THE U. S. Semite is no longer Democratic when Lee Mantle, puolican of Montaua was sworn in as Senator Saturday, it gave the Republicans aud Populists combined, exactly the same number ot votes as the Democrats. After March 4th, when all the new Senators take their seats, the Democrats will be badly in the minority.

DURING the campaign of 1892 the Democrats made desperate efforts to secure control of this government aud promised to abolish the infamous McKinley bill and establish a freer trade, wipe out the 10 per cent tax on State bauk circulation and let such banks circulate a State or local currency so that money would be abundant. Taking these promises to be true, the Republican speakers predicted disaster to the country should the Democrats gain control, and to prove tneir statements they showed what the state of the country was under Buchanan, the last Democrat president before Cleveland when such conditions did prevail. To show the distress of the country then, the speakers only had to read extracts from Buchanan's State papers and messages. To show to future voters the dire distress ot the couiitry during Cleveland's administration, it would only be necessary to read some of his mournful calamity messages to Cougiess or open letters to Congressmen, saying the country has lost confidence in the Democrat party aud that financial matters are panicky.

County Officers' Salaries.

Under the fees and salary law which was recently declared unconstitutional BO far as Auditors, Treasurers aud Recorders were concerned Hancock county officials were rated as follows:

Auditor $2200. Clerk |2000. Treasurer $1800. Sheriff $1800. Recorder $1400. But in the case of the Clerk, Sheriff and Recorder, their fees received in the office at the regular rates had to equal the amount of the salary allowed or they did not receive that amount, but only as much as the fees caine to. The fee bill which the present Republican legislature will probably pass, is generally taking $100 oil of the auditois salary aud adding It to that of the sheriff, who in most counties was poorly paid as compared •with other olIic:alf.

AMERICA'S LEADING REVIEW

To read The Forum is to keep in touch with the best thought of the day.

THE FORUM will take up for discussion, during 1895, an unusually wide range of timely and important topics by the most eminent writers in the fields of Politics, Finance, Sociology,

Literature, Religion, Art, and Science.

To be without The Forum is to miss the best help to clear thinking.

A catalogue of t.lio writers who liavc contributed articles to THE FORUM in the past would embrace practically every man of eminence in America, and most of those in Europe. A list of subjects treated would cover in the widest degree all topics of contemporaneous interest. TIIK I'OUUIM is therefore of inestimable value to auy

TERRIFIC EXPLOSIONS

One of Them Follows Another in Rapid Succession.

BOTH RESULT DISASTROUSLY.

A Number of People Injured, Several of

Them Fatally, in the Kiverside Furnace

STKCBKXVIIXK, O., Feb. 4.—Two explosions occurred yesterday at Riverside furnace in this city, injuring a large number of workmen, several of tliem fatally. The explosions were caused by stock'in the furnace settling and the accumulated gas between what had settled and was lianging above, blowing out tons of stock and bricks.

The first accident was a small explosion which occurred in the morning, when considerable stock was blown out, and the igniting is set fire to the clothes of Pat Timlin. He ran out of tlie factory and was rolled in the snow, iris blazing clothes torn oil' by William Burke. He is burned from head to foot, and is not expected to live.

The second explosion took pi nee early in the afternoon and was the worst, the material blown out wrecking the roofs of all the buildings as if they had been cannonaded. The explosion occurred at tlie hour when the whistle was blowing for work, and few men were around, or more would have been injured. .A score of men were burned or injured by firing missiles. The following are the worst injured:

Jack Dunn, shoulder blade broken, head cut, hurt internally. Michael Carrol, hair burned off, head aud face scorched, hit on the head with bricks.

James CaufTield. James Barrett. John Clinton. Fred Bowman. All were badly injured with flying I material.

The ground for 200 yards around the furnace is covered with brick, coke and other debris.

At the same time the ferryboat Quinta left Praia Grande in the direction of San Domingo, having aboard quite a large number of passengers. The alarm seems to have been given first aboard the Quinta by means of her steam whistle. The master pilot of the Quinta steamed quite close to the Terceira, now almost entirely ungovernable. He intended to run alongside near enough to save the passengers, who were in imminent danger of being burned to death.

But when nearly in striking distance of the burning wreck he was prevented by the cowardice of the passengers of the Quinta, who, in a large crowd, went rip to the pilothouse aud with drawn revolvers compelled him to abandon the people on the burning boat, who were, allowed to burn to death or throw themselves into the bay. A large number of launches and other craft hastened from the Rio side and attempted to save the drowning men, women and children, and many were thus rescued, but over 100 lives were unnecessarily lost.

Won Four Suits.

WILKESBAUKE, Pa., Feb. 4.—William Stuart, who claims to be a deseendent of William Penn, and is seeking to obtain possession of valuable land, which he asserts Penn bequeathed to his heirs, has won the first step in his fight. He has just succeeded in getting four judgments in the Luzerne county courts. They are against Hugh Williams, William Freeman, R. F. Watts and William H. Nash, who are in posssesion of property in Plymouth township. Stuart, whose residence is in London, came here about six months ago for the purpose of prosecuting his claim.

Famous Fool I'layer Dead.

NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—Charles H. Manning, the pool player, died at his home in this city yesterday from grip and pneumonia. Manning was 32 years old. He had the reputation of being one of the crack pool players in the country. Five years ago he won the title of champion by beating Albert Powers. Deor challenged Manning immediately and defeated him. During the latter

Eart

of this month, Manning was to ave played a match for $1,000 with Grant Eby of Springfield, Mass.

