To Be Responsible the Detroit Horror.

have now been recovered and identified, but the number changes frequently on account of new and ghastly discoveries brought to light in the ruins. The number killed will approximate 40. Thursday's developments demonstrate conclusively that negligent care of the boilers was the cause of the catastrophe.

Official inspectors and competent engineers examined portions of the boilers yesterday and pronounced the cause as low water, causing a superheated condition of the flues which was followed by the dangerous injection of cold water. Engineer Thompson's carelessness is strongly condemned. The engineer of The Free Press building states that he had previously warned Thompson against leaving his boilers without having any assistant to watch them. Some occupants of the building give similar testimony. Thompson insists that he saw both boilers 10 minutes before the explosion and that they contained plenty of water and 60 pounds pressure of steam.

The portion of the building still standing was officially examined and found to be out of plumb, wrenched by the shock and otherwise defective. It will doubtless be condemned.

In addition to the list sent in these dispatches last night, the following have been added:

Adolph Schrieber, Jr., bookbinder in Hiller's bindery. John Gordon, electrotyper, Evening Journal.

Kittie Leonard, M. Iiosa Morgan. John Breiteubeclier. Unknown man. Jennie Niebauer, 16 years old, employed in Hiller's bindeiy.

Bertha Weidbusch, 1!) years old. Ernest Parkins, assistant mailing clerk, Journal, liody recovered at 10::J0.

Emma Licb.tenberg, employe, Hiller's bindery. Rosa Bretz, remains frightfully burned and mutilated.

Catherine Hiller, forewoman, Hiller's bindeiy. Lue Fretz, employe, Dunlap & Company.

Anna Wiedbusch, employe, Hiller's bindery. John P. Derby, carpenter.

Joseph Bradley, carpenter. George J. Hiller, proprietor, Hiller's bindery.

Then are yet 20 missing, swelling the probable- list of dead to 40 or 45. Besides these J! persons persons were more or less seriously injured, two of them fatally.

No bodies have been taken out since 6 o'clock ]). m., but work is unabated. Mayor Pingree scolds the fire department for being slow in extinguishing the fire and for primitive methods in cleaning out the ruins. He says the entire Journal building must come down and criticises the owners regarding tho construction of the wrecked portion.

There is much talk of arresting Engineer Thompson, but no one has yet made complaint. Suits against th» owners of the building may follow, as the tenants can not collect insurance according to their policies.

KILLED THEM BOTH.

In a Dispute About Rent lirotlier Tenants Are Slain by Xlieir Landlord. BIRMINGHAM, Ala., Nov. 8.—Near

Roxana, Lee county, yesterday, J. H. Hayes, one of the most prominent fanners in the state, shot and killed Michael and Henry Harper, brothers, and tenants on his plantation. Hayes and the Harpers had quarreled about the payment of the rent, which fell due a month ago, and had not been paid. Twice before, when Hayes attempted to collect the rent, he was driven from his field by the Harpers with shotguns, they claiming he had not lived up to his contract.

Yesterday he visited them a third time, and demanded the overdue rent, and when they attempted to again drive him off, he pulled his pistol and shot Henry through the head and Michael in the breast. Hayes has not yet been arrested. He claims self-defense.

CHOKED BY SEA WEED.

Why tlie ISattlesliip Texas Failed to Attain Her JStti mated Horse J'ower. WASHINGTON, Nov. 8.—The examina

tion of the battleship Texas in dry dock at New York has exactly verified tlie theoiy of Engineer-in-chief Melville as to the cause of her failure to attain her estimated horse power owing to the condensers. The mouth of the bilge grating through which sea water in pumped to cool the condensers was found to be choked with an impenetrable mat of sea weed with- a gummy residuum. The grating is 15 by 131 inches and it was stopped save a hole about eight inches square in the center, thus diminishing the water siipply to one-sixth of the normal. It is believed now that the obstruction has been removed, that the engines will easily make their liorse P°werI The Iiesult in Ohio.

COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 8.—The Republican state committee has figured the Republican plurality for governor in Ohio at 95,848. The Democrats carried only 26 of the 88 counties in the state. No effort has been made to figure the total vote east, but it is believed to be one of the largest in the history of the state. The official count will not material changg the„nejt results.

Emperor- William Admits. Such a Power In a Speech To His Soldiers. -BERLIN, NOV. 8.—Emperor William

yesterday enjoyed one of those military displays which have become remarkable of recent years from the fact that he takes advantage of such occasions to make some utterance which is commented upon'for a long'time afterwards. He did not fail to do so, and although there was nothing astonishing in his address, it contained a. sharp reference to socialism. The cause of the military turnout was the swearing-in of the recruits of the regiments of the guard, which was accompanied by the usual ceremonies. His majesty then made a 6hort speech to the young soldiers, re-

army, and bidding them especially to be mindful of the honor which was theirs being attached to the guard. He added.: •'Before all things, you should trust to God to preserve your own honor and be faithful to your emperor and country, whether against a foreign or an internal foe."

General Yon Winterfeldt then called for cheers for the emperor, which were heartily given by all present, and the ceremony of administering the oath of allegiance to the young soldiers just joining the colors was concluded with a march past of all the troops assembled.

BROKE UP THE GAME

Masked Highwaymen Rob a Gotham Saloon asid Kill a Guest. NEW YOKK, Nov

Thomas and Richard ers of the place, and Richard Manley, a contractor, were in a saloon at One Hundred and Forty-eighth street, playing pinochle. William Gillon, the barkeeper Robert Kenny, a railroad man, and Richard Pope were seated at another table and were looking towards the front door of the saloon, when three men walked in, wearing masks.

The tallest of the three pulled out a gun and pointed it at the crowd with the remark: "Hold up your hands."

Everyone threw up his hands in response to the demand except Pope. He picked up a chair and advanced threateningly to the men with the masks: "Brain that man with a gun," cried out Kenny to Pope.

The next instant a shot rang out and Pope fell toChe floor dead. The other men fled and left the masked burglars in possession of the saloon. The police were notified and a patrolman ran to the saloon to find it unoccupied. The cash drawer stood wide open.

No tr ice of the men could be found. The police think they are members of a wild west show that came to the city last ni"iit from Atlanta.

chairman of the exposition finance committee, has subscribed $50,000 from his own pocket toward taking up the company's floating debt. The other directors have auded to this sum liberal subscriptions, and the floating debt will be financed this week.

TO DOWN CAMERON.

A New Opposition Develops Against Fenusyl vauia's .Silver Senator. PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 8.—Frank Will- I

ing Leach lias declared for a Philadelphian for United States senator to sacceed Senator Cameron. Owing to his closeness to Senator yuay his declaration is regarded as significant. It may mean that Pennsylvania's silver senator will have to fight as he never fought before, if he is desirous of returning to Washington.

Mr. Leach took, a train yesterday for Florida, where he will be Senator Quay's guest for about three weeks. He said: "I have no personal choice, but any one of the following will bring credit to the office, the city and the party, namely: John Wanamaker, George S. Gra- I ham, John Russell Young, Boies Penrose or Charles C. Harrison."

Cowardly Killing.

NEW YORK, NOV. 8.—Last evening Salvators Morello and Frank Forretta, both barbers, went to Jersey City to fight a duel. The two men were in love with the same woman and intended to fight it out. When they left this city it was their intention to fight with

fists. But when the place of meeting was readied, Forretta drew a revolver and fired three shots at Morello. Two of the bullets took effect in Morello's abdomen and tho third in the groin. Tlie wounded man was taken to the city hospital in a dying condition, while Forretta fled to this city, whero lie was arrested by detective?

