Toese constituting a quorum, the tellers resumed business at the old stand. But business was siack, and agaln tho tellers retired and another roll call was insisted on. 1'his time 160 responded; but when business was resumod the uumber of customers had dwindled.

OMAHA, EMPIRE STATE REPUBLICANS They Will Preseut a Solid Front to the Enemy in the Coming Election, REID'S TRIBUTE TO REPUBLICANISM Adoption of a Platform in Which Can e Found No Equivocation—Ohio Repube lieans in Harmony—Harrison's Strength Aumaxy, N, Y., April 28.—Tt was sald this morning that the sentiment among the dele- gatos to the republican convontion was 80 gencrally for Harrison that it would not bs necessary to lustruct the national delegates for bim. Chairman Brookiield of the state commit- teo called the convention to order at noon, Suthe Temporary Chairman, William A, Sutherland was chosen tempor- ary chairman. On taking the chair he de- livered an address upon the absolute neces- sit7 of carrying New York to elect the next presidgent, Victory 80 far had boen evealy divided, and it was now the democrats’ turn. Tho republicans have a hard fight before thom, with only 1 per cent i their favor. Thespeakor warned them that the plural- ity of 14,000 which Harrison received in 1588 would not be sufticiont to give him the electoral voto in 1802, owing to the celerity with which false returas were manufactured and true returns stolen. He declared arrangements to rush through fraudulent re- turns and 1ssue cortificates under them had been perfected by Tawmany hall, and closed by uraine thorough organization in every precinct throughout the state as the only means of acquiring yictory. At tho conciusion of Sutherland's speech tho usual committees were appointed. T'he convention recoovened at 3:30. The committee on eredentials roported that thore was but one contest and reported 1 favor of the sitting delegate. The report was adopted. The report of the committee on permanent orgaunization was made through ex-Senator Pitts, chairman. [t recommended as perma- nent' chairman Hon. Whitelaw Reid. Mr. Sutherland introduced Mr. Reid, who re- ceived au ovation as he stepped to the frout of the platform. Mr. Reid's Remarks, Mr. Reid thanked the convention for the bonor of being made chairmau. Since his connection with the republican party, which extended over thirty-six years, he had never seen a time when tho duty of republican succoss seemed clearer or 1ts possibility moro evident than now. Inspired by the memories evoked yesterday at the Grant celebration, New York republicans would take vows again that the republic, saved by the hero whose birth had just been commeni- orated, in conjunction with Lincoln and Sherman and Shoridan and Seward and Chase and Stanton, should suffer no harm now at the hands of the antagonist who nad so often confronted them. Tho record of the republican party from the day of its birth was suflicient_reasou for trust in 1t now. Was the record of the demo- cratic party, either at Albany or Washing- ton, as satisfactory a guarantee of tho futurel Were the democratic business mon of New York anxious that the present congress should have its way unopposed about eitter freo silver or tho tariff? Was there one member who did not secretly give thanks that the democrats had been beaten four years ago! New York democrats did well to make the most of their last triumph, and to do it at suchirailroad speod as tue stato capital had just been witnessing. The demo- crats might plan the capture of the next legis- lature as they bad organized the theft of this one. Thoy might bind hand and foot the majority of the voters of the state, but it would still be the majority and it could not bo permanently bound. The biggest mujority New York had ever given against a repub- lican candidate for the presidency was 52,000 for Sumuel J. Tildon. The smaliest was the last, in 1854, of 1,047 when Grover Cleveland was elected. Four years ago the republicans of New York bzat that same man by 14,373, @ Chosen Some of Democracy's Evils, ““They say he wants to tvy it again,” con- tinued Mr. Reid. “If so the fixed snd im- mutable laws of that old rule of arithmetical progression which we learnod fn our school days show what they may look for next year. This is what the state of New York aid to Grover Cleveland, whom she respects, what would she do to David B, Hill? “As further materials for speculation upon the result this autumn we might profitably constder the political desperation of our op- position, which has led to a deliborate effort for a partisan inspection of the elections; to the most debasing surrender to the Liquor in- terost the legislation of New York has shown; the new apportionment, which “gerrymandering’” does not describe, and to a degradation of that old pride of the state, its court of abpeals, 50 shameless and so wanton as to provoite the united condemna- tion of the preponderantly democratic bar association of New York. “Our opponents have made our campaign. We ask now bui one thing, 8 right, the de- nial of which means revolation; wo demand 4 fair, non-partisan couut. T'his secured, we can carry New York if wa choose; and with New York we can carry the natiou. 