Agriculture of Itebraska in favor of Chicago as Of course the dedication draws its impor­ tance from the character of the building and the scope of its objects. In this re­ spect the occasion appeals to the nation for a rival. In fact the, world can show nothing like it in all the ranee of history. It is not twenty years since the locality where the magnificent structure now stands was a scene of the charred ruins of a great city. The achievement, there­ fore, can not be consilered in any sense less than a national triumph. The Audi­ torium belongs not to Chi< ago, but to the United Ftates. It iB and will for centuries be the pride of th> whole' country. In short, it is the boa.it of the city, the glory of the State and the wonder of the nation, and its completion places Chicago far in advance of all other American cities la many respects. The opening of this great temple fit signalized by a peculiar outpouring of popular patriotism. While th* H,00<> on tue inside were he'd in willing captivity by the enchanting strains ot,Patti, or ap­ plauded in waves of demonstration iu honor of the rentiments utterel by the Pr sident of the United States, the Gov­ ernor of Illinois and the Mayor ct Chi­ cago, §0,000 equally loyal and devoted citizens, including thousands of ladies, filled the streets surrounding the great edifice, and wildly cheerfed on the outside as one after another of the distinguished party entered. It was, of course, the greatest audience ever assembled in any theater in America. The great staq;e, which had been cleared of its scenery incumbrances, was occupied by a distinguished party, including the President and other dignitaries, and pre­ sented a sea of faces more than a io^usand strong. But there looked upon tbe most inspiring spectacle ever witnessed in« any colosseum. Before them wort > spreadout, in parquet and gallery, balcony and circle, extending far and high, a vast and bril­ liant multitude. In a front box sat President Harrison and Mrs. McKee, Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Peck, In front of thqjr box stood a splendid bank of red and white carnations and roses with the legend "Welcome to our honored guest" In the opposite box was Gov. Fifer and a party of friends. 1 The orchestra, composed of the orches­ tra of the opera company and lo al musi­ cians with accompaniment on the organ, rendered a triumphal fantasie by Du­ bois, and Mayor Cregier appeared. He was greeted was a roar of applause and began at once the delivery of bis addres?, which was greeted w th great applause. Ferd W. Feck, president of the Audi­ torium association was called for and re­ sponded in a few appropriate remarks. In concluding Mr. Peck introduced the President of the United States. Hundreds of people rose as Mr. Harri-on left his box, and tossed their handkerchief, clapped their hands, end shouted an -enthusiastic welcome. Mr. Harrison made a neat and happy speech. He said: "Ladies and Gentlemen: Borne of my newspaper friends have been puzzling themselves in order to discover the reason why, I left Washington to be here tonight. I do not think 1 need to set in order the motives which have im­ pelled my presence.

The aecoud stanza was sung by female* voices. The male chorus repeated a portion of it and all joined in the conclusion. The effect was electric. Strong men were touched and tears glistened on many eye lashes. The great.hall seemed to take up the chorus and roll it in triumphal tones through the immense arches. It thrilled and held motionless tbe mighty throng that had gossiped and gazed at everything except the speakers. Tbe contata that followed was scarce less effective, but "My Country 'Tis of ^Thee," touched the heart while the can tata only delighted the ear. Mr. John 8.

A Johnstown (Pa.) dispatch .says: As the performance of "Uncle loot's Cabin" waa drawing to a close ia the Main street opera house the fire bell was rung, causing a frantic scramble for the exit. There wc:-e 600 br 060 men, women, and children in the hall,* and to gain the street it was necessary to pass down a narrow, walled-up staircase and through a very narrow door. The people from the streets rushed into tbe door from the outside and many were crushed before they could be forced out. It was necessary to turn the hose on the crowd at the door before the rescuers could get at the dead and wounded. When the crowd was driven away the following persons were round dead Stairs: E.

