REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION-
The Republican National Conven
tion met at Minneapolis on Tuesday
and organized by electing Major Mc
Kinley chairman. The fight for the
Presidential nomination is between
Blaine and Harrison, with McKinley,
Reed, Alger and Sherman as possible
compromise candidates. Thursday
morning despatches state the situation
thus:
Minneapolis, June 8. Of the two
distinguished Americans who have
been so assiduously weighed by his
friends the past week for the presiden
tial nomination, neither one to night
seems to have assurance of sufficient
votes to effect a nomination.
The seeker after accurate informa
tion as to the relative standing of these
two candidates is compelled to discard
as extravagant and quiti misleading
the figures issued from the headquart
ers of each, and a careful analysis of
the expressed preference of . all the
delegations, together with a classifica
tion of the uncommitted delegates,
lows that the two leading candidates
-e each from twenty-five to fifty votes
tort of the nomination. The balance
,t power, if a ballot had been taken
to day, would have been found to have
rested with General Russell A.- Alger,
of Michigan, who would certainly have
received from fifty to sixty votes, and
thus prevented either of the leading
candidates from receiving the requisite
number for nomination.
DELEGATES DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED.
This is the tenth national conven
tion held in the history of the Re
publican party and is the end of the
fourth decade of the party which has
played such an important part in the
history of the American republic ; but
it can safely be asserted that the past
quarter of a century has never witness
ed a convention where there was such
a rapid subsidence of enthusiasm as is
noticeable here on the eve of the criti
cal day which should decide the con
test. All the ardor and enthusiasm and
irresistible conviction which the rank
and file of both forces have constantly
aispiayea to-aay are singihcantly absent
to night In the first place, the average
Republican has been deeply disappoint
ed at the verv leisure manner in uhirh
leading spirits of the convention lime
postponed the effectual business for
wnicn me delegates are called together
and the feeling that if the program of
delay succeeds, a ballot miy be taken to
morrow.
The leaders of the Blaine faction
are to-night contemplating a move
ment which is
A VERY BOLD PLAN
and which, if carried out, will be a
farewell greeting to the short lived
harmony and good feeling of the past
twenty-four hours, whatever its effect
may be in controlling the nomination.
They have agents carefully going
through the state delegations and se
lecting therefrom a list of delegates
.and alternates to the convention who
..are officeholders under Harrison.
ThL-y expect to compile this list and
add thetcto the names of all the ad
ministration office-holders who are on
the ground as helpers in the effort to
renominate the president and who are
not -delegates to the convention.
This list will be ostentatiously given
out art indication of the pernicious ex
ample that is being set by President
Harrison of th? effort oi an adminis
tration to perpetrate itself in power.
The Maine managers also insist with a
good deal of vigor that ex Senator In
gills, who has been unusually loyal, to
the president, has beei promised the
Rnssian mission. The Blaine people
'.tats this evening th.it it is not yet !'. j
cided that the name of their candidate
will be presented to the convention at !

ELAINE BE3IGNS.
HE TAKES A SUDDEN DEPARTURE FROM
THE CABINET.
Official and political circles were
startled last Satnrrl.iv nft prnnnn Yw
the announcement that Secretary of
Mate Jilaine had resigned, and that
the President had accepted his re
signation. Many were incredulous
until the following correspondence
was made public:
Department ok State.
- Washington, June 4, 189J.
To the President:
I respectfully beg leave to submit
my resignation of the office of Secre
tary of State of the United States, to
which I was appointed by you on the
5th of March, 1889.
The condition of public business in
the Depaitment of State justifies me
in requesting that my resignation may
1 - a t . 1 '
oc acccpieo immediately.
I have the honor to be,
Very Respectfully,
Your Obedient Servant,
James G. Blaine
Executive Mansion.
Washington, June 4, 1891.
To the Secretary of State j
Your letter of this date, tendering
your resignation of the office of Secre
tary of State of the United States,
has been received. The terms in
which you state your desires are such
as to leave me no choice but to accede
to your wishes at once.
Your resignation is therefore ac
cepted. Very respectfully yours,
Benj. Harrison.
Hon. James G. Blaine.
Blaine's Declaration of War
Mr. Blaine has resigned from Presi
dent Harrison's Cabinet. He has done
so in the curtest possible terms, and
his resignation has been accepted in
the spirit in which it was tendered.
There can be but one interpretation
of this act. It is a declaration of war.
It tears up the February letter. It an.
nounces Mr. Blaine as a candidate
against Mr. Harrison for the nomina.
tion at Minneapolis. It converts the
"Blaine Boom" from a mere spurt of
enthusiasm on the part of possibly in
discreet friends into a Titanic struggle
for the nomination.
