CIIICAOO , July 11. A frightful explosion
occurred tonight en the steamer Tloga , ono of
the largest vessels ou the great lake. Thirty-
eight people were aboard the steamer ut the
time.
\Vlicn the work of rescuing the survivors ,
which commence.1' ] almost instantly , was well
under way only two persons could bo found
who escaped unliurt. To make tnattoru worse ,
flro broke out on the vessel and hugo volumes
of flames nnd smoke Impeded the searchers
for tbo dead and dying , The , burstingof the
Btcatner's boilers was the cause ) of the catns-
tropho. It was nt the Chicago river nt tlio
foot of Washington street that the explosion
occurred. Tids locality I * In the heart of tbo
business section of Chicago mid the explosion
brought people running Intfl the route of tlio
tall buildings from blocks away , Jlostof the
victims were Chlcugonns , stevedores who
were unloading the vessel. Only thrco of
the Tloga's crew were reported on the list.
Tlio fire proved n stubborn ono and made it
Impossible nt tbo time to verify the repoit

wns current thnt the cxnloslon wus duo to
linotliercnuso tha accidental lighting of n
largo quantity n ( combustibles In the narrow
confines of the TSoga's deep hold.
In tbo hold nuir the steamer's stem was
where the fire held sway.
Through the lursts of fire could bo seen n
great Jagged clelt in the Tioga's decks nni :

dimpled a huge frame work of timber , fan'
tustically swaying backward nud forward ,

which sent It tlicrc f rom thirty feet below.

Cnicxflo , July 11. [ Special Telegram to Tim
Bir. : , ] The Hallway News Hurcau says :
Auditor Mohair of the Interstate Commerce
Hnilwny association has added to his reputn-
tlon ns n mil road statistician by showing the
senseless waste Indulged iu by competing
railroads , especially la the passenger busi
ness.
ness.Mr.
Mr. McNntr starts with the proposition :
That the cost of operating roads is generally
paid by the public- goes without snvltig.
'Jhls being the ca-jo Mr , MoNnlr Introduces
Its corollary that the constant and successful
attempts oC the public to secure lower rates
of trunspotntion has its legitimate end in re
ducing thu quality of tha train service nnd
equipment.
This sto-ta of nTalrs is seen everywhere
on poorly patronizedroads. . Among the
so-culled strong lines , however ,
Mr. McNnir shows that thulr trains iiro run
under u systc-m of wasteful extravagance
born nlouo of competition. Under this com
petitive system the public complain of high
rntea aud nt the same time compels the law
makers to vote for their continuance by re
fusing railroads the economy of combination ,
lie reasons that rates can novcr bo higher
than they are ; that they have steadily de
creased about 05 per tent during the last
twenty years , nud now that many of the
roads nro almost on the verge of bankruptcy
they must look to n cutting down of expenses
in order to pay any dividends nt all.
As an illustration ho cites the passon-
ircr tratllc between Chicago nnd
Omaha ; said luS : "Tho four ro.uls
leading tlio passenger traffic between
Chicago and Omnhn run twenty-two trains
dally and four trains six times n week ono
way. nnd convey an nvi-rago of about two
hundred passoitgew ofnil classes ono way. "
Ho figures that ono train each way on each
road would handle the AV'bolo business nnd
pay $3rilob7tt , In train expenses. Doubling
the number of trains in order to better nccom-
inodato loc.il traftlo nnd still ? 1IWI,2IO would
be saved , a goodly share of which might bo
divided with the publie'ln the way of cheaper
fares.
Jt now costs ? 2SOO , to take a passcn ger
train between Chicago and Omaha and re
turn. The same figures und waste apply be
tween Chicago and Kansas City as
they do to St. Paul , except thnt
the cost of running the train is
about S700. Also the saino llpres
apply on the freight business , except that It
costs more to run nn average freight train
thnn a passenger train.
By combination the roads could entirely do
away with such expenses as outside ngencics
nnd miscellaneous advertising. It costs the
prominent roads in the west over 5,000,000
j curly for these purposes.
In the way of commissions , especially , mil
lions of dollars yearly could bo saved. Mr.
McXair believes the totul waste in this use
less competition throughout the United
States will reach S 200,000,000 annually , almost
all of which could bo saved by a legalized di
vision of tariff. Could such nn end be reached ,
Mr. McNulr concludes that the results
would bo :
1. Lower rates to the public.
" . Permanent mid satisfactory I'ntcs.
3. Knablo weak lines to sustain themselves.
1. Etiablo strong lines to llguro ou the
future.

