HEARTBREAKiNG SCENES.
The Birkenbirg Calamity Worse
Than Was Dreamed,


LONDON, June 4. Describing the
Birkenbirg disaster a correspondent
says: whenever body is recovered
the name of the victim passes in whis-
per through the crowd of awe-struck
children and sobbing women until it
reaches the wife of the victim. Often
she reads it in the faces of companions.
A piercing cry prociaimS that she mas
understood and the crowd opens to allow
her to pass. While she is weeping over
her dead another body is brought no
and the same scene, terrible in its pathOS
is repeated.
Wednesday morning some of the en-
tombed men, talking through the speak
ing tube that runs to the mouth of the
pit, said that the rafters were burning,
and that many of the miners were still
alive. Since Thursday morning no one
has been rescued alive. Some of the
men who were first rescued, and who
have recovered sufficiently to recount
their experience. say that they saw COM
panions holding lamps in their hands,
and in some cases speaking to them,
suddenly sink down lifelesS.
A hurriedly penclled bill was found
in the pocketbOOk of one of the victims.
Some precipitated themselves into the
shafts to escape the sitting smoke. Two
brothers were found clasped in each
others arms. A few of the rescuers
were so impressed by the dreadful
scene that they have lost their reason.
Many persons are convinced that the
mine was fired by socialists on purpose,
and declare that few weeks ago a
quantity of wood chips saturated with
petroleum was found in the mine. The
a Nh.--.. .sa1xx L..
it has transpired that there were 700
men below at the time the fire broke
out. and that there are certainly 500 lives
lost.

1t is stated that Cullom can have the
votes of Illinois whenever the
contest reaches a stage which
would indicate the possibility of
his selection. but the senator
himself is loyal to Harrison and does
not permit any discussion of his avail
ability by his fellow delegates from the
Prairie state. Notwithstanding the
senator's loyalty to the president, it is
evident that certain of the Illinois
delegates are but awaiting a
favorable opportunity to start a
popular movement in his favor.
In the event of the decentralization of
both the Blaine and Harrison forces, 1t
is believed that Alger will be the heirtor
of most of Blaine's strength, while the
administration delegates would be di-
vided between Cullom and Mckinley. A
few delegates outside of Illinois are
mentioning the name of Robert T. Lin
coin, but the suggestion does Lot arouse
any enthusiasm in the Illinois delega-
ton.

Views Of Several of the Leading

Views of Several of the Leading
Situation Viewers.
''Billy'' Mcbride will say in the Gin
cinnatI Enquirer of this morning that
the only logical outcome of the situation
in Minneapolis, since the resignation of
MIR. Blame from the cabinet. is the
nomination of Blaine for president. No
other result is possible. The Harri-
son people are not strong enough to
nominate their own man, and they can
make no combinations TO defeat Blaine.
Most of the Harrison men are for Blaine
after Harrison. The Harrison lieu
tenants can handle them so long as
Harrison is a candidate, but they can
not turn them to any one else.
s. Z. johnson will tell the readers of
the Cincinnati Enquirer that Blaine and
RuSk or Blaine and Alger will surely
be the nominees. Blaine is certainty,
and Rusk or Aiger will be named with
him OH the ticket.
George w. MapeS. of the PhIladel-
phia Times, has telegraphed to that
paper that the Blaine boom is going up
ward. The Harrison influence is still
predominant in Minneapolis, as he sees
it, but the Blaine element is coming,
and will have overwhelmed the Harri-
son following before Monday morning.

A man passed through Chicago yes

Manley. postmaster at Augusta.
Me-, and Mr.. Blaine's confidential
friend. Mr.. Manley was in Chicago
about half honr, or just long enough
to meet the Maine delegates, who had
already arrived, and then he sped OH
ward. He declined to talk politics, and
peremptorily bale every reporter who
approached him to let him alene. TO
one of the delegates from Tom Reeds

would accept a nomination. This dele
gate is Wainwright Gushing, OF FreepOrt,
Ne. The twelve delegates from
Vermont headed by Gny. Page were in

j. p. Miller sent out the following to
the New York Star:
1t is certain as anything can be that
has not yet happened that MIR. Blaine
will be nominated, or will name
the man. Blaine's own nomination is
almost certainty. The dispatch sent to
Algel was for him to come tere to work
for Blaine. 1t is not absolutely agreed
upon between the Blaine and Alger
folks, but they drifting towards an
agreement on a ticket of Blaine and
Alger. Apparently the only thing that
could defeat Blaine now would be an
absolutely certain indication that the
Harrison people would bring mp a fight
against him after the nomination.
A Blaine-Alger combination is what
is now on the cards, and if such SItna-
ton should develore between now and
Tuesday as to make change from
Blaine to some one else desirable. Mr..
Blaine would prefer Alger to be the
man.
The Blaine people believe. however.
that the work of the convention is
practically done, as far as respects the
nomination. and they are now consider
ing Alger more seriously thai any one
else for second place.

So the Globe-Democrat Corre-

Walter B. Stephens telegraphed the
st. Louis Globe Democrat as follows:
MIR. Blaine is not a candidate. He
will in due time make that understood
by everybody. He has candidate, and
that candidate is John Sherman. 1t IS
the conviction of Mr. Blaine that the
Republican party needs in this cam
paign the very strongest candidate it
possesses. and he believes John Sher-
man is that candidate. Sounds odd,
doesn't it. when the past claShings be-
tween the presidential interests of
Blaine and Sherman are considered? The
fact is Blaine has risen above ambition
and personality, but not above patriotic
devotion to his party. He has said prl-
vately within ten days that he does not
belive either he or President Harrison
can be elected, and that the Republicans
ought to nominate John Sherman. This
is the best information | have got in the
shop for you tonight"

quently mentioned are Cullom, Alger,

Col. Fred. d. Mussey will treat the
political situation thus in the Cincin

1t has been an honest effort on the
part of the gentlemen who have been
behind the Blaine movement to nomi-
nate Mr.. Blaine for president. The
talk heard last night about Sherman as
q dark horse does not come from the
Blaine men. On Chairman Clarkson's
word it is stated that the Sherman talk
emanates from the Harrison faction.
The Harrison wing of the party will put
into the field all the candidates possible
to prevent a nomination on the first
ballot and consequent stampede for
Blaine. Chairman Clarkson, j. B. For
aker and Mr.. Cohger state positively
that they have been working honestly
in the interest of Mr.. Blaine, and that
they are in the fight to stay. While the

M'KINLEY LOOMS UP.
He Will Be Chairman and May Be
a Formidable Candidate.

Mckinley has been agreed upon by
the Ohio delegates as chairman of their
delegation. and, as he will undoubtedly
be made chairman of the convention, he
might suddenly become a formidable
candidate. The name of Allison is
warmly urged by the antl-Blaihe dele
gates of the Iowa delegation.
The. permanent craftsmanship is re-
garded as settled, MeKinley,s choice
being conceded on all sides. 1t is also
considered settled that Mckinley will
be the head of the Ohio delegation. AT
the meeting of that delegation
Monday Ex-Gov. Foraker will NOM
mate Mckinley for chairman and
there. will be no opposition.
For temporary chairman of the conven-
tiOn there are now two candidates
John u. Langston. of Virginia. and
Gen. Horace E. Porter. of New York.
LangSIon is being backed by the Blaine
men, and Porter by the Harrison crowd.
