THE NERUASKA INDEPENDENT. 3 A. P. ft.- JODGE STEVENS KEEPING DP THE FIGHT AGAINST THE OHIO MAN. A FIGHT FOR PRINCIPLE- McKinley Ii Declared to Be the Very Weakest Han the Republican Con vention Could Nominate Because of this Opposition of the Order His Boom Has Beached Its Zenith. Washington, Mav 6. Judge J. H. D. Stevens, chairman of the Supreme judiciary board -and of - the National .advisory board of the A. P. A., which will meei here next Tuesday simul taneously with the National A. P. A. convention, said to-day: '"The A. P. A. will assuredly take a hand in the presidential election. The part our organization will take is .not to ad vance the interests of any particular candidate. We are making this fight for principles, and the ambitious in dividuals do not concern us. - "McKinley is the very weakest man the Republican party could nominate. I am a Republican and a protectionist of the stalwart sort, but the objec tions to McKinley are too vital to be ignored. I can produce affidavits that charge him with having said, while governor of Ohio, that, while person ally he had no use for a Roman Catho lic, yet it was necessary to cater to that church, inasmuch as it was the 'strongest and most perfect political organization in this country,' aDd that any party that opposed it would go down to certain defeat No man who is weak enough to talk like that is fit , lor the White house. In my opinion, his boom has reached its zenith, and I have no idea that he will be the nominee of his party." ITS FIGHT ON M'KINLEY. The A. P. A. National Advisory Board Sends Out a Circular. Kansas Cur, Mo., May 6. The Kansas City council of the A. P. A. has just received the latest circular of the national advisory board, backing up its fight on Major McKinley's nom ination for the presidency.

Electricians Join the Street Car Handlers The Tie-Up More Complete. Milwaukee, Wis., May 6. At 8 o'clock this morning the street car lines were tied much more closely than at the same hour yesterday. Only three cars had been run all morning, while yesterday twelve or fifteen were in operation before 9 o'clock. All of the electrical workers in the employ of the street car companies, 275 in number, went on a sympathetic strike. The railway has enough men, however, to supply the motive power. Straggling cars were moving on all lines at 11 o'clock, but, as a rule, peo ple are not riding on them and busses are well patronized. The streets are free from excitement. t Two Women and Two Children Burned. New York, May 6.

Mielton was born here in 1864. At 15 she went to St Louis as a clerk in a sewing machine establish ment and became later a saleswoman in a music house. While employed in the latter capacity she made the ac quaintance of an old woman, who re vealed to her a secret facial remedy and urged her to engage in its manu facture. Miss Shelton did so and made New York her headquarters. Her success was such that she was sum moned to England to treat Queen Vic toria and succeeded here also. This made her position secure and she es tablished agencies throughout Eng land and Europe. She lectured in a number of European cities also.

Warmly Congratulated by the Boers on 31a Diplomatic Victory Over Secretary Chamberlain His Speeeh Very Moderate and Conservative, . Meeting Every Situation Firmly and Squarely. Pretoria, South African Republic, May 6. The Volksraad (parliament of the Transvaal) was opened to-day by President Kruger. Great interest was taken in the proceedings because of the recent disclosures of the cipher telegrams exchanged between Cecil Rhodes, then premier of Cape Colony, and others who took part in the Jame son raid. The town was crowded with Boers.many of whom had ridden hundreds of miles to be present The vicinity of the parliameat building was crowded with a picturesque gath ering" of Boers long before the hour set for the opening, and the commen dations passed upon the diplomacy of "Oom Paul," who has so cleverly out fenced the British secretary of state for the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, and is now so completely master of tbe situation that he towers head and shoulders over everybody and every thing connected with South Africa, were many and warm. The President, in his speech, said in brief that the recent events, due to malvolence and selfish objects, had seriously interrupted the rest and peace of the South African republic, adding: "It has ever been my wish to promote the development and pros perity of the republic in the most peaceable manner possible, so I am firmly convinced that it is your sin cere wish to co-operate with me in this policy and that you expect with the fullest confidence that tbe session of the Volksraad will contribute in no small manner to tbe. restoration of peace in this state in order that, through our united co-operation,, our country may flourish and prosper for the benefit of all." The president then touched upon tbe foreign relations of the South African republic, the most delicate portion of the speech, saying: "In spite of past troubles the republic continues to maintain friendly relations with for eign powers." The president then turned to the relations between the South African republic and its sister republic, the Orange Free State, remarking: "I hope that a meeting between repre sentatives of the Orange Free State and representatives of the South Af rican republic will shortly be held and plans for a closer union between ' the two countries will be discussed." This utterance of President Kruger was looked upon as confirming the re port that negotiations have for some time been on foot for an alliance, offensive and defensive, between the South African republic and the Orange Free State to resist any attempt upon the part of Great Britain to interfere with the internal affairs of either country. The President's speech was- very well received, being considered most moderate in tone, although meeting every situation firmly and squarely. SHORN OF THEIR POWER. Rock Island Passenger Conductors Can not Collect Fares. Kansas City, Mo. , May 6. The Rock Island railway conductors have been shorn of considerable of their authority. On many of the Rock Is land trains entering and leaving Kan sas city uniformed collectors take up the tickets and collect cash fares from the passengers, while the conductors simply look after the running of the trains, see that they are on time and help tbe passengers on and off at stations. The Rock Island conductors are in dignant over the introduction of the ticket collectors and consider it almost a direct charge of dishonesty, African Methodists In Conference. Wilmington, N.

