those of children. It is known that many
larg“ families of children were swept away
and the supposition is that being small and
light their bodies have been carried down
the river by the flood. Generous contri
butions are oomiug forward. The relief
committee has f 12,000 in hand, bat it has
need for much more.
THE DEATH LIST GROWING HOURLY.
Pittsburg, Pa., June 6, 1 p. m.—The
following was received at noon:
Oil Citt. Pi., June 8, 1892.
IT. C. Conelly , Jr., Lieutenant Colonel A. D.
C . Pittsburg:
You can report to the governor that the loss
of life becomes hourly more apparent. Sixty
three bodies have been recovered. Several
were seen adrift in the river, and with the sub
sidence of the flood many more will undoubtedly
be found. Over 100 families are homeless. The
pecuniary loss is estimated at from $900,000 to
$1,200,000, The utmost good order prevails. At
my request Col. Hulings ordered out Company
I) of the Sixteenth regiment last night to pre
serve order in case of need.
W. G. Hunt, Mayor.
At a citizens'meeting held here this after
nooti it was decided to send a committee to
the oil regions to administer relief to the
unfortunate inhabitants in the stricken dis
trict. The gentlemen appointed left for
Oil City this afternoon on a
special train, carrying with them
$3,500 in currency subscribed by
Pittsburgers. Complete arrangmonts
have been made for the transportation of
all supplies to the sufferers, and nothing is
being left undone to render aid generously
without delay.
THE DESTRUCTION AT TITUSVILLE.
Titusville, Pa„ June 6, 11 a. m.—
Never in the history of Titusville has such
a scene of destruction presented itself as
was unfolded to the gaze this morn ing as
an Associated Press representative entered
the main thoroughfare. The first sight wit
nessed was four men carry lug the dead
body of a man on a stretcher. Within fif
teen minutes the sight became so common
that it ceased to occasion any surprise. At
the present writing it is estimated
that fully 100 persons have been either
drowned or burned to death. The money
loss will run from $1,500,000 to $3,Q()!),0J0.
An idea of the amount of the territory cov
ered by the flood and fire can be obtained
when it is stated that property covering
over two miles has been destroyed. This
includes raiiroids, factories, refineries, pri
vate dwellings, etc.
Up to noon to-day fifty-six bodies had
been found and taken to,the morgue here.
Many are totally unrecognizable. There is
no communication by rail w ith Oil City,
and travel through the country is almost
impossible, because the only bridges left
standing are a few iron railroad bridges.
THE WORK OF RELIEF.
Harrisburg, Pa., June 6. —Gov. Patti
son has issued a proclamation, recommend
ing to the citizens of Pennsylvania prompt
action for the relief of their fellow citizens,
and requesting and directing all citizens,
societies, committees and agencies desiring
to aid in this work to put themselves in
communication with the authorities of
Titusville and Oil City.
ALL.KG2.D NEGRO OUTRAGES.
Attorney General Miller Defends Him
self from Langston’s Charge.
Washington, June 6.— Attorney General
Miller’s attention was to-day called to the
report of a speech of John M. Langston ia
Chicago on the evening of June 3. In tbs
report of that speech in the Chioago Inter
Ocean it is said: “It was charged by the
speaker against the Attorney General
that he bad not instituted a
single prosecution against perpetrators
of negro outrages in the south,
although the caso of the colored railway
mail clerk who was taken from a mail car
and lynched had been specially reported to
him.” Mr. Miller said: “Nosuch case was
ever reported to the department of justice,
and, as I believe, no such lynching ever oc
curred. So far as lam able to recall, the
only attack upon a lailway mail clerk re
ported to the department slnoe I became
Attorney General was one made on F. G,
Blivens, a young colored man, near the
town of Aberdeen, Miss., ou March 30, 1800.
