VICTIMS OF THE DISASTER RECOVERED Efforts Will e Made to Fix the Blame for the Awfnl Affair — Mensures Belng Taken for Rellef of the Sufferers. Cmicaao, July 11.—The fall of night still finds the ruins of the cold storage building unexplored, and it is just beginning to be re- alized that the full extent of yesterday's dis- aster cannot be ascertained until this moun- tain of rubbish is carted awa At some points the accumulation is fifteen to twenty feet high and it is impossible to know how many charred bodies may rest beneath until these heaps have been thoroughly examined. The search {8 necessarily slow and tedious. Complete List of the Dead. The complete list of dead so far as known is as follows: OAPTAIN JAMES FITZPATRICK, LIEUTENANT JOHN I, FREEMAN.

In all, thirteen bodies have been recovered from the ruins. Besides these three five- men died at the hospital. It is now defi- nitely known that a number of workumen cm- ployed in the building ascendea the fatul tower with the firemen, and how many were lost no one knows. i The central attraction at the World's fair today is something not down in the guide books. It is the ruivs of the cold storage building burned yesterday with such fearful results in loss of life. Ten thousand people gathered around the debris this morning watching the search, which still goes on for bodies of victims. Early this morning the remains of threo more unfortunates were recovered, This discovery opens the question of how many persons besides the firemen lost their lives in the burned building. The total dead bodies so far recovered number thirteen, but the search inthe ruins thus far has been very slight because of the heat and confusion and there is no doubt that the list is still incomplete. Peoplo Who Aro Still Missing, The Columbian guards on duty at the scone during the fire have constantly main- tained that several World's fair visitors and% electrical employes and other workers were caught in the flames, and today's discoy- eries lend color to their contentions. It is certain there were a number of visitors and workmen in the building at the time the fire broke out. It has therefore been decided to make a minute examination of the ruins foou by fool as rapidly as possible. The electric light com- pany had a number of men in the lower part of the building stringing wires when the fire broke out ana several of these are still missing. Four Columbian guards are still unaccounted for, At least 100 people whe issing relatives or friends are around the ruins trying to identify the bodies discovered. In numerous instances these are World's fair visitors whose friends do not éven know they were in the neigh- Dborhood of the building, and 1t is therefore probablo that most of them will turn_ up safe. M mquiries come from Spring- field, 111 to the fate of Lieutenant John H. Freemanof fire company. No. 1. There is no longer any doubt as to his fate. e ‘was one of the first to reach the top of the burning shaft and was conscquently one of the first victims of the fire. His charred body has been recovered and in some way identitied by comrudes, though features and form are unrecognizable. I'rceman only en- tered the World's fair fire department a fow weeks ago. He was for many chief fire marshal of Springfield, but recently lost his position through a change in adminis- -nteen wounded are in the hospital and elsewhere, Among the wounded are: SUPERINTENDENT THONMAS BARRy, broken, will have to bo amputated MarsHAL Mureny, chict of Worla's fair fire department, slightly injured, MansuaL KENYON, “chief of brulsed. “Threo Columbian guards who went up the feadly cupola to help the firemen draw up the hose, are missing and it is supposed they shared the fate of the firemen, " Locnting tho Blame, The examination of the remains and the structure )lliu morning reveals its fluns; character ind many condemn the constri tion department of the World's fair for allowing it to go up in that form, It is said the council of administeation had b warned time tho gerous charact once by Marshal Murph p cil, to cut down expens. ed the with- drawal of the Columbian guards on duty there in spite of the protest from the com- mander. Butfrom the favorable dircction of the wind yesterday it is believed nothing could have provented the five from sweeping ri;?'lu through the whole city, The council of administration secret session all morning, and from the tone of the voices heurd from within it was evident the session wus stormy. Director of Works Burnham was before the council an hour. He declined to say what was asked him, The council finully adopted resolutions of respect for the bravery of the men who lost Jtheir lives and of sympathy with the bereaved, and recommending that the ex- position committee contribute to the relief ;uml and that suitable modals be presented 0 the survivors who showed special bravery The coroner's jury was impaneled, viewed the bodies ana adjourned till Thursday to give time for a preliminary investizat The coroner suys he und nds the firs plans of the burned building called for steel th, but that other plans subsequently allowed of wooden lath, of which the build- ing was coustruct Great crowds surrounded the morgue all day.

