BIG EXPLOSION.
A NAPTHA TANK AT OIL WORKS
BLOWS UP.

TOLEDO, March 15.-At AS this morning people
we're aroused by a tremendous explosion, waking
everybody in the city, accompanied by shock like
that of an earthquake. The people rushed into the
streets to find out the cause, and were directed by
the light of an enormous conhagration to the lin
seed oil mills of Narney, Taylor u Co. on the mid
die of the grounds along the river above the Union
depot, which were on fire. The report was that of
the explosion of the boilers of the burning estab-
lishment. The oil mills, machinery and contents
are a total loss. They consisted of an elevator
1sdd for the storage of flax seed, large building
containing machinery for grinuIng and pressing
nil and large brick building used for refinery
The fire was discovered in the latter. An alarm
was turned in, but before the iremen reached the
scene a large iron tank of naptha, used in refining
Dill exploded with tremendous report, entirely
lemolishing the building throwing the burning
oil in all directions and firing other buildings of the
establishment. The windows of residences in the
icinity were smashed for two squares away, and
those inside of the Oliver House, a three-stOry
brick hotel over a square away, were entirely de-
nolished on the side next to the explosion.
Some fifty feet away from the burning building
vas twO.story frame structure used as an Office
by the yard master of the Dayton and Michigan
road This was partly wrecked by the explosion,
md fired, being entirely consumed. Just across
The tracks from the explosion was long frame
car shed which hwas knocked into kindling wood.
A hundred yards south is another railroad office,
near the round house. The windows were blown
in. A number of persons in the vicinity of the
cfice were knocked down ly the conclusion, but no
serious accidents are reported.

.sue with which we have nothing to do, and which

Issue with which we have nothing to do and which
we cannot possibly arbitrate or CONTROL
The present strike, continued Mr. Gould.
Originated in the discharged of an emplove named
Hall, on the Texas Pacific, which road is in the
hands of the United States court We have no
more right to attempt to control the working of
that system than the workin IN themselves, and
would be as completely incompetent to do so as
anv outsider"
Regarding another aspect of the strike, Mr.
Gould said: THE public may not be aware of it,
but the same L sue was raised when some men were
discharged on the Wabash railwat, at the time
when 1t was in control of the United States court
Powderly, chief of the executive committee Of the
knights of Labor, called up, me to secure the re
instatement of these men. The, subject then was
fully discussed, and told him that had no power
in the matter, not even advisory, without request
from the court At that interview ItOld Powderly
il any grievances existed among the men, if he
would bring them to our attention, we would en-
deayor TO right them. We recognized the neces
sity of remaining on good terms "ith our people,
to whom one .alf of the earnings of the road 90
yearly. The present strike came without notice
and not in consequence of grievance cited against
us, and in view of my interview with Powdery,
whom believed to be a fair-minded man, was all
the more surprising to me As to the future, Mr..
Gould said; 81 am advised that great numbers OF
the strikers are not in sympathy with the move
ment, and will return to work as ION as assured
of protection by the civil authorities. 1t is our
intention to resume at once, and as fast as this
protection is afforded
cuss other features of the strike beyond the state
ment that the company couldn't possibly join
hands with the knights of Labor against the Unit
ed States supreme court
In their war on another system, which he asserted
the present strike involved, Mr.. Gould further as
serted, that the Knights of Labor had evidently
discovered already through public sentiment that
they were exercising their power in favor of ,aH
issue strictly against law and order and that it was
more of war against the general public than the
road. 1t was closing manufactures along the lines
of the road; it was stopping the shipment of Goa
and other commodities to points where the people
were liable to suffer great privaton 1t was NOR,
the fight of the public than that of the company
but the latter, in the protection of its own Lawful
rights, would exercise every lawful energy to NEE
the demands of those patronizing the road in al
departments.
Mr.. Gould stated he was in receipt of telegram
from manufacturers and others along the compa
ny's lines, stating they would be compelled to shu
down, but at the same time placing no blame upol
the company or its management.

IMPORTANT LAND DECISION.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-The secretary of the
interior, to-day, rendered decision in the ex-
parte of James Britton, reversing the decision
of the commissioner of the general land office, of
November r. 1885, which held that as under sec
ton 3,2b, revised statutes, person was entitled to
but one preemption right, he could not, after per-
fecting one presumption right be permitted to COM
mute a homestead entry into cash entry under
section 2,30l, revised statutes, as this would be
equivalent TO a second endorsement of the same
right in respect to the interests involved. This
decision is regarded by land officials as the most
importent public land decision made by the inte
rior department in many years.

PROPOSED MEASURES.
SILVER OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
PARK-INDIAN LANDS.

WASHINGTON, March 16.-Representative Little,
of Ohio, introduced bill in the house providing
that the president may cause silver dollars to be
coined on previous account, in limited quantities,
if he shall succeed in reaching an agreement with
at least two leading European nations to do the
same. The president is also authorized to appoint
commission to negotiate treaties upon satisfacto
ry assurances from aleasttwO such nations of their
desire to enter into the proposed arrangements.
The Holman committee, appointed to inquire
into the expenditure of public Ineys in the lnd-
an service and Yellowstone ParK, submits draft of
bill to provide for the appointment of commits
sion to inspect and report on the condition of the
Indians and Indian affairs, and to make number of
recommendations, am~ng them the following
That the money hereafter 8p )rOprated for the ed
ucation of Indian children shall be used for the
establishment and support of industrial schools,
and that the number of agencies be reduced
as to Yellowstone park that the
boundary line dividing Montana and Wyoming be
changed so that the strip of land on the north end
of the park now, in Moutana shall be made part
of Wyoming, and the western line of the park be
the western line of Wyoming, as now established,
and the strip of land eight miles wide, immedi-
aely south of the park, and the strip OF land i'm
medately on the east side of the park to the width
of thirty miles, be reserved from sale, and a sIin
gent law enacted against the destruction of forests
thereon.
The report is signed by Representatives Holman
Hatch and Peel A minority of the committee
consisting of Representatives cannon and Ryan
believe the Indians, if the tribal relations con
tinue, should be placed on compact reservations
and kept there. The movement is to assist then
temporarily in industrial pursuits and to such ed
ucation as they will utilize. The proper policy tt
pursue, however, according to the minority, no
only in the Indian Territory but generally, anC
especially in the large reservations in Dakota anC
Montana, where the lands are agricultural, is t
cut up the reservation system at the roots abolish
the tribal relations, allot TO each INDIAN adult
tract of land in severalty, and sell the remainder
10 actual settlers.
