wanamaker's Report.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-In the annual
report of Postmaster General Wanamaker
he recommends fourth assistant, to
to whom shall be deputed certain duties
now part work of the overworked first. as
sistant postlnaster-general He makes sug-
gestions Of cheap telegraph for people in
connection with the postal services, saying
contracts for such work could be made
with the telegraph companies without in
any way interfering with other work of
the companies. The delivering of tele-
grams by regular postal messengers is ex-
plsined at some length, being given as one
of the arguments for cheap telegraph
as an adjunct of the postofice. He
asks authority from congress to
make contracts Tor the purpose Of trying
what he recommends. He favors civil SER
vice for the department which will allow
correct training and merited promotions of
clerks: extension of the free delivery sys-
TEN to towns of 5000. or with a revenue Of
$1,000, is recommended. One cent postage
will come in time, but are not now ready
for it. Postal savings bank, at fourth
class postofices, where such facilities are
needed, are suggested.

The American Association and the
Brotherhood viii Unite Against the
National League.
COLUMBUS, o., Nov. 29.-Unless the
present base ball deal miscarries, the Amer
lean Association and the Brotherhood will
make ac0mmon cause against the National
league in ten cities next season. The pre-
iliminary arrangements have been con.
cluded and the only thing now neces-
sary is the formal acceptance of the
proposed plan uf amalgamation of the com
mittee of the Brotherhood. The present
proposition is to combine the present
Brotherhood teams in Chicago. Pittsburg,
Buffalo, New York, Philadelphia, Boston,
Cleveland and indianapolis with the As.
.sociation teams of Columbus and st. Louis,
merging the Athletic and Brotherhood
clubs in Philadelphia and dropping the
Louisville and Baltimore clubs entirely. The
latter management has been correspond
ing with the league Magnates and Louis
Vile is considered dead as base ball town.
This line of action has been taken only
after long consideration by the Associa-
ton clubs and after full study of the stu
alton. The National league did its best to
wreck the Association by inducing Cin-
cinnati, Kansas City and Brooklyn to leave
its ranks and now it has come to the sur
vival of the fittest The Association clubs
concerned in this deal will sign all their
men and this will maken open war upon
the National league by joining the Brother
hood at its December meeting.

The Pennsylvania Delegates.

WAsHNGToN,N Nov. .29. Great interest was
manifested at the meeting of the Pennsyl-
vania congressional republican delegation,
which assembled at the capitol this after
noon to confer upon the speakership and
kindred questions. More concern was
shown as to the action which would be
taken in regard to the clerkship than in a
determination of the delegation relative to
the speakership, and two rival Pennsylya-
mans, who are candidates for the former
office, Major Cannon and Mr.. Mcpherson,
talked earnestly with their friends

was short one, occupying only half an
hour. Upon assembling, on motion Of

Princeton. 10: yale. q.

New YORK, Nov. 28.-Ten thousand peo.
pie yelled themselves hoarse when the
Princeton football team scored the first
touchdown in their great game with Yale
to-day They cheered again when this
touchdown resulted in goal, and when
Princeton before the game closed secured
another, people simply went wild with joy.
There were also about 5000 people on
hand who did not applaud. They were
supporters of Yale, and were in the ma
iority by nearly 5000. 1t was with q feel.
ing of bitter disappointment that they saw
their team beaten 10 to DIN the final and
most eventful game of the year. At least
5000 people applied for admission to the
grounds between IL and 2:4O O'CLOCK, and
many of them had to be turned away
Those who secured admission wallowed
knee-deep in mud. The heavy rain of the
previous day left its impression on the
grounds. and made them unpleasant for
spectators. The mud was no detriment
however, for the enthusiasm and excite.
ment reached the boiling point.

A Cyclone in North Carolina,


+ CHARLOTTE, N. c., Nov. ga very de-
structive cyclone passed over portion Of
Buford county yesterday, doing great dam
age. Houses were blown down and trees
torn up by the roots. The residence of a
farmer near Washington. the county seat,
was blown to atoms and the entire family
consisting of father, mother, and four chill
dren were killed instantly. A grown
daughter was to have been married to-
to celebrate the happy event. a factory
at Washington was wrecked and two peo-
pie killed. while dozen others received
bad injuries. Miss Matte Chase, the pretty
daughter Of farmer, was caught up in
the cyclone and carried away upon the

meagre and it is impossible to obtain the
names of the killed this morning.

Reed in the Lead.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-[Special.] IA
great effort is being made by Reeds lieu
tenants tonight to drive every wavering
vote into his column on the first ballot.
The Reed men say there is no doubt of
their man on the second ballot, but the
persistent effort that is being made to nom-
mate him on the first ballot encourages his
opponents to work the harder to prevent a
nomination Immediately, and they still
cling to the belief that some of his first
supporters will desert The strength of
the different candidates on first ballot is as
follows: Reed, 70; Mckinley, 81: Cannon,
Il; Henderson, 12; Burrows, 9, with three
votes impossible to place. Minnesota will
vote: COmstOck and Hall for Reed, Sni-
der for Mckinley, Lind and Dunnell for
Cannon. Hansbrough of North Dakota,
is for Henderson,; South Dakota, Pickler
for Henderson and Clifford for Cannon.
Carter of Montana, for Reed, and Wilson
OF Washington, for Mckinley. Edward
Mcpherson of Pennsylvania, will be nom-
mated for clerk; Captain Wheat Of Wis
consln, will probably be made candidate
for doorkeeper, in consequence of the
seven votes of that state being cast for
Reed. Captain Reed of Minnesota, may
be selected for sergeant alarms, but it
is believed that combination has been
made with some delegation to give them
that plum in consideration of votes for
Reed. The latter's followers are pulling
every string tonight to make his success
sure.