, The supervising architect of the treasury
views with favor Senator Mntiderson's propo
sition to double , the appropriation fur the
construction of the pablto building at Omaha
nnd put up a structure for the future instead
of the present alone. The senator wants the
appropriation increased from $300,000 to
$ . ' ,000,000 for the building , looking to tbo
growth of Omaha during the next ten years
ns being proportionate to tbo past ducudc ,
nnd the supervising architect says
the proposition is wise. He , however -
over , believes that $1(100,000 ( will bo
suftlcleiit for tbo purpose and says that that
would put up a structure ! MO by 2ao feet on
the ground lloor , fhrco stories in height with
basement , uttlo and tower , the buUdliie to bo
of'brick with stone facings and nil completed
in n first-class manner. The supervising
architect bus urndo nn estimate of tbo space
needed now for government ofllccs at Omaha
nnd estimates the amount of space needed
ton years hence and is a strong argument in
favor of Senator Munde/rson's Qpropo-
sltion to cnlurgo the scope of the
work. Architect Windrim says : "Should
congress decide that the needs of the publlu
sef vice arc such ns to warrant the extension
of the limit of cost of the building to § 1,1100-
000 so as to provide such a building as that
specified us necessary tun years hcnco for the
business nt Omaha , then nnd then only could
the building bo designed with such objects in
view , and in the event of tbo limit of cost of
the building being extended no further ap
propriation will bo required until near the
eloso of tbo next session of congress as the
bnhmeo available of the appropriation
heretofore made under the present HinlJ.
of cost will bo sufficient to secure tbo pre
paration of the plans , detailed estimates ,

the commencement of excavation , concrete

ably from tbo basement foundation liucs to

In thohouso Into this afternoon Mr. Conger
presented the conference report on the silver
bill. Ho immediately moved the previous
question on Its adoption , but nftor a long
squabble It was decided to glvo four hours to
debate tomorrow immediately after the adop

a vote may bo reached late tomorrow
afternoon. It was thought atilrst this morn
ing that the report would not bo presented
before Tuesday , as It was feared the demo
crats would nil Ii ere to their obstructive tac
tics nud filibuster against the bill unlros
there was n republican quorum. This It was
believed could not bo brought hero before
Tuesday , It was learned Inter in the dav ,
however , that the democrats would not fili
buster , but in consideration of being allowed
time for debate would facilitate tictiou on the
icport. Mr. island , who will le.id tbo democrats -
crats in their opposition , said to your cor
respondent this evening : "It will bo n

the report will bo adopted. I expect that tlio

port. I do not expect a single ono of the free
coinage republicans to vote with us aguitist
the report. They look upon the report as the
best that can bo donoundcr the circumstances

Brooke , the commander of the department ,
served with General Bntekcldor in Hancock's
old Second army < orpa and was one of his
earnest supporters. Representative Dorsoy
also served with General Itatchfildcr along
with General Brooke , and very materially

ot tha most potent influences which were
brought to bear upon President Harrison and
the secretary of war resulting in General

of the Plnttc , in its work of building new
Fort Omaha and completing Forts NIobraru ,

