Nearly nine-tenths of the leading
wool manufacturers of the United
States signed a petition asking the
Senate not to pass the Springer free
wool bill. 1t is a strong document
and riddles in a mastery way the fall
lacies of the free-wool fanatics. The
enactment of such law at such time
would bring ruin to many persons
whose interests have been embarked
in the growing of merino or clothing
wool on the encouragement held out
by thirty years of uninterrupted Pro

The free tin plate bill of the Demo
cratic House is probably intended to
pave the way for liberal contribu'
ton to the Democratic campaign fund
from the British TIN plate trust. The
$50, ZOO which was subscribed by the
foreign steamship ring in New York city
to promote Cleveland's reelection In
1883, has made the Democrats anxious

dull explosion was heard at that hour,
and flame fully two hundred feet high
pierced the inky blackness and threw a
glarlng light over vast eXpanse of an
CRY waters. 1t was the Crescent Oil Re-
tnery on fire, and never before did a fire
seem to spread with such lightning-lik
rapldity. Pandemonium broke loose
among the people and panic reigned su-
preme. Thousands of people rushed pell-
NEIL though the streets, tumbling and
knocking each other in an aimless en-
deayor to escape from what they imag-
1ned the crack of doom. The fierce light
thrown on the surroundings revealed an
appalling sight. On the roofs and in the
windows of upper stories of houses in the
Hooded district appeared men, women
and children, scantily clad, and
all piteously appealing for aid
and succor. Clinging to driftwood tim

scores of human beings, white and terror

had been recovered in Oil City, but it is
impossible to give an accurate estimate of
the total loss of life. There has been no
communication between this city and
Titusville since o'clock last evening.
The loss of life there, it is said, will ex-
ceed 100. A tank owned by the Penn
sylvania Refining Company, up Seneca
street, is in danger Of exploding at this
writing. 1t contains 5000 barrels of oil,
and if it catches fire will wipe out the en-

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Blaine spent
the day quietly at home. He received a
few calls from personal friends, but ad-

TO interview him were equally unsuccess-
ful. Blaine has, however. sent to the
Associated Press an autographic denial
OF reputed interview with him and
Mrs. Blaine, sent out by the United
Press last night, saying: "There is not
the slightest foundation in truth. 1t is

Decorations Completed-Dignffied and

MINNEAPoLIs, June 5.-The adornment
of Convention Hall was completed to-
day, The decorations, in their perfect en-
semble, display all the genius of Worth.
They are in no sense elaborate, but are
dignified and becoming. The dome of
the hall is supported by series of col
umns, around which has been gathered
chocolate-colored drapery intertwined
with sheafs of Minnesota wheat. The
quadrilateral in which the delegates will
sit is Immediately in front of the Chair
mans platform. Between the central
columns on either side has been festooned
national colors, folds of flags divided and
held in the talons of the American eagle.
In the rear of the platform the same
decoration prevails, and on either side
the column has been surrounded with
old gold, displaying sheaves of wheat on
which is perched an eagle, appearing on
the eve of flight. Suspended from the
pillars skirting the seats assigned to dele
gates are shields and banners of States.
As the Chairman faces the audience the
arms of the State OF New York will be on
the right, and next to the Empire State is
the Pennsylvania motto. Then follow to
the right, the arms of Vermont, Alabama,
South Dakota, Missouri, Massachusetts,.
Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, California,
Virginia, Maryland, Georgia, Maine, In
diana and Ohio. In the rear of the above
the arms of the other States are exhib-
tied.
The Delegates-at-Large National Com
mittee men and Alternates will be read
lily recognizable. The arrangement of
the seats assigned to the spectators will
surpass those of any other convention.
1t is thought that the audience which
will attend Mondays concert will be the
most interesting congregation of persons
ever assembled in this country. The
convention building viii be equipped
with restaurant and divers commercial
facilities for the comfort of the delegates
and newspaper men in the rapid trans
mission of news.

The storm center seemed to rise up into
the air and again drop to the ground
about three blocks away, striking the
Congregational Church, in which chill
dren were rehearsing for Children's Day.
Two hundred small children had lust
finished the exercises and had gone
home. The church was raised from its
foundations and dashed down in a mass
of ruins, burying about sixty children,
together with the pastor of the church
and several teachers. Most fortunately
the falling of the tinbers formed an arch
over the heads of those in the church,
and ali were soon released from imprison-
ment.
Several were so seriously injured they
cannot live. Among them were Maud

Ruth Cresswell and her little sister, Maud

one effect of Blaine's resignation was
the sudden termination of the conference
between himself and the representatives
of Canada. Yesterdays session was
abruptly terminated by Blaine's state
ment that it was useless to continue the
negotiations, as he was about to sever his
official relations with the Government,
The Canadian Commissioners left on the
afternoon train for Ottawa in an un-
pleasant frame of mind and quite free in
stating that they We're not fairly treated

II was learned that there were no sensa-

the conference closed with a friendly
spirit on both sides.
The Secretary, remained at the State
Department until Ills p. NJ, arranging
his private papers. While he was doing
this, an official document was laid before
him for signature. Blaine told the mes
senger to take 1t away, saying quietly,

1t is said that this was the first intima-
ton he gave any of his official associates
of his resignation.

MINNEAPOLIS, juno 5.-Sentator Petit
grew Of South Dakota arrived from

mirer Of Blaine. His utterances to-day
created little short OF sensation. 81 am
not surprised" said he, sat the resigna-
ton Of Blaine. The only thing singular
is that man of Blaine's disposition
should have so long remained in intimate
association with such men as Tracy,
Miller and Wanamaker. Harrison and
his little advisers strove to ferment dis
cord with insignificant Chile. It was
Blaine who bore the insults and SANDERS
OF his associates and their tools, because
he declined to lend himself to the jingo
efforts for the denomination of their chief.
AS you remember, Blaine was re-
ported sick during the pending of the
Behring Sea negotiations. l am advised
that Blaine was never in better health
than during that incident, but the Presi-
dent, with small envy OF the same great
Secretary, took the negotiations out of
his hands, where they legitimately be-
longed. The Secretary turned the entire
matter over to his excellency, and the
report was given out that the Secretary
was sick. He was only sick of being in
suited by the chief and kitchen Cabinet.
Whatever excellence there has been in
Harrison's administration is traceable to
Blaine and Rusk. The mistakes and
weaknesses that occasioned the political
earthquake of 1890 belong to Harrison
and his errand boys. He is the most
signal example in history Of class Pres-
dent. [ have no doubt as to the result.