Moore met death in the fire which destroyed the iler- cules Tron company’s building at the World's fair grounds Monday, indications are that Margaret, Emma and Ora were in the build- ing ai the time of the conflagration, and the gravest fears for their safety are expressed. Mrs. Moore was cartied out of the death trap considerably burned about the head and upper portion of the body, but whether the children were in the building at the time is impossible to ascertain until Mrs. Moore can be scen, Yesterday a rumor was current on the streets that Mr. Moore had entered the building while the fire v raging to ascertain the safety of the family and had not been seensince. Dr. Duryea, who has been the pastor of the Moore family and knew them very well, tele- graphed to Mr. Moore's stant as to the whereabouts of Mr. Moore. Yesterday he received a telegram from the assistant stating that Mr. Mooro could mnot be found 1 was last scen in the building. 'his becoming noised about town at once gave color to the rumor that Mr. Moore and his family were all in the ruins of the cold storage structure. Tue Bip; however, to set at rest all doubts as to the result of the fire, at once asked its repre- 5 s in Chicago to throw some light on dful aisaster and its direful effects Moore's case, with the result that at noon a telegram was re- ceived stating that the Hercules Iron company reports that C. B. Moore got outof the building all right. But be- yond this meager information nothing can be learned of the fate of the three daughters who are known to have lived with thewr parents in the upper portion of the building, Franklin P.

Mr. Moore was intercsted fin putting throughout the World's fair grounds a nickle- in-the-slot lemonade machine. The building was used by My, Moore as a warehouse for these machines, and in order to be on the ground when set up he took rooms on the third floor of the building, which he has oc- cupied since the opening of the fair, Mr, C.

