THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 12, 1896. PARTICULARS OF PILES DEATH, Washington Police Work- ing on a Theory of Murder. HE HAD BEEN ON A LARK Delivered a Free Silver Speech While Going to a Barbecue. WAS MISSING FOR FIVE DAYS A Peculiar Tin Box Addressed to a Dead Man Found in the S:cre- tary’s Room. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 11.—Work was suspended at the headquarters of the National Silver party to-day. The em- ployesof the Natlonal committee were saddened beyond measure when they read in this morning’s paper an account of the murder or suicide of A. H. Pyle of San Francisco, secretary of the committe, a re- port of which was telegraphad exclusively to TEE CarL. The body of the unfortunate man was not identified until late last night, consequently his friends knew nothing of his death until this morning. George P. Keeney wasin New York and Hon. Charles Lane of California, chair- man of the committee, had not yet ar- rived. Mr. Pyle's successor will not be ap- pointed until the chairman arrives, Sena- tor Stewart was especilly saddened when he learned of his death. He knew him well and his father before him. The police were working to-day to try and clear up the mystery of Pyle's death. The Coroner held an autopsy. All indi- cations are that the body was in the water a much longer time than was at first sup- posed. Itis the belief that there may nave been foul play. Mr. Pyle was very much under the influence of liquor on Tuesday morning. He said he was going out to call on Benators Jones and Faulkner. Because of his condition friends urged him not to go out, and about noon he started for Falls Church, where a barbecue was being held. Mr. Pyle continued to drink heavily and was in jovial spirits. While in the car en route to Falls Church lie arose and delivered a free-silver speech, much to the amusement of his friends. He returned to the city in the evening with Mr. Carruthers of the Silver Knight and James D, Finch, stenographer. They left him at the Sixth-street station, and that was the last seen of him alive. ‘When Mr. Pyle failed to show up at the Silver headquarters on Wednesday but little was thought of it. As days passed, however, J. M. Devine and his asso- ciates at the office grew apprehensive, and their fears were realized when they read the accounts of the finding of the body. G. B. Keeney was communicated with as to what disposition should be made of it. He replied that the police should take charge of the effects 1n Pyle's room and to await further instructions. Among other things & tin box was found in Pyle’s apartments. A card on it said tosend the box unopensd to William Q. Judge. The card bore date of April 4, 1885. Mr. Judge was a leader of the Theo- sophical Society in America and dled about the time the box was sealed. Itis thought Pyle was a theoscphist,though he had notallied himself with the society in this city. It was nearly 1o‘clock this afternoon when Dr. Glasebrook completed his work over the body. After a brief consultation the announcement was made that an in- quest would be held over the remains at 11 o'clock to-morrow morning at the morgue. ‘“‘The Ooroner has requested me to say nothing about the results of my in- vestigations until the inquest convenes to- morrow,’’ said Dr. Glasebrook. “I will of course testify before the Coroner’s jury.” The Deputy Coroner refused to say whether or net he found any indications of foul play about the remains. The determina- tion to hold an inquest meets with the hearty approval of the friends of the dead man. —_— THE MYSTER10US BOX. ' Probably Contains Papers Relating to Theosophical Matters. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 11.—A visit was paid to the theosophical headquatters at 84 Madison street, for information con- cerning a box found in the room occupied by A. H. Pyle of 8an Francisco, secretary of the National Committee of the Bilver party, before his death by drowning in the Potomac River some time last week. Burcham Harding, lecturer of the Theo- sophical Society and representing E. T. Hargrove, president, had this to say: “1 bave no doubt that the box you speak of contains the usual private papers which are issued by oursociety to its mem- pers, as Mr. Pyle was one of our mem- bers. “It 1s evident to my mind that he in- tended the box to be delivered to the president of the society, for at the time the direction was written Mr. Judge was our president. Mr. Pyle evidently ne- glected to change the address after the election of Mr. §nrgrove recently. “I wrote a letter this evening to the authorities at Washington, asking them to send the box here. I incorporated in my letter the request that if this could ggt b'e done they would at least hold the x." BARON FAVA'S INQUIRY. The Italian Embassador Asks for Official Information Regarding the Recent Lynching in Louisiana. