special TO the Republican says: At s
O'Clock this evening fire was seen issuing
from the roof of the attic near the base
of the south dome of New Mexico's mag
niiicent capitol building. Citizens at
once drew up the fire hose to the spot
but only to find that water from the
waterworks had been shut off from the
building. and it was at once evident
that the building was doomed. All
hands at once stripped the building Of
furniture. carpets, library, and every
movable article on the first and second
floors. The vaults are uninjured. Owing
to some misunderstanding in the late
territorial Legislature no money was
appropriated TO pay for insurance on
public buildings and the policies were
allowed TO expire. The building was
valued at 22J0.0O0 and is total loss

Horrible, Most Horrible.

PHILADELPHIA, May l2.-The bark
Samuel b. Pale arrived here today from
Santos, and reports that Capt. Cuptill
died of yellow fever at sea on the 10Th
of March. Mate Westerbergs descrip-
ton of the prevalent yellow fever at Sal
tos and the misery brought about by its
deadly effect is horrible. He said it was
no unusual thing to see bodies Of men
and children lying along narrow thor
oughfares slowly wasting to death.
Every hospital was crowded and the au
thorities were powerless. Officers Of the
government were seen to kick aside
bodies of human beings who had died on
the streets so as not to obstruct path
ways, and once in while large wagons
gathered up the dead. No collins were
used in burying.

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.
1t Completes its Labors at Omaha Reso
lutiOns offered

OMAHA, May Bishop Newman pre-
sided at the Methodist Episcopal gener-
al conference today. Rev. Halstead of
Indiana led the devotional meeting. A
roll of conferences was called for offer
ing resolutions and memorials. DR..
Lehman offered resolution providing
that bishops might in following rules al
ready in vogue count five years in every
ten for appointment of ministry. that is
no permit Of minister to be returned TO
a charge after lapse of five years. This
is simply to make the rule more definite.
4 resolution was introduced by book
agents of the church calling for revis
ion of the church law relating to the
management of publishing houses on ac-
count of the fact that part of the law
had become obsolete DR.. Hunt wanted
the committee on book concern to mako
the revision aud then report their action
to the conference DIR. Neeley wanted a
paper referred to the committee on re-
visals. 1t went to the committee on
book concern.
After much discussion all amendment
offered by Dr.. Goucher was adopted by
an overwhelming vote, knocking out
nearly all of the preamble Of the report
of the committee on constitutional re
vision and declaring that the section OF
the law enacted with relation to lay rep
rcsentation partook of a nature of legis
latlye enactment but its principle was
constitutional. A motion by DIR. Buck
ley to postpone further consideration Of
the subject indefinitely was carried after
great wrangle. Ayes 233, nays 100.
The impression is gaining ground that
the advocates of the scheme to elect
more bishops are making hay with great
success during the last few days since
the scheme to relocate some of the Epis-
copal residences came to the front The
colored brethren seem hopeful yet, but
the subcommittee to which the matter
of the election of colored bishop was
referred reported unfavorably. Now
that the constitutional question is out
of the way the people expect the confer
ence to move along with more snap and
vim. The attendance is increasing.
Hundreds of visitors arrived today and it
is expected that next week will be one
of great interest.
Candidates for the various offices to be
filed are working with redoubled zeal as
the time of election draws near. Dr.
Goodwin of Illinois is coming to the
front as candidate for the editorshiI
of the Central Christian Advocate
There was no mass meeting tonight. The
! delegates took a rest.

