The silver men claimed they would no less than 800 and perhaps 350 delegates for free sil- ver. It developed that there were 270 free silver delegates. It was a fighting minority, but it would not carry the fight further than on the platform. The for of the board of public works is said to be the only free silver man on the state ticket, al- though lines were not drawn on the candi- dates. Governor Campbell called on his friends to- night before leaving and with Senator Brice and others arranged for beginning at once an aggressive campalgn, In which they expect to co-operate with leading democrats through- out the country. Previous to his election as governor in 1889, Campbell had been three times elected to congress In a republican district, and is recognized as the best cam- paigner of his party in Ohio. His running mate for lieutenant governor, John E. Pe Jey, was for years superintendent of Cincinnati schools, and jast weck retired clerk of the courts of Hamilton county He is also a fine campaigner Prof. Knott, the candidate for auditor of state, a college man, and the nominee for supreme judge, 18 now on the common pleas bench, Mr. Fair- banks for attorney general, is a friend of Burman Columbus.

Senator Brice returned his thanks for the double honor conferred upon him, after which the report of rules and order of busi- ness was adopted. Ex-Congressman John F. Follett of Cincinnati had an amendment adopted limiting any debate to twenty min- utes on each side with a view to preventing a protracted debate on the resolutions. Ex-Congressman Frank Hurd, as chairman of the committee on resolutions, offered the following report adopted by a vote of 19 to 2 DEMAND WALLER'S RELEASE State Department Much Annoyed by the Dilatoriness of France, | EVIDENCE THAT THEIR CASE IS POOR and Will Not Only cdinte Relense, but for Pec niary Damages and o Deters mining of Hix Rights. e for His WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—There is good authority for the statement that a peremptory demand will be made by the United upon France the release of ex-Consul John Waller of Tamatave, and that satisfac- tory indemnity will be required for his arrest and imprisgonment, and a probable for a commission to determine his rights in Madagascar, The discussion of the case be- tween the French and American diplomats has reached a point where, it is said, there is little else for the United States to do, owing to the fact that repeated requests for a copy of the charges and ony upen which Waller was convicted have not been furnished When we consider the fact that the demo. | by the French government.

A condition which makes the delay of France more aggravating is the fact that the de partment is aware of the seriousness of Wal- | ler's iliness in prison, an1 further confinement is injuring his health. International questions move slowly, but the delay in pro- ducing papers and testimony in the case of Waller has been of a very exasperating nature and has resulted in sharp pressure by the Unitel States officials to bring about a settlement, Some of the reports which have been received at Washington say the treat- ment of Waller has been unjust and his ar- rest and trial a breach of internationl comity. WALLER'S FRIENDS SATISFIED. With reference to the criticisms which have ben made from time to time concern- ing the State department’s conduct of the Waller case, it can be stated that Mr. VY- ler's friends here are satisfied that the case is receiving the most careful and zealous at- tention of the department.

BRICE DELEGATES KNOCKED OUT, The senator was loudly cheered when fin- roduced and frequently applauded when he proceeded, especially in his reference to the endorsement of the platform of 1892 and his pronounced opposition to free colnage, also in his eulogy of President Cleveland. Congressman Byrou Richie of Toledo pre sented the majority report on credentials, which seated the Brice delegates from all the contested countlss. When that part of the report was read stating that the Camp- bell delegates from Butler county were seated unanimously there was hearty applause. Mr Phillip Crow of Keuton presented a minority report to seat the anti-Brice delegation from Cuyahoga coun which includes the ecity ot Cleveland. hese reports were received with alternating demonstrations of ¢ rs and hisses. Mr. A. D. Weitzel pre minority report to seat the anti-Br gates from Clark county, headed by John H. "Thowmas These minority reports included more than the free silver Issue. Tho opposition to Sena tor Hrice was also invelved in them. John H. Clark of Youngstown, a radical gold man delivered & phillippie in adyocacy of the mi- nority report of Mr. Crow, which favored tho fres silver delegates from Cuyahoga county, which were tho most pronounced anti-Bri men at the convention. Horace Alvord of Painesville made an elaborate argument for seating the anti-Brice delegates from Cuyahoga county and Frank Le lond of Cleveland was equally elaborate in defense of the Brice delegates, On motion of Thomas M.

As the Drice dolegates from Clark county already held the seats under the report of the com- mittee on credentials there was no change in this case.

