THE BIG BRIDGE DISASTER.

Rescuers Unable TO ExtrIoats Bodies
from the Wreck.
LOUISVILLE, Dec. 16.-The close OF
the first days work at yesterdays bridge
disaster has not been productive Of any
results so far as the dead buried beneath
the debris are concerned. A pile'driver
and large force of men have been at
work all day, but no bodies have been
taken out. The probability is that all
those reported missing are among the
killed. Coroner Mccullough held q con-
ference with the bridge officials today
and decided to have the unclaimed dead
embalmed 60 the bodies could be held to
await directions from relatives. The
expense is borne by the Phoenix
Bridge company.
Oliver F. Moore, who was taken to
the city infrmary at Jeffersonville. ia
lying in a precarious condition and will
probably die, both arms being broken
and his spine injured. His home is
Philadelphia.
The injured at the city hospital are
improving rapidly. The most severe
case ia Edward Hildebrsnd, who has
three ribs crushed into his lungs, but
the doctors say he may recover. The
men, in spite of their intense pain. are
cheerful and eager to learn anything In
regard to the terrible catastrophe.
The record now stands 6 dead, 16
injured, IL missing. The officers OF the
bridge attribute the accident to the
wind. The less to the company 10 esti-
mated at $3.50, 900.

Crop Conditions and State of the Len
don Market.
LONDON, Dec. 16.--The weather has
been unsettled and storms, rain and
snow have swept over different parts Of
the country. Autumn sown crops are
green and flourishing.
Wheat, during the early part of the
week, was in good demand from France.
Cargoes which arrived, OF which were
nearly due, induced bidding in the
united kingdom and the rise In value was
checked and business from continental
demand subsided. Reports from France
say that the proposed increase in import
duty on wheat will not become q law.
The market 10 now quieter and firm with
light offers. Full bids were refused.
Russian and Californian were prompt at
2Ss Sd. Parcels were in moderate
demand. Red winter, December and
January, were quoted at 24s 101ad. Spot
was quiet.
Flour was rather more active and
steady. American holders were more
reserved.
There was fair business and slight de-
cline of maize; European firm, demand
limited, closing easier; American slow
and weak. Mixed American in passage
was quoted at lSs lid. Spot steady.
Barley was firm and dearer and after
wards easy at close.

SILVER CONFERENCE.

Resolutions Adopted and the Meeting
Adjourned Sine Die.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The silver con-
ference was resumed tonight, and after
several hours session completed it ,
work. The greater part of the session
was devoted to consideration of the re-
port of the resolutions committee, and
after many changes, involving consider
erable discussion, the resolutions were
adopted amid much enthusiasm. To-
morrow the conference will issue q
statement OF its objects and aims. The
adjournment sine die tonight was con-
trsry to general expectation.
The plan most likely to be adopted as
to the next congressional election is one
which contemplates the securing of
pledges or direct expressions from every
candidate to congress. No distinctions
between candidates will be made on &C.
count of adherence to the old parties.
The full silver strength of district will
be thrown to the man who gives the
strongest assurance of allegiance to the
silver cause. In case all the candidates
in the district are opposed to silver, an
independent silver candidate will prob
ably be nominated. AS yet, however,
no final conclusion has been reached.

New YoRK, Dec. 16.-The closing
game in the billiard tournament was
made memorable by Schaefer's wonder-
full performance, SURPRISING all previous
records of runs and averages at balk-
line games, besides administering to
Ives one Of the worst defeats in the his
tory of billiards. The Wizard got the
anchor nurse in the sixth inning, and
never let 60 until he had scored the un-
precsdented run Of 566, beating Ives
recent Chicago run of 456 by upwards OF
hundred. The excitement and en-
thusiasm of the great audience was ex-
trsordinary. The only cool per-
son in the crowd was Schsefer.
whose marvellous precision and
delicacy never varied under the strong
tension. Ives watched the game with
breathless interest, and when the last
count was made that won the game and
the first prize in the tournament, he
bolted for the snte.room and was seen
no more. Schaefer's average was ex-
actly 100, beating Vignaux's 70, made
in Chicago eight years ago, and never
equaled until tonight. Ives total score
was 30, and the average 10. Score
Schaefer, IL, IA, 8, 0, 0, 566; total. 600.

Serious Trouble Expected on the Bho-

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Dec. 16.--Trouble is
expected on the 6hoshone reservation
rom the efforts made by Captain Ray,
military agent. to suppress immortality
and polygamy among the Indians. A
few weeks ago he had q number OF In
dian maidens. who insisted on visiting
the post on pay day, arrested and
sent back to their lodges with their
heads shaved. This is considered
a great indignity among the Shosbones
and Arapahoes, and they were in q bad
humor when, last week, the captain
called number OF chiefs before him
and ordered them to dispense with all
their wives but one. Plenty Bear, the
war chief of the Arapahoes, who has
two squaws with whom he has lived for
many years. said he was too old to
change his habits, and would die
before he would obey such orders.
Raieing Q Winchester he said: 1--WE will
both die together" Ray ordered him
arrested, but the Indian police refused
to obey, and Plenty Bear left the meet
ing very angry. Washakie, chief of the
Shoshones, 10 also polygamist, and his
arrest has been ordered. He 10 guarded

will not allow his arrest. If attempted,

THE HAWAIIAN SITUATION.
Ex-Minister Stevens Lectures Hi

Minister Stevens Lectures on His
Favorite Topic.
BosToN, Dec. l6.-Ex-Minister John
l.. Stevens spoke on the Hawaiian situ-
tion this afternoon before the Middlessx
club, a republican organization. For
more than 80 years, he said. all the great
statesmen had seen the great CONNER
cial value of the Hawaiian islands to the
United States. Only pigmies among our
public men asserted counter PROPOSE
ton. Many now living will see the day
when the Northern Pacific waters will
be ploughed by nation of 250,0
Americans. The Islands are at the
cross roads and constitute an
indispensable coaling and feeding station,
which can be made impregnable. The
influence of the reign of Kalaksui and
Liliuokalani was corrupt and demoral-
izing. The restoration of the queen
would throw the natives again under
the political control of men who have
been curse to the islands the last 25
yesre. 1t would be public crime.
Blount pretended to accomplish in a
few days all that Stevens took years to
investigate. and everyone acquainted
with the people of the islands sees how
one-sided Blount's report is.
Stevens closed with the hope that the
day was not far distant when American
patriotism would be strong enough in
Washington to prevent party politics
from crippling our foreign policy, when
we shall show united front to foreign
rivals and stand grand and invincible
before the entire world.
His speech was received with great
enthusiaam.

lint. Being asked for hi. views on the

mint. Being asked for his views on the
Hawaiian situation, he said:
II found the conditions st the islands
much az l expected. My previous good
opinion of the provisional gov.
ernment was based upon my knowl-
edge OF the men composing it. /
found nothing during my visit to change
my judgment in that respect. There is
a strong fighting sentiment in Homo
lulu, and there will unquestionably be
fighting should there be any forcible at
tempt to restore the monarchy. Among
the Royalists there appear to be many
more who want Princess Kaiulani put
on the throne than OF those who want
the ex-queen restored. The supporters
of the provisional government denounce
Blount's report ss false, and the Royal
lists declare it is true. The opinion you
get depends upon whom you talk with"
