CntCMio , July 11. The fall of night otlll
finds the ruins of the cold storage building
unexplored , and It Is Just beginning to bo re
alized that the full extent of yesterday's dis
aster cannot bo ascertained until this moun
tain of rubbish Is curled away. At some
points the accumulation Is fifteen to twenty
feet high anil It is impossible to know how
many charred bodies may rest beneath until
these heaps have been thoroughly examined.
The search Is.necessarily slow and tedious.

get well.
Thirteen llodlca Itccovcrcd.
In all , thirteen bodies hnvo been recovered
from the ruins. Besides these three lli'o-
mcn died at the hospital. It Is now defi
nitely known that a number of workmen cm-
ployed in the building ascended the futul
tower with the firemen , und how many wcro
lost no ono knows.
The central attraction at the World's
fair today is something not down in
the guide books. It is the ruins of the
cold storage building burned yesterday
with such fearful results In loss of life. Ten
thousand people gathered around the debris
this morning watching the search ,
which still goes on for bodies of
victims. " Early this morning the remains
of three moro unfortunates were recovered.
This discovery opens the question of
how many persons besides the firemen lost
their lives In the burned building. The
total dead bodies so far recovered number
thirteen , but the search in the ruins thus fur
ha's been very slight because of the heat and
confusion and thcro is no doubt that the
list is still incomplete.
I'eoplo Who Are Stilt Mlislnsr ,
The Columbian guards on duty nt the
scnno during the llro have constantly main
tained that several World's fair visitors and'
electrical employes und other workers were
caught in the flames , and today's discov
eries lend color to their contentions. It is
certain thcro were a number
of visitors nnd 'workmen in the building
nt the time the lire broke out. It bus
therefore been decided to make a minute
examination of the ruins foot by foot as
rapidly as possible. The electric light company -
pany had a number of men in the lower part
of the building stringing wires when the
lire broke out ann several of these nro still
missing. Four Columbian guards are still
unaccounted for. At least . ' 00 people who
have missing relatives or friends are around
the ruins trying to identify the
bodies discovered. In numerous Instances
these tire World's fair visitors whoso'fricnds
do not even know they wcro in the neigh
borhood of the building , und it is therefore
probable that most of them will turn up
safe. Many inquiries como from Spring-
Hold , 111. , nb to the fata of Lieutenant John
II. Freeman of flro company. No. 1. There
is no longer any doubt us to his fato. Ho
was ono of .the first to roach the top of the
burning shaft and was consequently ono of
the llrst victims of the flro. Ills charred
body hrts been recovered and in some way
Identified by comrades , though features and
form uro unrecognizable. Freeman only en
tered the World's fair llro department a few
weeks ago. Ho was for many years chief
lire marshal of Springfield , but recently lost
his position through a change in adminis
tration.
Seventeen wounded nro In the hospital
and elsewhere. Among the wounded are :
SllrKlllNTK.NDE.NT THOMAS IlAllHV , ami
broken , will 1mvo lo ho amputated.
MAHSIIAF , Muuriiv , clilot of World's full [
llro dopartnicnt , slightly Injured.
MAHSHAI , KINYON : , chief of battalion
bruised.
Three Columbian guards who wont up the
deadly cupola to help the firemen draw uj
\ the hose , nro missing and it is supposed tboi
shared tlio fate of the firemen.
' Locating the Illume.
The examination of the remains and the
itructuro this morning reveals Its llimsj
character and many condemn the construe
tion dopartnicnt of the World's ' fair foi
allowing it to go up in that form , It is suit :
the council of administration had been
warned time and again of the dun'
porous character of the structure , including
once by Marshal Murphy , and that the eoun
ell , to cut down expenses , ordered the with
flruwal of the Columbian guards on dutj
there in spile of the protest from the com
mandbr. Uutfrom the favorable \lircclioi :
of the wind yesterday It is believed nothltif
could have prevented the lire from swcoplut
right , through the whole city.
The council ot administration was Ii
iccrot session all morning , and from tlio ton <
of the voices heard from within It was ovldeii
the session was stormy. Director of World
11 urn ham was buforo the council an hour
Ho declined to say what was asked him ,
The council finally adopted resolutions o
respect for the bravery of the men who los
.their lives und of sympathy with th
bereaved , and recommending that the ex
position committee contribute to the relic
fund and that suitable medals bo prosuntoi
to the survivors Who showed special bravery
I'ho coroner's Jury was impaneled , vlewci
the bodies ami adjourned till Thursday V

The coroner says ho understands the firs
plans of tbo burned building called for stec
luth , hut that other plans subsequent !

