fering at intervals with attacks which
physicians pronounced as dyspepsia but
he attended his duties unremitungiy.

extremely uncertain. 1t has been said
that Gamble. Henry, Coden and Cozier
would vote for Hepburn, while the pref
erences of several others are for him.
Hepburn has not arrived here yet.
His coming may rally some of these
votes to his support and give him the
balance of power. In that event no one
could tell what the outcome would be.
II is also possible that caucus will not
be held. Although Sweet and Shoup
both favor a caucus earnestly, each has
some supporters who may refuse to go
into caucus. There are some Shoup
supporters who would rather take the
chances of a free-for-all in joint conven-
ton, and there are the dissatisfied
Sweet men who would prefer to cast
their votes for Sweet. if at all, in joint
convention in the event they could not
elect him.

ENGuLrED AN ENTIRE TRAIN.
Terrific Snowslide Few Niles From
LOckhavcn, Pa.

Reno. Pa. Jan. 6-Snowslides covering
five miles of track a few miles west of
LoclShaven on the Philadelphia & Reading
railroad, blocked traffic this morning
While the freight train, east bound, was
running along the base of the snow-capped
Alleghanies, with the ice-bound Susque-
hanna below, IT was suddenly submerged
by an avalancheof dry, sleety snow. The
train was covered almost its entire length.
Crews from the east and west to the num-
Der of several hundred men came TO the
rescue and worked the train through the
snowslide for distance of i've miles.
Meanwhile, the Erie mail train, with n
large number of passengers, lay at this
place eight hours. The mail train ran the
gauntlet and scraped the white wall,
which pressed threateningly against each
side, almost crushing the train. The train
was in imminent danger of being engulfed
or hurled down the bank In to the river
Hundreds of men are standing ready 10
rush to assist engulfed trains tonight, as
danger is great.

FIRE IN TORONTO.
Globe Building and a Dry Goods
Hcu e in Ashes.
AN ACCIDENT TO FlREMEN
I'Jnred by the Failing of IA
wall.

Toronto. Jan. GA few minutes before
o'clock this morning fire was dis
covered in the basement of the Globe
building, corner of Yonge and Ade-
laide streets. The alarm was given,
but before the first reel arrived the
flames were pouring from every window
from garnet to basement AS the wind
was blowing briskly from the south and
the fire threatened to spread. another
alarm was given and the entire fire de-
partment was soon on the spot.
Chief Ardagh and five men of the fire
brigade mounted upon a cornice running
around the first story of the office and
were breaking windows to introduce
hose when the northwest wall, from
the cornice up, FIVE stories, fell with
crash.
The men leaped into pile OF bricks
Chief Ardagh was badly wounded about
the head and had to be removed In
cab. Robert Bowar received such in
juries that he was taken to the hospital
where he subsequently died. Charles
Smedley, Francis Forsyth, Robert Eos
ter James Davidson and Harry Saun-
ders are severely injured.
The Globe building was erected at a
cost of $4,000. with a plant valued at
100000. The Toronto Lithograph Com
pany, which occupied the lower floor in
the building, loses all its machinery.
From the Globe building the flames
crossed the street to Harry Robb's res
taurant and that building was Quilted.
The loss on the building was $4,000 and
on the stock $4,000.
The wind then changed, blowing from
the east, and McKinnon & Co.'S new
wholesale dry goods store was soon
wiped out of existence, entailing a loss
of $4,000 ON the building and 500, 900
on the stock. The World and News
have each offered their services to the
Globe to enable them TO produce their
editions as usual.

PROTEST AGAINST LEo's EDrcr.
TWO Thousand People a Tacoma List
ened to Speeches.


