Ills Friends Are Thanked and Urged ta Work tor the Nominee Washington, Notables llelieve It Sleane Harrison by Acclaniutloii, but nllom and Others netting Their Lightning Uode Up Tha Maa Who Watches tha Secretary's Health Gets In home Work Governo Thayer Concludes to Give Governor lioyd No Further Trouble Political Notes. ' Washingtok, Feb. 8. The following let ter, dated Washington, Feb. 6, and ad dressed to Hon. J. S. Clarkson, chairman of the Republican national committee, is made public here: "MT Peak Sik: I am not a candidate! for the presidency, and my name will not go before the Republican national conven tion for the nomination. I make this an nouncement in due season. To those who have tendered me their support I owe sin cere thanks and am most grateful for their confidence. They will, I am sure, make earnest effort in the approaching contest, which is rendered specially important by reason of the industrial and financial poli cies 6f the government being at stake. The popular decision on these issues is of great moment and will be of far-reaching consequence. Very sincerely yours, Signed James G. Blaine. Means Harrison as the Leader. The announcement that the secretary had written the letter withdrawing him self from the field of candidates created much excitement, notwithstanding the probability of its utterance had been dis cussed for the past forty-eight hours with renewed vigor and its appearance thereby discounted to some extent. Secretary Fos ter wus seen by a reporter and asked for his opinion of the effect of the letter. He said he had been anticipating its appear ance, but was surprised that it had come out now. "It will result, I think," he said, "in President Harrison's renoinination." "Will it open the field for other candi dates or restrict it?" "The field has always been an open one, but several gentlemen to whom Secretary Blaine was a block will enter the race." Two Men Who were not Suprlsed. Secretary Elkins talked freely an inter estingly on the subject. "For some time," said he, "a month or more, certHinly.it has been known among the Republican polit' cians, and was becoming generally known among the people, that Secretary Blaine would not bo a candidate. Some of them are for Harrison, and some for others, ebut the great mass are for thepresident,and he will bo renominated." Secretary Tracy said: "I am not sur prised. I have been expecting such a let ter for some time. It points to Harrison's renomi nation and re-election." Mr. Tracy would not say that Mr. Blaine's health had anything to do with the present letter, nor would he make an swer to the query. "Was not Blaine now stronger before the country than he ever wasf- CULLOM IS IN THE RACE. Would "Make a Tretty Good Candidate," But is for tha Nominee. Senator Cullom spoke with frankness "I am not surprised," said he. "I had inti mations of its coming from various sources, and indeed from the secretary himself, but nothing definite." "Will you enter the field for the nomina tion, senator?" "Yes; I have said to my friends that having given Illinois nearly thirty years cf earnest service I would esteem it a great honor if the delegation to the national Republican convention from Illi nois would support me for the nomina tion. If I could be nominated, well and good; if not, the delegation would be free to support any good man. If any other man can get more votes than I can I would be for him. But, if you will permit me to say it, I think I would make a pretty good candidate." Soma Other Views In Brief. Senator Allison said it would open the field to any number of aspirants, but that Iowa had no "favorite son," and was well disposed toward Harrison. Representative Burrows said it means Harrison by acclama tion. Senator Brice knew it would come had known it for eighteen months. Pres ident Harrison had been continually grow ing stronger with his party, and renomin ation by acclamation was and had been for some time a certainty. He added: "The Republican convention will have its work all cut out long before it meets, while we are getting things in such shape that 'no man can tell who will bo the nominee at Chicago. Poor Clarkson, I am sorry for him. To be compelled to hold a tourna ment with no competition. It's a very dull outlook for him." Makes Alger a Candidate. Senator McMillan, of Michigan, said last night: "General Alger is now a candidate for the Republican nomination, and will go into the contest with the solid delega tion from his own state, with support from many other states and with a stronger fol lowing than many people and better chance of success than most peoplo-think for." An Alleged Sad Feature. The saddest feature of this political sen sation is the condition of health which more than anything else induces Mr. Blaine to take this step. It is no longer a pecrct among Mr. Blaine's friends in Wash ington that he is going to pieces both physically and' mentally. The closest friends of Mr. Blaine have talked of this fact with deep regret, and the country will be as sorry as they to learn that the brill iant secretary of state is suffering from a combination of troubles which threaten in the near future to drive him out of publio life. Hill la Ahead So Far. ALBANY. Feb. 8. Nine of the 128 assem bly districts of the state have held 