Oeneral creditors secured attachments before the deed of assignment was filed, and when the assignee came to take possession of the stock he found Constable Moore seated in the room. Both parties are claiming possession, and a comparison of times shows that Constable Moore's emerging from tlie cellar and the filing of the deed o:! assignment were at the same minute'.

RUSSIA ADVANCING.

May Occupy Armenia During the Conference.

A MOSLEM MOB ATTACKED,

Which Indicates That Turkey Keally De

sires the Massacres To Cease—Two Thousand Armenians Have Been Slain During the Late Disturbances—Telegram From the Forte to Washington Legation. LONDON, NOV. 8.—The Daily News'

Constantinople correspondent, vrhose

,, sympathies lean toward the Armenian Bide, admits that the Moslem attacks have aronsed such a spirit of opposition

and despair among the Armenians that instead of allowing themselves to be killed quietly, as at Trehizond and Akhissar, the Armenians themselves commenced the attack at Zeitoun, Erzeroum and elsewhere, besides making ill-ad-vised and mischievous demonstrations in Constantinople. "It will take years," this correspondent continues, "to revive confidence and trade and commerce lost throught the present condition of anarchy, due to the deplorable weakness and inaction of the government."

As an instance of this, the correspondent cites the fact that Hon. A. W. Terrell, United States minister, has been trying for two months to obtain

8.—Last night permission for United States Consul Walter, the own- Poche at Aleppo, to see an American citizen of Armenian origin, who has been sent to prison there for life. It. is pointed out that Minister Terrell has secured orders from the two grand viziers to the local authorities at Aleppo to grant this permission, which lias either been rescinded before the consul had an opportunity to act upon it, or has been disobeyed by the local governor, the desired result being evaded rather than refused. "This is the more remarkable," The

Daily News' correspondent observes, "because Mr. Terrell has considerable personal influence at tho Porte. Yet, now, after demanding the dismissal of the vali at Aleppo or that the porte itself should assume responsibility for refusal, he has only succeeded in getting an order for the prisoner to be brought here.''

As noted elsewhere in the dispatches to The Associated Press, Kiamil Pash^, the retiring grand vizier, has been appointed :li of Aleppo, to succeed the official who has held that place during Mr. Terrell's efforts to secure an interview with the prisoner.

The only hopeful sign in tho outlook, according to the opinion of the Daily News' correspondent, is the report that the troops at Erzeroum, under Shakir Pasha, high commissioner, to enforce the Armenian reforms, have attacked a Moslem mob, which had formed with a purpose of doing mischief to the Armenians. "If this is confirmed," the correspondent thinks, "it will show that Turkey realiv desires that the massacres shall cease.""

A cipher letter received from Erzingliian, headquarters of the notorious Zekki pasha, commander of the troops at the time of the Sassoun massacre, states that

2,000

Armenians have been

killed dining the late disturbances. A Vienna dispatch to The Daily News from its correspondent there, says that he hears that unless there is an amelioration in the condition of affairs Russia will occupy Armenia simultaneously with the holding of the European conference.

ARMENIANS TO BLAME.

Armenians began again their attacks upon the Mussulmans by throwing bombs at them, and by firing at the Muezzins at the very time when the latter were calling the faithful to prayers. During the affray 50 Miissulmans and "JO Armenians were killed and wounded. "Armenian rioters attacked the patrols at Sivrik, killing a few IviussulI mans and setting tire to the bazaar, "Two hundred Armenian revolutionI ists, having at their head Kevrok, chief of the parish of Ferns (Marash) attacked the village

Hotel Thief Caught.

CHICAGO, NOV. 8.—Hawley, the alleged hotel thief, who was arrested yesterday, and is said to be wanted in New York, Cleveland, Omaha and other places, was held in $1,000 bonds for a 10-days' continuance. The police here say that he has stolen several thousand dollars' worth of jewelry and other valuables from guests of the various hotels in which he has been employed. The New York authorities telegraphed that they have sent a man to take Hawley back to that city.
