WHOM SHALL IT Hi:?

MINNEAPOLIS, .1 LIno -I.—The arrival on the ground of the advance guard of tlio republican national committee has resulted in transferring the seene of action from the convention committeo headquarters to the West hotel. All the indications go to show that within the next few days standing *v..nn in the rotunda will he at a premium.

Harrison or iiluinc.

Thus f:ir the signs all point to the fnct that the contest for the nomination will be between the friends of Harrison ami Hlainc. The dark horses are not talked of. Messrs. Clarkson and Fassett have disposed of ene of the most prominent of the talked-of compromise candidates to their own satisfaction. They say that (icn. Alger is for Hlaine, and hint that lie will throw his strength to the magnetic inan from Maine.

The Harrison crowd has taken possession of the West hotel and the boom of the present incumbent, of the white house is being worked for all there is in it. At Fair Oaks, the palatial residence of Senator Washburn, Messrs. Clnrkson, Fassett, I lanshrough, Conger and Payne and others were dined by the senator. The Hlaine men have not yet opened the battle and the president's followers practically have the field to themselves. The Indianians are working tooth and nail. Ten thousand Harrison badges have been distributed and Maine's letter to Chairman Clarkson printed in circular form is being circulated by hundreds.

ClaintH of the Candidate**' Friend*.

Cn Thursday afternoon ex-Senator Pierce, of North Dakota, and a few delegates from Minnesota and-North Dakota- had a conference in John C. Now's room, and it was announced that the president had ubout G.%0 instructed votes. This statement is viewed with incredulity by the Hlainc supporters, l'owoll Clayton, of Arkansas, said that the entire delegation from that state, with two exceptions, were for Harrison.

The Sioux Falls (Iowa) republicans have opened ltlaine headquarters and are preparing to push the canvass of tho secretary. The rumor that the Chicago Hlnine clubwould arrive Saturday instead of next Tuesday has had the elVect of stimulating the Maine men.

OUtc«?rt* of I he Convention. It is friMU'rnlly accepted that Gov. Wil'iam .Melvinlcy, of Ohio, will be perninnent chairman of the convention, lie is the choice of the Harrison clement, and. for political reasons, is not likely to be opposed 'y the ltlaine manatfers. Indeed, Col. Conner acknowledged that, it is quite probable McICinley will be the unanimous choice of all factions for permanent chairman. The governor has been apprised by telegTaph of his coming honors.

At the meeting' of the subcommittee of the national committee various gentlemen were discussed for the temporary chairmanship of the convention, but no selection will be made until the meeting of the full committee Saturday. E.x-Cou£ressman Lanpston, the colored orator of Virginia, seeuis to be tho most popular candidate and is being1 warmly pressed by J. Sloat Fassett, of NewYork. Fassett has declined to be himself considered a candidate for temporary chairman, and his advocacy of Lanpston, together with tho general desire to recognize the colored racc, makes the eloquent ex-congressman a formidable candidate. Oen. Ilorocc l'orter, of New York, ex-Speaker Reed, ex-Senator Ingalls and Congressman Burrows, of Michigan, have also been discussed.

Manlcy Is a Member.

One sensational incident of the day was a telegram from II. E. Southard, chairman of thellaine state republican committee, notifying Gen. Clarkson that S. Manchester Ilaynes, the Maine member of the national committee, had resigned, and that his place had been filled by the election of Joe H. Jtanley, cx-postma.ster of Au pnsta. Such was the plaiu announcement, bearing no great significance on Its face but much In its possibilities. "Manlcy will be made a membor of the executive committee," said Gen. Clarksou. It is repeatedly stated here that no man lives who sustains more confidential relations with Blaine than Joe Manley. lie was selected by Blaine to go on the triumphal tour though the states, and of all Blaine's Maine supporters Manlcy has been most devoted.

Depexv to Name Hnrrlflon.