'conven tions to elect delegates to the Democratic state convention to be held here on Wash ington's birthday. The districts are in different parts of the state.and are claimed by Hill's friends to accurately show the sentiment.. The only county convention of the nine that is hostile to the senator is tae Esmz coast convention, where Smith M. Weed controlled; Weed has been un friendly to Senator II ill tsver since Hill was" chosen senator. Senatfor Hill U in town lour in titer all the details in person. ANOTHER MAN STEPS DOWN. Governor Thayer Surrenders tha Kxeeu tlva Chair tu Uoyd. Omaha, Feb. a The suspense in the gubernatorial muddle is at an end. Yes terday, after a long consultation with his legal advisers, Governor Thayer decided to t irn the office over to Governor Boyd, and accordingly sent the following letter to hiin by General Webster last evening: ".-IB: When I commenced proceedings one year ago to test your title to the office of Governor, I did so in the full belief that there was great doubt in the publio mind as to your citizenship and eligibility. I then took occasion to publicly say that as soon as your citizenship was established by the courts I would gladly surrender the office to you. The contest was not one of personal strife nor to satisfy any ambition of my own. but to comply with and uphold the constitution. . Will not Wait a Mandate. "Now that the publio press has an nounced that the highest tribunal has de clared under the constitution and laws of .mud mo luuouiiuuuu auu laws vJk our country and state your right to the office, Ivery cheerfully yield the office of governor to you without the mandate of the court. As I am about to leave the state on Monday to be absent some weeks, it would be most convenient for me to turn over tl office to you at 2 o'clock on that diy if It is your pi -asure to accept the same at that time. Very respectfully, "John M. Thayer. " Boyd Will be on Hand In Time. In an interview Governor Thayer stated that be was really glad to get rid of the office and at no time intended to deprive Governor Boyd of his office. He was sorry to see so many adverse comments by the press, but felt confident that his course would meet with the approval of all. Governor Boyd was notified by wire and states that he will, if able, go down today and assume the place. He is now confined to his room with a bad cold. Later he wired that he would be on hand at the ap pointed time and receive the office from Thayer. Boyd Felt Bad About It. Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 9. Governor Boyd took possession of his office yesterday at 2 p. m. He was quite "uppish" over the matter, and when Thayer offered his hand refused to take it. Thayer after trying to "smoothe his wrinkled front," for a mo ment accepted the situation and told Boyd that the clerk would furnish him with an inventory of the executive property, to which Boyd replied that he wanted no in ventory, but was "here to take possession of the office to which I was elected." A FAINT-HEARTED SOLON. He Proposes to Have the Electric Execu tion Law Kt pealed. Sino Sing, N. Y., Feb. 9. McElvaine, a murderer, was executed by electricity yes terday. There were several members of the press present, including representa tives of the press associations and New York city dailies, also some assemblymen, doctors, scientists and others. The scien tists and doctors said that consciousness was lost by McElvaine as soon as the cur rent struck him. The only movemeut was a tension of the muscles at first, and when the current was turned off the muscles of the chest relaxed and expelled air from the lungs and some froth from the mouth. It Made the Statesman Sick. But Assemblyman Stein was very much put out about the whole matter. He probably never saw a hanged man wriggle, draw up his legs and otherwise contort himself in a manner to make a witness feel sick, so the asssemblyman said that the execution was cruel and unnatural and made him sick. "I sha'l try to have the law repealed," he said, "as soon as I get back to Albany. The law should not be allowed to remain on the statute books another day. I do not know whether death was instantaneous or not. I only know that it was horrible and I shall do all in my power to have the law repealed. I do not want to witness another execu tion." A MILLION DOLLAR FIRE. Memphis Visited by a Blase that Burnt a Whole Block. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Feb. 9. At 9:30 last night the building at 230 Main street, occu pied by the Bruce-Bein Hat company, dealers in hats, caps and straw goods, was ' discovered to be on fire, The entire rear portion of the six-story building from basement to top seemed to be ablaze in an instant, and before the firemen could get it under control the fire had destroyed a whole block.

The Peabody hotel, on the northwest corner of Main and Monroe, and the Louisville & Nashville ticket office, on the opposite cor ner, were on fire several ' times, but by hard work on tha part of the hotel em ployes, guests and bystanders, presse into service to aid the firemen, were saved. It is reported that one man jumped off a high building and was crushed to death. The insurance is about $500,000. THE DEATH RECORD. John. Jay Knox, ex-comptroller of the currency, at New York.

