Prominent Republicans at Chicago En- Route
to the Minneapolis Convention.

are plenty at hotels this morning, and con-
ferences among leaders are constantly held.

seemed to mean a good deal.

from his state are for Blaine. ana all but
TWO OF the South Dakota delegation, who
were instructed for Harrison, have gone
over to Blaine. The members of the ma

CHAUNCEY DEPEW IN CHICAGO
lie Talks on the Presidential Situation as
Between Harrison and Blaine.


CHICAGO, June 1.-Chauncey M. Depew
arrived tonight Speaking Of the posi-
bility OF Blaine being 4 candidate, he said
Harrison was almost certain Of being the
nominee, but in case Blaine was nominated
and refused, then Harrison could not be
candidate for the Office declined by the
chief officer of his cabinet. The demoraliz-
alton of such an event would spread all over
the country, and the party be defeated be-
fore election began.
The irresistible and incontestable logic
of the situation is the nomination of Har-
rision, and the only chance to beat Har-
rison is that the convention should vote
for half dozen favorite sons and prevent
a choice until his opponents could concen-
trate on somebody.
The supreme effort to induce Blaine to
become a candidate has practically retired
everybody but him, so that unless be
allows his name 10 be presented, Harrison
will be nominated by the potential force of
his record, and friends, and by default of
the defendant. He said nothing could be
more suggestive of the difficulties of the
situation to the opponents of Harrison
than the spectacle Of practical politicians
like PIatt, Quay, Clarkson and others
flirting with the ghost of Caesar. and the
coffin of Mahomet.

LATER.

The latest news from the scene of the
disaster indicates that the list of missing
men is 200. At last accounts twenty-five
bodies, burned and blackened, had been re-
covered and twenty-five miners rescued in
q precarious condition. The unfortunate
are shockingly burned and crushed. 1t is
found that most of the victims, inducing
three men who lost their lives in the work
of rescue, died of suffocation.
The explosion is supposed to have been
caused by a reckless miner who took a
naked light into the presence of gases.
Another rumor attributes the fire to an in
cendiary origin. Large crowds of excited
persons, consisting mainly of families of
the unfortunates are around the shafts.
Affecting scenes are witnessed on all sides.

state to the doubtful column. The meeting
was in secret session all day and the whole
matter OF fusion was under discussion,
and resolution adopted favor1ng it. The
preamble Of the resolutions arranges the
details OF the coalition as follows: The
Democrats will be given the candidate for
chief justice of the supreme court and
congressman at-.arge, the rest of the state
ticket to be given to the Peoples party.
The candida ties of the two parties are to
be nominated at separate conventions, the
object being to avoid endorsement by eitae
party of the others principles.

Startling Explosion In the Heart of Brook
lyn-Nobody Hurt.
IN $1,000, "a 80 nInr,n s.A

NEW YORK, O0tober 1.-People in the
vicinity of the Garfield building opposite
the Brooklyn City Hall, .wereithrown into q
state of great excitement this morning
about 10 O'clock by tue explosion of what
gossip says was dynamite bomb, but
what the police assert was a paper bag
filled with giant torpedoes.
At all events, there was a very loud ex-
plosion. which shook the immediate neigh
borhood and sent fear to the hearts of all
who heard II.
Tho Garfield building is filed with
Offices. II was directly IN front of the en-
trance to the building that the explosion
occurred.
What appears to have been an ordinary
paper bag that some one had cast away
was living on the sidewalk when Miss Lena
Beerns, aged 10 years, was passing the
building. Ono OF her feet struck the OBJ
struction. when Immediately there was an
explosion, which threw her several feet.
She was not hurt, but the shock to her
nervous system made IL several minutes
before she sufficiently recovered 10 pro-
coed. One of her shoes was badly torn
and cut Ex-Mayor Hunter was on the
street about 100 feet from where the ex-
plosion occurred. and some people adj
vance the Idea that the obstruction was in
tended for him.
Not person was injured, although the
street was pretty well crowded. The
police, as intimated, scout the idea that it
was dynamite bomb. They say they be-
lieve it was the product of some practical
Joker. who wanted to create q sensation.
No arrests have been made. The sidewalk
was not cracked, nor was there damage of
any kind done, save the tearing of the
girls shoe and the shock received by halt
dozen people near her when she kicked
the obstruction.
The police say the bag could not have
been thrown from a window, or it would
have exploded when il struck the vide
walk. The police investigation at noon
resulted in ascertaIning that the obstruc-
ton was a paper-bay filed with pebbles
and Illuminating powder. such as is used in
fireworks. A bootblack who has stand at
the Garfield building asserts that he saw
the bag in the gutter at 6 o'clock this
morning.
