 WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. s.-The fol lowing is self-explanafor ory:
 WASHINGTON, D. Q February 6. 1892. Hon. J. s. Clarksoh, Chairman Republi- can National Committees:
 Ny Dear Sir:-I am not a candidate for the presidency, and nay name will not go before the republican national convention for the nomination. I make this an- nouncement in due season.
 To those who have rendered their sup port owe sincere thanks and am most grateful for their confidence. They will, I am sure, make an earnest effort in the approaching contest, which is rendered specially important by reason of the in dustrial and financial policies of the gov ernmeut being at stake. The popular de- cision on these issues is of great moment and will be of far-reaching consequence.
 Very Sincerely Yours,
 JAMES G. BLAINE. NEW YORK, Feb. s.-The Herald says of of MT. Blaine's declaration that he will not be candidate for president:
 So far as the republicans are concerned it may be said without fear of contradic- tion that they have lost their strongest
 
 most available leader. As to the demo- crats their shrewdest opponent has retired from the field. If they handle their forces with skill and enter the field with & strong western man it will be their own fault if they fail to carry the day.
 The Tribune says: Thisforma announce, ment will cause sorrow and disappoint- ment to thousands of republicans, and there is no reason for dissembling that fact No other living American has in apired such ardent devotion, and upon nc other have 70 many Americans longe6 to confer the greatest distinction without their gift. The certain ty that the foremost citizen O the country will not be the next presiden of the United States. and the presumption that he will never occupy that great ofic cannot fail to afiict q multitude of his fel low citizens with keen sense of persona grief. The withdrawal of MT Blaine may not immediately settle, beyon controversy, the result of the republica convention, but undoubtedly it does, in large measure, clear the field for Geners Harrison.

HISTORY OF THE BUILDING.

ONE HUNDRED UNACCoUNTED FOR. It is feared @ search of the ruins will re- veal many ghastly finds. It is reported at a late hour that no less than 100 people | were still unaccounted for.
 This evening an unknown woman, who was taken to the hospital with fractured skull and thigh, was identified by a man and woman but her name is withheld. It is thought she will die.
 ANOTHER ACCOUNT.
 | Another account says that the fire had hardly been discovered before it had swept irresistibly through the six floors, transforming the building into a huge fur mace. The speed with which the fire spread was almost incredible. By tho time the first engines arrived, the house was ablaze from top to bottom, famei leaping from every window from thu doors, up the stairway and through thu roof. The firemen risked their lives in 1 thousand different ways. From ever, point water was poured into the hotel But apparently each effort of the fremel only increased the fury of the blaze, ant
 umn of flames was leaping into the air.
 CRIES OF THE IMPRISONED. Above the roar of the flames rang th ] cries of the imprisoned people in the burn
 ing hotel. Suddenly man was seen in : window high overhead. A0ry of horro
 arose as he came swiftly, striking the side , walk with O sickening sound. He was ir . stantly killed. For awhile he was left ly , ing where he fell, till @ pool of blood red ! dened the stones. Ladders were raise
 wherever the fremen could find a restin
 place, and bravely climbed through tt @ flame and smoke to rescue the people wh q stood screaming in the windows wit
 flames behind them. Minute after minu B the excitement increased, and the positio e of those in the hotel became more terribl

WORK OF FIREMEa AND POLICE.

THE NUMBER OF DEAD PLACED AT THIRTY.
 The hotel had 124 rooms and ne arly all were occupied last night by guests. The hotel managers and employees made up the balance of the list of those in the building.
 Five dead bodies have thus far been found. Six injured persons are in the hospital and sixty-three have been report ed alive. This leaves about seventy-six persons still missing. The number of dead will, however, probably not exceed at the latest estimate thirty.
 Soon after the fire broke out ambulsnces arrived from the various hospitals. Many physicians who reside in the neighbor- hood were quickly on the scene and did all they could to relieve the injured.
 The following are the dead, in jured and missing, as far as reported:

every daaar's increase in the pro-
duetive wealth Of a section, adds to
the profits of the railroads passing
through it. In the Northwest this
fact was fully realized, and to Its
recognition IS due the marvellous
paee at which it has advanced IN
wealth and population. Railroads
were pushed out into that vast tim
berless region in every direction
in advance of Its settlement. In
dueements were offered to settlers
in the shape of reasonable traffic
charges; which enabled farmers to
realize a profit on their products
and receive from distant points
their supplies in exchange Even
fuel was transported to them nun
dreds of miles at figures which our
peeple would call dirt cheap, but
yet at profit to the railroads. The

REDUCED FREIGHT RATES.

A petition signed by most Of the
cotton shippers along the Iron
Mountain Railway south from
Arkadelphla has been presented to
Mr.. Smith, Assistant General Man
ager of the Missouri Pacific Rail
way, asking a reduction of rates on
cotton TO st. Louis. 1t recites the
distress oGeasloned by the low
price of cotton for the past two
wears, and the difficulties the pro-
ducer iabors under by reason OF
such prices. 1t points out where,
for like reasons, the railways had,
by reduced rates, relieved the dis
tross of the producers of grain In
the Northwest in times past, and
simply asks alike consideration for
the cotton producer. This petition
IN no manner seeks to. antagonize
the railway companies, but rather
tends towards a harmonious and
equitable adjustment of the differ
ences on basis of value. 1t is
wisely tempered in spirit of fair
ness; and should the railway com
panies fail to give this matter prop
er and courteous attention we shall
feel very sensibly the injustice
done a country which finds the
traffic of the railways beyogdts
nnwer 10 handlaueons.; v
