DEEP IN THE DEBRIS.
A BUILDING COLLAPSES WITH
FATAL RESULTS.

Killed byn. railing lltillcllnc.
Nnw Yokk, Aug.IO. That pit least
'thirteen man lost thulr lives in tho
collnpso of Iho eight story building nt
West llroadway and West Third strcot
yesterday is now beyond question.
Not one of tho missing cloven men has
appeared and relatives of them nil are
gathered about tho ruins, anxiously
waiting for tho clearing away of tho
wreckage. These, with tho two who
died yesterday, muko the death list
thirteen.
The work on the debris was con
tinued all night and ton after ton of
debris was removed. Tho workmen
have not yet reached tho spot where
most of tho bodies are believed to bo
lying. Most of the workmen who lost
their lives are believed to have been in
or near tho center of the building
when the crash came and most of the
bodies are expected to be found near
the center.
Henry Alexander, manager of tho
electric light company, whose men
were working in tho building, has
written a warm letter, asserting that
when John Smith, tho wircman was
brought from the ruins tho surgeons
from rival hospitals, whom ho terms
"bloodthirsty butchers," fought for
tho body nndjilmost upset the stretch
er. Hut fur Vs delay ho thinks
Smith's llfo n I have been saved.
He died on his way' to the hospital.
Contractors Parker and Sillick wero
arraigned beforo Coroner Fitzpatrick
and each held in $3,000 bail on tho
charge of causing tho death of John
llurko, tho man who was first to die as
the result of injuries received.
When Coronor Fitzpatrick arrived to
look after tho dead he said that as a
practical builder it was ids opinion
that the collapse was caused .by tho
eandy nature of tho land on which tho
structure had been set. There wero
others who said that tho building had
been originally intended to be only
seven stories high and tho eighth
story, when added, had been too
heavy for the iron worlc. The builder
denied this without being able to form
any idea as to the cause of tho
collapse.
Tho bodies of two more victims wero
found in the ruins shortly before
noon. One was identified as that of
Michael Flynn. His body was drawn
from beneath a mass of wrcckago on
the first floor. The other body was
unidentified. This was found beneath
the first floor.
BONDS COMING BACK.
They aro Worth More tln This Country
'Hum Abroad.
NirVJTrKrA,ttgr-io:"rr-r.srv.tict tii ar
tho S0t00'),000 of United States four
per cent bonds sold abroad by tho Hcl-mont-Morgan
bond syndicate have
been delivered in London to the indi
vidual subscribers, and a goodly por
tion of them will start back at once
.for tho United States. So long as the
subscribers to tho bonds abroad only
had interest bearing scrip in their pos
session calling for tho delivery of
bonds by August 8, the syndicate wns
in control of tho situation, as holders
of scrip could only sell contracts to de
liver the bonds when released by the
syndicate managers in London.
Tho return of 10,000,000 of the bonds
of this country, of one-third of the en
tire amount placed abroad within a
week following tho actual delivery of
the bonds in London, is startling.
Every bond which is sold here by a for
eign holder must be paid for cither in
gold or a bill of exchange, and tho dif
ficulty of controlling tho foreign ex
chango market so ns to prevent exten
sive exports of gold is correspondingly
intensified.
Tito banks throughout tho country
have importuned their New York cor
respondents to obtain lots of S?0,000,
B100.000 and SlCO.000 of the bonds. Tho
Now York market being bare of the
bonds, they could only be obtained in
London.
CARLISLE FOR THE BENCH.

Washing! ox, Aug. 10. When Justico
Jackaon was so seriously ill this, spring
that ho was not expected to recover,
the namo of his successor was constant

gested by 'some that tho president
would again namo Messrs. Pcckham or
Hornlilowor of -lew York, while the
selection of tv limn from the West fell
to Don M. Dickinson. 1'ostmaster
General Wilson was strongly spoken of
is among tho possibilities, while tho
maiorltv wero of tho opinion that Sec
retary Carlisle could have the place if
he wanted it. Mr. Carlisle would be
specially eligible, as he would be ap
pointed from the same district that the
death of Justico Jacksou has made

DETAILS FROM CHINA..
The Stnte Department llccolrm Adtlccj
From Consul Jcrnlgnn lit Slmnjrhnl.
Washington, Aug. 10. Acting Sec
retary Adoo has revolved, a d rice from
United States Consul Gancrul Jernignn
at Shanghai, inclosing four letters ro
coivoll by him from tho missionaries,
giving in detail accounts of tho evunta
in China leading up tho rloU against
the missionaries at Chang Tu, In tho
provineo of Szc Chuen. One of thunv,
from Spencer Lnnir, dated Chung
King, China, says that the West
China Mission Methodist Episcopal
church is the only American mission
repro-ented nt Cheng Tu. Tho Amer
icans thcro wero tho Rev. Otis
Cally and wife, H. L. Cnmvight, M.
I)., and wife and two children and
tho Uov. J. F. Peat and wife and two
children. Tho mission owned but
one piece of property in Cheng Tu, on
which was a uiincso building fitted
for tho residence of two families, a
Chinese building used ns n chapel, a
dispensary and minor structures. Mr.
Lnnir says t lint substantially these aro
goue, even the paving stones being
carried out of tho courts. Tho total
loss, oxclusivo of personal losses, is
about 0.000 taels. Tho American Uap
tist Missionary union had stations at
Eiuliiu Jviating ami laehco. Tho mis
sion and personnl property in Kaitlng
and Yacheo aro probably all lost, but
particulars had not boon recoived by
Mr. Lanir when his letter was written.
At Su Fu tho Americans owned a great
deal of property, but not much damagn
was done to it.
Mr. Lanir makes serious charges
against tho viceroy, Cheo Tati, claim
ing that ns ho had been degraded aud
was soon to bo recalled, ho was bent
on giving a parting lilt, both nt tho
foreigners whom ho hated and tho
government. When tho llames burst
forth from the Roman Catholic bishop's
1 osldencc.scarcely a stone's throw from
tho viceroy's yatnen, the viceroy ro
marked that this was a matter for his
successor to attend to, and only after
everything wns quite dcslroyod did tho
viceroy make nny effort to restore or
der, in tho meantime, hav!ng"sent out
telegrams that a mutilated child had
been found at a foreign place with a
result that nearly all the natives be

