tricate mass with broken timbers and
falling plaster, while the people for
blocks around thought an earthquake had
occurred and niBhed to the scene. The
fire was quickly extinguished by the de-
partment. The two workmen in the base-
ment were found to be very badly injur-
ed, and three or four clerks in the store
above injured. One of them, George
Dunlap, when the explosion occurred was
standing on the hot air register and was

INDIANA DEMOCRATS NOMINATE A FULL
STATE
tngulle Will Reply.
Washiogton, April 20.—Ingalls gave
notice that on Tuesday next he would re-
ply to the attacks on him yesterday in
his absence by Senator Voorhees, and
would call attention to the singular
omissions by that senator in his defense
of the present administration, its attitude
toward veterans and toward pension leg-
islation.
The House.
Washington, April 36.—The senate
bill was passed for the relief of the
Omaha tribe of Indians in Nebraska, and
to extend the time of payment to pur-
chasers of the land of said Indians.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the tariff bill.
Buchanan, of New Jersey, opposed the
bill which he said struck a blow at every
industry in his district, lie denounced
in general and in detail the provisions of
the bill.
Hemphill, of South Carolina, said he
could not conceive a system more unjust,
unreasonable, unfair and unrighteous
than the protective system. He earnestly
appealed to every gentleman who had
the faintest conception of justice to lend
bis aid to the pending bill.
Osoorn, of Pennsylvania, submitted
argument against the bill which he char-
acterized as a blow against the dignity of
American labor. He protested in the'name
of Pennsylvania against the passage of a
bill which would destroy its industries,
impoverish its farmers, and degrade its
aborers.
Wudd, of Wisconsin, denied that the
boasted system of protection had indeed
protected American labor.
The committee rose and the house took
a recess until 8 p. m., the evening session
to be for debate on the tariff bill.
Sayers, of Texas, addressed the huuse
at its evening session in general commen-
dation of the Mills tariff bill. The bill,
he said, was a step in the right direction,
and if passed would be so much gained
in the effort to relieve the people from
as an oppressive and unequal a burden
as had ever been imposed Wy a represen-
tative government in modern times. The
house at 9:10 adjourned.
Houae of Commons.
London, April 35.—In the commons
to-day on motion for a second reading of
the Irish county bill, a spirited debate
too'.c place. Sir Charles Lewis, conserv-
ative, and others contended that the bill
was incorrectly framed and had been in-
troduced at the wrong time.
Gladstone to do Ireland justice said
the proper method of amending public
business was to commence not -vith local
but with the central constitution,
Balfour opposed the bill and said as
long as the present acute controversy ex-
isted the parliament could not extend
locp.l government to Ireland.
Lord Randolph Churchil! said the gov-
ernment pledged themselves to extend
loyal liberty to Ireland, that the pledge
was the foundation of the unionist party,
and the only platform on which they
could resist the repeal. There Was no
sufficient interpretation of the govern-
ment's policy.
Chamberlain said he was opposed to
the bill because the Irish and English
local government questions could not be
dealt with at the same session. The bill
was then rejected, 383 to 105.
Lord Randolph Churchill's speech in
the parliament to-night created a sensa-
tion and was a matter of surprise to the
members of all parties. It is admitted
that the proceedings of the week in par-
liament have been damaging to the gov-
ernment. When a division was taken on
Carcw's motion, Lord Randolph Churchill
and several conservatives and unionists
left the house in order to avoid voting.
Two unionists supported the bill together
with Gladstone and his followers. The
;overnment, had the support of Lord
lartington Chamberlain and four union-
ists.

pany.

