The Slate for the Convention Officers
Remains About the Same, but There
Is Some Talk of a. Colored Man for
One of the Chairmanships.
MINNEAPOLIS, June 3.-—During the past
week nearly every train that has reached
this city has carried some of the forerunners
of the big convention crowd, and the first
actual delegates Were a breezy and enthu-
siastic half dozen Indiana boomers for the
president, and they have not hesitated to
make known what they thought of the on-
position. Indeed it is hinted that thin:
talk may hurt the candidate later, for some
things !_ were said that were very bitter,
and the men about whom they were spoken
are possessed of good memories.
The Harrison boomers were at first
thought to be the first delegates on the
grounds, but a single. Blaine man had come
into the city earlier. He was much more
peaceable, and his presence was not known
for some time. He comes from New Mex-
ico. However, the Harrison headquarters
were the first to be opened, and they Were
in charge of the chosen workers for their
chief. So the first day may be considered
as giving the advantage of position to the
president, for his interests were in the
hands of the same friends who managed his
canvass four years ago.
Clarksou on the Ground.
Chairman Clarkson and other members of
the national committee arrived later on a
special car attached to the St. Paul and
Milwaukee’s limited from Chicago. The
Harrison men had things all their own way
before their arrival, but with the Clarkson
party are some of the strongest Blaine
- boomers.
There had been much done before the ar-
rival of the first visitors, and those who are
now coming to the city are appreciating it
all. Here is one of the finest convention
halls in the history of political conventions
in America, within less than ten minutes’
walk of the business center, well lighted,
with almost perfect dboustics, all conceiv-
able conveniences for the press, including
not only ample desk and wire arrange-
ments, but also separate entr noes at the
rear of the hall for the no paper corre-
spondents.
One thing especially noticeable is the care-
ful way in which the Minneapolitans have
avoided showing any preference for any
man over the other. In the decoration of
the convention hall there were used no pic-
tures of party leaders, for the reason that
the local committees had pledged them-
selves that they would in no way show any
preferences, and such decoration was so con-
sidered.
Convention Candidates.
The candidates for the chief office in the
convention are about the same that they
have been for several weeks. Reed 01
Porter for temporary chairman and McKin-
ley for the permanent presiding officer are
talked of a great deal, but all of that is a:-
yet very unsettled. The national commit-
tee meets on Saturday and settles on the
temporary officers. There has been a
strongly expressed opinion that the conveu.
tion should have a colored Republican as
either temporary or permanent chairman.
Whether anything will come of the sugges-
tion remains to be seen.
The leading candidate for secretary has
been C. W. Johnson, of Minneapolis, the
secretary of the United States senate, but
last night there was some expression of
opinion against him by Washington corre-
spondents on the ground that he was not a
good reader. There is not any other equal
1y prominent candidate for the place yet
mentioned.
FRANK H ATTON’S SUGGESTION.
He Thinks That Both Blaine and Har-
rison Should Now Be Dropped.
CHICAGO. June 3.—Ex-Postmaster Gen-
eral Frank Hatton in an interview on the
presidential situation said: “I believe the
men who are opposing Harrison, and who
say they are for Blaine, can defeat the for-
mer and nominate the latter at Minneapolis,
unless Mr. Blaine should have a pain in his
head or stomach betwoen this moment and
the meeting of the convention. Suppose
Mr. Blaine should defeat his present chief
and be nominated; do you suppose the hu-
miliated administration and its friends are
going to pass through sleepless nights to
Politics is not a. thing of
tears and sentiment. It is cold blooded,
with a. knife up its sleeve and a razor in its
boot. Should Harrison defeat Elaine and
secure the nomination, party managers and
workers are already on record as saying
that he cannct be elected and that they
will do nothing to help him.”
“What then do you think should be done?"
“Drop both men over whom the party is
divided into bitter and relentless factions
and unite upon some great, strong, Vigor-
one man who can and Will get the united
vote of the party. I do not believe either
Harrison or Blaine can get a united and en-
thusiastic support in view of the bitterness
that hisgrown up between their friends
and individual supporters.”

A HUNDRED TAKEN OUT DEQD.
