FOURTEENTH FOUND.
ANOTHER BODY TAKEN FROM THE
WAREHOUSE RUINS.
what Was Mt First Supposed to Be the
Corpses ofSsvornl Victims Proves to Bo
n Mass of kofrigerator Meat-The Find
ing of the Last Body.

CHICAGO, July 12.-The Herald this
morning said that early this morning it was
learned that 10 more bodies had been taken
from the ruins of the cold storage ware
house. The corp'es lay piled in heap
near the elevator shaft
1t has been impossible to verify this state
ment. At the morgue nothing is known OF
the alleged discovery. Men at work in the
ruins this morning declare that the state
ment has no foundation whatever.
The report appears to have been founded
on the discovery Of large amount Of re-
frigerator meat that had u fallen in a heap
after tho fire, and was mistaken for human
bodies. This mass OF charred meat was dis
covered by gang OF workmen, VINO for a
moment believed they had come upon a
large number of victims.
DR.. Robinson of the ambulance service
said there had been no bodies taken from
the ruins since o'clock last night. lie
believes however, that there are more bod
les under the ruins.
The latest report of the missing Is that
Robert Benhubbcr of Marquette, Mich, a
capitalist, is among the number. Louis j..
Franc, one of the firemen, who jumped
from the tower died to-day.

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO, July
IA. Nearly 200 men were at work to-day
clearing the ruins Of the cold storage ware
house, but even with SO great force
it Will probably be fortthing before
the mass is cleared away. No more
bodies have been found when work was
stopped for the day at 6 O'Clock, although
tho odors that arise from around the smoke
stack where no meats were stored, indicate
that there are more bodies in the ruins.
The formal testimony in the inquest on
the fire began to-day at tho Hyde Park po-
lice station. Coroner McHale has learned
from the postmaster at Marquette, Mich.
that Robert Blenhuebor, who was supposed
to have been lost in the ruins, was alive

DR.. BRYANT DENIES 1T

NEW YORK. Dec. 9.-The last CONNER

third within six months. DIR. Bryant the
Advertiser says, took with him to Wash

operated on him in the closest seclusion.
The statement that Dr. Bryant operated On
Csveland when the President made hur-
ried and mysterious visit to this city one
month ago has been confirmed by people
who claim to have seen bill for 5000 rem

In answer to the inquiries of the police
Lenoir declared that no cne else ip the
Chamber was known 10 him. This state
ment was shortly afterward proved to be
false, because while Lenoir's wounds were
being dressed. another injured man ap-
preached him in stealthy manner, and
after whispering Lenoir's name, said:
Il am going TO the hospital"
by this remark the authorities discoy-
cred that LenOlr had lied and that in reali-
" he had one aceOmplice or more in the
building. LenOir recently arrived from
Bordeaux and has been under police sur
veilance ever since.
Among the wounded is Toudes, the un-
Gle of General Young, whose right leg is
badly injured.
General Billot was In the strangers GAL
lery and was slightly wounded in the left
shoulder.
Dupuy, president of the Chamber, re-
ceived trifling scalp wound.
One Of the women spectators named
Malley was wounded in the leg and so
mutilaied that the doctors declare she will
be a cripple for life. She displayed great
courage.
a Roumanian woman named Mantel
was severely wounded.
Up to the present time fifty wounded
persons have passed through the hands of
Dr. Blet alone. Altogether over eighty per-
sons were wounded.
Besides numerous cOmmissaries, called
10 the Chamber by FOurnier, Director of
the Surete Generate. fifty police agents
have been busily engaged in accompanying
to their homes all persons permitted to
leave the building in order to verify their
identity.
At midnight the excitement was still
very great. There seems to be everv rea
son to believe that the bomb was thrown
by anarchists. The crime will undoubtedly
result in strengthening tha hands of the
Government and in weakening the social
lists. although they take great pains to
denounce the anarchists. Nine Deputies

Much suspicion has been directed toward
shoemaker named Champeau, who has
only recently arrived in Paris. 1t has been
ascertaiped that the nails wherewith the
bomb was partly charged are the same as
those used by cobblers. Champeau at the
outset of his examination was very cool,
but he became greatly agtated when he
was handcuffed.
The following Deputies are now known
to be among the wounded: Leclech, Able