1 don’t say we cannot do it without New York; but Ido say that no prudent politician would maks that sort of a calculation or aream for an instaot of taking that sort of a risk. Well, shall we carry New York{ Republicans Must Get Together. *Onply onn thing is needed to do it; simple, natural and, as 1 believe at this tile, very easy. We must ‘get together.) We have oc- casionally been a faulty team. One yeur the city woula putl and the country wouldn't; the next year the couutry would pull and the city would not. Whenever we both pulled the load was moved and if ever, inthe thirty-six years of our history, we had an incentivo to pull together wo certuinly bave ouo now. Let us have o straightforward, deceut, manly, red hot fight altogether for our faith; and we shall win now, as we al- ways have won when we fought that way. Whatever happens Liere or at Minneapolis one thing I know, we shall go into this cam- paign with our flag fiying; on no still bunt for votes, to ba had by biding our opinions, but with our principles and tte record of our party to the front, and with candidates worthy of both, We aro for honest money and we mean 1o fight on that line to the end, that iu the president’s illuminating phrase, an honest dollar, issued by the government, shail be as good as any of the issues, Weo are for protection to American industry and 10 the American workmen, and the moment when the whole world is recognizing the wis dom and the success of our policy 1s not the moment when we are going to abandon 1t orto fail in its support. We are for its latest emboaiment, the McKinley tariff, which has disappointed its friends almost as much as its foes, so splendidly has it vindi- cated the wisdom of the congress that had the courage to pass it, We are for that wise and fruitful system of reciprocity wituout injury to protection with which the name of great secretary, the matchless Blaine, 1s forover identified, “Oue thing more; we stand by and defend sod applaud the national administration which bas done these things ; we are proud of it. It bas been bonest, il has been able; it Las been clean and of good repute.” When Mr. Reid referced to the president the house rang with cheers. It remained, bowever, for the utterance of Mr. Biaine's name to bring down the house with cheers le and loud. Just as Mr, Reid closed his add ress, away back 1n the housesome man shouted Iu an instant u bundred voices were cryin; “Depew,” “Depew.” The calling gre cheers and greater abplause. At length Mr. Rewa lifted his band to command silenee. The shouts rattled away and died out so that Mr. Reid could ve beard to say: ‘‘Gent men, there is one voice always in order in a republican convention, aud in fact in almost any other kind of @ republican gathering, tuat of Chauncey M.

Blaine. On the financial question the platform says: *We cordially endorse the vigorous decla- ration of President Harrison made in the city of Albany in favor of an honest doliar. We commend the republican members for having secured tha defeat of a free sil- ver bill, the effect of which would have been to derange values, impair contract ob- ligations, reduce the pay of labor and debase the currency. Tho people must continue to look to the republican party to maintain the great nationsl matters of finance, pledged as it 15 to keep any dollar, bearing the stamp of the United States ou @& par with gold and to ripel the assuults of reckless advocates of frye silver and unlimited coinage of silver.” (Gontinuing, the platform denounces the treAtment of the colorad peopie in the south as baroarous, aod conginued for the sole par- pose of porpetuating democratic control of that section; arraigné the democratic party of New York for various revolutionary and criminal acts which culminated in the reversal of the political majority of the legislature as determined by the veraict at tho polls; denounces the legisla- ture thus feloniously consuituted for its vio- Iation of the princinles ol genuine home rule in enacting notoriously partisan character amendments; for granting valuaple fran- chises o polilical favorites without recom- pense to the people; for its removal of wholosome restrictions upon the liguor traflic, for its wastetul expendituro of the people’s money, which has increased the tax rate 44 per cent over that of last year.