Urcat crowds surrounded the morgun n !

many out of mere idobid curiosity.

C. II. Mooro'g Family Thought to Ilmu
Item Lost In the Clilt-iico Fire.
While it Is as yet impossible to state defin
itely whether the family of C. B. Moore met
death in the llro which destroyed the Her
cules Iron company's building at the World's
fair grounds Monday , Indications are that
Margaret , Emma and Ora were in the build
ing at the time of the conflagration , and the
gravest fears for their safety are expressed.
Mrs. Moore was can led out of the death
trap considerably burned about the head
and upper portion of the body , but whether
the children were in the building at tbo
time is impossible to ascertain until Mrs.
Moore can be seen.
Ycbtcrday a rumor was current on the
streets that Mr. Moore had entered the
building while the flre was raging
to ascertain the safety of the
family and had not been seen since. Dr.
Duryca , who has been the pastor of the
Moore family and know them very well , tele
graphed to Mr. Moore's assistant as to the
whereabouts of Mr. Moore. Yesterday
ho received n telegram from the assistant
stating that Mr. Moore could not bo found
and was last seen lu the building.
This becoming noised about town nt
once gave color to tlio. rumor that Mr.
Moore and his family wcro nil In the
ruins of the cold storage structure. Tun
BUUT however , to set at rest all doubts as to
the result of the fire , at once asked its repre
sentatives in Chicago to throw some light on
the dreadful Disaster and its direful effects
in Mr. Moore's case , with the result
that ut noon a tolcgram was re
ceived staling that th'o Hercules
Iron company reports that C. D. Moore
got out of the building all right. But be-
.yond this meager information nothing can
bo learned of the fate of the three daughters
who are known to have lived with their
parents In the upper portion of tlio building.
Franklin 1J. Wufsh und his wife , Irene
Moore Walsh , but a day or so ago moved to
the fourth floor of the structure and these
two well known young Omaha people are
also unaccounted for.
Mr. Moore was interested In putting
throughout tlio World's fairgrounds a nickle-
lu-tho-slot lemonade machine. . Tlio building
was used by Mr. Moore as a warehouse for
these machines , ami in order to bo on tlio
ground when set up ho took rooms on the
third lioor of the building , which ho has oc
cupied slnco the opening of the fair.
Mr. C. U. Moore was ono of Omaha's best
known grocers , having occupied for years n
store room on Dodge street between Four
teenth and Fifteenth , later removing'to the
Bachelor Quarters.
Ho had a most charming fimllyand hun
dreds ot friends are today anxiously waiting
news of the family's fato.