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 1L.—Baron Fava, the Italian Embassador, who is summering at Bar Harbor, has tele- graphed the State Department, in accord- ance with cabled instructions from - his Government, asking for official informa- tion regarding the lynching of three al- leged Italian sabjects in Louisiana as re- ported in the newspapers. The State De- partment has promptly called on the Gov- ernor of Louisiana for a full report of the oceurrence, in order that a suitable reply tan be made to the Embassador. If it can be found that that the Italians were nat- uralized American citizens the inguiry will stop, as the Italian Government can no longer take any interest in the affair, but if, #s in cases of similar lynthings of Ital- tans in Louisiana and Colorado, the men re shown to be aliens to the United States, an indemnity will- undoubtedly be demanded and Congress asked to appro- priate for that purpose, as it did in former 'nstances. Until the Governor of Louisi- ana makes his report no furth er action by Italy can be expected. 2% A ks 5 JUMPS A FIFTY-FOOT TRESTLE. Frightful Accident to a Party of Section Men While Riding a Handear on a Kentucky Railroad. WINCHESTER, K¥., Aug. 11.—A fright- ful accident occurred near hero to-day, by which two men were instantly killed, another hurt so badly that he died a few hours later and two others so severely in- jured that small hope of their recovery isentertained. The accident happened on the Lexington and Eastern railroad. Early this morning a handecar left here in charge of Foreman J. Quinlan. Accompanying him were four section hands. Everything went i along smoothly until Walker creek trestle was reached. At this point there is a slight down grade, and the car went ahead with great velocity. Quinlan remon- strated with the men who were running the car and tried to get them to check the speed. His remonstrance, however, was too late, and just as the car reached the trestle the speed was so great that it jumped the track and dropped on the rocks, fifty feet below. Edward Sparks and Marion Chattman were instantly killed. Jobhn Chattman was terribly mangled and lived but a few hours. Foreman Quinlan and his son received severe irjuries, and it is very doubtful 1f they will recover. News of the accident reached town a few hours after it occurred, and aid was dispatched to the scene as quickly as possible. T SR Co-Operative Tailor Shops Opem. AW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 11.—8Bixty co- or@;ative shops were opened this morn- ing by the Brotherhood of Tailors, eme pleging 800 men. WAS BRVAN RETAINED? An Omaha Paper Insists That He Was Employed by Silver Kings. The Income From His Law Practice and Newspaper Work Would Not Support Him. OMAHA, NxB, Aug. 11.—The Bee will to-morrow print an editorial entitled, ““Was Bryan Retained?’ which concludes as follows: “The inevitable logic of the peculiar combination of circumstances under which Mr. Bryan bas for two years been em- ployed exclusively as an advance agent of the silver kings is that he has been re- tained and remunerated for his services. Everybody hereabouts knows that Mr. Bryan has had no known income except from his own earnings. His law practice has always been insignificant. His edi- torship of an Omaha paper was nominal. He performed no work for the paper be- yond a few casual contributions, and the paper was not in a position to pay a salary to any one who did not earn it. “Without visible means of support and no capital to draw from, how was it pos- jble for Mr. Bryan to travel tens of thou- s#nds of miles from one end of the coun- try to the other on his speech-making tours, and to spend weeks at Washington lobbying for the silver interests without a retainer? With what did he buy several thousand dollars’ worth of stock in the Omaba World-Herald, if not with the pro- ceeds of his free silver agitation? Nobody pretends that Mr. Bryan would have been committing a crime if he did accept a re- tainer from the bonanza syndicate or bimetallic league, which has notoriously retained other gifted orators and states- men. As a lawyer Mr. Bryan has a right to take all the retainers he can persuade the people to pay him. The only point of public concern is whether or not the silver candidate for the Presidency of the United States has always been an unselfish and unbought champion of legalized reputa- tion.” N ARMED ITALIAN STRIKERS. Four Hundred Men Organize to Drive Out Workers in Pennsylvania Limestone Quarries. NEWCASTLE, Pa., Aug. 1..