In the United States cOG-t one day
lawyer opposed to Emory Storrs, iE ar"-
iug a motion. branched out upon a late
European trip he had enjoyed and quoted
largely from certain low French writer's.
His quotations were sprinkied some what
with excerpts in the Gallo tongue. and
hIs entire talk smacked much more OF
mis- trip than OF the matter before the
court. When lie had finished Mr. Storrs
arose, briefly stated the law on the dis
puted point and then proceeded to his
opponents argument. He said he had
been vastly entertained by the gcntleman's
pleasing account of his travels in La
Belle France and exceedingly Interested

Gated the bringing into the case at tar

for himself, lie considered that the gentle
man in so Going had committed a very
serious fox pass"
AT another time, in an arson case B. F.

In Politics.

This is just little pointer as tn how the
election will 60 in Montgomery county,
Maryland.
A gentleman was present at gathering
of the registered voters Of one OF the pre-
cincts in Wheaton district. There are
thirty voters in the district, but SIX re-
fused to register. OF the remainder, one
will vote for Bryan, one will not tell how
he intends to vote, and twenty-five are for
Mckinley.
This is a gain of rs per cent in this pre-
cinct for the Republicans
Mr Babcock received some interesting
news from his district. yesterday. 1t came
from Grant county, the stronghold of De-
nocracy, in the State OF Wisconsin. 1t

1t showed that 101 Republicans would
vote for Bryan: 231 Democrats for Nc
Kinley: 26 Prohibitionists would vote for
BRYAN: 40 woeh vote for Mckinley; and
106 for Palmer and Buckner.
This means Il Republican gain or 10 ana
Democratic loss of 21O. Mr.. Babcock
thinks this is pretty good.
Republican headquarters were crowded
with voters yesterday after certificates

Several hundred voters were there, and IN
the afternoon they formed in lines ex-
tending away down the halls.
AT Democratic headquarters officials
ad iourned to the sidewalks during the aft
ernoon. Some OF the boys began discuss
ing politics outside the entrance. and
Chairman Faulkner and Secretary Gardner
coming along from their lunch, took part.
That settled it. AS one left another
dropped into his place and so. the talk
went on until everyone grew tired OF stand
ing up.
Mr.. Cazenoye G. Lee, who publicly an
nounced several days ago that he would
vote FOR Mckinley. has been severely criti-
aised by many OF his friends. Yesterday he
made a further statement, in which he
says:
My opinions in this pending political
contest are those of many of the nearest
and dearest relations of the late Gen. Robert
+. Lee. notably of his son, Capt. X +.
Lee, and of Gen. Fitzhugh Lee. his nephew

would be side by side with US in this holy
cause"
Chairman Faulkner was talking to a
newspaper man yesterday on William E.
Wilson's flop. The newspaper man, with a
smile, said:

Seven People Supposed to be Dead
and a Dozen Taken Ont with More
or Less Serious Injuries.

BUFFALO, n. Y, May 21.-This morn
Ing the Seneca-street side of the Brown
building. formerly occupied by the Western
Union Telegraph Company, collapsed, and
a score or more people were buried in the
ruins. The building was filled with offices,
almost all of which were occupied The
Western Union left the building a few
weeks ago. and the owners of the block be-
gan the work of remodeling and strength
ening it. On the Seneca-street side work.
men were engaged in putting in new iron
columns and beams, when the walls of a
section of the building fell in. Iron columns
were twisted, heavy wooden beams were
torn to pieces, pillars of brick crurnbled,
and a huge cloud of dust arose. shutting
out the wrecked building for some mo-
ments.
Immediately east OF the wrecked building
was the barber shop OF George Sennart. AT
the time of collapse there were several Gus
TONERS and ten workmen in Sennart's shop.
The heavy walls Of the Brown building
crashed into the shop, burying every one
therein. A corps Of men has been at work
all day and night to recover the bodies,
and most have been rescued
The body of an unidentified workingnan
was taken from the ruins at midnight. The
time book of contractor StrauD has been
found, and a careful peruSal or II leads To
the belief that there are at least four
bodies in the wreck yet. The search will
be kept up all night. The list OF dead Is as
