If my heath should not permit me to attend to ifiy duties easily I should not hesitate to Five the bench, hut so long as I can ttOeiid to these duties with ease I have no intention of retiring. At present my [health is very good, but were I again as ill as I was last year, 1 should not hesitate to retire.” It is generally understiyl that Justice Field is ambitious to edp'ed the term of service of Chief Justice Marshall, whose 84 years on the sunremc bench constitute the longest term iif service in the history of the court.

St. liOcts, Jan. 22.—The national R< • publican committee’s subcommittee on convention, after a 2-days’ session here, finally completed its business, signed the contract with the business mens’ league for the care of the Republican national convention to be held June 16 and adjourned sine die yesterday evening. Joseph Manley, chairman of the subcommittee selected by the national committee, speaking for and in liehalf of every member of the subcommittee, said that the arrangements had licen perfected for the convention to the entire satisfaction of all. Th(> citizens of St. Lonis are to bear \ the entire expense attending the eon-1 vention and the national committee is , to bear no portion of the expense or to j have the expenditure of any of the money necessary for the carrying out of the convention arrangements.

It is thought wisest i and best, in order that there might no no misunderstanding, to have this delinately settled. The citizens’ committee, however, will provide rooms for the meetings of the national committee for transacting its official business in couni ctiou with the convention.

atoms.

At the time of the explosion there were in the building 40 persons, incluo ing tli" factory hands and the ortice clerks. The building was a 4-story brick structure. As soon us the report was heard, the workmen rnshod for their lives. In an instant the building was filled with smoke, steam and .lust and flames burst out with great violei -e, fanned by the draft of air admitted through the froi ‘ of the building which had been completely blown out. In a trice, the flames communicated to the whole building. The entire fire department, together with the reserves, was called to the scene, and it was three hours before the fire was under control. Meanwhile Hauser’s body had been found on the first floor. As the firemen arrived upon the scone, the tremendous crowd which had gathered was scattered by another explosion, not so vioh.it as the first. When the building cor’d be entered the search for dead bodies was begun. The roll was called and it was thought that all had been ae<■minted for. A little later, however, the firemen made their way thiough a mass of debris and came u]>ou two horribly burned bodies, those of Bookkeeper Stevens and Thomas Toot. ST. LOITS IT HEMKN KIU.KI).
