a Cincinnati Building Wrecked by Gas.
oline Explosion
CINCINNATI, Ohio, May s. At s
o'clock last night the five story build
ing, 43o and 1872 Walnut street, be-
tween Fourth and Fifth streets, was
blown to the ground by an explosion
of a gasoline engine. The shock was
so terrific that it was felt ali over the
city. and not q brick upon another
is left in the front and real walls of
the building, while the adjacent
buildings are badly damaged and the
glass in the windows in the Gibson
house and the large johnson building
across the street were all broken.
The glass was broken out of street
cars that were passing at the time,
and one of the cars was badly
wrecked, but none of the passenger
was seriously hurt. Ali the horses in
the immediate neighborhood broke
from their f~astenings and ran away,
and there was not only intense ex.
element, but the greatest confusion.
Seven were crushed to death and
twenty injured, among whom several
fatalities may develop.
The family of Adolph Drachs suf-
fered most severely. Drachs and his
wife are numbered among the dead,
his ~5-year-old daughter is dead and
his 3-year-old boy is believed to be
dying. holland Davit, a travelling
man for the Columbia Carriage com
pany, Of Hamilton, Ohio, and two
others, unidentified, complete the list
of those known to be dead.
A most touching scene occurred
when Fireman John Mccarthy found
his brother pinioned under a heavy
beam and begging the men above to
kill him. Mccarthy said there were
three other men near him and they
we're alive. The most heroic efforts
to liberate these sufferers were con-
tinued up to midnight.
Jack Mccarthy, Peter Burns and
Charles Tilley were taken out of the
ruins about midnight, but It is feared
that none of them will live.
Workmen report at 12:45 that one of
Mrs. Drachs' children was certainly
still alive, as they could plainly hear
it calling mamma"

POLITICAL POT BOILING.
Both sides Prove rand In b second Kan.
sas District.

LAWRENCE, Kan, May Tn the
Second district Republican convention
the committee on ere ntials first
heard Buchan's side. 1t bowed that
what was known as the s'club ticket
was carried in one ward of Kansas
City, Kan, by ballot box stufing.
The tally sheets kept by the clerks
showed that 1877 men had voted, but
the count revealed 946 ballots in.the
box. To accomplish this the election
vas held in q darkened room, the
windows covered with boards, except
O small hole SO low that it was impos-
sible for voters to see what was going
on within. Through this hole ballots
were passed into the hands of q negro
Judge of election. The rear end of
the room was barricaded so that moth
ing could be seen from that direction.
The clerks sat with their backs to the
judges upon eat nailed to the floor,
and so were unable to see what was
going on. One Of the judges, who
had been selected in the belief that
he would be q party to these deliber-
ately planned frauds, was so outraged
that he protested, but the count was
made notwithstanding, and the re-
turns certified to on the basis of the
ballots in the box. Other instances of
fraud were shown and the charges in
every case was supported by strong
aHdavits.
{. W. Trickett, acting for the
''Trickett delegation" read afidavits
in denial of the charges made by the
other side, and other affdavits charg-
ing that the Buchan faction were
guilty also of frauds
Thomas Oshell of johnson county,
who is a Funston supporter, said this
morning that it was generally under
stood among the managers of the can
didates that the Wyandotte county
case would be compromised by admit
ting both delegations. Trickett, how
ever, apparently was unwilling to bea
party to such a compromise. for he re-
sumed his argument before the COM
mittee at 9 o'clock.
The committee on credentials at
noon had not concluded the hearing
of evidence and a recess was taken
until 1:30 o'clock.
The Douglas county supporters Of
Buchan ere in a fighting mood and
declare that they will demand the
seating of the Buchan delegates as a
whole or fight.
Buchan has offered to the opposition
that if the committee will seat his
delegation he will get out of the race
for Congress and give his delegates
license to go where they please. 1t
has been intimated to HIM that his
proposition would be accepted if he
would agree to urn his delegates over
for Trickett to handle, but he says he
would not bargain away his dele gates
it he could and could not if ne would.
They were elected to support him so
long as he should remain in the race,
but further than that he could not
command them.