Socialist Deputies Jourds and Jaurez and

THE RESERVE FORCE.
Troops Will Be Landed Only to
Preserve Order,

HONOLULU, Nov. 22.-The Honolulu
Commercial Advertiser under date of No
vember q sums up the situation as fol-
| lows:
"The maintenance of public order is
we'll assured. 1t has the vigilant care Of
| the Government. Zealously supported by
he military and citizens. II also has the
solid backing of the United States forces
as publicly guaranteed by Minister Willis.
The American Minister'S assurance came
to the Honolulu public at an opDortune
moment, when it was of important ser
vice. As he expressed himself in private
conversation it was put forth as a humane
act in order to allay those apprehensions
from which TIE weaker mem bers of society
keenly suffer in times of excitement and
agitation.
''lt plainly was not meant by the Min
lister 10 be understood that the community
were to rely upon the forces of the Phila-
delphia and the Adams for direct and i'm
mediate protection. That is the duty of
the police and of the local military. The
American forces are not performing the
police duty of the city. They are not on
shore. as they would need to be in order
TO give the prompt protection required and
to act for the immediate suppression of
incipient disorder. They are the reserve
guard. They are held prepared RAPIDLY to
re-enforce THE local police and military in
case Of serious actual outbreak.
This junction of theirs has long been
well understood. 1t was highly fitting,
however. that the newly arrived Minister
should certify the fact and make it under
stood that this protection was guaranteed
by himself in the fullest sense of its pro-
priety. In saying that he was correctly
reported that even if the Provisional Gov
ernment DISCHARGED the whole of It's troops
to-day no lawlessness would BIZ allowed
for one moment under the present situa-
ton of affairs he is obviously not to be
construed as meaning that the Govern
ment might as well dismiss their troops.
for the American forces would care for
the city. Ii the Government were to re-
| lax its care then plainly the forces of the
warshiDs would have to be landed and
kept on guard ashore, which is certainly
not the thing proposed at present.
1.-The sneer of the Bulletin at the Gov
ernment for keeping extra force on guard
| is irrelevant and churlish. The assurance
given by Minister Willis of the availability
of the forces under his control for the pro-
lection of the city was not intended to re-
heve the Government from continuing 10
| fulfill their task of protection, or he would
so have Informed them. His language,
even if they should, implies that he ex-
poets them not to relax their care. 1t was
thing not to be believe d that they should
be so remiss; but if they were he at least
would take care that the public safety was
| secure"

wife of Deputy CaruQuet from Savoy, and
upon being refused amittance to the
Chamber she fell into violent fit of hys-
terra. She was positively assured that her
husband had not been in the slightest de-
gree injured. and recovering somewhat of
her composure she departed.
Ambulances meanwhile continued to
arrive, and one by one the persons
wounded were removed TO their homes.
The crowd outside the building kept con-
stantly increasing in numbers aud the
public excitement was greater than ever.
Some of the Deputies were now permitted
to leave the building and along with them
other injured persons were allo wed to de-
part. just at this time the door of the
Paais Bourbon opened and two gen.
darmes appeared. conducting between
them an individual dressed in gray cloth
ing. They led him across the sidewalk to
the curb. called fiacre, aud all three were
driven rapidly to the Prefecture of tie
Police.
The vehicle had scarcely passed out of
sight of the multitude in front of the
building when a similar incident was Ell
acted. The door of the Palas Bourbon
opened second time, two more gendarmes
appeared, having In custody another un-
known person. and they also placed him
in fiacre and drove rapidly away to the
Prefecture.
At late hour this evening strangers
were finally permitted TO quit the Palais
Bourbon upon furnishing satisfactory de-
tails as to their civil position.
President Carnot has dispatched a
special officer to visit the wounded in his
name.

THURSToN COMING WEST.
Does Not Mean to Go to Honolulu
Right Away.

OMAHA. Dec. 9-Minister Thurston of
Hawaii passed through Omaha at 2:3O
o'clock. He was shown the Associated
Press dispatch from Auckland by a repre-
sentative of the Associated Press. and did
not appear surprised by the news contained
therein.
"rhe Provisional Government cannot
now be overthrown except by FORCE" said
Thurston, "and the announcement that
force would be necessary to keep the Queen
on the throne, should she be restored, is
correct"
Minister Thurston added that he might
eventually go to Honolulu. but his inten-
tions now were to send a dispatch by a
messenger, and intimated that Editor
Castle, who accompanied him, would bear
his official documents. The gentlemen
will reach San Francisco on Tuesday next,
and the dispatches for the Provisional Gov
ernment at Honolulu will be sent On
Thursday, the 14th of December.
