carry Indiana, and then added:
Ohio should be put down as very like

To my mind, the two great doubtful
Estates which lean more strongly to the
democratic than to the Republican side
T-h this fight are New York and Ohio"

verihcation of the credentials of the Chi

conferences. Both Lii Hung Chang and

The Dead in Yesterdays Fire Are Irvine,

Scenes at the Confagration When the Firemen
Were Suddenly Buried
Criticisms of Fire Chief Cooks Absence From
the Fire Are Answered.

The worst disaster that has ever be-
fallen the st. Paul fire department. was
at 1870 yesterday morning, wl1en Second
Assistant Chief Irvine and three Of his
men were caught in tie ruins of the
Mccormick Harvesting conpanys ware
house at Minnesota Transfer, and in
stantly killed. Two minutes before the
crash there was no very certain indica-
ton that the fire was raging on the
ground floor of the south side The
windows in the upper stories glowed Il
dull red, showing that the fire had gain
ed some headway there.
After some efforts to gain an entrance
on the northeast side Chief Irvine deter
mined to reach the fire from the south
side. AS he came around the corner
of the building the walls began to sway
oninously, and the chief was advised
by w. P. Abbott and others to with
draw his men,
He replied saying that he was terribly
handicapped by a lack of water supply,
and that he was at a loss as to how
best to attack the fire.
He then advanced, despite the warn
ings of the bystanders, hook in hand,
to break open the sheet iron door open
ing into a passage. that led clear through
the building.

BRYAN WAS NOT ON BOARD.
He Did Not Leave Buffalo With His
SnRciaI Cnr.

He Did Not Leave Buffalo With His
Special Car.
HUNTINGTON, W. Va, Oct. 21-The
private car Rambler, which Hon. w
J. Bryan, the Democratic presidential
candidate, is making his tour of the
country, arrived here about o'clock
tonight but Mr.. Bryan himself was not
on the car. 1t brought only the news
paper correspondents who usually accom-
pany him. They had been separated
from him at Buffalo, and had not been
able to connect with him after leaving
that city. Mr.. Bryan's failure to reach
here at the expected time was due to
unscheduled occurrences. In order to
make connections it was necessary for
The Rambler to leave Buffalo at IL
o'clock last night. Mr. Bryan's meet
ings in that city kept him so lat1 that
it was impossible for him to leave at
that hour and he directed that the car
should proceed without him, intending
te follow on a later train in the belief
that e could overtake the car at Pitts
burg during the forenoon today. Wien
the car with its load of correspondent ts
reached Pittsburg they discovered that
Mr.. Bryan had not arrived, and that
he could not reach that city in time to
allow the car to be attached to the reg
ular train on the Ohio River rail<dd,
which was the only train of the day
that would reach Huntington in time
to allow Mr. Bryan to make a speech
there tomorrow morning. They therefore
proceeded on their way to Huntington,
and at Wheeling learned that Mr.. Bryan
had concluded to attempt to come to
Huntington by way of Columbus, O.,
with the expectation of reaching this
city early tomorrow morning.
At Wheeling the newspaper CORE
spondents were met by a committee of
distinguished West Virginia Democrats,
headed by Col. John T. McGraW, ma
tional committeeman from that state,
and Hon. John H. Holt, Democratic
candidate for governor. This committee
occupied a parlor car of their own, and
they will accompany Mr.. Bryan through
out his West Virginia tour.
The fact that Mr.. Bryan was expect
ed to cross the state today, though
without any intention of making speech
es, had apparently become generally
known. for the railroad stopping places
were filled with people in their Sunday
clothes, who had come out to greet him.
There was a large crowd at Wheeling,
Sistersville, st. Mary's, Parkersburg, and
indeed at all other points along the line
of travel. AT many places where the
train did not stop, including farm houses
and churches, the people were gathered
in numbers and waved their greetings
TO the train as it passed by.
At many of the stopping points the
people were quite incredulous about the
absence of Mr.. Bryan, and some of them
insisted on going through the car and
making a search for him. There was

next floor had had gone, too, and the
walls commenced failing. Larson was
the first fireman to notice this, and with
a few agile jumps he had crossed the
danger line.

jecting helmet, Chief Irvine was some

three steps, and was then buried in the

returning the prison board, through these
arrangements, received proposition for
the sale and delivery of hemp which
would have saved the state $S,O00 on one

compared with what the same kind of
hemp would have cost if bought in New
York. But not expecting such an offer,
the prison board had just purchased a
full supply of siSal and for that reason
did not accept the offer. But the ar
rangements made ought to save the sta te
