BILL NYE AND THE PRESIDENT.
The Great Author highly Pleased Will
Mr. CIeveIand's Simplicity.

Mr. CIeyeIand's Simplicity.
WASHINGTON, January 3l.-Preadent
Cleveland to-day received two distin-
guished guests at the White House-Bll
Nye and Charles Dickens. They were
introduced to the President by Major
J. B. Pond. President Cleveland ac
corded them q private interview in the
Red Room. At its close he personally
escorted his callers all through the E1-
ecutive Mansion, explaining the different
rooms and giving succinct history OF
each. Bill Nye's modesty shone on the
occasion as conspicuously as his bald
head. He was delighted with the re-
ception. In speaking of it afterwards
ne said: --.------.--a5.-
81 was never more agreeably dlsap-
pointed in any one man than was with
Mr.. Cleveland. He is truly fine man.
What surprised me above all things was
his thorough simplicity, indebtedness
and fraukness. For man holding his
position he is asto-l -lishingly ingenious.
it is seldom that rub my knees against
greatness, and I have seen so little OF
shc world and the great things in it that
I was ct loss to talk to the President
in that free and easy way that I desired
and that he would have appreciated. I
found to-day the truth of the remark
made By some great man in the hazy
past that the man who can say smart
thing to-day cannot say smart thing
to. morrow. After I LETT tho President
there were great many smart things
flooding my mind, as it were. If I could
only have thought of them at the proper
time know the President and myself
wonld have had pleasanter time. But
for the moment | was tongue tied"
Others who were Present. however,
tell different tale. They say that
William captivated the President at the
outset By his quaint witticisms, and that
the interview was prolonged by Mr..
Cleveland the more to enjoy Bills orlgi-
nal remarks.

It will be seen then that the Governor
and the President are not plotting
against each other. Each will give loyal
support to the other according to the
way in which circumstances shape them
selves. Up to certain limit Gov. Hill
will support the President, but when it
becomes certain that the Cleveland sun
has set the Hill constellation will ascend
into sight. Governor Lill will never
have such another chance as this.
He is now prominently before the
people, and has all the prestige
which two terms as Governor has
given him. Suppose he should run
again and again be elected, he could add
very little to his reputation, while there
is always the danger of his doing some
thing which may without moments

DIR. Macken.ie.s Position .Justif,ed

BERLIN, March 31.-Max Kayser, aged
thirty-fve years, formerly member of
the Reichstag, died at Breslan, yesterday,
from the effects of an operation
removing a portion of his larynx, per-
formed by a skillful physician. Herr KAY
ser had previously submitted to the opera
ton of tracheotomy, the performance of
which is held to greatly diminish the risk
attending the operation of laryngotomy.
Within six months two such cases
have resulted fatally, in one of which the
patient, who was operated upon by DIR.
Bergman, died within four DAYS. The
fatal termination of these cases is consid-
cred sufficient justification of the position
taken by DIR. Mackenzie.

A BLAZING TIME.

Chicago's Fire-Fighters Have an Exciting
Experience Subduing a Confiagration i'm
Which q Large Business Block and Sew
eral Tenements were Destroyed-SeveraI
Firemen Seriously Injured.
CHICAGO, March 30.--Shortly after mid
night fire destroyed the Davis & Rankin
block, at Lake and Peoria streets, to-
gether with several tenement houses and
cottages adjoining, causing a loss of about
$500, 900. The block was a five-story brick,
125x150, and was occupied by half a dozen
firms, the largest being Davis s. Rankin,
dealers in creamery supplies. In the
building were also Zimmerman g.
Co., refrigerator manufacturers; Line,
Weaver & Co., fruit cans; the
Goss Printing and Press Company,
Lintholm Picture Frame Company, Chica-
go Egg Condensing Company and the
Steele Keye Drive Chain Company. The
fire was furious one and a Ali alarm
called out thirty engines. The blazing
building lowered above nest of closely
huddled frame houses, occupied mostly by
workingmen. These little houses sur
rounded the big block, and every wall
crushed a home. The fire was one of Incl
dents, narrow escapes of firemen follow
ing each ether in quick succession, and it
was remarkable that no one was
killed. Marshal Murphy, with COM
panies Nos. II and 81, made
his way to the fourth floor, while
truck 2's men were on the floor below.
Suddenly there was an explosion of hot
air that knocked down every man on the
fourth floor. All were badly bruised. The
names of the men are: Assistant Marshal
Murphy, Captain Anderson, Lieutenant
Sloat, Pipeman John Mcdonald, Pipeman
j. J. Leahy, Pipeman John Goodman,
Pipeman William Cannon and Driver Ben
Allison, of No. II, and Captain Weber,
Lieutenant Lynch and Pipemen Haas,
Kelly and Lesser, of No. "a, and Pipeman
Kirkland, of No. ID. Anderson and Kirk
land were the most badly used, but all
scrambled down the stairway and escaped.
Most of them remained on duty, though it
will be some days before they recover
from the effects of the explosion. Tn
total loss will probably reach $500, 900.
Davis Sc Rankin owned the building,
which cost them $4,000 two years ago.
The owners had over $4,000 worth of
stock, machinery and fixtures. The build
ing and stock were insured for $4,000.
Goss & Co. lose $4,000, insured for $685.
900. The loss of the other firms will
bring the figures up to about 100000. No
one seems to know what started the fire.
but the Waterman is sure it started on the
top floor.
During the time of its progress it was
one of the most stubborn and difficult fires
to deal with that has been experienced in
a long time.

Threatened strike of wagon-Makers.

ST. LOUIS March 20. = The agitation
among the wagon-workers continues. A
long petition for trifing advance has
been sent in to the leading manufacturers,
with request that an answer be made not
later than next Monday morning. The
manufacturers do not feel as though they
could make the advance in the present
condition of trade. The men feel that they
are entitled to it, and to substantiate their
claims, say that wages are below the aver
age of similar labor in other cities. In all,
there are some FIVE hundred hands in the
city who are likely to become involved if
the trouble resolves itself into a strike.
The number may be augmented by the
wagon-painters and blacksmiths.
