WALLS MUST COME DOWN Parts of Other Bulldlnss Still Standing to Be Reino ved In t t e Interest of Safe Xj Preparations made for Reniovins fiddles, bnt None as Yet Taken Oat ..Larse Force Employed in Clearing , Up the Wreckage. New York. Oct. 30. 'Smoking and steaming, sullenly, the ruins left by yes terday's disastrous fire and explosions in Tarrant's' wholesale and retail . dru Jhouse, baffled the work of the publte wrecicer today, and tne task ot ciearja Warren, Greenwich and Washington streets of the rubbish of "buildings and digging down into the debris on the lire-Swept area for the bodies of victims proceeded haltingly. The hundreds of men . . eniployed 1 by Superintendent Dooner, of the building department,) to look for -bodies, remove the masses of stone, wood, and iron and shore up and make safe gutTed structures, could do little more this morning than attack the outskirts'. "of the' ruins and watch the firemen. Who played water in the still glowing pile from six lines of hose.' ; IT.p to -this afternoon not a body had beeil 'recovered of the score and a half or inore. winch it was thought tne smoldering, heaps. cotiL-ealed. A corpse naJ, novrever, ibeen seen on a second floor girder at the rear of what Had been Tarrant & Go?s building. It was thougnt to be, that of a woman but it could not .be reached Search for the dead has been ffoins: ty feet in height along Warren and Greenwich streets. "I fear that few bodies will be re covered . , . until . .we can get into the buildings. L do not expect to 5 come upon. the. dead before another day. We are going over this debris, lest some om anight have lived "through it all. When ft il warked oxer, "I will provide' carts to hrtivt-it away. -When the buildings arecooled we will so into them. "More important than finding the dead is the. protection. of the living. The force of the , explosion has impaired many buildings in the vicinity. 1 can not think of letting men work in them while there is a possibility that they may come down. I believe that the buildings along the south side of Cham bers street from Greenwich to Wash ington streets, and in Washington street from-Oh ambers to Warren streets, have been made unfit for occupancy. They will be thoroughly examined, and until I am sure of them I will not allow the proprietors to open them for business." The early work of- the wreckers was directed to clearing the chaotic mass s)f those parts of it which threatened to fall and which made labor about them hazardous.. . - By the middle of the morning, al though no deep entry had been made unto the pile, the whole mass had been pulled into a fairly even mound and was readv to be cleared away. Superintendent Dooner said today that his first; task would be to clean up Warren I street, as he Believed that the bodies of some of those who were in the . street at the time of the explosion might have been caught by the falling walls and buried there. He also di rected Chief Inspector O'Connor to blow up the part of the wall of the seven story building of 'the coffee-roasting plant in the middle of the block, on the south side of Warren street, ' which was still standing. The ruins of the Home-made Hotel and the building at 27." Washington street were also to bo milled down. Superintendent Dooner said that before night he -would have twelve hundred men at work and that a place to dumo destructible debris would be provided by the dock department. The department of highways and street cleaning expected to have sixty wagons at work as soon as it was possible to use them. It was supposed this morning that a number o.f bodies would be found in the sub-cellars of the . wrecked buildings when the mass a.bove them "was cleared away. The .buildings in'. the neighbor hood had many ofv these sub-cellars, using them for the storage of vegetables and fruit, and if employes were .caught in anv of these cellars, when the build ings fell they would certainly have been crushed or drowned. As the men who worked in these cellars were mostly Italians, it .is not iprobahle that, even as President or a twice-defeated candi thoush they wore lost, any one would Laarfk for that hiffh office. The crowds report them missing. A temporary Tnorn-ne was arranced for across the street from the HomejMade Hotel and three "dead wagons" were kept in wait ing for the bodies that it was expected would be unearthed during the day. Tarrant & Co. and the Brietenbach Chemical Co. opened temporary offices this morning 011 the fourth floor of a build ins at OS Murray street. Thomas v. Mann, president -of Tarrant & Co., that all their -employes had been accounted for except Benjamin -Moor- house and. an office boy. Powerfnl Explosives in the Bulldlns New York, Oct. 30. Chief Sanitary Inspector Freeney, of the Board of Health, said today: "I don't knoAv .what quantity of ex plosives wei-e stored in the Tarrant building. All cardiac stimulants contain nitro-glycerine in diluted form, but the Tarrant firm may have it in the pure state, in undiluted form. Twenty-five nr thirtfv nnnnds of it in its nnre state would ruin an entire city block. "Collodion, composed of gun-cotton and ether, is verv explosive.- What quantity, if anv, tne tirm naa, 1 am not aoie to say. The firm had picrate of potash, which is very explosive. The violent shock which was preceded by lesser shocks may have been caused by nitro glycerine. Ordinarily ' ari , explosion of tnis compound would work up and down and would not rend outward as in Ahis case.'' '..;'..'"' j , . :. . J' An interesting statement bearing; on the questions as to what. caused' the ex plosions and how much deadly . material was stored-in the drug huilding was that said to have been made '.(by Engineer 'Phillips, -.of the Tarrant building. He is quoted, as having said that Louis Patter son, the chief chemist of tthe firm, warn ed him some time ago Jn these wolds: , "If this 1 buikllug ever takes fire, you get out just as fast as you; can, and don't stop until, you are five . blocks away." . , : Merchants in the'V -neig-liborhood --said, that there-had been. a general feeling in the district .for a long time that the thing to do an ease o& fire in the Tarrant build ing would" begto get S far away from the neighborhood-.. and as .soon as ' pos sible.