In that case four young men, thinking
it not allowable for a colored man
to run as a railway mall olerk
on the Illinois Central railroad,
fired several shot into the mail ear, none of
them, however, hitting Blivens. The
United States district attorney promptly
Instituted an investigation and bad four
young men Indicted. Three of them were
convicted on pleas of not guilty and one on
a plea of guilty. Two were sentenced to
the penitentiary for three years and one to
imprisonment for six months and to pay a
fine of SSOO. The one who pleaded guilty
■was let off easilv. If Langston knows of
any other case than this he certainly ean
and should give the name, time and
place. The trouble with Langston
and with others who complain that
the federal government does not prosecute
wrong inflicted upon colored men is that
they fail to realize that under the construc
tion of the constitutional amendments by the
supreme court the wrongs complained of
are generally not violations of federal
rights and consequently prosecutions there
fore cannot be sustained iu the federal
courts or by the federal government.”
HAHRISON AT A BiLL GAME.
Neither He Nor Blaine,Show Any Ex
citement Over Politics.
Washington, June 2.—President Harri
son and Secretaries Foster and Rusk at
tended the Cincinnati-Washington base ball
match this afternoon and enjoyed the game
very much. The President seems to be
awaiting the result of the convention with
equanimity and has not made the least
change in his usual official routine. The
telegraph office on the upper floor was open
for several hours, aud a number of telegrams
were received from friends in Minneapolis.
Mr. Blaine passed the day quietly at home
and appeared to be in excellent condition.
He manifested no concern whatever over
the political situation.
RUSK HOLDS ALOOF.
He Will Not Allow His Name to Be
Ussd to Hurt Harrison.
Washington, June 6. —A representative
of the Associated Press waited upon Secre
tary Rusk this morn m 2 to ascertain, if pos
sible, whether there was any truth in the
statement as published in morning: papers
that an effort had been made to induce him
to allow the use of his name for second
place on the presidential ticket. “There is
no truth in the statement whatever,” said
the secretary, adding emphatically: “My
name cannot be uaed either singly or in
combination against the President. No
friend of mine would suggest such use.”
Purchases of Silver.
Washington, June 6. —The offers of sil
ver to the treasury department to-day ag
gregated 605,(XHJ ounces. The amount pur
onaeed was 463,090 ounces at 88.92@59
cents.
Tillman Clubs Ruled Out.
Columbia, 8. C., June 6. —The county
executive committee of Richland county
to-day refused to recognize Tillmanile
clubs, as recommended by the state con
vention in settling a contest. The Tillman
clubs were not recognized at the Richland
convention, and the point of order was
raised that the executive committee had no
right to override the convention by seating
delegates from clubs which were emphati
cally ruled out by the county convention.
The Tillman clubs promise to be hoard from
again.
Death in a Collision.
Louisville, Kv., June 6. —Near South

negroes were killed. Twenty-five were in

GEORGIA’S TEETOTALERS.
THE PROHIBITION STATE CONVEN
TION TO MEET TO-DAY.
A Strong Probability of the Nomina
tion of Hon. Walter B. Hill for Gov
ernor—Sam Small a Candidate for
the Congressional Nomination for the
Fifth District—The’ Delegates to the
National Convention.
Atlanta, Ga., June 6.—The prohibition
state convention will meet to-morrow in
the hall of the House of Representatives.
The convention will be called to order by
Dr. J. O. Perkins of this city, chairman of
the prohibition state exeoutive committee.
It is expected that there will be about 150
delegates present, as nearly every county in
the state has promised to be represented at
the meeting.
The first business will be the selection of
delegates to the prohibition national con
vention, wbioh meets iu Cincinnati on Juoe
29 and 30. The delegates who will probably
be selected are Walter B. Hill of Macon,
Mr. Sibley of Augusta, Mr. Reppard of
Savannah, Prof. Scomp of Oxford, and Dr.
J. O. Perkins of Atlanta.
\ new state executive committee will be
elected.
The important issue of the convention
will be the advisability of putting out a
ticket for all offices in the state. In view of
the dissatisfaction that exists in this dis
trict with Col. Livingston, the congress
man, and in view of the third party move
ment, the prohibition leaders think that the
chances are excellent for slipping in a pro
hibition congressman from the Fifth,
W. B. HILL FOR GOVERNOR.
There is a very strong probability that
Hon. Walter B. Hill of Maoou will be put
in the gubernational race by the conven
tion. This will make a three-cornered
division In the ranks of the Democratic
party. Gov. Nortben will, of course, be
the nominee of the democracy. He will be
opposed by Col. Ellington or some other
third partyite, who will draw his strength
from the ranks of the old democracy. Then
if the prohibitionists pit Mr. Hill or some
other man in the field the ranks of the old
party will be still further sapped. Such a
complication would and mbtless* rejuvenate
the carcass of the republican organization
In Georgia and a fourth Richmond would
enter the field. In view of the danger of
such a state of affairs a heavy influence
will be brought to bear on the convention
to-morrow to prevent the' nomination of a
state ticket.
