T1TUsvILLE, June 11.-Sunday, the sew

approaches over the quiet and obliterated
town. There will be no force of men at
work in the ruins tomorrow. The gangs
who have labored day in and day out demand
rest, and there are not enough others to fill
their places.
To-day, at A M, another body was taken
out of the death trap At John Breen's res
taurant. Here the food quilted away the
cellar wall and swept the debris cnder the
building. The terrible stencil of decompos-
ing bodies once more guided the
workmen, while it almost overcame
them before the object of their search
was reached. The recovered body is Albert
Osmer, aged years Decomposition had
made the body perfectly black, and it was
entirely nude. The burial at Woodlawn
was made with all the haste possible, as
there is dread that pestilence will add
to the horrors Tonight Osmer has been
on the streets, wailing for his lost son. His

BRITISH PRESS ON BLAINE.
Nearly All the InsuIar Papers Are Glad
He Was Defeated.

He Was Defeated.
LONDON, June 1.-THE burden of the
comments of all the evening papers on the
denomination of President Harrison and
the selection of Whitelaw Reid as the Re-
publican candidate for Vice President is
jov over the defeat of Mr.. Blaine.
The Pail Mall Gazette saws: "Even those
least in sympathy with Mr.. Blaine as pol
itician may spare a passing regret at the
cruel disappointment of the man who is the
ablest Republican and most astute politician
in the United States"
The Globe saws: 'For once the American
caucus was of real interest to outsiders,
especially England. In view of the
dissension in the Democratic party, the
nominee of yesterday stands good chance
of being the next President. 1t was happy
thing that the caucus decided over
whelmingly against the great wire-puller
whose entire career has been marked with
attempts to make party capital out of
foreign politics"
The Globe then relates at length Mr.
Baine's acts Of hostility towards England,
as shown in the Chilean affair, the Bering
sea question, the Newfoundland matter,
ETC., and adds: "Even as it was, President
Harrison sometimes had difficult task to
check the mischief"
The Star publishes most violent attack
on Mr.. Blaine because of his protection
principles, and sums up its estimate of
President Harrison's qualifications by de-
claring that he is "a quiet. unassuming old
gentleman Of great personal integrity, but
without great ability" 1t then predicts the
nomination of Mr.. Cleveland by the Demo-
Gratis, and concludes by saving: "The SYM
pathles of all free traders and liberals should
be with the champion of reform, Grover
Cleveland"

The Boston Contingent Delighted Because
Harrison Was Nominated.
BOSTON, June 1.-THE members of the
Massachusetts Reform Club held their regu-
lar monthly dinner at Young's tonight, and
the speeches made showed that Harrison s
nomination was very satisfactory to them,
for reasons not especially compliment
tary to him, but because it was be-
lieved that it made Grover Clsve-
lands election all the more cure. All the
speakers discussed the Minneapolis Con-
yention, and all agreed that Mr.. Cleveland
would be the nominee of the Chicago Con-
vention. Hon. George S. Hale presided.
He said the Republican, convention Office
holders had at last come to indorse the
movement started bv the Massachusetts
Reform Club in 1884, and now the people,
with Grover Cleveland for a candidate, will
indorse the movement still more.
DIR. Carroll c. Everett reioiced that Min
neapolis had turned out a clean candidate.
Mr. Moorefieid Story said that eight wears
ago the club had said that Blaine was not
fit to be President, and now the Republican
party has Endorsed that sentiment James
G. Myers drew consolation from the fact that
the best elements in the party had won
at Minneapolis. Hon. John E. Russell said
Harrison secured the nomination bv pack
ing the convention with officeholders and
subsidzing the press. Had the two-thirds
rule been followed, as it will be followed
in Chicago, Harrison would be discredited
man. "Hill's boom is cnly in Republican
newspapers" said he. Edward Atkinson
also spoke.

