Hurrah for HoadIY.

CLEVELAND, May G-There is a
greed deal of talk quietly of bringing
Hoadly forward at the right moment
as the candidate for president Payne
is emphatically out of the race. Til
den will decline. 1t is not decided
yet whether he will decline by tele-
graphing to the convention or by let
ter, or refuse absolutely the nomina-
ton. One Of these things he is Ger
tain to do. But the talk about TIlden
will be kept up to keep concentration
of popular sentiment on any other
man. This, it is said, is done to
enable the managers, Payne, Tilden,
Barnum, and Randall to make an as
signment of as much OF Tilden's
strength as possible and to control
the nomination. 1t is thought that
Hoadly will be acceptable He will
Just meet the views of the protective
tariff democrats and Will enable the
democracy to sweep New York, Con-
necticut and New Jersey.

When Young's name, the last on
the list was called. Speaker Carlisle
said to the clerk. Call my name. !
The name was called and the speaker
voted nay. The vote was received
with cheers by the friends of the
measure. Representatives Barr and
Robinson, of New York, were absent.
Before the vote was announced the

the smallest number of mem
bers recorded as paired for
years. Bennett, nav; Ochiltree,
yea. Muldrow; nay, Valentine; yea,
Nichols; nay, RoggS; yea, Wood and
John D. White.
The vote on the pending bill is 159
yeas to 155 nays, said the clerk upon
the announcement of the result. There
was repetition of the scene that fol
lowed the announcement of the vote
by the tellers. Republicans and sue
cessful democrats rose in this seats
and gave cheer after cheer, some
waved papers above their heads,
while others clapped hands. In the
galleries men and women again
cheered, the latter also vigorously
waiving their handkerchiefs.
Mr.. Morrison moved to vacate the or
der for night session. Agreed to.
Mr.. Randall moved that the mem
bers who had not spoken on the
tariff be allowed to print their re-
marks in the Record Agreed to.
Mr.. Converse moved to reconsider
the vote by which the house decided
to strike out the enactlng clause, and
then moved to lay that motion on the
table. The motions were carried by
viva voce, and the announcement of
this result was received with cheers
and applause, though noe with SO
much enthusiasm as the previous an
nouncement.
Mr.. Willis suggested that Mr.. Con
verse, whose seat Is on the democratic
side, have a seat hereafter with the
republicans.
When the last vote was announced
members began leaving.
The crowd in the galleries lessened
within ten minutes, scarcely 100 per-
sons remained and the house adjourn
ed until tomorrow. AS the members
were leaving many of them expressed
the oplnlon that final adjournment
would be taken in June. Some
thought in the latter part others dur
ing the few first days of the month.
An analysis of the roll call shows that only
three republicans, Nelson. Strait and Wakefield,
all of Minnesota, voted against striking out the
enactng clause. Forty-one democrats voted i'll
the affirmative. They hail from the following

ME. BLAINE denies the report that he
proposes to sue Puck for libel. lie felt
very much cut up over the cartoon
which attracted so much attention. and
thinks it was about the meanest attack
that was ever made upon him, but he
will take no public notice of it.
INDIAN INSPECTOR HAYwoRTH, now
in the city, says he is acquainted with
A. B. Johnson, who reports an outbreak
among Navajo Indians. He does not
credit the report, and says johnson is
a sensationalist. Intimatiors are thrown
out by Indian officials that there are
always Indian outbreaks-on paper
about the time the army appropriation
bill is to be considered by congress.

ance.
NORTHUMBERLAND County, Pa, has
Leen badly swept over by forest fires.
Farm fences, cordwood, railroad sills,

ed. The loss will foot up thousands Of
dollars. The forest fires were the most
damaging seen here within half a cen-
tury.
A DISPATCH from Scranton, Pa, says
forest fires in this region have destroyed
the steam saw-mill of Gage & Clemens,
at Maple Lake. as we'll as a great deal
of lumber. Fonr dwslling-houses be-
tween Moscow and Spring Brook have
also been destroyed. The flames have
now attacked q large area Of stand
ing timber pear Moscow, and it is
probable that vast portion will be de-
stroyed.
A TIRE at Glens Falls n. Y, Monday,
which was famed by strong gale, de-
stroyed Littls's Opera House, the Glen's
Falls Opera House, Presbyterian church,
Union Hall building, and thirty business
places. A portion of ''murderers' row"
occupied entirely by saloons, was de-
molished to prevent spread of the
flames. The loss is 100000, with 1000
insurance.
A FIRE in New York, Wednesday, de-
stroyed half million dollars worth Of
property. The following are the losers:
Van Valkenburg & Leavitt, dealers in