What the outcome will be it would
be unsafe to predict. Mr. Blaine is
undoubtedly the choice of a great ma
jority of his party. But Mr. Harrison
is intrenched in possession. The del
egates have been elected with the un
derstanding that Blaine was "out of it."
There are many Harrison men in the
convention, therefore, who would not
be there if the present situation had
been foreseen.
Many delegates are instructed for
Harrison. But as the instructions were
given under the impression that Mr.
liiaini s name would not be presented
some may interpret them to be nothing
more than instructions to favor Harri
son as against anybody except Blaine.
Many delegates are office-holders and
these will serve their chief and bene
factor at all hazards.
There will be a strtlffplt? at Minnean.
olis of a deeper significance than is
often witnessed in a national convention.
And after? How much of bitterness,
how much of (lisaDDointment ami ri.
sentiment will be left behind?
1 his is not an ordinary break. It is
not a commonplace rivalry. It is civil
war in the Republican party.
Every Haraison man will regard Mr.
Blaine's course as disloyal and treach
erous. Every Blaine man will bitterly
resent such imputations.
It is a family quarrel with all that
the term implies. It is war of the
most determined kind, and the battle
at Minneapolis will not end it by any
means. Here beginneth, not endeth,
the lesson. World.
Why Our Women Fade.
Many grievous reasons confront me
as 10 "wnv our ,women lade," but I
shall touch unon onlv a few nf tV.
strongest, writes Felicia Holt in the
T T- 1. i rw
j une jaaiea Jiotm Journal. I look
at the many women of my acquain
tance i I see lines on brows which can
only be brought there by worry, and
"worry" I take to be one of the great
est foes to a woman's youth. .There
ars dolls to be sure, who never think,
work or act ; I do not here discuss such
creatures, but woman in her vocation
as a sentient being. In this country,
as in no other, do women have to
struggle in he effort to keep up an ap
pearance of great wealth they do not
possess. It is an age of monojxjlies,
and exeat fortunes are beint? ahsnrlwd
by the shrewd financiers; hence, many
iar more cultivated and retincd people
must retire, "forgetting the world, be
bv the world foruot." or undertake! a
struggle which ends only in the grave.
It would seem at the first an unworthy
strife, and so it is. not onlv unwortliv
but horribly degrading if entered into
wmi ine purpose ot vying with the
more fortunate for the mere nossession
of money; but alas, it represents to
i;ie lasmiio'.rs and well-born women all
that to which by nature she is justly
entitled : works of art, music, literature
and the outcome of the ages.

. DEATH A5D MM.
DESOLATION AT TITUS7ILLE AND
OIL CUT.
HEAVY LOSS CF LI?S ASS PSOrSSTT.
The oil regions of Pennsylvania were
visited by a disaster of fue and water
last Sunday, that is only eclipsed in the
history of this country by the niemor
able flood at Johnstown, just three
ye'rs ago. For nearly a month it has
been raining throughout western and
northwestern Pennsylvania almost in
cessantly, and for the past three or four
nays in the towns in the devastated re
gions, it has been very heavy. The
constant rains have converted the
small streams into raging torrents, so
that when the cloud burst came Sun
day the streams were soon beyohd
their boundaries, and the great body
of water came sweeping down Oil
creek to Titusville, which is eighteen
miles south of its source.
The Associated Press correspondent
was standing on Centre street, directly
in front of the Derrick office, and on
the approach to the Oil creek bridge.
1 he creek was a racing torrent, and
Centre street for one square was a sol
id mass of humanity, and 500 or more
people had approached this point of
vantage, watching the muddy waters
rolling by.
At about 11:30 upon the opposite
side of the stream a greenish fluid float
ing on the water was noticeable. This
increased rapidly in quantity and cov
ered almost entirely the yellow muddy
waters of the creek, A smell of gas
and oil was perceptible and several
gentlemen back of him were discussing
the danger should the oil catch fire.
Hardly were the words uttered when
about 200 yards up the stream a mass
of flames was seen to shoot heaven
ward. "Run" yelled a hundred voices
and the people turned like stampeded
cattle and started for the hills. Hardly
had they started when a terrific explo
sion rent the air and the entire creek
for hundreds of feet on each side
seemed one seething mass of flame
and smoke.
The panic-stricken crowd shrieked
madly in their efforts to escape. Wom
en and children were trampled under
foot, and about twenty were severely
bruised and had to be picked up by a
few of the cooler heads and carried
out of harm's way. Oil creek is not
usually more than a foot deep at this
point, where it empties into the Alle
gheny river, and about one hundred
yards wide. Directly at its mouth is
tne iron onoge 01 the isew vorK,
Pennsylvania and Ohio railroad. About ,
two squares further up the stream is
the iron and wooden bridge of the city
connecting the third ward with the
city proper.
