THE AMNESTY LAW.
a scandalous Story Regarding the Objects Of
the Act

a scsndalous Story Regarding the Objects of
the Act
NEW YORK, June 30-A scandalous story
is printed by the Mail aud Express from its
correspondent at Washington. This cor
respondent alleges that the object of the
law recently passed giving amnesty to de-
serters from the regular army was to clear
up the record of certain wealthy gentle
man formerly in the army, but who de-
serted q generation or more ago, and has
since been in constant terror lest he be ap-
pretended and imprisoned. The journal
continues:
There are thousands of others TO whom
the law is great relief and who could not
have commanded influence TO secure such
legislation. In the early days of the gold
excitement it was difficult to keep men in
the army, and many enlisted solely for the
purpose OF Tree transportation to Califor-
MIA, Nevada and Colorado, and soon de-
serted and took refuge in the mining dis
tricts 1t is said that there are thousands
of such men in the West, wealthy and pros
porous, and some are worth large sums of
money, who have all their lives been in
constant danger OF arrest and have been the
victims of Dlackmail. An old artillery offi-
Ger told ME he met in California not long
ago wealthy man who formerly had been
member OF his company and deserted in
1850, went to the mines, got rich, and was
now highly respected, but lived in terror
The same officer knew another rich man in
the State whose circumstances were similar
He had paid thousands upon thousands of
dollars in blackmail. Some of the richest
and best men in Arizona are down on the
army records as absent without leave.
These men can now 60 to the nearest mill

discharge without anybody being the

Morrill, gave notice that he would, at the
earliest possible moment move to take up
the Tariff Bill.
Platt said he could not consent to any sug-
gestion that interfered with the Idaho Bill,
as much as he believed in the Tariff Bill,
and as anxious as he was to see il passed
would not consent to its coming up until
the Idaho Bill was disposed of.
Morgan said there had been no under

Oil Refinery.
Seven Persons Perish In the Awful COI0agra-
tiOn = Caused by the Extremely
Hot Weather.
Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALL.

LOUISVILLE, June 30.-Five acres Of tlre
was the awful sight witnessed at the
Standard Oil Refinery, Fifth and c streets,
this morning. The immense structure was
blazing at every point, and the heat was so
intense that even 200 yards away persons
were overcome. sxA
Following is list of casualties:
ANDREW MCDONALD, aged Il years,
badly burned; will recover.
JOHN MCDONALD. aged IA years, liter
ally roasted alive; cannot live.
DAN O'NEIL, aged u years, burned al
most to a crisp and will die.
JOHN KLINE, aged % years, frightfully
burned; cannot recover.
SEYEREN SKENE, aged IL years. terribly
burned; will recover.
JOHN A. PETTIGO. aged a. years, badly
though not fatally burned.
Arthur YoNKERs, aged IS years, slightly
burned.
The fire broke out at S:45 o'clock. and
was the result of the hot weather. Satur-
day a tank OF crude oil came to be refined
Some Of the workmen thought the tank too
hot to be emptied, and the work was post
poned. This morning it became necessary
to run the oil into another tank, when In
spector Skene, John Pettigo and another
workman, mounted the manhead and un-
screwed the cap. In an instant there was a
dull puff as the vapor escaped.
The gas. heavier than the air, sank to the
ground, spreading out all over the locality
aud moving with the wind Almost in a
twinkling it reached one of the sheds, under
which was fire. There was flash as the
infammable vapor ignited. and immedi-
ately after there was tremendous explo-
sion. The tank was blown to pieces and
hundreds Of gallons of burning oil scattered
all over the great works. A wall of fire 800
feet high and nearly 900 feet long moved
with lightning rapidly to the buildings.
At once the canning-house, filed with
thousands of gallons of oil, the cooper
shop, carpenter-shop, pump and engine
houses. the filling and lubricating houses,
storage houses, paint and glue houses and
900 feet of platform were all ablaze. The
employees on the grounds and persons i'll
the neighborhood ran for their lives. All
escaped except those mentioned.