IJatehelder ns chief quartermaster of the

fared well , as in most instances ono of its
friends has secured preferment.
TUB AlTOHTIOXSInXT.
There is very little doubt now thnt n rcap-
portionmcnt bill can bo passed at this session.1
At the census ofllco this afternoon it was
stntcd to your correspondent that the count
of the census would bo complete us to popula
tion by September 1 In tlio ordinary course of
work and a fortnight earlier than that time if
necessary. All the work In the ofllco Is now
subservient to the population , and n million
souls nro counted and recounted every day.
This work was begun moro thnn two weeks
since. Thus a comnlot/1 itatoment ns to the
population In all tl c states aid territories can
bo s"ent to congrcs from whbh to compile a
bill for tha rcappo ntmcnt of congress by the
latter part of Biptcmbcr If It is desired.
There has not bc < n much said on this because
it was not bellev dto bo yojsitilo to pass a
bill for the reapp intinnt of congress In time
to take effect at the approaching elections.
Then it has not been tilt now believed that
congress would bo in session utthotlmo when
the work of the census ofllco. could bo availed
ot for this purpose. From the best Informa
tion which your correspondent could obtain
by interviews with the leading repub
licans in the ' sennto today it is
reasonably safe to predict that the federal
election bill will bo taken up nnd disposed of
before adjournment nnd this opportunity will
bo afforded to consider and pitss a rcappor-
tloumcnt bill In time to permit the ( lection of
representatives nt largo in the states entitled
to an Increased representation in the lower
house of congress. As soon ns the * , bill becomes -
comes n law It will bo tbo duty of the gov
ernors of the various states to call for the
election of as many members at largo as the
reapportionmcnt gives. There are nil sorts of
speculation as to how the reapporttouinont
will affect the membership of the houso. If
the incretiso is based upon tlio increased
population" the rcnpportionment docs not
show the work of deceinlimtion of represen
tatives by the operation of fractions the in
crease will bo something like eighty. A com-
pnrntlvely largo number of representatives
cumo In on thu fractional representation , and
this ovcning-up process in the forthcoming
ratio may not make the Increase tu largo as
ono might infer from the increase of popu
lation. In nil the talk about taking up the
federal elections bill at this session it can
not be IcarnoJ that nny lefer-
cnco has bscu mndo to the
adoption of a rcapportlonmcnt bill ,
ulthough thnt question will doubtless figure
to a greater or less extent when It becomes
known that th's measure can bo adopted be
fore the November election Just a.s easily us
tlio tariff or the elections tilll. The demo
crats have been holding a prolonged duhuto
on the tariff ovcrthohcudsof the republicans
in nn endeavor to get a promise to let the
elections bill go over to tlio next session if no
obstructions are offered to other measures
which must bo passed before adjournment. It
is not Improbable that an understanding will
- -
- ;
„
now bo nsked whereby the . tainporttonment
bill is to go over Irntead , of the
elections bill. It w 'tab. Impression
of a largo majority of the republicans in the
senate that the election * bill-will betaken
up and passed before adjournment , nnd that
some way around a necessarily long debate
will bo found. There lira strong demand for
the nmcndmoiit of the vulos whereby a limit
will be Ilxcd upon dobatCi This is antag
onized by Mr. KdnmtuTs nnd a few other old
sonntors of great inllucnco. It may bo that
an understanding will bo ranched whereby a
vote Is to bo naturally taken by virtue of a
majority order at n time \vhcn it is believed

the propaganda on the day that I cabled , and
at the hour of cabling'they were still in
congress. There was no doubt whatever
that the matter would bo approved and
submitted to the holy father for his approval
on the following Sunday , the day baforo the
secret concistory , ns that is the invariable
custom , but it appears that at _ tbo last mo
ment the cardinal prefect of the propaganda
considered It wiser lor some reason or other ,
to send the matter back again to the bishops
of the province to St. Louis , before submit
ting it to tbo holy father. "
It is probable that Archbishop Kcndrlck
will call a meeting of the bishops of the prov
ince for the near future and three moro names
will bo sent on to Homo. It Is likely that the
new list will bo the same lusitlrat sent on before.
It is certain that Vicar general Brady was
marked diguisslmus on the list which was
sent a couple of months ago nnd the vicar
general of the Dubuque diocese dlgnler. Ono
of these , therefore , will In all likelihood bo
the next bishop of Oinnlia.