SEVEN CRUSHED TO DEATH A Cincinnati Building Wrecked by Oat fillne Eip'oalon. Cincinnati. Ohio, May 6. At 8 o'clock I ail night the five story build ing, 430 and 432 Walnut street, be tween Fourth and Fifth streets, was blown to the ground by an explosion of a gasoline enciue. The shock was so terrific that it was felt' all over the city, and not one brick upon another is left in the front and rear walls of the building, while the adjacent buildings are badly damaged and the glass in the windows in the Gibson house and the large Johnson building across the atreet were all broken. The glass was broken out of street cars that were passing at the time, and one of the cars was badly wrecked, but none of the passengers wat seriously hurt Ali the horses in the immediate neighborhood broke from their fastenings and ran away, and there was not only intense ex citement, but the greatest confusion. Seven were crushed to death and twenty injured, amomg whom several fatalities may develop. The family of Adolph Drachs suf fered most severely. Drachs and his wife are numbered among the dead, his 5-year-old daughter is dead and his 3-year-old boy Is believed to be dying. Noland Davit, a traveling man for the Columbia Carriage com pany, of Hamilton, Ohio, and two others, unidentified, complete the list of those known to be dead. A most touching scene occurred when Fireman John McCarthy found his brother pinioned under a heavy beam and begging the me a above to kill him. McCarthy said there were three other men near him and they were alive. The most heroic efforts to liberate these sufferers were con tinued up to midnight Jack McCarthy, Peter Burns and Charles Tilley were taken out of the ruins about midnight, but it is feared that none of them will live. . Workmen report at 12:45 that one of Mrs. Drachs' children was certainly still alive, as they could plainly hear it calling "mamma." SENTENCE COMMUTED.

METHODIST LEADERS EXPRESS THEIR VIEWS ON THE ISSUE, CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUE. Strong Opposition Developed to Beating tbe Fair Delegates Laymen Demand Full Klghte In the Conference No Other Business to Be Done Until This Is Set-' tied by Conference. Cleveland, Ohio, May 6. No sooner had Bishop Andrews called the general Methodist Episcopal confer ence to order this morning than C. W. Bennett of Cincinnati presented a res olution providing for the appointment of a special committee to pass on all communications from the laymen, this committee to consist of one minister and one layman from each district After a good deal of debate in which the Rev. Dr. Shier of Detroit ex pressed regret that any feeling existed between clergy and laity an effort was made by Dr. James of Philadel phia to have the committee consist of fifteen members to be appointed by the bishop. The lay delegates would not agree to this and Mr. Bennett's resolution went through. The woman question was again brought forward and President Daniel Stevenson of Union college, Ken tucky, criticised the action of the bishops in deciding against the action of the women in 1888. The Rev. G. Neely led the fight against the women. He held that the question was one of law purely. He took up the question of the bible ar gument and said that it was true that the bible said men and women were one in Christ, but not in the general conference. He held that in the church the status of women was different from that of men. The question waa a constitutional one and no one was to be admitted unless specifically men tioned. Judge Capias of Oregon, Senator Harlan, Dr. Buckley of New York.Dr Leonard of Cincinnati, the Rev. Dr. Harris of Main, the Rev. Dr. James Caffey of Minneapolis, the Rev. Dr. J. W. Hamilton, Dr. R. J. Day of Sy racuse, Dr. Emery Miller of Iowa, and several other men prominent in the counsels of the church spoke upon the question. When the hour for adjournment ar rived the conference discontinued the debate and will resume it to-morrow morning where it was left to-day. No business was transacted by the con ference to-day and nothing will be done until the woman question is set. tied. ..- ?; WYANDOTJEJNOT IN IT. Second Kansas Republicans Organic Very Quietly.

B. Carpenter, a farmer oi Miami county, and a Funston sup porter, suould be temporary chairman. This was agreed upon by candidate! Jack Harris, E. I. Metcalf, Eld on Lowe and K. H. Funston early last evening. W.J.Buchan and CW.Trick ett of Wyandotte county and their respective friends were not consulted, for by common consent it had been agreed that neither of the contending delegations from that county should have a voice in the temporaFy oigan ization. The contending delegations from Wyandotte county were admitted to seats in the convention hail as spec tators only, the sixty-six delegatei representing the other counties of the district effecting the temporary organ ization. , As soon as the temporary organiza tion was effected the Wyandotte con test was taken up by the credentials committee. Convention adjourned till 5 o'clock. The committee on credentials is anti-Buchan, but whether Trickett will be able to han Me it is a question. Buchan's friends throughout the dis trict, especially those of Wyandotte and Douglas counties, xavor a new election. . Llnhardt'e Murderer Confesses. Jefferson City, Mo., May 8.