On the cast side of of the creek is
Trinity Methodist church, on one side
of Centre street, and the Derrick of
fice and Oil Exchange opposite.
Across the creek and built up squarely
from the water's edge was the hotel
and livery stable of J. B. Reinbold,
and the furniture house of Paul Sons.
These buildings were built on a narrow
strip between the creek and the hills,
which ns.- precipitously back of them.
About half a mile from the post-office
northward, from here on the Western
New York and Pennsylvania railroad,
a lank filled with gasoline was standing
on a siding. Some young men noticed
tnat tne tank was leaking and know
ing its explosive nature and seeing a
shifting engine approaching ran up the
siue c-i ine nui, wnere they turned and
looking down as the engine passed wit
nessed a fearful sight, and a mass of
flames shot a hundred feet m the air
and the earth seemed to shake with
an awful tremor. The engineer and
fireman were seen jumping from the
cab and it is supposed at this writing
they were burned to death or killed by
ti e force of the explosion. In an in
stant the flames swept madly over the
entire upper part of the city, which
was flooded by the oil waters of the
creek, and men, women and children
who were moving from their houses
were caught by the deadly flames and
if not burned to death outright were
drowned in the raging flood.
It is almost impossible to find words
to describe the awful calamity and at
this time no one has any idea of the
number of lives that have been lost
For miles up the creek on both sides
everything is in ruins and hundreds of
families have been rendered homeless.
The fire came up so suddenly and so
unexpectedly that very little if any
property has been saved along this
stream.
When the two explosions occurred
this morning people were knocked
down by the force of the shocks and
every window for two squares along
Centre street was broken. Falling
glass added to the danger and several
people were slightly cut. One young
girl was picked up out of the mud of
the street after the crowd had passed
over her. She was badly bruised and
cut, but not seriously injured it is
thought. The panic at this time was
something awful and it was remarkable
that no one was killed by the horsee
and the wild mob, as it was a case of
everyone for himself.
Few of the spectators who were
watching the Hood when the explosions
occurred and who escaped ran give a
good idea of what happened. All agree
that there was a terrific explosion and
that the air wai filled with flames.
This was quickly followed by two other
explosions. Many thought that hell had
broken loose on earth, and they were
not apparently very far out of tiie way
Three gasoline tanks hail exploded al
most at the same time.
The oil on the creek blazed up, ,as
in the air burst into a roaring flame,
and sheets of water, land and air w ere
all literally ablaze. Men, women
and children were knocked prostrate
by the shock, and many nevtr arose.
The multitude fled with screams of
anguish for the high ground. In the
rush many of the weak were trampled
upon and badly injured. Some were
hurt by horses; other ran, leaped into
the water and were drowned. The
flames in the air quickly burned out
but they left huge volumes of black
smoke across the face of the heavens,
beneath which roared the fierce fire of
the burning oil upon the water. The
many submerged houses and shops
along the creek bottom were soon in
flame, and the silent fire of blazing gas
was succeeded by the cracking flames,
of burning homes. In many of these
houses the people were confined. They
could not escape for the fire. Within
sight of thousands who heard their pit
eous screams they burned to death or
leaped into the river, and there per
ished by both flood and fire.
Such a combined scene of destruct
ion by two terrible elements was seld
om witnessed upon this earth. It is
marvelous that from this valley of
death any were saved alive. It is
strange that out of this mingling of
fire and flood any houses were spaied.
The story told by Harry McVeagh
a member of a rescuing party which
saved a dozen lives, surpasses in horror
many of those related by persons who
worked only in bringing corpses out of
ruins, and his words indicate that he
believes many of those saved alive
would be belter with the dead, they are
so horribly wounded and burned. He
tfith Wade Huling, William Couch
and Albeit Smith, rowed about the
creek in a skiff after the fire had died
off its surface, and reaching foot-bridge
crossing, at the head of Seneca street,
they found eleven burned person cling
ing to anything they could catch hold
of, in a last desperate struggle for life.
Mrs. Harriet A. Marble, of Pough-
keepsie, N, Y., was for years a martyr
to headache, and never found anything
to give her more than temporary relict
until she began to take Ayers Pills,
since which she has been in the en
joyment of perfect health.
If it Should he Cleveland and Blaine
With Mr. Cleveland and Mr. Blaine
as 01 posing candidates in 189a, the
issue would be largely personal as it
was in 1SS4, Dut upon different grounds.
I he issue would be enthusiasm for
Mr. Blaine as against confidence in
Mr. Cleveland. But it would be im
possible to interpret the result of the
election as a popular verdict upon pro
tection. Mr. .Hiscock resarded the