R, Wolfe Tde Hix Wife and DENVER, Aug. 21.—The body of General Charles Adams was taken out of the rulns of the Gumry hotel at 2 o'clock this after- noon, The fire which has been smouldering in the debris has broken out afresh and is now burning briskly. It threatens cate to the front portion of the hotel, which is still standing, and destroy all that re- mbins of the hotel. There are still several bodies buried under the ruins. The fire is under control. It was set by City Bullding Inspector Cutshaw. Workmen digging in the ruins had dis- covered a body, believed to be that of Gen- eral Adams, just before the fire was start but were driven away by the flames befor they could extricate the corpse. Coroner H. H. Martin has the following prominent business men as a jury to in- vestigate the Hotel Gumry disaster: R. W, Speer, K. C. G. Cooper, T. B, Cronte, F. E. Edbrock, Frank Demange and Charles Bab- cock, ‘The inquiry, which will begin this evening, will be thorough and s ching. Seventeen bodies have so far been taken out of the ruins, Several removed early (o day are xo burned and maimed as to be al- most unrecogni; positively identified. G. R. Wolfe, a cigar dealer of Lincoln, Neb., has identified the remains of a woman and child found in the ruins as his wife and daughter, and will take the bodies to Lincoln for burial. At noon today three more bodies had been recovered, making the total number twenty. Of the seven taken out yesterday four have been fdentified as A. M. Munroe of Coloralo Springs, formerly of Carthage, 0., and Lizzie Lager, Louise Reinguber and Emma Mille- thaler, chambermaids. The other three have not been positively identified, but one s believed to be the body of Peter Gumry Including the body of Gene Charles Adams, which had been partially uncovered and identified when the fire started i the ruins this afternoon, twenty-one bodies have hm-nl taken {rom the wreck of the Gumry hotel. In excavating the ruins things have been found which raise the presumption that W. B. Owen, a wealthy man and mayor of Hobart, Ind., 1s among the Killed, although his name does not appear on the register. There have been found in the debris two shirts on which are stitched the initials “W. B, O a ve in the pocket of which were busne: cards of W. B.

Secr Young says he cannot be- licve that” Mr. Owen Is in Denver now, alive or deal, The latest remains ta be taken out are al- most* unrecogntzable. One of threée unidenti- ficd bedles proves to be that of Peter Gumry. One of the other bodies s believed to be the remaing of A. S. Blake of Pueblo, and the last is the body of Willlam Decker, bell boy, or W. J. Corson of Pueblo. Friends of W. J Blake of Florence, Colo., are convinced that he was also in the Gumry when the explosion occurred. Day Clerk Garvin says the names of J. 8. Kirk and J. H. Brown of Omsha, Neb., and Miss Jennie B. Howard of Boston Mass., are in the handwriting of Will Rich. wrds, ‘the elevator pilot, and wer2 probabl fictitious. This leaves only W. B. Qwen, W. Harvey and W. A. Dodd, or Todd, to be accounted for, ner Martin is still of the opinion that e many more bodies in the ruins, Mr. Owen has been interested in some experiments with clay for the making of brick, and it was natural, Mr. Young says, that he would bring with him to Denver samples of the Kind of clay used in his big vitrified brick plant in Cleveland, O. CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—W. B. Owen is not one of the victims of the Denver hotel hor- ror, as he was at his office in this city terday. He did not come to his office to. day, and his associates were at a loss to know who the man is on whose body Mr. Owen's cards were found, unless he was the latter's son, a solution they feared, was the true one. 18 R Apportionment of Surve WASHINGTON, Aug. 21.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The appropriation of $§250,000 made by the last congress for surveys during ‘the fiscal year ending June 30, 1806, has been apportioned by the survey division of the general land office, and the apportionment approved by the acting secretary of the in- terior.

