubt that 141 miners perished in the Iarkslip pit Nearly all were married and had families. The Lord Mayor of London will open a relief fund for the distressed fami lies. A rescuing party brought thirty-nine of the miners to the surface at 10:20 o'clock this morning. The fresh air soon revived them and they were taken to their homes. MR. SIBLEY NOT DROWNED. The Reported Death of Millionaire Sib ley aad Ills Faatlly Dealed. Rochester, N. Y., Aug. 29. A tele gram received here from Hiram W. Sibley, the millionaire of this city, who was reported to have been drowned with his wife, children and several companions, Thursday night in Geor gian bay, stamps the rumor as an un truth. Mr. Sibley states that the wrecking of his yacht is a canard and that all of his party are safe. Toronto, Ont, Aug. -27. The report -from Saginaw of the disaster to the yacht Wapiti in the Georgian bay is a wicked cauard. The yacht is now safely at anchor in Collingwood harbor. No accident has taken place and no lives were lost Typhoid Fever la a State lustltnte. -SrRACUaE, N. Y., Aug. 29. An epi demic of typhoid-malaria fever has broken out at the State Institute for Feeble Minded Children. It is learned that a dozen children are convalescing from the disease, while twenty-two others, seven, attendants and fifteen pupils, are ill. The condition of none of them is as yet dangerous. A year ago there was an epidemic of typhoid in the institution. Thirty pupils were stricken at that time and four died. At the same time there were fifteen cases in the Shelter. Both in stitutions used city water from a spe cial main. The cause at that time was attributed to this. Since that the in stitute has used water from three wells. These have been closed. Mew York Mast Now Fay the Piper. Albaxv, N. Y., Aug. 29. Adjt Gen. Porter returned to this city last night from Buffalo. He telegraphed Gov.

The State will have to borrow money to pay the expenses incurred by the service of the militia, which must be refunded by Erie coun ty. vBy the passage of the anti-Pinkcr-ton law last winter at the urgent re quest of labor organizations the cost of this strike falls on the people, the rail road companies even getting pay for transporting the troops.

AotLoritles-Spread of the Disease. New Orleans, La., Aug. 29. Mr. Joseph Holt, one of the most distinguished sanitary ' scientists In the United States, in an in terview regarding cholera -said: "I feel confident that if the cholera finds lodgment on the North American continent it will come either by way of the Atlantic seaboard or the Law rence river. "I had "thought that the quarantine system pi the St Lawrence was keep ing up its well-established prestige as a thoroughly scientific sanitary insti tution, but from very .recent authority it has fallen into a condition of alarm ing inefficiency in equipment As for New York aud oilier ports along the Atlantic seaboard, excepting Charles ton, S. C, their methods and equip ments are wofully inadequate to their necessities. "We may escape, but it will only be through an awakening to the perilous situation and by the extraordinary efforts in the immediate rcement of rational and scientific rlhods of defense as embraced in - own quar? antine system." TIIK 1'KST IN LONDON. $ . . The People in the CSrrat Metropolis Are Anxlou :ind Iiiillg-naut. London. Aug. 29. It was announced this morning that another passenger who arrived at Graveseud on .the .steamer Gemma, which arrived Thurs day from Hamburg, had died from cholera at the - Gravesend hospital. There is deep indignation at the care lessness of the medical officers who in spected aud passed the Gemma, par ticularly in view of the fact that they had been ordered to be niot searching in their examination of vessels from in fected ports.

She was subjected to a rigid inspection by the officials at quarantine, after which she proceeded as usual to her pity on the west side of the citv. llatiilinrs Poorly l"nilj;eil. London, Aug. 29. A Berlin corres pondent says: 4ln a way Berlin is poorly provided for to contend with cholera. A letter received here from a private physician in Hamburg com plains of the complete inefficiency of the sanitary organization. The writer says: 'With a population of half a million, there are only eleven ambu lances and the sick and dead lie five or six hours before removal. The most urgent measures of disinfection are but tardil3 carried out." Hunting Their Garments. PARis,.Aug. 29.