John C. New. the acknowledged leader of l'resident Harrison's forces here, has intuit the announcement positively that Chauncey Depew would make the speech putting the president in noniinution in the convention. The task is assigned to cx-Gov. Forakcr of Ohio to present the name of Mr. Blaine in the convention.

An to tlm Vlc« I'roRiHfiicy.

A prominent delegate to the convention was asked the question Friday: "What of the vice presidency?" "In New York the sentiment generally is that in ease, of Harrison's renomination Morton should be given a show. lie may not desire it, and the second choice may lie Cornelius N. Bliss, of New York: at any rat«, giving Indiana the presidency, New York will ask for the sccond place."

favoring one presidential term will be inserteJ in the platform, or at least a strong and concerted effort will lie made to do so. The idea lias been very thoroughly discussed by the eastern party leaders, and the one-tonn idea as a new principle of the republican party is, according to information received, scheduled to be sprung before the convention begins balloting. That the convention will be called upon to pass such a resolution is established as a fact by an interview with ex-Gov. John S. I'illsbury, of this state. That gentleman said that the proposed provisions are that the constitul ion be so amended as to make the presidential term six years instead of four, and to disqualify a president of the United States from being his own successor to that office.

It is extremely probable that the republican national convention at Minneapolis will have presented to it a resolution favoring the §5,000.000 appropriation asked by the world's fair management. And from what is known of the opinions held by prominent republican leaders it is believed tho convention will adopt the resolution unanimously and enthusiastically.

It is an elaborate affair of carved oak, with a spread eagle for the back eagles' heads on the arms and eagles' claws on the legs, with the American shield and other appropriate emblems combined.

Blakely, the pilot, and two roustr abouts were picked up a mile from tho scene of the accident, having saved themselves by clinging to a log. The boat is a total loss. It was owned by the Merchants' Transportation Compa ny of this city. The river is unusually high and it was impossible for the pilot to steer away from the pier. The engineer (Hathaway) and his family, consisting of three children, were taken out more dead than alive.

Iv 1111-1! by ft Thunderbolt.

ScitANTO.w l'a., June 4.—A terrific thunder storm played havoc throughout Lackawanna county, Thursday night. It began in the early evening and continued until '1 o'clock, a. in. Three boys and one girl were struck by lightning. Two were killed outright and the others fatally injured.

When the storm first came up two Polish boys, Joseph and Casmir Clioniczky, were caught beneath a large oak tree in South Seranton. Casmir was part of the way up the tree while Joseph was standing beneath when the lightningstruck. Joseph was instantly killed and Casmir was set on lire by the electric fluid. 11c caught on one of the limbs of the tree and was frightfully burned before aid could reach liiin. He died ill a few hours.

In the llydc Park section a 3-year-old son of Sylvester Arnold was struck and his injuries are regarded, fatal. At Hliiihm-st, 7 miles east of this city, a girl named Andrews while seeking shelter under a tree was killed by a thunderbolt

Killed the IIOUHOH with Mu*l. -V':

InihANAi'Ot.is, lml., June 4.—The floods which have prevailed in this locality for three days began to subside early Thursday morning, and the waters along the streams have found their way into the channels, leaving the submerged houses filled with mud :i inches deep. When the occupants returned they found everything ruined, the beds, carpets and chairs covered with a thick coating of mud, the gravel streets entirely washed out and the brick pavements undermined and worthless until relald. The damage to the additions to the city alone is reckoned at not less than S100,000, nearly all of which must be borne by the laboring classes.

Cyclone In Ohio.

Si'iti.NOKiKi.n, O., June 4.—Word has just reached here of one of the most de-Mi-uctive cyclones that ever visited this section of the country. The disaster occurred Thursday afternoon in Moore-' field. Harmony and Springfield townships, and the damage to crops, forests, farm buildings and orchards will run up into the tens of thousands.

