Senator Blaine's Views.

BosToE, April IL.
Senator Blaine, in a telegram to the
Herald, says: ~ am sure Gov. Cham
berlain knows that he has my profound
est sympathy in the heroic, though un-
successful, struggle he has made in
South Carolina for civil liberty and con
stitutional government. l am equally
sure Gov. Packard feels that my heart
and judgment are both with him in the
contest he is still waging against great
odds, for the Governorship that he holds
by title as valid as that which Justly
and lawfully seated Rutherford B. Hayes
in the Presidential chair. | trust, also,
that both Governors know that the Bos-
ton press no more represents the stalwart
Republican feeling of New England on
pending issues than the same press did
when it demanded the enforcement of
the Fugitive Slave law in 1851"

and others sank exhausted to the ground
from nervous prostration. The ladders
generally were too short to reach to the
fifth and sixth stories, but by hosting
some Of them on the balconies on the
east and north sides of the building these
floors were reached, and all those at the
windows were rescued. The fire-escape
was also brought promptly into service,
and was the means of saving many lives.
The female help, some eighty in num-
Der, occupied the upper floor of the hotel
and the panic among them was terrible.
Several threw themselves from the win
dows and were instantly killed.
The Coroner gives the following list of
killed, as related to him, and thinks it
comprises all known to be dead: Rev.
A. r. Adams, of Stock Cross, Berkshire,
England; George Frank Gouley, Grand
Secretary of the Masonic fraternity, of
this State; Kate Reilly, Kate Dolan and
Mary Moran, servants; Henry Hazen, of
the Auditors department of the Missouri
Pacific Railroad. He was formerly of
New Castle, Pa, whittier his remains
will be sent. Mrs. Stewart, wife of w.
s. Stewart, of the firm of Derby & Day,
of this city; Andrew Eistmann, of the firm
of Techman e. Co., of this city; Charles
Tieran, Sidmore Hayden and an un-
known man.
Kate Claxton, Lettie Allen and frankie
McClelland, actresses, we're among the
saved, but the latter is believed to be
fatally injured. P. Shackleford, of New
York, had both legs broken, and others
of the saved were more or less injured.
Charles Tieran lost his life in attempt
ing to save others. Philip Gerald was
brought out alive but entirely bereft of
reason.
Half an hour after the fire was discov.
cred, the entire roof was ablaze and the
flames were rapidly descending to the
lower stories. A half hour later the
floors and interior walls began to fall and
the roof fell in, and there is now moth
ing left of one of the finest hotels in the
country except the Walnut street front
and parts of the Fourth and Fifth street
faces.
The Southern Hotel originally cost
about 81 $50, 900, but was purchased by
Mr.. Campbell for $525, 900. The furni
ture was owned by Bresiine, Darling &
Co., lessees, was valued at $500, 600 and
is a total loss. Insurance on building

LOUISIANA.

WASHINGTON, April 13,
The Louisiana Commissioners, in their
dispatch to the President yesterday, re-
late the result of their conferences with
Nichols and Packard, the Judges of the
Supreme Courts and other parties. They
say they find the Nichols party are not
disposed to make concessions, but will
maintain their ground in the belief and
hope that ultimately, as in Hamptons
case in South Carolina, they will have
full and unObstructed possession of the
Louisiana State Government. The Pack
ard party are ready to enter into an ar
rangement for the joint Legislature to
determine pending questions, but, this
being rejected by the Nichols party, the
Packard party ask the President to de-
termine which is the legal State Govern
ment.
AT the Cabinet meeting, to-day, after
a long discussion, ii was decided to send
additional instructions to the commits
sion.

ST. LOUIS, April 1.

OF. LOUIS, April H.
From sixty to one hundred men have
been put to work on the ruins by order
of the Mayor, and this force will be in
creased from $50 to 200. 1t is appre-
hended that several of the female do
mestics of the house are buried beneath
the debris, as number of them have
not reported to the proprietors, and no
account has been received of them. 1t
now seems quite probable that H. J.
Clark, wife and child were among the
killed. Mrs. Scott, reported dead yes
terday, was still alive at late hour last
night, but there is no hope of her recov-
cry. Kate Claxton lost everything she
possessed, and is suffering from nervous
prostration. Her escape from the build
ing was attended with great difficulty
and much suffering from smoke and
fright. Miss frankie Mcclellan is in a
very critical condition. She Jumped
from the fourth story to the roof Of a
one-story saloon adjoining the hotel, and
sustained severe conclusion of the
brain and the spinal cord. She also has
badly-cut face and head, two pene-
trating wounds in the groin, fractured
rib and several minor hurts.
The body of child, supposed to be a
little girl, was found in the ruins this
evening, just under the Walnut street
entrance to the hotel. 1t lay on a small
mattress, and evidently fell from one of
the upper stories. 1t was distigured be-
yond recognition.
Mr.. Morrow, agent of a New York
jewelry house, lost sample trunk con-
tanning $4,000 worth of jewelry. This
morning the remains of the trunk were
unearthed and between $400 and $500
worth of the contents recovered in
damaged condition.
Most of the employees of the hotel have
reported, and others are expected to re-
port tomorrow. 1t is not believed that
many of them were lost.

ST. LOUIS, April Is.
Search has progressed vigorously all
day in the ruins of the Southern Hotel,
but no more bodies were discovered.
Numerous articles of jewelry, silver
ware, bar and table furniture, broken
and burned trunks, articles of clothing,
papers of different kinds, valuable and
otherwise, have been taken out. Much
the larger part of the debris has been
turned over, and the belief is general
that there cannot be more than two
bodies in the ruins-the child of Mr.. and
Mrs. H. j. Clark and Charles Kiefnich,
the head waiter.

Gen. Mcmillan and several other
prominent Republicans were in consulta-

to-day in the interest of Gov. Packard.
These gentlemen were assured by the
commission in the most solemn manner
that no proposition whatever has been
made to either party, and furthermore
that the commission have not agreed
upon plan. They urged upon the com,
mission the necessity of an early decision
by the President. Every interest of the
State and people demands it. If it is to

on Saturday night had not teen cap
tured at last accounts. Constable Nc
Kay, who started in pursuit hat night,
returned home on Sunday afternoon
from Diamond Valley. having received

pursuit at late accounts. Should the
horse thief fall into the hands of the

never return TO Eureka.