And as Many More Miners Imprisoned in
Przibram's Flaming Pit.
VIENNA, J uue 3.——0ne hundreda bodies
have been recovered from the pit of deatt
at Przibram. It is believed that not less
than 100 are still in the silver mine, and
there is no hope that even one is alive
Even if some of the imprisoned miners had
survived the fire it. was certain that the
smoke and heat must have smothered them
As each body was delivered on the our
face there was a rush to identify it, and the
police had hard work to maintain order,
especially as they were under directions not
to use any violence. When a body was rec-
ognized loud screams pierced the air, and
the Women and children threw themselves
on the body. The scene was most pitiful,
and even the hardened policemen were
moved to tears.
There is no doubt that the fire is still rag
ing in portions of the mine, and engines con-
tinue to pump water into the depths.
A WARRANT FOB BOYER’S ARREST.
’_ .
Pennsylvania’s Ex-Treasurer Accused by
Err-Senator Rutan—The Quay Charges.
HARRISBURG, J une 3,—Ex-Senator J ames
S. Rutan has brought information against
err-Treasurer Henry K. Boyer before Alder-
man Maurer, of this city, charging unlawful
use of the state funds while in office.
The bill of information charges the ex-
treasurer with placing $600,000 in the Alle
ghany National bank, $100,000 in the Enter-
prise National bank, of Alleghany, and
$200,000 in the Beaver Falls Savings bank.
From the Alleghany National bank the
bill declares he received $11,000 for the use
of the funds. No amount is specified for
the other two. A warrant has been placed
in the hands of a detective for Mr. Boyer’s
arrest.
Charges of a. different nature are to be
brought against Senator Quay.
Rutan says that he will produce letters
written by Quay in which he offers bribes
and gives away some party secrets nevei
before revealed.

WICHITA, Kan., June 3.-—A passenger
train was held up by masked robbers at the
stock yards in the Cherokee strip. The

then entered the express car, broke open
the safe, secured $50,000 and escaped.

EVENTS [WASHINGTON
Senator Turpie Attacks Reciprocity
and the McKinley Bill.
All Interest Now Centers in the Coming
Convention -— Blaine and Harrison
Receive Numerous Visitors and
Each Keeps the Wires Hot.
WASHINGTON, June 3.—The hegira to
Minneapolis depleted the attendance in the
,senate, only twenty senators being present
when Senator Manderson, of Nebraska,
called that body to order.
Mr. Allison moved that when the senate
adjourn today, it meet again on Monday
next. Agreed to.
Mr. Vest, of Missouri, gave notice that he
would call up the free wool bill on Monday
and submit remarks thereon, and Mr. Mor-
gan, of Alabama, said that on Tuesday he
would speak on the silver bill.
Mr. Turpie, of Indiana, spoke on a resolu-
tion calling on the secretary of state for in.
formation regarding reciprocity with Hayti,
Colombia and Venezuela. He prefaced his
remarks by stating that the chief executive
and his premier (Mr. Blaine) seemed to be
running a race in the last congress as to
who should first receive credit for inau-
gurating the tariff reciprocity scheme, but
neither of these statesmen could lay the
slightest claim to the discovery of that pol-
icy. Treaties were made and carried into
effect regarding the tarifl long before the
beginning of the century.
Mr. Turpie said the far most important
reciprocity treaty was made between Eng-
land and France in 1860. It was like a mod-
ern tariff law of the United States, embrac-
ing every conceivable article of traffic.
Concerning the recent reciprocity treaties
negotiated by this government, Mr. Turpie
said the secretary of state had come to our
relief as a taxing power. “VV’hosoever
taxes he remits, they are remitted; whoso-
ever taxes he retains, they are retained.”
The Tarifl' Attacked.
The president, continued Mr. Turpie,
could not make a. treaty in any other way
than that allowed by the constitution. It
could not be a treaty unless approved by
the senate, no matter whether it had the
authority of an act of congress or not. He
was not sure What these negotiations should
be called. They were not treaties. They
were not warranted by any act of authority.
It might be said that they were author-
ized by the assent of the senate to the
McKinley bill, but the senate had one way
of assenting to a revenue bill and another
way of ratifying a treaty. The whole reci-
procity scheme was like shipping corn to
Barcelona for the purpose of building cas-
tles in Spain.