CLOUDS WITH SILVER LINING Oolorado Advocates of the White Metal Be- come Excited and Threatening, RABID UTTERANCES OF THEIR ORATORS Proceedings of the Great Mass Meoting at Denver Enlivened by Incendlary Speeches by Governor Walte and Others—A Lively Gathering. Dexven, July 11.—The mass meoting called by President Merrick of the State Stlver league and joint committees of the Chamber of Commerce, Real Estate and Stock ex- changes met at the Coliseum hall at noon today. The building was crowded with a thousand delegates from overy section of the state who had come to see what could be done toward crystalizing sentiment in Col- orado on the establishment of the free and unlimited coinage of silver. Among the delegates were the leading men of the state, like Senator Welcott, Congress- mea Bell and Pence, Governor Waite, David H. Moffatt, president of the First National bank, and many other bankers and members of the Colorado general assembly. Thero appeared to be but one fecling in all the gathering, and that was, “free coinage or nothing.” Prestdent Merrick's Romarks, In his address calling the meeting to order President Merrick said: “We ask for jus- tice, for the restoration of our rights. We will accept nothing less, The ploneers of Colorado have had their contract violated. Petitions and demonstrations have been un- availing. The crime of 1872 has gone on all vears unpunished. We are here to de- mand an carly and speedy settlement of the silver question.” Following his remarks the committee on organization was appointed and a motion made to take a recess until 2 o'clock. At this point some of the extremists attempted to introduce a resolution. This created an uproar which came near terminating in a riot. Ix-Congressman Belford finally sccured the floor and said: ‘“‘Gentlemen, the world is watching Colorado at this moment. We mnust be dignified and earnest: no passion should prevail. Remember, resistance to tyranny is obedience to God. I beg of you to adjourn.” This secemed to bring the angry crowd to its senses and the recess was taken. On rex bling, 1t could be y seen that the spirit which controlled the dele- gates at the morning session was not under coutrol, but only awaiting an opportunity to break out again. After order had, in a man- ner, been restored, the committees ap- ointed in the morning made their report, xcept the resolution committee, which will report at tomorrow’s session. Address of the Chairman, Hon. Charles S. Thomas, democratic na- tional committeeman from Colorado was made permanent chaivman. In nssuming the chawmanship, he suid: “To preside over a convention like this, which knows no party and alieges no creed, save the welfare of the pasple, is an honor of which any man may be justly proud, for to my mind the im- portance of this gathering and the work it shall accomplish is beyond the horizen of any humun judgment. It is to record the protest of a free peoplo aguinst the tenden- cies of the times, which recognize the ctnins of a few against the prosperivy and frecdom of the man, *We arc face to face with a crisis which has had but few parallels in the history of this country, so deep, so broad and so far- reaching that it does not involve exazger tion to predict that it means another phase of the old question of slavery over again, It is u stagnation of business, a paralysis of ommerce.” ‘This stagnation, Mr, Thomas went on to show, was from the failure to restore silver to its legitimate ratio of 16 to 1. “It may be that the road of free coinage is long and weary,” said Mr. Thomas, “It may be boset with” many dificulties and dis- s, but if it the mourntul pleasure of the stalwart peovle of the west and the south, that they who have attempted to involve this country in ruin must, like Samson, go down cnsiaved beneath’ the ruins of the times. There is no argument an be advanced against the re- nonetization of silver that is worthy the re- flection of ary patriotic citizen, and not one advanced against it that is not tinctured by some individual class and aimed at the masses of this country.” Governor Waite's Inflammatory Talk, At the conclusion of Mr. Thomas' re- marks some delegate called for Governor Waite. The echo of this one voice wus taken up in & mighty shout from 1,000 which was carried to the galleries, a8 many more joined in the demon: stration. Asthe old gray-haired goveraor started down the aisle to the platform the seene presented is beyond the pen’s descrip- tion. Men whose future depended upon the result of the cause for which they were fighting stood in their seats and yelled until exhausted, The exccutive, who comes from Aspen, one of the leading silver mining camps of the state, in his remarks confined himself to the question of silver and its de- monetization and to those in the eastand Turope who would not only ruin the west but the entive country by forcing such a policy upon us, concluded by saying: “1f the r shall attempt to sustain ats the strong hand we will meet that issue when it is forced upon us, for it is better infinitely that blood should flow to the horses' bridles rather than our national liberties be destroyed. “If it is true that the United States unable to carry out its govermentul policy without the dictation or consent of foreign powers; if we area province of Buropean monarchies, then we need another revolu- tion, another appeal to arms and we have won the battle. If war is_forced upon us, we will send to Halifax a_far greater army of British tovies, according to our popula- tion, than our forefuthers seut thero after the revolutionary ““Lhe war hus b that must alw pression and tyr: es of man.” he address created a sensation and a scene of great confusion followed, the ap- plause being deafening. Judge Kerr of Pueblo spoko in the same inflammatory Governor Waite, He endorsed the revolutionary telegraw sent by ¥ Holden to the cast, in which the latter de. clared that 1f the war upon silver continued, it would result in the west repudiating all her obligations; that 130,000 men would be' paupers ana 500,000 people upon the verge of starvation, and & revolution be tho final result, Would Not Listen to Reason, ‘When he had finished, J. Cook, jr., with difticulty got the floor. His first sentence DI od a furore und the convention seemed posed to hoot him down. He said: “We liable to do things we may regret.

We are 0ing east as men to educate men iu the east. Y{ we fail, then is the time to act. There is time enough to talk as you feel now.” Then the gonvention went wild again, and cries of “We know what we are doiug,” “You are a gold bug,” were heurd, Mr. Cook concluded his remarks with a heroic effort to secure moderation, but it was apparent that he had made uo impression upon his audience.

