WASHINGTON, Aug. 25. - Senator
Hansbrough, of North Dakota, is in
Washington to look after the his state
matters in the departments. He would
like to settle the difficulty in the Fargo
posto.fice, but in the absence Of both the
president and the postmaster general,
no conclusion will be reached. lie
talks about North Dakota crops, and as
serts that the harvesting has swallowed
up politics in the Northwest. On the
successor Of the late John r. Gamble,
Senator Hansbrough said: ..There will
be bitter fight in the South Dakota
congressional, district, where a successor
to the late Congressman John E. Gam
BILE is soon to be elected. The Repub-
icans will probably nominate Candles
brother, an attorney at Yankton. A
farmer named Harden, who sympa-
thizes to certain extent with the Al.
lance following, viii be the ci,cice OF
the Democrats. The district is Repub-
ican, but the Harden crowd will make
the Republicans work hard, as the Al
lance men and Democrats viii probably
work together. Harden's farm is heav-
lily mortgaged, and that will be one
great point that will be raised in his
faytr.''

Militarism in Europe.


The people of Italy are sorely tax
ridden and the country is almost bank
rupt, yet the government is going to
build three II, 500 ton ironclads in adj
dition to the enormously expensive
fleet that Italy already possesses. In
Russia the grain crops this year are a
failure, and the poor people may have
to suffer in consequence, but the Gar
has just ordered the purchase of a MIL
lion new rifles for his army. Mothers
and little ones may go hungry, but
each king and emperor is determined
to make his fighting forces stronger
than those of his neighbor, regardless
of the cost.

MackeraI Catch RAILING of.

GLOUCESTER, Mass, Aug. %. = A
gentleman engaged in the purchase of
mackeral off the coast of Ireland for
three years, writes that the catch of
Irish mackeral is only about half Of that
of last year. A large amount of fish
were consumed fresh during the spring,
and but little fish were cured for the
American market in consequence.
Should the mackeral catch fall off for a
few more years in this same ratio as
during the past few years, there will be
a total failure of this business, says the
writer.

THIRIY-FIVB RECOVERED
The Finding of Bodies in New
Y0rk's Fatal RSuilGing
Still Goes On.
Twenty Have Been Positively
Identified and Eighty-Eight
Are Still Missing,
Indicating That at Least 122 Lives
Have Been Lost in the
Terrible Tragedy.

NEW York, Aug. a5.-Up to $50 p.
m. two more bodies had been taken from
the ruins, making thirty-four in ali thus
far recovered. Two more Of the bodies
have been identified. They are Henry
Denim, aged Is, and Conrad Schmidt,
OF 125 East One Hundred and Eighth
street.
Late in the night the workmen, in re-
moving some timbers, revealed the arm,
head and breast of d woman. She lay
on her back, and large press crushed
her down with its weight and rendered
the removal of the body impossible with
out the use of derrick. twas allowed
to remain where found until morning.
A canvass was mercifully thrown over
the face, which showed no sign of suffer
ing, she probably having been stunned
before the huge press crushed out her
life.
The Thirty-fourth Recovered.
An 1880 a. m. the sum total of the
bodies recovered from the ruins was
thirty-four The number positively
identified is twenty and the number re-
ported missing lightweight. This
would indicate that 1872 persons lost
their lives by the collapse of the build
ing. The worst part of the tragedy is
yet to come, as evidenced by fearful
stencil which indicates unknown horrors
and an almost inestimabie number of
bodies buried beneath the weights of
rubbish and machinery.
At midnight a terrible stencil came
from that part of the ruins occupied by
the restaurant. 1t is probably that this
spot will add a fearful tale even to the
present estimates OF the horror.
Early in the moTning a small foot, ankle
and part of @ leg, probably girls or
boys was recovered. The members
was badly burned and looked as though
it had been burned away from the body.
The wClkmen are fast clearing away
the debris and it seems highly possible
that 2 great number Of bodies will be
recovered before daylight.
AT 80 a. IN. another body was found.
It was that Of a man about thirty years
old. It was found in sitting posture
with the right hand pressed to the
heart.

a deplorable accident on the Richmond,
Nicholasville, Ironie and Beattyville
road near Nicholasville. The regular
train had just gone out when a special
engine bearing Judge Richards, pulled
out. Wheeling around the curve at
high speed the engine dashed ON a bridge
sixty feet high, and in the middle of it
Mrs. Mary Richardson and her three
children,S, 6 and 4 years respectively,
were walking. The mother huddled her
little ones around her and like a stone
faced the death that was coming. She
and two of the girls were killed, and the
third child was saved only because the
mother had crouched her down at the
outer edge of the bridge, where the
engine just missed her.