BAM SMALL’S LITTLE GAME.
Rev. Sam Small’s recent performances
throughout the distriot have created a strong
belief that he will he a candidate for con
gress. He claims allegiance to democratic
principles, while he is a member of the Pro
hibition party. Rev. Small is aware that
he cannot get a nomination from either the
democracy or the People’s party, and his
plan evidently is to secure the indorsement
of to-morrow’s prohibition convention and
then run as an independent democratic pro
hibitionist. But the prohibitionists have
caught on to Rev. Small’s little game, and
already, before the convention meets, a hot
fight is being beguu on him. The conven
tion promises to he lively so far as the Rev.
Sam Small is concerned.
CAMP NORTHEN’S FLAG UP.
The Troops of Middle Georgia to Begin
Their Week To-day.
Griffin, Ga., Juno 6.—The rising of the
sun to-morrow morning will find things
astir at Camp Northern The first troops
who will reach camp will be the Spalding
Greys of Griflio, who will march out about
daylight. They will be followed, on the
arrival of the 6 o'olock train, by the For
syth, Perry, Amerious and Milledgeville
companies. Tne Macon companies will
come over the East Tennessee, Virginia
and Georgia and the Georgia Midland and
Gulf roads, arriving at 9 o’clock. The Co
lumbus company will be the last to arrive,
reaching the camp at 9:30 o’clock. The
grounds have been cleaned of rubbish and
trash, and if those soldiers who were here
last week could come back again they
would hardly know the plaoe. This
work has been done by Acting
Quartermaster L. H. Kenan. Quartermaster
idea. West was here to-day and savs all
the officers who were in camp the first’week
have written him enthusiastically indors
ing Camp Northen at a model place and
very healthy. He has secured two guns
from the Atlanta Artillery to be used as
signal guns and for use on governor’s day.
The troops will tie reviewed on Friday and
on that day a sham battle will probably
take place. Col. West would not Bay posi
tively that the sham battle would take
place,but said it was being considered favor
ably. The abutment of the rifle range is
now about completed, so there will be no
danger iu shootiug.
START OF THE BLUES.
Milledgeville, Ga., June 6.—The
Baldwin Blues will leave to-morrow morn
ing for Camp Northen with about torty
men, commanded by its able young cap
tain, D. 8. Sanford.

of Pilot: "What I have written, I have
written.”
TO STICK TO HILL.
The Saratoga Delegatee Vote to Stick
to the Senator.
New York, June 6. —Pursuant to a call,
the delegates to the demooratio national
convention met here this evening. Chair
man Murphy called the meeting to order
aDd on the roll call seventy delegates, or iu
one or two instances alternates represent
ing delegates, responded to their names.
Senator Hill was the only conspicuous ab
sentee. Secretary Charles Detreest read
the following resolution, offered by Gen.
Henry W. Slocum:
Rtsolved. That we. the regularly elected dele
gates to the democratic convention, do reaffirm
our pledge to present the name of D. B. Hill as
our candidate for President, and be it
Retolvni. That we will vote for nim until he
is nominated, or as long as he will permit his
name to go before the convention.
The reading of the resolution was re
ceived with great applause and the calling
of the roll was begun. Gov. Flower was
the first name called and he voted yae. The
only break in the list of affirmative votes
wos that of Benjamin Wood of this city,
who voted no. The result was that the
resolution was adopted by a vote of
69 to 1. The members of the committee
were appointed on resolutions, credentials
and permanent organization. The situation
was ditcussed in a most harmonious man
ner and the meeting adjourned to meet at
Chioago on the Friday morning preceding
the convention. The decided Hill atmos
phere bracod the spirits of hundreds of pol
iticians who have been waver,ng in their
confidence of the ability of Mr. Hill to hold
the delegation.