—The su- perintendent of the Carbon limestone quarries notified Sheriff Becker this morn- ing that 350 armed Italians were march- ing toward Newcastle from the scene of the strike at Carbon and Hilltown. There were about 400 in line armed with guns, revolvers, picks ana clubs, ana the leader, Benjamin Allerhouse, said it was their intention to march to Newcastle and compel the men employed in the Sheep- hill quarries to quit work. The gang marched to Bessemer, where they stopped a force who were operating a steamshovel. It was decided to postpone the raid on the Newcastle quarries until to-morrow. The strikers held a mass-meeting this afternoon to comrleta the orgamization for the raid. Sheriff Becker will organize a force to send outin the morning in case of further trouble. = FATAL RAILWAYX COLLISION. Three Lives Lost by the Carelessness of a Train-Dispatcher. COLUMBUS, Omro, Aug. 11.—A fatal collision took place this morning at the Sandusky street crossing between the regular passenger train .on the Toledo and Onio Central Railway due here at 9:30 o'clock and a yard engine. The two engines met head on and were badly wrecked. The baggage and mail cars were thrown down a steep bank and badly smashed. Charles Vance, the engineer of the yard engine, was crushed to death. Charles Cullison, engineer of the passenger train, and his fireman, William St. Clair, were fatally injured. None of the passengers were injured. To-day Train-dispatcher Pond and Op- erator Friesner of the railroad were ar- rested and charged with manslaughter. There is no doubt that a mistake was made at the train-dispatcher’s office, and that one of the men there is responsible tor the fatal collision. STl NORTHERN PACIFIC RATES. The Road Disregards the Iransconti- néntal Agreement. CHICAGO, Inn, Aug. 11.—Chairman Caldwcll has made a ruling requiring tte Northern Pacitic to rescind the action it bas taken in relation to the basisof rates from all points south of Portland, Or., up to Ashland, inclusive, to Portland and the Missouri River and beyond via Portland. Under this ruling the Nojthern Pacific is practically in contempt of the transconti- nental agreement, to which it is a party. The Northern Pacific some time ago asked for authority to meet Southern Pa- cific rates. The chairman asked for de- tails, which the Northern Pacific neglected to give, and at the end of five days put the rates in effect. This action was ob- jected to by Chairman Caldwell, he hold- ing that the Southern Pacific rates are agreed rates and not to bs considered as competitive rates. Meantime the North- ern Pacific continues to use the ne wrates, regardlese of the chairman’s ruling. T0 FORTIFY THE PACIFIC COAST, General Miles Submits His Plans to Secretary Lamont. BIG GUNS ARE COMING. San Francisco One of the First Points That Will Receive Attention. FIVE ARTILLERY STATIONS. San Diego, Mouth of the Columbia and Puget Sound Also to Be Protected. WABHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 1L—Ma- jor-General Miles has recommended to Secretary Lamont a more comprehensive plan in regard to the fortifications of the Pacific Coast and the distribution of artil- lery troops than was originally believed. General Miles said to Tux CALL corre- spondent to-day that one of the first ports to receive the attention of the war authori- ties would be San Francisco. It is the in- tention to locate five artillery stations around that city—Point Lobos and Lime Point (on both sides of the Golden Gate), Alcatraz Island, Fort Canby and Black Point. General Miles said that guns were being received at each of those points which would necessitate the presence of batteries to take care of them. He expects that the stations at these places will each be garrisoned by several batteries of artillery. It is plainly evident and, in fact, Gen- eral Miles admitted that there will have to be an increase of the artillery forces stationed on the Pacific Coast. At present there is only one regiment, the batteries of which are distributed along the coast at the Presidio, Alcatraz Island, Fort Canby and Fort Mason. Battery G of this regi- ment is stationed at Fort Monroe, on the Atlantic Coast. In addition to the places mentioned around Ban Francisco General Miles has called the attention of the department to the need of artillery stationsand garrisons | at San Diego, the mouth of the Columbia River and Puget Sound. At San Diego there 1s a post, which is garrisoned by one company of infantry. Guns are being placed in position for the defense of that city, and General Miles desires the depart- ment to station an artillery force there. | Fort Canby, at the mouth of the Columbia River, has too small an artillery force, there being but two batteries of the Fifth at that point, and General Miles believes that an increase will shortly be impera- tive. Fort Mason is also a point where additional batteries shonld be stationed. Puget Sound is without a battery of ar- ‘tillery, notwithstanding the immensity of the industries located and which are being established along that waterway. General