Mr.. FRENZEL ENDORSED.
The State Officers Unite in a Request for
Him to Withdraw His Resignation.

In pursuance with the plan agreed upon by
the Democratic State officers, and indicated in
the Journal of yesterday, those dgntaries united
yesterday afternoon in the following letter to
ex-Commissioner French
John p Frenzel, ESQ., member of the METROPOLITAN
Police Board, Indianapolis, Ind:
Dear Sir-YouE resignation as member of the Met
ropotan Police Board of the city of Indianapolis is
received We regret that after the valuable service
you have rendered member of the board and the
faithful with which you have discharged the
trust you have decided to sever your connection with
the same
Recognizing the Importance of the position, and
the necessity of good and competent to fill the
same, we earnestly request the withdrawal of your
resignation. ISAAC P. GRAY, Governor.
w. r. MYERS, Secretary of State.
JAMES II. RICE, Auditor of State.
JOHN j. COOPER Treasurer of State.
This step was taken at the dictation of the
Sim Coy Democracy, and the evident intention
is eitherto compass the disgruntlement of Com
missioner Murphy and cause his resignation, or
to persuade Mr. Frenzel to remain, with the
assurance that the Legislature will remedy the
existing ills of which he complains by withdraw
ing all restrictions as to the hour of closing the
saloons. Already Senator Bailey has taken
step in that direction, and on yesterday intro
duced bill to so amend the present law az to
allow the saloons to remain open all night if de-
sirable. Meeting Mr.. Frenzel shortly after the
foregoing letter had been placed in his hands,
journal reporter asked if he adhered to his ex-
pressed determination to make the resignation
final
81 don't know, was the reply. "This letter has
just been handed me- and have had no time to
give it proper consideration. / have reached no
decision"
1t is perfectly safe to say, however, that the
resignation will be withdrawn, and that the
power of the majority of the Police Board to
thwart Mr.. Frenzeps aims will be broken by the
repeal of that portion of the law calling for the
closing of saloons at specified time. On the
street there is but one expression among bust
ness men and the better class of people, and
that, of course, is commendatory of the action
of Mr.. Murphy and Mr.. Morrison, and ad-
verse to the extraordinary attitude assumed
by Mr. Frenzel. The liquor dealers are some
what paciaed since the introduction of the Bailey
BILL but they denounce the policy of the majority
of the board in terms not to be found between
the covers of Mr.. Webster's celebrated compen-
dium--which is truly touching.

The Savings Bank Laws.

The committee of the Board of Trade met at
the Office of State Auditor Rice, yesterday after
noon, to discuss the State law regulating saw
ings banks. 1t was expected that the commit
tees of the Senate and House would also be pres
ent, but they were absent because of the press
of legislative duties. Mr.. Hiram w. Chase, Of
Lafayette, who enjoys the reputation of being
the most successful banker of that particular
character in the State, was present, by invita-
ton, and made many valuable suggestions. The
committee simply discussed the matter in a
general way, and considered the laws of several
States governing saving banks, and that of Iowa
was unanimously agreed upon as embodying the
best features A subcommittee was appointed
and was authorized to draft a law for submission
to the Legislature. This committee is composed
of E. b. Martindale John p. Frenzel, Cyrus G.
Hines and James H. Rice.

Collapse of a Building.

