A few days ago Joe Warner, of

two car loads of cattle and four
coyotes. The cattle market was
dull and Mr. Warner was counter

he lost on the cattle he made up

No Livei Lost.
Seattle, July 14. The steamer
Henry bauy arrived here . Irom
Mount Vernon, Skagit county, and
brings the first repo'ta of a disaa
trous fire there early yesterday
morning. The telegraph office
theie lieing burned prevented an
earlier account being given. The
account Bays the fire originated in
the north wing of the Washington
hotel. The hotel was entirely con
sumed together with fifteen other
business buildings and two resi
deuces, causing a loss of nearly
$40,000, with no insurance tb
speak of, except on the hotel. The
part covered by the burned dis
trict is the oldest portion of the
town, The fire occured at a moat
unfortunate time, aa the fire en
trine was broken a few days ago
while out practicing, and has not
yet been repaired. Tne fire waa
caused by the explosion of a coal
oil lamp in one the upper rooms
of the hotel. There were over 100
guests in the building at the time.
All of them miraculously escaped
with their lives. For a while a
ierfect panic reizned in and
around the building. People
julupea from tne windows and
I ran down stairs into the streets in
their night clothes. s0on willing
hands were hurrying out what
furniture could be gotten hold of
hut the fire spread so rapidly and
it became so intensely hot around
the building that the people soon
turned their attention to saving
the contents of the adjoining buil-
linga, and the largest amount of
gooda were carried to a place of
sifety. While eome w ere carrying
out gooda from the buildinga,
others formed bucket brigades
from the men to the fire, and a
united effort waa made to keep the
tire confined to the block which
was burning. The steamer Henrv
Bailey and tier crew were of valu
able i ssietauce in hghtinz the
fire. In fact, without them every
thing between Main afreet and the
river would have been in ashes
to-day. The steamer arrived
couple of hours before the fire and
her boilera were vet hot. feteam
was soon raised and hose from the
fire department waa attached to
their lire-plug, but as there was
no reverse coupling either on the
boat or in the lire department, the
nozzle could not be put on. but the
ho.-e was carried to the top of the
buildings and a stream of water
poured over them.

SILVER COINAGE.
HOW THE OHIO DEMOCRATS
LOOK AT IT.
Quite m Division of Sentiment on
the Subject-Will Try to Settle
the Subject In Convention.
Cleveland. O.. July 14. Al
though a democratic state conven
tion was announced to meet to-day
and continue in session two days,
the programme provides that this
day shall be devoted to committje
meetings aid outdoor demonstra
tions, and that the convention is
not to convene in formal session
until to-morrow morning The
discussion of politicians is still all
directed to the governorship.
While Campbell's nomination on
the first ballot is still as reasona
bly certain aa any future event, the
Neal and Kline factions have by
no means given up the contest.
Discussion over the platform still
continues. Ex-Congressman War
ner and other prominent free
coinage men are on the ground,
insisting that party success can
only be insured by the convention
declaring for the free and unlim
ited coinage of eilvei, but they
are being vigorous'v opposed bv
Congressman Harter and equally
prominent democrats. "We cer
tainly want to keep clear of the
free coinage silver plank." said
Harter to-day: "in two months
we now coin $9,000,000 in silver.
and that is more than the entire
amount coined between 1792 and
1S02. While free coinage would
be the ruin of the industries of
the country, the republicans have
not made silver an issue. Why
should we do so? Would it not
be better to devote our attention
to the tariff exclusively? We can
fight successfully on that issue, but
it means national defeat for the
party to advocate the tree coinage
of silver." As a result of this
division of sentiment, several in
formal conferences of democratic
congressmen and other party lead
ers have been held. Tho money
question was discussed with a
view of reaching an understand
ing on the silver issue. A strenu
ous attempt will be made to settle
all differences on the financial
question in the committee on reso
lutions, ane prejfealthe subject
from being debated iutfrssconven