The dreadful visitation came upon its victims with even less or warning or time for preparation than the awful deluge of May 31. The Johnstown opera-bouse was opened to the public le.-s than a fortnight ago. Stetson's "Unc'e Tom's Cabin" was tbe pley, and there was a iarge audience present considering tbe very limited means which Johnstown people now find at their command for any kind of amusement pur­ poses. During the performance the cry of fire was raised. To a people to whom any sudden warn­ ing might mean so much--to those who had so recently passed through the hor­ rors of the greatest flood of the century, this cry was terrifying in the extreme. It spread like wildfire itcelf, and was on every lip in an instant, Horrified and pani '-stricken the hundreds of neople in the audience rushed over seats, struggling bodies, and everything toward the one means of exit. This wag only a single narrow stairway, and over one another headlong, the frightened people plunged, regardless of consequences. When the calaminity became known and before the dead and wounded could be taken out people rushed from the outside up the narrow stairs and were crushed by the ciowd forcing its way to the street l:+5 o'clock nine dead bodies had been recovered from the wreck of the stairc and auditorium and dozens upon dozens of the injnred had been assisted to doctors' offices aud drug stores for relie- and re­ storation. ty 2 o'clock twelve dead bodies had been counted out and it seemed as if the number might yet be swelled-- possibly doubled. The number of in­ jured at this hour has reacbel sev­ enty-five and there has been as yet only tbe most superficial and hasty searches for either the rescued or dead. When the jam occurred a large number of persons, thinking the fire was in the opera house, tried to get into the theater, making another jam, and it was necessary for the firemen to turn the hose on the crowd to get them away from the d^r. The screams were terribly and it Wat shocking to see small children knocked down by big men and trampled upon. The theater has always been noted as a death trap end was condemned twelve years ago, but the other one was washed away in the flood and this one has been in use. • The manager tried to quiet the crowd, but it was no use. One man jumped from the third-story window and wds seriously hurt, and many more would have jumped but for a tew cool heads. It is reported that tbe police injured several persons in trying to clear the jam. All the dead were taken to Henderson's morgne and all were identified. Co: oner Evans and jury of six men viewed the remains and came to the decis­ ion that the victims came to their death by being crushed and mangled in Parke's opera house. Among the killed was a colored man oi Chambersburg, Pa., aged 19; Stonaker oi Mount Pleasant was 20; Lizzie Claycomb, 19: Clara Burns, 1W. Mrs. Burns, inothei of Clara, aged 40, was killed. Isaac Tolor Was 60; George Horner, 11; Mrs. Kester. 25; E. Bigler 8. It is likely that the officials will close the opera house, although had the crowd kept their wits about them not one would have been hurt. An unknown man in the boys' gallery did a great deal in keeping the people from jumping from the third story windows and doubtless saved man} lives. Blame is put on the fireman who rang the Johnstown fire-bell, as the fire was in Kernvi lie, but he is not to blame. Post­ master Baumer, I oll'enien Becker, Stearn, Harris, and others acted nobly in rescuing the injured. Women and men aliKe were frenzied, an 1 there was fighting on Main street white those inside were being killed. It was over two hours after the jam be­ fore the hall was cleared, and some of the injured and dead were lying in the build­ ing an hour after the crash. Mo*t of the injured were taken to the adjoining storef and properly cared for. The excitement is intense. There at•« several persons missing, all ladies, but owing to' the confusion their names can not be ascer'ained. A large number of saloons were open until 1? o'clock and drunkenness added to the horror of the scenes. Had not the hose been turned on at tbe proper time it is hard to tell what would have been the result. The house is a small, three-story, briok building, fronting on Main street,and, like the routh-fork reservoir, has always been, considered unsafe. While the new one was in operation it was 1 ttle used and had but a small exit from tb» second story by a narrow pair of stairs to the street. It had DO fire escape. OLIVER JOHNSON DEAD.

The trip. will be so arranged as to reach New Or­ leans in time for the Mardi-Gras festivi­ ties, which commenoe February 18. The return trip will be via Memphis and,Nasb- vilk A big political sensation will soon attract attention, if rumor is to be credited. It is here given for what it is worth. It is said that a serious disagreement ha* occurred between President Harrison and Secretary of the Interior Noble and that the latter will in three weeks retire tox private life. The man who is Expected to succeed Mr. Noble as head of the Interior Department is J. S. Clarkson of Iowa, tbe first assistant postmaster-general. It has long been known that the President has desired to reward Mr. Clarkson with a . position of greater dignity than the oqp he now fills, and with the retirement of Mr. Noble the opportunity will arise. The Iowa man has won the admiration of th» administration by his executive ability, and the reports that be was weary of the1 arduous and unpleasant work of the Post- office Department may play a part in con­ necting his name with the distinguished office held by Mr. Noble. Director of the Mint Leecb, speaking of Secretary Windom's silver measure, says: "I am thoroughly familiar with the meas­ ure, probably more so than any person except the Secretary himself It com­ mends itself to my judgment not only as the best plan for the present utilization of silver but I believe it contains in itself the solution of the silver problem; that it will afford a ready market for the surplus silver product of the world, the normal effect of which will be to gradually and permanently enhance the value of silver until it reaches a point so nearly corresponding with its value in coinage that we can with safety do away with ail temporary measures and resfwre the law as it existed from tbe foundation of tbe government to 1873. I have not seen a single objection in newspaper com­ ments which was not fully considered by the Secretary in the preparation of hi* report" It is stated that tobacco manufacturers are preparing to resist any attempt that may be made to re Deal the tobacco tax. An organized lobby will be on hand to exert influence against any change in the inter­ nal revenue laws. Not a few prominent Republican members are opposed to the repeal of the tobacco tax on the ground that the tax is paid "by the consumer and is therefore a hardship on no one. Among the bills introduced in Congress is one for the immediate retirement ot about 100 officers of tbe army who are in­ capacitated for act/ve duty on account of sickness or disability. Th'present salar­ ies aggregate f300,000, which will be materially reduced by their retirement and at the same time cause a general promotion along the line. *' ' • . . I . . . . i i . . i - 1 . . THE MINNEAPOLIS HORROR. ; Wa» "The Trlbnne" Brill ding; Set A.ffjfW * by n. DeffanltlnrfCaahierf Minneapolis (Minn.) dispatch: A report is current at police headquarter s and on the streets that a clew to the origin of tho fire which destroyed The Minneapolis Tribune building and seven human livos has) been discovered. Charles S. Ostrom, the'defaulting cashier of the Minneapolis department of The St. Paul Pioneer Press, ia suspected of having set fire to The Tribune building in order to cover up all traces of bis engagement. The Minneapolis office of The Pioneer Press was located in The Tribune building, and it having been destroyed it was found impossible to fasten the crime of embezzle­ ment upon Ostrom until the books had been recovered. They were taken from the ruins Friday and an examination, showed that they had been doctored by Ostrom to hide his stealings. He was ar­ rested in St. Paul, taken to Minneapolis and made a statement under oath that he had embezzled $2,200, which be claims was lest in gambling. Although Ostrom has confessed to the embezlement he strongly denies that to set fire to the Tribune building. The fact that he left the books out of the safe on the night ot the fire is against him, bat Ostrom claims that he was not in the building after o'clock on the night of the fire. He sa/s he expected a ch^rgS'Of arson would be made against him*, but claims that the detective who shadowed him will corroborate his statement that ho is uot responsible for the Xrihuue iire.