NEW YORK, June 11.-Rear Admiral s.
B. Luce, U. s. N, the Commissioner Cen
eral of this country to the Columbian His
torical Exposition to be held in Madrid, is
staying at the Gilsey House. 'The EXPOSE
tion opens September H." said he to re-
porter, 'tand as the bill creating our COM
mission was only passed May %, it gives US
very little time to get together creditable
exhibit. The commission is visiting the
principal museums in tine large cities with
a view of obtaining material for an exhibit
which shall illustrate the condition of the
country and its inhabitants at the time OF
its discovery.
"We did intend at first to take over a
band of wild Indians from the far West.
We believed this would be the most inter-
esting and characteristic exhibit which our
Government could make at Madrid. 1t
would yividly recall the return of Columbus
to the SPANISH court with his small band of
aborigines, which at that time excited so
much interest; but we find that the appro-
priation will not allow of this. The bill
creating the commission originally carried
with it $50, 900, but this was cut down by
Congress to $4,000. We accordingly find
that we are handicapped by lack OF funds,
as we'll as time 1t seems to me that Con-
gress has hardly manifested proper degree
of interest in this exposition. Why, 16
American Republics have each appropriated
more money tor their exhibits at our
Worlds Fair, than this country, the great
est of American Republics, has given for its
exhibit at Madrid.

and thus remove at least the immediate dan

Council has been called for Monday to take
action on this matter.
It has come to light to-day that heroic
Henry Butler and George Pease, two vic
Tins of the disaster, had reached places of
safety, and only again ventured into the
food that they might save two other lives.
Tho Latest Tale of Heroism
They were on q big pile of driftwood back
of the city mills, waiting to be taken safely
away, when the sight ofa mother with her
helpless babe clinging to her neck, met
their sight. Butler and Pease, without a
moments hesitation, plunged into the
waves to the rescue. All four corpses were
found within radius of Is yards. The
woman's arms were empty, but around the
rugged neck of Pease were clasped the tiny,
cold arms of the dead child. Hardy work.
men who drew them from the ruins, and
knew the story, burst into tears and could
do no other work than tenderly care for the
four dead.

A GREAT BATTLE In BRAZIL.

The Government Troops Utterly Routed,
Leaving 1000 Dead ON the Field.
MoTEvIDEo. URUGUAY, June 11.-Ad-
vices received in this city from the rebellious
State of Matto Crosse, Brazil, announces a
terrific fight in and around the capital,
Cuyaba, and the utter defeat of the Gov
ernment soldiers sent from Rio Janeiro
some time ago by land and sea to quell the
uprising. The combat is said to have be-
gun Nav and lasted until MAY 13 when
the Government troops fed in the utmost
disorder They are reported to have left
1000 men killed upon the battlefield, and
even large number of wounded.
ALI the chief officers of the Government
forces were killed. Cuyaba was then en-
tered by the victorious rebels, who sacked
it and assassnated all the Government
officials. The revolutionists say they have
no desire to secede from the Republic, but
they want good Governor and official
chosen by the residents of the State, and not
arbitrarily imposed upon them by the
au thorities at Rio Janeiro. 1t is stated
that the Brazilian President was aware of
the defeat OF his troops at Cuyaba, but
suppressed the news

LEPR0SY IN LOUISIANA.
The Legislature to Pass a Law Providing
for Isolation.

The Legislature to Pass Law Providing
for Isolation.
NEW ORLEANS, June Ill Special. j
The Louisiana Legislature will attempt to
prevent the spread Of leprosy BY providing
for the treatment and isolation of per-
sons affected bv it. Leprosy has prevailed
in Louisiana from the earliest French days,
being brought there from the West Indies
and from Nova Scotia. There are now 25O
lepers in the State and about 80 in New Or
leans.
Sometime ago wordy complaints were
made that lepers were sending their chill
dren to the public schools in Lafourche.
The result has been the segregation OF the La
fourche lepers. They have their own stores
and even their own Catholic priest, an
Italian, afflicted with the disease like them
selves. The result of the agitation Is the
new Law which will undoubtedly be passed
by the Legislature, providing that all per-
sons afflicted with leprosy shall be confined
in an institution isolated and used solely
