Detroit. Mich, Nov. THE work of
rescuing bodies OF the victims of We'd
nesday's explosion In the Journal build
ing went steadily on all day and to-
night. The list of missing decreases
about correspondingly with the num-
Der of dead bodies taken out. over
thirty dead bodies have now been re-
covered and Identified, but the number
changes frequently on account of new
and CHASTITY discoveries which come to
light in the ruins. The number OF kill
ed will approximate forty. Today's de-
that negligent care of the boilers was
the cause of the catastrophe. Official
Inspectors and competent engineers
examined portions OF the wrecked bolt
ers today and pronounced the cause
as low water causing a super heated
condition of the fiues, which was eX-
ploded by the injection of cold water.
The engineers action is strongly
condemned. The engineer of the Free
Press building states he had previously
warned Thompson against leaving his
boilers without having an assistant
to watch them. Some Of the occupants
OF the building give similar testimony.
Thompson insists that he saw both
boilers ten minutes before the explos-
Ion, and that they contained plenty
of water and sixty-flve pounds pressure
OF steam.
The portion Of the building stIll
standing was officially examined today
ana found to be out OF plumb, wrench
ed by the shock and otherwise defec-
tive. II VIII doubtless be condemned.

The Leader says: The overwhelming

l.ys el,stion is triumph for sound
money In Ohio both parties were in
substantial agreement on finances, and
outsil. OF local questions the WILSON,
Brice tariff bill was the chief issue of
the campaign. In Kentucky both par
lies in convention endorsed sound
money. on the stump Bradley was
even more outspoken for a gold stand
ard than his party platform, Whlle
Hardin openly repudiated the utter
ances OF his party and proclaimed the
gospel OF free and unlimited coinage OF
silver in every speech.
Mckinley and Bradley stand for pro-
teetlon and sound money, the issues
upon which neXt years campaign must
be won.
Mckinley and Bradley as candidates
for president and vice president would
obterate Mason and DlNon's line from
the present map and mark the COM
pleie reconciliation Of the North and
South, and thus nationalize our politics.

Philadelphia. Nov. THE Interna..

the Observation-Disclosures line steam
ship OLDHAM, which was lowed into
broken by the Pennland, for 500 900.
II is believed by shipping men that
the claim is an unusually meritorious
one. as the vessel would surely have

had she not fallen in with the, Penn
land. A strange coincidence Is the fact
that just six years ago the fennlanu

conditions by one OF the steamships OF
