THE SITUATION.

MI.VSKAI-OI.IS, Jlinn., June 7.—The republican national convention will meet for organization to-day. It is not expected that a ballot will be taken tiefore Thursday. The Blaine faction has won the lirst skirmish in the selection by the national committee of J. Sloat Fassett, of New York, for temporary chairman of the convention.

Dark IIOTKOH.

While the lenders of both 'actions continue to declare that tUuir cantndates will win easily oil the lirst ballot there has been much talk of a third man upon whom the warring factions could unite. In this connection McKin-

ley, Alger, Allison and Cullom figure to some extent. Tho great convention hall was formally opened Monday night with a grand concert, followed by an interesting talk from the lips of Chauneey M. Depew. lloth In tlio Race.

During Monday and Monday night the excited crowds at Minneapolis wcro victims of wild rumors affecting the oandidacy of Blaine or Harrison. The delegates were assured that both these men were in the. race to stay until it was over. Mr. Harrison tried to hide his anxiety by attending a ball game in Washington. Mr. Blaine was at home and received a few callers, but the date of liis proposed visit.to Bur Harbor was not announced, lloth men were in communication by telegraph with their lieutenants ou the field of battle.

Small Cluiure Tor Dark Horse*/ .' The prevailing opinion is that the figlit will not be one of dark horses, but that P.lainc and Harrison will lie the only candidates presented to the convention and that the battle will be short and decisive. It is believed that lilaine is the strongest man who can bo pitted against Harrison, and among the I'.laine leaders all suggestions for a compromise candidate are promptly discouraged. The Harrison people also ollieially disclaim all thoughts of a dark horse, but should they bo reduced to the necessity of abandoning tho president there is little doubt their next choice will fall upon Sherman or McKinley. From the ranks of the great multitude of uncommitted and harmony-seeking republicans there has suddenly sprung up a strong movement for McKinley as a compromise candidate.

What the Figures Show.

Each faction keeps its mathematician and is prepared lit. all times to convince the doubting delegates of the certainty of the success of eaeh candidate. The latest Harrison estimate gives Harrison 470 and Blaine 417 votes. That of the Itlaine managers gives Blaine 459 and Harrison 415 votes.

First lllood for Ulalno.

When the national committee met Monday morning it became early manifest that a compromise over the selection of the temporary chairman would be very difficult indeed. The candidate of the Blaine members of the committee was J. Sloat Fassett, of New York. But tho Harrison people very vigorously objected to the selection of Mr. Fassett. They stated that they thought some one should bo chosen who, if not identified, ought not to be one of the leaders on either side of the presidential contest. Mr. Clarkson and the other Blaine members final' ly expressed their willingness to select Mr. McICinley as the temporary chairman, but some one stated that the Ohio governor did not desire to bo con sidered a candidate for this honor, and as he was generally understood to be very likely to be selected for the higher honor of permanent chairman no further attempt was made to compromise on his name.

The president's friends suggested Senator Cullom, of Illinois, as a man who ought to be suitable to all parties, but the Blaine men promptly objected to the selection of the distinguished Illinoisan. They contended that every objection which could be urged against Mr. Fassett was equally strong against Senator Cullom. All efforts to arrive at an amicable agreement seemed impossible, and when the committee met again at I) p. m. the Indications were that a decisive fight would be necessary to settle tln» question and that the result would Indicate whether Blaine or Harrison were the stronger in the national committee.

KMMHOM CliiMen.

When the night session assembled the Harrison men made their fight in the national committee on Fassett and the Jesuit was a defeat by a vote of 21) votes for Fasfcett to 120 for Cullom, so that Fassett will be temporary chairman of the national convention. This was a test vote and shows that the Blaine men are in control of the .committee. The defeat was accepted and the nomination made unanimous.

The vice presidency, for the first time, was discussed Monday, and while Rusk and Alger were the names most frequently mentioned, William Warner, of Missouri, cx-eongressinau,ex-command-er in chief of the O. A. K., and now the republican nominee for governor of Missouri, was spoken of. Minnesota lias two favorite sons who are strongly spoken of at present among the delegates. These arc Senator W. D. Washburn and Senator C. K. Davis.

Oen. Alger'ii Position.

