MILWAUKEE, May S.-A Republican
who has been studying the political situa-
ton in Wisconsin since the Bennett law
began to figure as a factor, expresses the
opinion that the cause for alarm is that
the Republican majority in the leglsla-
ture may be overturned and Senator
Spooner displaced by a Democrat. The
Republicans had a majority of 6ftY-seven
in the last legislature. He figures that
Milwaukee is liable to contribute ten. The
delegation from this city at the last
election stood ten Republicans to three
Democrats. The late election in Mil
waukee, he points out, went to prove
that the proportion would be exactly re-
versed in case the Democrats then
made a sweeping victory as they
recently achieved. As a gain OF
ten by the Democrats from the Republi-
cans would count double against the lat
ter, this loss alone would reduce the Re
publican majority to thirtY-seven. AC-
cording to his calculation, two more vo es
are practically sure to slip away in RAJ
cine, two in Winnebago, one in the Ocon-
to district, one in Ashland. one in Fond
du Lac, two in Grant, one in La Crosse,
one in Chippewa, one in Crawford, one
in Sank, one in ManitOwoc, one in Port
age and one in S~beboygan. Here are
sixteen to be added to ten from Milwau-
kee, or twenty six in all. Double that
number, as it thus counts against the Re-
publicans, is 6fty-two-only three votes
necessary to give the Democrats control
on Joint ballot.

PROVIDENCE, r. L., May s. One
thousand two kundred people at the
Gladstone club tonight saw Patsy Cardiff
of Minneapolis fall down before George
Godfrey, the colored heavyweight cham
pion of Boston, in sixteen rounds. The
opinion was generally expressed by those
who claimed to be conversant with the
Western mans peculiar tactics that he
voluntarily surrendered the contest. The
81, 200 trophy was awarded 20 Godfrey.
Cardiff was remarkably clever in lodging.
His left eye became completely closed
during the struggle. The men fought
mostly at close quarters. The Boston
mans eye was dissolored and his face cut
by the powerful left handed blows of his
adversary. Neither received any body
punishment. In the sixteenth round the
men clinched near the ropes. when sud
denly Cardiff iell to the floor upon his
face. He was seized with nausea, it was
said. and suffering from exhaustion.
This closet the fight.

PITTsBURG, May s.-William Martin,
vice president of the American Fe ~leration
of L,bor, says: The carpenters having
secured their demands, the coal miners OF
the United States will be called out nrxt.
about May Is. TLere are 10, 900 Of them
in the Federation of Labor.
PTTsBURG, May Sin regard to the
report hat the miners of the United
States numbering $1,000, affiliated with
the American Federation of Labor, will
strike for eight hours. Vice President
Martin of the American Federation of
Labor, said to. night tn 1t it was decided
at the New York meeting that after the
carpenters strike was settled the de-
mands of the miners would be presented.
The carpenters struggle Is regarded aS
over, and whenever the miners are rcldy
the Federation will take charge Of the
matter. So far, however, they have not
notified the off na's of their intention To
demand eight hours.
Coal operators here say that the iiea
Of the coal miners striking for eight
hours is ridiculous. The men are paid
by the bushel and not by the day. They
are masters of their W time.

TEN LIVES LOST.
Poor Farm Buildings Partially
Destroyed by Fire.
Teu Of the Inmates Cremated
in the Flames.
Patsy Cardiff Whipped by
George Godfrey.

UTICA, N. Y. May S.-The larger por
ton of the Chenango county buildings,
located at Preston, near Norwich. burned
at midnight last night and ten inmates,
POSSIBLY more, were burned. The build
ings destroye we're the asylum, 10 which
we're about eighty inmates. and the pau
per house and idiot ward, in which were
forty inmates. Both were thSco-story
wooden buildings in good repair. having
wings of two stories in height. They
were valued at S25, 900 and insured for
$4,000, and are a total loss. The horri-
BILE part Of the disaster was the burning
OF ten IDIOTS who pennel in themselves
and were roasted alive.
The origin OF the fire is prosably
smoldering sparks from a slight fire which
occurred Wednesday afternoon. Deborah
Bible, a feeble minded old wcman, was
smoking a pipe and set her clothing and
bedding on fire, and was burned fatally
before the flames could be extinekshed.
The porter was awakened by a pauper,
and attempted to release the idiots, but
was driven back by the fire. He then
ran through the other buildings 10 his
night clothes rescuing the inmates. The
lhfhuG pdANCulb. SOulG VI nhOuI Ntlt
forced out, fought against release, but all
we're saved. Most of them were taken 70
the Methodist and Universalist clutches
till other quarters were provided. Some
escaped and took to the woods. where
the sheriff and deputies are hunting for
them today.
Keeper Wainwright rescued several at
the peril of his life. The scene at the
burning was Undesirable and the horrors
of Tongue Pointe were re-enacted on a
smaller scIle. The demented and terror
stricken inmates wandered around the
burning pile in a hopeless manner. The
great wooden building lit up the woods
tor miles around. A bucket brigade was
formed and about 100 labored to save the
smaller buildings in the rear with success
Coroner Fcrnald OF Norwich ordered
the removal OF the charred and black
ened remains in the ruins. Buckets OF
water were dashed upon them and at
length the roasted trunks were pulled out
and laid upon the grass. All were
burned beyond recognition. In some
instances the remains were removed with
shovels, nothing but the skull or a few
bones givinganyindications hat they were
once human beings.
The names of the dead discovered are
Sarah Mills, Sarah Gallagher, Sarah
Bailey, Laura Gray, Della Benedict, De
borah Dibble, Mary Ann Dibhle, Lucy
Warren and Amelia Atwood. An the de
partments of instruction were crowded
The rescue of the poor creatures, many o.
them old and feeble and others wild witt

wonder IS that - many were rescued
The people went at it haphazard. ap

means of the inmates and the magnitude
OF the catastrophe. Two women moi

not be given.

the ides of November came there would
go up from the Republican party a wall
Of defeat.
Bayne of Pennsylvania was opposed to
any general discussion of the bill. 1t
should be passed speedily. While this
measure was pending in congress the
business interests of the country would
be in a restless, uneasy condition, which
could only be relieved when the president
placed his signature on the bill. Refer
ring to the agricultural depression he ad-
mitted that in some parts of the country
the condition of the farmers was bad, but
he did not think it fair that the inference
should be drawn that the farmers of for
eign countries were in favorable circum
stances. On the contrary, he asserted
that the farmers of foreign countries were
IN a much more deplorable condition
than the farmers of the United States. In
the last ten years the farm lands of Eng
land, small in area, had deprecated 81
900, 600. 900 in value. while he asserted
that in the whole American union the
value of farm lands had not deprecated
one cent. be predicted that the next
census would show an increase in value of
the farms of the country over their value
in 1880.
Flower of New York spoke against the
bill, and the committee and house took a
recess.

Grants physicians, was lying in the
Presbyterian hospital partially paralyzed
and poverty stricken. The health of his
wife. who has been keeping a fashionable

Douglas. Their payments to him, includ-
ing s., 900 which he asserted Gen. Grsnt
intended to give him as a legacy,

never did the general any good. He only
looked wise" She was much panied by

Grant family has fulfilled all obligations