The Tribune Holocanst.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 2.-This afternoon it
began to snow, the snow melting as it fell
and forming slush, but that seemed to
make but little difference in the size Of the
crowds that were gathered about the scene
OF Saturday nights disaster. The ruins
were still smoking and too hot to allow
anything in the way of search for bodies
being made, but the crowd still clustered
about specializing about the number of VIC
tins who would yet be removed from the
ruins. Mr.. Bletnen had men atwork about
the north end Of the building investigating
the condition of the presses, and they seem
to be in such shape as to allow of their use
as soon as they can be cleared up and set
up IN another Office, which will be in a few
days. All of the papers came ont as usual
to-day and are all ready for business. The
latest and most probable theory as to the
origin of the fire has been advanced by
CHARLES Smith. the plucky elevator man,
who took three trips after the elevator
shaft was on fire. He says he saw through
the traDsom over the door next to the room
OF the Union League club flames be-
fore they appeared in the club room.
This room was occupied by an artist
named Herbert. There were no papers in
the club room, but the flames reached that
room from the studio through the wooden
door. This story is given general credence
as to the solution Of the mystery of the
origin OF the fire, and it shows that the
names had gained considerable headway
in the north end Of the building before dis
covered. 1t cannot yet be definitely de.
cided whether there are any more bodies
in the ruins. search Tor them being neces.
sary to establish that. No more have been
reported as missing. Some newsboys have

are all safe. Who the men were who were
seen to shoot themselves rather than suffer
from the flames has not been decided.

Congressman Hansbrough Will Make
Request for Three Public
Buildings for North Dakota.
One Will Be Located at Fargo, An
other at Grand Forks, and
the Other at Bismarck.
The Buildings Are to Be Used for
U. s. Court, Customs and
Postoffice.
Public Buildings for Dakota.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-[Special.] 1.-The
congressman from the new states would
like to take home with them some public
buildings, eight in all, for North Dakota,
Montana and Washington. They feel that
they need them, and they are going to ask
for them in plain words. Some of the con-
gressmen have been to interview the treas
ury officials, and Congressman Hans
brough and Wilson at least are preparing
bills in which their requests will be speci-
fed. Mr.. Hansbrough wants building
for Fargo and for Grand Forks, and one
for Bismarck to be used for holding United
States courts, the customs and postoffice.
Mr.. Carter will ask for buildings at Hele-
ma and Butte.
THE GRAND FORKS POsTOFFICE.
Some time ago the condition of the post
Office at Grand Forks, N. D., was such that
its present quarters must be enlarged and
the owners asked for an increase of rent.
In response to this request an allowance
of 81 200 year for rent has been promised
by the treasury officials.
BUILDINGS FOR MONTANA.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-Mr. Wilson has
at this early date interviewed the super
vising architect of the treasury to find out
what appropriation should be asked for
buildings at Spokane Falls, Seattle and
Tacoma. He proposes to put in request
for a 100000 building at each of the three
cities.
THE SPEAKERSHIP CONTEST.
There is little change in the speakership
contest to day. but 1t is apparent that Reed
will be nominated early in the caucus.
The effort to prejudice the west against
Reed by springing his wool, lead and silver
record has come to grief. The history of
the man in reference to these interests. as
shown by the Congressional Record, re-
flute the charge that he has been an enc
my. Delegate Dubois, of Idaho, is un-
qualified in cOndemning the charge that
Reed opposed the tariff on lead. He says
that on the contrary Reed came to the
rescue of the lead men in the house and
royalty supported swith his giant strength
the maintenance of the existing lead
duty. He says the same is true
as to his action on wool. Reeds a bi-lnet
alist, but believes it is necessary to ap-
proach free and unlimited silver coinage
bya gradual process which will not change
our monetary system. 1t is understood
that the president will recommend a silver
policy which can and probably will be ap-
proved by the whole country. The admin
istration measure is believed to contem-
plate the purchase of all the silver product
of the country, while having control of the
coinage with the government. The sug-
gestion that silver bullion be accepted as a
deposit instead of bonds to secure bank
circulations meets with some favor.

TIMBER TRESPASS.
The Local Land OfIice's Decision In the
Cooper Case.

In the case OF the Y. s. VS.. J. French
Cooper the local land Office has just rem
dered decision. Cooper made pre-
emption filing on the Pecos river, the
land carrying valuable timber, and he
was charged with having taken up the
land for the purpose chiefly OF securing
this timber. The &. S. timber agent re-
ported the entry for cancellation; the
entry was accordingly suspended and a
hearing ordered. Testimony was taken
and the local office now decides that Mr..
Cooper Is shown to have substantially
complied with the law. The evidence
shows that Cooper cleared the land OF
timber for the purpose OF carrying out the
provisions OF the presumption act, using
what timber he could in improving his
place, and selling the surplus which he
clearly had right to do. Indictments
for alleged cutting OF public timber are
pending before the courts, and this deci-
sion by the local land Office will have an
important bearing upon these cases.
