Suddenly the front walls sagged forward, and the great mass of hot bricks, timber and iron crashe downward. Almost at the same instant the rear wall crumbled and fell to th® alley at the rear. Above the tumult of the panic-stricken crowd rose the shricks of the wounded and imprisoned firemen. Fif- teen In all were in the path of the tumbling walls, but ten escaped alive after a few .

Frelght Contracts to {hinese Ports Have Been Canceled. .. SHANGHAI, Oct. The Chinese mer- chants are cancellng freight contracts to Chefoo and Tien-Tsin owing to a report that the Japanese Intend to blockade these ports. Several Japanese war ships are patrolling the coast near Wel Hai Wei, the Chinese i port on the Shan Tung promontory. They approach the coast at night and steam sea- ward at daybreak. It is said the object of these movements is to prevent Chinese war hips from leaving Wel Hai Wei or Port | Arthur on the opposite side of the Yeiiow sea. It is stated here that the Japanese do not intend to interfere with the export of coal 9 to China. ALL WAR RE PORTS Both Sides Compel Correspondents to Sub- i mit “Copy” to Govornment Agent: SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 6.—J. S. Van Buren, agent for the Pacific Mail Steam- Ship company at Hong Kong, was one of the passengers on the steamer Gaelic, Mr. Van » Buren says that it s impossible to get re- L llable news of the war at any place in the ~ Orlent. All news recelved with Hong Kong advices come by way of Shanghal, and as the government controls the wire, all informa- N tlon concerning the engagements between the % two contending forces s garbled to suit the Chinese authorities. The news obtainable at Yokohama is no more satisfactory as it 88 modified or exaggerated to sult the no- tlons of the Japancse authorities. “I am iy creditably informed,” he sald, ‘“that the correspondents who are following the Japan- ese army were only permitted to do 8o under an agreement that their correspondence + should be submitted to the Japanese authori- ~ tles for revision and 1 was startled to learn at Yokohama that letters sent by the v officers of a United States steamship to 2 their families whil the vessel was at Chemulpo, were Inspected by Japanese officials, The letters necessarily had to go by way of Yokohama and the Japanese took on themselves the privilege of opening the letters for fear they might contain in- NR LIABLE. A formation of a nature which might be detri- mental to Japanese Interests, Fumihira Sivas, a Japanese artist, had been spending several months in the interior Wwhen the government issued a call for troops. ! “At the place where T was stopping the troops had to march twenty miles to Hiros- chima,” sald he. ‘“From that place they were to be conveyed in vessels to Corea. | There wers sad leave takings. Poor farmers, too poor to pay thelr way, ran after the army twenty miles to cheer them on (o vic- tory. The whole country went wild at the prospect of war, and danger to life and limb was the least thing that the father and mother thought of fn bidding their sons goodbye, / “Mothers are not praying In Japan today that their sons be spared. They gather In the places of worship in great numbers and pray, but thelr prayers are offered up that Japan might win. “Japan has the sympathy of the entire foreign population of the Orient except the . English, English sentiment, as far as I B have been able to observe, is with the . Chinese. In Yokohama, a few weeks ago, a wealthy Euglish merchant made a wager >g With a French resident that the first im- BB Dortant land engagement would result in £ & victory for the Chinese. He bet $20,000 inst $4,000, and the odds were 5o great b that it was the talk of the country. The battle of Ping Yang decided the wager. The Englishman lost his $20,000." “I notice that the American papers have i been Indulging in a great deal of specula- tion on the probable fate of the thousands of Chinese soldiers who were made captives ut that battle. Let me say that they will be treated most cordlally. That is the out- lined policy of the Japanese government. They are prisoners of war, but they will not be submitted to the barbarities and cruel- ties which have been heaped upon my coun- trymen by tha Chinese. The Japanese gov- | ernment does not want to be hard on the Chinese any more than it wants to be hard on the peopls of Corea. As evidence of the | great consideration which Japan wants to show to the people of Corea, the Japanese army s not foraging upon the poor Corean farmers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.—Secretary Herbert has been forehanded in taking steps for the protection of the lives and property of Ameri- can residents in na, believed now to be endangered by rebellious and unrestraived troops. The secretary about three wesks ago suggested to Admiral Carpenter to con- fer with the commanders of the foreign ships in Chinese waters and arrange to co- operate with them if possible. The plan was to have ome or two war ships at each of | the treaty ports and other coast towns where foreigners reside, to give protection to the citizens or subjects of the nations party to t agreement.

