BUTLER STILL SPEAKING.
His Speech Before the Merchants Club
in Boston Saturday Night.

BosToN, Jan Is.
Gov. Butler. Mayor Palmer. Congress
man-elect Collins and others were guests at
the Merchants Club tonight. Gov. Butler
made the most interesting speech of the eve
ming The primary causes of the decadence
of American commerce, he said, are the
change in the building of ships from wood to
iron, and the war of the rebellion, and the
principle remedy is not in free ships; that it
is not question of saving at the spigot and
filling of all the bung-holes and protection
in the manner of running ships. If Boston
wishes to maintain eminence as CONNER
cial port, to say nothing of increasing her in
fuence, she must0tak in connection with the
water borne commerce of the United States,
or in other words, the Hoosac Tunnel must
join with the Erie canal. Water-borne COM
merce is from four to eight times cheaper
than any other commerce, and the Governor
appealed to those present to open through
wavs to the great west, for the prosperity of
the city of Boston and for the sake of the
Commonwealth. 1t ought to be done. and
when done, Boston is the nearest to Europe.
Ii would be better to put capital in this
than in some of the cat and dog schemes out
in Arizona; it is better to encourage honest
labor than to engage in gambling specula-
tons.

THE ST. LOUIS SENS ALTON.
Some Unpleasant Statements Made in
Regard to the Abduction Of Miss
Garrison.

ST. Louis, Jan. IS.
Numerous stories have gained circulation
today and tonight, regarding the abduction
of Miss Garrison, who was returned to her
mother last night, which places the young
lady in very unpleasant position. These
are to the general effect that the girl was not
abducted at all, that she went voluntary 10
the Wash street house with her alleged abduc-
tors; while there went with them twice day
to a neighboring restaurant for meals, some
of which she paid for herself, and on one
occasion went alone and returned to the
house, proving she was not in duress and
could have gone home at any time had she
wanted to do so. These stories are most
strenously denied by Miss Garrison, who
persists in saying that she was chloroformed
by her captors. retained in Wash street house
by force, until her disappearance was made
public and that she believes she was kept a
part of the time under the partial influence
of drugs. A reporter who visited her this
afternoon states that her PHYSICAL condition
indicates great nervous exhaustatiou, occa-
stoned by excitement or perhaps BY opiates
No arrests have been made yet. and which
gives the unpleasant color to some of these
statements is that the police know who were
concerned in the affair and yet take no action
in the matter. nor relatives of the lady show
any disposition to prosecute any one.

A fully attended indignation meeting was

for the postmastership. Judge c. X. Miller,
brother of the present postmaster, presided
With o. T. Hosmer, republican candidate
last September for the legislature, as secre-
,ary. The object of the meeting was to ex-
press indignation over the appointment of W

Jr.. the present incumbent and a wounded
soldier who did not pay the assessment on his
salary. Address were made by Judge Mil
Ter, NJ. II. Crawford, G. ii. Cleveland. q
prominent manufacturer, and others. The
sentiment was that Rich's selection was not
meant to benefit the people but 10 serve the
interests of certain alleged local holders of
federal offices, the members of which were
handled without gloves by the speakers. Res
olutions were adopted to the effect that the
appointment of Rice was base and unwar-
ranted the discharge of the expressed wish
the people; that it was an indirect opposition
to the principles of civil service reform and
was intended to increase the undersigned

FIRE RECORD.
ABLAZE In ST. LOUIS.
The Planters Hotel Burned-Four Vic.
tlms Perish.

ST Louis, Jan IA.
The Planters Hotel, one of the largest in
the CITY, took fire this morning shortly before
five O'Clock, and burned SO rapidly that four
persons lost their lives. The greatest con-
fusion prevailed when the alarm was given,
and nearly all the guests escaped IN their
night clothes The weather was intensely
cold. and the fremen thereby was greatly
bindered in their work. 1t is thought more
than four victims persisted. Three dead
bodies have been taken out. The fire Is now
under control The loss to the hotel viii
not exceed $50, 900.
LArER.-The fire broke out shortly after
four o'clock in the kitchen, and extended to
the pantry, store-room and servants quar-
tiers. These are all in the building. in the
rear of, and detached from the hotel, which
was not injured. One servant was sutfocated.
and one burned to death, and two others have
broken limbs. Great excitement prevailed
among the guests and other occupants of the
hotel. most of whom left the house but re-
turned again during the day.
The engineer first discovered the fire and
at once gave the alarm. In three minutes
the hotel was bedlum. Nearly 800 people
filled with the recolections of the Milwaukee
holocaust were dashng hither and thlther
through the main corridors and down the
several stairways into the office and the
street. The hotel employees acted with good
sense and promptness, rapping long and loud
on every door in the house, and five minutes
later making the second trip to insure that
everybody was up and advised Of the danger.
Very few waited to dress.
The hotel proper did not suffer to the en-
tent of dollar. The fire, however, crossed
the alley to the furniture warerooms. Dam
age to the hotel probably about $4,000, and
to auction firm about $4,000.

MILWAUKEE, Jan 10.
This afternoon, eight little heap. of charred
flesh were found, supposed to represent so
many lives. This makes sixteen exhumed
bodies. Lizzie Angland, dining room girl,
died this afternoon. Thus far the identified
dead number 80.
Two bell boys have turned up safe. TAX
ing the chief clerks statement as correctly
given, there was ITO guests and G. employ
ees in the building, and there must be 43
bodies yet in the ruins. Ninety five have
been known to have been saved; % dead
bodies have been identified and sixteen
charred bodies are beyond Identification,
making the total loss of life as near as can be
figured, at 80. Excavations are now about
% feet from the Broadway front. The worst
features of the fire will not be revealed I'M
til the excavation has proceeded some feet fur
ther. 1t is predicted that the opening up of
the court in the centre will reveal large
number of bodies, as the inmates of rooms
there would be forced by the flames to Jump
from the windows. 1t is hoped that they
may be in condition to be recognized.
MILWAUKEE, Jan IA.
Two charred bodies beyond recognition
have been taken from the ruins of the New
hall House, making eighteen charred bodies,
in addition to the twenty three identified dead
or Al known to be dead in all.
Mrs. Bridget Bridgman, the oldest en-
ployee of the hotel, is now reported to be
missing, making ~ bodies are yet supposed to
in the ruins. Five bodies were buried today,
among them being T. B. Elliot, prominent
lawyer, who came to the hotel from the 3. 80
train on the morning of the fire, and half
hour later jumped from fourth story win
dow, broke both legs and injured his spine,
and died Friday. lie was prominent Mason
and State representative to the United States
Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows.
The mayor has received Jay Gould's check
for five hundred dollars, for the relief of the
sufferers, and the Western Union Telegraph
Company's check for the hundred dollars.
The local charity has responded nobly, so
that the action of three members of the coun-
Gil stands insulated. Today, excavations
from Broadway front will reach the Court in
the rear of the office, and will be started near
the west wall under the servants quarters,
where most of the bodies are supposed to be.
A vacant store on Broadway will be fitted
up as temporary morgue for the charred re-
mains.

Fitz John Porter bill confounds some Of
his warmest friends. The reason which
he gives is that he has changed his mind

Some reports say his reelection to the

would not be likely to strengthen Hoar
