Jim Grigg" for Congress; and to say
that he made a good speech for his
own and the free silver Democratic
party, IS stating the fact very mildly.
While conservative in the extreme,
he nevertheless presented facts and
figures in support of argument ad

NAUTICAL precision the same, that were
very interesting, to say the least, to

man is fine speaker, a close reasoner,

of Tablequah. the capital. The par

spilling OF whiskey. Wotford shot
Williams and the latter returned the
fire, killing Wofford instantly. 1t is
said that Woffords brother killed

Human Holocaust In New York.

NEW York, August 1l.-There was
a fatal fire this afternoon in the build
ings at 465, 467 and 469 Greenwich
street, occupied by the A. K. Warren
electric repair works and number OF
smaller firms. In the excitement at
tending the outbreak it was first re-
ported that at least 80 lives were lost.
Some of those reported lost were after
wards accounted for. The accurate
number of victims will not be known
until the ruins are searched. 1t is be.
lieved, however, that the death list
will prove to be fifteen or twenty.
While the fremen were fighting the
flames the bodies OF two victims could
be plainly seen on the fire escapes.
Five men and boys were injured
while escaping from the burning
buildings. They were taken to Hud-
son Street Hospital mangled and
burned. What caused the fire is not
known, but it is believed to have been
started by an explosion. 1t is known
that an explosion occurred few min
utes after the lire broke out. The fire
spread like flash through the build
ing, at No. 465, where the fire origi.
mated, and cut off the escape of many.
The Gremen who first reached the
scene of the conHagration saw num-
ber of men at the windows appealing
for help, but before any attempt at
rescue could be made they fell back
exhausted by the heat and smoke and
all are supposed to have perished in
the flames. Altogether there were
about thirty-two men employed by
the Warren Company. There were
fifteen on the sixth, or top floor, elev
en- on the fifth, four on the fourth and
two in the Offices on the ground floor.
From the stories told by those who
claimed to have been nearby when
the first alarm was given faces were
seen at nearly every window. Thai
at least four are dead in the ruin:
there can he no doubt, for their char
red bodies lie exposed to view on the
fire escapes of the third and fifth sto
ries. Two others. one girl, were
seen to fall back into the flames, over
come probably by the smoke before
the fire touched them.

DURING the last six years there
have been AZ, 902 homicides in this
country, and averaging 1917 per year.
Within the same period there have
been 723 executions and LIB lynch
ings. In the last year 10, 500 persons
were killed, whereas in 1900 there
were only 4,20O or less than half as
many. The figures prove the homici-
dial crime is increasing at an alarming
rate. The ineffective administration
of criminal law is blamed for this

lions have been called, one for Sept.
8 in this city, and the other for Sept.
30 in Colorado Springs. The latter
convention was decided upon at a
meeting of the state committee July
%, at which the followers OF Senator
Walcott, who will support Mckinley
and Hobart, were in control. Chair
man Holmes and the Mckinley MEM
bers of the committee ignored the call
tor another meeting which was signed
by a majority of all the members. AT
this meeting a new chairman was
elected. Resolutions were adopted re-
pudiating the action of the previous
meeting, declaring the silver question
of paramount Importance, indorsing
Senator Teller and commencing the
action OF the Colorado delegation TO
the national Republican convention.
A state convention was called for Sep
tember 9, at which it is the intention
of the silver Republicans to indorse
the Democratic national ticket and
make nominations for state offices,
The other convention will nominate
