A DEADLY EXPLOSION.

Dispatches from Stockton, California.
inform US that on last Saturday n ter.
rible explosion took place at the head
of Stockton slough in that city. A
crowd Of more than 200 people had
assembled to witness the trial OF a new
propeller pump set in the slough and
run by threshing engine. The engine
had only heen running few moments
when both ends were blown out and
the fly wheel blown TO atoms. Those
who stood near were prostrated, and
the body Of the engine was blown a
distance Of $50 feet through the crowd.
The dead lay in every direction, some
falling into the slough from bridge,
and ten or twelve bodies lay in heap
at the northwest corner Of tho bridge,
others lay strewn dead and dying on
the street, blown from fifty to one hun
dred feet. The heads of some were
blown TO pieces, and others blown TO
the ground with such force as to break
every bone in their bodies. Faces.
hands and whole persons were steamed
in dirt and smoke and cinders. The |
wounded were promptly cared for, and
the dead left undisturbed until the ex-
element had subsided, when they were
to the ceroner's office. The
explosion was the result of reckless
ness on the part of the engineer. The
steam gauge had refused to work, and
after the engineer had attempted to
ix it and failed, 'he screwed down the
iafety valve and went on with the
work Five minutes before the acci-
lent he was warned that he could,
never work the engine in that condition
md he answered, "She will either work
II bust" Seventy persons were killed
.mong whom was Avery, the engineer
n charge. Twenty-six more were
and at least six of them will
lot recover.

FEARS OF A VETO,

Although the anti Chinese bill passed
Congress week ago, Mr.. Hayes, the
de .jure President, thus far refuses to
sign it; and since the Methodist preach.
ers of Boston and a horde of other
Eastern Sentimentalists and fanatics,
have crowded around His Fmudulency,
clamering for its veto, it is feared that
the weak backed hypocrite, true to his
instincts, will refuse to sign the bill
and thus let it die "a natural death"
or apply the veto soalpel to its corpus.
Meantime, however, strong efforts
are being brought to bear upon him to
secure his signature. Hundreds of pc
titiOns are going up from Chinese rid
den people of the Pacific coast, and
vast meetings are being held in almost
every city west of the "Rockeys,"
strong " urging him to attach his fraud
full autograph to the bill so that it may
oecome law. The people Of San
Francisco closed their business houses
yesterday and Joined in one grand mul-
titudinious conclave in the interests of
this bill.
The following is the latest, by yes
terday's dispatches relating to HAYES
action in the matter:
