LO AS A VOTER.
A QUESTION WHICH IS AGITATING
POLITICAL CIRCLES.
Republicans Claim Montana—Waldo Em-erson’s
Grave Desecrated—The Pan-
American Junketers—The Mari-time
Conference.
The Indian in Politics.
Washington, October 14.—The Indian
as a political factor is a feature of politics
which is likely in the near future to at-tract
public attention. By recent acts
of congress every Indian over 21 years of
age who receives an allotment of land in
severalty becomes a voter, clothed with
every attribute that attaches to citizen-ship.
The successful termination of ne-gotiations
with the Sioux Indians by
which they surrender a large part of
their reservation in Dakota will, it is
estimated, by next year throw into the
politics of the state the uncertain quan-tity
of 4,937 voters. This vote thrown
solidly, as it probably will be in both
state and national elections, is likely to
become an important factor in that state.
Negotiations now in progress with other
Indian tribes will soon make many thou-sand
more voters. At the interior de-partment
it is thought upwards of 20,000
Indians will be entitled to vote in the
next presidential election. How the red
man will conduct himself as part and
parcel of the nation, and not as formerly,
will be watched with interest by all who
are interested in the solution ot the In-dian
problem. '
Republicans Claim Montana.
Chicago, October 14.—A special dis-patch
from Helena, Mont., says that
Col. Seligmon, chairman of the Republi-cad
central committee, announces that
the Republicans certainly have the leg-islature
either by one or three majority.
Oilicical returns from Beaverhead county
elect James P. Bennett, Republican, to
the lower house, and Henry Blair, Re-mblican,
is awarded the seat from Deer
>odge by a majority of four. Both these
seats have heretofore been counted for
the Democrats. The count in Silver-bow
county, of which Butte is the county
seat, has been completed, but Republi-can
counsel have protested against
counting the returns from the Eighth
and Thirty-fourth precincts. If these
precincts are thrown out it. will elect
nearly all the Republican county officials,
and seat the Republican state senator
and the two representatives from this
county. The total membership of the
legislature is 71, and by the above ealeu-lation
the Republicans have 36 and
probably 37. The canvass in Louis and
Clarke counties (Helena) is still incom-plete.
The Democrats are alarmed at the
outlook. The Independent, the Demo-cratic
organ, charges the Republicans
with an attempt to steal the legislature
and the two United States senators.
C ollision and Death.
Detroit, October 14.—Early yesterday
morning while the Michigan Central en-gine
No. 304 was engaged in switching in
the yards it was backed into some coal-laden
cars through a misplaced switch.
The collision threw the tender almost
upon the engine, damaging the machin-ery
in such a manner as to cause steam
to escape in large quantities. Engineer
N. H. Palmer and Fireman Pearce were
frightfully burned. Theengineer jumped
from the engine and in his agony ran
some d stance down the track where he
was picked up later in a dying condition.
He expired shortly after at the hospital.
In the meantime the engine “ran away,”
and when it came to a stop the fireman
was found sitting in his seat partially
pinned down and lifeless. His face and
hands showed only too plainly what he
had suffered.
The Pai.-American Junketers.
Buffalo, N. Y., October 14.—When
the delegates to the International
American congress awoke this morning
the heavy clouds and raw dampness of
yesterday had been dissipated by the
rays of the sun, which was shining with
brilliancy and making rainbows upon the
veil of mist which rose in clouds from
the great cataract. The party left Niag-ara
Falls about 8:30 o’clock and at9:15
the train drew up at Buffalo. The ex-cursionists
were immediately driven in
carriages to the city hall, where they
were received by the mayor and other
notables and then proceeded on a round
of sight-seeing.
Waldo Emerson’s Grave Desecrated.
Concord, Mass., October 14.—Yester-day
afternoon while attending a burial
at Sleepy Hollow cemetery here, two
gentlemen of Concord discovered that
the grave of Ralph Waldo Emerson had
been disturbed. The authorities were
notified and it was found that the grave
had been opened during Saturday night,
exposing the casket. Whether the re-mains
have been taken or not is not
known, as the authorities are awaiting
the return of Dr. Edward Emerson, the
philosopher’s son, who has been tele-graphed
for. A watch was placed at the
grave, but the general opinion here is
that the miscreants accomplished their
object and secured at least the skull,
which was probably what they were
after.
THE CASKET NOT OPENED.
Concord, Mass., October 14.—Mr.
Willard Tarvar, an undertaker here, is
authority for the statement that although
the Emerson casket is uncovered it was
not opened by the vandals, who were ap-parently
frightened away before they
could accomplish their purpose.

Tlxe Maritime Conference.
