RECOVERING THE BODIES.

It was an easy task to remove from the
ruins Hthe remains of Case and Carey, as
they lay in that part which was SO COM
pletely destroyed that few heavy objects
had to be moved. Both the bodies were
SO badly burned as to be scarcely recog
nizable and in addition they were man
gIed and mutilated. Moels, the engineer,
died at his post by the boilers. He was
apparently killed by the falling of part
Of the brick wall and his body was not
cached for some time. His back and
arm were broken and there was terrible
cash in the side of his head. All of the
men were trusted employees.
William B. Case was young man 80
years of age and was a native of New
Hampshire. He was the son of Chester
M. Case, who visited Portland few days
ago, leaving to go to Centre Harbor, N.
HI. He had one unmarried sister Mary,
who lives in Boston and another Is r,
who is married. A brother, Lasseres,
is an engineer in the state Of e1as.
The mother of William died several cars
ago and William then went to Brooklyn,
N. Y, where for some time he was EN-
pIoyed in gas works in that city AT the
outbreak OF the Spanish war he rendered

AUSTRIA AND ITALY
STAND WITH GERMANY
All the Other Powers Support
Americas Position.
REGARDED INExPEDIENT

Great Britain, Russia and France
Take That View of the German Pro-
posal-No New Developments In the
Chinese Situation.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 29.-The align
ment of the powers on the German
proposition to make the punishment of
the Chinese ringleaders condition
precedent to negotiations may now be
stated as follows:
Great Britain, Russia and France
stand with the United States regarding
this proposition as inexpedient.
Japan occupies middle attitude; she
is willing to follow the German lead, ii
all the other powers are agreeable, but
only for the sake of preserving harmony
among the powers, and not from be-
lief i'll the wisdom of the German propo-
sitiOn.
Austria and Italy stand shoulder to
shoulder with Germany, making the
dreibund q solid front. The first named
two powers do not attempt to argue the
German proposition and their answers
make it apparent that they have ac-
cepted it without much consideration.
Nothing is known here officially OF
the alternate proposition which is re-
ported to be preparing In Europe.
If it contains the same feature as to
prior punishment as the original propo-
sition, it is not likely to receive approval
here.
The fact that Secretary Hay is ex-
pected to return to Washington next
week will not change in any way the
policy of the state department. The
secretary has been in the closest touch
with all that has been doing in respect
to China, and the stories printed in Ger
many to the effect that he is coming
back to reverse those policies is pro-
nounced at the state department. to be
absurd.
The officials are impressed, and have
been from the beginning, with the con-
viction that any attempt made to punish
Prince Tuan before negotiations are un-
dertaken will absolutely defeat all eff
forts to ATTAIN peaceable end satisfac-
tory settlement.
Mr.. Oonger was heard from in brief
cablegram today. This is not published,
but it is understood to indicate import
ant developments.

SENSATIONAL AFFIDAVIT.

FRANKFORT, KY, Sept. 20. - Addi-

Peru-Government Faces Crisis.
LONDON, Sept. 29.-The election cam
paign is developing unexpected heat,
chiefly due to the vigorous efforts of the
Liberals to show united front. Per-
sonahties are being freely exchanged.
Joseph Chamberlain, secretary of state
for the colonies, by reason of the aggres-
sive tone of all his speeches, is the OBJ
ject of many bitter personal attacks.
Winston Churchill, in Oldham, has
been SO viciously attacked that Sir
Roslyn Wood has come to his assistance
with letter declaring there was moth
ing dishonorble connected with his res
ignation from the army and vouching
the correctness Of Churchill's recent
dual role of officer and correspondent.
Some of the Liberals of Oldham appa-
rently make more serious insinuations
against the young candidate, but, like
his father, Churchill seems to revel in
fight, and is said to stand a good chance
of being elected.
Another war character, Captain Lamb
ton of the British cruiser Powerful, has
been assisted in his fight against the
government by getting a letter from
Lord Rosebery. He is backed also by
all the aristocratic interests.
Churches Enter Politics.
Church associations are figuring also
in the campaign. The Imperial Prot
estant federation has received promises
from the 300 candidates to oppose to the
utmost any movement tending to bring
England and the vatican into closer
touch, or toward "Romanizing" the es-
tablished church. On the other hand,
the leading Roman Catholic papers al
most unanimously support the Oonser-
natives, believing that if they are re-
turned with a solid majority they will
achieve the project of giving Ireland
Catholic university and in other ways
see that the educational interests of
Catholics in England do not suffer.
The annual church congress-, in con-
ventiOn at Newcastle, was attended by
the Archbishop Of Canterbury and near
ly all the other Episcopal and lay digni-
taries, including several American and
Canadian clergymen. Though held in
the midst of the election excitement,
politics were carefully avoided, and the
proceedings were marked by unexpected
harmony. The spectacle Of John Ken
slit, the anti-ritualist agitator, speaking
good humoredly before ritualists upon
the effect of the reformations, suggested
to writer the lion lying down with
the lamb.