DnNVEn , July 11. The mass meeting called
by President Merrlck of the State Silver
league and joint committees of the Chamber
of Commerce , Heal Kstato and Stock ex
changes mot at thu Coliseum hall at noon
today. The building was crowded with n
thousand delegates from every section of the
state who had come to see what could bo
done toward crystullztng sentiment lu Col
orado on the establishment of the frco and
unlimited coinage of silver.
Among the delegates wcro the leading men
of the state , like Senator Wolcott , Congress
men Boll and Pence , Governor Waitc , David
H. Moffatt , president of the First National
banic , and many other bankers and members
of the Colorado general assembly. Thcro
appeared to bo but ono feeling In all the
gathering , und that was , "frco coinage or
nothing. "
I'rcNldont Morrlck'a llomarlcg.
In his address calling the meeting to order
President Merrlck said : "Wo ask for Jus
tice , for the restoration of our rights. Wo
will accept nothing less. Tlio pioneers of
Colorado have had their contract violated.
Petitions and demonstrations have been un
availing. The crime of 18T2 has gene on all
thcso years unpunished. Wo are hero to do-
maud an early and speedy settlement of the
silver question. "
Following his remarks the committee on
organization was appointed aud a motion
made to take a recess until 2 o'clock. At
this point some of the extremists attempted
to introduce u resolution. This created an
uproar which came toear terminating in a
riot.
Ex-Congressman Belford finally secured
the floor und said : "Gentlemen , the world
is watchlng-Colorado at this momeut. Wo
must bo dignified and earnest ; no passion
should prevail. Il'imomber , resistance to
tyranny is obediencn to God. I beg of you
to adjourn. "
This seemed to bring the angry crowd to
its senses and the recess was taken.
On reassembling , it could bo easily seen
that the spirit which controlled the dele
gates at the morning session was not under
control , but only awaiting an opportunity to
break out again. After order had , In n man
ner , been restored , the committees ap
pointed in the morning made their report ,
except the resolution committee , which will
report at tomorrow's session.
Address of tha Cliilrnvin.
Hon. Charles S. .Thomas , democratic na
tional cominittcemall from Colorado was
, made permanent chairman. In assuming
the chairmanship , ho said : "To preside
over u convention llko this , which knows no
party and alleges no creed , save the welfare
of the pODplo , is un honor of which any man
may bo Justly proud , for to my mind the Im
portance of this gathering aud the work it
shall accomplish is beyond the horizon of
any human Judgment. It is to record the
protest of a frco people against the tenden
cies of the times , which recognize the claims
of n few against the prosperity and freedom
of the many.
"Wo are face to face with a crisis which
has had but few parallels in the history of
this country , so deep , so broad and so far-
reaching that it docs not involve oxasgera-
tion to predict that it means another phase
of the old question of slavery over asrain. It
is n stagnation of business , a paralysis of
commerce. "
This stagnation. Mr. Thomas went on to
show , was from the failure to restore silver
to its legitimate ratio of 10 to 1. "It
may be that the road of frco coinage
is long and weary , " said Mr. Thomas. "It
may bo beset with many dilllculties and dis
advantages , but If it is the mournful
pleasure of the stalwart people of the west
and the south , that they Who have attempted
to involve this country iu ruin must , like
Samson , go down enslaved beneuth the
ruins of the times. There Is no argument
that can bo advanced against the ro-
monetization of silver that is worthy the re
flection of any patriotic citizen , und not ono
advanced against it that is not tinctured by
some Individual class and aimed at the
masses of this country. "
Governor Wultu'H liifliimninlory Talk.
At the conclusion of Mr. Thomas' re
marks some dulcguto called for Governor
Wuito. The echo of this ono voice wus
taken up in u mighty shout from 1,000
lungs , which was carried to the galleries ,
where as many moro Joined In the demon-
strathm. As the old gray-haired governor
started down the uislo to the platform the
scene presented is beyond the pen's descrip
tion. Men whoso future depended upon the
result of the cause for which they were
lighting stood lu their seats and yelled until
exhausted. The executive , who comes from
Aspen , ono of the leading sliver mining
camps of the state , in his remarks confined
himself to the question of silver and Its de
monetization nnd to these In the cast nnd
Europe who would not only ruin the west
but the entire country by forcing such a
policy upon us , concluded by saying : "If the
money power shall attempt to sustain its
usurpation by the strong hand wo will moot
that issue when It Is forced upon us , for it is
bettor infinitely that blood should flow to
the horses' bridles rather than our national
liberties bo destroyed.
"If It Is true that the United States is
unable to carry out Its govcrmentul policy
without the dictation or consent of foreign
powers ; If wo area province of European
monarchies , then wo need another revolu
tion , another appeal to arms und wo have
won the battle. If war Is forced upon us ,
wo will send to Halifax a' far greater army
of British torlcs , according to our popula
tion , than our forefathers scut there after
the revolutionary war.
"Tho war has begun ; It ,1s thosnraojrai
that must always bo waged against op
pression nnd tyranny , to preserve the lib
erties of man. "
The address created a sensation and a
sccno ot great confusion followed , the ap-
pluuso being deafening.
Judge Kcrr of Pueblo got the floor anil
spoke in the same inflammatory vein ae
Governor Walto. Ho endorsed tlio recent
revolutionary telegram sent by Edward 11 ,
Iloldcu to the cast , In which the latter do
dared that if the war upon silver continue1 ! ,
it would result In the west repudiating all
tier obligations ; that 150,000 men would be
paupers and &W,000 people upon the verge ol
starvation , und a revolution bo the Una
result.
WouldNot , I.Ulen to Iteiiion ,
When ho had finished , J. Cook , Jr. , will
difficulty got the floor. His first sentence
created a furore und the convention sccmoi
disposed to hoot him down. Ho said : ' 'We
are liable to do things wo may regret. ]
appeul to you as men not to do today whai
you will regret tomorrow. Wo tire excited
Wo hardly know what wo are del jj. [ "No

