Ballot.
General Satisfaction Expressed Mt tho &c.
lection-A Precedent Made In the
Montana Contest Case.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21.-fSpecial].- Chi
cngo's selection for the national democratic
convention was generally looked for as the
outcome of hot Fight between Milwaukee
and st. Paul. The northwestern vote was
divided and concentration on either was
impossible. Chicago was good mutual
ground for all factions and its superb ac-
'commodations were unanswerable arRu-
rnents il its favor. The result gives gen
eral satisfaction and insures great con-
vention in the center of a group of doubtful
states No political Significance attaches
to the choice. The committee was called
upon to establish precedent in the case
Of Montana's committeeman. DR.. Mitchell,
Of Deer Lodge, had credentials as a territor-
ial delegate of 1855, and Col. Broadwater ae
committeeman named by the state conven-
tion at Anaconda in 1889. Both gentlemen
agreed to submit the case to the committee
to determine the legal question involved
and tile decision was in favor of Broad
water, who was represented by a. w
Lyman as proxy. Montana's vote was fol
st. Paul till the last two ballots, when il
went to Chicago. Tho meeting was har
monious all around. No manifestations
were made for any candidate and the COM
mittee adjourned in enthusiastic confidence
that the next president would be named ii

licemen Saves Many Of the
Unfortunates.
Others Come Upon Death In the Flames or
Arc Suffocated by the Iinpenetra-
bio Smoke.

IND1ANApoI1s, Jan. 22.-One OF the most
appalling fires in the history Of Indianap-
oils occurred late tonight. The National
Surgical institute, one of the most famous
Of its kind in the country, burned to tho
ground. The fire started at midnight in
the Office Of the building. Above the offices
were the wards for the babes and
mothers. Smoke was discovered few
minutes beforo midnight issuing
from the advertising room, and
is believed to have been caused by spon-
taneous combustion, and in fifteen min
ntes the whole lower floor was in flames.
The attendants barely awakened all pa-
tients, and in the halls and upper rooms
pandemonum rcigned. Shrek after shrek
for help went up as the inmates realized
their terrible situation. In a few
minutes white faces could be
seen at ench window Of the large
building and the unfortunate creatures
| yelled beseeching appeals to those below
for aid. Police, firemen and attendants
worked diligently and many patients were
removed from the burning building in
short time. Patients who we're able
to get about at all assisted no
bly, in the work of rescue. The
1 view IN the nallA ana on the stairway, De-
fore the fire communicated to the main
building, furnished weird sight. Pa
tients wrapped in bed clothing craw!ed and
helped themselves along from one floor and
one landing to another. Cots were hur-
riedly constructed from mattresses and
policemen and firemen carried the rescued
across the street to the new annex. Those
seriously burned in hands and limbs arc
numerous. sM
At 2:3O a. m. it is stated that two women
who jumped from the windows are dead.
1t is also reported that several dead bodies
have been found in the debris. The fire
WAS under control at that hour.
N AT 3 a. m. DR.. Allen. proprietor OF the in
stitute. said he felt certain that there are
several dead bodies in the main building
and several more in the annex, also that ut
least six children were suffocated in one Of
the rooms. A4$s4

Crib Tunnois.
CHICAGO. Jan. 2l.-This city is suffering
from Il water famine. The trouble extends
over the entire city, including the suburbs,
and is caused by the stoppage of the inlet
pipes in tho lake by ice. Private families,
factories and business buildings are the
greatest sufferers. Elevators have closed
down and the fires are banked to prevent
an explosion of the boilers. Business ut
tho stockyards and i'll the great slaughter
houses is at standstill and there is no
water for the thousands of famishing an
imals i'll the pens. Strenuous efforts are
being made to remedy the trouble, and it
will be but temporary. The inlet at the
waterworks ut Hyde Park and Lakeview
were opened this afternoon. and the pumps
are supplying water to those districts. The
North Chicago City railway shops closed
and the schools had to shut up. and brew
cries are much Strengthened by the scarcity
of water. Switching engines on nearly all

Burial Of Cardinal Manning With
the Full solemnity Of the
Ritual.
Occasion Of More Sincere Mourn
Ing Than the Funeral Of
Albert Victor.
Impressive Ceremony at the Brompto
Oratory-The People, Whe Loved
Him, Mourn Him Dead.

LONDON. Jan. 2l.--The funeral services
over the remains of Cardinal Manning
were held in the Brompton oratory to-day
Admission to the oratory was by ticket
only, for it would have been utterly inn
possible for the structure to contain a hun
dredth part of the vast crowd deBirous of
attending. Notwithstanding the misera-
BILE weather prevailing, a crowd began to
gather in the vicinity Of the oratory at an
early hour. u WAS composed largely Of
workingmen and their families and on
every hand could be heard expressions OF
love for the dead prslate. So dense was the
crowd and SO thick the fog that traffic i'll
the vicinity Of the oratory was brought to
q standstill. When the solemn mass re-
QUEEN commenced the oratory was filled
with notable persons representing the
church, state and all political parties. The
queen and the princess Of Wales wore rep
resented. All the ambassadors of foreign
powers were present Also The coffin re-
posed in front Of the altar, which was
draped with black, the only ornament Wis
ible being a solitary gold cross.
Bishop Headly, Of Newport and Menevia,
preached the funeral sermon. He opened
his remarks with a touching tribute to the
late duke of Clarence and Avondals. He
said an era had closed in the history Of
Catholicism in England with the death of
Cardinal Manning and new one had
opened. He made special reference to the
cardinals efforts to secure the Catholic
| education of children, and declared the
| struggle was not yet over He added that
perhaps the hottest and deadliest hour OF
| the education battle which is raging
| throughout the world would soon be fought.
The music throughout the service was
splendidly rendered. Among those pres
ent were the duke Of Norfolk, marquis Of
Ripon, marquis of Butte, Lord Howard Bur-
dets-C Coutts. Justin MCCARTHY, William
| O'Brien, John Dillon and Thomas Sexton.
1 At the conclusion of the service the body
was taken to Kensall Green cemetery,
where it was inferred, and was followed by
over 800 carriages containing many notable
people, after which marched large num-
ber Of workingmen's societies.
In some respects the ceremonies at the
funeral of Cardinal Manning was more i'm.
pressive than those Of the duke Of Clarence
To-day's services were invested with all the
grandeur of the Roman ritual, attended by
all the pomp beftting the last ceremon,
over the body of the prince of the church
The whole scene Was altogether most strik-
| ing and impressive, especially when 50(
priests marched in two by two and entered
the oratory from behind the funeral hang
ings under the dome. All clergy attending
wore their richest robes. There were pres
ent representatives of the Benedictines
Franoiscans Carmelites, Dominicans ano
all religious organizations.