CLINTON, Ill, April 22.-Lnst evening
at a late hour the walls in one of the
largest business buildings of this city,
situated on the south side of the public
square, gave way, and almost destroyed
the various stocks of several merchants
who conducted business in adjoining
rooms that were separated by the defec-
tive wall. The building had decayed
with age, and can now be seen to have
been in an extremely dangerous condition.
On the second floor was situated the
Register printing office, owned by j. fl.
Wagner 4 Son. The office, with its
contents, after crushing through the floor
below, was precipitated into the cellar,
and among the debris lay two power
presses, together with every particle of
material the office contained. On the
first floor the sufferers are Mr.. Killaugh,
an extensive dealer in hardware and agri-
cultural implements, and William Metz
ger, who carried on a large business in the
manufacture and sale Of houses. During
the entire day a large force of workmen
have been extracting from the debris
whatever was of any value, but have not
made sufficient Roadway to arrive at any
accurate estimate OF the loss. Some IF
teen or twenty employees are at work in
these business places during the daytime,
and, had the accident occurred then,
there would have been considerable loss
of life. No one was in the building at
the time, nor were there any fires left
burning. The remaining merchants who
do business in the building have a feeling
of insecurity, and every effort has been
made to temporarily preserve the walls
left standing. The loss will probably not
exceed $4,000. and the accident is Of
such a nature that not one cent Of insur-
ance money will be realized.

Russia Refuses to investigate.

Russia Refuses to Investigate.
LONDON, April 22.-The Press Asso-
citation asserts that it is enabled to state
that further communications have been
received from St. Petersburg to the effect
that the Russian government has refused
to hold further inquiry in regard to Gen.
Komaroff report Of his engagement of
March 30. 1t is the opinion. therefore,
in English and Russian diplomatic circles,
that peace cannot be maintained.
LONDON, April 22.-The Daily Neus
says there is reason to believe that Russia
declines to make any further inquiry con-
corning the Penideh incident. The NeI0s
also says that negotiations with Turkey
tend toward a satisfactory arrangement in
the event of war and that England is ne
gotiating with the Italian government for
the occupation of a portion of Egypt by
Italy. The Nelos says editorially: I'VE
wish We could encourage the idea hat ne
gotiations with Russia are tending toward
the preservation of peace, but we fear the
reverse. No disposition is shown by Rus
STA to retreat from the false position she
has assumed. Forbcarance has been
pushed to its limits and will bear little
further extension on the part OF Eng
land. I

Lloyds has been advanced from FIVE to

The Floods in Kansas.

KANSAS Cry, April 22,-The Times
Medicine Lodge, Kan, special gives the
following additional particulars of the dis
astrous food there:
The town is situated between Medicine
river and Elm creek. Early on Tuesday
morning the food came down the streams,
quickly overlooking their bottom lands to
a depth of about ten feet. In the Elm
creek bottoms east of the town a dozen
houses were entirely destroyed and many
occupants drowned or saved only by
clinging to the branches OF trees. In the
camp bottoms were ten or fifteen emf
grant families. and not half of these per-
sons have yet been found. North of here
entire families were drowned Others
made miraculous escapes.
All yesterday and last night the treams
were so high that no communication could
be had with the East, and to-day the first
dispatches were sent out. The stores in
town were closed yesterday and every citi-
zen was engaged in the work of r~escuing
citizens in boats and RATS from their per-
ilous positions in the trees and on house
tops. This work was extremely hazard
Gus, and by nightfall there we're still
some isolated prisoners, A relief party
was out all night picking up these unfor-
Inmates. The people in the Medicine
river bottoms had an earlier warning and
all escaped with their lives. Hundreds of
cattle were drowned and great fields of
crops were ruined. Hundreds of dead
animals also line the banks of Elm creek.
The rise started at dark Monday night
and the rain poured steadily for six hours,
which was followed by a great cloud burst
north Of the town.
Among those known to be lost are the
following; g. W. Paddock. wife and four
children. The bodies of the wife and
three children have been recovered. Jerry
Gibbs and daughter, Mrs. Harris and
and daughter. The bodies of the latter
two were recovered. Wife and four
children Of Samuel Moddax, bodies of
and TWO children have been re-
covered.
-Four wagons containing movers have
not been heard from, and it is thought all
the occupants have persisted. No news
has yet been received from the country
below here, but it is feared there has been
a very severe loss of life. The town coun-
Gil speedily organized relief measures and
several thousand dollars have already
been subscribed
The bodies thus far recovered will be
buried this afternoon. The district court
has adjourned and the court room has
been turned into a morgue.