it was not within his'jurisdiction to examine
into the Justlco of ple s for warrants. It
would bo a reopening of tbo cose , widen was

ing the president to invlto the governments
of tlio Littln union countries , mid oC
such other nations ns ho may deem

and securing a fixity of relative vatno be
tween tlioso metiils. The conference Is to beheld
held nt such uluco ns inuy bo agreed upon by
the executives of the governments Joining In
it ; and when in tlio Judgment of the
president of the United States , n suftlcleiit
number of nations shall huvo entered Into
such nn international arrangement , ho sluill
declare the ratio so ilxcd to bo the existing
ratio In the United States. The president is
to appoint nut less than three nor nioro than
live commissioners to attend such conference
on tlio part of the United States. The joint
resolution was referred to the flnunco com
mittee.
Mr. AVIlson of Iowa offered n resolution ,
which was referred to the committee on for
eign relations , calling on the secretary of
state for information on the subject of nn
American citizen , Thomas T. Collins , being
deprived of his rights , liliertv and property
at Manila , in tlio I'hllllplnc Islands , and as to
What action has been taken In regard lo the
matter by the state department.
The scnnto proceeded to the consid
eration of the senate bill to establish
n United States land court , and to provide for
the settlement of private lund claims In Now
Mexico , Wyoming , Arizona , Utah , Nevada
and Colorado , such c.aiuiH.boing by virtue of
Spanish or Mexican rights. The bill was
discussed until 2 o'clock , when the shipping
bills worn taken up ns unfinished business.
Mr. Gibson addressed tlio senate.
Ho nrgucd against the proposed subsidies
'or shins , but was in favor of moderate postal
subsidies. Ho spoke of the Importance of
establishing steamship lines to trade with
the Congo country , the building of a govern-
ncnt dry dock at Now Orleans , und the
reforming of the tariff by admit
ting commodities from the South Ameri
can states nt a lower rate of duties ,
tie appealed to the chairman of the commit-
; eo on commerce , Mr. Vrye , to relax the
rigidity of his policy and allow ships to bo
mrcliascil abroad and sailed under the - American
ican Hag ; to take oft ttio tarill duties from
materials , supplies mid outlits that go into
the construction and sailing of ships mid to
accept as a compromise the policy of giving
postal subsidies to American built vessels ,
i'hough ho had helped to frame the bill to
place the American merchant marine on nt
equality with tlmtlof other nations , he would
not commence with taxing the pco-
plo for the payment of subsidies ,
but would take hold rf the shlppiug
laws of the United States and repeal them.
It was simply impossible under tlio existing
tariff and navigation laws to build up the
foreign carrying trade of the United Stales.
Mr. Vest offered as a substitute for the bill
ns to the American merchant marino a pro
vision for Jreo ships to bo used only in the
foreign currying trade , not in tlio coastwise
or lake trnde.
The bills went over without action after nn