Miles recommends the station- ing of a large artillery force at points along the sound where batteries are being located, and in order to carry out his recommendation it will be necessary to erect quarters at some of the points for the accommodation of troops, conse- quently the department will have to spend & considerable sum in preparing for their reception should the Secretary decide to adopt the suggestions. It is expected that the Secretary will take up the question of redistribution of the artillery force in the fall. In themean time gossips at the War Department are speculating as to the force of artillery which will be transferred to the Pacific slope. One battery of the Third Artillery, stationed in Texas, may be sent to the West, as there is no intention on the part of the authorities at the present time to fortify the Gulf coast. Ifthis pattery goes the probabilities are that the entire regi- ment will be quartered on the slope. gt THE TREASURY SITUATION. Disbursements So Far During the Month Double Receipts—Gold Reserve Again Dwindling. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 11.—With one-third of August passed the Treasury situation does not show that improvement that was reasonably hoped for. The re- ceipts foot up $9,360,000 and the expendi- tures $19,655,000, leaving a deficit so far of $10,295,000. It is probable that this deficit will be lessened somewhat before the end of August. The gold reserve at the close of business to-day stood at $107,104,281, a decrease since August 4, when the reserve reached its recent maximum of $3,670,000. Then the reserve stood at 110,782,000, built up from $89,669,000 on July 23, its lowest re. cent point, by National banks contributing $26,300,000. Since July 23 the legal tender notes held by the Treasury, which were naid out for the gold paid in and which are redeem- able in gold on presentation, have de- creased from $87,890,000 to $69,250,000. Since July 1 the Treasury has redeemed in gold $21,000,000 of legal tender notes presented for redemption. BERING 8 Disbandment MATTERS. of Uncle Bam’s Patrol Fleet Ordered. WASHINGTON, D. 0., Aug. 11.—Orders have been given by the Treasury Depart- ment directing the disbandment of the Bering Sea patrol fleet on or about the 15th instant. All of the vessels, with the pos- sible exception of the revenue cutter Wal- cott will return south at that time.The Wal- cott will leave Bering Sea for the Pacific Slope about November 1, her presence in the North Pacific waters being destrea to prevent any attempts at pelagic sealing up to the date of her departure. That the cutters forming the patrol . have been dcing excellent work is evinced by the fact that they have covered about 29,000 miles up to the present time, and this fignre will reach 50,000 before their re- turn. A Jarge number of vessels have been overhauled and boarded, and upon being found to be without evidence of illegal sealing have been allowed to con- tinue their voyage. Others have' been warned against committing the offense. One vessel has been seized for pelagic seal- ing. Captain Hooper, commanding the fleet, who has made his headquarcers at Unnlusn, has reported to the department that seals are plentiful this season north of Pribyloff Islands. For the purpose of securing furiher knowledge of the habits of the seal, and such other facts as may be of interest in thecare and preservation of the animal - Deotte of the Revenme Cutter Service to duty on St. Paul's Island. He will have general supervision of the Government's interests tlere, The assignment was made on Deotte’s application, and ‘he authori- ties were glad to grant it, as they are.anx- ious to obtain all data possible which bears upon the sealing question. Lieutenant Deotte will remain on St. Paul's Island during the entire winter, and upon the re- turn of the fleet next spring will rejoin his ship. His information will be used in con- junction with that of the expert commis- sion appointed by President_Cleveland in an effort to convince Great Britain of the views entertained by this Government in the matter of seal protection. It is stated at the State Department that no reports have reached it in regard to the movement Russia is said to have inaugu- rated looking to the protectign of seals by nternational agreement. ‘The United States has not been approached by the Russian Government on the subject. It is possible that the matter may have been brought to the attention of Minister Breckinridge, the diplomatic representa- tive of the United States in St. Petersburg, but if this is so that official has seen fit to send in his report by mail instead of by cable. It can be said that the United States would be willing to enter into any agreement with foreign Governments looking to the protection of the seal, pro- vided it contained reasonable guarantees the department has assigned Licutenant | that it would be carried out and that American interests as well as those of for- eign nations would be protected. S Pacific Coast Patents. