ara two other daily papers OF equal size
in SEATTLE, boutwell, patronized by home
advertisers. The columns of these three
daiIies prove, in a more convincing man

that the great majority Of the inhabit-
ants of Seattle are live, entsrprising,
rushing; that they have faith in the
city and its surroundings: that while
they believe in its future greatness. they
are ready and willing to help its growth.
When We read the Seattle papers We
do mot wonder at the "boom" which ex-
lists there, nor at the big prices paid for
business and residence property. A
people that gives such liberal support

LONDON, Jan. pa Dublin dispatch
to the st. James Gazette says: "AlthOugh
wide belief exists that the authorities
will now be able to bring the Phoenix
Park assassins to justice, the real fact is
that FarrelPs assertion that the Inner
Circle was so composed that it's members
were unknown to each other, and there
fore not to be identified is only too well
founded"
The adjourned examination of the ac-
cused cOnspiratOrs next Saturday, a list
of government officials whose murder had
been arranged, will be produced.
The Times in leading editorial SAYS
sit is evident that Saturdays proceedings
in Dublin unveiled a conspiracy to muir
der executive officials. Although the Sc
crets ofthe prosecution thus far have been
kept with praiseworthy discretion it is not
believed that counsel for the Crown has
begun with the strongest part of the case.
The inquiry will probably be prOtracted
for several weeks,''
DUBLIN, Jan. 22.-The Pope, in letter
to Cardinal McCabe, of which copies have
been sent to all the Irish Bishops, con-
graduates them on their zeal in calming
the country and gniding the people. He
regrets that evil societies have not ceased
to trust to deeds of crime, but seek reme-
dies which lead to the destruction
of the faithful. The people should be
firmly persuaded that the national cause
should be kept distinct from the deeds of
these unhallOwed associations. He sug-
gests that leave to attend popular meet
ings should only be allowed to those of the
clergy in whose wisdom the Bishops have
especial confidence as able to guide an ex-
cited assembly and defend the most judi
ciOus courses. The clergy thus constituted
the guardians of public security and the
defenders of the common veal, will be of
great utility to the country in its dis
turhed state. -

The store at Gold Mountain was robbed

were killed. The road agents then went
to the store at Silver Head and robbed il.

of the robbers were also killed. Gold

About 10 o'clock this morning from eight

two white and half dozen Chinese sec

car, but were met with a fusilade from
L. NJ. Ruso, the express messenger.
They returned the fire, and some thirty
shots were exchanged, when the robbers.

been killed or wounded. The passengers

Further Details of the Disaster
Twenty-Five Cinnamon KilIed-The
Scene at the Wreck-Perished in the
Discharge of His Duty-Danger of
Further Explosions Past.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-One white
man named Cook and between 40 and so
Chinese were blown to atoms by the ex-
plosiOn of the giant powder works at Point
Clement, near West Berkley, yesterday.
Nearly the entire plant was DESTROYED by
fire, which began Immediately after the
explosion. The fire is still raging. The
magazine, containing over 200 tons of
powder, is still safe. About eight tons
exploded.
A dispatch from Oakland SAYS: The
scene at the Giant Powder Works this
morning was one of devastation and
death. In a semi-circular excavation the
packing houses are located. The ground
is covered with debris of timber. Huge
rocks thrown by the violence Of the series
of explosions are on all sides.
Lying on the ground are the mangled
bodies of twenty-one Cinnamon. One
Chlnaman died last night in the temporary
hospital. So far as known at noon, one
white man and twenty-five Cinnamon
were killed.
The white man killed is Ferdinand
KOmtf, Assistant Superintendent. He
could have saved himself, but remained to
try and save the works. When the first
explosion occurred he ran to the nitro
glycerine house to turn ON the water to
eXtinguish the fire, and was killed by the
explosion OF this house. 1t is thought
that eight or ten bodies are in the ruins.
A dozen or more dead bodies lay in sight
all night, but the explosions were fire.
quent. The flames ragged fiercely and the
danger was too great to permit their be-
ing gathered up. Thirteen wounded
Cinnamon are lying in the quarters of the
Chinese. The greater number of these
will recover.
The cause of the explosion still remains
mystery, and whether the powder in
every one of the packing houses exploded
cannot be told. They are all caved in
and filled with debris. The magazines
are uninjured and the danger of further
explosion is deemed at an end.
