TEN MORE BODIES.
A Rumor Concerning the Worlds Fair
Fire Which Was Happily Untrue.

WORLDS FAIR GROUNDS, CHICAGO.
July 12.--Today's work in the ruins
wrought by Mondays fire resulted in the
finding of one more body, that of R. A.
Drummond, superintendent of the Har-
ter Electric Company. At half past five
operations were suspended for the night.
force OF men was engaged during the
afternoon in removing wines and fruit
from the cold storage vaults. The list
OF known dead now numbers fourteen,
and the missing number four. Up to
this afternoon $12, ,S25 was subscribed to
the! relief fund and subscriptions are
still rapidly coming in.
rumor printed i'll the Herald that ten
more bodies had been discovered in the
ruins appears to have been founded on
the discovery of a large amount of re-
frlgerator meat that had fallen in a heap
after the fire and was mistaken for hu-
man bodies. This mass of charred meat
was discovered by gang of workmen.
BY the aid OF long rope they had pulled
away large section of staff-covered
wall. AS they came forward to begin
anew their burrowing most sickening
stencil arose. A few feet from the sur
face there. lay a shameless mass of
charred and blackenedi meat. For a mo-
ment they believed they had discovered
a large number of victims.
Another name will probably be added
to the list of dead whose bodies are
charred to unrecognizable masses in the
ruins of the cold storage pavilion. The
latest report of the missing indicates
that Robert Bienhuber, a Marquette.
Mich, capitalist. is among tine number.
Louis J. Frank, pipeman, who jumped
from the tower. died this morning at
the Emergency Hospital. He was among
the men who were caught on the tower
and jumped to the roof below.
Bridgeport Boy a Victim.
BRIDGEPORT, Conn, July 12.-Henry,
Wylie, 10 years old, of this city, was one
of those killed in the Chicago fire Mon
day. He had been in that city about
five months and was employed about the
fair grounds. He, with others, went to
aid the firemen. His identity was dis
covered by belt which he wore bearing
the initials H. W." When his parents
read that a body with such belt had
been found they were almost certain
that the victim was their son and tele-
gram last night confirmed their suspic-
ions.

LONDON, July 12--Mr. Thomas Sex

fused to obey the order of Chairman
Mellor to withdraw the expressions he
used at last nights sitting of the COM
mittee of the whole of the House of
Commons in regard to the speech made
by Mr.. William Brodrick, Conservative,
in the course of which the latter charac-

the action of Mr.. Mellor in suspending

sion of the House today Mr.. Sexton
asked Speaker Peel if Mr. Mellor had not
violated the rules of procedure of the
House in suspending him for disorderly
conduct, and if he could obtain the iuag-
flent of the House on the conduct of Mr..
Mellor.
The Speaker said that Mr.. Sexton had
a right under the rules to give notice Of

Gov. Waite.
DENVER, Col. July 12.-The silver
convention reassembled today with a
large attendance. Delegates were an
pointed to the st. Louis and Chicago
silver conventions and the ..gold bug''
gathering at st. Paul. The committee
on resolutions made report which was
unanimously adopted. The report is in
the form Of an address to the people of the
United States. 1t asserts that preced-
ing the call of an extra session of Con-
gress, the classes which had struggled
for 20 years to overthrow the bi-metallic
money standard, inaugurated plan
which they untruthfully charged to the
present silver law. 1t declares the pro-
posed unconditional repeal of the silver
purchasing cladse of the Sherman law
means the striking from the laws of the
lost remnant of legislation that secures
coinage for silver.
The convention after arranging for a
fund with which to disseminate free
coinage literature in the East adjourned
sine die.
The following are passages from the
flery speech made by Gov. Waite before
the conve ntion yesterday.
The demonetization act of 1873 was
secret and fraudulent-the conduct of
the masses will be open and violent.
We stand today on the brink of the
greatest crisis the West and the country
has ever had. The country and the West
demand the free and unlimited coinage
OF silver. The East have conspired
against the West and are daily drawing
their loans from among us and trv and
force us to take what Wall and Lom
bard streets care to give us.
Gentlemen, if Congress will not give
us free coinage, we will go to Washing
ton and at the points of shotguns de-
mand what our Western country de-
mands, the free coinage of silver
If 1t is thus that the United States is
unable to carry out its economic and
governmental policy under our own con-
stltutlon and laws without the direction
OF consent of foreign powers, if we are
only province of European monarchies.
then we need another revolution. an
other appeal to arms and to the God of
hosts. No banker, no broker, no usurer.
and, least of all, no meddling politician
he continued, s'has it In his power to
compromise this tremendous issue. War
has begun.
1T is the same war which must al
ways be raised against oppression to pre-
serve the liberties of man. Our weapons
are argument and bailot-a free ballot
and fair count-and if the money pow
er shall attempt to sustain it's usurpa-
ton by the strong hand, we will meet
that issue when it is forced upon us, for
it is better that blood should flow to the
l,<~x L III 4. L
liberties should be destroyed"
These remarks were received with an
plause that shook the hall. The excite
ment of the mining men was indescrib-
able. Millionaires and laborers tunbled
over each other to give the governor
their hands in return for his fiery speech.
The afternoon papers issued extra
editions and eulogized the governor for
his remarks.

ly attended meeting of the Boston
Chamber of Commerce was held this af-
ternoon. Outsiders attended in large
numbers. Resolutions demanding the
immediate repeal of the silver purchas-
ing clauses of the Sherman act were
unanimously adopted as follows:
whereas, since the passage, on July
IA, 1890, of the so-called Sherman act,
this country has fairly tried the policy of
purchasing silver bullion, and as a result
finds it's treasury depleted by the with
drawal of gold, and filed with silver
which it can neither sell nor circulate,
and which is rapidly depreciating in val
ue, the confidence of the nation and of
all who deal with 1t greatly shaken. and
business everywhere checked; and
Whereas, while this policy continues
no man feels safe in making contracts.
investing capital, or undertaking new en-,
terprises, and unless confidence can be
restored the gravest disasters, depriving
capitalists of their property and laborers
OF their livelihood, are likely to ensue;
and,
Whereas, it is the merest folly for this
country, with It's enormous natural re-
sources, its unexampled credit, its annu-
al income of thousands of millions, it's
magnificent crops which other nations
must buy to live, its great and hhorough-
ly organized industries, and everything
that can make it rich and prosperous, to
allow its whole business life to be para
lyzed by suicidal laws; therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Boston Chamber
OF Commerce, in public meeting assem-
bled, hereby calls earnestly upon Con-
gress, which is soon to convene, for the
Immediate and unconditional repeal of
the silver-purchasing clauses Of the said