Cnicaao, July 11.—Hon, Whitelaw Reid, ex-minister to France, who, with his family has been secing the World's fair for some days past, was caught last nizht by a re- porter just as he was starting back for New York. Mr. Reid expressed great delight with tho fair. The reporter asked Mr. Reid if he had road ex-Senator Ingally' criticism of his candidacy for the vice presidency. “No,” said Mr. Reid, with a laugh, “but you know I was not in favor of that nomina- tion myself, so probably the ex-senator and 1 would not differ materially.” The reporter then showed Mr. Reid the passage in which Mr, Ingalls sneered at him as “‘uxorious ana aristecratic,” objected to his address, manners and_ways, and spoko of his “surreptitious insults to the laboring men 'hat,” said Mr. Reid, with more serious- ness, *15 absurd. I have been a laboring man mysell, fargnore than Mr. Ingalls ever was, and he would probably be puzzled to ccify any insult, surreptitious or othe wise, that I ever cffered to labor, or to an honest laboring man. Al this talk about hostility to the natioual tieket last year on account of the fifteen-year-old strike, which was settled to the satisfaction of the labor unions themselves, ‘is sheer clap-trap any- way. There never \were 1,000 votes affected by it in New York, even when it was an open question. T say when it was sot- tled that the labor unions still carried it into pelitics is to accuse them, not merely of bad faith, but of a systematio violaticn of their own cardinal principles and is thus offering ~ them the grossest insuits. Of course, our opponents made a_great hubbuo about it, but most of those whom they claim were affected were eniisted already on their side. T doubt whether Powderly or any other reputable and responsible labor leader will say that the question turned a thousand labor votes in the United Stutes last fall. Cer- tainly iv aid not turn one where a single ritle shot at the Carnegie works turned hun- dreds.” - What about the ‘uxoriousness acy? 1 asked the reporter. pshaw!” said Mr. Reid, ‘‘whoever heard before of a rational man attacking a candidate because he was decently fond of his wife? The rest of Mr. Ingalls’ complaint seems to be that in other particulars, also, 1 act like o gentleman. ‘Well, out in Kansas they surely did not bring that accusation against him. And yet, when he was last a candidate, although he sbandoned his sup- posed principles and crawled in the dirt before them, Mrs. Lease and Mr. Pefler thrust him into the gutter. He has been lying there ever since, shouting murder and bad language,’ “What can be his motive for the attack?”’ pursued the reporter. How do I know? And what's the use of guessing? He seems -to lack employment since ho was thrown out of office-holding, and I suppose the man’ must make a_living by lecturing or writing for the syndicates, We have dozeus of such statesmen out of u job applying to us for work after every clection, and 1 fancy vour paper has the same experience,” and, “with a cheery good- by, the New York editor swung into a cab and started for his train. and aris- v TRUUBLE EXPECTED, Kansas Coal Miners and Mine Owners Again Fail to Agree.

VaLranraiso, Chili (¥ia Galveston, Tex.), July 1L.—[By Mexican Cable to the New York Herald—Special to Tug Bre)— Dispatches from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, via Montevideo, say that an assault has been made upon that town from the land and ses by the revolutionary forces. This assault was foreshadowed when I cabled the Herald that Admiral Wardelkolk had formally de- clared in favor of the revolutionists and had appeared in front of the town of Rio Grande do Sul in a steamship with 500 armed sol- diers aboard, When the news of the admiral's arrival on the steamship Jupiter spread in the town the citizens were terror-stricken. They feared an immediate attack. Ma of them abandoned their nomes and sought refuge in the country buck of the town. Admiral ‘Wardelkolk postponed the bombardment of the town from the sea until the arrival of insurgent land forces under General Suraiva, the preconcerted plan being to begin an as- sault from the land and sea at the same time. Meanwhile the rebel admiral's force was increased by the crew and officers of the gunboat Camocin, who declared in favor of the revolutionists and put their vessel under his command. The government tow boat Manuel Diablo, while trying to enter the harbor, was fired upon from the gunboat Camocin, General Saraiva's battalions began mass- ing back of the town yesterday and last might the bombardment was opened. Seized the Telograph Ofhce, The result of the fight is not known be- cause the government ofiicers in Rio Grande do Sul seized the telegraph oftice and refused to allow messages to be sent. There 1s much alarm in Montevideo over the report of *the great troubles in Rio de Janeiro. The censorship placed on the tele- graph wires by the Brazilian government makes it impossible to contirm the report, but the situation has been serious for some time and it would not be surprising if the story should prove true. The Herald's correspond- ent in Buenos Avres, Argentine, telegeaphs that Colonel Gil has been sent to La Plata to enforce the decree recently is- sued, requiring the disarmament of military forces in the various states, The governor of La Platais willing to disarm the state forces, but the state legislature is resolved that this shall not be done. Members of the Chamuver of Deputies of the state have asked the Argentine federal conpress to aunul the decree for disarmament, and gen- eral trouble is feared, A dispotch from the Herald’s correspond- ent at Montevideo says that the Uruguay congress has madean appropriation of an ad- ditional 10,000 for the exhibit of Uruguay at the World’s fair.

In the village of Gorgono the canal agent notified the entive population, including the local judge and mayor, to move out. These officials appealed to the gov- ernor of Panama, The eovernor declared that M.