The object 1s plain, He does not want any impartial statement of the situa- tiou to reach the outside world. This ef- fectually disposes of his claim that he has triumphed over Gieneral Crespo and that the rebellion is at an end. The fact of ths mat- ter is Caracas hears little of what is taking place at the seat of war. Such dispatches as do reach the capital are very disheartening to the government. Couriers keep arriving at Caracas with word that public sentiment against Palacio is wcreasing. Especially in the interior of the country is oppusition to his acts most strongly demonstrated. On the other hand the revolutionists are reported to be gathering arms and ammuni- tion which continue to be landed along that part of the coast west of Puerto Cabello, which is held by the troops under command of General Mora. Sums of moaey aro being constautly supplied to Crespo, who is thus enabled to give his men good food and clothing. Preparing for the Final Battle. If advicos received here today may be re- lied upon, Crospo has at last begun to move for his headquarters at the southern eud of Lake Valencia. It is believed that simulta- neously Mora has started toward Valencia. The plan appears to be to attack Valencia, Victoria and Puerto Cabello before moving upon Caracas. Crespo was never stronger than at preseat. The recent victories of his forces at various points have encouraged hundreds of peasants and mountaincers who had hitherto been wavering between the two coutestants to join his ranks. The situation at Cavacas is ‘uvchanged except that the feeling of alarm 1s becoming greator. The supreme court judges remain in prison. There seems no likelihooa of their bewng re leased 80 long as Palaclo remains in power. Tha streats are filled with soldiers. The po- lico aro_suspicious of everybody. Arrests are startlingly frequent. T prison is over- crowded. To make room for mew poitical victims some of those contined are every once in a while permitted to leave on coudition of quitting the country. Vessels from the dif- ferent ports have a larce representation of exiles among their passengers. Palacio is very much afraid of assassina- tion. He keeps bimself within the yellow nouse, while a strong guard patrols tho front of tne buildings by day as well as by night. England is Assisting Palaclo, A quantity of arms from Trimdad, ln- tended for General Crespo, was seized at Canidad, Bolivia, on the nightof April 15, The goverament also captured a son of the revolutionist leader and the young man, it declares, will bo executed on the day his father comes within o league of Caracas ‘P!Nfl,fl:l’lm-lllfl .anuounced that he wil bject young Crespo to torture unless Mrs. Crespo divulges her busband’s plans. 1 had an interview -ith Mrs. Crespo soon after this threat was made known to her. “They dare not do it,” she said. At the battle of Tompit de Colon, about which I bave already apprised you, the government losses were 350 meo killed ana 500 wounded. The federalists lost only 110 men, but were repulsed, Yellow fever is raging at Tucvo andls spreading to the west and north, playing havoe among,the troops at Maracaibo. Palacio hus purchased a large quantity of muskets and ammunition in Trinidad and they are being landed at tho fort along the Orinoco river and av this town. This con- firms the current reports that Palacio has secured the active support of Great Britain in consideration of concedinggto that country the disputed territory betWeen Venezueln and British Guinea. The federalist general, Mora, received a quantity of arms from Curacoa on April and marched to join Crespo. On the day following the government troops ocoupied the towns of Maran and Palito. Further details of the killing ot General Quevedo at Los Teques, state that the vil- lugers to the number of 200 were led by Gen- eral Perroz. The government garriscn ut Los Teques numbering, 100 men joined the revolutionists, Quevedo was accompaniea by Gouls-Rodriquez and Mayorga. They were in quest of recruits, General Rodri- quez fell covered with wounds. Mayorga escaped ia disguise, The revolution- ists then went to join Crespo. On their way tuey haa @ acozen or more skirmishes with small bands of government soldiers. In each engagement it 1s claimed the revolutiomsts killea 100 of Palacio’s fol- lowers. The government troops have crossed the Andes and takon Guanare, Governor Illasand his staff returning from Crespo's camp were captured, ‘Tuo federalists are concentrated at Sebas- tian prior to moving upon Caracas.

REVOLY IN THE EXTREME, Rorrible Cr Charged Against a Promi- nent Englishmur Loxnoy, April 28.—A case which has ex- cited much comment came up for trial before Mr. Justice Hawkins today. Mr. Henry Foote, a prominent resident of Clare, a town in county Suffolk, bronght an action for aamages against Mr. Campion, & momber of the firm of Huntley & Palmers of London, charging him with the seduction of s 14- year-old daughter. A torrible state of affairs is imvolved in the case. Campion is not only charged with having ruined the girl, but ho aiso seduced Mrs. Ioote, the girl’s mother. ‘Che solicitor of Mr. I'oote stated in court today that his client did not claim damages for the relations Campion had sustained with his wife, The evidence showod that Campion had been plotting against the honor of the girl ever siuce stie was 11 years old. Bad as this was, tho case is rendered a thousaud times worse by tue fact that the motuer, whose re- lations with the defendant were then meri- tricious, aided ber paramour in bis desires acainst her cnild, Mrs. oot took the girl 10 visit Campion. The child saw and heard things ou these visits that she should never have sean or heard and the result was that the girl, who was to0 young 1o Know tho danger to which she was exposed, soon fell a victim to the consviracy against her, in which her mother and Campion were en- gaged, Tho evidence was of the most re- volting nature.