PARIS, Oct. 5.—The -Gaulols, commenting on the British cabinet council held yesterday, asks It British intervention in the Corean | trouble might not constitute a repetition of the famous coupe of 1878, which enabled Admiral Lord John Hay to take possession of the island of Cyprus, The Figaro, referring to the same sub- Ject, says: The British once landed in China would not be able to resist the desire to exercise pressure upon the Japanese in order to prevent them from deriving all the ad- vantages of victory. The troubles may then commence and the peace of Europe will be threatened, for Russia, France and even America will certainly intervene.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5.—A meeting of women in opposition to Tammany was held last night. The meeting was in pursuance of a special notice issued last Tuesday by Colonel John G. Gifford, chairman of the Twenty- third district anti-Tammany organization. Supplementary o Colonel Gifford’s notice was one from Mrs. Mark (“Brick”) Pomeroy inviting such women as wished to take part in the movement to call at her house, 50 West Ninety-sixth street, Thursday evening for the purpose of going together to the hall, which Is only a block away. Colonel Gifford called the meeting to order and Mrs. Pomeroy, who s strikingly hand- some and who was at her very best in the light colored gown the wore, was unani- mously asked to preside. As she walked down the aisle to the platform she was greeted with applause. When she spoke she sald that New York was like a house that was reeking with filth, and it was emi- nently proper that the women of the city should organize to assist in the house clean- ing. s Ella Rowly was then chosen secre- tary and treasurer. Pomeroy made a speech In ‘which he said a large percentage of the poverty and misery of the clty was due to Tammany, because Tammany built private places with money which its leaders stole from funds generally contributed to relieve suffering.

FALLING OFF IN PUBLIC LAND ENTRIES Commissloner Recommends the Abolition of the Contract System of Survesing Government Land—Special Attor- neys to Prosecate L a Cases, WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.—8. W. Lamoreaus, | commissioner of the general land office, in his annual report shows there has not been as much activity in public land matters this ar as last, due to the hard times in the west and consequent decrease in the immig: tion. Among other recommendations made Is one for an innovation in survey. Instead of the contract system, under which lands are now surveyed, he says the government should make the surveys. He suggests the work be done by the geodeth points out that the present geodetical survey is compelled to cover the same ground which has been previously gone over by the contract surveyors. The geographical 1 the topographical survey be made at the same time and with much less expense. The disposal of land for the year ending June 30, was as follows: Sold for cash, 613, al survey and surv 26 acres; miscellaneous entries, 9,763,398 acres; Indian lands, 28,876 acres; total de- crease compared with last year, 1,485,043 acres.

CON Board of Appraisers and Treasury OMcinls Discassing Disputed Polnts, {INGTON, Oct. 5.—Mr. Thad Shar- member of the New York board of customs appraisers, was at the Treasury department today in conference with Assistant Secretary Hamlin regarding several important questions connected with the administration of the new tariff act. One question under discussion was whether the entire woolen schedule of the new act, which includes camel hair, etc., goes into effect January 1, 1895, or only those parts which re- late to articles of which the component or chief component is of wool. The board of appraisers have decided that the entire sche- dule goes into operation January 1 next, but whether the department will adopt that rul- ing and so instruct collectors has not yet been decided. Another question of great im- portance discussed was what should col i- tute the value for duty purposes of beet sugar imported from Germany. The local appraiser at New York decided that the value for duty purposes should be the local market value, added to the bonus paid by Germany on beet sugar for export. The question is an impor- tant one, as it would materially increase the cost of the beet sugar Imported from Ger- W rett, a general many and would likely greatly reduce the importation READY FOR HIS TR A'.

All I want is fair treatment.” Referring to his capture by ex-Chief Drummond, Cap- tain Howgate said: “I have been greatly amused at what Mr. Drummond claims for a great part of the detective enterprise. The whole truth of the matter Is, I have openly walked the streets of New York for the last three years, Hardly & day or night has passed that I have mot recognized and been recognized by people from Washington, I never intentionally harmed a man, woman or child, and I have always endeavored to treat everybody as 1 would like to be treated. What most concerns me now is the position in which my family will be placed.” AID FOR FOREST FIRE SU WASHI 0 was interviewed said FERERS, Congress Expected to Give Permission for the Sale of Damaged Timber, WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.—8. W. Lamoreaux, commissioner of the general land offics, in his annual report to the secretary of the in- terfor, makes several suggestions for relief of the sufferers by forest fires in Wisconsin and Minnesota. He says that the timber affected by fires on public lands is left in such a condition that if not cut and disposed of in a short time it will become worm eaten and worthless, thus depriving the land of a great proportion of its value to the settler seeking title thereto. Numerous applications have been made by the sufferers from these fires for permission 1o cut the timber at once and sell it. He therefors recommends that congress be asked to glve the permission necessary to allow the cutting of this timber, and thus prevent the total loss of millions of feet. He also suggests that congress take other necessary steps for the relief of the fire sufferers, following the precedent set in similar cases, gl No Appropriation for the Purpose, WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—It is understood Commissioner Miller of the internal revenue bureau has written a letter to Secretary Carlisle giving many reasons why it is im- possible, in the absence of any appropria- tlon for that purpose, to earry into effect the provision of the new tariff act relieving from revenue tax alcohol used in the arts medicinal preparations, ete. It is expected Mr. Carlisle will indicate his approval of the commissioner's views either today or to- morrow and direct that nothing further until congress makes an appropriatios i Seals Are Being Exter ted.

