Developments Itapfd.
Developments were rapid today In the
situation which was precipitated by the
telegrams of Mr. McNab on Saturday to
the president and the attorney general
accusing tho latter of yielding to "rich
and powerful Influences" In ordering a
postponement of these cases, the father
of one of the defendants being Anthony
Camlncttl, commissioner general If Im
migration. The subject absorbed the cabinet
meeting today and the president came to
his office tonight to moke public the
correspondence. First the president
telegraphed Mr. McNab as follows:
"WASHINGTON, D, C. June 2t, Mil-
John h. McNab, Esq. : San Frnaclsco, Cat,
I greatly regret that you should have
acted so hastily and under so complete
a mluapprehenslon of the actual cir
cumstances, but since you have chosen
such a course, and have given your
resignation the form of an Inexcusable
Intimation of Injustice and wrong doing
on the part of your superior, I release
you without hesitation and accept your
resignation to take effect at once.

BUFFALO, N. Y.. June 25. Official
checking of the list of employes of the
Hueated Milling company, whose elevator
was blown up by a dust explosion yes
terday, shows, besides the eleven known
victims, twenty-six men are still unac
counted for and are believed to be In the
ruins.
Three bodies were dug out of the
smoldering ruins of the Hursted Milling
company elevator today, two mora
visible In tho debris and two of the vlo-
tlmH succumbed to injuries, brlnln h.
total of the dead list from the explosion
and fire up to eleven. The bodies re
covered today were so badly charred
that identification was impossible.
Anthony Krueger and WlUlam wid.
kowsky, both of whom were frightfully
burned, died at the emereencv homltio.
and of tho sixty explosion victims In the
nospitais, many are so Injured that re
covery Is not expected.
High up In a shattered eiinnln nr h
mill two companies of firemen are bat
tling to recover two and possibly more
bodies of dead men. From the upper
windows of the concrete section of the
elevator and from the Elk street viaduct
the bodies ate plainly visible. Great
clouds of smoke from the burning ruins
below make the recovery of the bodies
atincuit
Just how many bodies are In the cupola
r.etther the police nor the firemen are
able to say with certainty. No men were
at work there and It is believed those
who died there fled to the tower fol
lowing the explosion and were caught by
the flames.
Firemen poured streams of water on
the ruins all night, but the debrta Is piled
so high that It will be days before tt can
be cleaned and complete search made.
Cause or Explosion.
The explosion was caused by the puff
ing of dust accumulations In the feed
house and was of frightful force, tear
ing out the wall of the wooden structure
and breaking windows for a qiiarter of
a mile around. John Conroy, engineer of
a switch engine, was blown from Mm rot.
and received internal Injures from which,
ne died.
Several windows in cars of a passing
Nickel Plate passenger train were broken
by the explosion and one of the pas
sengers was Injured.
The body of Henry Vetter was blown
fifty feet and was found under a box
car nearby badly burned. A boy, while
running to the fire, wna run over by an
automobile and killed.
A dozen box cars loaded with grain
were destroyed. The elevator had a
capacity of 600,000 bushels. H was of old
wooden construction and with Its con
tents was totally destroyed. Officials of
the company estimated their loss at