able and act us Intelligent tr.cn. Wo ur <
going cast us men to educate men iu the east
If we full , then U tbo time to act. There Ii
time enough to talk as you feel now. "
Then thu convention went wild again , am
cries of "Wo know what wo are doing , '
"You nro a gold bug , " were heard.
Mr. Cook concluded his remarks with i
heroic effort to secure moderation , but it wut
apparent that ho hud made 'no Imprcssloi
upon his audience.
It was then moved that the convention enders
dors < j the rcwariw of Governor Walto. Th <
motion was carried amidst \ho greatest en
thusiasm.

ATl'flVK O.V KEIU.
AVImt tlio Defeated Vloc I'resldcntlnl Cnn-
dlilnto Has to Say About It.
CmcAao , July 11. Hon. Whltelaw Held ,
ex-minister to Franco , who , with his family
has been seeing the World's fair for some
days past , waS caught last night by n re
porter just as ho was starting back for Now
York.
Mr. Reid expressed great delight with the
fair. The reporter asked Mr. Reid If ho had
road ox-Senator Ingalls' criticism of his
candidacy for the vice presidency.
"No , " said Mr. Reidj with a laugh , "but
you know I was not lu favor of that nomina
tion myself , so probably the ex-senator and
I would not differ materially. "
The reporter then showed Mr. Reid the
passage iu which Mr. Ingalls sneered at him
as "uxorious ana aristocratic , " objected to
his address , manners and ways , and spoke
of his ' surreptltious'lnsuHs ' to the laboring
men. "
"That , " said Mr. Reid , with more serious
ness , "is absurd. I havq been a laboring
man myself , farjnord than'Mr. Inpnlls ever
was , and howould probably bo puzzled to
specify any Insult , surreptitious or other-
"wi > e , that I over Qffe'red tojabor , or to any
honest laboring man. All this talk about
hostility to the national ticket last year on
account of the fifteen-year-old strike , which
was settled to the , satisfaction of the labor
unions themselves , v'ia "sheer clap-trap any
way. There nover'wcrOj'l.OOO votes affected
by it In New \ork'--oyon when it was
an open question. To say" when if was settled -
tlod that the labor , .unions still carried It
into politics Is to accuse thorn , not merely of
bad faith , but of a systematic violation of
their own cardinal principles and Is thus
offering them the grossest Insults. Of
course , our opponents made a great hubbuo
about it , but most of those whom they claim
wcro affected wcro enlisted already on their
side. I doubt whether POwdcrly or any other
reputable and responsible labor leader will
say that the question turned a thousand
laborvotes in thoUnitcd'Stutes last fall. Cer
tainly it aid not turn ono where a single
rifle shot at the Carnegie works turned hun
dreds. "
"What about the 'uxoriousness and aris
tocracy ! ' " asked tho'rcporter.
"O , pshaw I" said Mr. Rold , "whoever
heard before of a rational man attacking t
candidate because he was decently fond ol
his wife ? The rest of Mr. Ingalls' complain !
seems to bo that in oilier particulars , also , 1
act llko a gentleman. Well , out in Kansas
they surely did not bring that accusation
against him. And yotn when ho was last a
candidate , although he abandoned his sup
posed principles and crawled in the dirt
before them , Mrs. Lease and Mr. Peffcr
thrust him into the guttc'r. Ho has bcci
lying there over since , shouting murder uni
bad language , "
"What can bo his motive for the attack1 ?
pursued the reporter.
"How do I know ? And what's the use o
guessing ? Ho seems 'to lack employment
since ho was thrown out of office-holding ,
and I suppose the manmust make a living
by lecturing or writing for the syndicates.
Wo have dozens of such statesmen out of a
job applying to U3 for work after every
election , and I fancy your paper has the
same experience , " 'and , with a cheery good-
by , the Now York editor swung into u cab
and started for his train.
KiDisiis Coal Minors and JIlno Owners