EMPORIUM, Pa, dispatches state that
forest fires have swept over more than
$4,000 acres. destroying, as far as ascer-
tanned, four large mills and some thirty
number of lumber logs. The people
everywhere are fighting the fires. The
heat is intense and the air is suffocating.
while the smoke obscuras the sun. The
losc on mill property, timber. ETC.,
amounts to 100000. The damage to
standing timber cannot be estimated.
A HoNTsDALE dispatch says the fire
which totally destroyed the village OF
Bristim, is supposed to have originated
half mile west of Hoover, Hughes q
Co. d mill, where some Hungarians set
fire to the brush to clear piece of
ground for cultivation. The wind car
ried the flames to the sawmills, and they
were quickly swept away. The progress
of the fire was then very rapid through
the town, and the inhabitants were COM
pelled to fly in every direction, and in
many cases without sufficient clothing.
When the first alarm was received the
business people placed every team at the
disposal of their neighbors, and every
bar-room was closed.

for talking about choking off, replied
Mr.. Morrison. Mr.. Dorsheimcr spoke in
favor or the Morrison bill. and when he
concluded Kelly said he had been told
the gentleman in referring to some re-
marks of bis had quoted him as say
ing: "Harvests are tso abundant; ar
tisans too industrious. He had made
no such statement, and the gentleman
could not have read his speech, but
must have been egregiously deceived by
somebody. Mr. Dorsheimer replied
that he had carefully examined the gen
tlemans speech, and he now formally
repeated the statement he had made.
Il regret the gentleman's course" laid
Kelly, s'for it lessons my estimate of his
character" In reply to a question by
Mr.. Deuster, the speaker stated that up
to the present time forty-three gentle
men kad addressed tho committee. 1t
was agreed that private business be gus
pended till to morrow, and the day de-
voted to tariff debate. Mr.. MorriSon's
limitation motion was agreed to with
out a division and the house went into
committee of the whole as indicated.
MONDAY, MAYS.
Sendte-In the senate most of the day
was occupied with the debate on the
shipping bill. Bills were favcrably re-
ported amending the house bill granting
a pension to the widow of Gen. Judson
Fitzpatrick and to adopt international
regulations for preventing collisions at
sea. A bill was introduced by Senator
Van Wyck to restrict aliens and foreign
companies in the ownership of public or
other lands, and another by Senator
Plumb to prevent the acquisition of real
estate by aliens. The agricultural ap
preparation bill was reported to the SEN
ate, the committee increasing the ap-

of the Morrison tariff bill. A joint res
olution was reported appropriating s1O,-
000 for the expenses of the visit of the
Siamese embassy, but it went over
under an objection from Mr.. Weber.
The evening session was devoted to the
tariff debate.

SEAvER, the defaulting secretary
and treasurer of the Reedsburg wool
en- mill, postmaster, president of the
village and republican delegate to
Chicago, has aecamped and left for
parts unknown. His defalcatIons are
said to be larger than were at first es-
timated. He paid in $1,000 to mako
the sum good but this amount does
not cover his shortage. He was rec.
ommenaed in the convention as re-
publican TO the backbone. But he
seems little too modest to average
well. He shouldn't have run away
just at the time when he had obtained
the strong scented hotoriety so essen
tial to a popular candidacy in his par

Protection Needed.

