was battered almost beyond recognition. His

force in extricating the body from it's

of the bones in the body were broken. 1t bent

A grimy fireman laid soiled towel over the

A Builders Comment.
Mr.. William F. Funk Of the firm Of Funk &
Funk. contractors and builders, was one Of the
first on the scene. To a STAB reporter he said
that he thought the wreck was caused
BY the faulty manner in which
the work Of UNDERMINING seemed to have
been conducted. He said he had noticed 1t
several times during the last few days and no
later than this morning had looked at it 1t did
not seem to him that the work was being
carried on In . safe manner.
Notoriously Unsafe.
Mr.. Baier said the building has been
notoriously unsafe for long time and he
stated that 1t had three times been condemned.
He said the rear wall Of the building has been
bowed out for q long time
WHEN THE BUILDING COLLAPSED.
Graphic Story Told by One Of the. Clerks
Who Escaped.
One Of the most striking accounts Of tho
disaster i given BY Mr.. J. T. Exnicios, who
was on the second door and stood on the very
edge Of the horrible crater that 90 suddenly
opened in the center Of the building
He heard noise, he said. as II something
heavy had fallen on the floor above. He
glanced up and was almost petrifed to see the
entire floor coming down-slow and wavering
at first and then more swift in fits progress
bearing to death its load Of humanity.
The floor started from the front wall. and
was at an angle as It went down. When he
first saw it the angle was not sharp enough to
disturb the desks, and the startled occupants in
some cases sat on their chairs not knowing
what had happened.
As the hooi came on in its awful progress he
| saw 1t bend and wave and then 1t crashed down
on the occupants Of the floor beneath. He
called to the clerks about him to run to the
rear, and many was saved by their promptness

Mr.. PULLMAN's STATEMENT.
The latter appeared at the scene shortly sitter
the accident and said to STAB reporter that he
could not explain why the floors should have
caved in. "The work in the cellar" he said,
twas about completed, and II was only
yesterday that 1 was looking at It /
was congratulating myself that the work was
almost At An end and that the danger was
passed. The crash commenced on the third
floor. so that the underpining could not have
been the cause. The work was most carefully
done, and only few bricks were taken out 1t Q
time.
COL AINswoRrH CANNOT EXPLAIN n.
From Col. Ainsworth, chief Of the record
and pension division, it was learned that thsrs
was no storage on the Aocrs and that the only
weight was the desks and the clerks employed
there. He said that the undsrpinning was not
being done in order to strengthen the build
in any way insecure. He was unable 10 sus-
gest any reason for the disaster.
CHIEF PARRIs' sraaEsrroxs
Chief Paris Of the fire department had not
had an opportunity to make even superficial
examination Of the building, and said that from

PURGING THE PENSION ROLL.

There has been much discussion over
the action of Secretary HoKE SMITH IN
suspending the payment of pensions TO
many survivors of the War OF the Re
bellion whose right to such pensions
was not established by prima facie evil
dence; and the secretary aud his Subor-
olnate, Pension Commissioner LoCH-
Rem, have been subjected to much un-
warranted condemnation. Perhaps the
action of the department. was too hasty.
Ii so, the fault has been remedied by
supplemental order restoring the pen
sioners whose claims are disputed until
Such time as their cases hays been in.
vestigated and their right to pensions
determined.
Tnls act on the part of the secretary
OF the interior removes all just cause for
criticism 1t Is the desire Of@very man,
he he Democrat or Republican, Popuiist
or Prohlbitionist, veteran pensoner or
one who draws no pension, to make of
the pension roll roll of honor. Moth
ing will so soon bring the great body of
pensioners into disrepute as the IndiS-
crimlnate granting of the government
largeSS to unworthy men. 1t is beyond
dispute that there are thousands OF men
now drawing pensions who never took
part in the war in such capacity as
would entitle them to bear the name OF
soldiers. Still others are drawing pen
sionS who are as sound bodily and
mentally as when they entered the
service, while another large body
are enjoying the bounty of the govern
ment because of disabilities not received
III the service, but which have arisen
since the close OF hostilities, and which,
in many cases, are the result OF their own
Ignorance or vices. Such pensioners
bring disgrace upon the mea who haz-
arded their lives and lost limbs or health
in defense of their country. They are
neither legally nor morally entitled to

THE LORDS ARE MAD.

''WhoHl the gods would destroy they
first make mad" There was inspiration
In these words. uttered by heather
philosopher more than two thousand
years ago The rejection yesterday by
the British house of lords of Mr.. GLAD
STONES bill providing home rule for
Ireland was an act Of political suicide.
1t Is the beginning of the end--and the
end is not far distant-when the august
body OF peers that now forms part of
the legislative power OF Great Britain
shall be no more.
Seldom in late years have the peers
attempted to thwart the purposes of the
commons. Since the repeal of the corn
laws they have been in wholesome
dread of what by courtesy is called the
lower house of parliament. For time
they opposed church disestablishment
in Ireland, but they we're forced to sue
cumb to the same imperious will that
now dominates the nations chosen rep

caSlon Mr.. GLADSTONE spoke i'll no UNI

tary house that the country had
decided upon course and their
duty was piain-it was but to
obey. The present crisis is of far
more consequence than any question OF
paving tittes to an alien church. Ii
concerns the right to that degree of
self-government that is allowed to

the colonies. 1t was reasonable; it was
Just; it was polite. This has been de-

There is little doubt as to what Mr..
GLADSTONE will attempt. If he were
younger by a score of years it would be

house of peers. And ne would succeed,
for the country is ripe for such step.

THE PLEA OF PROTECTION.

party"
No section of the Democratic plat
form was more widely discussed during
the campaign than this. 1t was the
great issue of the hour-almoSt the only
issue. The inquiries of the tariff formed
the theme of every Democratic orator;
defense OF the system called for the
most adroit apologies that the ingenuity
of the Republicans could devise. The
people listened to both the accusers and
defenders of the system, and they de-
cided by majority unprecedented IN
our history that protection must cease :;
that no class of our people should have
an advantage over another; that the
labor of the mechanic, the farmer and
the artisan should not be diSsipated in
order that the profits of the wealthy
manufacturer and importer might be in
creased.
The present congress has recognized
the necessity for tariff revision by APP
pointing special committees to inveSti-
gate the operations of the MCKINLEY
act in all branches of industry. These
committees are now at work, and it is
probable that when congress shall as
semble in regular session sufficient in
formation will be at hand to permit of
such revision of the tariff as shall bring
relief to the working millions of the ma
ton, and thus redeem the pledges made
by the Democratic party to the people.