PiTTaiiuuci , Kan. ( July 11. The striking
minors held n delegate convention today to
vote upon the proposition iSiado by the mine
owners to settle thn.strike. The offer made
by the owners was that the 61 cents a ton
should bo paid for mine run coal the year

by a unanimous vote. Tlio delegates will

counter proposition to the owners.
Fifty more minors went back to work
today in the mines of the Kansas & Texas
Coal company at Lltchfleld , thn largest In

VALI-AUAISO , Chill ( via Oalvcston , Tex. ) ,
luly 11. [ By Mexican Cable to the Now
York Herald Special to TUB Bni : . ]
Dispatches from Rio Grande do Sul , Brazil ,
via Montevideo , say that an assault has boon
nado upon that town from the land and sea
by the revolutionary forces. This assault
was foreshadowed when I cabled the Herald
that Admiral Wnrdolkolk had formally do-
clarcd In favor of the revolutionists and had
appeared iu front of the town of Rio Grande
do Sul In n steamship with ( > 00 armed sol
diers aboard.
When the news of the admiral's arrival on
the steamship Jupiter spread In the town
the citizens were terror-stricken. They
feared an Immediate attack. Many of them
abandoned their homes and sought refuse in
the country back of the town. Admiral
Wardolkolk postponed the bombardment of
the town from the sea until the arrival of
Insurgent land forces under General Saraiva ,
the preconcerted plan being to begin an as
sault from the land and sea at the same
time.
Meanwhile the rebel admiral's force was
Increased by the crew nnd oftlcers of the
gunboat Camocln , who declared in favor of
the revolutionists and put their vessel under
his command. The government tow boat
Manuel Diablo , while trying to enter the
harbor , was fired upon from the gunboat
Camocin.
General Saralva's battalions began massIng -
Ing back of the town yesterday and last
night the bombardment was opened.
Seized tha Telegraph Olllce.
The result of the fight Is not known because -
cause the government ofllccrs in Rio Grande
do Sul seized the telegraph olllco nnd refused
to allow messages to bo sent.
There is much alarm In Montevideo over
the report of 'the preat troubles in Rio do
Janeiro. The censorship placed on the tele
graph wires by the Brazilian government
makes it impossible to confirm the report , but
tlio situation has been serious for some time
nnd it would not be surprising if the story
should prove true. The Kerala's correspond
ent in Buenos Ayres , Argentine , telegraphs
that Colonel Gil has been sent to La
Plata to enforce the decree recently is
sued , requiring the alsarmament of military
forces in the various states. The governor
of La Plata is willing to disarm the state
forces , but the state legislature Is resolved
that this shall not bo done. Members of
the Chamber of Deputies , of the state have
asked the Argentine federal congress to
annul the dccrco for disarmament , and gen
eral trouble is feared
A dispatch from the Herald's correspond
ent at Montevideo says that the Uruguay
congress has made an appropriation of an ad
ditional $10,000 for the exhibit of Uruguay
at the World's fair.

PANAMA. Colombia ( via Galvcston , Tox. ) ,
July 11. [ By Mexican Cable to the New
York Herald Special to TUB Br.c. ] The
-attempt of M. Mango who represents the
liquidator of the Panama Canal company to
dispossess the squatters on lands between
Panama and Colon , claimed to bo
included in the concession to the
canal company , has caused great excite
ment and is the subject of some interesting
correspondence with the government of
Colombia. In the village of Gorgono the
canal agent notified the entire population ,
including the local judge and mayor , to move
out. These officials appealed to the gov
ernor of Panama. The covernor declared
that M. Mango had no right to evict the
squatters on the lands in Gorgono on the
ground that the property had never been
formally demanded by the company for the
use of the canal.
The Herald's ' correspondent in Guatemala
writes that General Tcrrencio Sierra , ono of
the leaders in the recent revolution In Hon
duras , Is still in that country awaiting a
chance to return to his own country and
renew the fighting. In an Interview General
Sierra denied the story that ho had quar
reled with General Bonilla , who organized
the revolt. Ho said ho had 'never accused
Bonilla of being n coward. Ho believed ,
however , that the revolution failed on ac
count of Bonilla's hick of firmness in dealing
with the provisional authorities In Teguci
