Georgetown, May 24.-"If the Nation
al Republican Convention refuses to
seat the Union Republican delegates,
BRYAN will have from 5000 to 1000 ma
iority in Delaware" declared DR.. Ca
leb r. Layton, chairman Of the Addicks
County Executive Committee 20 an
Evening Journal correspondent in his
office.
You don't mean that" suggested the
correspondent.
Yes. / do mean It" he said.
What if the Republicans vote for
the Addicks electOrs?n he was asked.
1--WE will prevent them by law" he
said. and then he detailed the manner
in which affidavits would be made call
ing on the clerks Of the peace to pre-
vent the Republicans from using the
Addicks electoral nominees.
And" he continued, "do you sup
nose the clerks Of the peace won't be
only too glad to comply with our de-
mand? In New Castle and Sussex they
are Democrats, and you know the stu
alton in Kent. We are going to Phlla'
delphia to demand our rights at the
hands Of the convention. II the conven'
ton doesn't give them to us, we will dc
something else. Even half vote VII
not be accepted. We will refuse any
such an offer. 1t must be a whole vote
or nothing"

Accordingly a warrant was last even

arrest and was served early this morn
ing.
Yesterday afternoon Morrison talk
ed to a reporter at length. and when
told that he was strongly suspected
of the crime he changed color and grew
somewhat excited, at the same time
protesting his innocence in strong
terms. He was taken to police head
quarters. but when questions were put
to him he charged the officers with
trying to convict him of the murder
and refused to answer them. A small
! spot of blood on his clothing, he says
was gotten there while separating two
fighting dogs before the murder.
According to the story of the Nor.
risons the husband, Washington Nor.
rison, was at work with Dan and Law
renee Hickey on the Hickey farm wher

Vancouver, b. c., July 9.--The steamer
Amur has arrived from Skagway, bringing
$500 in gold dust and 40 passengers.
OF these, 80 were returning miners, who
had sacks of from $4,000 to $4,000 each,
while several Vancouver merchants
brought large returns from their north
ern branch stores.
The most interesting news brought by
the Amur was that of the finding of the
body of Karl Olson, who was murdered
last December with Clayson and Relic,
two other American citizens. Olson,s
body was found on sand bank near Sell
kirk and was taken down to Dawson by
the steamer Yukoner.
Passengers leaving Dawson 10 days ago
on the Columbian met the Yukoner going
down the river. There were said to be
marks of violence on Olson's body, and
the authorities consider the evidence of
his murder conclusive.
H. M. Martin, mining recorder at Sell
kirk, was out duck shooting, when his
gun accidently discharged and the con-
tents of one barrel emptied into his fore
arm. He will also lose two fingers.
A stampede of miners to the new pla-
GERS near White Horse is reported. Do
minion and Hunker Creek clean-ups are
turning out much better than expected.
DIR. Carol, a prominent physician OF
Vancouver, spent several days ON claims
on Hunker, and says several men there
were taking out 800 an hour.
Captain John Irving, well known
steamship owner and former member OF
parliament, came down on the Amur. He
states, on the authority of government
officials in Dawson, that the gold yield
on the Yukon for the season is much
larger than last year.

A BIG FIRE At P|TTSBURG
SEVERAL MEN WERE KILLED.
All the Victims Were Firemen-Fire
Started in CroclSery Store
smoke Was Intense-Money Loss
viii BE Large-Au Insured.