Tacoma, Wash. Jan. "a meeting, at
tended by fully 1000 persons, was held in
the Harmonic hall this afternoon under
the auspices of the A. p. A. The Knights
of Pythias, odd Fellows and Sons of Tenn
perance protested against the recent edict
of the pope placing the latter three secret
societies under the ban of the Catholic
church. c. W. Van Fossen. president of
the state A. p. A, made speech of
half hours duration, reviewing papal in
reference in the affairs of European
powers and the United States.
c.. W. Gallagher Congregational min
lister, spoke in behalf of the Odd Fellows
He declared this order was thoroughly
Christian and eminently humane in teach
ing and practice. He briefly reviewed its
history and enumerated it's charitable
deeds. Why the pope did not want Cath
olics TO be odd Fellows was because the
Catholic church, to exist. must confine the
mental visions of its members to the mar
row channels of ignorance, superstition
and fear. To go into Odd Fellowship
broadened man s mind. and therefore I'M
fitted him to be a Catholic.
Rev d. F. Rattery, Congregational
minister spoke briefly a Son of Tenn
perance 1t stood the pope well in hand
TO place temperance under the ban, he de-
| clared. since four-ffths of the keepers of
dives saloons and gambling joints are
| members of the Catholic church. He was
wiling for any man to hold whatever re-
| ligious views he pleased. but the pope and
| the Catholic church must keep their hands
| on American institutions.
| State Senator Ed Taylor, of the knights
| of Pythias, created merriment by charg-
| ing Van Fossen and Representative Fred
| Taylor. president and secretary of the
| state A. p. A., with bribing the pope to
| issue his edict, so to drive all the Cath
| olics from other societies into the A. p. A.
| the only society left not under the ban
! The only Catholics who upheld the edic'
| were ignorant and foreign born.

San Francisco, Jan. 6 per steamship
China from the ORIENT. -Prosperous
citizens of Port Arthur and Kin Chow
on returning to their homes. from
which they fed during the last days of
the Chinese military occupation, have
posted signs giving their names and ad-
dresses as residents in the new domin-
ion of Japan"
Since the beginning of December the
course of the campaign in central Man
churia has been completely changed.
For several weeks it has been reported
that the advance columns of the first
army. which at one time had sent scout
ing parties within 40 miles of Moukden
on the north and New Chwang on the
southwest, were drawing back toward
General Yamagata's headquarters at
Kiu Lin. These reports are now con-
firmed and are explained by the appear
ance on the scene of new and unex-
pected Chinese force. The corps OF the
army which China permanently main
tains in the Amoor region, on the border
of Siberia, was detached about the mid
die or November and sent by slow
marches in the direction of Mnukden
with orders to relieve that city by at

be on the way thitner, The new body

bered 5000 and was composed wholly

and a considerable quantity Of arms
and ammunition. The Japanese loss
was two killed and four wounded This
engagement put a stop to the attempt
of the Tartars cooperating with the
Chinese troops at or near Moukden.
The Tartars continued to advance,
turning their attention, however, from
the original point and moving south
with the evident purpose of assailing
Fong Whang This town is one Of the
strong points occupied by the Japanese
immediately after the crossing of the
Yalu river. The Japanese. though out
numbered two to one, attacked this
force and dispersed it completely.
The Amoor corps to which the formid-
able movement for the relief of Mouk-
den was entrusted has ceased to exist
and though runaways have been traced
for 80 miles not the slightest sign of an
organized body has been found by the
Japanese pursuers. The first and sec
ond Japanese armies are without doubt
within easy communication.
The cold weather in Manchuria is in
tense. the average temperature of the
extreme northern outposts being 10 de-
grees below zero. The soldiers suffer
many discomforts and many of the la
borers have died. Fresh supplies of
thick clothing are going forward in
great quantities.
Every effort is being made by the off,
Gals in the interior of China to conceal
the truth with respect to the loss of life
at Port Arthur On a huge bulletin
board outside of the viceroy's residence
at Nang Ping was posted November 20

ment of your correspondent that Sweet
at this time has the best OF 1t. III Q
caucus were held now he would prob
ably have % votes. This counts all OF
,he north all of the southeast, TWO
votes in washington and two in can
Won and two in Owyhee. Krane o
Kootenai is openly working for SWEEP
reducing the possibility of uncertaint,
in the north 10 three votes. Golfer j
claimed TO be against Sweet. but hi
vote Is confidently counted by the Swee
men.
The situation is refiectsd in the rae
that the Sweet leaders are pushing 10
AN early caucus, While the Shoup force
talk of postponing 1t. While this is tn
situation now, the lines may break a
any time and influences are at wor
today which may bring about an earl
change.
