Willing Hands Still at Wor Ex tgf tricating the Victims From the Debris. QUEBEC, Special—The loss sustained by the surviving victimsjof the disasterjis great Some of.the workingmenwho are deprived of homes lose all their furniture and other effects, even their 6uanty earnings. Many are left virtually penniless at the commence ment of a Canadian winter. The injured have been nearly all removed to the Hotel Dieu, where they will receive all possible care and attention. William Powers, wife and child, were saved by men of the battery, who, aided by a detachment of the cavalry school, effected quite a number of rescues. The members of the Black family were buried alive twelve feet below the surface of the debria On being asked if they were safe, Mrs. Black answered: "My husband is killed at the door. The rest are safe, but we are suffer ing from wounds and bruises on our limbs." Shortly after Miss May Cauldweii, a niece of Mr. Black, waB extricated from Mr. Black's house. Her limbs were so stiff from inaction that the leasG touch on them caused excruciating pains. The next per son taken out was Thomas Berri gan, whose wife was taken out of the ruins dead. He was so disfigured his friends could hardlv recognize him. He was removed to the hospital muttering a prayer of thanks for his miraculous escape. The next follow was an eight-year-old boy, also named Ber rigao. His left leg was crushed to a jelly. Then came Mrs. Black. Her bosom, nec£ and face were dreadfully swollen. THE SITE OF THE LAND SLIDE is almost identical with that of the one which occurred in 1841, when eight build ings were crushed and thirty-two persons were killed. The houses destroyed all stood on the other side of the road way and were not thought to be in danger, but the immense mass of rocks swept clear across the roadway and over the brick buildings, demolishing them as if they were made of cardboard. The mass of earth and rock moved is, roughly speaking, about six hundred feet frontage by eighty in depth. Some of the masses ot fallen rock must weigh nearly twenty tons, and there are 60 many huge blocks that it makes the work of clearance very difficult It is feared that a large part of the rock adjoining the Bite ot the slide will come down, as large crevices have appeared and the rain is still falling and may repeat the operations which caused last night's disaster. The people are moving out of the threatened houses. There has been no lack ot volunteers for work at tr ruins, bnt there is a lack of intelligent direction, as there is no person in authority. Citizens are sending in money to relieve any immediate distress among the homeless women and childen. The shipping office in the dominion government buiidmg has been turned into a temporary morgue, and over twenty bodies are lying in it It is difficult to identify some of the bodies, so much have they been disfigured and crushed. Several of the persons reported missing have turned up, but it is thought that there will be ten or more victims to be added to the list A complete list of wfie injured cannot be made up yet, as they were removed to different hospitals and to friend's houses as soon as they were taken from the ruins. Preparations are being made for THE FUNERALS OF THE KILLED, who will be buried at the joint expense of citizens and the local government Among those buried by the rocks area young couple named Nolan, who were married a few weeks ago. Nolan could have escaped, but he lost bis life in trying to get his wife out of the house. It is thought that the king's bas tion on the citadel will have to be removed, as it is now near the edge of the rock, with uns ife crevices front of it. As a precau tionary measure all communication with the bastion has been cut off, and the morning and evening guns will no longer be fired from it About twenty thousand persons have visited the scene of the disaster during the day. Thousands crowded into the morgue and seized every point inside and outside the building where a glimpse could be had of the bodies of the victims. Many women who obtained an entrance had to be removed in a fainting condition, the mangled bodies being a sight to try the nerves of the strongest men. It has'been decided to use small charges of powder to break up the hugh boulders covering the roadway, as it is certain that there can be nothing living beneath them. The horrors of this dreadful day are still succeeding each other. While the workers were busy clearing away the debris of crum bled buildings faint groans were heard at in tervals from under huge pile ot rocks. The efforts of the volunteers were concentrated to that point, and after three hours hard work THE BLEEDING BODT of Joe Kemp was extricated from the mass of rock. The poor man is in a most pitiable condition. Both legs are broken at theing knees, the left arm is fractured above the elbow and several ribs are fractured. He cannot live many hours. Two hours later his wife's Dodv was taken out of the wreck. Her head was almost severed from her body. Farther away an other hideous spectacle was offered to sight —the corpse of a young woman (Mrs. Lau son) who had been admired in her lifetime for her beautv. Her body had been crushed almost flat Shortly after viewing her remains her husband became a raving maniac. It is doubtful if he will recover his reason. A man named Michael Bradley, who hes gone almost crazy when told that all his family had perished in the land slide, dis covered, while working over the wreck of his house, his five-year-old daughter, still a ive. His joy was indescribable. It is thought the child will live. Up to this time the number of corpses found is twenty-five and the number of wounded eighteen. The city is thronged with strang ers coming from all parte of Quebec district to witness the effects of the terrible ava lanche. The following is a list of the killed and wounded so far as is known: Killed—Thomas Farrell and three Farrell chil dren, two children named Burke, one child named Bradley, child of P. Fitzgerald. Mrs. Bracken, Mrs. Stephen Burke, Henry Black. William Black, Thomas Nolan, Mrs. Beady. Mrs. Thomas BerriKan, Mrs. Lauson, Mrs. Kemp. Injured—Mr. and Mrs. Calson. Mr. J.