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 11.—Pacific Coast patents have been issued as follows: Daniel Best, San Leandro, Cal., carbure- ter; Joseph J. Hall, Los Angeles, Cal., window; T. J, Murray, Grub Gulch, miners’ implement; Frank H. Pfluger, Portland, tank; Clement J. Schuster, San | Francisco, steam beer faucet; Charles A. Smith, Sau Francisco, airship; T. W. Thierkoff, Redding, Ca force pump; Thomas Willing, Astoria, Or., centrifugal cream separator and purifier. — SEVERAL BANK FMILURES Peculiar Condition of the Money Market Causes Suspen- sions. Depositors Will Be Paid in Full When Securities Can Be Real- ized On. NEW YORK, N, Y., Aug. 11.—The Mur- ray Hill Bank, doing business on Third avenue, one of the oldest State banks in the city, has closed its doors. A notice states that the bank was closed pending an examination of its affairs. The bank has deposits of $1,250,000, which it is be- lieved will be paid in full. It is under- stood that the bank was compelled to sus- pend because it had to take a good deal of real estate for loans. OSTON, Mass., Aug. 11.—W. H. Tre worky, wholesale dealer, has made an assignment for the benefit of his creditors. No statement of assets and liabilities has yet been prepared, but it is understood that the liabilities are in the neighborhood of $200,000. DULUTH, Mixx.,, Aug. 11.—The Se- curity Bank of Duluth, one of the largest banks in the State, closed its doors this morning. A notice was posted on the door, saying: ‘‘Heavy and unlooked for withdrawals of deposits, and the impossi- bility of . making speedy collections com- pelled us to close our doors.”’ The iast statement of the bank deposits on July 22 was $329,324. The officials sa; that lhef expect to pay depositors in full. The failure caused considerable excite- ment, and other failures are feared. CHICAGO, ILL., Aug. 11.—North & Tay- lor, private bankers, who did business at 959 West Madison street, suspended to- aay. The banks depositors are working men and the total amount of their sav- 1ngs is placed at $100,000. Thefirm had a capital of $50,000. harles A. North and Luis D. Taylor, the partners, have been in business for several years. They were compelled to discontinue because of the extraordinary condition of the money market and in- ability to realize on securities. Depositors are promised full payment. The Equitable Trust Company was appointed receiver. TO REPUSE AT LY Kate Field's Remains Will Not Be Brought to This Country. Miss Lillian Whitiog’s Tribute to the M:mory of Her Beloved Companion. BOSTON, Mass., Aug. 11.—Miss Lillian Whiting, an intimate friend of the late Kate Field, returned last week from a European trip and to-day made public the following letter regarding a report that she had sent for Miss Field’s body to be exhumed and forwarded to her here in Boston: In the first overwhelming sorrow for the loss of the earthly presence of my most beloved friend when the tidings reached me in Paris and made me feel that “the world’s great space held nothing but a vacant place”; in this first shadow of a great grief, I wrote instantly to Miss Fiela's cousin and dearest relative, George Riddle, and also to Consul-General Mills at Honolulu expressing my earnest wish that the casket containing her mortal form should be brought to Mount Auburn and her grave be made beside her parents and other relatives buried there, This was merely an earnest wish, not a command, which Ihad no right to give; but when I came to know of that wonderful outpouring of love and devotion to Kate Field by the people of Howaii then I came to fully concur with Mr. Riddle's decision that the casket should receive final burial in the lot of one of Miss Field's nearest friends in Honolulu, Mrs, Wilder, who wrote begging that this might be granted. And so the cousin Who was dearest to her and other of her nearer friends have fully accepted this ar- rangement. Ihave united with Mr. Riddle in letters to the 8an Francisco papers, begging that their action cease, gratefully as their interest is ap- preciated. To her grave I am soon to make my pilgrimage, to meet the friends whose tender devotion to her has so comforted those who knew and loved her here; to study the scenes whose beauty delighted her eye and often en- gaged herpen. I have returned from Europe in midsummer in order to the more quickly set off on this journey—one that though sacred should not be wholly sad. Kate Field's Tichly versatile genius transplanted to more favorable conditions will find its perfect flow- ering in the life beyond and her mortal form willlie undisturbed under that flower-laden tomb in Honolulu.

