the ground early this morning, caus-
ing a loss jf 975,00,1 to the building
and a considerable loss in personal
property of cadets, with insurance of
only
Onu hundred students were in the
building when the fire broke out, and,
while no lives were lost, many of
them hud narrow escapes aud received
injuries more or less seriou*.
The tire started in the east wing of
the building, which was a substantial
three-story structure of brick, and be-
fore the boys could be alarmed, had
destroyed all of the central corridors,
cutting off the stairways from the
cadets.
Cadet Clopton. son of the United
States district attorney at St. Louis,
was awakened by the smoke aud
sounded the tire call ou his bugle,
arousing it is sleeping comrades. With
the help of Cadet W. 11. Austin of
Carrolltou lie succeeded in helping
several of his frightened and almost
helpless comrads out of the burning
building.
< apiaiu ('lasscock and Lieutenant
(•oode, 1. S. A., rau from room to
room at the peril of their lives, get-
ting out the students who had not
been awakened by the bugle call.
tudet Captain Uolla Mclntire was
taken out by Lieutenant Uoode, who
was compelled to jump with him from
a third story window.
When the boys sleeping iu the sec-
ond and third stories of tlie building
realized that the structure was on
tire, all escape by way of the 6tairs
was cut ofl and they were compelled
to jump from the windows. There
was no hesitation on the part of the
older boys, who were almost com-
pelled to force their younger com-
rades to make the leap.
H. T. Guernsey of Independence,
Kas., was badly burned on the face,
chest aud back aud badly bruised
Captain liollu Mclntyre was found
in a hall on the third Moor uucon-
sciops. Lieutenant Goode stumbled
over him and succeeded in dragging
him out of tlie building. He Ih all

BUSINESS CONFIDENCE.
Major McKluiey Talk*"* on Tlint Mailer
to tisltori.
Canton, Ohio, Sopt. 2ft. — Major Mc-
Kinley addressed two delegations yes-
terday afternoon. The first was from
Wood county, Ohio, and the second
from Muncic, Ind. The lutter came
on a special train of five coaches, and
included four bands, the First Voters'
1 club, the Prosperity McKinlcy club
aud veteran soldiers. Major McKiii-
ley spoke, in part, as follows to the
Muncie delegation:
j •'! believe in America for Americans
I —native born and naturalized. I be-
! lieve in the American pay roll (lau^h-
, ter and appluusc), and J do uot ;bc-
I lieve iu diminishing that pay roll by
giving work to anybody else utidcr
j another flag while we have an idle
' man under our flag. Four yours ago
the laborer was agitating the qucs-
: tiou of shorter hours. Wo then iiad
so much to do; 1 have heard no discus-
sion of that Kind for four years.
(Laughter and applause. I l!ut 1 have
: never heard of the laboring man dis-
cussing the desirability of having
short dollars
"The complaint—the chief com4
plaint—of our opponent is, first, that
we haye not enough money; and sec-
ond, that our money is too good.
i (Laughter,) To the tirst complaint I
1 answer that the per capita of circulat-
! ing medium iu this country has been
greater since the so-called crime of
i 1673 than it ever was before (applause),
' and that it has been greater in the
past five years than it ever was iu all
our prior history. (Cries of "That's
right.") We have not only the best
money in the world, but we have
more of it per capita than most of the
j uatious of the world, (Applause.)
"That money is hard to get i not
i because it i.s scarce, but because those
j who have it keep it, fearing to loan
j it because (if the unsettled business
J condition of <hc country. Money to-
j day is idle because it cannot b^ profit-
j ably and safely invested by those who
have it. It U neither a lack of vol-
ume of our ii oucy nor the quality of
j the money that is our trouble, but a
I lack of confidence in the steadin ss
and stability of business. The thr> at
of free silver is driving our money in-
to hiding to-day; the way to bring it
out is to restore confidence. And how
are you to restore confidence? There
Is only one way. (A voice: "Vote f >r
McKinley.") There is only one vv y.
(A voice: "Vote for McKinley.*' Ap-
plause.) T^e way to restore confi-
dence is to defeat through the ballot
the party t' t destroyed con fid nee.
(Cries of "Good: that's right ") The
way to restore prosperity is to defeat
through the ballot those who have
destroyed prosperity. (Tremendous
applause.) We cannot restore the
business of the country so long as we
do so much of our business abroad.
(Cries of "That's right.") Let us
bring it back home for our own peo-
ple and our own labor. (Continuous
cheering.) We do not believe the way
to restore confidence is through the
mints of the I'uited Slates. (Cries of
"No, nt , you are right.") We can
onlv restore confidence ami prosperity,
not through a debased currency, but
through a policy that will restore the
wasted reveuues to the public treas-
ury and rekindle the fires in American
workshops.'"

In a atgued Article
Cincinnati, O., 8ept 26 — A local
paper nubliahea a signed article from
Senator John Sherman, dated at Mana-
fleld, O., In which he replies to Mr.
Bryan and othert who refer to "the
crime of *73." Senator Sherman saya
that many pages of the Congressional
Record show indisputable proofs that
the clause in the act of 1973 stopping
the coinage of the silver dollar waa
not surreptitiously ami clandestinely
passed through congress. The aena-
tor reviews the history of that legis-
lation, showing that there was an un-
usually long ugitation. not only in
both branches of congress, but also in
the committees of both houses, aud
also in the treasury department be-
fore the bill was prepared. The sen-
ator says:
"l have never been able to see what
motive could have existed for secrecy
iu this mattei. tin April 2.* , 1*70,
when tne bill was sent to Ihe commit-
tee ou fiuanco by the secretary of the
treasury, the silver dollar was worth
$1.0.11'.' in the markets of tho world,
(iermaiiy had not yet sold her silver,
or adopted a gold standard. Thete
was no indication whatever of the
fall of silver, aud no one could fortee
that it was destined rapidly to decline
in price. No one askoti to have the
dollar coined, and no one was opposed
to its discontinuance."
The senator coucludes his article
thus:
"There was not only notiiing secret
or surreptitious in the passage of the
act of 1873, but every step accompany-
ing its origin, consideration aud pass-
age roceived as much publicity ae
could lie given to a bill. Ilut the sil-
ver dollar was out ot circulation long
before the law* of 1873 was enacted.
It was a thing of the past, loat to
sight, conceived hy Hamilton iu 1792,
suspended by Jefferson in l&Cti, prac-
tically demonetized by llenton and
the men of 1834 under Andrew Jack-
son. ignored by two generations ei-
ceot as a convenience for the exporta-
tion of silver bullion, and called back
to the mind of the present generation
only because silver has fallen in price
and is deemed more valuable as coin
than us bullion. Never was u mora
unjust or unwarrantable charge made
tiian that the act of 1873 was paeaed
secretly, by stealth and with the ob-
ject of concealing any part of it from
the public."
