did not begin until he elected to the presi-

in his ability to deal with the situation as he found
it upon assuming office. Horace Greedy wrote to
him saying: accidentally you are not great

meet him. He knew that the whole thing must
unfold itself and realized that it was his duty as
president to deal with it. He was harassed on
all sides by those who thought they understood
the situation better than he did. One would tell
him that he was moving too fast another that he
was moving too slow, but time has put the seal OF
approval upon all his acts. No one ever began

my former suggestion were properly carried
out, believe such series of articles would
prove interesting to the general reader and
very helpful to good many, and would be
gladly published by THE MIRROR.

NEW YORK, August 3l.-The first body dis
covered today in the ruins Of the Park place
building is supposed to be that of Abraham
Derkaveritch Of 14l Delaney street. He was
employed in the bronze leaf factory of Rosen-
field d Co.
The body was not much burned. although at
first II looked to be. The second body is
thought to be that of a man named BlitZ, who
was also in the employ of Rosenfeld & Co.
found in the ruins created surprise and indig-
nation in all quarters. Although there were a
number of people still missing who were re-
ported by their relatives and friends to
have business in the fated building, il was
positively stated by Chief Reilly that there
were no more bodies in the ruins. When this
statement was made at 80 o'clock Wednesday
afternoon it was taken as official, but there
were those who shook their heads in doubt as
to its accuracy.
The police are once more in charge Of the
ruins, as the news that two more bodies had
been found soon spread and great crowds be-
gan to flock to the scene. The search
will now be continued, and it is
hoped that the authorities will push il until it
is certain that no more bodies are buried in the
mass of debris which still marks the spot of the
great disaster.
Two more bodies are supposed TO be under
meath the sidewalk in the vaults. but could not
be seen.

THE GRAPHIC SYSTEM
MAJ. Powell Explains 1t to the international
Geological Congress.

UeolOEfcal congress-
The meetings of the international congress
OF geologsts were resumed at Columbian Uni
versity this morning. The discussion to-
day was on the graphic system used
in geological work. Maj Powell, with the
aid Of number Of colored charts, gave q
concise description of the colors and meth
ods Of using them, in vogue in the geological
survey. for purposes Of representing different
formations, Maj. Powell gave full descrip-
ton Of the methods, and remarked that there
were difficulties in finding sufficient colors
and combinations for this purpose. He ex-
planned that the survey was a national institu-
ton and paid for out Of the taxes of the people,
and 1t was therefore necessary that the results
should be intelliglble to the general public and
not confined to scientists
In this regard it was a necessity that the
color system should be of as simple a character
as possible. The discussion was continued,
several notifications Of Mayor Powelrs plan
being proposed. Adjournment at the lunch
hour. however, put an end to the discussion.
This afternoon there was no session of the
congress, although many small conferences
we're going on. the topics being points of es-
peclal interest to the various groups. Many of
the members this afternoon made an excursion
to Luray cave, which offers especial induce
ments to geologists as an excursion point.
This evening from to II a reception has
been rendered to delegates by the directors
and members of the Geological Society at 1880
F street. Tomorrow the congress will hold its
final session and in the afternoon will make an
excursion down the Potomac, taking dinner at
Marshall Hall.
An especially noticeable thing about the ses-
sions OF the congress is the presence each day
OF a large number Of ladies, many of them
seemingly highly interested in the questions un-
der discussion.

OF INTEREST TO VERMONT.
Secretary Proctor and Gov. Page Confer With
Secretary Foster.

Secretary Proctor returned to Washington
last night bringing with him as his guest Gov.
Page of Vermont. They had talk at half-past
10 o'clock with Secretary Foster about several
matters concerning Vermont. Among these was
the appointment Of the inspectors Of sugar for
the state under the new maple sugar bounty
clause of the tariff act. Then they spoke of
Vermonts direct tax. which amounts to $179,-
600, but against which there is an Offset of
nearly half million dollars on account Of some
arms issued to the state years ago, but never
accounted for. The governor handed Secretary
Foster the recent act Of the state legislature ac
cepting the terms Of the direct tax act Of Con-
gress. The case will now come up for decision
on the part of the second controller, who has
before him an opinion by the Attorney General
to the effect that the offset should not operate.
Secretary Proctor said to STAR reporter that
he has not yet written to the governor formally
accepting or declining the appointment as Sena-
tor i'll place of Mr.. Edmunds, but that he sup
posed that he would have to write to him be-
fore he left town. The governor will leave to-
morrow and the Secretary will remain q week.