Mr. Turpie said the president’s reciprocity
proclamations were heavily loaded, but
they missed fire. He did not believe that
commercial prosperity was to be afforded
by the establishment of a round of com-
mercial speak-easies. This administration
trembled at the thought of “real reciproci-
ty.” Its reciprocity did not deal with bar-
rels or bales, but with ballots. Its purpose
was to divert the minds of the people from
the iniquities of the tarifi’.
Mr. Turpie made a. bitter attack on the
McKinley bill. “But,” he said, “credit
should be given to some of the claims of its
supporters. There had been an increase of
wages and work in one class under its pro-
visions-the Pinkerton detectives—Who had
thrived by. the strikes and other troubles
caused by the measure.”
Mr. Stewart’s free coinage bill was then
taken up.
In the house Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, from
the committee on agriculture, reported the
agricultural appropriation bill, which was
ordered to be printed and recommitted to
the committee.
Mr. Kern (Incl), of Nebraska, secured
unanimous consent for the consideration
and passage of a bill granting to the town
of Sidney, Neb., twenty acres of the Fort
Sidney military reservation for cemetery
purposes.
Mr. Knight (Dem.), of Kentucky, from the
judiciary committee, reported favorably
Mr. Stone’s resolution, calling upon the
chief justice for information regarding the
administration of the supreme court, which
was agreed to.
On a demand for the regular order the
house then went into committee of the
whole, Mr. Buchanan (Dem.), of Virginia, in
the chair, on the postofiice appropriation
bill. .
Harrison and Blaine Busy.
WASHINGTON, June 3.——Presid‘ent Har-
rison and Secretary Blaine were at their
desks quite early, the one in the executive
mansion and the other in the state depart-
ment- Both were busy. The president re-
ceived a. number of callers, among them
Congressmen Curtis of New York, O’Don-
hell of Michigan, Bergen of New Jersey,
Cogswell of Massachusetts and Huff of
Pennsylvania, besides a few Democratic
congressmen, who called on various errands.
While the president was receiving these
callers at the executive mansion Secretary
Blaine, a few hundred yards away, sitting
in his capacious room in the state depart-
ment, was receiving various members Of the
diplomatic corps, for it was “Diplomatic
, day," in ofiicial parlance. "
Among the ministers calling were those
from Russia, China, Denmark, Germany and
Portugal. But few other visitors saw
Secretary Blaine, and of those who did none
Were of special prominence. The president
and Secretary Blaine both received during
the day an unusual number of telegrams,
and the wires of the executive mansion and
the state department were kept hot.
Throughout departmental circles the
atest interest is manifested in the out-
come of the Minneapolis convention, it be-
ing agreed on all hands that there is .a. sufii-
cient element of uncertainty about it to
prevent an absolute forecast of the result. ,
Little else is discussed here and, in fact, ‘
little or no business of a public character is
Doing transacted.

THE LOSS FROM THE FLOODS
A Careful Estimate Shows That the Dam-
age Done from Kansas City to New
Orleans Is Fifty Million Dollars.
Thousands Beg for Food.
.Lo'r'r, Tex., June 3.—The vicinity of Du-
rango was visited by a terrible cyclone.
W. Y. McPherson’s place was struck first,
and wiped from the face of the earth. The
places of Philip Stevens, John Strawn, Lee
Farmer, Torn Farmer, J. M. Anderson and
J. P. Bolin were struck ind utterly demol»
ished, and Stevens, Strawn, Mrs. Bolin her
two children and Lee Farmer were hurt.
Tom Farmer’s child was injured and dead.
The next place, that of J. Grace, Ens an-
nihilated, but. Groce and his family were
secure in a stormhouse. Next in the path
of destruction was W. T. Weather’s house.
Mr. Weather’s wife and five children, and.
John Reeves, Wife and baby were all in
this house. Mr. Weather’s Wife and twc
children were killed, the other three chil-
dren being dangerously hurt. Mr. Reeve:
had his leg and collar bone broken. Mrs.
