Th" IBt of dead now number thirteen. Six

all re --ignition. All were carri<*d to the dead
house and placed in boxes to await ; he arrival
of the .coroner. As aeon as all danger to the
survivors was over, Dr. Richardson, the phy
sicia;' ;n < liarge of the insane department, bi
ga: »* ear< h for tha missing. The bcxlies in
the dead house accounted for thirteen, while
in the rJc-j * tl were eight sufferers who had
been Larned or wounded. The saddest of all
the scenes ..as iu the clinic room, into wbkb

Okl men, shivering with fear, wrapped tl ■ :

In the hospital, where one man lay suffer

B'kexi his name. “I don’t know,” was the only
reply he wou’d give. A second, who w&-

while a third stared blankly at his questioner.
The firemen will continue to search among
the 111 ins. which, it is believed, still contain
fi. teen d< ad b< dies. It is thought that nom
of those on tl e third floor escaped.

BAYARD HESITATES.
HIS DECISION MAY DEPEND ON THE
OTHER SELECTIONS,
o
A Chat with the Great Drlaw arvaii The
Difficulties of Choosing x- Secretary of
the Treasury—A Possible Recast
of the Cabinet—Gossip.
Washington, Feb. 14.—Sei itor Bayard is
cons d ?mg whether he wants ro go into the
cabinet or not, and spends a g\ id deal of his
time in his committee nx>m consulting with
ins democratic associates.
A democratic senator says: “I can tell 1
something about the Bayard situation.
What is true of him is probably true of a
number of other democrats who have Ixmmi
talked of in connection with the cabinet. Mr.
Bayard has a number of reasons for hesitaV
ing. If he goes into the cabinet Im
makes a sacrifice. He can only go
there in obedience to what he considers a
(•all of duty. But he must know’ in ad
vance who are going to lie his cabinet associ
ates. Jt will not do for him to go in with an
association of gentlemen who will outate
him from the start. Neither do. he want to
set up his idms as an absolute standard He
believes it pn -fible, however, Li find plenty
of democrats who an' in general accord w ith
him upon questions relating to public policy.
1 do not think that ?4r Bayard cares nnvh
about the position of secretary of state. He
does not think that there is very much in it.
He certainly wall never accept that position
until he knows who is going to be secretary of
the treasury.”
“What is the principal question involved
in the selection of a secretary of the treasury f’
“It is ibis. Mr. Bayard, you know, is a
revenue reformer of the same type as Speaker
Car lisle. He does not believe in any sweeping
changes, but he is very positive iu his convic
tion* about the reform of the present tariff
system. He and his associate revenue-reform
ers think that it is of vital irnpor lance that
the secrei ary of the treasury should be of their
way of thinking. McDonald would suit them.
But there Ls some objection to him, and the
name of Alexander Mitchell, of Wisconsin,
is mentioned as a compromise can
didate. Mitchell is a very rich man
and has profound business experience. He
believes in a reform of thetariff. But the
selection of Mitchell would involve in a
measure a recast of the cabinet. It would of
necessity throw out VilAs. The throwing out
of Vilas would involve other ciraugeH. It
might be possible in the arrangement of the
< abmet to put in the state de[>art.ineni
and Bayard in the treasury. Then Garland
would take the attorney generalship, Whitney
would g • into the navy dej>arDnent and Vilas
into th war department McDonald would
t hen make a good secretary of the interior,
and M' < firilan would still lie iu line for the
I»ostmaster geaeratonip. Or, again, Whit
ney could take the poetoffice department ami
McClellan th* navy. Cleveland thinks a great
deal of McClellan, and would like to have him
in his cabinet family.
“I am sure that Ijamar and Garland would
lx? as fastidious as is Mr. Bayard in de Ing
to know iu advance exactly what Mr. (’leve
land intended to do so far as his entire cabinet
|is concerned. The revenue reformers think
that the republican party is the party of pro
tection anl that Mr. Cleveland's cabinet
should repr» sent the opposite of tins idea.”
| Senator Bayard does not formally deny that
he ha- received a communication from Mr.
Cleveland upon the subject of a cabinet offer,
but he says that he bad received no dispatch
of any kind from Mr. Cleveland. In speak
ing of Mr. Cleveland he said: “Naturally
the president-elect has not felt free to make
any offers to anyone until the count was of
ficially made by congress There liave boon
so many prooslents of trouble and uncer
tainty m the past that it was lie b-r for him
to w a *>as to lie sure of possession before
he could a kto any one of helping hirn. Now
I si.ppose he will feel free. He has naturally
d'-itAred more time than if he had been per
fectly familiar with public men.”
Mr. Bayard was asked if be did not think
rervice in the senate was preferable to any
position in any cabinet. “Yes,” said Mr.
; Bayard, “I think the position of senator is
one greatly t> >be preferred to any under the
government. The senate is a great field.
There any man, however great his capabili
ties, may find ample opportunity to exert his
full powers. But lam not given to over
mystery about myself or my plans. I pre! er
to meet questions plainly and simply. There
need be no -qpeculations about me. If people
really knew me they would find that my am
bition is the farthest from any mere office
holding. My desire is simply to serve
where I may be most useful." Jt was dear to
infer from this that if Mr. Bayard thought lie
could be of more service to the country by
leaving the senate he would rink at once all
questions of (personal preference and go.
Mr. Bayard was asked what he thought of
the g 1 dp alpout the revenue reformers mak
ing certain requests looking to the shaping of
the policy of the new administration. He
said in reply to this tliat he thought this talk
was mainly speculative. The cause of reve
nue reform was one that was very Dear to
him. It was inevitable that some of tlie jk>-
tent enormities of the tariff system should
receive attention. It was clear* that, any pub- i
lie man looking towards the future could not
ignore the serious questions involved in the
reformation of certain well known and now
generally concc<led abuses.