Investigating the Brewers' Lookout.
New York, April 26.—The state board
of education and arbitration met hero to-
day and began an investigation into the
brewers' lockout. The bosses denied
the board had the power to investigate
their private affairs. The board decided
otherwise and the bosses submitted under
protest.
Indianapolis, April 26,-The Indiana
state democratic convention, which as-
sembled this morning was largely attend-
ed, more than usual interest being mani-
fested in the outcome of the day's work,
by reason of a bitter feeling that | has
been engendered between the friends of
Governor Gray and ex-Senator McDon-
ald, and which culminated on Wednes-
day in an address from the latter to his
friends throughout the state in which the
ex-senator says some very uncomplimen
tary things about the governor. Another
incident that added to the interest was
the fact that John E. Sullivan, one of
the men indicted for participating in tally
sheet forgeries was a persistent candidate
for delegate to the St. Louis convention
from the seventh district. The day's
work was simplified by the action of
various district meetings last night which
elected district delegates to the national
convention, presidential electors, mem
bers of committees and assistant secre-
taries and vice-presidents. The conven-
tion was called to order at 10 o'clock.
The committee on permanent organiza-
tion then reported recommending Charles
J. Jewett, for chairman, Daniel W. Voor-
hees, David Turpie, John G. Shanklin
and John H. Bass for delegates at large
to the national conyention. District del-
egates are the same as giv< n
out last night and after whiih
various committees were announced
and the report unanimously adopted.
Chairman Jewett then addressed the con-
vention. In the course of his remarks he
paid a glowing tribute to the administra-
tion of President Cleveland, and when he
suggested that the next ticket might be
Cleveland and Gray he was greeted with
wild cheering and continued applause.
The same was the case when the name of
Hendricks was mentioned. Courtland C.
Matton was nominated for governor.
The nomination of Matson was made
unanimous and Wm. R. Myers was nom-
inated for lieutenant governor. William
H, English, chairman of the committee
on resolutions, submitted a platform to
the convention. It renews the pledges
of fidelity to the constitution and doc-
trines taught by the founders of the par-
ty, and announces a determination to re-
sist all efforts to deprive the federal gov-
ernment of auy of its powers. Delegates
in the constitution of the whole country
is congratulated upon the successful ad-
ministration of Cleveland. That he has
earnestly labored to discharge the duties
of his great office in the interest of nil
the people there can be no question; that
be has succeeded so well is a source of
pride and gratification to those who
e'ectcd him, as it should be to all his
countrymen. Not even party malice
dares to assail his honesty or integrity,
and all his acts have not only been clean,'
but above suspicion. The country is at
peace with all the world. The laws nre
faithfully administered, good order and
economy prevails wherever the executive
has control, and the whole country is%n-
joying remarkable prosperity under his
wise and benefic ent administration.'
Therefore the democracy of Indiana feei
that it would be unwise to risk the haz-
ard of a change and dcclarc themselves
emphatically in favor of his re-election.
The tariff plank opposes the hoarding of
money in the treasury beyond the needs
proper for the administration of the gov-
ernment; insists that the taxes 011 imports
be reduced to the lowest point consistent
with efficiency in the public service, and
d emands a revision of the ti:riff as recom-
mended in the president's message. The
platform furthermore declares that pref-
erence in making appointments to office
should be given to those who would har-
monize in principle and in harmony with
the parly, having the responsibility of
administration; that legislation should be
enacted to protect the interest of labor
and promote harmony betwe.m labor aud
capital; that it was the duty of the gov-
ernment to repossess itself of all forfeited
land grants, and what laws should be en-
acted to prevent the ownership of targe
tracts of lands by corporations or aliens,
that the sale of intoxicants should be reg-
ulated by a license system; condemns the
action of the republican party in the last
general assembly as revolutionary; de-
clares that the democratic party favors
fair and honest elections; favors liberal
legislation in behalf of the soldiers, and
concludes with the endorsement of the
administration of Governor Gray, aud
instructs the delegates to the national
convention to cast their votes as a unit
for him as long as bis name is before the
convention as a candidate for the vice
presidency. The platform was unanim-
ously adopted.
Robert Myers was nominated secretary
of state and for auditor of state Chas. A.
Munson; for treasurer of state Thos. B.
Byrnes.
John R. Wilson was named for attor-
ney general and A. F. Griffith superin
tendent of public instruction, after which
the convention adjourned,
national committee, reports numerous
letters received from senators, congress-
men, governors and other leaders includ-
ing several whose names are being con-
sideredj in connection with the president,
strongly endorsing a movement to com-
mit the party openly against saloons,

Maine Republicans.
B a nook, April 26.—The republicans of
the Fourth congressional district this
morning nominated C. A. Boutelle for
congress, by acclamation, and Fred A.
Powers and Benjamin B. Thacher dele-
gates to the Chicago convention. The
resolutions strongly endorse Blaine.
The platform declares for the protec-
tion of American industries, that it is the
duty of the republicans in congress to re-
sist to the utmost the passage of the
Mills'tariff bill; favor abolition of so
much of the revenue tariff taxes as will
bring the total receipts of the treasury to
equal as nearly |is practicable the just
expenditures of the government, that
Hon. James G. Blaine, our long trusted
statesman is deserving of the thanks of
the people of Maine and of the entire na-
tion for the promptness and remarkable
ability and facility with which in his
Paris letter he answered the free trade
manifesto of President Cleveland and
pointed out the duty of maintaining
American industries and markets for
American people.
