killed, the rest escaping with few slight
bruises. The loss to the powder COM
pany cannot now be estimated, but it will
be heavy. The buildings, with the ex-
ception Of one house, were of little value.
The extent of damage to the machinery
is not known. the cause Of the explo-
sion will probably never be known, as the
man at the coming mill, where the first
explosion: occurred, was killed.
In the immediate neighboThood Of the
explosion the houses were badly dam
aged, windows broken and plastering torn
of.
In the city the widest excitement pre-
vailed, many thinking the detonations
caused by an earthquake. Houses rock
ed and shook, people rushed into streets
and horses became frightened, adding to
the alarm by their plunging. Much dam
age to windows was done-the large plate
glass fronts in Reidon's photogl aph
rooms, Baldwin's dry goods store, near
the city hall, Gushing block, the Stand
ard block, and several other places, being
shattered. The damage in the city is esti-
mated at from $4,000 to 100000. An
explosion occurred at these powder mills
about three years ago, when little damage
was done to property, except that owned
by the powder company.

ERALLY.

Dave Blakeley having gone Down to
Washington to see Bill King, telegraphs
as follows to the Pioneer:
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 1.-THE Presi-
dent has decided that MIR. Kings rights under
the rules shall be respected, and that he shall
control the appointments OF his district Keith
will therefore be re-appointed in Minneapolis
Th.s is disappointment to Mr.. Mcmillan, who
had recommended Wolverton. Gen. Baker
was appointed Surveyor General in spite of
Mr.. McMillan's protest, he recommending
Deacon Wilson.
The st. Paul postoffice was conceded to Mr.
Mcmillan, in accordance with the long stand
ing rule of giving the Senator the postmaster
ship in his own town, but the President
and Postmaster General both urged
him not to remove Mr.. Wheelock.
who, he said, was an efficient postmaster and
a brilliant party editor, but Mr.. Mcmillan, who
has been overslaughed at ali points, will
take Joe's scalp, this being the only one he can
get. He has recommended DR.. Day.
Baker has resigned in pursuance of a long
meditated purpose, his health being unequal
to the strain OF the Washington climate. OF
course the opposition OF Mcmillan to his con-
frmation, which he is pushing at ally points,
will be as turtle as it is foolish.
1t is not that he loves Baker less, but the
Deacon more. This days work is understood
to have been to establish the status OF the
Minnesota boilers in Washington. The GER
tain removal of " heelock, however, is greatly
regretted here by the President, the Postmas-
ter General and the MnnesOtanS.

Etiquette in Washington.
from the Chicago Times.1


The hardest thing for daughter of So
ciety visiting in Washington to learn is
said to be that social rules here are as an
tipodal to fashions fats in other parts of
the country as though this were city in
Cochin, China. Ladies come for few
days, and almost crack their stays with
spleen at learning they must 60 around
and do all the initiatory calling. "She
knows I am here, and she ought to call
first" said Chicago society lady stop
ping briefly at the Arlington House. 1t
was the wife of Western Congressman
to whom she was referring, and all the
explanation in the world could not con-
vince the fair sojourner that she must
start out, find the Hon. Mrs. Blank, and
make the first courtesy. Why this should
be etiquette is more than will agree to

etiquette everywhere else. l am only
doing all possible to save feminine heart
burning by telling the dimity dears what
they must expect. When you come to
Washington be prepared to hunt ont
your society friends in person, or do not
tear your chignons in anguish at finding
yourselves neglected.