FORCING SOCIALISTS TO JOIN IN THE
DYNAMITE WAR.

Agitators in America— They book
for a Reign of Terror.
1 Pitt.sbvrc, I' 'h, 14.—“ Some people who
know more nb - this matter than I do,” said
a well known < dacturer, “have told me
that this iu.; . • r 1 k, who talks so openly of
1 arms and d> i.amite in Pittsburg, is only a
I crank. They say he is not trust 'd in the an
archist organization, and that he fi.is no influ
! ence among them. This may be true, but 1
> cam ot forget that this man talked in the same
way just before the riots of 1877.”
’ A man who is a socialist, but a national
: one. and who does not believe in dynamite
I and miscellaneous murder, was asked several
1 questions, which ho refused to answer at first,
■ but persistent nagging drew forth the follow
: ing story:
H “To quote my name or to indicate who I
1 am would he to render me a target for the
’ : abuse and purtuqis the vengeance of the radi-
I cals. 1 will tell something which I think
1 I oirrht to lie known, for murder and anarchy
I are the deadlie.fi foes of Ihe true socialist and
the honest workingman.
“hi the first place, I know that the anarch-
■ ists of this city are being rapidly armed, some
with rii os, some with revolvers. Some of
• these guns came from Chicago some years ago.
i A well-armed and well-drilled body of anarch
tris existed in Pittsburg and Allegheny. Their
monev gave out and they sank out of sight,
1 but their weapons in nearly every instance
were preserved and kept- in a state of readi
-5 D(‘ss for use. Some of the men who were in
• that body of drilled men are in those which
are now training.”
‘ “ What has stirred up the present anarchist
movement?”
“There are several causes. The principal
one is the successful outcome of the series of
plots which have alarmed the whole civilized
world. The present; boom—your American
word expresses the idea i»erfeetly—can lx? said
to have begun with the killing ol Alexander
i of Russia. The success of subsequent nihilistic
I plots agai?ist los important individuals have
given the anarchists confidence. Then came the
Irish d \ namiters, who were able to esr-ape af
i h r blow-ng up places in various parts of Eng
land. 'This gave the anarchists encourage
ment. No one who has never hoard these
> mon talk can form an idea of the manner in
i whit'h they a’v ’lout ing over the work done
‘ in London. Nearly all of them are wise enough
to kiik only in a general commendatory way iu
I pui r , but in irioithey are more specific,
i They are wildly exultant.
“They say tha a new reign of terror has
begun, and that ihe unemployed laliorers, of
wlioiu there are thousands in the country,
will in a short time turn from the coiitein
-1 pintion of a tarving wife and children to the
dynamite bomb and the rifle. They have
• groi\ n bolder in this country. Look at the
> work done in the Hocking valley. Noone
• for an instant supposes that the coal
- miners who went into a strike against a giant
‘ corporation had anything to do with the de-
- si r'iot,ion of property I here. The burning of
coal mines and the other dost recti on of the
mining companies’ property was the work of
‘ anai*••Lists. Herr Most, is no coal miner, and
’ ho had his finger in the pie. 1 have heard
• that Iwo Pittsburg anarchists were among
J those who planne I the work and took part in
it I have not t i ied to find out whether Hus
‘ is tree or not, for it is not wise for a num to
■ know too much about this business.
‘ “It is certainly tru* that a large jxirtion of
I the socialists of Pittsburg ai . dejau ting from
their cornpai alively conservative position and
’ are acting with the anarchists. This is some
’ thing which lulh taken pin-*e within a tx-mjiar
ativelv short time. ihe men who have
’ chair ■• i then* minds are those who think that
a : »piif <s time for -h outbreak is rJ> >ut to
arrive. > hism men are making it unpleasant
• for conservative socialists, aid are thus trying
1 to force them to join with them.”
‘ Minneapolis, Feb. IL—A reporter on
Thursday overheard dynamite sympathizers
discu ing a plan to blow up the Afinnea|>oliß

head miller of the Pittsburg “A” mill had re
ceived arming that the mill is to be blown tc
atoms. He repori<ri that several of his