Pittsburg, July 9.-Pittsburgs down
town section was visited by another dis
astrous fire, the second within week.
Four men are dead and six others are in
hospitals suffering from injuries which
may prove fatal. All the victims were
fremen. The dead:
f. Grifiit, st. Clair Crawford, Max Bat
terbaugh, John Lewis.
The injured: Captain Dan Campbell,
Stewart Burns, Edward Kearney, William
Erb, George Mum, William Derile.
The fire had its origin in the basement
of Evans & Co.'S glassware establishment
on Fifth avenue, between Wood and Mar
ket streets. The dense smoke from burn
ing excelsior and other material used in
packing chinaware bafHed the firemen for
long time, but after fighting for more
than an hour they got the upper hand
though the building was deluged with
water.
At about 5: 80 when all danger seemed
to have passed 10 members of Engine COM
panies Nos. and ii were working ON the
second floor, knee deep in water. The
weight of the water with the already
heavy weight ON the floor in the shape of
the big jewelers. safe of Goddard, Hill
& Co., was too much and the floor gave
way. In its plunge down it dragged the
third floor along with it clear down to
the cellar. The fremen were buried deep
under the debris and it was believed at
first none would escape. Heroic efforts
were made by the remaining firemen to
rescue their comrades, and in little
while they could be conversed with, but
they were still pinned down by the masses
of debris.
The men still in the wreck were alive
until 1870 o'clock and conversed with the
rescuers About that time the fire broke
out afresh just over the spot where the
poor fellows were pinned down. Dan
Campbell, captain of Company No. 4, wa:
in sight of the rescuers, but was pinned
down by heavy timbers on his legs. While
the men were working with fierce energy
to release him, the fire reached him anC
burned his feet. He begged his fellows
to hurry the work.
To rescue Captain Campbell a jack wa
pushed forward and other jacks were re
quired to raise a large portion OF tn
broken floor. He was under the floor tw
hours, yet he was the least injured OF an,
taken out The others were badly bruises
and cut and one or more may die fror
. the effect of their injuries.
The money loss will reach 100000, {
which E. G. Evans & Co. lose $4,000 Goo
dard, Hill & Co., $4,000; Davis Maize
$4,000; o. McClintock $1,000: Alleghen
National Bank, $500. All were covere
by insurance.

Confirmed by Admiral Bruce.


London, July lO-Admiral Bruce has
sent a telegram from Taku to the admir-
atty under date of July to the effect that
there are grounds for hoping that Prince
Ching, with his army, is at Picking pro-
tecting the legations against Prince Iuan,
his army and the Boxers.
Washington, July l0.-Though fear
full of giving false encouragement, the
state department officials are bound to
admit today that there is reason for hope
now respecting the welfare of the lega-
TONERS at Picking. Minister Wu's cable
gram from Sheng, taken in connection
with the report of Admiral Bruce from
Tientsin, has done much to encourage this
hopeful feeling. Mr.. WI brought his
telegram to the state department this
morning in person and pointed out to
Secretary Hay what he regarded as some
.signincent and gratifying features of his
dispatch. Such, for instance, was Shengs
declaration of the Chinese who are at
lacking the legations as "rebellious troops
and rioters" and the positive statement
that the Chinese government is opposing
them.
There is reason to believe that much of
the credit of the awakening of the Chinese
government to the sense of its response
bility for the safety of foreign ministers
is due to Minister Wu's personal efforts.
At least three weeks ago, when it was
realized that the ministers were in peril,
Minister WI set about their protection as
far as lay in his power. Unable to reach
the government at Picking himself by tele-
graph, he was in constant communication
by cable, not only with Sheng at Shanghai
but with the great viceroys of the south
.ern provinces, including Lii Hung Chang
He cabled to these officials the most ear
nest appeals for the exercise of their good
offices with the Peking government to Sc
cure the safety of the legations. He point
ed out the inevitable disaster to China tina
would follow the destruction of these
ministers, and he implored the viceroys t.
avail themselves of any means in theil
power to ensure the presentation at Pc
king of his representations. He believes
that these representations have reached
the imperial government and that they
have at least contributed to the decision o
that government to render what protec
tion they can to the foreign ministers.
Rewards offered.
Washington, July l0.-Minister WI ha
.cabled to Sheng, director general of i'm
perial posts at Shanghai, and to the vice
roy at Nanllin, request that they tax
steps to have it known in Peling and vi
entity that heavy rewards will be pai
by the American people for the salvation
of the people in the legations. The minis
ter did not acknowledge this representa-
ton upon the authority of the Unite
States government, but upon many state
ments made to him by prominent Amer
can citizens. He was approached yestei
day by some friends and relatives of som
of the people who were with Minister Coz
ger when the outbreak occurred beseecl
ing him to offer rewards which they woul
pay to any one who would help the b.
