The fire originated at the bottom of the
elevator shaft r.nd swept upward with tro-
x mentions swUtncss. About sixty-five per
sons were at work in the upper stories , but
nil escaped unhurt , The water supply
seemed at first Inadequate and the building
was soon ruined. After the Interior had
been partially burned out II became ap
parent the front and rear walls were in
danger of falling , but Klro Chief Klllot
permitted his men to advance toward It ,
both from front and rear. Suddenly the
front walls sagged forward , and the great
mass of hot bricks , timber and Iron crashed
downward. Almost at the same Instant
the roar wall crumbled and fell to Hits alley
at the rear. Above the tumult of the
panlc-strlcVcen crowd rose the shrieks 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
seconds of thrilling experience. Their com-
ra/lgs worked to rescue the dying nnd the
remains of the- dead nnd all were recovered.
Their limp and crushed remains were In
EOIIIO cases almost unrecognizable , Chief
Elliot Is being roundly scored for endaiiRer-
InK the lives of his men. An Investigation
will doubtless follow.
The. dead body of Fireman Julian Cum-
nilngs has been recovered from the ruins.
The features were almost unrecognizable.
The broken hat of Martin Dell , a missing
ilreman , was found near the Woodward ave
nue front , but his body Is not yet In sight.
Chief Elliott of the flro department Is
much criticised for ordering his men Into the
building nt the front entrance when he well
know the walls were unsafe. Elliott said
this afternoon that they were sent where
ilutyas required and could not have been
expected tc do otherwise.

Several Japanese war ships are patrolling

Burcn , agent for the Pacific Mall Steam
ship company at Hong Kong , was one ot the
passengers on the steamer Gaelic. Mr. Van
Buren says that it is Impossible to get re
liable news of the- war at any place In the
Orient , All news received with Hong Kong
advices come by way of Shanghai , and as the
government controls the wire , all informa
tion concerning the engagements between the
two contending forces is garbled to suit the
Chinese authorities. The news obtainable
at Yokohama is no more satisfactory aa it
Is modified or exaggerated to suit the no
tions of the Japanese authorities. "I am
creditably informed , " ho said , "that the
correspondents who are following the Japan
ese army were only permitted to do so under
an agreement that their correspondence
should be submitted to the Japanese authori
ties for revision and I was startled to learn
at Yokohama that letters sent by the
officers of a United States steamship to
their families while the vessel was at
Chemulpo , wore Inspected by Japanese
officials. The letters necessarily had to go
by way of Yokohama and the Japanese
took on themselves * the privilege of opening
V , the letters for fear they might contain in
formation of a nature which might bo detri
mental to Japanese Interests ,
Fumihlra Slvas , a Japanese artist , had
been spending several months In the interior
when the government Issued a call for
troops.
"At the place where I was stopping the
troops had to march twenty miles to Hlros-
chlma , " said ho. "From that place they
wereto be conveyed In "easels to Corea.
There wers sad leave takings. Poor farmers ,
too poor to pay their way , ran after the
army twenty miles to cheer them on to vic
tory. The whole country went wild nt the
prospect of war , and danger to life and limb
was the least thing that the father and
mother thought of In bidding their sons
goodbye.
/ "Mothers are not praying In Japan today
that their sons ba spared , They gather In
the places ot worship In great numbers
and pray , but their 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
have been able to observe , Is with hoer

against $4,000. and the odds , were so great
that U was the talk ot the country. The '
battle of Ping Yang decided Ihe wager. The
Englishman lost his 0,000. "
"I notice that the American papers have
been Indulging In a great deal of specula
tion on the probable fate ot the thousands

nt tb I battle. Let me say that they will
be treated most cordially. That is the outlined

NUW YORK , Oct. G. Henry T. Andrews ,
recently United State * consul at Hankow ,
China , at the Fifth Avenue hotel was aehed
to give the Associated press his views of the
present condition of China , particularly In
regard lo the danger threatening foreign resi
dents at Peking , Shanghai. Hankow and
other places open to foreigners. He eald In
substance : "The danger to forelcncrs at
Peking comes from the Inability of the
Chinese officers to restrain their soldier ? , the'
latter always considering foreigners legiti
mate objects of ridicule and abuse. Peking
being to a certain extent an Isolated place. It
Is most Important the families of foreign
residents should bo taken to points where
they can have the protection of gunboats ,
"The only access to Peking being overland ,
nnd n hard trip , the route from Peking to
Tlen-Tsln could easily be obstructed and
closed , which would render It Impossible to
brlnK away the women nnd children except
under a strong arme"ft foreign esrort. I do
not think there will be the slightest resist
ance to the entry ot the British forces Into
Peking.
"The treaty ports on the Yang-tse-Klang
will be hard to relieve in cafe of trouble , and