The positive denial of Oen. Alger of the report'that he had withdrawn from the contest has had a stimulating effect upon the Harrison people, as it is generally understood that much if not all of tho Alger following will go for Blaine when the Michigan candidate is out of the field. In reality there is no change in tho position that Con. Alger occupies. He has telegraphed the leaders of the Michigan delegation, Congressman Burrows, Col. Dufliold and Senator Stockbridgo, that he leaves his Interests in the hands of his friends and desires them to act at all-times as the exigencies of the situation may warrant. This is generally understood arid is lu fact conceded by most of the Michigan delegation to mean that if the vote of Michigan is needed to nominate Blaine on the first ballot

Alger is out of the race. Should the convention, however, show an Inclination to drop both tho chief contestants and seek a compromise candidate, Gen. Alger is very earnestly and emphatically a candidate.

Tho Michigan delegation at the meeting Monday morning decided to present the name of Mr. Alger to the convention.

Clarkson Reelected Committeeman, MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., .Tune 7.—Clarkson has been reelected Iowa national committeeman unanimously. The Blaine forces arc .-cheering over the result, which they regard as favorable to tlieir candidate.

Ilartk Not a Candidutr.

WASHINGTON, Juno 7.—Secretary Rusk took occasion on Monday to deny the story that an effort had been made to induce him to allow the uso of his name for second place on the presidential ticket with Mr. Blaine. "There is no truth whatever in the announcement," said Mr. llusk, emphatically. "My name cannot tic used cither singly or in combination against the president, and no friend of mine will suggest such use." v".-

Harrison Will Stay.

WASHINGTON, June 7.—"President Ilarrison will stick to his llag until it is stained with gore in defeat or planted firmly in victory on the ramparts of the opposition. He will remain a candidate before the Minneapolis convention if he has only ten delegates behind him." This was the defiant announce' merit made Monday at the conclusion of the conference between the presi» dent and his advisers, and relleets the views of members of the administration in chargc of the president's cam l'aign.

PENNSYLVANIA'S WOE.

On. CITV, Pa., June 7.—As each hour passes horrors odd to horrors. Not only were the first reports of Sunday's disaster not exaggerated, they wcro not large enough. Constant additions arc being made to the death list. Eightyseven are now accounted for and the search is not half finished. Mayor Hunt estimates the death loss in Oil City alone at 150, but these figures bid fair to le too small.

There were between '250 and 800 houses destroyed, besides tho various hotels, works and manufactortbs. While the financial loss is hard to estimate at this time It is certain to reach SI,250,000, or even go beyond that figure.,--

Flro Darned Itself Out.

At 0 o'clock Monday morning the fire had burned itself out and the burning oil had passed away. The creek and river arc, however, rising and much of thin place will still further be flooded, but there is little left along the crock which the flood can damage. The fire lias left nothing on which the waters may prey. The rising waters have interfered with recovering the bodies of the victims in Oil City proper. The fiery flood destroyed 1 mile of property along the creek on the west side. Across the creek from the main portion of the city not a house Is standing between the crcelt and the hill, and not a vestige.of life can be seen except the many searchers for the dead. Along the east side from the mouth of Oil creek for a distance of a mile overy building except one along the creek has been destroyed. This strange monument to tlio dealli-dealing flood Is a frame dwelling house standing among the ruins. It was in the midst of the flood and fire and it was passed by. The curtains on the windows and the noon meal stand on the table, but the former occupants are among the dead. Ou the east side the greatest damage is along the street.

Iliiilli-d llurned Almost to Cinders. The. seareh for the dead was resumed at daybreak. The bodies are lying in the city hall and a temporary morgue on the south side. The scene is almost too much for endurance. Burned out of all semblance to human bodies, In position^ showing the terrible ligony before death came, are a few of the victims. Many have been swept away and will novcr be found. When the flood subsides it will reveal scores of bodies. At one point alone ten are known to have given in to the burning flood. Konc of them have been found.

Over 300 homeless people arc being taken care of, and the Presbyterian church is being used as a temporary house. Heartrending and pitiful sights meet one everywhere and talcs of heroism and desperate fights with the two destroying elements are heard.

Itc4*ov«rliig tho Dead.