Washington, October 14.—Delegates
to the International Maritime conference,
which opens here on Wednesday the
16th instant, are beginning to arrive in
the city. The gathering will embrace
about sixty members, . representing
twenty-three of the more important
maritime nations, that furnish perhaps
99 per cent of the tonnage of the world.
In fact, no maritime country of any iin-portance
is without representation, ex-cept
Portugal. The conference expires
by limitation on the 31st of January
next, and even then it is doubtful if the
members will have finished the work
laid out for them. The meeting is an
event second only in interest to the Pan-
American congress. The chief object of
the conference is to secure agreement
upon an improved code of marine signals,
with a view to the increased safety of
navigation. The subjects to be discussed
come fully under the following heads:
Marine signals to indicate the course of
vessels in fog, mist, snow and at night,
together with “rules of the road,” to
prevent collision; regulations to deter-mine
the sea-worthiness of vessels; the
proper load line of vessels; the proper
marking of vessels; the saving of life
and property from shipwrecks; lists of
efficiency of officers and seamen; the
laying out of lines for steamers of
frequented waters; signals for communi-eating
Information; warnings of ap-proaching
storms; reporting and de-stroying
abandoned vessels ; notices of
danger from rocks and changes of lights,
buoys, etc., the devising of a uniform
system of buoys and the establishment
of to maritime commission, whose funo-tions
would be to gather and diffuse in-formation
of value to navigation. Fore-most
among the subjects to be brought
forward is the adoption of new and
more exact means to show in a fog which
direction a vessel is moving. A number
of American naval officers have con-ducted
experiments on this subject and
their reports will be of great value to
the congress. The lights now used by
sailing vessels are declared by navy ex-perts
to be practically worthless for the
prevention of collisions. Navy officers
here take great interest in the coming
conference, about the importance of
which they say there can he n» question.
Herr Sierking, a noted authort'y on mari-time
law, will be the leading German
delegate to the conference. He comes in-structed
to ask the congress to extend
its programme beyond technical ques-tions
and to consider general interna-tional
maritime laws with a view to the
acceptance of principles regulating the
settlement of disputes like the Behring
sea fishery troubles. If the congress ad-heres
to the present time of programme
Herr Sierking will propose a subsequent
special conference on excluded ques-tions.
The American delegates to the Inter-national
marine conference met this
morning at the office of Secretary Colt-man
in the state department. Their
consultation was entirely informal, re-lating
to the programme .of subjects to
be discussed. The delegates to the con-ference
will assemble at the diplomatic
reception room in the state department
Wednesday morning at 11 o’clock and
be formally received by Secretar^,Blaine.
After that, there will be a reception at
the White House by the President and
Mrs. Harrison and then the conference
will probably oiganize. The organiza-tion
may be postponed till next day. It
is expected Admiral Franklin will pre-side
over the deliberations of the confer-ence.
TALMAGE'S TEMPLE.
BURNED TO THE GROUND E1ULY
SUNDAY MORNING.
Origin of the Fire Unknown—The United
Efforts of the Firemen Could Not
Save It—Particulars of the
Fire.
Brooklyn Tabernacle Burned.
New York, October 13.—The famous
Brooklyn Tabernacle, of which Rsv. T.
DeWitt Talmage, D. I)., is pastor, was
to-day, for the second time in its history,
totally destroyed by fire. At 2:16 a. m.
a policeman discovered flames issuing
from the small windows over the main
entrance, and rushing to the nearest sig-nol
box, he sent an alarm. The firemen
found the fire had assumed large propor-tions,
and additional alarms were sent
in. It became evident that the edifice
was doomed to destruction. It burned
like a tinder box, and the firemen, de-spairing
of saving it, directed their ef-forts
to adjoining property. Many of
the occupants of the neighboring dwell-ings
were already awake, and the police,
proceeded to arouse
THOSE WHO WERE SLEEPING .
The three-story frame structure. No. 363
Seherinerhorn street, adjoining the
church on the west side, was the first to
take fire, and No. 365, a similar struct-ure,
followed. No. 357 was also dam-aged.
On the west side of the church
the flames extended to two brick dwell-ings,
and on the opposite side of Scher-merhorn
street a row of three-story
brick dwellings, Nos. 333 to 343, suffered
from the intense heat. The window
glass was broken and the wood work
scorched. The residents of the neigh-borhood,
awakened either by the roar of
the flames or by .the pounding of the
police upon their doors, became fright-ened
and rushed out half dressed or in
their night clothes, and the police had
difficulty in assuring them they were in
no danger. Fortunately there was no
loss of life or limb. The police carried
out one old lady of 80 years from No. 357
and placed her in a house at a safe dis-tance.
All the other inmates were able
to care for themselves, but while the fire-men
and police worked l'or saving life or
property the doomed church building
was '
RAPIDLY BEING CONSUMED,
and in an hour’s time only the walls re-mained.
