Special TO the Gazette
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-The pension
portfolio still hangs fire, and it Is by no
means assured that Warner will refuse
the place 1t seems to be generally ac-
cepted that Merrill will not get the office.
He has, like Tanner, been too glib with
MS tongue, and the president is not ia
Yorably impressed with his actions.
Warner has gone TO Kansas CITY to con-
fer with his law partner, and the matter
is still open. He viii be given all the
time he wants TO consider the matter
Should he refuse. the Office viii be ten
dered to either eX-Cnmmauder Fairchild
or eX-Commander Rea. knefier of Indi-
ana is spoken of, but it is not belieyed
that state will get such an important Of
flee after having received its full quota.
Warner and Noble visited the president
at Deer Park, but no conclusion was
reached. That he is the choice of the
administration is very evident and they
are reluctant to release him. He is now
wavering between the acceptance of an
important public Office and the sacrifice
Of his private business for nearly four
years and his duty 70 his own interests.
That he would make most acceptable
commissioner no one doubts, and he will
be pressed to accept the Office in spite of
his dissemination to do so.

LEE RrscrERs sr1LL Ar WORE

QUEBEC, p O., Sept 2i.-Although
rain fell necessarily last night the work
of digging out the victims of the land
slide was carried on through the entire
night. The efforts of the workers were
concentrated on the spot where q man
named Kemp was supposed to be. At
clock this morning work was far
enough advanced to allow him to be seen
at distance of fifteen feet from the base
of operations Kemp wOuld sing
couple of popular songs and then shout
out: ''Police! Police! The poor man is
either insane or in delerium. A man named
Beauchamp, who with his two brothers
had worked at the wreck without sleep
ever since the land slide, crawled into a
small opening to get ut Kemp but had
not gone six feet when the whole mass of
stone came down on his back. Beau
champ however being a strong, courage
Gus man managed to crawl back couple
of feet but could not move an inch furth-
er, his progress being blocked by
THE CORPSE OF A WOMAN.
A Redemptionist father who passed
the night on the scgne encouraging the
workers kneeled down and began to re-
cite a PRAYER. The men, although al
most exhausted by their constant hard
struggles and weakened by the pouring
rain which inundated all about them,
seeing Beauchanp apparently doomed to
certain death, rushed 10 his rescue with
all the energy of desperation; and, after
great efforts, their comrade was pulled
out alive and without serious injury
though somewhat stunned and bruised.
John Nolan, who was thought to nave
been killed at tine beginning OF the catas-
trophe, was found still alive, though he
had been imprisoned under mass OF
ruins three feet deep for thirty-six hours.
AID FOR THE SURVIVORS.
At meeting OF the city council last
night $500 was voted to cid the surviving
victims of the catastrophe. The city will
also bear the expense of the funerals OF
those killed by the falling cliff
The chief city engineer has presented a
report on the condition of Dufferin ter
race and adjoining grounds. 1t shows
that as late as 1880 he pointed out the
danger the houses now demolished
were exposed to, and suggested
work costing S275, 600, which would
have made that portion of the rock safe
10 the inhabitants below. He makes
certain recommendations calculated to
prevent a further falling away of the
cliff, which viii probably be carried
out.
Coroner Belleau opened the inquest
this morning, and after a short sitting
adjourned it until Tuesday next.
