ANTWERP, Sept 7.--Dynamite ex-
ploded yesterday In . cartridge factory in
the vicinity Of the Bourse, killing many
persons and doing much damage to prop
erty. Portions Of the Bourse were struck
by burning fragments and set on fire,
causing panic In that building, which
at the time was crowded. The cartridge
factory was situated behind the docks,
upon which millions Of cartridges were
being loaded. It was adjacent to the
petroleum stores; two large Russian pc
troleum warehouses were set on fire and
are now burning. Other stores are en-.
dangered. Police, gsndsrmes and troops
are assisting In the work Of extinguish.
ing the flames, while priests and sisters
Of charity are looking after the injured.
The city 10 enveloped In dense smoke.
The damage 10 property will reach many
millions. The hre IL still burning fierce
ly, and the best the aremen hope for 10 TO
extinguishit in twenty-four hours. The
heat from the burning masses Of petr0-
leum is intense, and It is impossible
to approach within . hundred yards.
Several vessels have been burned q
their docks and others were only
saved through the promp test action
Of their officers in towning them out Of
danger. The fre II not now spreading,
and it is hoped, II the wind does not
rise during the night, that the flames
can be confined to the present limits.
The explosion occurred in q workshop
where large number OF old cartridges
were being taken to pieces. Navy men
and women were employed in this shop,
and they were actively engaged in
breaking up the old cartridges. There
were fully 35,000, 900 Of these in and
about the premises, part Of them
already broken. The flames covered
two acres Of ground and rise to an i'm.
mense height Amid the fierce roar OF
the loud reports Of explosions, to which
there seems to be no end
These explosions are supposed to be OF
packages of cartridges stored in the
buildings, which seem to remain intact
until the hot tongues Of flame are &C.
tually upon them. At midnight the low.
est estimate is that there are 800 dead
and 1000 injured. The explosions con-
tinue. At the American docks all the
ships have been saved, owing to the IA
vorable direction Of the wind. The vic.
Tins are mostl y factory girls. Windows
three miles distant were shattered by
the explosion.

Doctors Dumbfounded.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Ia, Sept. 5.--Franls
Havens, aged thirty-eight years, dropped
dead last evening. A postmortem ex.
animation disclosed an abnormal ar.
rangement Of the vital organs. The
heart was on the right side, the apex
lying against the second rib. A large
coagula, amounting to about two quarts
OF blood, surrounded the heart. The
liver was on the left side Of the abdo-
men, and the stomach on the right. The
lungs were only one-third the normal
size and were pressed upward. How the
man could have lived any length Of time
after birth seems mystery to surgeons.

GETTING THEIR TERMS.



d-ntly Predicted.
LONDON, Sept 5.-The Strikers Com
mittee is still in session at this hour "a
a. n.y. They have just decided to allow
the men now out to resume work on any
wharf where six ponce is paid for ordi-
nary work, eight pence for over time
and where the 'plus' on piece work ia
equally divided between the journey
men and the foreman. These are the terms
for which the strike was inaugurated;
but, Notwithstanding the fact that at
several Of the wharves the strikers
might have gone to work at these terms
any time during the past ten days, the
committee refused to allow any man to
resume work until the Docks Companies
had been brought to terms. The con.
sent now given is, therefore, accepted
as q sign Of weakening. The early col.
lapse Of the strike is again confidently
predicted.

The Swedes..-SOme Suggestions.

To the Editor Of the Wdtchmdn:-Therea are
no more interesting items in Vermont pa
pers than those relating to the proposed
colonies of Swedes, and there are no col
umns that can help the movement more
than yours Those who are Interested in
Vermont affairs can not be otherwise than
agreeably surprised at the amount already
accomplished by Commissioners Valentine.
There will, however, be great difficulties to
be overcome after the colonists arrive. In
connection with the plans for overcoming
these wish TO suggest two plans az worthy
of discussion, and possibly of adoption.
About the one there will be probably little
question; the other perhaps, may seem to
have the flavor of "paternal government"
The legislature can authorize towns to ex-
empt from taxation for a term Of years the
improvements to be made upon deserted"
farms. The towns, of course can lose
nothing from the taxable property by this
arrangements but may be able to provide
for a considerable increase in the future.
The principle is the same as that now
applied to manufacturing establishments.
The second plan is to give those who will
take deserted farms the benefit of cheap
capital. Even with industry and frugality
the Swede who has bought one of these
farms may find difficulty in paying interest,
taxes and the proposed 800 during any
one year. Then, too, the men who are to
sell them the land can not with justice be
munity could afford to do Again, II all the
colonsts could have dealings with one
owner, and be sure of uniform provisions
and equitable arrangements, many diff
culties would be removed. Finally, the
State of Vermont can make money out Of
land transactions which would be ruinous
to the ordinary farmer. The state can bor-
row money at three per centum. The COM
missioner can buy farms and provide all
that he suggests, and settle dozen families,
by raising as many thousand dollars. If
each of these families paid six per centum
upon the loan for twenty-four years, or ten
per centum for twelve years, the state would
receive back its principal and interest and
would give full title to each farm Half
million of dollars would give Vermont as
many colonies as can be desired at present.
There are, of course, objections to be made
but the plan seems worthy of being dis
cussed. G. w. SCOTT,