At a late hour stxty-soven bodies had been taken from the ruins. Those who are acquainted with the locality where the greatest damage was done say the loss of life must reach at least 150, and many put the figures at 200. The number of bodies recovered gives no fair estimate of the number lost. The section where the loss of life is greatest was largely occupied by foreigners employed in the tube works. No one knows their names and It will be impossible to ever learn just how many arc missing. In this section,' also, were a vast number of children. Of all the bodies recovered only ten were children, and the great question is, what has become of the rest of them?

Aid Rclng Promptly Furnished. Unbounded gratitude is felt and expressed by the relief committee hero over the unsolicited and generous subscriptions and offers of aid from outside persons. The committee has In hand over 812,000, nnd the answers to Inquiries received will swell the subscriptions to double this sum. Already there have been requests for aid from 800. and this number is slowly being swelled. This by no means represents the total number of suffers, as many of them have friends here who have provided for them. Among the citios which have elthor sent subscriptions or made inquiries relative thereto are Pitts ourgh. New York, Toronto, Buffalo, Philadelphia, Rochester, Jamestown, Syracuse, Albany, Harrisburg, Altoona, Erie, Cleveland, Columbus, Sandusky, Chicago, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, Minneapolis, St. Louis, St Paul, San Francisco, Denver, Baltimore, Washington.

The question of insurance is a most serious one, and adjusters are already on the ground. Tho total insurance Is about SH00,000, and the insurance loss is over 8140,000.

Stories of Keacner*.

The story told by Barry McVeagh, a member of a rescuing party which saved a dozen lives, surpasses in horror many of them related by persons who worked in bringing corpses out of ruins and his words indicate that he believed many of those saved alive would lie better with tho dead they are so horribly wounded and burned. He, with Wade Bullngs, William Couch and Albert Smith, went over the creek In a skiff after the fire had all died off its surface, and to the foot bridge crossing at the lioad of Soneea street they found eleven persons clinging. "Their condition was lioauble," said McVcagli. "I wish I could close my eyes and shut out the sight. Their clothing was burned off their bodies, their hair was singed and the eyes, even, in some of them were burned out, yet some of them will live. They cluug to us as we took them from the

bridge and into our boat, nnd the cries they sent up were the most pitiful that ever reached my ears. There were seven men and four women, and the appearance of the latter was particularly distressing. We have eared for them the best we can, but God pity them."

ABflOUUTEUr PURE

A Hero's rate.

One of the heroes who gave his life for that of others was William L. Stewart, of Biverlyville, a small village about a mile up Oil creek. When the disaster occurred Stewurt ran to his home In Sivorlyville and dragged: a boat to the water's edge. He' braved the death that moved on the waters, and was one of those who! helped to save the west side victims. For an hour he helped to drag people out' of the houses on the bank of Oil creek, and bore them in his boat to safety. A great wave of naphtha approached over Stewart's head, a a house cracked and in an instant he was engulfed in a mass of mortar and flame. He died at his post almost in the very act of snatching lives from the ruging element**. IliB body was fear-j fully battered and'burnod. Ho leaves a wife and two children. I

Clitme to Die wltli Ills Agod Mother. John O'Leary, whose life and his mother's were blotted out, had just as-1 suined the position made, vacant by the death of Messenger Metz, who was killed in the railroad disaster at Foster a few days ago. When tho flood and fire struck tho O'Leary home John tried to save his mother, who was almost 80 years of age, hut, faillug, he calmly! sat down by her side and mother and son faced death together.

Pitiable Mights Aiuong tho Mourners. Many of the bodies were in such a condition that they had to bo buried Monday. It is a pitiful sight to witness families senrehing in the water and smoking ruins for lost loved ones. Groups of weeping men, women and children dig and hunt for lost onus, and when found their grief is indescribable. There were never sadder scenes, not even at Jolinstowu. Here hundreds are maimed and burned to death, while at Johnstown the number of injured was comparatively small. Many of the injured have lost a leg or an arm through the fire ears and nosos have been burued off, burned and blistered, and still tho victims live and suffer.

