but Even She Fails to Change the Course
Of Events-The Next Step.
All was without avail. After him came
NJ. Spuller, whose eloquence overcame on
a former occasion Casimir- Perier's scru-
pies to accepting the position of prime
minister. All that the president would
concede to these appeals was to id ny the
publication of his intentions unfl last
night. As Dupuy end Spuller were leav-
ing the Palace of the Elysee together they
met in the corridors the presidents
mother, who is 50 years old. They begged
her to entreat her son to remain in office
and she promised that she would do her
utmost.
1t is stated that the interview between
mother and son was very affecting.
Nevertheless at y o'clock Casimir- Perier
sent short letter to Dupuy informing
him that his decision was irrcvocable. and
begging him to notify the presidents OF
the senate and chamber of deputies and
to announce TIE fact to The Journal OF
ficiel- Dupuy accepted the task thus i'm
posed upon him, and as on the occasion of
the death of Carnot finds himself again
confronted with the transmission of
powers involving difficulties of every
description, arising from the unexpected
position of affairs.
He seemed to be completely over
whelmed with the sense of his response
bilities. but speedily recovered and with
the energy, coolness and foresight that he
displayed on the occasion of the assassi-
nation Of Carnot proceeded TO take the
measures which the situation demanded.
After interviews of the prefect of the
Seine and the prefect of police with NJ.
Casimir Perier. they received from Dupuy
instructions to be followed during the
crisis.
Article VIZ of the constitution relating
to the change in the presidency provides
that in case of vacation of the Office
through death or any other cause the ma
tional assembly shall proceed forthwith
to elect president. In the interval the
council Of ministers is invested with ex-
ecutive power. The national assembly
being merely an electoral college all dis
cussion therein is prohibited.
The report of the resignation of the
president became generally known at IL
o'clock. but was universally discredited
and q general movement was made to-
wards the newspaper offices with a view
to learning the truth. Very SOON the
papers exhibited lantern transparencies
Of tho official note Even then many per-
sons refused to believe that the event was
positive FINALLY they became convinced

LEGISLATIVE ROW IN KANSAS.
Pcpulists in the Senate Overridjen by the
Presiding Ofiicer.

PopuliSts in the Senate Overritiden by the
Presiding Onicer.
ToPEKA, Jan. l6.-A sensational incl
dent took place in the Kansas senate
when that body received concurrent
resolution from the house providing that
both bodies 90 into joint session to elect
n state printer. a substitute was offered
by Dennison Pop. to the effect that no
certificate of election shall be issued to
any one unless he receive majority in
each house This takes advantage of the
ambiguous construction o; two laws, one
covered by the constitution, the other by
statute.
The substitute passed. but was over
ruled by Lieutenant Governor Troutman.
presiding officer, who declared that the
time fixed by the constitution for clecting
state printer had arrived and he would
adjourn TIE senate aud asked the sena-
tors and officers to proceed To the house
for the purpose set forth. All the Repub-
Hcans, the two Democrats and one Popu-
list senator (True) went to the joint scs-
sion, wherein Major J. h. Hudson, editor
of the Tokepa Capitol, was declared chosen
state printer by the following vote: Hud-
son, l04; Snow (Pop)- s6.
The house being Republican and the
senate Populist a majority of each house
is hardly possible for any candidate of the
parties. Meanwhile the Populist senators
remained in the senate chamber presided
over by King CPop.l, president pro tenn.
The senators remaining declared them
selves in session, Overruling President
Troutman's decision. They proceeded to
deuounce the Republicans as revolution
lists" and anarchists. and declared that no
state printer could be elected save by a
majority OF each house.

Butte, Mont, Jan. 16.-Fire oc-
Cured in the Butte Hardware COM
pany's warehouse last night, in
which giant powder was stored. The
fire department was at work on the
fire when an explosion took place,
killing a number of people. While
efforts were being made to remove
the dead and wounded, a second
explosion occurred. The entire fire
department was wiped out, including
the chief and all the horses. Three
policemen are among the killed, who
number at least as. Plate glass was
broken all over the city. and the
damage to property is enormous.
1t is impossible to get details at
present. All ambulances are rush
ing to and from the scene of the ex-
plosion. Relatives of the killed are
frantic, and the city is in consteraa-
tion.
The powder in the warehouse was
there in violation of law. 1t was the
greatest explosion in the history of
the west.
In all, three carloads of powder eX-
ploded. one of which was stored in
the Butte Hardware company's ware
house, which adjoins the Kenyon
Cornell warehouse. Large pieces of
iron were thrown several miles. Sew
eral bodies were hurled long dis
tance, and were picked up unrecog-
nizable masses of flesh.
Descriptive.
BUTTE. Mont. Jon 16.-Three en-
plosions occurred in quick succession.
The first killed three tiremen; the
second heaviest practically wiped out
the fire department, killing all but
three, and killing and wounding a
large number of citizens, and level
ing, as if shaken by an earthquake,
a large section of the city surroun-
dollars loss. The third explosion
was light and did little damage. The
dead are everywhere. and the cries
and groans of the injured and dying
Joined to make the situation alto
gether unearthly. Blood and brains
were shattered about. Here were
legs and arms ana there pieces of
flesh and entrails. Between the
Northern Pacific and the Great
Northern depots. a space of 500 feet
of ground. is literally covered with
parts of human beings and dead and
injured.
Bodies Piled Up.
One rescuing corps gathered % dead
bodies in one pile. There were eight
i'm another and two and three in
others. The rescuers pulled some
bodies out still quivering, the
remnants of human beings still
groaning. while legs and arms had
been torn off. Shapeless trunks quiv-
cred and died in the arms of the liv-
ing. The hospitals are filled and
spare rooms in the hotels taken, while
private houses are thrown open.
About fifty bodies have been re-
covered and it is feared nearly as
many more are in the ruins. No
good estimate can be made of the
number wounded. The complete
roll of the dead will probably never
be known. Fifty wounded are in
the hospitals. Thirty of them are
in a critical condition.