One of a detachment of lancers acting as escort struck the man repeatedly with his sword and drove him back to the crowd, where he was taken in charge by the police, The prisoner proved to be an imbecile, and it is believed that his action was prompted solely by a desire to shake hands with the duke and duchess. ————t HEEL TRUST FORMED.

Thou- sands of people waited patiently on the streets, however, and gave the distinguished party a great ovation when it proceeded from the Rock Island depot to the Savery hous escorted by a band. The walks were lined all sides and it is estimated that fully 20,000 persons saw the Ohfo statesman he passed along and the cheers were continu- ous during the procession. Thousands of country people have come in during the and probably not one-tenth of those who desired to hear the great orator were accommodated tonight. In the carrfage with Governor McKinley were Governor Jackson, Chairman Blythe and Major E. H. Conger. Other carriages were occupied by Colonel Fred Grant, young Tecumseh Sherman, Gen- eral G. M. Dodge, General Howard, General Swayne, Colonel D, B. Henderson and others coming with the party from the Army of the Tennessee reunion just closed at Council Bluffs, Colonel Grant and Mr. Sherman held an informal reception at the hotel while the rest were eating supper, and hundreds shook the hands of Governor McKinley before he repaired to the meeting at Calvary taber- nacle. The places of meeting were thronged early and more were turned away than could get In. Major McKinley spoke at the tabernacle first, while Congressman Dolliver was talking at Foster's opera house, Mc- Kinley afterwards going there and speak- Ing briefly. A banquet was afterwards held at the Savery hotel, and was an inspiring affair. Governor McKinley will leave early in the morning over the Northwestern road for St. Paul, speaking at Ames, Marshall- town and other places enroute. A queer incident occurred at Neola, where several hundred people stood around the car of Governor McKinley giving him an en- tirely respectful attention. When the train started, however, instead of giving the usual parting cheer, the whole crowd, with few exceptions, began to shout “Hurrah for Weaver,” the populist candidate for congress in the Council Bluffs district. It was ex- plained that Neola was a particularly strong center of populism. At Avoca a long stop was made and Gov- ernor McKinley left the car to speak from a platform to the several thousand assembled. He claimed that 90 per cent of the products of agriculture in this country are consumed in this country and the other 10 per cent goes abroad. The republican party is look- ing after the 90 per cent, the democratic party gives its attention to the 10 per cent. Two thousand men were waiting at Atlantic to hear McKinley. Stops of one or two min- utes were made along the route and at every one there was & crowd that insisted upon hearing a word from the governor. on as by It became known along the route that the And Sherman ‘were | T rd the tram and were compélled to show themeelves, and at several points to say a few words. M'KINLEY AT THE BLUFFS, Apostle of Protection and Republicanism Tendered an Enthusiastic Reception Goyernior 'Willlam McKinley was escorted from Omaha to Council Bluffe this morning by a comumittee, consisting of I M. Treynor, L. C. Dawson and Mayor J. H. Cleaver, ar- riving at tae Grand hotel at 9:40. o'clock. He was taken to the hotel parlors, where he was informally greeted by Congressman D. B. Henderson, Governor Frank D, Jack- son, Major 8. H. M. Byers, Congressman J, A. T. Hull, Hoyt Sherman, W. H. M. Pusey, Judge J. R. Reed, Attorney Geenral John Y. Stone, Judge W. C. James and other notables, The governor was accompanied by James P. Smith of Urbana, 0., state li- brarian of Ohio, who was acting as manager for McKinley on this trip. “But,” said Mr, Smith to a Bee reporter, “McKinley doesn’t need to take a manager along with him; the people do all the man- aging that is required. He has had an en- thuslastic reception wherever he has gone, and as the champlon of protection and the originator of a measure whose downfall ushered in a period of unprecedented de- pression in business, has received one ova- tion after another, those particularly enthusi- astic being the workingmen who have seen the bread taken from their mouths by sub- sequent democratic legislation,” After a few minutes had been spent fn shaking hands the hotel parlors, Mr, McKinley was escorted to the street in front of the hotel where, facing Bayliss park, a platform had been ‘erected. In spite of the fact that the arrangements were so late in belng perfected that no very extensive adver- tising could be done, an audience of between 3,000 and 4,000 was gathered avout the plat- form, and’ as soon as McKinley emerged from the door, walkink arm in arm with Governor Jackson, a lusty cheer went up. Governor Jackson introduced the speaker in his brief, vigorous way, and McKinley stepped to the front of the platform and commenced his remarks.

