As You Like II.

The appearance of Miss Fannie Da-
venport at the Grand Opera House, this
evening, as Rosdlind in Gas You Like
It," will be rare dramatic treat which
should be generally enjoyed. Of her
performance a writer in the st. Louis
Republican says: at is scarcely two years
since Miss Davenport made her maiden
essay as Rosalind, and according to the
tradition OF the old school of acting, she
has since had hardly time to mellow in
the part. Yet to-day she is the peeress
nf any representative of the role that
lives. 1t has been the good fortune of
the writer to have seen every celebrated
Rosalind that has appeared on the
American boards from Anna Cora
Motfatt to Miss Davenport, and her
performance Of the part last night,
taken az whole, has never been sur
passed by any OF the ladies he has seen
play it.

Taking out the Bodies from the
Ruins Ofthe minneapolis
Mills

MINNEAPOLIS, May 5.-During the
whole of Friday the scene of the explo-
sion and fire has been the centre of in
tense excitement The total loss Is now
fixed at 81 100000. The search for the
dead proceeded all day aa fast as the fire
could be extinguished aid the ruins cool
ed Up TO eleven O'Clock on Saturday
morning the black and unrecognizable
remains of seven "f the unfortunate vict-
ims OF the Was-.drn Mill had been re-
covered. Thase were carefully covered
aud carried to the machine shop of the
Milwaukee and 81. Paul Railroad and
deposited on the floor. AT the southern
end of the building was crowd of anx-
ious relatives waiting ts identity the lost.
The appearance of the bodies, or what re-
manned in shape-charred bones or lit
tie heaps of black ashes, emitting sick
ening odor-will never be forgotten by
any spectator. Only one body bore any
semblance OF the human form, and even
this was horribly distorted, with the
head, arms and legs burned to a crisp or
removed and the trunk partly eaten
away by the action Of the terrific heat.
This is believed to be the body OF John
Boyer. The smaller fragments of bodies
were ranged in close proximity to the
large trunk above described, until seven
were deposited all together. One OF
them was brought in in an elevator
basket. The search was industriously
continued all through the afternoon
The estimate Of the number of the dead
based upon the bodies recovered, those
known to have been in the mill and in
quiries for missing, is placed at sixteen
Later inquiry confirms the first theory
that the cause Of the explosion was th,
ignition of the infammable mill dus
floating in the air and the consequen
seneration and expansion of iAt1anma
BILE gases.

TILDEN'S OATH
what Would he the Result Of
Unscating President

Special Dispatch 70 THE TIMES.
WASHINGTON, May 8.
The Washington Post will tomorrow
publish q double-leader editorial, the
points of which are here indicated,
General Ben Butler is understood 10
have suggested the identical plan here
outlined, and he may be the lawyer re-
ferred to. 1t is generally believed, too,
here that Tilden did privately take the
oath of office on March, 4, In New York,
and that IL was administered by Justice
Field, of the United States Supreme
Court, brother of David Dudley Field.
1t is not difficult to see that the purpose
of this article is to force anti-Tllden
Democrats to vote for an investigation.
The Posts points are: According
to one of the most cultivated legal minds
in the House of Representatives, there
need be no apprehension in the minds
of the anti-Tllden Democrats that al
investigation Of the electoral frauds,
even through 1t should result in uuseat-
ing Hayes, could have the effsct of in
stalling the New York rrformer in his
stead. The eminent lawyer makes the
following declaration "Under all
laws governing successiens under con-
stitutional forms strict observance of
these forms is requisite to a perfection
OF title. 1t Is necessary that a Presi-
dent should take the oath on the fourth
day of March, which, it is asserted, Tilden
failed to do. His friends besought him
to go through with the form of taking
the oath to perfect his title.
Tilden al at first intended TO take the
oath IN a public manner, but abandoned
his design as soon as he learned of
Grants determination to arrest him on
the charge of treason and throw him in
to Fortress Monroe as an instigator of
sedition rebellion, upon his appearance
at the Capitol for that purpose. That
Grant was prepared for such action
and would have seized Tilden's person
Is well known to many of both parties,
and that Tilden was restrained by his
knowledge of such a peril is equally
notorious in private circles. The conse-
quence is that if Hayes and Wheeler
should be disposed the succession would
be vacant and the House would proceed
to elect, the same as if there had been
no choice by the Electoral College, the
presiding officer of the Senate discharg-
ing the duties of the Presidedcy simply
dd interim between the disposition OF
Hayes and the election by the House.