had been taken out. The work of relief
is slow owing to the wrecked condition
of the interior of the mine and possibly
another forty eight hours will elapse be-
fore the lowest level is reached:
\ rumor is being circulated that stopc
work was considered dangerous for
the past three months. but the men who
have been working steadily. discOunten-
ance the statement. Every morning the
mines had been inspected by "A competent
foreman and his report bulletined at the
entrance to the mine. On the day of
the explosion it was reported in the
sixth west entry and sixth east main
way. All these gasses were removed by
Foreman John Shaw and men put to
work. They worked from : a. m. until
the expl sion occurred at | A p. m. with
naked lamps. At noon the
mine was reported free from
gas about 1900 cubic feet
of air having been forced into the slope
the law requiring loo feet per minute
On an average of about sixty men work
in the slope. The men killed by the ex-
plosion were scattered from the fourth
east and west entries to the seventh east
entry. \ corps of undertake r. with two
carloads of collins arrived fr' m Tacoma
today. a cornners jury was empanelled
but no inquest will be held until the re-
naming bodies are recovered. As soon
as prepared the bodies are taken to their
late homes where they are surrounded
by weeping wife and children. Nearly
all the men in the slope were men with
families.
Women with eyes red from weeping
unable to talk without bursting into
tears. General Manager Kangley of the
coal company says they will meet all
present necessities of the suffering fami-
lies. There are many instances of desti-
tuition. George Moses left boy years
old with relatives. David and Thomas
Reece, father and son. left a family of ten
children to "A mothers care. The Cut
worth's, father and son, leave family
of ten. Robert +. Rook had just arrived
with his family from Streator. Ill They
are destitute. VIM. Hague leaves an in
valid and crippled sister and moth
er without support. l.. Forsythe
leaves a family that was sole'y
dependent upon him Winston Steele
leaves large family in poor clrcumstan
ces. Thomas Brennan who only went to
work yesterday after three months idle
ness leaves "A family of nine children des
titate. Palmer leaves "A wife and child
ren unprovided for.
The accumulation Of gas in the mine
is too great to allow Of pushing the work
of exploration for the dead and probably
no more bodies will be recovered before
tomorrow. Possibly i:} men were killed.
Already IA bodies have been recovered.
| The accident will not interfere with the
supply Of coal. Mayor Miller of Roslyn
has already begun the work of caring for
families of the dead miners. Early this
morning he sent kilograms to various
cities in the state asking for help for the
destitute families of the dead miners.

ent. The question Of admission to the

terrible howl against the committee and
he did not want it that way. but 1t was
stated that 10000 people would be there
clamoring for admission and only 1000
could get in. Paul NandervOort Of
Nebraska stated that If the doors of the
convention were thrown open to the
crowd the committee would regret that
it ever attempted to hold the convention
No nominations would be made in Il
week, if at ALL and even then they would
not be by the peoples party. There
was enough opposition to the party in
some sections of the country 10
cause the house to be packed by
enemies of the party and the proceed
ings would be disgraceful IT was pro
posed to hold a union of TIE blue and
gray during the convention. Mr.. Van

the party in this state would attend to
that matter and Mr.. Davis could tell all
old gray coats in the south that ample
arrangements would be made to take
care of them and hall furnished

gether. The national committee will
remain in the city several days, and any
further propositions or arrangements
that they wish to make will be sug-
gested to the local executive committee.

her wealthy father to assist in her elope-

Free silver Coinage to the Front With

WASHINGToN, May 10.-A special to
the Butte Miner says: "The Bland silver
bill will be taken up in the house Of
representatives before many days under
cloture rule. and will be passed by the
house. Strange as it may appear, the
bill will have the support of the New
York democrats and the democrats of
other eastern states. Quite number Of
eastern democrats who will not agree
to vote for the bill have agreed
not to vote against it. This state
of affairs is largely due to the
fact that Senator Hill of New
York had decided to step forward as the
champion Of the white metal, and to his
splendid political gcneralship is largely
due the change of front which is now
apparent When the bill has passed the
house. and when it is before the senate
the junior senator from New York will
deliver his maiden speech in that august
body. and it will be in favor of the free

Senator Brice of Ohio has agreed to vote
for the Bland bill in the senate and it is
quite likely he will also deliver speech
in favor of the white metal.