OSBOON AT THE POLLS.
Two Congressmen and State Officers
Voted For.
Portland, Ore.. June 6. —The election
in this state to-day for two congressmen, a
supreme court judge, attorney general and
members of the legislature has been the
m*>st orderly in the history of the state, ow
ing to the new ballot law. It is probable
that the full vote has not beon polled.
Not many returns have been reoeived. It
is generally conceded that the People’s party
will cast one-sixth of the entire vote of the
state, and from the best information oh
taiued it is thought that they will draw
from democrats and republicans iu about
equal proportions.
THE MORNING NEWS: TUESDAY, JUNE 7, 1892.
A RUSH IN THE HOUSE.
Important Results Achieved in the
Absence of the Republicans.
Washington, June 6.—The two-thirds
democratic majority la the House took the
bite in its teeth to-day and rushed business
through under a suspension of rules at a
rate which would make ex-Speaker Reed
green with envy. The anti-options bill, the
legislative appropriation bill, the
admission of New Mexico and Arizona ns
states, the order for conference reports on
the river and harbor a <1 the naval appro
priation bills, this is a record of the day’s
work and Mr. McMillin, the democratic
leader, promptly followed It up with a
resolution that congress adjourn at 2 o’clock
on the Fourth of July. The rate at which
business was dispatched to-day will make
such an adjournment possible, or throw the
odium of prolonging the session npou the
republican Senate.
TIRED of dilly-dallying.
The democratic leaders evidently felt that
the House had been dilydallying long
enough and the way to elect Mr. Cleveland
Is to go home with the record they have
ma le. Free coinage has had the life crushed
out of it, two prosperous territories have
bten admitted as far as the House can do it
to the privileges of statehood, and three
tariff bills have been sent to the Senate.
Upon this record the leaders can safely ap
peal to the country, A few more tariff
bills may be passed when the national con
ventions are over and the House will be
ready to adjourn. If the Senate in the
meantime has deliberately refused to allow
the tariff bills to oome up which passed the
House months ago it will rest with the
senators to decide whether they will keep
congress in session for the sake of a fair
debate on the bills or take an early adjourn
ment without considering them.
DETAILS OF THE PROCEEDINGS.
By the Associated Press.
Washington, Juno 6.—la the House to
day, immediately after the reading of Sat
urday’s journal, Mr. Hatch was reoognized
and moved to suspend the rules and pass the
anti-options bill.
The opponents ot tbe bill could not gather
sufficient force to do more than occasion
slight delay by parliamentary tactics. Mr.
Cummings demanded a second and it was
ordered.
Then Mr. Culberson of Texas endeavored
to have tbe time of debate extended, but
that failed. The debate was confined to
one minute speeches, and, after thirty min
utes discussion, Mr. Hatch’s motion was
agreed to—yeas 168, nays 46; and accord
ingly tbe bill was passed.
THE ARTICLES INCLUDED.
The first two section- of the bill define
“options” and “futures;” the third names
as articles to which they shall relate, “cot
ton. hops, wheat, corn, oate, rye, barley,
grass seed, flax seed, pork and other edible
products of swine,” and the fourth imposes
a license of SI,OOO on dealers In options and
futures and a tax of 5 cents on each pound
of cotton, hops, pork, lard, bacon and other
edible produots of swino and 20 cents a
bushel on each bushel of the other articles
which are the subject of any options or fut
ures oontract which such dealer or vender
shall make either in lus own behalf or on
behalf of others.
Instantly Mr. Blanchard of Louisiana
was on his feet and was recognized by the
speaker.
Mr. Cooper of Indiana interposed a
motion to adjourn, but the speaker stated
that he had not been recognized. Because a
gentleman rose and asked for recognition
was no reason why he should be recognized.
A RIVER AND HARBOR CONFERENCE.
Thereupon Mr. Blanchard moved to sus
pend the rules, to non. concur in tbe Senate
amendments to the river and harbor appro
priation bill and to agree to a oonferenoe.
About the same programme was gone
through with this motion as with Mr.
Hatch’s. Mr. Holman demanded a second
and it was ordered by a vote of 155 to 13.
