BOILERS BLOW UP.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. Cat about 8
O'Clock this morning the boilers in the
Journal building, corner of Larned and
cShelby streets, exploded with terrific
[orce. a portion Of the building. about
LOrty feet wide, Immediately collapsed,
eurylng scores Of people IL the ruins. y
Few moments later the ruins broke out
~ names, and the great clouds of sti-
nlng smoke seriously impeded the fire
men In their work of rescue.
In the third story was the Habbin
Electrotype foundry IN which there were
some half dozen men. In the top story
was the Journals stereotyping depart-
ment where four or five men were busy.
AS near as can be learned there were
twenty-five to thirty at work in the
building, exclusive of those who may
have been injured while passing on the
street. Three men and one woman
were carried into the News office in a
helpless condition within three minutes
after the terrible explosion. Cries of
others could be heard in the ruins, but
the confusion was too great to secure de-
tails.
The portion Of the building directly
above the boilers OH the first floor was
occupied by the Journals mailing depart
ment. About five men and boys were
there at work. In the second story was
George MHler's book bindery, in which
a couple of men and about a score of
girls were employed. Ali of these people,
men, boys and girls, were precipitated
into the horrible chaos of ruins and es-
Gaping steam.
Detroit, Mich, Nov. 7.-Thirty-fve
bodies have already been taken from the
ruins of the Journal building and the
search still goes on. The death list as it
stands at present follows:

There are yet twenty missing, swelling
the probable list of dead to forty or
forty-fve. Besides these, nineteen per-
sons were more or less seriously injured,
two of them fatally.
The cause of the disaster has been
definitely ascertained as a boiler ex-
plosion, but what caused the explosion
is still a mystery.

EXTENDS CIVIL SERVICE.
President Approves of a New Rule
that will Protect Many
Postal Employees.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 8.-The
President today approved an amendment
to the civil-seryice rules which will result
IN bringing many postmasters and their
employees within the classified service.
The addition is as follows:
And whenever by order of the post
maSter-genera any pOstoffice shall be
consolidated with and made a part of an
other postoffice where free delivery is es-
tablished, all the employees of the office
thus consolidated whose names appear
on the roll of said Office approved by the
postofhce department, and including the
postmaster thereof, shall from the date
of said order be employees of said free
delivery office and the person holding on
the date of said order the position of
postmaster at the Office thus consolidated
with said free delivery Office may be as
signed to any position therein and given
any appropriate designation under the
classification act which the postmaster
general may direct"
1t is the intention of the postofice de-
partment to consolidate many Offices
throughout the country. This consolida-
ton will not necessarily do away with
the Office, but will establish them as sta
lions from some central point. The post
Office department intends to make expert
ments in this direction and if they prove
satisfactory the system will be largely
extended. 1t is probable that presiden-
tial offices as well as fourth-class Offices
will be included in the consultations.
The order does not mean, however. that
when any office is consolidated with an
other that it will be served as a free de-
livery office or station. 1t will receive
and distribute it's mail as at present.
The postmaster may become a clerk or a
chief of the station or he may be dis
charged and some other person appoint
ed, but as soon as he becomes the clerk
in the station he is included in the classi-
fed service and protected by it.
The civil-service commissioners saw
that if the new plan works as well as an
~ticipated by them and the postmaster
general that it will result in placing a
large number of postoffices under the civ
il-Seryice rules.

MISSOULA CREW SAFE.
The Vessel Foupdered Off Caribou
ISland-CreW Took to
the Boats.

Sault Ste. Marie, Mich, Nov. 9.-The
captain and four Of the crew of the long
missing steamer Missoula arrived here
in a yawl boat at 1870 o'clock last night.
The Missoula broke down and foun-
dered fifteen miles northwest Of Caribou
island. The crew are all safe, and were
~windbound so they could not reach here
before. They had a terrible experience
ON the lake.
The Missoula %foundered last Saturday
night on LAX Superior after drifting
about in a dismal condition for two days.
The crew tool to the lifeboats and SAVED
themselves, finally landing on the north
shore of the lake. Capt. William Will
Jams and the four men reached here in
a small sail boat. The tug Booth will
leave to bring the rest of the crew to
this mort.

TIGER IS LONESO ME.
Republican Gains in the State Offset
GOtham's ReNerses.

