WASHINGTON, MAY 2.-SolicitOr Gen
eral Taft was to-day summoned from
Washington to San Diego, Cal, to the
deathbed of his father, Hon. AlphOnso
Taft, eX-secretary of war, and eX-min
lister to Austria and Russia. Judge Taft
suffered so severely from pneumonia
while in st. Petersburg, Russia, as
United States minister, that he never
fully recovered. A complication
of ailments followed, and pres
emily he went to Chill, South
America, where he spent some time
trying to recuperate his health. 1t was
on his return that he stopped at San
Diego, Cal, where, for time. his health
appeared to improve. He was intend
to return to Chill when summer wealth
ercame. The sad news of a change for
the worst was against what his family
and friends here had reason to expect,
since the last adviceS from him encOur
aged hope.
CINCINNATI. o., May 2.-The family
of Charles P. Taft. of this city, received
brief news tonight of the dying condi-
ton of Judge Alphonso Taft in San
Diego. IL is feared that his son, Will
lam H. Taft, the solicitor general, will
not arrive before the supreme moment.
The family OF Charles P.Taft have been
trying to find means of reaching him by
wire, but have not succeeded. He
started to go to Arkansas Pass, Tex,
to loOok after a large ranch there. He
is supposed to be either at Arkansas
Pass or near there to tonight, or pos
sibly at Corpus Christi.

AUSTIN, Mimi. April ?. The pretty
and prosperous village of Lyle, situated
Just this side of the Iowa line and twelve
miles south of here, ,on the Chicago, Min
neapolis & st. Paul and Kansas City
railroads, is in ashes. Out of about
thirty business houses, which had we'll
filled stores and thrifty tenants when
the sun arose this morning, only four re-
main at sunset. The fire which
caused this devastation originated
at about 9:15 this morning in
small dwelling house occupied by John
E. Flood. The house was consumed in
a very short time, and the flames rap
idly spread to the adjoining buildings.
The people at once became alarmed,
and telegraphed to this place for as
sistance. The call for help was re-
sponded to by both hose companies and
about 200 citizens. When they ar
rived the fire was beyond control, (
and but little could be done. ;
All the business houses on both sides Of
the principal street were destroyed,
Hunting & Co.'S elevator, with all the
grain it contained, and the Kansas City
and Milwaukee depots. The damage
will exceed 100000, and while it is i'm
possible to learn the exact amount
of insurance at this writing, 1t
will not exceed $4,000. Among
the principal losers were Lund &c
Lundland, dealers in general mer-
chandise. Their stock was valued at
$4,000, covered by $4,000 insurance.
John Myber, general store, loss SlS,O00
$4,000 insurance; Myers & Frazier,
loss $4,000, $4,000 insurance. A. j.
Knudson's hardware and agriculture
implement business was total loss,
estimated at So, 900. The Commercial
hotel, Stanley's barber shop, Hart 81
Conner's saloon, Aren's meat market,
McCartey Bros saloon and number OF
residences were burned. The burned
district covers the entire four blocks.
There is strong suspicion that it is the
work of an lncendiary.

at present is not this question of p1li-
ties, but rather who are to be the nomi
nees OF the different parties in these dis
tricts in 1892. In many of the outside
districts the nominee of the leading
party can even now be named. In the
city districts the conventions only can
decide such questions.
In the First district the Democratic
nominee will, of course, be Capt. Harries.
the present member, and an able and
popular man. On the Republican side
there are already half-dozen names
being prominently mentioned, among
them Senator James A. Tawney, of Wi

ment, of Steele, and j. Arnold Keyes.
of WinOna, are looking on with wistful
eyes. and neither would refuse the lob
if offered them.
Senator Tawney is clearly in the lead
and can have the nomination if he wants
it. His record in the late legislature
was good one and will certainly aid
him in future political conflicts. The
first bill he introduced was to repeal the
struck jury law which allowed the rich
a special jury that the poor could not
obtain. This measure passed and is now
a law. The next bill pushed through
the senate by Mr.. Tawney was one pro-
viding for the revision of the statutes.
This died in the house, but OIL the last
night of the session the indefatigable
Winonan took uD a similar house
bill and pushed it through the
senate. The most important meas

