There seems to be no room for doubling
that the explosion in close proximity to Steven
SONS brewery yesterday morning was caused
by dynamite bomb. Persons familiar WIN
the action of dynamite declare that it produces
nrecisely such effects as were caused in the
neighbo rhood of this explosion. The amount
Of damage was really surprisingly small, and
not single person was injured Aosoiu.eiy
nothing is known of the perpetrator OF OniS
outrage, nor is any reason apparent why an
attack should be made on Mr.. stevenson
property. Dynamite operations in New ork
have been rare of late. The last one OF con
sequence was Moneys attempt to destroy the
steamship Queen by throwing bomb on her
deck. That there has been resumption OF
this nefarious business is an uncomfortable
thought.

BE Done at Samoa.
NEW YORK, January 2l.-A reporter
called on Admiral Gherardi, the command
ant of the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and asked
him what he thought about the Samoan
troubles.
"I don't like 10 express any opinion
about such matters, for it is hardly my
place to do 50, said the Admiral.
Suppose that the United States should
20 to war with Germany over this Samoan
difficulty, whare 60 you think the lighting
would take place ?" inquired The reporter.
ooh, it would he a naval affair, pre-
sumo" answered the Admiral. THAT is
if our Government decided 10 assert its
rights and clsims in Samoa"
Bat would We have any show eganst
the German navy ?"
We'll we have been making great
many Improvements in Our navy, but II
does not in any way compare with that
of Germany, Of conrse. But che would be
at a disadvantage if she attempted TO back
mn her clsim to Samoa, on account OF the
great distance her vessels would have to 90.
II would not take the United States very
long to get men together and hurry them
across the continent and embark them ior
Samoa. We have vessels enough for trans
ports and could land big force on the Is
| land long before Germany could get there
That would be the seat of war. Eirtnworks
and various defences could he thrown up,
20 that our forces cculd hold the island
even if Germany saw fit to send over some
Of her best vessels. 1t isn't an easy mat
ter by any means TO transport $1,000 or

TO capture the island, if we only made mp
our minds that it was our duty TO occupy

"But how would we fare if Germany do
cided TO attack us directly"
81 don't anticipate anything of that sort
Every nation knows that we are only yul
rersble on the water. 10 every other Wsy
we are strong, for We are country oi

SCRANTON, PA, January 21.-One

GOFF FOR SENATOR, TOO.

They Had Elected Him Governor.
CHARLESTON. W. VA, January 2l.-
The Republican members OF the Legisla-
ture held their caucus this evening, and by
an unanimous vote conferred the empty
honor Of the nomination for United States
Senator upon Hon. Nathan GO1, late can
didale for Governor.
The settlement cf the deadlock in the
Senate cast a feeling of depression over the
brethren and their proceedings we're Of the
very tsmest character. The whole meet
ing did not last more than half an hour
and fully q third OF the members were
absent at various times or took no part.
Hon. Edwin Maxwell, Of Harrison
county. another late candidate for Cover
nor, was made chairman. The first sub
iect under consideration was the possibil-
ity Of declaring or withholding the declar-
alton of vote for Governor in joint
session. The ground was generally taken
by the unpIeiudiced and fair-minded
gentlemen who discussed the matter that
the vote must bs declared n spite Of the
fraudulent certificates from Ksuawha
county. and by the blue blazes they would
have il declared. No definite action was
taken in this matter
The question Of balloting for United
States Senator tomorrow was then taken
up. This. toe, was talked around consid-
erably. The majority seemed to think
that an elect on could not be legally held
tomorrow. but considering that the Demo
Gratis should have to elect the Senator, they
wisely conclude TO do nothing in regard TO
this matter bat leave it in allegiance
Nominations for United States Senator
were then called for and Hon. \. Goiil s
name was the only one presented. he
was nominated by exclamation.

oped these points.

night and did not adjourn until 10 this

discussed in everp detail. At the request
of several members, who were unprepsred
to vote for 3 nominee for Senator, the eau
Gus was deferred and the members agreed
TO split up their votes. This will pre-
vent an election. Another conference will
be held at an early day, probably Wednes-
day, when the matter will be more fully
discussed and steps taken to place party

Another important action was taken and
