The floods came SO suddenly in other

BOLD INCENDIARIES.
A Startling Attempt to Burn the
Massachusetts State House.
THE MOTIVE PROBABLY ROBBERY
The Thieves Hoped to Divert the Watch
mans Attention SO as to Get at tho
Treasury while He Was Fighting the
Flames--An Advantage of Inattention.
fBY LEASED WIRE TO THE Srws.l

BosToN, Mass. May "a bold attempt
was made early this morning to set fire
to the State House. A quantity of ashes
and charred chips and paper, the rem
nants of material used to start the blaze,
were discovered in the front portion of the
building and furnished decided sensa-
tion to the sergeantat-arms aud other
officials.
There is not the slightest question that
the fire was incendiary. 1t was started
among shavings and other substances
which had evidently been placed in box.
The box was placed directly between the
storm doors. William johnson, mes
senger, was the first TO note the partially
burned fragments of the box and other
materials early this morning, and at once
notified the sergeant-at-arms.
No motive is ascribed other than rob-
berry, and that itself is on the theory that
the fire was started in the front portion
of the building In order to divert the at
tention of the watchman long enough to
allow the entering and rifling of the treas
ury department.. The doors were charred
but a few dollars will cover the actual
damage done. The watchman did not no
tice the blaze and his failing to do SO un-
doubtedly defeated the designs of the
incendiary upon the treasury.

GENERAL PROSPERITY"
A Persuasive Stump Orator Who
Whoops Things Up for Harrison.
CHAUNCEY DEPEW INTERVIEWED
Harrison, He Says, Has Grown Immense
ly in Popular Favor Since His Inaugu
ration--A Harmonious Convention at
Minneapolis Is Predicted.

New YORK, May. 9.-Chauncey M. De.
pew has just returned from his flying trip
West. and he says 1.-The most effective,
pervasive and persuasive stump orator
ever knew of is general prosperity, and he
is whooping il up for Harrison's renomi-
nation and reelection.
1.-The impartial observer cannot fail to
note the wild enthusiasm which has char
acterized the canvas for Mr. Blaine. He
discovers that there are many active poll
ticans and u strong majority who are hos
tile 10 the denomination of Gen. Harrison,
but he also observes that while the ma
jority of the Republicans are talking
strongly Of the record of the Administra-
tion and working strongly for its contin-
uance, the opponents of Gen. Harrison s
denomination have no organization or
concentration anywhere on anybody.
Failing to secure the assent OF Mr.
Blaine to run again. they are at sea as to
what to do. never have heard the Ques-
ton discussed with so much calmness
and in such judicial way. There seems
to be an utter absence Of partisanship.
But the consensus OF argument can be
formulated in n few sentences, The can
vass must be conducted on the record of
present Administration. Major McKin-
ley has the credit OF the existence of the
tariff law, aud justly SO, but the Admin
istration which sanctioned the law must
stand or fall by its results.
"The same Is true OF the present coin
age OF silver, Senator Sherman was the au-
thor of the present law, which Is a COM
promise. but the uncompromising atti-
tude of the President has been the safety
of honest money. The same is true of re-
ciprocity. Mr.. Blaine is its author, but
the administration must be successful or
otherwise as reciprocity is effective or
fallacy.
1--WE therefore are to make our fight
upon affirmative administration meas
ures, and the fight is TO be helped or him
dered by the personality of the candidate
And when we come to this part of the dis
cussion we discover that Gen. Harrison
has grown immensely in the public mind
since his Inauguration, and that his per-
sonality is more effective, more popular
and stronger than 1t was four years ago.
"While Republicans are in this frame
of mind and are looking for the best pos.
sible result as the outcome OF the consul
tation ut Minneapolis, ana will cordially
support whatever it may be, the condi-
tion of our Democratic friends is exactly
the reverse. i had thought that Cleve-
land would certainly be nominated, and
to swallow the pill But the revolt
against his silver views among the free
silver men OF the South, as met them,
was astonishing.
''On the other hand, there is such an in
famed determination TO nominate him In
most of the Western States that his defeat
at the convention, especially IL IL comes
around through the efforts of his enemie
in this state, must result In the defeat mt

carry what is left Of the Democratic ban