After q good deal Of debate in which
the Rev. DR.. Shier Of eetroit ex-
pressed regret that any feeling existed
between clergy and laity an effort
was made by DR.. James of Philadei-
phia to have the committee consist of
fifteen members to be appointed by
the bishop. The lay delegates would
not agree to this and Mr.. BENEFITS
resolution went through.
The woman question was again
brought forward and President Daniel
Stevenson Of Union college, Ken
lucky, criticised the action of the
bishops in deciding against the action
of the women in 1883.
The Rev. G. Nicely led the fight
against the omen He held that the
question was one of law purely. He
took up the question of the bible ar
gument and said that it was true that
the bible said men and women were
one in Christ, but not in the general
conference. He held that in the church
the status of women was different
from that of men. The question was
a constitutional one and no one was to
be admitted unless specifically men.

in anticipation Of the revelations OF
the cipher dispatches which he knew
bad fallen into the hands Of the Beers,
left his resignation as managing di-
rector OF the Chartered South Africa
company, with Mr.. Hawkesly, the
company's lawyer, to be used at his
discretion. He also left instructions
that if his continuance as a member
OF the queens privy council, a purely
nominal distinction, should be deemed
lnadvisable, his name should be struck
from the list. Mr.. Hawkesley has
communicated these facts 10 Mr..
Chamberlain, and the cabinet will
decide to-day whether to accept
Rhodes's resignation or not, for,
strange to say, despite the recent
revelations there is q strong party
both in the government and among it's
supporters, totally averse to adopting
any hostile action towards Rhodes.
Alfred Best has also rendered his
resignation as a director of the South
Africa Company.
President Kruger has in his pos
session altogether ffty-four incrimin-
ating kilograms, of which he has so
far published only about a dozen.
Some of the unpublished ones are very
sensational.
Truth declares that it is credibly in
formed that President Kruger pos
sesses evidence that the intention of
Jameson was to march upon Pretoria
first, 10 seize President Kruger and
then to proceed to johannesburg with
the president a prisoner. In an edi-
torial the paper dilates in bitter terms
upon the raid.

Rhodes remained premier of Cape
Colony, l am convinced that as soon
as 1t suited his purpose he would have
turned on Us {the British government

binds us to South Africa"
The Times Pretoria correspondent
says that President Kruger announced
that he had found it desirable to estab-
lish consular agents at Hamburg and
Frankfort in Germany. The scarcity
Of food stufs, he said, had caused
prices to rise to such an extent as to
neeessitate the temporary removal of
certain import duties
kruger's speech is the subject Of
comment in nearly all of the London
daily press The editorial in the Times
on the subject says: The keynote of
President Kruger's speech is in oppo-
sition to Great Britain. He indicates
a desire to band the two Dutch repub-
lies into an anti-British league and
create fresh ties with GERMANY

PARLIAMENT,
The South African Legislature In Session
Address by Kruger.

Address by Kruger.
PRETORIA, South African Republic,
May 6.-The Volksraad parliament of
the TransvaaD was opened to-day by
President Kruger. Great interest was
taken in the proceedings because Of
the recent disclosures of the cipher
kilograms exchanged between Cecil
Rhodes, then premier OF Cape Colony,
and others who took part in the Jane
son raid. The town was crowded
with Beers, many of whom had ridden
hundreds of miles to be present. The
vicinity of the parliament building
was crowded with a picturesque gath
ering of Beers long before the hour
set for the opening, and the common
dations passed upon the diplomacy Of
loom Paul. who has so cleverly out
fenced the British secretary of state
for the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain,
and is now SO completely master of
the situation that he towers head and
shoulders over every body and every
thing connected with South Africa.
we're many and warm.
The President. in his speech, said in
brief that the recent events. due to
malvolence and selfish objects, had
seriously interrupted the rest and
peace of the South African republic,
adding: 1T has ever been ny wish
to promote the development and pros
perity of the republic III the most
Peaceable manner possible, SO / am
firmly convinced that it is your sin
cere wish to cooperate with me in
this policy and that you expect With
the fullest confidence that the session
of the Volksraad will contribute in 10
small to the restoration
of peace in this state in order that,
through our united cooperation. our
country may flourish and prosper for
the benefit of all"
The president then touched upon the
foreign relations of the South African
republic. the most delicate portion of
the speech, saying: I'm spite of past
troubles the republic continues to
maintain friendly relations with for
eign powers"
The president then turned to the
relations between the South African
republic and its sister republic, the
Orange Free State, remarking: 81
hope that a meeting between epre-
sentatives of the Orange Free State
and representatives of Che South At
rican republic will shortly be held and
plans for a closer union between the
two countries will be discussed"
This utterance of President Kruger
was looked upon as confirming the re-
port that negotiations have for some
time been on foot for an alliance,
offensive and defensive, between the
South African republic and the Orange
Free State to resist any attempt upon
the part of Great Britain to interfere
with the internal affairs of either
country.
The Presidents speech was very
well received, being considered most
moderate II tone. although meeting
every situation firmly and squarely.