MEXICO CITY, Mex., Aug. 1L.—A sen- sational dispatch from Colima says it is reported there that an English warship has seized Clarion Island as a coaling sta- tion. The island forms part of the Revilla Gigedo group, 300 miles west of the Mexi- can Pacific Coast. Mexico’s ownership of the island has not been hitherto disputed , and the Government here believes there is no truth in the rumor, REPUBLICANS IN LINE N KANSAS Indorsed the St. Louis Plat- form and the Nom- inees. FREE COINAGE OPPOSED. The State Convention Conducted on the Plan of a Camp- Meeting. SINGING AND SPEECH-MAKING. Most of the Local Candidates Were Quickly Nominated by Ac- clamation, TOPEKA, Eaxs., Aug. 11.—The Repub- lican State Convention opened here to-day in Methodist camp-meeting style, 30,000 delegates and visitors uniting in singing the new version of the popular hymn, “Throw Out the Life Line,” led by Rev. John A. Bright of Topeka. Sheldnn was elected chairman, which foreshadows the renomination of Governor Morrill on the first ballot. ‘While the convention was zalled to order at 4 o’clock, it was 6 before it proceeded to business, the committee not being ready to report until then. The intervening time was occupied with speech-making, among those who addressed the conven- tion being ex-Senator Ingalls. The reso- lutions submitted and adopted indorsed McKirnley and Hobart and the National platform and disposed of the money ques- tion in the following additional clause: *‘Republicans of Kansas believe sound money. and paper in the largest measure consis- tent with the maintenance of the equal debt paying and purchasing power of all our money. “We are opposed to the fres and unlim- ited coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 by this country alone, because it means silver monometallism, a debased currency and the destruction of our National credit.”” The nomination of a candidate for Chief Justice was next in order and four names were presented to the convention. The first ballot resulted as follows: Dave Mar- tin_(the incumbent) 288, Nelson Case 138, C. T. Graves 140%, T. F. Garver 297}5. A recess was then taken until 9 o’clock. ‘When the convention reassemblea Gar- ver was nominated. All of the opvosing candidates to Gov- ernor E. N. Morrill withdrew from the contest and he was nominated by acclama- tion. E. H. Richter of Council Grove was nominated for Lieutenant-Goyernor. The ticket was completed by renominating by acclamation W. C. Edwards for Secretary of Btate, F, B. Dawes for Attorney-Gen- erul, Otis Latherton for Treasurer, Ed- mund Stanlev for State Superintendent, Geo1ge C. Cole for State Auditor and R W. Blue for Congressman-at-large. A State Central Committee was elected and the convention adjourned. FIis Pes McKINLEY’'S POPULARITY GROWS: in Prominent Chicagoans Interested in the Cause of Protection. CHICAGO, Irn., Aug. 11.—Chairman Hanna spent one part of to-day at the Auditorium Hotel and in his office at headquarters around the corner in varied conference and discussion with politicians. Tue other part of the day was passed in the private offices of Chicago’s big Repub- lican manufacturers, merchants and other large employers of voters, notably among the latter being P. D. Armour. Mr. Ar- mour has consented, contrary to his usual non-partisan attitude, to become an active worker for the Republican ticket, as well as a liberal subscriber to the eampaign fund. Mr. Hanna has met with success in get- ting the heads of several large business houses to spread the gold standard doc- trine, not only among their employes, but to bring influence to work among the peo- ple they have dealings with outside of Chicago. Colonel W. C. Haskell of Cleveland ar- rived to-day and assumed his position of sergeant-at-arms of the National Commit- tee. He was accompanied by Major W. C. F. Dick of Akron, Ohio, who is Mr. Hanna's private secretary at headquarters. New rooms were secured for the chair- man's personal use to-day by the vacation of tenants, but there is general complaint of insufficient room for some of the de- partments. Senator Brown of Utah was one of the callers at headquarters from outside of Chicago. He said: “Some Republicang in Utah are off on the silver question, but I think they will vote for McKinley for bis protection principles. The wool-grow- ers are for protection to a8 man and most of the Mormons have been won over on the tariff {ssue.’”” The Railway Age reports letters from Chiet Arthur of the Engineers’ Brother- hood and Grand Chief R. E. Ciark of the Order of Railway Conductors, stating they were personally working for the gold standard