1 WASHINGTON , Oct. 5. Secretary Herbert
has been forehanded in taking steps for the
protection ot the lives and property of Ameri
can residents In China , believed' now to ba
endangered by rebellious and unrestrained
troops. The secretary about three wesks
ago suggested to Admiral Carpenter to con
fer with the commanders ot the foreign ships
In Chinese waters and arrange to co
operate with them If possible. The plan waste
to have ono or two war ships at each of
the treaty ports and other coast towns where
foreigners reside , to glvo protection to the
'
citizens' subjects of the nations party to
the ncreement.
The Charleston has arrived at Yokohama ,
Japan. There are now five United States
war ships In the east , the Charleston , Daltl-
moro , Monocacy , Concord nnd Petrel , and
this force will be Increased to eight ves
sels by the addition of the Detroit , Machlas

PARIS , Oct. G. The .Gaiilols , commenting
on the Urltlsh cabinet council held yesterday ,
asks If British Intervention In the Corean
trouble might not constitute a repetition of
the famous coupe of 1S7S , 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 Japnnesp 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.

WASHINGTON , Oct. D. S. W. Lamorcaux ,
commissioner of the general land office , In bis
annual report shows there has not been as
much activity In public land mailers this
year as last , duo to the hard times In the
west and consequent decrease In the Immigra
tion. Among other recommendations made
Is one for nn innovation In survey. Instead
of the contract system , under which lands
nro now surveyed , he says the government
should make the surveys. Ho suggests the
work be done by the geodctlcal survey and
points out that the present geodetlcal survey
is compelled to cover the same ground which
has been previously gone over by the contract
surveyors. The geographical survey and the
topographical survey can be made at the
same tlmo and with much' less expense.
Tlio disposal of land for the year ending
Juno 30 , was as follows : Sold for cash , 013-
825 acres ; miscellaneous entries , 9,763,393
acres ; Indian lands , 2SSTG acres ; total de-
crease compared with last year , 1,185,013
acres. The total cash receipts of the ofllce
were { 2,767,821 , a decrease of $1,711.009. To
tal agricultural patents Issued , 35,255 , a de
crease of 8,423 ; mineral patents , 1,303 ; rail
road land grants patented , SG5.55G acres ; ap
proved to states under public grants , 819,993
acres ; Indian and miscellaneous , 302,502 acres ;
total number ot acres patented , 2E3t,73o. :
Surveys amounting to G.92.V1S7 acres have
been approved during the year ,
The commissioner recommends that an' ap
propriation bo made for at least six attorneys ,
to supervise and direct the proceedings of
the special agents operating In the districts
designated by the commissioner , tlio attor
neys to have charge of the prosecution of
cases discovered by the special agents. Ho
renews his recommendation of last ye-ar that
the law authorizing permits to cut the Umber
on public lands be repealed.

WASHINGTON. Oct. G. Mr. Thad Shar-
rctt , a member of the New York board of
general customs appraisers , was nt the
Treasury department today In conference
with Assistant Secretary Hamlln regarding
several important questions connected with
the administration of the new tariff act. One
question ' under discussion wna whether the
entire woolen schedule of the new act , which
includes camel hair , etc. , goes Into effect
January ; 1 , 1S95 , or only those parts which re
late to articles of which Iho component or
chief ] component Is of wool. The board of
appraisers have decided that the entire sche
ad
aw 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 shoultl consti
tute the value for duty purposes of beet wugar
imported from Germany. The local appraiser
itP 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 , aa It would materially Increase the
tin of the beet sugar Imported from Ger
many and would likely greatly reduce the
Importations.

to his capture by ex-Chief Drunimond , Cap
tain Howgate said : "I have been greatly

WASHINGTON. Oct. 5. S. W. Lamoreaux ,
commissioner of the general land ofllce , In
his annual report to the secretary of the in
terior , makes several suggestions for relief
of the sufferers by forest fires In Wisconsin
and Minnesota. Ho 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 the-se
fires for permission to cut the timber at
once and sell It.
He therefore recommends that congress
be asked to give the permission necessary
to allow the cutting of this timber , and thus
prevent the total loss ot millions of feet.
Ho also suggests that congress take other
necessary steps for the relief of tlio fire
sufferers , following the precedent set in
similar cases.

