The usual crowd of lookers-on began to gather on the street before the sun broke through the clouds and shed its rays of light upon the scene of death and desolation. The number was considerably less than yester- day morning, but there was the same interest taken by all. The same eager question was asked by each one as he arrived: “Have any more bodies been found?” 2 Pedestrians on the way to their daily work paused for afew moments to watch the work- men as they shoveled away in the mass of ruins. During the hours of the early morning many of the wine-soaked dancers wending their way homeward from the French ball stopped to view the ruins. It wasa queer intermingling, the seekers of mirth and pleasure who forsome hours had,been chasing that phantom butter- fly and the seekers for the dead, standing near cach other under the swinging electric lights that are strung above the ruins. The one party laughing and joking with each other and the other party pausing to gain a momeut's rest by leaning upon their shovels, gazing in open-eyed wonder at the hilarious men and women that stood looking down upon them. There seems to be a great diversity in opin- ion as to the chances of finding additional bodies. It was thought that wheu the vicinity of the elevator shaft was reached many bodies would be found, and yet they have found nore. It is almost an assured fact that there are bodies there if one can depend upon or judge by the stench which arises from the spot.

Death of Sir James Caird, the English Agri- culturist. Lowpox, Feb. 10.—Sir James Caird, K.C.B.. F.R.S., the noted agriculturist, died today. Sir James Caird was born at Stranaer in 1816 and was eduested at Edinburgh. In 1859, dur- ing the protection controversy in England, he published sli Farming much attention and which weut rapidly through eight editions. Ia the autumn of the same vear Mr. Caird, at the request of the Inte Sir Robert Pee! sited the south of Ireland and madean admirable reporton the condition of the country and the means to improve it. During 3550 and 1851 Mr. Caird, as commissioner of the London Zines, conducted an inquiry into the state of English agriculture, and his letters on that subject were published in a volume which was subsequently translated into the French, Germay and Swedish languages and was repnblished in the United States. In 1858 he published an_ac- count of a visit to the prairies of the Mis- sissippi, a translation of which appeared on the continent of Europe. Mr. Caird was twice elceted to parliament and in 1860 was appointed a member of the fishery board. In 1863 he be- came chairman of the royal commission on the sea fishery of the united kingdom, Prof. Huxley and Mr. Shaw Lefevre being his colleagues. In 1864 Mr. Caird, after many years’ perseverance, carried a resolution of the house of commo: in favor of the collection of agricultural stat tics, and they are now published annually. In 1878 Mr. Caird was appointed by the govern- ment of India to serve on the commission to in- quire into the subject of famines, and he was created a Knight Commander of the Bath (civil division) in 1982. aa TAKE REFUGE IN DETROIT.

At the same time there is excellent suthority | for the statement that the relations between Mr. Wanamaker and President Harrison are jstrained, and that the —_—President would like an opportunity to ap- point new Postmaster .General. Thero is quite » large circle of men in Con- gress who are aware of the situation and who expect. Mr. Wanamaker’s retirement. It is not expected, however, that he will be appointed to any other place. Some of Mr. Harrison's admirers declare that he bas suffered much from a display of a want of political judgment on the part of cer- tain members of his cabinet, or a lack of in- terest in his welfare, and that the President is greatly dissatisfied. Quite a general shaking up m the cabinet is expected by those who assume to be familiar with the situation. It is asserted that Mr. We amuker has created a very deep dissatisfaction among the political leaders by his course in j cutting down the salaries of small postmasters and im abolishing many litte country post offices when there was a demand from the people of the communitics where they were located, and that he has fol- lowed this policy against the advice of the President. ‘the "inauguration of such a | policy im the last year of Mr. Harrison’ administration it is urged to calculate to injute the Wanamaker’s attention” has to the matter in that light born, and persisted in other ‘things which could not ie axstinption of a friendly resident.

The trouble be- tween them is alleged to grow out of the work of the Navy Department in preparation for war with Chile. It is the custom when any extraordinary emergency expenditures seem necessary in the Navy Depattment to cull together a board of officers to pass upon the matters 60 as to give such authority as to the necessity for the expenditures as to satisfy Congress that there really was an emer- gency. It is claimed that this cus- tom has never before been departed from. Secretary ‘Tracy jeged, however, did not assemblé such a board, but’ went ahead with the expenditures withontany form of authority, and that the administration is liable to be called to account by Congress for this action. CHAIRMAN ALDRICH’S VIEWS. He Says It Looks as Though Saunders and ‘Chase Were the Men. Chairman Aldrich of the republican cen- tral committee of the District enlled upon the District Commissioners today and left tickets for the republican convention to- morrow. Dyring a conversation with a Star reporter he said that indications pointed to a successful and quiet convention. There will be a grand turning out of all republicans, he said, and no disturbance would mar the mecting. In several of the dis- tricts there were two sets of tickets, and there would be some contests. In the Chase district another ticket made its appearance this morn- ing.

Mr. Morgan said tha: the committee on for- eign relations hud been instructed, through a resolution offered by him, to obtain the same information, and thai the committee was better quulified lor tue purpose than the Secretary of the Interior, as the committee has power to send for persons and papers and to examine Witnesses under oath.

Mr. Faulkner made an effort to have the West Virginia bill made the special order after the printing bill, but Mr. Paddock ob- jected strenuously, as the pure food bill occu- pied that position. ‘The West Virginia bill went over without action.
