The Disaster in the Oil Region

The public mind is so fully occupied with
the fight that is going on at Minneapolis for
the presidential nomination of the Repub-
lican party that comparative little atten-
ton has been paid to the terrible disaster
that has overtaken Titusville, Oil City and
other places in the oil region Of Pennsyl-
vania. Although the disaster is not as
great as that from which Johnstown, Pa,
suffered three years ago, it is an appalling
one. AT least $50 lives were lost
and between $1,5OO,o00 and 90 ,OOO,-
OOO worth of property was des-
troyed. According to our dispatches yes
terday the picture that was presented when
the storm and the fire were at their
hight was Of the most terrible character
The agonizing cries of those who were
caught in the burning oil, and were being
burned TO death slowly, made those who
were near enough to see what was going on,
but who were powerless to render the suf-
ferers any assistance, turn away their faces
from the scene.
Oil creek, which ordinarily ia a shallow
little stream, was a raging torrent spread
out over Oil creek valley, and was covered
with burning oil People caught In the
resistless flood were quickly burned to
death and the buildings in the path of the
flood torrent were wrecked and burned.
The number Of persons known 20 have
persisted shows how rapidly the water rose
and how difficult it was to escape from the
fame-covered flood. Hundreds of people
are homeless aud destitute. Many of them
will have to be aided, because the factorie 8
and shops in which they earned living are
destroyed. The call for aid is being re-
sponded to generously, and the most urgent
demands for assistance will be met Still,
there is wide room for charity, and gener-
Gus people in all parts of the country will
not make mistake by assisting the suffer
ers in any way they can.

1t seems that 1t is the mission Of the
Burchard family to kick props from
under other people. The Rev. DIR.
Burchard. of three RS" notoriety,
was potent factor, without intending to
be, in bringing Mr.. Blaine's ambition to
earth, and now his son has shown what he
can do in giving pride fall A high
spirited young lawyer called upon DIR.
Burchard, the son, on business a few days
ago, and stated his case in manner that
the doctor conceived TO be Objectionable.
And he objected with his foot. The doctor
has been indicted, but the case has not been
tried yet because Of the fact that the as
saulted man is not in q condition to take
the witness chair.

The Wilkes county grand jury, which re-
Gently reported the Peoples party to the
court as a "grievous nuisance, calculated to
disturb the peace aud dignity and health of
the people" unquestionably had the good of
the community at heart. The Peoples
party deserves to be reported to court, tried
and sent up for life. But the judicial court
is not the proper tribunal. The court Of
the people will sit on the case, and the ver-
dict that will be returned at the polls will
abate the nuisance which the Wilkes county
grand jury complains OF.

The Vacant secretaryship.

The President hasn't time at present to
think about appointing successor TO Mr..
Blaine. First Assistant Secretary of State
Wharton, although very young man, is
competent to take care of such diplomatic
matters as may need attention before the
Minneapolis convention has finished its
work. The question of who will get the
coveted place is being discussed in Wash
ington, aud the impression appears to be
that whether the President is renominated
or not the next Secretary of State will be
one of those who is making vigorous fight
for his reno mination.
Those mentioned for the place are
Chauncey Depew, Secretary Tracy, White
law Reid, Congressman Hit and Gen. j.
W. Foster. It would not be surprising if
the place should be offered to Mr.. Depew.
He would have nine months to serve and
that is about as long as he would care to
leave the office of president of the New
York Central railroad.
AS there is good deal Of very important
business before the state department-busi-
ness of a kind that requires experience in dip
lomacy--the President may deem it advisable
to make Gen. Foster his Secretary of State.
Gen. Foster is competent to fill the place,
and, as he is ambitious, he would accept it
doubtless with feelings of profound satisfac-
ton.
The President has given no Indication Of
a preference for any particular man for the
place, and will not do SO, in all probability,
until he knows whether or not his party in
tends to give him chance for a second
term.

ton. doubtless, than hostility to those gen.