PITTsBURG, May 6.-This week will
probably close up the coal trade Of
the Monongahela river. Joseph Wal
ton 81 Co. s mines at Second Pool will
shut down to morrow and the works
of O'Neil & Co., which have been
idle for several weeks, on account OF
a reduction being offered the miners.
They will not resume until fall
trade opens. Miners of the fourth
pool are still ON a strike and and op-
orators are making no effort towards
a settlement. In consequence there
will be general stoppage, tow beats
will be tied up few days, and crews
will be discharged. Over 5000 min
ers will be thrown out of employ
ment.

.'THE boots-on-in-bed administra
ton of exChairman Sanderson," is
the way the Eau Claire Free Press
speaks of that regime which the re-
publican convention thanked for its
ability and unselfshness and arduous
work. When a man works SO hard
for his party and gets SO tired that he
goes to bed with his boots on, it should
not be mentioned. He should be
thanked for the able and unselfsh
manner in which he discharged the
arduous duties of the craftsmanship.

Why He Went to the Circus.
Chattanooga Peoples Paper.

There was a circus in the city the
other day and old man Primus, who
had braved the blasts OF seventy win
ters, took front seat at the perfor-
nance. A young acquaintance, who
came In and took seat beside the old
man. exclaimed:
"Why, Mr.. Primus! 1 am surpris-
ed to see an old man as you at cir
Gus performance"
II always come" said the old man
quietly. Il care nothing for the gen.
eral performance, but 1 come to hear
the clowns"
80 you come to laugh at the
jokes?'
"Oh, no! 1 don't laugh at them
any more" replied the septuagenari-
an, but l enjoy the jokes because they
revive old memories, and take me
back to my childhood days, when
used to sit on my grandfather's knees
and hear him tell them as they wers
told by the clowns when he WAS a
bow

SOME purblind protectio1ists call
the Morrison tariff bill horizontal
humbug." This is an admission that
the tariff is humbug. 1t Is an ad-
mission that the tariff commission, all
republicans and all protectionists, re-
CONNIE nded a humbug. 1t IS an ad-
missio that the last republican con-
gross voted for humbug, and that
the Gil for tax reduction which comes
from Massachusetts, Vermont and
Minnesota republicans in their recent
conventions is hurAbug.

Frightened Africans.

"Ycu couldn't hire a darkey to

'sDo you see that porch7" was the
reply, pointing to a house a short dis
tance from Fourteenth street. well,
that porch is made from the body of

RAYS OF HOPE.
An Even Chance that the Passengers
ofthe State ofFlorida Were Saved.

ofthe State ofFlorida Were Saved.
GLASGOW, May 5.--The underwriters
will lose e30, 900 if the steamer State of
Florida proves to be lost. The ship
which signalled the City of Rome was a
full-riggsd vessel, of English build. She
displayed no national flag. After the
signals she proceeded westward slowly.
Five other sailing vessels were sighted
at the same time.
1t j: no longer doubted the ship which
was signalled by the City of Rome saved
some il not all on board the State of
Florida.
1t is calculated the disaster occurred
the 18th ult., at which period the wind
was blowing from the east. The boats
would drift until rescued.
They must have been launched, be-
cause they were so fixed they would not
otherwise have floated. The fact that
the boats were without gear or oars Is
regarded favorably, as indicating the
rescuing ship secured the oars and gear
and allowed the boats to drift away.
One is lifeboat No. l and the other a
small new boat, not numbered.
The owners are Of the opinion the
State OF Florida struck an iceberg, as
the captain Of The State of Pennsyl-
vania report Is ice in the region in which
the State of Florida is supposed to have
been at the time of the disaster.
The dynamite theory is not received
with favor whatever.
Inventory shows the cargo was ship
ped by two well-known firms, and all
the small packages on board were ac-
counted for. Detectives reported that
they were awaiting the ar ival of the
State Of Florida, seeking ~ arrest an
embezsler supposed to be on the vessel.
The next news concerning the fate of
the missing vessel is awaited from
America, where it is supposed those
who were rescued will be landed.
The captain of the City of Rome ex-
plains that when the ship displayed the
signals there was little or nc wind, and
the flags showed badly and were diff
cult to read. The City of Rome passed
the ship rapidly, without replying to the
signals.
