Journey would be large, and there is also to
be considered the danger of injury to
the horses in the journey OF thousands
of miles. If man has good deal of
money invested in a horse, he will ma
turally be as careful of it as he Will if it is
any other kind of property. If California
can offer the winners money enough to
Justify their risks, the horses will go. 1t is
true that many California speeders are
brought East, but here they have large
circuit, with chances to win many purses.
The same inducement does not exist on
the Pacific coast for horses to go there, as
their circuit must be limited. l have no
doubt horsemen will find it advantageous
to winter their animals in California, and,

large winnings were offered, some first

Miss CleveIand's Ideas of Literary Work.
Chicago, July 2d.-It is expected that
Miss Cleveland will arrive in Chicago
within a few weeks, to enter upon her
duties as editor of Literary Life. The nego-
tiations which resulted in her undertaking
the work were carried on principally by
letter. In her reply to the first letter in
which the subject was broached, Miss
Cleveland says: I quite agree with your
idea and could not fail to have much en-
thusiasm in the conservation of my energies
towards its realization, while, however,
my possible embarkation in such an enter
prise as literary manager of such period
ical would necessarily involve a sacrifice of
other plans and interests. With my idea
of the position you propose to me, could
admit no conflicting or dividing interest to
interfere with that work" In a subsequent
letter. Miss Cleveland says: Your letter

enterprise which is characteristic of the
West, yet should l go to reside there, there

to me to have high destiny as the western
metropolis of art-as it is now the metrop-
oils of commerce. | have often wondered
why Chicago and the West did not support

lecture, its boulevards, its parks, etc. that

editing the same, still pursue my present
plans and studies. l could reserve nothing
any expectations on that ground would be

Frightful Explosion of Powder.
MoRRIsTowN IN. j., July 2d.-A terrible
explosion took place this morning, at 7:30
O'Clock, at the Atlantic Giant Powder
Works. situated between McCainesyille
and Drakesville, resulting in the loss of
ten lives and an injury to ten or twelve
Others The explosion took place in the
mixing house. The cause is as vet un-
known. The loss is not known at present,
but will be very heavy. The conclusion
was felt distinctly for twenty miles around,
and glass in houses five miles away was
shattered.
lSECoND DIsPATCHI
MoRRIsrowN On. j., July 2d.-The cause
of the Atlantic giant powder explosion at
McCainesville will probably never be
known. A double force of men began
work at A. NJ. to-day, so that business
could be suspended from Saturday until
Tuesday morning. The explosion occurred
in the mixing-room. The building was
blown into splinters, and fragments of the
bodies of the workmen were picked up 500
feet from the scene. Some pieces were
taken from the branches of trees many
yards away. The largest portion of body
yet found will not weigh fifteen pounds.
An immense excavation was made where
the building stood, and devastation is ap-
parent for 500 feet in every direction.
The Panama Canal.
New YoRK, July 2d.-The World saws
editorially; The opposition of the French
Chambers to De Lesseps' scheme for rails
ing the sum of $120, ,000, 900 for the purpose
of completing the Panama Canal appears
to be giving way to universal feeling that
France cannot permit any other nation to
reap the glory of carrying through the en-
terprise. De Lesseps' personal popularity,
and the fact that almost every petty French
shopkeeper has his savings invested in
Suez Canal stock have great deal to do
with this incomprehensible blindness on
the part of proverbially thrifty nation to
the financial aspect of the Panama under
taking. If the canal is eventually COM
pleted, it will not be by the present pro-
moters, but much more probably by some
American syndicate which, having pur-
chased the bankrupt concern a a moderate
cost, will have far better prospect of man.

the present company, overweighed as it is
by the enormous capital sunk in the un-
iertaking.