UOIhhAA .
New York, Nov. 7.-Tammany's vic
tory in this city seems rather a lonesome
phenomenon in the face of the returns
from the rest of the state. AS more
complete returns are received the more
overwhelming the Republican victory
grows. The latest figures indicate that
the Republican plurality for secretary of
state in round numbers will be 10000.
Both branches of the Legislature will
be Republican by a majority of 2 to 1.
The latest figures show that the next
state Senate will likely be made up of
thirty-fve Republicans, fourteen Demo
Gratis and one Independent. In spite OF
the fact that Tammany got the bulk of
the assemblymen i'll this city, the Repub-
lican gains in the state will apparently
give the Assembly 102 Republicans and
forty-eight Democrats. These figures
give the Republicans a majority of "a
on joint ballot.
AS a result of the elections the Repub-
leans claim New York in the next pres
are supposedly brighter than ever before.
Senate Hill is still safe for another
year, for there is no election for United
States senator till 1897. The present
state Senate, however, serves for three
years, and its members will have a hand
in the choice of two United States SEN
ators. The only hope for the Democ-
racy in this regard is in overturning
the present Republican majority in the
Assembly at the next election. That
chance, they hope, may yet enable them
to name Senate Hills successor.
Rev. DR.. Parkhurst has given some
hours of thought to the election in an en-
deayor to find a good reason for Tam
many's victory and the defeat of the
fusion ticket. He found three causes.
OF one of these he was willing to speak,
but on the others he would not dwell,
nor would he ever give IN intimatiOn
of what they were. The one referred
to was the intrusion of the excise ques-
ton. He thinks that in time the people
will recover their senses on this great
problem.
Excepting in a few counties where
scattered districts are reported, but in
each of which close estimate is made. the
semi-official returns Of this state on the
head of the ticket show: King DEM,
sol $50; Palmer (Rep), 593, 746; Pal
mer's plurality, 91,7S7.
Brooklyn Democrats Give Up.
Brooklyn, Il. Y, Nov. THE Demo
cratic campaign committee of Brooklyn
today admitted the defeat of their local
ticket and will take no steps leading to
a recount of the ballots. Whatever Mr..
Grout, the regular Democratic nominee
for mayor, or any of the other candidates
may do in this direction, will be done
by them individually and not with sane

METHODISTS GET WARM.
Acrimonious Debate in Chicago
Over Extension Society
Funds,

Chicago, ILL.,, Nov. 8.-The meeting of
the Methodist Extension society today
was enlivened by an acrimonious debate.
This was aroused by the discussion of
the plan to set aside from the $4,000
to be asked from the conference $4,000
for a contingent fund, $4,000 for emer-
gency fund and $24 900 for Office ex-
penses, this money to be used at the
discretion of the board at Philadelphia.
DR.. Neeley of Philadelphia wanted the
matter resubmitted to the committee.
The reverend doctor in an imprisoned
name contended that the proposed &C
ton would be neither proper nor legal.
AS soon as he had concluded several
delegates strove for the floor to answer
his objection. Bishop Foster finally Sc
cured it and made a reply of some length
during which he characterized DR.. Neel-
ey's speech as a hasty one and unwar-
ranted in view of the fact that the doctor
was not present yesterday when the mat
ter was first brought up. I'VE have" he
said, "a debt of $4,000 which must be
liquidated n where else is the money
to come from if not from the money put
forward for this work."
The bishop then moved as a substitute
for Neeley's motion that the committees
report be taken up at once. The motion
was seconded and then followed a lively
debate. j. w. Broughton, a lay repre-
sentative from Philadelphia. spoke at
length, taking sides against DR.. Medley,
and q warm personal discussion between
the two gentlemen was only prevented
by the refusal of Chairman Merrill to
grant DIR. Neeley the floor. Various
other speakers kept at the matter until
finally Bishop Merrill settled it by put
ting the question, and the committee re-
port was adopted. The business of pass
ing on the mounts to be assigned vari-
Gus conferences was then resumed.

CRISIS IN SANTA CLARA.
Insurgent Leader Warns Peasants t,
Keep Out of Range,

Havana, Nov. 8.-Roloff, the insurgent
leader, who has been operating in the
province of Santa Clara since he landed
there on June last, has issued an order
to the peasants of that province to re-
move at least three miles from the towns
and forts of Santa Clara under penalty
of being shot.
Capt.-Gen. Martinez De Campos, in or
der to counterfeit the effect of this order,
is reinforcing the garrisons of the town
in the province of Santa Clara, has or

trate around the towns and has granted

state department Complies q Book OF
Value to Merchants.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 9.-The sta
tistical bureau of the state department
has just issued a work of great value
to merchants generally in the shape of
a volume on the Highways of Com
merce." Last April circular letters were
sent to all United States consular Off
GERS requiring them to submit special re-
ports on the meahs of freight and pas
senger transportation and ~telegraphic
communication. They were to show
whether the railroad systems were owned
by the governments or not, the mileage
of all lines, the frequency of train and
steamship communication, rates for pas
sengers and freight and all informa-
ton that would be desirable for mer-
camille operations. These reports have
been carefully compiled and edited and
illustrated by well-executed maps wher-
ever necessary, one feature being a large
chart of the tracks of full steam-pow-
cred vessels over the face of the globe.
The work is particularly full in It's treat
ment Of the countries of Central and

THE CZARINA'S CONDITION.

Darmstadt, Nov. 11.-Nothing is

States regarding the illness of the Czari-
ma, whose life was said to be despaired
of as the result of Caesarian operation.
1t is believed that if her condition was as
serious as reported, it would certainly be
known here at the palace among her rela-
tives and in the official circles of the
grand duchy. But nothing further is
known at Darmstadt than what has al
ready been repeatedly published; namely,
that the accouchment of the Czarina,
who was formerly Princess Alix of
Hesse, may be expected any day.

Detroit, Mich, Nov. S.-The walls adj

rapidly and with a greater degree of
safety. Two bodies were taken out this
morning. They were those Of Lizzie

and Charles Lind, aged 20, also an en-
ploye of the bindery. Several persons
are still missing, but it is expected that
all will be recovered before night. A

morrow night to take steps for the relief
of the families of the dead. Several pop
ular subscriptions have also been started
and a generous response is being made.

Yesterday, however, a severe relapse
occurred and there is today but little
