NEW YORK , April 13. Eight five-story ten
ements on the pouth tide of West Sixty-
second street , between Tenth and Eleventh
Avenues , that had recently been put under
roof , fell this afternoon while efforts w ro bo
ng made to brace them up , that tbo yielding
emulations might bo made secure. The
wreck WAS complete , not a stick remained
landing , not a timber remained whole In the
entire row. Half n hundred workmen were
at work in or about the building at the time.
At least thirteen of thorn were injured , none
atally. It was said that coon after the
iccident occurred twenty persons
voro buried In the ruins , but up to n late
lour nobody had been found. The excitement
about the place was so great that it was diffi
cult to obetain reliable Information as to who
might have been lost , but gangs of workmen
employed in poarching for remains found no
clue to any objects of their search up to-night-
all. The most superficial examination of the
debris showed the causa of the disaster to bo
VRETCHKD WOBKMANSUir AND 1'OOR MA
TERIAL ,
The mortar contained but littla or no sand ,
rat loom or mud instead , and was wholly un
it for use. This , and the fact that the build-
ng had bean erected during the did weather ,
of wet and frozen bricks , wore directly the
cau e of the colapso , The builder , Dearies
A. Buddensick , woo was responsible , left the
idxliborhood > n a carriage immediately after
lin disaster and drove to bin residence in
3 st Seventy-seventh street Where ho went
rom there nobody could learn. The
lolice , who arrested Matter Bricklayer
Jbarlea Frank , could not find
Builder Uuddensick , Ho baa been
or years in trouble with the authorities on
iccount of "skin" buildings he has put up.
The evidenca given by Frank and Charles
3wager , another btlck layer , ia very damig-
ng to M. Uuddenslck. The erection of the
luilding bad been going on since la < t Nov-jrr-
jer , during all the cold weather ; ibo fourth
atory walla showed weakness in a oudtlen
, haw before the fifth xtory was reached and
lad to bo taken down. The workmen were
orbHdeu to carry home scraps of tim-
jer loft by tin carpenters , as by the
Builder's orders these were to be
used in filling in the walls to save bricks ,
vbich were sometimes put in by the armful.
When a good thaw set in the walla began to
weaken , and steps were taken
TO BRACK T11KSI UP KROM 1IOTH ENDS
to they would stick together until the roofs
could be put on and tbo end walla rebuilt.
The wall stood thus for a week or two with
out so far as could be learned , exciting the
mrloaity of tha building department.
The heavy , warm rain of yesterday
morning completed the work Begun
) y the thaw. This morning it waj seen tbat
; hreo houiea at the west end were in immi-
lent danger of falling , the foundation had
julged nolicably , and the walls were shaky ,
Sullder liuddonsiok's attention wat called to
.bo matter. He set men to work to fix up
the walls of the foundation. Four stone
naeons and eighteen carpenters were at work
on this when the crash came. There were
oofers , painters , lathers and plumbers , num
bering perhaps thirty , at work about the
resises at the time , hfty men had been laid
> ff as some material had not arrived. About
3:15 : p. m. ,
A BIIOCT Of WARNING WJUtT Cl1
; hat brought palo faces to many windows ,
The end of tbo building toward Eleventh
avenue was seen to tutter and then fall with
i tremendous noieo. Both foundation walls
bad fallen out , and the body of the house de
prived of Its eupport , fell to the cellar. The
building odjoinincr it , having nothing to lean
unon , fell next , Then the whole row followed
like a line of card houiea. A continuous roar
fallowed , that seemed to last many minutes ,
as one of ler the other went down. The work
men in tha buildings for blocks around , and
the people living on the street for half a mile
about were startled by the shock. In
a abort time the locality of the wreck
was packed by excited people whoso threuta
of vengeance on the reckless builder filled the
air. When the heavy cloud of dust was
cleared away the people looked npon the bean
of broken bricks and andtimb/rs piled only a
few feet above the level of the street.
MEN WITH BROKEN LIMBS AND BRUISED KACJtB
were struggling out from under the wreck and
dragging themselves painfully away , Groans
and shrieks were heaid from one er two
r > laces and to these spots the people rushed.
Firemen and all available ambulinces were
summoned. People from all parts of the city
Hocked there. .Roosevelt hospital ambu
lances were first on hand and carried away
nine of the injured. Commissioner Urennan ,
of the charities department undertook to di
rect the work of rescue and Building Inspec
tor D'Oonch and the exclae commissioners did
work in the lama direction , Four hook and
ladder companies and the crews of three en
gine companies set to work removing the de
bris. A large g mg of workmen were prusied
into service and In fifteen mlnutei the labor
of rescue wa * well underway. Night let in
before their efforts were relaxed at all. Once