fearful that greater slaughter will

but fcnvb that lie does not believe that
this will ever be done. Asked regard

McCnrtliy to Irishmen.
'London, Aug. 8. Justin McCarthy,
M. P., has nddrossed tho following
manifesto to the Irish peoplo hero anil
in America:
Fellow Countrymen The election of
a great coercionist nnd anti-home rule
majority to tho house of commons
makes it my duty to point out to you
that dissension In our ranks is ruinous
to tho" national cause; that tho only
means by which wo can hope to repair
tho disasters which dUeord and Insub
ordination havo brought upon us are
through tho restoration of discipline
and n genuine observation of tho Irish
Nationalist party a pledges to act loy
ally together.
With a united party in a united
country even tho present situation
would afford no ground for dospond
ency in tho Irish party. No man can
doubt that but, for unhappy orcnts in
tho autumn of 1890 tho verdict In 1802
in favor of home rule would havo
been absolutely decisive. Friction
nlono proventcd this result. Unhap
pily this friction has slnco grown and
outbreaks In discipline in our ranks
have given tho enemies of Ireland an
other lease of power in Great liritnin.
In spite of all discouragements nnd
difficulties tho national spirit has onco
again asserted Itsolf, Ireland voted
with unconquerable resolve, out It can
not bo doubted that Ireland would
havo done far better still, and Great
Britain would not havo done so ill, had
it Hot been for tho action of so-called
Irish Nationalists, who havo been
endeavoring openly to bring back
the eocrclonlsts to power, and still
more in lamentable blows aimed
at tho Irish party and tho Irish
national causo by ono of our
own colleagues at tho most critical
moment In the election. It would be
almost impossible to overestimate tho
disastrous effects of Mr. Ilcaly's un
founded charges ajuinst his own col-leu-rues,
mado ns thoy wero on tho
when thero was no possibility of coun
toracting their ouects on the polls.
It is with deep regret thnt I fefcl
compelled to characterize Mr. llealy's
action at the Omagho convention as dis
loyal to his party and, ovon setting
asido our own special obligation lo
each other, as a breaqh of ordinary
code of honor and tHs.oipllnoi essential
to tlio existence of overt pol'itlcal or
conization. Thi Omtttrho .scandal. "Uniti
happily, is only the latest of -n serjesi
of attacks.on thu milty''nnd ouMehcy
of tho Irish party. Let us endeavor
that It shall bo the, last .1

ment to address respectful words of
wr.rning to our fellow countrymen
and tp inform my colleagues frankly

cessfully. Tho claim is n valuable ono
for hay and stock nnd cattlemen were
said to be behind tho bchemo to get the
cltiimi
Fackler, with another mon named
Dewltt, camo upon tho claim and
began to mow, when they wero order
ed off by lluckminister. They refused
to go and a shooting affray fol
lowed in which lluckminister fired four
or fivo times, hitting Fackler in the
right arm and in tho right breast with
bullets from a Winchester rifie. Whoth

John J. lngnlls of Kansas, took tho
placo of tho Rev. Dr. Talmngo at tho
Plasa HlulTa assembly grounds yester
day, speaking on "Tho Education of
Citizens." After roforrlng to tho fact
that many young college men know
nothing of tho system and methods of
this government, ho said: "What wo
hear very much complained of in these
days Is bad government bad national
government, bad stato government,
had city government, boodleism in
municipal all'alro and corruption of
high officials. Allow 1110 to hay that
tho peoplo 01 this country, in every
state nnd every community, havo ex

servo to have. Wo cannot too often
refer to tho fact that this is 11 govern
uiont of public opinion. Wo henr a

opinion.- It cannot bo too often de
clared that there is ono thing in this
country moro powerful than constitu
tions, mora powerful than laws and
statutes and ordinances, and that is
the power of an enlightened, conscien
tious, patriotic public opinion."
Later tho speaker referred to tho
charges of corruption in congress, and
advocated tho election of president,
vlco president nnd Mnnlors by direct
vote of tho people. Then ho continued:
"I said every man and every woman lu
every community should bo politicians,
nnd I am glad to seo so many ladles

what tho sentiment of tho people of

I do not see why tho participation of