JLoas Covered by Insurance. CHICAGO, Feb. 4.—The commercial building in South Chicago, a 2-story brick building, burned yesterday evening. The fust floor was occupied by stores, while on the second floor there were a number of offices. Kress & Jenkins, the owners of the building, were the heaviest losers. Their loss is $25,000. Total loss is $50,000, covered by insurance.

llattery of Boilers Explode. MUSKEGON, Mich., Feb. 4.—The battery of two boilers in Gray Brothers' planing mill exploded last night. Tho boilerliouse, engineroom and drykiln were completely wrecked. John JohnBon, the watchman, was blown to atoms. The loss is estimated at $12,000, with no insurance.

Saw Dead ISodien in tlie Water. LONDON, Feb. 4.—The Dunkirk correspondent of The Standard says that the master of a Danish steamer that has arrived at that port reports that he saw number of bodies with life belts oil them floating off the Dutch banks.

DETAILS OF A DISASTER. I

Ilow Over a Hundred Lives Were Lost In the Water.

Rio JANEIRO, Feb. 4.—Following are the details of the burning of the ferryboat Terceira and the loss of over 100 lives, a brief account of which was cabled the Associated Press at the time of the disaster:

The Terceira, with over 300 passengers, left the Rio side of the bay at about 6 p. m. San Domingo was one of the points of disembarkation, where it landed perhaps 200 persons and received on board 50 others. Soon after backing out of the dock at San Domingo and turning toward Praia gGrane, another point on the Nict-lieroy side, it was discovered that the Terceira was on fire and burning rapidly.

FORECAST OF CONGRESS.

Probable Program of Both tlie Senate and House. WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—The senate will probably devote the week largely to discussion of the diplomatic and consul appropriation bill, and the greater number of the speeches will be based upon the financial situation and the senate amendment for the construction of a cable to the Hawaiian Islands, which

will in all probability reopen the entire Hawaiian question. Senator Allen expects to address the senate on Tuesday on his resolution for the investigation of the Alabama elections, and it is possible that that resolution may call out other speeches. They are liable to be cut short, however, by the calling up of the diplomatic bill, with its Hawaiian amendent aud the possibility of many speeches on the subject.

A contest is likely between th" friends of the bankruptcy, pooling and territorial bills for the time which may be available when the appropriation bills I and the Allen resolutions are not under consideration, but this will probably depend upon whether the Democratic steering committee shall lind itself able to agree upon a recommendation. Tlie supporters of the bankruptcy hill arestill determined that it shaii hold its place if possible, while the supporters of the pooling bill are jut as' eager to displace it. if they find an opportunity.

The probabilities now are, however, that but little, if any time, will be given to either of tiiese bills during the week.

It is possible that tlie finance committee may bring in a report of somekind oil the financial currency bills before it on Tuesday, and if it should do so the report may have the effect of adding zest to the debate on this question.

The latter half of the .Saturday session will be devoted to eulogies oil the late Senator Stockbridge.

Program of tlie House.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.—The question of legislation for the relief of the treasury will be again debated in the house this week. The administration financial bill introduced in connection with the president's special message as amended by the committee on banking and currency, will be called upon Tuesday, and according to the present program will be debated Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

It is not the present intention to bring in a special order to close the debate and bring the measure to a vote when the bill is brought up but to allow the debate to run for a day or two before bringing in the order.

Today will be given to the committeo on claims which has been shut out by tlie press of business for some time. The remainder of the week will be devoted to appropriation bills, of which the legislative, naval and general deficiency are yet undisposed of.

THE RAIL BROKE.

A Passenger C-sauh Hurled Down a Fifteen- Foot Embankment.

NEWTON, ills., Feb. 4.—A bad wreck of an extra freight train carrying a passenger coach on the Indiana and Illinois Southern railroad, two miles west of Oblong, occurred at 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon. The train was running, it is said, over double the schedule time when the rail broJce, plunging live cars, including the coach, down a 15-foot embankment.

Ford's Theater company, billed hero for this week, composed of 11 peoplo and two other passengers, were in tho coach.

The following were injured: Clint G. Ford, manager, arm hurt. George M. Adams, leading man, arm and hand badly cut internal injuries.

The three ladies escaped without injury. The coach and two of the cars area mass of ruins.

None of the passengers will die.

Fire in a Hotel.

PITTSBURG, Feb. 4.—An early morning lire at McKeesport, Pa., near here, destroyed the Hotel Columbia, Warren's wholesale commission house and a 3-story brick dwelling. The fire started in the kitchen of the hotel and spread so rapidly that the guests were compelled to leave in tiieir nightclothes. One man, whose name is not known, the register having been destroyed, is missing, and is believed to have been burned to death. The total loss is estimated at $75,000.

Had Hoys Go to Jail.

KANSAS CITY, Feb. 4.—Six boys, ranging in age from 9 to 12 years, have been arrested here for stealing gloves from the front of the Union Mercantile company's store. Everyone of the boys has served several terms in the county jail and Arthur O'Dell, the leader is 12 years old and has been in jail 20 times. The six boys were linked together and like a string of sausages were marched to Justice Spitz' court where they were each sentenced to 60 days iu jail.

Called Out and Murdered.' KENTON, Tenn., Feb. 4.—William Wisdom, a farmer, living three miles north of here, was called out last night by an unknown man who fired two shots, one of which took effect in Wisdom's stomach. As he fell his assailant beat him over the head and face, fracturing the skull and entirely severing one ear. Taking the murdered man's pocketbook the murderer escaped before the neighbors could come to the rescue. There is no ciew.

Schooner Wrecked.

ORMOND, Fla.,Feb. 4.—The two-mast-ed schooner Oliie, worked by John and Robert Scott of East Jacksonville, and bound from Melbourne to Jacksonville, was wrecked on the beach yesterday and went to pieces.