The Hltuiitlon Hi Tltusvllle. TITUBVILLK, Pa., June 7.—People are just beginning to realize the extent of the awful calamity wrought by fire and flood upon, this city. Tho scene of desolation Is terrible. Soon after daylight appeared the sight of men carrying dead bodies through the streets on stretohers became so common as to occasion no surprise. At the present writing it is estimated that fully 250 persons have been either drowned or burned to death. The money loss will run from SI,(Kill,000 to 83,000,000. An idea of the amount of territory covered by the flood and fire can be obtained when it is stated that over 2 miles of property were destroyed. This includes railroads, factories, refineries, and private dwellings,1 etc.

A total of fifty-five bodies had been recovered np to 10:30 o'clock p. in. The work of searching for the dead Is still being prosecuted with the utmost vigor, as the weather is beginning to grow warm and the odor of tho charred remains of human Mesh and animals is buginnlng to pollute the air.

Boekefeller Helps the HulTerers. It is reported on' reliable authority that John D. Rockefeller, president of the Standurd Oil Company, has instructed Joseph Seep, the buyer for the Standard Oil Company here, to draw on him for 8100,000 for the relief of the sufferers in tlils'district.

Hundreds of families are homeless and great distress prevails. Assistance is needed and that quickly, as, while those remaining are doing all in their power to aid the suffering and altlictcd, they have not the means ut their command to continue the assistance. Clothing and food arc both essential. Committees have been organized to make systematic arragements for the care and comfort of the destitute living and for the proper interment of the dead.

ITnlon-Clty Flooded.

ERIK, Pa., June 7.—Sunday evening Clark's milldam at Union C-lty burst and a wall of water swept through the town, carrying thirty houses from their foundations, and, while many persons were hurt, none lost their lives. Hundreds of horsea and cattle were drowned. The-damage will reach not lets than 8100,000. The towns of Garland, Pittsfleld, Columbus and many other placcs are under water.

HATCH WINS MIS FLOJIT.

WASHINGTON, June 7.—lu tlie house Monday after a roll-eall for a quorum Mr. Hatch (Mo.) moved to suspend the rules and pass the anti-option bill. A second having been ordered, Mr. Culberson (Tex.) asked unanimous consent that the debate be extended to two hours, but thirty minutes being allowed under the rules, anil Mr. lilanclinrd objected. Mr. Hatch in sup•port of the measure said it would put a stop to the practice of dealing in farm products not, based on the ownership of property or on the rights derived from the owner to sell it for future delivery.

Mr. Rainer (Md.) protested against rushing a bill of this importance through under a suspension of rules. It was one of the most dangerous measures that had ever made its appearance in this body. It destroyed every conception of state sovereignty, and would, carried to it.s logical conclusion, break down the distinctions between the federal and state governments.

Mr. Castle (Minn.) thought tho bill should be entitled "a bill to depress the value of all products raised by the farmers."

Mr. Patterson (Tenn.) regarded it as an abuse of the taxing power. Mr. Taylor (111.), Mr. Barter (O.) and Mr. Stout (Mich.) opposed tho bill.

Mr. Henderson (la.) declared that this was a battle between the great money centers aud the great mass of producers. This same conflict, about the constitution had been fought over the oleomargarine bill and the. question lyul been settled. The bill provided for revenue with incidental protection, and that waa broad enough for all. Congress had stricken down the Louisiana lottery, whose victims were- voluntary. Would It refuse to strike down tho greater evil, whose victims were involuntary anil who protested against the crime?

The motion was agreed to—yeas, ITS nays, 40—and accordingly the bill was passed.

The first two sections of the bill define "options" and "futures:" the third names, as the articles to which they shall relate, "cotton, hops, wheat, corn, oats, rye, barley, grass seed, flaxseed, pork aud other edible products of swine," and the fourth Imposes a license of Si.mm on dealers in options and futures and a tax of five cents on eaeh pound of cotton, hops, pork, lard, bacon and other edible products of swine, and twenty cents a bushel on eaeh bushel of the other articles which are the subject of any "options" or "future" contract which such dealer or vender shall make, cither in his own behalf or iu behalf of others.

Mr. Bryan IXeb.) moved to suspend the rules and pass a bill appropriating 850,000 for a pedestal for a monument to Gen. W. T. Sherman. The bill passed —144 to :i2.

To l.el 111 New Moiirn uml Arizona. Mr. Washington (Tenn.) moved a suspension of the rules and the passage of a bill admitting the territory of New Mexico into the sisterhood of states.