THE MOB ARGUMENT Roosevelt Complains of Treatment of -Republican Clnb at dmira. Bath, N. Y., Oc 30. The first stop of the day of the Roosevelt train was made at Corning, the home of the club which was assaulted last night during the parade in Elmira. It was raining quite hard when .the train got to the station, but there was a dense crowd awaiting it, and, as. the governor re marked, "more umbrellas than I have ever seen in my. life before.!' It was some time before: the governor could speak, because of the cheering, but final ly he said: ' J "It .is perfectly evident that Corning has not been daunted by its reception in Elmira last night. It indicates this that you have good stuff in you here." "So have you," shouted one of his hearers. . . "And I think," continued the gover nor, "that sooner or later our opponents will grow to understand that mob vio lence is. not the way to try Jto keep Re publicans back. We have a right to appeal not merely to' Republicans, but every citizen wrhro believes in orderly liberty under the law and who is against mob violence in all its forms, to stand with us, not merely next Tuesday, to overthrow' Bryanism, but to stamp it under foot so it shall never, come up. You may have noticed in this morning's papers that another mob j'esterday broke up Senator Depew's meeting at Coble skill.

ANDERSON A PERJURER Fres h Sen satio n in the Ken . tucky Assassination Affair SAYS HE TOOK BRIBES Witness In the Powers Cae Says He Swore Away the Defendant's "Liberty ' for Three Hundred Dollars, and. Now He Takes It All Back in an Affidavit Published In a Newspaper Iupl! cates Attorney Campbell. Louisville, KyM Oct. 30.

Goebcl, iu" which Anderson swears that his story., told on the stand, at Georgetown was perjured. After telling of a conversa tion with Attorney Campbell at Cincin nati in connection with thef; Goebel' case, he says: "I remained in Cincinnati after this conversation With Campbell, and some time after that Arthur Goebel, in his store on the fourth floor where I had gone at his request, asked me if Pow ers had not in my presence at Barbour ville in January said to me in substance these words, referring to William Goe bel, , They say he wears a coat of mad,, bnt it won't do him any good,' or some thing similar to that. "I told Goebel that Powers had never said anything of tha sort in my pres ence to the best of my knowledge. He told me to think and see if I could not ' remember it. I could not remember such a remark, and I know that Powers never did make such a remark or scy thing" resembling it, in my presence: but, being urged by Arthur Goebel, I finally concluded to state that he did make such a statement, and so ewore upon the trial, which testimony was false. "Before making my - statement . to Campbell, Wharton GoliJen told me to make it as strong as possible, as they (referring to Campbell and Goebel) would take care of me and protect me. L T have, since such conversation with Campbell and Arthur Goebel, received from Arthur Goebel various sums, ag gregating about JoOO, and upon one oc casion $10 from Justus Goebel. The last sum I received was Tuesday, Octo ber '23, 1900, which was $5, given to me by Colonel Campbell at his office iu Cincinnati."

Then they will meet the Chinese plenipotentiaries. The minis ters are anxious for the return of the court to .Pekin. They say there isi no semblance of a government here now to deal with, alid, while they have no doubt that Prince Ching and Li Hung , Chang have authority to negotiate with them, -they are desirous of the return of the government to the capital to as sert its authority and to insure tu- carrying out of the agreements made by. its representatives. It is contended that the court is now in the hands of ban dits and that it must return to Pekin and the government be re-establisb' . in order "to prove that the lawless ele ment no longer controls It.