Mr , Carlisle will Indicate his approval of the

DBS MOINES , In. , Oct. B. ( Special Tele
gram. ) The train bearing Governor McKln-
ley and party was over an hour late and
It was nearly dark before It arrived. 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 Savory house ,
escorted by a band. The walks were lined
on all sides and It Is estimated that fully
20,000 , persons saw the Ohio statesman as
'lo ' passed along and the cheers were continu
ous during the procession , Thousands ot
country people have come in during the
day , nnd probably not one-tenth of those
who desired to hear the great orator were
accommodated tonight. In the carriage with
Governor McKlnley were Governor Jackson ,
Chairman Ulythe and Major E. H. Conger.
Other carriages were occupied by Colonel
Fred Grant , you UK Tccumseh Sherman. Gen
eral G. M. Dodge , General Howard , General
Swayne , Colonel D , B. Henderson nnd others
comlns 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 handsof Governor McKlnley 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 McKlnley spoke at the
tabernacle first , while Congressman Dolllver
was talking at Foster's opera house , Mc
Klnley afterwards going there and speak
Inat briefly. A banquet was afterwards held
ataf the Savery hotel , and was an Inspiring
affair. Governor McKlnley will leave early
In the morning over the Northwestern road
fo 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 McKlnley 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 McKlnley left the car to speak from a
platform to the several thousand assembled.
Ho 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 lookIng -
Ing after the 00 per cent , the democratic
party gives Its attention to the 10 per cent.
Two thousand men were waiting at Atlantic
to hear McKlnley. Stops of ono or two min
utes were made along the route nnd at every
one tliero was a crowd that insisted upon
hearing a word from Iho governor.
It became known. along the route that the
. .
'abMrd'tno train and tfcey wer9"comp blted to
show themselves , and at several points to
say a- few words.

Governor 'William McKlntey was escorted
from Omaha to Council Bluffs this morning
by a committee , consisting of I. M. Treynor ,
-L. C. Daweon and
Mayor J. II. Cleaver , ar
riving at the Grand hotel at 8:40o'clock. : .
He was token to the hotel parlors , where
he was informally greeted by Congressman
D. B. Henderson. Governor Frank D. Jack
son , Major S. H. M. Byers , Congressman J ,
A. , T. Hull , Hoyt Sherman. W. H. M. Pusey ,
Judge J. R. Heed , Attorney Qeenral John Y.
Stone , Judge W. C. James and other
notables. " The governor was accompanied by
James P. Smith of Urbane , 0. , state li
brarian of Ohio , who was acting as manager
for McKlnley on this trip.
"But , " said Mr. Smith to a Bee reporter.
"McKlnley doesn't need to take a manager
along with him ; the people do all tlio man
aging that IB required. Ho has had nn en
thusiastic reception wherever he has gone ,
and as the champion of protection and the
originator of a measure whoso 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 In
shaking hands at the hutel parlors , Mr.
McKlnley was escorted to the street in front
of the hotel where , facing Bay lisa park , a
platform had been erected , In spite of the
fact that the arrangements were so late In
being perfected that no very extensive adver
tising could be done , an audience of between
3,000 and 1,000 was gathered nvout the plat
form , and as Boon as McKlnley emerged
from tha door , walklnk arm In arm with
Governor Jackson , a lusty cheer went up.
Governor Jackson introduced the speaker
In his brief , vigorous
way , and McKlnley >
stepped to the front of the platform and
commenced hisremarks. . For a few seconds
ho spoke In a voice that could hardly Ise
heard 100 feet nway , but soon warming up
to his subject there- was not one in all that
big audience who had
any difficulty in hear
ing every decisive word spoken In favor ref
republicanism and protection. For three-
quarters ot an hour ho held his listeners eIn
the deepest Interest ,
When he had concluded , .three hearty
cheers were given for him , and then Gov
ernor Jackson was called upon for a speech.
The governor , however , had to leave to catch :
the same train on which McKlnley was to
leave , and so the meeting came to an ted
after a few remarks. Governor McKlnley
had dates for speeches In the afternoon at
Avoca , Atlantic , Ad air , and Stuart , towns
along the Rock Island road , and In the even
ing at Des Molnes.
Council Bluffs was left at 10:45 : , the gov
ernor's party being taken charge ot \ vy

all could hear and see. Ills short talk was
listened to with Interest. Governor Jackson
and Colonel Fred Grant , who accompany the
major , were introduced amid cheers and heP
plause. Time being a scarce article , they
could only expresn their pleasure at being
here. The colonel's friends surrounded him
and claimed so much of his time In band-
shaking that the train pulled out. leaving