The British drain Trade.
LONDON , April 13. The Maik Lane Ex
press , in its weekly review of the British
prain trade , says : The slight rainfall has
wrought the spring grain well forward , The
mminenco of war between England and
[ luesia has caused native wheat to advance 3s
@ 5s. The actual , business done has been
very small. Sales of English wheat during
the past week were 42,809 quarters at 33s 3d ,
against 47,770 quarters at 37a 9d during the
corresponding week last year. It is believed
that from three-fourths to four-fifths of the
English wheat crop of 1884 has already
jeen marketed , and that millers
iiold but little of the stock. These condi
tions , together wlthsmall reverses in foreign
wheat , and the fact that half of 3,000,030
quarters of foreign breadstnffs on passage are
from two to four months off , would warrant
the belief tbat the position Is sufficiently elas
tic to bring about un advance of twenty shil
lings per quarter within the week should war
be declared , Values are so low that there ia
plenty of room from such an advance with
out making wheat dear. How long such an
advance would b maintained would depend
upuii the action of Ameiican speculators dur
ing the next two months , at present the trade
la experiencing extrame tension which deters
both buyers and sellers from operating. For
eign tiode in greatly excited on account of
war rumors , off coast market Is In a state of
suspense. Ten cargoes arrived , fix cargoes
were sold , five were withdrawn and cloven

TERMINAL LIMITS OK WITHDRAWAL Of LANDS
ON THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.
Commusioner Sparks , of the general land
office , to-day sent the following communica-
.ion to the register and receiver at Walla
Walla , W. T :
GENTLEMKN : Un March 20th a diagram
was transmitted to you with an oilice letter ,
advising you of the amendment of the termi
nal limit of the withdrawal of thf.\nd ! in
your dlstrit on the duQnite location of the line
} f the Northern Pacific railroad , and you were
instructed in effect that the railroad company
would bo permitted to select lands under Ita
grant within'auch extended limits. It nppeara
that [ tint change was-'ntked for in 'the
interest of certain alleged purchases from the
railroad company of lands not subject to selec
tion or bolo by the company ender order of the
commissioner of the land oilice of August 10 ,
1881. < ,
K1XINO THE T2RUINAL LIMIT OK HA1D WITH
DRAWAL.
My attention bos been called to the matter
by a complaint referred to me on the 7th inat.
by the secretary of the Interior , alleging that
the intoresta of settlers npon 119.7CU acres of
land were prejudiced by this action in favor
of purchasers of 2030 acres from the railroad
company. I am satisfied tbat the action of the
20th ult. , was taken uuder a misconception of
the pur port of the letter from tbo secretary
of the interior of the 13th ult , , in reply to a
letter the preceding day from the commis
sioner of this office , asking instructions In the
premlies. The secretary stated that fixing
the territorial limit was a matter of mathe
matical ascertainment , and if a correction waa
necessary to truly represent the grant on
either aide of the road
THIS OmCK WAS COMl'ETHKT TO MAKK IT.
such limit WM fixed by the commissioner' ) )
order of August 10 , 1881. In accordance
with the lules used in the adjustment of the
early land grants , and adhered to from tbat
period to the present time , It la not ehown
that any error was made in the ascertniument
of that limit m the pretent case. It was
clearly not the purpiep of the secretary to
change the /ule for fixing the terminal terms ,
which had been applied to all rat ro&d grant * ,
nor to authorize the _ extenalon of withdrawal
of the definite location beyond terminal llmiti
when already fixed by mathematical ascot-
malnment In which no error la discovered.
Tha action and instruction of March 20th
1885 , being erroneous are hereby revoked , In
rpsakiDgof thti subject to-rfay , Commitftonor
Sparks sold : The order of March 20th ought
not tn hava been made. Jt brought Into the
land grant what I thought should not have
been brought iuwhen my attention was drawn
to tha mutter by the letter of compliiut.
After conference with the secretary I decided
to revoke that order. It Is sUUd at the land
office that the amount of land involved in the
change of limit was liO.COO , and that two-
thirds of It had already been patented to Bottlers
tlers , thus placing It beyond the reach of the
railroad company.

WASHINGTON , April 13. The Post tomorrow
row morning will publish an interview which
occurred between Capt , Crouch , loider of the
Oklahoma boomers , and the secretary of the
interior with irgard to Oklahoma , In the
course of which Secretary ] Ltmar
said : "What la U you wish1 "I
wish to know what course the administration
Is determined to pursue in reference
to Oklahoma and the settlers , replied Capt
Couch. Well , air , said the secretary. I will
state to you tno policy of this administration
with regard to this Oklahoma country. It
considers the Oklahoma treaty on which the
persons you represent are proposing to nuke
settlement , rvs within and 'a part of the In
dian territory. The administration regards
it as not part of the publlo domain open to
enter and nottlomcnt , and the acquisition if
titles under the land * laws of the
being nu Indian country that is torrltor y ac
quired and reserved lor Indian occupancy.
The government la pledged to the protection
of it and security of the Indians from in-
tiuders. No white persons have any right to
go there and reside without a permit and when
they do go there they are intruders who ore
acting illegally and wrongfully. Tha policy
of the president la to execute the pledge
of the government and to protect this
territory from the Intrusion of tko white per
sons who claim they have aright to enter up
on it and that it is public domain subject
to pre-emption and homestead settlement ,
"Is that the final decision1 asked Capt.
Cuuch , "It is. aud will be enforced , " icphtd
Mr , Lamar. Secretary Lamar declared with
emphasis that no cattle men ehnuld bo per
mitted to graze their stock within the limits
of Oklahoma.
