STATE papers will be allowed a
short respite from politics now until
the call is issued for the Democratic
and Populist conventions. Then the
campaign will open in earnest and the
ives" will try to mould public opin-
ion favorable to their choice. It is to
be hoped the papers outside the cities
will have moro influence than was
manifested by the Minneapolis papers
in their fight Clough carried Henne-
pin county with very little trouble
against a combination which was
backed by almost every paper in the
western metropolis. It is proper now
for them to ascertain just where; they
are at. b

The Saltwater Gazette shows. the
proper spirit. It was defeated in its
fight for Van SAINT but comes up smil-
ing. This is what it says: "We're
licked and we amt like a fellow who
don't know it. The contest in Wash
ington county has been a warm one;
the victors put up a good fight, won the
battle and the county belongs to them.
There is no use going around like a
sore-headed bear, but gracefully sub
nit to the majority and continue bust
ness at the old stand. We are willing
to take off our hats to the victors,
shake hands and join drives for the
success of the Republican ticket.''

The Chicago Tribune has carefully
studied the situation and gives out the
following figures on the Chicago con
vention: "With the silver men in con.
troll, and all contests decided in their
favor, the total Of silver delegates will
will be increased to 622 and the gold
total reduced to 274. Then there are
20 extra delegates from the territories
waiting to be seated by the convention,
which would increase the silver
strength to 642. The territories are
entitled to but two delegates, but five
OF them elected six apiece, and expect
to have the convention increase their
representation to that many IS.

doubtof the silver comple xion Of the
Chicago convention and a bolt Of the

Harrity says no gold plank has any

them that the third party will endorse

r The cry of 'machine' had little Ell
feet in the preliminary campaign just
closed. Gov. Clough in a speech &C
knowledged that he had machine

himself and every friend he has in the

want a man there is nothing that can
prevent the accomplishment of their
desire. Isn't it nearly time the organs
of the monopolies discovered this?

ONE of the planks Of the new Repub-

national treasury instead Of taking it

MONTREAL, QUEBEC, Oct. 16.-The
most disastrous fire in this city for q long
time occurred this afternoon, having its
beginning in the building al 81 st. Peter

porters of chemicals. AS a result three
firemen are dead and dozen more or less

The dead are: Harry King of Station 1,

be reached before the missing are def

way the blaze spread with amazing ra-
pidity.
Before the first apparatus bad reached
the scene and the hose could be laid the
flames from the fourth story of the build
ing were reaching far out into the center
of the street.
The building is a four-story stone struc-
ture and was completely enveloped In fire
before the department began effective
work. The chemicals on the top floor
burned with the fury of a furnace, and
even after several streams had been
brought into play continued to blaze with
undated fierceness. Clouds of dense
black smoke followed the flames as the
streams began to take effect. and the men
on the extension ladder were for "a large
part of the time enveloped in huge clouds
of smoke.
The flames spread to Goldstein's cigar
factory and the smoke was seen coming
out of the windows OF Kearney Bros. tea
warehouse and the building occupied by
Johnston's Fluid Beef Extract Company.
The arrival of the water-tower was greeted
with an outburst of cheers by the enor-

lost in getting it TO work,
The fire then burst from window i'm

a dozen fremen were standing, thrusting
the hose nozzles here and there. They did
not finch, however, and another great
cheer went up as they dropped step on

Rapid Trial, Conviction and Sentence o,
the Murderer of Defenseiess


BALTIMORE, MD, Oct. 16.-One of the
quickest murder trials on record took
place yesterday at Upper Marlboro, in
Prince George County. James Smith was
arraigned. demanded jury trial, was
granted it, and was promptly convicted
and sentenced to death before the court
adjourned.
The prisoner greatly facilitated matters
by pleading guilty. He was charged with
numbering Miss Margaret browns at Seal
Pleasant, small place near Bennings
station. When arraigned and ordered to
plead Smith said in a firm and steady
voice. "Guilty of murder, but not of the
assault as charged"
His counsel asked for jury trial, and il
was quickly under way. Four witnesses
for the State were examined.
The prisoner was put on the stand and
in answer to a question said:
"On the evening of July % Miss
browns and me had a quarrel. knocked
her down, choked her, went downstairs,
got a knife, returned, took the knife and
cut her throat. That's all there was to it. u
The jury remained out about fifteen
minutes and returned verdict of guilty
of murder in the first degree.
The Judge then pronounced the death
sentence.