ST. PAUL , Oct. B. General Lew Wallace ,
who Is here on his way to the Pacific coast ,
eald this afternoon : "My opinion Is that
General Harrison will not bo a candidate for
the presidential nomination In the active ,
pushing sense ; In other words , he will not
mnko n fight for the nomination. But a
contlnsency might arise wherein the mem
bers of the convention , representing the
united sentiment of the republicans of the
country , would demand that ho accept the
nomination , and In that event I believe ho
would accept It as a duty to his country and
his party. "
General Wallace thinks that David D. Hill
will bo the democratic nominee.
Concluding , the general said : "I wish I
felt as sure of eternal salvation as I do that
this country will go republican In 1896. "

TAITOOKU TO.U'S IJ
liuldo riictn About Ills Interruption of
McKlnlry nt Ilia Coliseum.
Many of tboso who did so much to make
the McKlnley rally In Omaha Thursday night
tlidl complete success are now expressing their
disgust nt the cheap dramatic methods era-
ployed I 1 by one Tom Majors to attract at
tcntlon to himself In nn endeavor to win an
ovation to
which he was In no sense en
titled. Major McKlnley had bc-cn speaking
tlSI quarter of nn hour or more when Tom
Majors walked clown the aisle , ascended the
speaker's stand from Iho rear , crowded him
self through the hundreds of Invited guests
01hi the platform and ostentatiously put out
his hand to the orator. In order to do all
this Majors was compelled to
tlm put a great
many people to an Inconvenience. Moro
than this , ho had to Interrupt ono of tha
greatest > republicans Iho country has ever
produced In the very midst of an Important
argument , Major McKlnley was. too much
ol a gentleman to even show surprise , but
It Is surmised that ho went away from
Omaha with sonio very queer notions con
cerning { the good breeding of a man who la
running as a candidate for governor.
Majors' object In thus thrus'lng li mrclf
Into prominence was clearly understood by
everybody present. Ho tjpiply dosfrcd tt-
make a cheap , melodranm'lc entrance into
the hall alter the distinguish > d orator bad
obtained a. mastery over tha audiunca. Then
he hoped by walking to Iho front of the plat
form and shaking hands wllh thi ? orator ot
the evening to secure an ovation , whlqh could
bo pointed to by his friends an a sponfaheoua
tribute to his own personal pjpulnrlty. The
scheme fell as flat as Its Impudence de
manded It should. Hut very few people out
of the 13,000 In the hall raised their voices In
a cheer for Majors , and the voice o' these few
sounded suspiciously like theao ot men who
had been let Into the project.
The Impudence of this attempt to palm off
the ontlmslnim raised by a few claqucrs
will be better appreciated when It Is under
stood that Majors was with Governor Mc-
Klnley at Lincoln during the afternoon and
had been separated from lilm but a short
time , There was no occasion for an os
tentatious greeting , The thing was un
precedented and was witnessed with dis
gust by thousands of voters , who recognized
In the action the purpose of a cheap politi
cian to borrow a little undeserved apphuuo ,
Governor McKlnley 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 cnrai
to Nebraska at the earnest request of friends.
Ho declined to discuss state questions , and
merely alluded In the broadest way to the
comlnc election In Nebraska. On the way
to Omaha from Lincoln ho was requested to
allude to the republican defection from
Majors and the tattoosd candidates , but with
that good sense which has always character
ized big every public utterance , Governor
McKlnley declined to bolster up the waning
fortunes of a political candidate who by his'
every action shows that he realizes that te
has forfeited the confidence of'hjs state.
MUMCICAl , LKAUUE'H PLANS.
rropoicn to Nominate Candidate * for tlio
City Council nnd Vote for Them.
The Municipal league held an Important
sessionat the Doard ot Trade rooms last
)
evening lo discuss the coming municipal
campaign. Reports were rccevoJ | from tha
First andJThlrd ward councils showing that
active organizations ; bad been formed la
trciewards and that the intern ; taken la
the league was both gratifying nnd encour
aging.
The main purpose of the meeting , low.
ever , was. to adopt seine plan of political
action In the comlnc city campaign. At
a previous meeting a. committee had been
appointed for the purpose of recommending
a direct program. The committee- reported
last evening a resolution to the effect that
the league recommend to the republican
nnd democratic parties In each ward a can
didate for councilman and endeavor to secure -
cure tha nomination at the men so recom
mended. In the event that one of the
candidates so recommended was nominated
the league was to direct Its every effort
to secure the election of that candidate with
out regard to party. It both were nom
inated the league would not tccl called upon
to take special action. If neither werd
nominated then the league would place a
candidate of Us own In the field by peti
tion. The resolution was altered BO aa
to Include the populist party In Its scope
and then adopted , against the protest ol
Captain II , 13. Palmer , who did not favor
any action looking to the recognition of
the populists. Tlio league will nleo recom
mend the names of five or more candi
dates. for the Hoard of Education.