Reeves was severely hurt, and is still un-
conscious, while her baby escaped without
a scratch. Mr. Beeves’ place was next com-
pletely destroyed. Ed Bull’s place was next
in the path, and was destroyed, he being
crippled.
Utter Desolation in Its Path.
The house of Henry Childers (colored)
was next destroyed, and he and his two
children hurt, not. seriously. Utter desola-
tion, beyond description, is to be seen.
Huge houses were carried 200 yards. In one
place a new wagon axle thlmble was broken
like a pipe stem, and the wheel carried quite
a distance back in the direction from which
the storm came. The wagon tire was broken _
and the spokes and felloes were scattered
several hundred yards. .
A ceiling, identified by paint, was found
over five miles from home. Cotton was left
without leaf or limb. Chickens were picked
up and scattered along the route. The track
of the cyclone was about a quarter of amile
wide. A bed in J. W. Bolin’s house dropped
on the floor with cover and pillows undis-
turbed, while the bedstead from under it
was scattered to the four winds. The dead
and wounded were found in a. ravine among
debris some fifty yards from where the
Weathers house stood.
Reports received from the surrounding
country indicate that at least a dozen vil-
lages have been wrecked or totally demol-
ished, and the number of killed is placed at
betWeen fifty and sixty.
THE FLODD’S AWFUL SWEEP.
Fifty Millions of Dollars' Damage from
Kansas City to New Orleans.
ST. LOUIS, June 3.—-Now that the great
flood of 1892 has begun to pass away, an
estimate of the losses occasioned thereby
has been made from statistics gathered
from various boards of trade, exchanges,
etc, throughout the afilicted district.
Where exchange figures could not be ob
tained estimates from reliable correspond
ents have been utilized, and the total is
appalling, reaching $29,300,000, as folloWs:
Missouri’s wheat and corn destroyed (500,~
000 acres), $10,000,000 ;. homes mined, $1,000,-
000; cattle drowned, $50,000; railroad prop-
‘erty destroyed, $150,000. Total, $11,200,000
Tennessee—Cotton loss, $600,000; , wheat
loss, 1,200,000: homes and cattle, $100,000.
Total. $1,900,000.
Arkansas—Farms inundated, 9,338. Loss
as follows: Corn, $2,500,000; cotton, $5,000,-
000; other products, $2,500,000. Total, $310,-
000,000. Mississippi’s loss, $1,000,000; Louisi-
ana’s loss, $5,000,000: Kentucky’s loss, $200,-
000. Total loss, $29,300,000. '
This estimate does not include stagnation
in business among~ the merchants and trans.
portation lines. A conservative estimate
of the amount of damage caused by the loss
from the high waters from Kansas City to
New Orleans will reach the enormous figure
of $50,000,000.
Pitiable in the Extreme.
CAIRO, Ills, June 3.—By degrees the ac-
tual condition of the people in the north-
western portion of Alexander county and in
Missouri opposite is becoming known, and
it is pitiable in the extreme. The river is
rising again and hope for a corn crop must
be abandoned, as the season will be too late
by the time the water runs off. The sufit‘er-
ers near Wheatlaiid embrace more than 100
families, fully 500 people, who were mostly
tenants. They have lost absolutely every-
thing. Provisions were sent them from
here last week, but only enough for imme-
diate need. ‘
"A letter from Thebes says the distress in
that vicinity is increasing and will continue
to increase until the water is all gone. Sup-
plies of food will be sent from here, but
outside aid is needed. It is difficult to hear
from Missouri, owing to the water that
covers the bottom lands, but the tales of
distress that do come are pitiful.
A Thousand Hungry Families.
Munrnvsnono, 1115., June. 3.—The pres-
ent high water in the Mississippi rive:
reaches the highest point in the history of
the country for thirty years. Forty thou
sand acres Of land are submerged, destroy~
ing 1,000 acres Of growing crops and carry-
ing away dwelling houses, barns and fences,
leaving 1,000 families with nothing to keep
want from their door.
Fully 500 of the 1,000 families are tenants,
and have neither food nor clothing, and are
calling for aid from their more fortunate
neighbors. N 0 estimate can yet be put
upon. the property destroyed, but it will
reach far beyond anything ever known in
