Discuss the"Fraternity' and Drexel Home
Officers Elected.
CHICAGO, June 16.-The International
Typographical union put in the day most
ly in secret session. The subjects dis
cussed We're the condition of the Drexel
home and a plan TO wage war on the Pro

organization. The DreXel home is said to
be of faulty construction, and has cost
more than necessary to maintain, so 1t Is
charged, but the delegates will not talk of
the matter ouside. What was done about
the Fraternity was equally secret. The
Fraternity is charged with displacing
union employees in offices in which trouble
arises between proprietors and local
unions.
There was aheated contest for the offices
of the first vice president, secretary, and
treasurer The other officers We're elected
by acclamation. The result of the election
was as follows: President, w. B. Prescott,
Toronto, Canada;s first vice president, j.
w. Hopkins, Pittsburg; second vice presi-
dent. II. c. Mcfarland, Washington, D..
c.; third vice president, W. b. Lewis, Chi
cago secretary and treasurer, y. G.. Wines,

HOLMAN MAKES SOME REMARKS.

He Says the Building Was Never Reported
to Congress rs Unsafe.
As Representative Holman has come in
for whole lot of criticism and abuse by
"the press and the mob" as Colonel Aims
worth puts it, what he has to say about the
policy of the house will be of interest and
also fair play First he said that congress
had in the past and would in the future
deal literally with the matter of safe pub
lie buildings and the preservation of hu-
man life. mo government in the world, !"
said Holman, ''holds life in such regard as
ours. Had congress known this building
was unsafe do you imagine it would have
been permitted to stand as 1t was? Con-
gressmen are not building experts, and II
an official report had been made congress
would have had something to go on.4 u
There Is one thing in this public build
ing question that the press does- notcon-
slider, and that is the overcrowding Of
rooms occupied by clerks and the large
amount Of space given to higher officials.
other public buildings are numbered mp
with stun little better than trash. Twelve

SPANS Big DISASTER.
II Sends a Thrill of Horror
Throughout the Land.
DUE TO DEADLY DYNAMITE.

IL was hidden In tho ships Hoid-Hun-
dreds of People Kiiled--The Port OF
sansander Destroyod-Details of the
Calamity Meager.
MADRID, Nov. 0.-The terrible dis.
aster which has wrecked the shore of
Santander, destroyed the port of San.
tander and caused the loss of hundreds
Of lives has sent thrill of horror
throughout Spain.
Telegraphic communication with the
death and fre-stricken locality has not
yet been reopened, and the particulars
concerning the horrible calamity reach
here in driblets and by roundabout
way, such as dispatches from outlying
towns.
II seems that the steamer Cabo
Machicaco, from Balboa, while dis
charging her cargo, accidently caught
hre in her coal bunkers. Twenty cases
Of dynamite were declared ON the
steamers manifest, but 460 cases were
hidden as contraband goods under a
pile Of iron in her hold. The local fire
department, assisted by the mayor, gov
ernor of the province and many citi-
zens came to the rescue of the crew,
fighting the flames. Thousands of
people gathered on the quay and
thronged the adjacent street to watch
the battle on the fire. The 20 cases of
dynamite indicated in the manifest was
removed aud thus the fire fighters
thought they had removed all elements
of danger.
A tug crowded with firemen was thon
roped to the burning ship, and she was
towed out into the bay to prevent the
rickety buildings along the quay from
becoming ignited Suddenly, as the
vessel and tug drifted, the boilers LET

sion. A black smoke hung for a second
over the burning wreck, and then came
awful death to hundreds of the specta-
tors from the wreck of buildings, flying
iron and missiles from the ship. The
men on the tug were lost forever.
Then from the flying fire brands OF
the wreck there burst out fires all over
the city, destroying building after build
ing, the people being too terrified tC
fight the flames. For hours people
rushed backward ard forwardy insane
from fright. stumbling over the dead
bodies which lay blackened beyond
recognition in the streets. Finally
word was sent to neighboring cities and
aid secured.
One man was killed over q mile away
and the anchor was blown 800 yards.
A complete estimate of the number
killed cannot be obtained, although
there were hundreds who lost their
liyes.

CHICAGO. Eov. 6.-The busiest place
at the fair grounds these days is the
California building NJ. H. De Young,
director general Of the California mid
winter fair, and other officials of that
enterprise make the California building
their headquarters and from morning
until night their is throng of callers
there. Most of them are exhibitors
who will move their stock from here
direct to San Francisco. The Cali
fornia managers have profited by the
experience of the Worlds Columbian
exposition officials. They have secured
half rates from all railroads for eX-
hibitors' freight and have got the rail
roads to agree to reduced fares for pas
sengers from operating of the opposl-
ton.
Another wise move on the part of the
mid winter people, in the judgment OF
exposition authorities, is the charging
for space occupied by exhibitors. Had
the Worlds fair done this, which has
been customary at great expense, Sl0,-
900, 900 or $50, 100000 would have been
added to its receipts. California is
taking a choice of Worlds fair eX-
hibits. So great is the demand for
space that it has twice had its territory
enlarged by the commissioners in
charge of Golden Gate park and now
the managers are obliged to ask for
another extension of the territory. The
scheme of the mid winters managers
is to carry to California the best Of ex.
hibits attracted great attention and
won high awards here.
The national commission is still in
session at the Worlds fair-at least a
fragment of it is-but an adjournment
will soon have to be taken, as the ap
preparation for its needs is becoming ex,
hausted. Commissioner Cochran OF
Texas called up his resolution to appro'
pirate $12, 900 for the meeting of the ma,
tional commission, which must take
place in April to pass upon reports and
awards. This resolution did not pass,
as the employees, who must be retained
| for months yet, would be the ones whc
would have TO hustle for their salaries
| and not the commissioners.
