blew out, scattering debris in every direc-
ton. Several hundred workmen employed

home, and q number of them had stopped
along the trench to watch the experiment.
They were struck by debris and flying mis-
siles, as though bomb had exploded. The
pipe was braced with heavy timbers, and
these were hurled into the crowd with
terrific force. The workmen and specta-
tors were thrown down by the force of the
explosion, and one of them killed. He
was hurled against brick house and had
his neck broken.
A general stampede followed. The cries
of the inj1red could be heard for several
squares. An investigation showed that
two men has been killed outright and
about fifteen others injured, two of them
fatally.

1t Looks as Though War in Europe;
were Impossible.
copyrighted, 1889, by the New York Associated
Press.
BERLIN, August Ioth.-Among the tirstl
fortunate fruits of Eugland's attachment 70,
the triple alliance are the cessation of.
Servo Bulgarian war preparations, and the.
simultaneous suspension o; the Creian ris-
ing.
The swiftness of the combined diploI
matte sction OF England, Germany, AUS
tria and Italy upon the Cretan question, as
propounded by the Greek note TO the
powers, is the result OF 4 previous under
standing of the powers with Turkey on
united action in the East. The Greek note,
which threatened an intervention in Crete,
inspired as it was by Russia, met with de-
cisive response from the four powers within
two days.
A semi-ofiicial article in the Journal dc
50, PeterSJotrg admits the prlmptitude Of
the decision Of the powers has prevented
the movement from assuming the proper
tons which would menace the peace Of
Europe.
These diplomatic successes inspire the
foreign office with brighter hopes of draw
ing Spain into the league. The Italian
Government having better relations with
the Spanish than mas Germany, it has been
intrusted with the carrying on of the ne
gotiations at Madrid, and sends Signor Cial-
DIM SIS a special envoy.
If Signor Cisldini succeeds in perfecting
the arrangement similar to that with Eug-
land, Prince Bismarck will have so rtnged
France with a circle of powers hostile to
a war of revenge IS to euaraatee permsnent
peace and the probable reduction in the
ornaments.
Emp, ror William and Prince Henry will
arrive to-day by G special train. Emperor
Francis Joseph'S arrival is timed for Mon
day at P. NJ. The ceremonial of his re-
cep;ion will be similar to that of King
Humberl's, although he has asked, on
account of his recent affection, very
quiet welcome.
Popular curiosity is not excited over the
visit, public interest being conferred in the
Cars coming, which is now fixed for the
Goth inst. 1t is doubtful il the Gar will
enter Berlin, although he will stay four
days in Potsdam. His morbid dread Of
facing q crowd prevents his visit to the
capital.
The Kreuzzcit,sng referring to the state

ing the documents. This is the only
foundation for General Boulanger's story.

HOG CHOLERA.
Efficient and Practical Means of Pre-

Efficient and Practical Means of Pre-
venting the Disease.
WASHINGTON, August 10th.-Secretary
Rusk made public to-day the report of the
Commission appointed to investigate hog
cholera. The Commission consisted of
Professor Burrill of the Illinois University,
DR.. Shakespeare of Philadelphia, and Pro-
fessor WEIGH of Johns Hopkins University.
The Commission reports on two diseases,
hog cholera and the swine plague, but
through lack of time and money does not
report any absolute remedy. The Commits
sion is not satisfied that incubation with
disease germs IS safe preventive, but de-
clares that the threshold of an important
discovery has been crossed, and further ex-
perimenls will probably demonstrate that
chemical products of the hog cholera germ
in artificial culture, used for incubation,
have the same power to create immunity
as the disease germ itself, aud afford safe,
efficient and practical means Of preventing
a disease that causes loss to the country of
$50, 100000 annually. The Commission
recommends further experiment, and says
that disinfection treatment and quarantine
are alike impracticable under the condi-
tons which exist in the West, Northwest
and other regions where hog.raising is ex-

COLORADO FLOOD.
The Town of Pueblo Partly Submerged
Great Damage Done.


PUEBLO (Col. }, August 1Oth-A tremend-
Gus rain for hundred Of miles up the Ar
kansas river last evening caused alarming
foods. Extensive levees had been built,
but small gap was left through negli-
gence, and into this th : water poured and
inundated two dozen blocks in that part of
the city south of the river to depth of
from one to six feet. The business portion
on that side was covered, and much dam
age resulted.
The heaviest losers are McCord, Brag-
don 81 Co., wholesale grocers, who are
damaged twenty thousand dollars by their
cellar being filed. The railroad yards are
partly overlooked, and owing to the dam
age done to both the Rio Grande and the
Santa Fe tracks between Pueblo and
Mountain neither will have trains to
Canyon City for three days.
The Rio Grande meanwhile sends its
passengers and business around by the
way of Buena Vista and Colorado Midland
road without detention. Farms along the
river are badly cut up.