arrangement to vote upon them tomorrow in

THE Bii.l : : H. Q. Dun's ' AVcokly Review of
Trnde says : In splto of the usual midsummer
dullness , aggravated this year by exception
ally hot weather , the volume of business con
tinues larger for the season than In any previ
ous year , und In all quarters high iiojies
are stimulated by the excellent crop reports.
The Bank of England lost f..lM.lMl in gold
last week , the bank of Germany f.-UHi,000 ,
and tho.Himlcof Franco Jl.'J 15,000 ; in all ,
S MlVWO 1" ll week , nnd it has been
decided to call over $3,000,000 , In gold
from this country , the first shipment
being today. With scanty reserves
hereon which to begin the fall movement ,
and money tight nt Iloston , tictlvo at Phila
delphia and In sharp demand nt Chicago at 0
per cent on call , the prospect is less clear
than it has been , though rates hero are com
paratively steady ,
From many northwestern cities special
reports show n distinct improvement In
trade because of-tho crop prospects , which
Sr. Paul calls the licit for years. Yet the
prices of wbent liavo advanced 1 ' cents on
sales of 1.1,000,000 bushels , of corn 1 % cents
on sales of 17,000,000 , and oats J , a cent ,
whllo cotton is unchanged with moderate
dealings , Hogs and lard nre higher
with potatoes nnd eggs , but oil Is 2
cents lower , and the absence of buyers causes
a disappointment in coffee , though prices nro
held. A slow consumption of sugar is also
noticed. But tlio general average of prices
has advanced fully 1 per cent.
The moro important branches of manu
facture show hesitation. Wool receipts nre
largo at Hasten , but manufacturers do
not buy freely. At Philadelphia dullness
reigns and western markets arc weaker ,
though still too high for the views of most
manufacturers. No chance Is seen for im
provement in prices of goods and the heavy
imports are expected to keep prices down for
the rest of the year. In the iron business the
buoyancy anticipated nt Philadel
phia docs not appear there and
hero the pressure to realize keeps
the market weak. 1'lttsburg notes no loss in
price nut slower improvement. u.uo icatuer
industries nro in better shape.
Coal is dull and weak , the recent advunco
being principally on paper and the half year's
output being within 1,000 tons of the output
lust year. Copper , tin nnd lend continue
strong. Keports from all quarters
nro hopeful. A midsummer dullness
prevailed , increased by momentary strin
gency , nnd at Philadelphia aud.Pittsburg ' by
the fact that higher wages have b'eon con
ceded to iron workers , though higher prices
for products do not scum obtainable.
Chicago reports if larger movement thnn
last year in .all grains and moats ,
In wool and in dry goods , with
easy aud prompt collections ,
a very good trndo in clothing anil better thnn
last year In boots mid shoes. St. Louis finds
trndo above tlio average , the extreme hot
weather having passed , hut at Kansas City
trade is light nail collections are poor because
of the drouth. Milwaukee has a heavy local
trade , Omaha n largo trade nnd
bright prospects , and Minneapolis a stronger
nmrket for Hour , while the lumber conven
tion has advanced prices of low grade lumber
? 1 per 1,000 feet.
At Detroit travelers report good fall orders
and at Cleveland all trades nro bettor than a
year ago. The glass works nro closed at
Plttsbun ? , but stocks are moving fairly and a
scarcity of miners is felt iu the coal business
there.
Tlio tariff of railroads Is still very lnrgofor
the last week of Juno about 8 per cent , and
for the month about 11 per cent above last
year's ' , while the few reports for July show
still larger gains. Hecclvershlps for the half

Tlio Tammany boomlet , sired by the con

was completely exploded.
The most exciting prlmnry light ever wit
nessed in Nebraska wus held in this county
and city yesterday and resulted In a complete
and sweeping victory for the straight repub
lican null-prohibition ticket , headed
by Dr , S. D. Aleiver for gover
nor , over the mugwump aggregation
led by ex-Mayor Broatcb , chief of Omnlm's
oath bound political club The Solid Twenty-

It was a warm fight from tlio start. limit ch

part in the domination of municipal affairs.

Dr. Mercer had the support of straight re
publicans vim were opposed lo the secret
conspiring methods employed by thu Bro.itclf-
Ites , and his victory was moro complete anil
sweeping than tlio most sanguine supporter
of honest republicanism hardly dared hope.
The polls opened promptly at 1o'clock in

the officials were kept on the Jump receiving
the votes. Kxcitoincnt ran so high in some.
of the wards that violence was narrowly
averted.Vlientliopollsopened in the Sev

this unpleasant incident the voting passed off
quietly , with the Mercer ticket in popular
favor.
There were lively times In every ward
The heavy heelers of the ex-mayor ,
33d Cone , John Case mid Tom McUrnno hnd
worked like Trojans iu the Sixth ward until
they saw theirs was ii hopeless light , when

Broatch and John Claiko hud spent largo

with a vengeance. Councilman McLcaria
voted the forty men who work In bis

them to the Fifth ward to vote them , but was
beaten in his attempted corruption or the bal
lot. In the First \vnrdtuc Uroupliitcs offered
over 11M democratic ) votes , but they were all
challenged nnd rejected.
Broatch gave his personal attention to the
