English Public and Press Oppose Him
for Foreign Minister.
London, Nov. 1.-The marquis OF
Lansdowne's elevation to the foreign
secretaryship. according to the an
nouncements in the newspapers this
morning has, fguratiyely speaking,
taken the country's breath away. It
was as unexpected as it is unwelcome.
Even the stanchest ministerial mouth
piece among the afternoon newspapers
openly condemn it.
The Globe declares the appointment
only shows Lord Salisbury is COM
pletely out Of touch with the feelings
and wishes of the electorate and the
conservative party, while the liberal
Westminster Gazette, Growing over
the discontinue Of the ministerial
newspapers, which have been so loud
~ demanding the retirement of Lord
Lansdowne, expresses relief at the
fact that Joseph Chamberlain was NOT
given the post, saying:
"The latter's appointment would
have filled thoughtful people with dis
may, and it is something to have es-
capped this serious danger" Lord Sal
isbury, apparently, arranged matters
with the queen at Balmoral a week
ago. His lordship's own inclination
was to resign the premiership and de-
vote himself exclusively to the foreign
office. He wrote her majesty to this
effect, but she declined to accept the
suggestions. Lord Salisbury, there
fore, went to Balmoral. to discuss the
question. with the result that the
queen carried her point.
Public anxiety Is to some extent re-
lieved by the conviction that Lord
salisbury's experience will still be
available to direct the broad lines Of
policy Of the prospective foreign min
lister. .+a

DIG BODIES FROM RUINS.
Worknlen Recover Corpses Of Victims Of
New York Explosion.

Workn,en Recover Corpses Of Victims Of
New York Explosion.
New York, Oct. 21.Hundreds Of
workmen have cleared away hun dreds
Of tons Of debris from the mountain
Of wreckage left by the awful explo-
sion in the Tarrant building, at Green
witch and Warren streets, on Monday.
They We're delving for the, bodies OF
the victims, All day and all night the
search went on. ,
Two corpses, it is thought, were dis
covered. One. or something that
looked like q corpse, may be that Of
August Schmidt, an engraver, who
worked on the third floor of the At
lantic Cafe building, directly opposite
Tarrant's.
The other body, that Of a woman,
was the only one that was actually
recovered. 1t was not entire. Work
men found it in the Tarrant building.
There was nothing to identify this
victim Of the disaster.
The authorities have been unable
either to fix the responsibility. for the
explosion or to ascertain the number
of the dead. The mystery of the ia
talities can be cleared up only With
pick and shovel. VIA
The latest explanation Of the explo
sion is that it was caused by chlorate
Of potash, a large quantity of which
was stored by Tarrant & Co., for Nc,
Kesson 6 Robins, and Rogers & Pyatt,
both wholesale drug firms. ,5
The explosion demonstrated that the
law regulating the storing of explo-
sives is defective in itself, or, If eff
ficient, is not properly applied. Dis
trict Attorney Gardner has instructed
Assistant District Attorney James ].
Walsh to investigate the explosion
and if necessary lay the facts before
the grand jury SO that if there is a
Of the penal code involved in
the awful destruction Of life and prop
erty those guilty may be punished as
they deserve.
The number OF persons missing and
who may have lost their lives in the
disaster is reported now as thirty-six.
The first estimates Of the mortality
which the police made were, no doubt,
excessive. wy