During a heavy thunderstorm two black clouds approached from the west ami came together seemingly on John Yea/ell's farm, about 4 miles from this city, in Springfield township. A wind at once arose, the electrical disturbance increased, and the country for miles around was lighted up. A heavy downpour accompanied the storm.

The cyclone was half a mile wide and cut down trees like a knife and literally tore the corn, wheat and oats out of the ground. The section of the country where the cyclone occurred is noted for its sugar camps, hundreds of oores being planted in sugar maple trees, nnd these were destroyed. Lewis Huffman's sugar camp was completely demolished. Jacob Ycazcll's barn completely wrecked. An orchard belonging to George Nicholson was runined and fences and outbuildings by the score were laid low.

The force of the wind may be judged from the fact that it tore up an immense old oak on John Yeazcll's farm and hurling it along in the air dashed it agaiust another oak, crushing it off, and then planted the oak top down in the ground some hundreds of yards away. No fatalities have thus far been reported.

Detroit Flooded.

DETHOIT, Mich., June 4„—For several days rain has been falling here at intervals, but Thursday night it liegnn to pour down, and within one hour and ten minutes 'J.40 inches had been precipitated in this city. The storm extended north along the cast shore of Lake Huron and south into Ohio. At Alpena 1.04 inches fell and at the "Soo" the record was about 1 inch. Reportsof damage by backing sewers, which were unable to carry off the immense volumes of water, are com inn- in from all parts of the city. Stores and rosidence cellars everywhere are flooded. The fire department received something like 100 calls for assistance in pumping out the water from the cellars about the city Thursday night. On many thoroughfares the car lines were covered to a depth of a foot or more, the cars running through water up to the steps. The total damage in Detroit, which is estimated to be up in the thousands, will not be known definitely for several days. Grand Rapids suffered severely by the heavy downpour of rain. The farms in the low lands thereabouts are under water, crops are beaten down, streams are swollen and roads are impassable because of mud. A heavy washout is reported.

Hundreds of I'uoplo Iloin«-lc«x. WATERLOO, 111., June 4.—The recent

damage caused by the floods in Monroe county is estimated at SU.S7.000. as follows: Crops, 8800,000 buildings and fences, S-S.OOO furniture, 810,000 stock,* $2,000 roads and bridgeR, W.000 smaller items, 83,000 railroads, 810,000 levees, locks and floodgates, 8100,000.

PllAODK, June 4.—Now*lhat the excitement hus died out to a great extent ami inijuirieS have been made among the survivors it is estimated that fully 400 of the employes lost their lives at the ilirkenberg silver mine.

It is estimated that more than '200 families, representing almost i,0lK) of the population of I'rzibnun, have been eft destitute and helpless by the accident. The clergy of the city have been i:i the flcld around the pit's mouth distributing money and food and free dinners will be given to the sufferers by the city authorities. Appeals for help have liecn sent out in all directions, and aliout 1,000 gulden is said to have been received from Prague alone. Kinperor Franz Joseph lias sent a contribution and has dispatched au ollieial from the department of the interior to make a special report on the disaster.

Much of the money will be used to bury the bodies of the dead miners, as their families are too destitute to pay the expenses of burial.

Five Students Killed.

Among those who were killed were five .students from the milling academy, who were studying the working of the mine to gain a practical knowledge of mining operations: Gas continues to form in great volumes iu the ufinc, and the- Maria shaft is so filled with it that the volunteers Who art" seeking to recover the bodies are greatly hampered in their work. In fact. it. is thought now that it will be a fortnight before all the bodies will be taken out. Trenches large enough to hold :150 bodies arc being dug in the church yards, in which the dead will be buried. Many of the dead will never be identified, and this adds to the sorrow and mourning that is so general throughout the district.

To Honor t'nfortnnate Heroes.

The "motion made In tin lower house of the 'Austrian reichsrath to have the imperial government aid the sufferers is very favorably commented upon, as is also tbe proposal to erect a monument ns a memorial to the four brave miners who lost their lives while trying to save their companions.