Dr. Talmage was on the scene
soon after the first alarm and did not
leave until he saw the edifice which had
been his pride laid in ashes. He then
returned sorrowfully home. All day to-day
crowds visited the spot. Nearly al 1
the members of the Tabernacle emigre-gation
received their first intimation of
the fire on rounding the adjacent corners
and being confronted by the blackened
walls and smouldering ruins. No church
services were held to-day, hut a notice
upon a tree at the corner of Third and
Seherinerhorn announced Sunday school
in the hall of the Young Men’s Christian
association, where about six hundred
teachers and scholars assembled in the
afternoon. Superintendent R. L. jolts
told them that the present was no time
to cry or mourn. A calamity had be-fallen
the church, and it was the duty of
all to work together until a new home
was built.
Killed ai8 vVlie,
St. Louis, October 14.—Henry Fritz, a
blacksmith hoarding at No. 14 South
Third street, notified his landlady be-tween
6 and 7 o’clock this morning that
his wife, Amelia, had just died of hemor-rhage
of the lungs. The police were
notified and on entering Fritz’s room,
the woman was found with one side of
her head crushed in and her body and
bed clothes besmeared with blood. One
corner of the stove was also bloody and
the indications are that Fritz and his
wife, both of whom had been drinking
heavily, had quarrelled and that Fritz
had thrown his wife against the stove
and killed her. Fritz was arrested and
the woman’s body taken to the morgue.
Electric Wires Must Go.
New York, October 14.—It has been
decided that all electric light wires above
ground must go. All companies doing
business in the city have got out injunc-tions
restraining the mayor from inter-fering
with their wires, but a way around
these injunctions has been discovered.
Under the laws of the state no injunction
can be served on the board of health
unless eight days’ notice has been given
and should the court this evening make
injunctions against the mayor the per-manent
board of health will take the
matter in hand and before eight days
have passed not a wire will be left above
ground. ,
White House Visitors.
Washington, October 14.—Gov. Hill
paid a visit to the White House this af-ternoon
at 2 o’clock and was received by
the President in his library. The mem-hers
and officers of the supreme court,
accompanied by Attorney General Miller
and Solicitor General Chapman, called
at the White House this afternoon and
was received by the President in the
blue parlor.
Fatal Boiler Explosion.
Bucyrus, O., October 14.—John How-ard,
engineer, Frank Reisor and Edward
Heinlen were instantly killed at 2 o’clock
this morning at Heinlen’s sorghum mill
by the bursting of a boiler. Cold water
was pumped into the boiler by mistake
of the engineer.
Re-Sentenced to Death.
New York, October 14.—In the court
of sessions of Brooklyn this morning
John Weil, alias John Greenwold, was
re-sentenced to be hung for the murder
of Lyman S. Weeks, the day being fixed
at December 6.
THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE
is unknown. The sexton denies the ru-mor
that fires had been lit yesterday in
the furnaces, and this explodes the de-fective
flue theory. Edison’s men were
in the building until5:3J p. m.yesterdav
arranging a new electric plant, and it is
thought that during the thunder shower
which prevailed during the night light-ning
had been carried into the building
by the wires which ran around the gal-lery
about on a level with where the
flames were first seen. The loss on the
church building, including the organ,
which is one of the finest in the country,
is $150,000. It is said to be covered by
insurance in a number of companies.
The building was of the Fourteenth een-tury
Gothic architecture, and was dedi-cated
February 22, 1874. It was of brick
with stone trimmings, with a frontage of
150 feet and a depth of 113, to which had
recently been added an extension sixty
feet wide and twelve deep. The seating
capacity was 2,800, and it was always
fully taxed at Sunday services. The pre-vious
structure, which was built of cor-rugated
iron, was destroyed by fire on
Sunday morning, December 22, 1872.
That fire was also of unexplained origin.
Cotton warehouse Burned.
Montgomery, Ala., October 14.—At 4
o’clock this morning fire was discovered
in the warehouse of Messrs. Marks &
Gayle. The file was confined to one
compartment of the warehouse contain-ing
1,000 bales of cotton and was soon
under control, hut not before great dam-age
was done to the cotton, which is
owned by different parties and much of
it entirely destroyed. The warehouse
and contents were almost fully covered
by insurance.
Weather Bulletin.
Washington, October 14.—A storm of
considerable intensity has developed off
the Atlantic coast. A velocity of fifty-six
miles is reported from Block Island.
The temperature has fallen in all dis-triets
except on the gulf coast. Forecast
until 8 a. in., Tuesday, for Eastern
Texas—Fair except light rain on the
gulf coast, cooler northerly winds.