TO BID AD|EU TO SATOLLI
Distinguished Catholic Prelates
Gather at the Fifth Avenue
Hotel.
Their Meeting May Also Have Some
Bearing on Selecting Bishop
Keane's Successor.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 16.-Arch.
bishop Ireland of st. Paul and Bishop Nc.
Goldrick of Duluth arrived at the Fifth
avenue Hotel this morning, swelling the
number of distinguished Catholic prelates
who have come to bid adieu to Cardinal
Satolli, who sails for Rome tomorrow
morning.
Though the visit was timed on account
of the Cardinal s departure. the assem- blage
of church dignitaries is also on account oil
the meeting of the directors OF the Wash.
ington University. 1t has been thought
in certain quarters that there would be q
"caucus" regarding Bishop Keane's sue
cessor at the university. but so far as car
be learned no such caucus has been held
though the matter has been discussed in
an informal way. This afternoon to a re.
porter of the United Associated Presses
Bishop McGoldrick said:
sit is folly to predict what will be the
outcome of the meeting of the Arch bishops
of the United States and of the directors
of the Catholic University, which is to be
held in Washington. All talk OF a pro.
gramme is merely conjecture and guess
work. As to Bishop Keane's successor il
is idle to make predictions"
Archbishop Ireland laugLingly said
"Oh, don't put my name in the papers at
all. I cannot be induced at present to talk
on any topic for publication, not even on
the weather. Really, Unjust beg to be ex-
cused."
This evening all the distinguished pre-.
lates attended the final reception in Car
dinal Satolli's honor in Brooklyn.

in one place than they would break out
with redoubled fury in another. The Fl e
was got under control at clock but was
not subdued.
At 2:30 the floor of the upper loft in the
GiImour building gave away without
warning and fell with great crash. Six
teen men in all are said to have been in
the place at the time and as the smoke
cleared for moment shrieks could be
heard.
At first the firemen were unable to get
inside, but finally the rescuers made head
way and the first victim reached was
Gordon of No. station. He was wedged
down and apparently dead, but when
taken to the open air he revived somewhat
and was quickly placed in an bulance
and taken to a hospital Next came Fire
man Benoit of No. 8 station, who was not
resusticated before being taken away in
the patrol-wagon. Charpentier was the
third rescued and he was suffering in
ternally.
Captain Guthrie of No. station was
also found in an unconscious condition.
He was taken to hospital. A fireman
named Mirault OF engine II was rescued,

Edmund La Porte was taken TO the General
Hospital unconscious. David Bennett OF
No. Is and Saul Carest of No. IL were re-
moved to Notre Dame Hospital badly
hurt. Captain Norm was rescued badly
hurt. George Reynolds of No. 1 was also
taken to Notre Dame Hospital.
The bodies of Firemen King and Car
penter were recovered shortly after 10
o'clock tonight. TIE men were buried
beneath many tons of debris and it took
several hours to get at them. Both men
had evidently been killed instantly.
The most seriously hurt was Fireman
David Bennett of No. Is, badly injured in
ternally. At the General Hospital to-
night he was reported resting easily. ALI
the other men, who were only slightly
hurt were released from the hospital and
sent to their homes.
All OF the killed were married men with
families. La Porte, who was regarded as
one of the best men in the brigade, repre-
sented Montreal at the international tour
nament in London last summer.
For the first twenty minutes of the fire

by the chemicals in the Gilmour building.
The loss will reach $780, The build