Miners in France and Belgium
Fight Police and Military.
LONDON, May 2.-From reports re-
ceIved mere it is learned that the turbu
lance continues in the mining districts
of France and Belgium. Resentment for
the sentence of two years imprison-
meDt upon the Anarchist leaders in
the riot which took place in Charlyille
and st. Quinton in France led to fresh
scenes of trouble In this place, while in
Seraeng and Liege. in Belgium, at
tempts were made by the strikers to
prevent any of the men who refused TO
join their ranks from working. When
the non-strikers attempted to com
mence work they were attacked by
with shower of stones and
other missiles. The gendarmes
who had been placed on duty at the
mines TO protect the men who were
willing to work, found that all their
efforts to repress the disturbance were
useless, and they were finally compelled
to invoke the aid of the military At
the HarIost colliery, in st. Nicholas,
where these soldiers have been ordered
to preserve the peace, a rifle fire
falled TO awe the rioters, although
several of them fell wounded.
Inc strikers very stubbornly
resisted the military, and even with
stood charge made Oh them with
drawn swords, and only dispersed in
the face of a cavalry charge. About
tnlrty OF the rioters were arrested.
During the riot on May day at Bekes, in
hungary, number of enraged peasants
made savage. attack on the chief mag
lStrate of the place for prohibit
ing the people from holding May
day demonstrations. The magis-
trate was thrown to the ground,
and the peasants trampled upon
and kicked his prOstrate form. infiicting
man. Upon the military coming to the
rescue of the imperiled magistrate a
sharp atfray took place between them
and the desperate peasants. The sol
diers charged upon the crowd and twoo of
the rioters were pierced through the
body by bayonets. The rioters were
finally forced to retreat, and
two of them were captured and
are under arrest. The fighting
caused the greatest excitement. and the
affairs are i'll a dangerous shape and the
authorities were compelled to declare
the place in state of siege. All the
shops have been closed, aud the latest
reports say that the people are wildly
excited.
News of further riOting in Belgium
baS been received here. 1t Is learned
that conflict took place in Mons to-
night between the gendarmeS and the
miners, and that the officers opened fire
upon the rioters, two of whom were Sc
rlOusly wounded.

best of all, insure the election of two
staunch Democrats to the lower house
of the national congress.
The new Sixth district is pretty evenly
balanced politically, although the Re
publicans seem to have slightly the best
of it. The result will usually hinge on
the labor vote of st. Louis county, and,
unless the Republican party changes its
leadership in that section, the Demo-
Gratis will secure the congressman every
time. A number of prominent Demo-
Gratis are already being mentioned for
the nomination. prominent among whom
are Hon. II. c. Stiyers, of Brainerd,
who is especially strong with the labor
ing classes; Senator George Gels
sci. of Morrison. straight
forward, honest and conservative
man in whom the people have conf
dence, and Senator Keller. the Stearns
county inventor. In ambition to these
Hon. II. II. Hawkins, of Carlton county,
and Hon. c. D'Autremont, of Duluth,
are being groOmed in the northern end
of the district. Any one of the five
would prove strong candidate. and

feating any man the Republicans can

Blaine and Foster had three hours
conference to-day on the fisheries ques-

a rough draft of the instructions
he had prepared for the guidance
of the United States agent at the
seal islands during the coming season; /;
also the sailing instructions of the rev.
enue cutter Rush, which will leave San
Francisco on the 14th inst for Behring

cate the nature of the instructions in
either case, but said the matter was
such delicate one that the utmost
pains were being taken in preparing
the instructions SO as not to trehch on
treaty rights or agreements.

wisely determined to retire at the end
OF the next term. Senator DAVIS was
pretty extensively advertised through
out the state when his interest bill was
under fire in the senate, but this
advertising did him an injustice
He IS not crank. In drawing
his bill he acted on the theory that the
people were in favor of usury laws, and
he simply tried to strengthen the pres
ent laws and reduce the rate of interest
at the same time. Regardless of the
merits or dement's of the bill. Senator
Davis is entitled to great credit for the
tight he made III pushing the bill

LONDON. May 2.-Infiuenza is spread
ing rapidly in London. Many barris-
ters and officials of the law courts have
been attacked by the disease. In addi-
ton to members of the house of
lords and house of commons already
referred to as suffering from the epi-
demic, several other members of the
lower house are suffering seriously
from the epidemic. Herbert Spencer,
the English philosopher, is under the in
fluence of la grippe. Mr. Spencer is
confined to his room, suffering from the
prevalent malady. At Woolwlch ar
senal so many of the workmen
are suffering from influenza that
the work there is greatly in
terfered with. At Leicester the disease
has appeared in serious form. Num-
bers of people are already confined to
their beds. AT Widnes, Lancashire, in
fiuenza has developed into veritable
epidemic of dangerous and peculiar
type. The physicians of that town and
neighborhoOd are working night and
day. AT Sunderland there have been
several fatal cases of influenza.

Stretched His Neck.

SEATTLE, Wash, May 2.-Jack Smith
was caught by miners at Gilman to-day
with bottle of kerosene in his possess
sion, acting in suspicious manner. The
miners claimed he had been hired by
the coal company to create a prejudice
against them and to furnish preteXt
for having guards at the mine. The
miners, therefore, hung Smith to tree,
with a rope around his neck, until he
confessed that he had been sent by a
man named Brundage for the purpose of
burning the buildings. He was then
let down and taken to iall.