A Scoreul Victims of a Gotham Holocaust. HEABTBENDING SCENES AT A FIRE. Flames Take Possession of tha Hotel ltoyal While (he Guests Are Bouud In Sleep The Trapped Inmates, Their Es cape Cut Off by the Stairways, Crowd the Windows Imploring for Succor Some Hare the Fearful Leap to the Street and Heath Others Swallowed Up In the Final Crash When the Walls Col. lapse Twenty to Twenty-five Head and Many Injured. New YoitK, Feb. a A disaster para lelling in horror and probably exceeding in loss of life the terrible occurrence in Park Place, the remembrance of which is still fresh in the publio mind, occurred in this city yesterday morning. The Hotel Royal, at Fortieth street and Sixth avenue, was burned to the ground . , . . . , . and a larce numbtir of PPle were burned, suffocated by smoke, or crushed to death In the ruins. About 100 were reported missing yesterday morning, but many of the guests were "transients" and may have escaped and gone to their homes. They are not likely , to report their escape, which will make it very difficult to get at the real horror of the disaster. , Leaped from the Windows to Heath. An immense crowd gathered to view the tragedy that was progressing. The win dows were filled with people in their night clothing, making piteous and heart-rending appeals to the people below for help, while behind them was a great sea of flume, Indeed, these unfortunate beings seemed to be actually in the fire. Harrow ing scenes were witnessed by those who were assembled in sight of the burning ho tel. One unknown man sprang from a window on the third floor, and was dashed to death on the sidewalk. In a few min utes this same scene was repeated in view of the horror-stricken multitude, another man and two women leaping to certain death. Climax of the Holocaust. Meanwhile tho flames were eating out the heart of the building and rapidly de stroying the woodwork that braced the wads. Finally the grand catastrophe took place. While at several windows could be seen frantic people crying for help that was impossible, a column of sparks shot up into the air, a rumbling crash was heard and a groan went up from the on lookers as the walls tumbled 'into ruins, and the holocaust had reached its limit. Those a moment before seen at the win dows pleading for help fell back with the walls and were smothered up in the flames that burst out and leaped skyward for a few minutes fiercer than ever, and then succumbing to the torrent of water that was poured upon them, gradually died away. It hud done its worst; but what was the worst? WHAT IS UNDER THE DEBRIS? A Strong Force of Men at. Work Trying to Answer That Question. The fire had spent its force at 5:15 a. m., for there was practically nothing com bustible left in the shell. Then the scene surveyed by the firemen, the police and the citizens was one of complete and sorrowful wreck. Ambulances had carried away the injured, and those who had escaped un hurt had gone to the hotels or to the homes of friends. All that remained was a smok ing, blackened mound of debris that rose to a height of twenty-five feet. And un der the debris what would the men set to work immediately to clear away the wreck what would they find there? This ques tion stayed the crowd, and all yesterday there was a throng of people in Bryant park opposite the ruins, and around all the approaches to the demolished hotel, watch ing while one hundred able firemen la bored in the smoking heap anxious, yet fearful of what each upturned heap might bring forth. The First Gruesome Discovery. It was at 11 o'clock, that the first body was found. It wus a horrible sight to be hold, burned, blackened, and bruised. It was hurried away to the morgue, where after much difficulty it was identified as the body of Harvey C. Levy, a member of the firm of Strauss & Freeman, 707 Broad way. Besides Levy and the four who were picked up dead on the pavement as the re sult of leaping from the windows there were recovered from the debris yesterday two unknown women and two unknown men, one of the latter . having evidently dived headforemost from some elevated point, as his head was smashed to pieced. This made eight known dead by sundown yesterday. This morning 100 men under Contractor Galloway were put to work, and it is expected the fearful work of the fire will soon be known. Some Authentic Figures. - During yesterday afternoon, Fire Mar shall Mitchell had an interview with Meares, the proprietor of the hotel. From him it was learned that in the hotel at the time the fire occurred were 133 persons. Just how many of these escaped it is dif ficult to say. At 6 o'clock the police of the Thirtieth street police station gave the following as the official list of those known to have beerf saved: P. Taylor, W. P. Pierce, Frederick Ulhmann, H. G.
