SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-THE Giant
Powder Works, in the District of Berkeley,
across the bay, exploded yesterday after.
noon, killing twelve white men and twelve
or fifteen Cinnamon. This is the third ex.
plosion the Company has sustained, all at
tended with loss of life. The explosion oc-
Cured in the picking-room and all at work
there were killed. There we're about G, ,00O
pounds of powder in the room. All the
victims were blown to atoms, the largest
piece found being the skull of Chinaman
and the queue attacked.
There were six houses inside the works
all blown to sliyers but the workmen in
them escaped with the exception Of one
man in the magazine, no trace of whom
was found. Outside the works are six
houses, including boarding house for the
hands, all more or less damaged. The
cause of the explosion is supposed
to be carelessness. The workmen
are hired by the piece and were
directed to use wooden mallets
in picking the cartridges, but they found
they could work faster and make more
money by using an iron hammer-a risky
business around giant powder. 1t is sup
posed that some man hit once too many
and his cartridges went off, igniting the
powder before him, which communicated
with the adjacent packages with the terri
BILE result noted.

WASHINGTON. April 17.-Every few days
report is sent out from Washington to
some paper and extensively copied in the
papers throughout the country to the effect
that Mr.. Tilden will positively withdraw as
a Presidential candidate. The latest report
is that he has written letter of decina-
ton and placed it in the hands of one OF
his friends to be read before the New York
State Convention. Many of these reports
are purely imaginative and the Others are
made upon such poor authority that they
are worse than idle. The dispatch to the
Philadelphia Bulletin was presumed to have
been made!on the authority of Speaker Ran
dali. Yesterday morning Mr.. Randall told
your correspondent emphatically that he
had never said anything to warrant such a
statement or presumption. "Mr. Tilden is
as certainly Presidential candidate as l
am Speaker" he said. Mr.. Randall speaks
authoritatively. No man in Washington
stands nearer to Mr.. Tilden. and no man is
better acquainted with his plans. That
Mr.. Tilden is a candidate is moral GER
tainty, all dispatches to the contrary not
withstanding.

MR.. HALsTEAD's REMARKS
New YORK, April l7.-Mr. Murat Hal
stead, of the Cincinnati Commercial, is
stopping In this city for few days. In an
interview he freely expressed his opinion
regarding the political outlook, and reter-
ated his conviction that Secretary Sherman
would certainly secure the Ohio delegates
to the Chicago Convention. He was san
guine that the Indications were strongly
against the nomination of General Grant,
who, he said Ihad been. steadily losing
ground, and whose only chance was to Sc
cure the solid vote OF the Illinois delega-
ton.
This he did not think was by any means
possible. In certain contingencies he
thought that either Washburn or Senator
Edmunds would carry off the prize. Said
Mr.. Halstead, There is no doubt in my
mind, and has not been, that Secretary
Sherman will carry the OHIO State delega-
ton, bat think there has been a mistake
in deferring the Ohio Convention to such a
late date. 1t should have been called two
months ago 50 as to give him the advantage
and prestige of solid backing. General

stead. ut is absurd to talk about his car
