INDIANA STATE NEW& TRAMP'S TRICK. 4 Mr or Crutch** Wm Tuekod ta B»A Bat the Cripple Ult With MOO Stolon Money. Decatur, Ind., Not. 16.—Sunday evening' a tramp supporting himself with two crutches made application for a night's lodging at the home of David Werling, a wealthy farmer. Werling took pity on the poor fellow and admitted him to his home, where he was given a warm supper, after which he was consigned to the room of George Stagmeyer, a hired hand, who was absent in another neighborhood ▼isiting his sweetheart. Monday morning repeated raps on the door of the room occupied by the strange guest failed to elicit any response, and Mr. Werling opened the door, when, to his great surprise, all that was found of the "cripple tramp*’ was a pair of wooden crutches neatly tucked under the cover of the bed. On investigation it was found the tramp had taken nearly $600 in cold cash, and $200 of the money was the hard-earned savings of Stagmeyer, who would, it is thought, have wedded soon.

ENGLAND 18 WILLING The Mother Country Will Indorse Reciprocity. th« Efforts Making for Settlement of Dlfhwuws Betwveo Canada and the United States Will Receive Imperial execution by Treaty. Washington, Not. 23.—There is pood reason to believe that the British goverumeut will view with favor the formation of a commission to clear up vexatious questions between the United States and Canada. This attitude Will be important in the consummation of the commission plan, for the best offices of the United States and Cauada toward a general settlement would come to naught unless the imperial government approved the efforts and stood ready to give them official execution in the form of a treaty. At first the sharp differences aroused by the recent Behring sea meeting led to the belief that Great Britain might stand in the way of a commission, which would discuss, among other question, such imperial subjects as the tariff. The British have been tenacious of holding the advantages secured by Canada's preferential British tariff, and it was thought the colonial office at London would not view with favor any movement by a commission which would disturb this preferential tariff. It appears,however, that the British authorities are sincerely anxious to close up the various irritating questions which have long existed between Canada aud the United States, through the medium of a commission or otherwise, and that no idea is entertaiued that when the commission dealt with the imperial subject of the tariff, it would involve any disturbances of the BritishCauadiun tariff relations. There are said to be rnauv articles, such as coal aud fish, which are uot exchanged betyveeu Great Britaiu and Canada. Ou such articles, therefore, auy reciprocal arrangement between the United States and Cauada would have uo influence on British trade with Canada. The home government is said to be fully conscious of the advantages which Canada may secure iu the extensive American market lyiug alongside her, aud there is understood to be every desire to aid Canada iu the enjoyment of reciprocal trade with this country. Already the British ambus- ; sador has been authorised from Lou- j don to begiu negotiations for reeiproc- j ity treaties betweeu the United Skates j aud the British West ludia colonies, i This is cited to show the favor which j the London authorities exhibit tow ard i securing the best reciprocal advan- j tages for British eolouiesl It is said the same view would prevail as to Can* ; adiau reciprocity. In auy event, the j work of a commission would be pre- j limiuary only, and it would remain j for the British government to give it ! effect by formal treaty. The subjects other than the tariff, j such as bonier immigration, fishing in i the great lakes, etc., are not of au im- j perial character, and conceru only the ! United States and Canada. In these, it < is said. Great Britain has no iuterest j whatever, except to see them settled on terms satisfactory to Canada. The lake | fisheries have been a prolific source of

trouble, it is claimed that the hsh of the lakes, particularly white fish, are being' exterminated by the lax laws of some of the states borderiug on the lakes. The destruction of the hsh is said to be aualagous to the destruction of the seals iu Behring sea. and one of the subjects which Canada would urge before the commission would be the protection of the fisheries in the lakes. Prof. D'Arcy Thompson, the British seal expert, having concluded his labors, left yesterdaji*for Torouto, iutendiug to reach New York in time to take the Lucauia for Liverpool later in the week, llis trip to Canada is personal and has no connection with pending Behriug Sea negotiations. Mr. Thompson expresses himself as well pleased with the recent meetiug of experts, and with the results arrived at. GREAT FIRE IN MELBOURNE. Mitur of the Larger ttiulnee* House* l>»- j stroked--Loss, Estimated at 83,000,000. Melbourne, Nov. A great tire broke out here at two o'clock yester- j day morning, and in a very short space j of time did enormous damage. It ! started at the warehouse of Craig Williamson, in Elizabeth street, in the very heart of the city. A strong wind was blowiug and the fiercely fanned flames rapidly engulfed building after building. Despite the desperate efforts of the firemeu, the entire blocks bounded by Elizabeth, Flinders and Swanstun streets, and Flinders lane, with the exception of two buildings on the Swanston-street front, were destroyed within three hours. The burned section included many of the largest business houses in Melbourne. The buildings were completely gutted, as most of them contained soft goods, the flames progressing with a rapidity which defied all checkiug, and in the furious wind ashes and burning debris were carried into the suburt# a distance of two miles. It is estimated that the loss will reach *3,000.000. BURGLARS CAPTURED. Ooe of Thto Wound**] In an Exchange of Show with Cltlacn*.
