WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1S.-Great
crowds throng the Arlington tonight,
and for the first time the hot work of
the preliminary fight is on. The Hobbies
are packed and damned, and there is
great babble of noisy voices that reach
far out into the street. milwaukee is
sure to win" "St. Paul cannot be
BEATEN "Wait till New York gets
here" Chicago will win as usual"
every sentiment is heard. st. Paul
and Milwaukee alone have established
headquarters here, and their huge pla-
cards are strung up at every available
point. st. Paul is to the right and Mil
waukee to the left of the main ell
trance, the former having much the
larger and more commodious quarters.
Over the door is floral horseshoe, into
which superstitiouS well-wisher has
stuck rabbits foot. Within the
room is huge mass of bunting. liter

draped. The fine colored
Views of the Auditorium,
interior and exterior, face the door,
while large photos of the several Twin
City hotels, neatly framed, adorn
the walls; and the Milwaukee quarters
are similarly arranged. and it,too, makes
Photographic displays of its hotels and
exposition buildings. Both delega-
lions keep open house, and good-nat-
ured, though keen rivalry is main
tsined. The second installmeEt of Mil
waukee boomers arrived at 6 o'clock;
200 strong, and marched up Pennsyl-
SanIa avenue, headed by the Marine
band. Gov. Peck and all the Demo-
ssatic state officials were in the lead,
Ene borne in the midst were banners
and transparencies with the legends:
"Wtes Men, $1,000 Democratic Ma
teSjty," milwaukee, 1000 Majority"
s,Our Candidate the Nominee.'s
The Badgers undoubtedly made hit.
Kansas City boomers, to the number of
fifty, came in a little earlier without
demonstration, and are quartered at
Wizards. They have selected 10 per-
manent headquarters yet. New York,
Cincinnati, Detroit and indianapolis
will all be here in the morning, and that
will complete the list. From that time
the Arlington will fairly boil until after
the committee meeting. AS to the stu
alton at this time no one can say. The
papers which predict, and the ones who
declare, i'll reality know nothing about
1t. The leaders of the committee them
selves know nothing. Chairman Brice
smilingly hopes every city may win,
and German has gone to Annapolis to
attend tohiS senatorial knitting. Nearly
half the strength of the committee is
here, and all sorts of wild predictions
are heard. but none are reliable. The
conservative members of the st. Paul
delegation are working hard, hoping
little and fearing much.

WRECKED BY GAS.
A House LeveIed, but the Occu-
pants Live.

LANCASTER, O., Jan. 1s.-At 6 80 this
morning occurred the most disastrous
explosion of natural gas in the history
of this place. The residence of Judge
John S. Brace, two-story brick build
ing on North Columbus street, was
leyeled to the ground. Judge Brace
was blown sixty feet across the street.
where he was found unconscious and
bleeding from severe wounds about the
head, The judge was in his study,
down stairs, in his residence,
twenty-room brick structure in the
center OF the town, when the explosion
occurred, while Mrs. Brace, two daugh-
tiers, Clara and Anna, and two sons,
Trafford and Charles, were in their beds
on the second floor. The sons were
hurled $50 feet into the Lutheran church
yard, while the women were caught by
the falling roof. They were rescued
twenty minutes later, in their night
clothes, and were found to be cut and
bruised. There were four servants, who
luckily escaped with only cuts and
bruises. Windows were broken for
several squares around, and the organ
in an adjoining church was ruined.
The shock was felt for miles. A leak
lin pipe, it is supposed, filled the cellar
and library with gas, which was ignited
from the CRATE. The house and all it's
contents are ruined. Loss, $4,000:

CHILI's FORTIFICATIoNs.
Maps Being Sent to Officers of the
Army.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1S.-What may be re-
garded as a significant incident was the
receipt at army headquarters here yes
terday of a large number of maps from
the war department of the fortified ports
of Chill. The largest of the maps is one
showing the city front of the city of Val
paraiso, and the exact location of
every fortified spot in the city. There
are four large-siZed forts commanding
the harbor, and eight or ten heavy bat
teries between the north and south
limits of the city. The number of guns
in use in these fortified spots is prob
lematical, but army officers estimate
that there are not less than 100.
Gen. Miles declines to discuss the Chill
ian affair or the receipt of the maps,
preferring that all news be given out at
Washington. His aide, Capt. NJ. P.
Maus. said the maps sent from Wash
ington gave clear idea Of the strength
of the Chilians in the matter of harbor
defense. "Valparaiso is we'll tortified,''
he said, ''but the heavy guns of our
biggest war ships could silence her bat
teries in short time, in my opinlon.'

CHICAGO AND GORMAN.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1S.-The rumors
