Though the President makes no direct
reference to the force bill in his letter OF
acceptance, he says enough of alleged cleo
ton frauds in the South to show that his
sectional prejudice, and his desire to in
terfere with the right of the people of the
Southern States to govern themselves, have
not in the least abated enough to keep
these facts from being forgotten-that his
party is committed by It's platform and its
record TO the enactment of such measure
as the Davenport-Lodge bill, and that he
has been the most powerful and persistent
advocate of the passage of such a measure.

L. Forrest, of New York. Forrest came
on to join the expedition. Once before
Doran looked for the Peg Leg mine and
nearly lost his life. An old miner gave
him rough map made by Peter Smith,
who years ago found the three little

he determined to try again.
The party was we'll equipped and

the arduous exploring work. Hansen
was down on the borders OF the desert
recently and learned that several Coco

white men evidently lost, as the tracks
circled and crossed. Hansen's story
created great interes st among mining
men and an effort will be made to rescue

Several train employees of the Nor

to scare last Saturday by q young

that city, and disem barked there. AS
they left the train, how over, the con-
ductor noticed that the baby was miss

train at Farmville, he became alarmed
and notified his superiors of the strange
disappearance of the little one.
The man and women took the first
west-b bound train that passed Rice's for

DISASTROUS FIRE.
a $25. 900 Blaze in a News
paper Office.

WASHINGTON, April 13.-TSpeciall-
Shortly before o O'Clock this morning
fire was discovered in tho press room of
the Evening Star building. The flames
quickly found their way through to the
upper floors where the stereotyping de-
partment and composing rooms are sit
uated. About sixty printers were at the
tlme at work on the upper floor, beside
large number OF employees in other
parts OF the building. There was
hurried rush for the stairways, but such
was the rapid progress of the fire that a
mum Der were driven back by smoke and
oollged to make their escape through
windows to the roofs OF adjoining build
,ngs and others by ladders which had
peen hastily procured. On the arrival
OF the ire department one printer. the
only person then in the building. was
rescued.
The fire was confined to tho l. of tho
main building and the principal damage
is from water. A valuable Potter and
two Hoe presses on the lower floor arc
not thought to be seriously damaged.
Paper to the estimated value ofS1O, 900.
stored on the main floor, is total loss.
The contents of the composing room
were seriously damaged. as well as was
the stereotyping apparatus. Tho total
loss is estimated at $4,000, fairly COW
cred by insurance.
Arrangements were at once made to
get out the regular issue OF the paper
to-day on the presses of the National
Tribune, and it is probable that sub
sequent issues can BIO issued from the
damaged building.
Mr.. S. II. Kaufman, president of the
company. had made all arrangements to
leave Washington at noon to day with
his family on European tour.

HARRISBURG, Pa, April 13.-[Speciall
AS early as ten O'clock this morning
delegates to the Democratic State con-
yention began to assemble in the Har-
risburg opera house. Tickle is of admis-
sion were not given out by State Chair
man Wright until this morning and
there was consequently much confusion.
Every safeguard was thrown around the
distribution of tickets for tho reason
that it was feared that those not
friendly to Mr.. Harrity and the State
administration might counterfeit. the
tickets and fill the hall with an undesir-
able class of visitors.
when the convention was called to
order at noon the lower floor Of the
opera house was filled up with 463 dele
gates and the swo galleries were packed
full of spectators.
No convention held here in wears has
attracted such crowded galleries AS the
various party leaders entered and were
recognized, they were greeted with ap-
plause, which was, in all cases, impair
TALLY bestowed.
The convention was raped to order
by Chairman Wright, at lilo, and the
business formally began by tho reading
OF the call for the convention, issued
January 30. John r. Read, of Philadel-
phia, nominated Congressman Beltz-
hoover for temporary chairman, and he
was elected unanimously.
In the course Of his speech, on taking
the chair, MIR. Beltzhoover took occa.
sion to refer in compliment ary terms to
Governor Pattison and Grover Cleye.
land. These references wore received
with cheers long continued One indi-
vidual in the gallery shouted "Wnat's
the matter with HIP" but only groans
and Kisses followed tho mention of tho
name Of Now York's Democratic leader.
The tenn porary organization was then
completed by tho selection of commit.
tees on resolutions, credentials and or.
ganization. At D. m. the convention
took recess until $3.50, but it was 4:4o
before the convention reas sem bled.
There had been some trouble in the
credentials committee and this trouble
was renewed on the floor CT the conyen-
ton when the report of the com mittee
was read. 1t was in favor of seating all
administration delegates. 1t was then
adopted and State Senator Ross took the
gavel as permanent chairman.
After the adoption of the report OF the
credentials committee tho platform was
read, and another controversy arose over
tho plank instructing the delegates to
vote as unit. The platform does not
instruct delegates as to any particular
candidate. 1t simply instructs them to
vote as unit Taere is in the plat
form, however, q strong Endorsements of

WASHINGTON. April l3.-lSpeciall-
The President received telegram last
night from the acting governor of
Wyoming in which he said: lover
sixty-one owners of live stock are re-
ported to have made an armed expedi-
ton into Johnston county for the pur-
pose OF protecting their live stock and
preventing unlawful roundups by
rustlers. They are at "T. A." rancho.
thirteen miles from Fort Mckinney,
and are besieged by the sheriff and a
posse and by rustlers from that section
of the country, said to to 200 and 300 in
number.
Wagons of stockmen were captured
and taken away from them. and it is re-
ported battle took place yesterday,
during which q number of men wore
Killed. Great excitement prevails.
Both parties are very determined, and
II is feared that If successful will show
no mercy to the persons captured Tho
civil authorities are unable to prevent
violence. The situation is serious, and
immediate assistance will probably pre-
vent great loss of llfe."
Tho President informed the Secretary
OF War that the above statement in his
opinion made o case under section of
article of the constitution, that iusti-
hes the use of the army of the United
States to protect the State of Wyoming
against domestic violence, and direc ted
him to take immediate steps to send
sufficient force to the scene of trouble,
end to cooperate with the governor in
restoring order. Gen. Scho6eld ordered
the troops at Fort Mckinney to the
scene at once. There are at that post
three companies of Eighth Infantry and
three troops of Sixth Cavalry.
