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. Glory is made at Quincy, 111., and is conceded the finest brand of flour man-ufactured in the United States. Every sack guaranteed by W. S. Heard. 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. O. C. McCulloch’s cream patent flour took first premium, whitest, lightest and most wholesome biscuit at the Me- Gregor fair. New crop molasses first of the season, at W. K. Finks & Co.

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.

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.
