DIGGING FOR CORPSES.
Hundreds of Men Working Among
the Ruins at Quebec.

QUEBEC, Sept. 21.-Great activity pre-
vailed to-day at the scene of the disaster.
Mayor Langeler and most of the city
councillors were on the ground all
day encouraging the labOrers at work
and attending TO the various details.
A great deal more work was done to-
day than Yesterday, the men having ac-
auired through practice the way of US
ing their strength and energies to the
best end. The number of men working
at the debris is upwards of 200.
This afternoon a squad OF "B'' bat
tery men discovered the body of Mrs.
Kemp under mass of stones, beams and
rafters. The head only was clear. In
order 10 release the body, the men
attempted to remove stone weighing
some 500 pounds, but it crashed down
upon the Woman's head, smashing it to
a Jelly. The body was recovered later.
but leg was torn off in pulling it
out of the wreck. The corpse of Mar
garet Welsh was reached under
piIe of masonry. The head was almost
severed from the body, which was hOr-
ribly mutilated. These are the only
additional corpses found after twenty
four hours work. The quantity of
rocks. lumber and masonry is so great
that three or 1Our nOurS Oh ndIu WORK
does not show any difference in
the debris. 1t is thought that
sixteen persons are still missing
and that they were in the Easements of
The buildings at the time of the land
slide, The debris must be cleared level
to the ground in order to get at them,
and this work will occupy several days.
Three sailors are supposed to be buried
under huge pile of fallen rocks,
the top of which is about thirty
feet above the level of the road.
The guard room of the river police
station has been transformed into
mortuary chapei,a and the twenty cOrpses
recovered have been laid in row in
front of the altar, in which a number
of tapers and lamps are burning.
Aromatic essences are also burned
to counteract the stencil arising from
the decomposing bodies. The chapel
Is open to the public, and the people
flock there en- masse. Twenty heaTses
have been secured for the funeral, which
takes place tomorrow. A solemn serv-
ice will be held at st. Patrick's church.
Members of the provincial parliament,
CITY councillors and other prominent
citizens will attend the funeral service.

MILLER WON'T NEEDLE.
Creek Indians Can Spend Their
Funds as They Please.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-Attorney
General Miller, in his opinion deciding
that the United States had no jurisdic-
to- in the matter of funds of the Creek
nation, pail to Mr.. Crawford, after an
elaborate discussion of the subject, says
that he has expressed no opinion on
the merits of the claims on one side or
the other.
Il will further say" continued the at
turney general, that l shall not attempt to
control the action of any district attorney
who may conclude that it is mis- duty to
have this matter investigated by the grand
general, will not undertake this investiga-
tiOn.''
The attorney general finds the facts
to be as represented in the report of
Agent Gardner, that congress made an
Appropriation of 81 2SO, ,357 to the Creek
nation for the release of their title to
certain lands. OF this sums 2, 600, 600 was
made permanent fund for the benefit
of these Indians and $3.50, 0,S57 was to be
paid to the treasurer of the Creek
nation, OF such person as the council
shall direct to receive it. Of this sum
$4,000 was used to pay off note for
twice the amount held by an Arkansas
bank.
The balance of this money was paid. he
saws to the proper person, and Il do not see
that /, as attorney general of the United
States am authorized to disregard the dis
cretion plainly granted to the Creek council
in the disposition Of these funds and to at
tempt the recovery thereof.

JUDGE CROFT EXPLAINS.
He Says He Is a Republican and
Unitarian.

OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 21.-Judge Croft,
who was recently selected by the presi-
dent as commissioner of the general
land office, was to-day shown a tele-
gram containing certain charges against
him, impeaching his Republicanism and
religion. He said;
The charge that am not Republican is
absolutely false. l have voted for every he
publican candidate for president, including
Abraham Lincoln in 1864, up to the time l
cast my vote for President Harrison. except
ing TO vote for Horace Greeley IN 1877. L
have voted the straight Republican ticket IN
Nebraska for nineteen years, saving
and excepting the vote which ] cast
for my partners father, Gen. Milton
T. Montgomery, gallant soldier, who lost an
arm in the service Of his country. Twas
elected judge in this district on the non-par-
tisan ticket in 1887 By between 1000 ana
5000 majority. On the ticket with me were
two candidates belonging to the Democratic
party. Judge Hopewell and / were the Re-
publicanS on the non-partisan ticket, he nav
ing had the Endorsement of the Republican
convention. which / did not have.
There were fonr judgeships to hll
and the issue with the people was a
non-parlisan judiciary All the candidates
on the non-partisan ticket had the unani-
nous Endorsement of the bar Of this district.
The appointment has not met with an ad-
verse criticism in this state or elsewhere to
my knowledge or to the knowledge OF my
friends i am q member of the Unitarian
church of this city, and not an atheist.

EDWARDS LOOSE METHODS.
The Consul General at Berlin
Makes a Bad Break,

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-LOud complaints
have been made recently by the manu-
facturers of England and France that
their exports 10 this country are ap-
praised at higher prices and heavier
import laid ON them than the exports of
German manufactures of the same
kind. II is singular that this complaint
is officially voiced, not by the consul
general of London or Paris. but by Con-
sui Gen. Edwards, of Berlin. Ap-
praiser HOyne has received a letter
from him. in which he charges that
GersOn & Co.. of the Mode Bazar, of
Berlin, are in collusion with Marshal
Field & Co., Carson, Pirie. Scott Il
Co., Mandel Bros, and other large
houses in Chicago. to invoice GerSOn
& Co.'S cloaks at less than their value so
as to reduce the duty, thereby lessening
the goods to the merchants and under
selling the manufacturers of England
and France. Mr.. Hoyne is very indig
nant at this charge, especially as. he
says, it is complicated with neglect of
official duty on the part of Consul Cen
eral Edwards. Section CAT of the con-
sular regulations requires of eOnsuls
general to ascertain the market value of
goods in the principal market of the
countries in which they are located and
to certify TO the correctness of every in
voice that passes through their hands.
But Consul General Edwards has re-
fused to make these certificates. That
is, he in every instance obliterates that
part of the certificate referring to the
price before he appends his signature.

affairs of the embarrassed Robinson-Fos-
ter Electric Motor company have dis
continued their work, being unable,
they claim. to accomplish anything of
consequence. They claim to have been
handicapped by the directors and have
concluded 1t is useless to labor under
such disadvantages as the annual meet
ing takes place next week, and it was
impossible to present full report by
that time. The committee reached the
opinion that the reason for the downfall
of the company was lack of harmony
among directors. The cash book showed
that in April last the four original di-
rectors sold LOCO shares into the treas
ury for 81 a share, and that the seven
directors held among themselves over
$4,000 shares. The receipts from the
sale of stock were about 100000, for
which the company have TO show their
plant, with an $1,000 mortgage on it and
some $1,000 worth of finished motors.
