SEARCHING FOR MORE HANDS
There VIII be About 10000 Men Out on Strike in

IINriNNATi March a. There are
several strangers in Cincinnati who
have, for the past few days, been adj

The hands advertised for are wanted
for Chicago and the intimation is that
the reported peaceful outcome of the
employees dispute there is not authentic
and is, in fact, used as "a blind to the
real situation.

here for the purpose of gathering men
to be used in an emergency is Emory

Rise From the Scene of the blackened Ruins-Five
Persons Known to Have Persisted in the Terri
bic ConaagratiOn-P Fatal Box No. 3d.

BosToN. March IA strange coin
cidence IN connection with the
terrible confiagration of Friday is
that the three great fires in Bos-
tons history-those of 1872. 1889 and
1s9S-were all rung from the same box
SO.
The estimate of loss-s4, 500, 000-re-
mains unchanged. OF this "a little over
$1,000, 000 is on buildings, and the re-
mainder on stock.
Five persons are believed to have per-
ished, three are known to have met
death, while Harry Turner. aged is,
and Lewis Buck, aged 10, employees OF
the Jacquith Rubber Co., are missing
They were. 10 work on the fifth floor OF
the building, and their bodies are
doubtless in the ruins.
Over a score are badly injured and
more deaths are certain to result
All night long there were little knots
of sight-seers grouped at intervals all
along the circuit of the ruins. The
"booml boomr' of the engines, as they
kept hammering away, made talk diff
cult The inside of the burned build
ings was lurid with yellow flames, dull,
through the mist of smoke and steam
and clouds of spray. Through it the
broken walls doomed up, black and ter
rible. Here and there was only a cor
ner standing, two or three feet left on
each side, and there piece OF side wall
and foot or two left towering up by
some strange freak of the fire.
Every street in the heart of the fire
district is covered with heap of the
widest mass of destruction. The de-
bris of walls that had fallen all over
the street covered it with jagged heaps
of brick.
There We're ridged, burnt and torn
pieces of sheet-iron in quantities strewn
about. There were tangles of fallen
wires it made one SILVER to touch. All
night, after the fire had been well I'M
der control, there was little effort made
to come to close quarters or to explore
the ruins for bodies.
1t was too dangerous and too uncer-
tain in the dark.
Also the work of the department
through the long night watches was al
most wholly confined to pouring on
water from a vantage ground of securi-
ty and keeping vig!lant watch on the
lair of the foe.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., March l4.-Presi-
dent Cleveland's failure to send any
nominations to the senate Monday was
due wholly to the fact that the commit
tees are not yet reorganized. The pres
ident does not intend to make any more
nominations till the committees are in
the hands of the democrats, as he does
not want a republican chairman to re-
port democratic nominations.
1t is the intention of the caucus COM
mittees to report both the majority and
minority committees to the general
caucuses tomorrow so that the make
up of the committees may be ratified
and reported to the open Senate and
after formal adoption become record
on Wednesday, when lot of nomina-
tions are expected to be sent in.
The senate Monday discussed for
nearly an hour Mr.. ianderson's resolu-
ton proposing to limit its action to
business not requiring the cooperation
of the house, but did not succeed in
coming to any decisisn on the subject,
leaving the question to go over till
Wednesday next to which time the SEN
ate adjourned
The galleries were we'll filled with
spectators expecting another big batch
of nominations from the president.