Then after a brief debate Mr. Blanchard’s
motion was ooncurred in bv a vote of 146
to 59 and Messrs. Blanchard, Catching* and
Henderson ot Illinois were appointed con
ferees.
On motion of Mr. Herbert of Alabama
the Senate amendments to the naval appro
priation bill ware nou-ooneurred in aud a
conference was ordered, Messrs. Herbert,
Elliott and Boutelle being appointed con
ferees.
Then by similar legislative proeees the
House paseed the bill appropriating $50,000
for a pedestal for a monument to the late
Geu. William T. Sherman; the bill admit
ing New Mexioo as a state, with only three
negative votes, and the bill admitting
Arizona as a state, the vote being 174 to l£
The republicans were unable to muster
sufficient foroe to order a second on the New
Mexioo bill.
One bill failed to get through on this
rush. Mr. Richardson of Tennessee moved
to suspend the rules and pass the bill repeal
ing the statute which imposes a tax of 10
per cent, on the circulation of all other
than national banks. Tills was defeated—
yeas 85, nays 117.
Mr. Korney of Alabama moved to sus
pend the rules and pass the legislative ap
propriation bill.
HENDERSON ATTACKS THE COMMITTEE.
The reading of the bill consumed close to
two hours when Mr. Henderson of lowa de
manded a second. The second haying been
ordered, Mr. Henderson made a fierce attaok
upon the committee on appropriations in
cutting down the necessary appropriations,
but he said that it was not the committee
on appropriations, but the democratic cam
paign committee of 1892 that demanded it.
[Applause.] The democrats were sacrificing
their country in order to deceive the people.
Mr. Payne of New York elicited great
applause by his query, “ What has become
of the sacred rights of the minority so
eternally called for by the democrats of the
last House?” With 140 majority, when Us
own party press had lashed it and lashed
It, to go home and give the Democratic
party a chance this fall, now, on June 6,
the democrats were in such haste that they
w ere willing to pass a bill appropriating
$150,000,000 aud put it through under the
spur of the two-thirds rule. [Applause on
the republican side.] Tne bill was then
passed amid democratic applause,
Mr. McMillin of Tennessee introduced a
concurrent resolution for final adjournment
of congress on Monday, July 4, at 2 o’clock.
The resolution was referred.
The House then adjourned, having sat
continuously until 8 o’clock aud transacted
more business than on any previous day of
the session.
SESSION OF THE SENATE.
Mr. Vest Makes a Speech on the Free
Wool Bill.
"Washington, June 6. —The consular and
diplomatic appropriation bill was laid tie
fore the Senate this morning but was tem
porarily laid aside in order to permit Mr.
Vest to address the Senate on the resolution
heretofore introduced by him to discharge
the finance committee from further con
sideration of the bill to place wool on the
free list aud to bring it before the Senate
for action.
a strong argument,
Mr. Vest argued for over three hours to
prove that the McKinley tariff act was a
monstrous fraud, operating not for the
benefit of the farmers, wool raisers or con
sumers of the United States, but for the sole
benefit of the manufacturers, who, by a
system of trusts, prevented competition and
kept up the prices of their goods. The first
part of his speech was devoted to the silver
question, the argument being that, although
free coinage is in accordance with the popu
lar demand, and because it was right and
proper, it was not and should not lie
made an issue iu the presidential
campaign. The real issue, he said, was
tariff reform. In discussing that question
Mr. Veit asserted that it was Mr. Blaine’s
reciprocity policy that had hr light him
to-day to the front of the Republican party
and that would secure to him that party’s
nomination to the presidency. And yet
the amusing part of it to him (Mr. Vest)
was the claim that there was anything new
in the principle of reciprocity. He an
nounced that no bad no particular candi
date for the democratic nomination, but
that he would not support any man who
was not known to ho absolutely opposed to
the present system of taxation.
About a dozen democratic senators listened
to the speech from beginning to end, but on
the republican side of the chamber only Mr.
Allison and Mr. Mitchell appeared to pay
any attention to it, and these two senates
occasionally got into a colloquy with Mr.
Vest. Fart of the time the republican sec
tion of the chamber was absolutely deserted.
No action was taken on Mr. Vest’s resolu
tion and no other business was taken up.
