TILE STILL IN TIE FIGHT
III, Sew York Delegation DO Not Yet
N0Mccdc thnt They Arc lIentep.

CHICAGO Juno 2l.-The New York delegation
leaders late this afternoon removed the fight
IN Mr.. !iili's brhhll. and tonight are alleging
thu; dark horse may yet beat Mr.. Cleveland
The rank and Mo Of Hill men do not, however,
share this sentiment. and 1t is common talk on
tho street corners and In tho hotel Hobbies
where New York Stnte men nre gathered. or
where Tho Tammany bnnncr is displa yed. that
tho Hill people arc badly beaten. Mr.. Murphy
took particular pains tonight to send for tho
newspaper men and deny the story that some
Of the members OF tho New York delegation
had asked that Mr.. Hills name be dropped.
"Thero Is not a word OF truth IN it," he said
Nobody has thought of such thing. we do
not concedo that wo are beaten. and shall not
until alter II ballot has determined It,"
State Treasurer Elliot Danforth said: Mr..
Cleveland is not yet nominated. and my candid
opinion Is that he will not be. Why. at little
conference this afternoon We figured out the
opposition to Mr.. Cleveland can muster 40
votes. and that precludes his nomination on
tho first ballot In addition to that VIC believe
that the vote for Mr.. Cleveland win begin to
full after the first ballot"
"Will New York cast its vote for Mr.. Boles,
as has been intimated ?" was asked.
Il cannot say. believe. however. that they
will vote for Mr.. Hill at all times."
Tho general opinion tonight 10 that COM
bine Of Hill and Boies is being formed. but It
Is doubtful at this writing whether they can
stop Mr.. Cleveland's nomination on the first
ballot. Nevertheless this plan Is being pushed
tonight. and the New York leaders are as hard
at work as II tho contest had but Just begun.
At O o'clock they reopened the campaign Of
literature and issued the following. as in re-
ply to inquiries addressed to them by dele
gates from States instructed to vote for Cleve-

DEADLY WORK OF GAS.

AerrAnie Explosion in Belgium Coliiery
800 Men Perish.
! BRUSSELS, March 11.-An accident or,
Cured to-day in the Anderluis collierv
near Charleroi, which, it is feared, wills
result IN great loss of life Three
hundred miners were employed in the
coal pit, when there was terrific explo-
sion of fire damp. The pit mouth was
rendered unavailable, and up to the
present the fate of the imprisoned
Workmen is unknown. Efforts are be-
Ing made to rescue any of the men who
may have survived the explosion.
Tremendous excitement prevails in
the vicinity Of the pit. Men, women
and children have assembled in an
enormous crowd and are wild with
fear, for it is thought that when an
entrance is made to the colliery the loss
will be found to be appalling. Of the
800 men at work only 3 have thus far
arrived at the mouth of the pit in
safety.
The effect Of the explosion was
terrific. The cage and the ventilator
were shattered. The destruction of the
! ventilator adds an element Of great dan
ger to the situation. The men, if anv,
who survived the shock Of the explosion
are apt to meet their death from the
! choke damp, as with the destruction of
the ventilator it is impossible to evade
the gas. Most of the miners are mar
ried, and their families are at the pit
mouth frantic with grief.
The worst is feared, and the mine Of
fcers and the gendarmes have the
greatest difficulty III preserving space
sufficient for the rescuing party that
has been organized to work in. Volun-
teers are plenty, and almost super
human efforts are being made to clear
the shaft.
Later particulars regarding the ex-
plosion show that it occurred in a gal
lery 400 feet below the surface. Here
were working 270 men. OF this num-
Der 40 escaped by means of the second
terribly and probably fatally injured
condition.
The excitement among the crowd Of
men and children continues to grow in
intensity, and the grief of those who
have husbands or others in the mine is
pitiabie. Some of the women are quite
frantic, and it has been found necessary
to get their friends to remove them
from the scene of the accident. Peo-
pie from the surrounding country are
pouring into the town. Many Of them
have friends or relatives among the
miners. They are adding to the great
excitement Preyailin Ling. every, everywhere in
It is feared that all the men have
been killed. This is not the estimate
of persons who are carried away by ex-.
element, but of those who understand
thoroughly the workings of the coliiery.

BRUSSELS, March 12-There has been
little II any abatement in the excitement
IN and about Charleroi, near which
place the appalling explosion occurred
yesterday morning in the Anderlues
ceiilery. All night long hundreds of
men, women and children have kept
dreary watch at the pit mouth, hoping
LOT the best, yet almost knowing their
nope was without reason.
The tire caused by the explosion is
still burning in the lower gallery, where
the accident occurred. The shock of
the explosion detached huge masses of
rock and earth; the galleries are so
blocked with the debris that it is i'm
possible to approach nearer than 100
yards to the place where the great body
OF miners We're working. Besides the
Dirt and rock, the carcasses of forty
horses block the approach to the lower
gallery.
The bodies that have been recovered
were covered with a thick black dust,
winch IN some instances had been
taken to the office they were placed up
on straw that had been spread on the
11oor, and the faces were then cleaned
rs far as possible to allow Of identifca-
ton, Some, if not all, OF the women
employed in the mine have met their
death by the explosion. Among the
bodies recovered is that of 14-year-
old girl.
1t has been ascertained that 27O per-
sons were working in the mine at the
time Of the explosion. Most Of them
were at work in the two galleries where
the greatest damage was done. One OF
these galleries is $50 and the other $50
yards below the surface.
Anderlues working say that all those
working in the lower gallery must be
dead. Altogether thirty-th bodies
have been recovered.