GENTILES. & Annua he ah E on Commissioners CHICAGO, Special.—The Utah election commissioners were at work here on their annual report to the secretary of the interior The full board was present, con- sisting of Col. G. L. Godfrey, chairman, of Des M&nes, Iowa ex-Lieut Gov. Robertson of Fort Wayne, Ind. Judge A. B. Williams of Arkansas, ex-Senator Alvin Saunders of Omaha and Gen. John B. McClernand of Springfield. Gov. Eobertson and Judge Will iams, the subcommittee on the preparation of the report, were engaged all morning fin-, ishinsr their work. They completed the re port this afternoon and submitted it to the committee for adoption or change. The re port is a formidabfe document of forty-eight pages of legal cap, not differing in length rrom the previous annual reports. It is un derstood that the report will reflect very largely Gov. Bobertson's views. A subject that will be treated in the reDort is the re cent Salt Lake City election, in which, owing to the peculiar municipal election regula tions, the conned members are compelled to secure election by a majority of the votes cast in the entire city. For this reason the Gentile wards have ndt been able to obtain representation. It is alto understood that other recommendations may be made, as follows: That many of the territorial and county officers and superintendents of the distneo schools be appointed by the president or gov ernor. That the district courts be given greater powers of jurisdiction in cases of polygamy any where in the territory. Exempting prosecutions for such offenses •from the statute of limita tions. .That it be a penal offense for a woman to enter the polygamous relation, and extending the term ot imprisonment for such offense. Depriving polygamists from entering and ac quiring public lands. Forbidding the immigra tion of those believing in polr«amy and the adoption of a law similar to what is known as the Idaho law, disfranchising persons who belong to an organization which teaches and upholds Dolygamy. BLOOD ON THE MOON. Six Georgi a Legislator Liabl to on he of Honor. ATLANTA, Ga,, Special—The Georgia leg islature has been quite belligerent and three couples of representatives have beea negotiating through friends. These negotiations may end in explanations on the floor or in visits to the surrounding states for fignting. The first bout was between Mr. Tignor and Mr. Atkinson and it happened during the debate on the proposed industrial school for girls. The second row was between ex-Congressmen Felton and Mr. Humphreys, the latter saying that Dr. Felton had refused to shelter wounded soldiers from the Confederate army who had come to his house for shelter. The battle of Ghickamuga occasioned the third disturbance. The legislature was con sidering a proposition to visit the battlefield to-day. Mr. Foute of Barlow said that twen ty-six years ago he wae on the field of Chick amauga. There was no barbecue then, al though there was great slaughter. He ate roast turnips for breakfaBt that morning, and before night some of those fellows shot him in the foot He did not blame them. He was trying to do worse for them. But he had business there then, and he had none there now. He did not think that the legis lature or the committee should go away from their work to attend this barbecue. He" loved those men who had tried to make peace s.nce the war, and despised those who were always striving to keep alive the bitter feelings of the war. Mr. Thurman of Walker took ex ceptions to these remarks and a bad feeling waa engendered between the two men. NOT THE FIRST ONE. Confesses to A Murde to is Attorney. FABGO, North Dakota, Special Telegram,— Taj lor Crum, who was attorney for Brown, the muiderer of Policeman Poull of Moorhead, in speaking of the ex ecution, said: "I saw Brown last night and had a lone conversation with him before midnignt Some ot the matters we talked of were confidential, and I cannot divulge what wras said. He told me that he had given the priest, Father Augustine, the names of his people, with the undemanding that after the laose of a year he should notify them of his death. He requested me to deliver verbal messages to some of his friends and acquaintances and said if I desired it he would make a statement on the scaffold reference to O'Hare and the jullmg of Casey at Hillsboro, reaffirming all the statements contained in his (Brown's) deposition, which was taken at the time of O'Hare's trial. He expected TO do so when I left him. ID that deposition ynu remember Brown swore that he himself killed Casey. During my interview with him last nierht he also told me that all the parties who were to witness hi9 execution except the priest, the sheriff and his deputies were strangers to him and he desired me to be present at his death. The sheriff and the priest had selected the full number pennitted by the statute to be present, and Brown's wishes in the mat ter were ignored or disregarded bv the sheriff." OFFICIAL LANGUAGE. a a an in a in a Til Over he Us of OTTAWA, Ontario, Special Telegram, —Attorney General Martin, of the Manitoba government, ^returned to Winnipeg not very well satisfied with the result of his mission to Ottawa, where he had hoped to secure the assurance of Sir John Macdonald that the federal government or parliament would not veto the measure he proposes in troducing iu the Manitoba legislature shortly, doing away with the French language in that province. Members of the Quebec province threaten that if the French language is abandoned by the Manitoba gov ernment, and as it would have to be by the federal government, Quebec will refuse to respect the language or the English-speak ing minority in that province, and for the future have all official documents printed in French only, in which language also every member would have to use when speaking in the legislature. The changes the Manitoba government desire, namely the abolishment of dual ism in education and language, can only be done by an address to the British par liament, and, as it must pass through the Do minion parliament first, no matter how Sir John Macdonald might be able to help it through, there will be a solid French vote against it There will be little chance of its passing. The war of races in Canada is only now beginning between the two elements— English and French—but where it will end no one dare to predict SHOULD BE OBSERVED. a id by he Interstate is ST. LOUIS, Special—Judge Schocnmaker, Judge Bragg and Mr. Veasey, of the Inter state commerce commission, have been in St Louis the past few days but have left here for Kansas City, Mo., where they have several caseB to hear.

In an opinion rendered by Commis sioner Bragg, on application for subpoenas duces tecum for the production of book*, contracts, vouchers, accounts and papers in the suit of George Bice versus various West ern railroads, oil companies, etc., that gen tleman lays down several rules to be ob served in such cases, the following being the principal one: In laving down rules upon the subject of what an application shall contain for the compulsory production of books, papers, tariffs, contracts, agreements and documents relating to any mat ter under investigation, tne commission is gov erned by the provisions of the act to regulate commerce and the objects and purposes of this statute, but in connection with these will also consider the practice In the courts of the United States, as well the rules provided by federal statutes, in proceedings which seem to be must nearly analogous to proceedings in which such applications to the commission is made.