The sult raises the whole question of the validity of the rates established by the Iowa railroad commission- ers in 1885 and it is the first case of the kiud. For a year the companies refused to uccept the commissioners’ schedule and demanded the old rates,which were higher. Tais casois to recoyer the difference of 00 on shipments during that time. 1t has been on trial for a week and has been hotly contested. The company raised the question of the unrea: sonableness of the commissioners’ schedule and puy on the witncss stand many high railrond officials, among them the traflic managers of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Pauland the Chicago & Northwestern and other compunics, but they -were unable to show that the rates were non-compensatory.

'ho parents of Samuel Wallacs, a boy of today roported to the police that their son 1oft home to attend the performance which ondod so disastrously and up to this time has failed to return, Diligent searon has been made at all the hospitals, but 1o trace of the 1ad can be found, and 1t is believed his body lies buried beneath the ruins of the theater. As s00n as it becamo noised about this morning that a number of persons were buried under tho walls of tho theater the crowd surged forward againsi tho police lines in an effort to get more closely to the scene, Cut O from Escape. Mr. Yale, manager of tho *‘Devil's Auc- tion," sald that at the time tha fire broke out thare were about seventy neople in all be- hind the curtain. The dressing rooms were in the rear of tho theater. Two stairways, ono on the right and one on the left of the vasement, led di- rectly to doors that admitted to alleyways iu the rear of tho thoater. All tho members of the company wera in the dressing rooms when the alarm of fire sounded throughout the bouse. Al those who sought safety by tho left stairway roached the street unhurt. At this timo tho leftside of the stage was right was flames. The canvass * sconery was liko so advaacing flames, and stifling smoke wero still untouched by the fire, but t of th already n mas friezo and paint of much oil before the groat volumes ot he rolled over and underneath the stage. It 15 Mr. Yale's belief that the unfortunate men ana womea who Are supposed to be beneath the ruins ran 10 the stairs that led to the fire. Finding their escape cut off they probably became confused aud blinded and choked by the smoko, falling on th airs or in the passage- way beneath the stage, Their tate then can be only too well surmised, as it was but a fow minutes after that the whole stago was a blazo. The names of tho theatrical poople who perished are as follows : List of the Dead. THOMAS LORELLA, dancer and grotesque artist. FLORA LORELLA. his wite, coryphes. VINCENTANI CHITTERY, premier dan- seuse, one of the Chittera sisters, Italiun dancers. FANCHON CONYERS, juvonile character, of Chicago. ARAH GOLDMAN, ¢ WILLIAM L. BROUK: delphia. Thomas Lorella, the dead gymnast, met his death in an heroic attompt to save the 1ife of his wife. Wheu the fire broke out he easily made his escape from the dressing room and reached the strect {n safety. He supposed that his wifo had preceded him and was safe. Not finding tier in the street he returned to the alleyway leading into the rear of the theater. It was filled with smoke and the flames were beginuing to break out of the roof of the theater. [urnming toa (riend he said: *I will see if she 1s safe if it costs me my life.” Mot Death with Iis Wife, Without heeding tha remonstrances of those standing about him he plunged into the dark, smoke-filled alley and disappeared from view. He was true to his word about seeking his wife, though ho met death on the way and lies buried boneath the ruins with her. No attempt at rescuing the been permitted as yot, owing ous condition of the ruins. Men are at work on the debris and the dangerous walis will be pulled down. Then the work of saving the bodies will begin. None of the injured have died ana all are reported tonight as doing well. The Times tonight will be printed on the Lecord’s presses, Tho Times’ loss is found to be much smatler than was at tirst antici- pated, owing to the construction of the annex building, which was designed to save tho valuable presses in the basement in case of fire. Double arches were built about, the machiuery and it was found this morning thul they had sustained the weight of the hundreds of tons of debris, and tho prosses and other machinery, valued at §200,000, had escaped with comparatively littie damage.
