Digging Out the Remains of the Delsvan
 House Fire Victl s From the Ruins.
 ALBANY, Jan. Tho charred and blackened remains Uf eight victims of the Delevan House fire have been found in the ruins. Of the few remnants of bodies in the shape of fleshless bones and man. gled trunks there were no possible means of Identification were it not for the almost extraordinary fact that near the almost totally consumed fragments of human be. ings were found remnants of clothing that in two cases led to recognition. Those so identified weFo the fragments of Simon Myers, the coffee man, identified by his vest, which lay near the iron cot on which he had slept, and Agnes Wilson.
 The remains of tho eight bodies discov- cred arc yet in the ruins Two of them were discovered together on a mattress at the northwest corner of the excavation. but the upper parts of them were pinned under some heavy iron beams on which rested pile of bricks 30 feet high. All tho bodies were discovered within Q space of about 12 feet square in tho cellar imme- diately under the hotel kitchen and bake house and at the point where the rear staircase from tho servants attic tormi- mated. This staircase. wide enough for one person to barely pass another, was evidently as bad tluo as the elevator shaft, and escape was out of the question for either those in the attic or those In the cellar. and the fact that nearly all of the bodies have bern found on beds leads to the supposition that they were suffocated

DAVID MARTINS COUP.
The Philadelphia Republican Wand Ma
 chine Goes to Pieces.

PHILADELPHIA. Jan. 9.-The Republic m ward combine of this city, which has controlled the politics of it's party for many years, went to pieces as a conse- quence of the mayoralty contest. the nom- mating convention of which will be held this morning. Throughout the campaign it has been popularly supposed that, with the exception of Senator Porter, the com bine was in favor of Senator Boies Pen rose for the office Late last night, how ever rumors became current that Penrose had been dumped by the leaders. and this proved to be ture
 At the eleventh hour a meeting of the combine was held at the Union Republic an club Senator Porter occupied the chair, and the main spokesman was David Martin. What occurred between the lead CTS before the meeting could not be learn ed, but it was evident that the breach was O wide one. Magistrate Durham, an in- fiuential member of the combine, is the leader of the Penrose forces, and he tried to bring up the question, but Mir Martin refused to talk or listen to anything con- corning Senator Penrose's candidacy. Leader Martins attitude has all along been uncertain. but last night he boldly expressed his opposition to Penrose and declared himself for Charles F. Warwick. now city solicitor. who has been somewhat n dark horse in this, ono of the bitterest fights known to municipal politics.
 Martin brought matters to a crisis when. addressing Chairman Porter. he said he believed the time had come when the usefulness of the combine as q politi- cal organization was at an end. The mem bers were divided seriously and irretrieva- bly, on the question of nominating a may or and in his opinion nothing could bring them together again. Then he emphatic ally denied the rumor circulated that he would retire as political leader, and his words were generally construed by those present to mean that he intends to be the sole and only leader of his party. He con- cluded with the suggestion that the meet ing adjourn sine die, and after the mur- mur had subsided the motion was carried unanimously.
 Senator Porter appeared to be much agitated. He refused to be interviewed and immediately went home. MT. Martin said he could not tell what power would succeed the combine in control, but added that there was no question of his leader ship continuing.
 Magistrate Durham will today summon together the anti Martin and antiring rule Republicans and will probably map out plans for q campaign with Quay, Gen eral Bingham, John Russell Young, Charles Emory Smith. Senator c. Wesley Thomas and other influential Republic ans. The excitement in political circles today is intense. the fall of the long all powerful combine being on every tongue

stones speech.
 LONno\. Jan. 9-The correspondent of The standard at Constantinople telc- graphs that he hears that the sultan has formally requested Great Britain to dis avow the speech recently made by Mir Gladstone 10 the Anglo Armenian depu- tation that visited him at Hawarden
 The correspondent adds that the Eng fish, French and Russian governments have asked the porte to suspend the gov ernor of Bitlis. who is held to havo been mainly responsible for the Sassoun massa- ere, until the commission of inquiry shall have concluded its labors He further says that there is great discontent among MusSulmans, who believe that the porte s present policy will lead to the loss of the Armenian provinces
 Constantinople is full of rumors of dis turbances in the provinces. but it Is i'm possible to confirm them, as communica- tion with the interior is cut of. It ap- pears that nearly the whole Armenian population is imprisoned. Eyewitnesses of the outrages have already been removed from the district to other parts of the em. pire by the willy authorities.

ROUTED BY VILLAGE MARsHALs.

squad of Fifteen BIuecoats From Fort Sheridan Handled the Preseryers of the Peace of HightOwn Rather Roughly. and the Latter Replied With Bullets.
 CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-An exciting encoun- ter between 15 soldiers stationed at Fort Sheridan and two village marshals occur red at Highwood As a result of the fra cas three of the soldiers are confined in the hospital, and the village marshals are nursing their wounds. The injured are:
 Private Edward McMahon. Company c, Fifteenth infantry, shot in the neck and right side; seriously injured.
 Private Edward White, Company G, Fifteenth infantry, severe scalp wounds
 Private John Houch, Company G, Eff teenth infantry, shot through right arm.
 Charles Gordon, village marshal, severe scalp wounds and cut on forehead.
 Marshal Cauley, deputy village marshal, cut on face and scalp wounds.
 Tho shooting occurred on the main that the shooting, which was done by Marshal Gordon. was unprovoked.
 On the other hand, Marshals Gordon and Cauley claim to have acted in self de- fense and also say that the soldiers were under the influence of liquor.
 A Sergeant In the Rumpus.
 Sergeant Thomas O'Rourke, who is we'll known as the best marksman in the army, was identified as one of the men who took part in the affair and is now un- der arrest at Waukegan. The men, 1t Is said, had been drinking and started to walk from the town to the fort. Accord ing to Marshal Gordon's version, they were boisterous and filled the air with un- earthly yells.
 Gordon and Cauley started after them to restore quiet if possible. Private Mo Mahon, it is said, struck Marshal Gordon knocking him down. Then, Gordon claims. several of them jumped on him and kicked him in the head. He drew his revolver and fired three shots, all of which took effect.
 When the shots were fired, the men scat tered and ran in all directions Two of the soldiers carried MoMahon, who was badly injured. In the meantime several of them had attacked Cauley, and after a lively scrlmmage they were driven away at the point of his revolver. During the fray White was struck on the head with the butt end of Cauley's revolver
 Tho soldiers declare that they were at tackled without provocation, and that the firing was without cause.