ticket. Ex-Congressman Roswell G. Horr, who is stumping Nebraska as a National Com- mittee speaker, reports that he found the situation there far different from what it had been reported in the East and that the State was going to go for McKinley. Chairman Roberts of the State Com- mittee of Kentucky called to tell the cam- paign leaders that the outlook for Repub- lican success in Kentucky is excellent and improving. Oaptain Tanner, Republican nominee for Governor of Illinois, left to-night un- der medical orders for Bouth Haven, Mich., for an indefinite period. A closer examina- tion of his injuries has revealed three broken ribs as a result of the recent runa- way accident, in which he was thrown from his carriage. PRESIDENT HAKRISON IN LINE. Will Speak at a Republican Meeting in New York, NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 11.—Ex-Pres- ident Harrison has decided to soon take the stump in behali of sound money. This determination he announced in a letter to Genegal Powell Clayton, which the latter received to-day. The letter is dated August 10, and in it ex-President Harrison states that he will make a speech in this city at any time during the_month of August that the Republican National Committee may select.

SCENES OF WILD DISMAY Faces Are Seen at Nearly Every Window During the Awful Conflagration. BODIES LIE ON FIRE ESCAPES. Frantic Cries for Help Are Forever Smothered by the Heat and Smoke. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 11.—There was a fatal fire this afternoon in the build- ings at 465, 467 and 469 Greenwich street, occupied by the A. U. Warren Electric Repair Works and a number of smaller firms. In the excitement attending the outbreak it was at first estimated that at Jeast thirty lives were lost. Some of those reported lost were afterward accounted for. will not be known until the ruins are searched. It is believed that the death list will prove to be fifteen or seventeen. ‘While the firemen were fighting the flames the forms of two of the victims could be plainly seen on the fire escapes. Five men and boys were injured while es- caping from the burning building. They were taken to the Hudson-street Hospital, mangled and burned. ‘What caused the fire is not known, but it is believed to have been started by an explosion. Itis known that an explosion occurred a few minutes before, and the fire spread like a flash, beginning ai No. 465 and cutting off the escape of many. The firemen who first reached the scene of the conflagration say they saw a number of men at the windows appealing for help, but before any attempt at rescue could be made they fell back, exhausted by the heat and smoke, and all are supposed to have perished from the flames. Altogether there were about thirty-two men employed by the Warren Company. There were twelve on the sixth or top floor, eleven on the fifth, four on the fourth and a couple in the office on the ground floor. The list of killed and injured cannot be compiled at this time. It will be several hours before the ruins are cooled suffi- ciently to allow the firemen to enter. From stories told by those who claimed to have been near when the first alarm was given faces were seen at nearly every window. That at least four are dead in the ruins there can be no doubt, for their charred bodies lie exposed to view on the fire escapes of the third and fifth stories. Two others, one a girl, were seen to fall back in the flames overcome by the smoke before the fire touched them, The accurate number of victims | ! | pensary constables around at the State's The injured, as far as known at this writing, are: Felix Haas, slightly mjured.

C., says: At the campaign meeting here yesterday a per- sonal encounter between Governor John Geary Evans and John F. Duncan, candi- date for the United States Senate, was only prevented by Sheriff Long of this county stepping between them. Duncan was making an attack on Evans’ record, asserting that he got $15,000in a deal by which the State bonds were re- funded, and also trying to implicate him in the receiving of rebates on the whisky purchased for the dispensarv. Evans re- marked to a bystander that Duncan could not tell the truth. Duncan sprang toward him and had got within striking distance ‘when the Sheriff shoved kim back, Dun- can then charged Evans with taking dis- nse to protect his cowardly bones. e also declared that Evans refused to sign a statement denying that he told Li%uqr Commissioner Nixon that Tillman éut lined his pockets with dispensary re- ates. —_—— AFFAIRS IN CHRETE. 4 Provisional Revolutionary Govern- ment Has Reen Established.