SHELTON. WASH, April 25.-TSpecial. i
On Friday afternoon a party of Michigan
numbering capitalists, IN care of Messrs
Angus Macintosh and Moore, of Seattle,
arrived in Shelton by special boat, for a
glimpse of extensive logging operations on
Puget sound, as carried on by the WASH
lngton Southern Railroad. An engine and
car was placed az the disposal of the Wis
itors, who spent the afternoon in inspect
ing our big timber and the work in camp
on the road, and were immensely pleased,
interested and instructed by their visit,
and alive to the possibilities of adding to
their fortunes by numbering operations on
Puget sound. Although all are men well
along in years and several retired from
active business, yet it is not unlikely that
their capital will be represented out here,
and that they may send their sons. The
party consisted of Edward and n. +.
Brewer, Mr.. Blair and others. who are re-
turning to Michigan from a trip through
California, their families staying at Seattle.
The entire party was surprised at Shelton,
having evidently heard of it as little
railroad town.

SENATOR soUIRE's ABLE SPEECH.
His Argument Against Chinese Immi-

SThtiOh AttentlVeiy LIbtenou
WASHINGTON CITY, April 25.-[Special.l
'-"America for the Americans" were the
closing words of Senator Squire's able
speech on the Chinese bill today. The
senator from Washington believed that
there had been almost enough discussion
of the present Chinese bill under consider
alton, but as he had some points and an
intimate knowledge of Chinese affairs,
gathered from experience, while he was
governor of the state, and also as men,
ber of the immigration committee which
took testimony on Chinese immigration,
he made calm and conservative speech
and brought out many points which had
not yet been discussed in the Senate
He spoke for nearly an hour, and was
listened to with great deal of attention,
and at the close was warmly congratulated
by many of the leading senator's and also
several of the Western senators who are of
his opinion regarding Chinese exclusion.
Senator Sherman, chairman of the COM
mittee on foreign relations; the venerable
Senator Morrill,, of Vermont; Senator
DAVIS, of Massachusetts, and Senator
Allison, of Iowa, listened throughout with
a great deal of attention, while all the
members of the committee on foreign re-
lations on the Democratic side paid strict
attention to the words of the Washington
senator. ThisNwas the first speech of any
great length that Senator Squire has made
in the Senate. and he at once went to the
front as one of the new senators capable of
making an able argument on important
public questions.

WASHINGTON CRY, April 25.-The House
today took up the motion made on Satur-
day by Reed of Maine, to lay on the table

portion of the speech of Walker of Massa-
chusetts. not uttered on the floor, reflect
ing on Williams and Hoar. The Pennsyl-
vania Republicans refrained from voting.
breaking the quorum. A call of the House
was then ordered.
The call showed 213 members present.
and the question recurred on the motion
to table the expunging resolution. The
motion was rejected-yeas 5. nays 155.
Bouteile moved to recommit the resolu-
tlons with instructions to the committee
to take into consideration the entire SUBJ
ject and report such measures as are expe-
dent for the reform of existing abuses.
This was defeated by vote of 80 to 152.
Boutelle moved an adjournment This
motion was also lost, and Townsend of
Colorado came forward with motion for
recess. which was lost-yeas 0, nays 146;
no quorum.
Richardson of Tennessee rose to another
question. This was taken under clause 2
OF rule q, which provides that call will
not be in order after the previous question
has been ordered unless it shall appear
upon actual count by the speaker that a
quorum was not present.
Boutelle inquired whether the speaker
declined to count as required by the rule.
The speaker replied that the count was
on the nay vote, which showed but 146
members present.
Boutelle inquired whether the chair
would not count the house.
The chair replied that if he had not sat-
isfied the gentleman it was the gentle
mans misfortune.
Thereupon ex-Speaker Reed remarked
there should not be an exhibition of tenn
per on the part of the chair. and the chair
retorted that there should not be any
attempt at scolding on the
part of the gentleman from Maine. After
slightly acrimonious tilt between the
speaker and Reed, the call of the House
was ordered and 90 members responded.
Further proceedings were dispensed
with and the vote recurred on the motion
for recess This was lost, but as no
quorum voted, the House adjourned.