LESS THAN TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS STOLEN Frightene: wit When Fires Eunglue te m—Sev oxsen clock yesterday morninig the easte bound Atlantic express on the Union Pacifio was held up at Buttermilk hill, about two miies this side of Brady Island, where the sand hills teriainate at the Union Pacific track. The express car was damaged by dynami and $100 taken from a small safe. On the cast side of these sand hills a wagon road comes fn from the north, angling westward, Here is a level stretch of road and was the of a bold train robbery Two men boarded the train at Brady, going for= ward over the tender after the train was in motion, and with revolvers drawn they held up the fireman and engineer, compelling the latter, at the point of a re to g0 back to the baggage car, door and let them in, which he did *by informing the baggage man that they were held up and that the robber had a gun at his head, Upon getting into the car the expressman was compelled to open the smaller safe. He could not open the larger one, «nd the rob- bers proceeded to blow the top of it out with dynamite. In the meantime the fireman managed to give the robbers the slip, and going forward he uncoupled the engine from the tiain and made the run to Gothenburg to secure a posse of men to help capture the bandi In a short time twenty voluns teers were enroute to the scene of the robs bery, but before they arrived the men had disappeared, The bandits wore black slouch hats, with black silk handkerchiefs for masks. ~ They were about five feet ten in height and wou weigh about 150 pounds each. They were roughly dressed and tuned their voices to disguise the tone. - They rode horses and evie dently came in from the hills. The windows were all blown out of the baggage car by the explosion of the dynamite and it seems that the bandits were experts in using the explosive. When the dynamite exploded the pissens gers were considerably excited, but wire not moiested, The scttion foreman at Vroman his seen men around the place of the robbery for several days and has a good description of them. Superintendent W. L. Parke and Sheriff Miller of North Plaito went (o thie scene of the robbery in a special car, with a pigse o men. Barly in the morning men were sent out from North Platte and Brady and every cffort is being made to capture the robbers before they get out of the country. Superintendent Sutherland of Omaha went out on No. 7, and will take charge of the situation. LD BY ) scene Iver, open the RAINMEN, phers Carricd n Most Liberal Supe ply of Winehester Rifles, The Atlantic express on the Union Pas cific, which was held up by express robbers near Brady lsland early yesterday mo:ning, pulled into Omaha at 1:35 yesterday afternoon, two hours and ten minutes late. If the news of the occurrence had not preceded it, the appearance of the express car was suffie clent to indicate that something unusual had occurred. The dynamite explosion hud blown all the windows from the car and through the openings could be seen the shattered ine terior. The floor was still littered with bits of glass and splinters and the safes, trunks and other articles all bore evidence of the tremendous force of the explosive, The remains of a sure enough train robs bery were scattered all over the car. The big safe at one side, on which the dynamite had been piled, looked as though it had been through a fire. The top was cracked in seve eral directions and one big rent ncar the center indicated the spot where the explosive had been placed. The steel bars on the cor- ners were broken and beat, but the door wag still unopened and the jagged rent in the top was not sufficient to afford access to the interior. In the center of the car lay a trunk that had evidently been laid over the dynamite on the safe by the rubbers. It was splintered into kindling wood and the cont-nts were piled up in a little heap with the re-iains of the receptacle. Trunks were stacked up bee tween the safe and the rear do.r of tie cap and these all bore evidence of rough usage, On the side next to the safe they were conside erably splintered and holes had Lcen cut through two of them by flying deb i, The interior framework of the car did not escape and long splinters that had been partisily des tached by the explosion hung from ths roofs Numerous dents showed where p.e es of the ttered safe had struck, Express Messe) r Thomas engaged in making up his report scem pereeptibiy rattled by his seisitional experience.

Mr. McCarl sald that the first Lo of the contemplated robbery wus wicn the train stopped and the englueer rap.ed op the north door. He did not answer at firsty but when the engineer called to .im to open the door he did so. He was then cons fronted by the muzzle of a gun and walked out of the car and away to oue while tho robbers did the work Conductor Flyun was near the rear when it stopyed. He says that this was at exactly five minutes after 1 o'clock, He started to go forward to see what was the matter, but had not gone far when one of the robbers leveled a Winchester in his face and Invited him to remaln whero he was or take a dose of lead. He preferred the former course under the circumstances, and remained with the passengers until thd thieves had completed their work and left, The whole affair occupled thirty minutes, The engineer and firemen who were If charge of the engine left the train at Grand Island. Conductor Flynn sald that the robe bers had un btedly boarded the train af Br Island. They lay low until the trafn reached the second curve in the sand hills, when they climbed over the tender and leveled their revolvers at the engineer and fireman and compelled them to stop the traine Then they ordered the engineer to cut the train bebind the exp car, but he pres tended that he could fot undo the coupling and this was abandoned. Then they Ian: him to the north door of the express car an rdered him to call to the express messengem 10 the door. The engineer told the mes: that the robbers carried Wine chesters and would blow the top of his head off unless the door were opened Conductor Flynn thinks that the escape of Ra McCurl was nd d.d not knew of the nger