CE, Inside Facts About Interruption of MeKi 'y At the Collseun Many of those who did so much to make the MeKinley rally in Omaha Thursday night a4 complete success are now expressing thele disgust at the cheap dramatic methods ems ployed by one Tom Majors to attract at< tentlon to himself in an endeavor to win am ovation to which he was in no sense en= titled. Major McKinley had been speaking a quarter of an hour or more when Tom Majors walked down the aisle, ascended the speaker's stand from the rear, crowded him: 1 through the hundreds of Invited guests on the platform and ostentatiously put out his hand to the orator. In order to do all this Majors was compelled to put a great many people to an inconvenience. More than this, he had to interrupt one of the greatest republicans the country has ever produced in the very midst of an important argument. Major McKinley was too much of a gentleman to even show surprise, but it is surmised that he went away from Omaha with some very queer notions con= cerning the good breeding of a man who g running as a candidate for governor. Majors' object in thus thrus-ing into prominence was clearly understond by everybody present, He stmply desired te make a cheap, melodrama‘ic entrance into the hall after the distingulsh»d orator nad obtained a mastery over the audiencs, Thea hie hoped by walking tc the front of ‘he plate form and shaking hands with the orator of the evening to secure an ovation which eould be pointed to by his friends as a spontuneous tribute to his own personal p.pularity. The scheme fell as flat as its impudence de= manded it should. But very few people out of the 13,000 in the hell raised thelr voices in limeclt sounded suspiciously like those of men who had been' let into the project. The impudence of this attempt to palm off the enthuslam ralsed by a few claquers 11 be better appreclated when It is under= stood that Majors was with Governor Me- Kinley at Lincoln during the afternoon and had been separated from him but a short time. ~ There was no occasion for an og- tentatious greeting. The thing was un- precedented and was witnessed with dige gust by thousands of voters, who recognized In the action the purpose of a cheap politi= cian to borrow a little undeserved applause, Governor McKinley did not come to Ne- braska to electioneer for Tom Majors, al. though the Majors crowd have left nothing undone to convey that impression, He camq to Nebraska at the earnest request of friends, He declined to discuss state question; and merelv alluded in the broadest way to the coming election In Nebraska. On the way to Omaha from Lincoln he was requested o allude to the republican defection from Majors and the tattoo:d candidates, but with that good sense which has always characters ized his every public utterance, Governor McKinley declined to bolster up the wan| fortunes ‘L’lnl " ;.)lolltlell candidate who every action shows that he realizes has forfelted the confidence of his m&“ Ao MUNICIFAL LEAGUE’S PLANS, Froposes to Nominate Candidates for the €ity Councll and Vote for Them, The Municipal league held an important session at the Board of Trade rooms last. ovening to discuss the coming municipal campalgn. Reports were received from the First and Third ward councils showing that active organizations had been formed In these wards and that the interest taken ig lhT league was both gratifying and encours aging. The maln purpose of the meetin; hows ever, was to adopt some plan of political action in the coming city campalgn, At @ previous meeting a committee had been appointed for the purpose of recommendi) a direct program. The committee re| last evening a resolution to the effect that the league recommend to the republican and democratic parties in each ward a can~ didate for councilman and endeavor to e= cure the nomination of the men so recome mended. In the event that one of the candidates so recommended was nominated the league was to direct Its every effort to secure the clection of that candidate withe out regard to party. If both were nome inated the league would not feel called upon to take speclal action, If nelther were nominated then the league would place a candidate of its own in the field by petis tion. The resolution was altered so ag to Iuclude the populist party in its scope and then adopted, against the protest of Captain H, B.