NEW YORK, June 3O.-At a meeting of

odore A. Havemeyer, CHARLES 0. Foster and
j. L. Searls Jr. were empowered to elect
William F. Hayemeyer, William Dick and

ment prepared by the Trustees was read,
stating that they, with counsel, had under
consideration plan for reorganization of
the company to meet all the requirements
OF the State law. The statement called at
tention TO the fact that the Court of Ap-
peals' decision was technical. While it op-
posed mOnop0lies it did not attack the prin-
ciple OF pooling the business of kindred
interests. Colonel j G.. Reif asked for a

The Report of the Trial Board to Be- Made
To-Day.
WASHINGTON, June 30.-Captain Erben,
President of the Trial Board on the new
cruiser Philadelphia, was at the Navy De-
partment to-day in consultation with Judge
Advocate General Remy as to the require
ments of the contract under which the ship
was built. The report of the board will be
made tomorrow. Charles Cramp was also
at the department, and it is said took the
first steps toward obtaining a new trial for
the ship. He will wait however, until the
report of the board has been made public
before he makes formal application for
the second test, if he should conclude to
run that risk. In the event of new trial
he will have to pay the cost of the first one.
1t is understood on good authority that the
board will report that the average main
tanned speed of the cruiser was fraction
short of 1917 knots, and that it will make
such representations to the Secretary as to
the condition of the test as will practically
preclude the granting of a new trial. This
will give the builder speed premium of
100000.

Special Dispatches to THE MORNING CALI.

LONDON. June 30.-Ths Buenos Ayres
correspondent Of the Times telegraphs that
tn National Bank of Buenos Ayres sus-
peIded payment Saturday, and shares fell
fpm los to 100 and closed at rs. a panic
vas created on the Bourse and a general
feeling OF distrust prevailed. Gold now
commands premium of 14S.
Later dispatches show that the Times
adyices are inaccurate. 1t appears that the
bank only suspended payment of the quar-
terly dividend, which was approved at the
last annual meeting. The President Of the
National Bank of Buenos Ayres sent dis
patch to the Argentine Minister here. in
which he said the Directors of the bank
4 had decided to suspend the quarterly divi-
!, dend until the shareholders meeting that
yearly authorizes the payment of definite
dividend He adds that the bank wishes
by this means to consolidate itself and con-
vert its shares into safe investment SO as

NEW YORK, June 3O.-The Banco Ma
cional is the principal bank of Buenos
Ayres, and its capital amounts TO about

national Government. One of the leading
merchants doing business with the Argen-
tine Republic states that its financial con-
dition OF late has been unsatisfactory. Presi-
den: Celman determined on policy of re-
[ fern, by making all the necessary eeOnomiet
in the expenses of the concern and institute
ing a ahange in the management of the
National Bank. This necessitated the
resignation of certain Directors of that
Institution. The Minister of Finance,
SenOr Uriburn. rather than demand such
designations retired in favor of Garcia. In

Directors, it is supposed the suspension of
payments has been caused, but merchants

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Stewart
has become Respondent over the silver situ-
alton and now believes there will be no

not this Congress. He believes also that
the Conference Committee was selected
with the intention that they should not
agree or even try to agree. He charges
that the action of the President in ap-
pointing Sherman Chairman of the Senate
conferrees was to induce delay, and that
Sherman so understood it and will call
meeting of the Conference Committees
whenever he feels like it and not before
AS Senator Jones of Nevada fathered the
Silver Bill he should have been appointed
Chairman of the Senate conferrees, but
that would not suit the gold men, as under

Reed to be in the plot to delay this leeisla-

TO know when he will return.

follows: New York, 7S0; New Orleans, 500;
St. Louis, S0o; Cincinnati. 500; Chicago, 7So;

duration cooled the atmosphere materially.
The registers of vital statistics are to-day
registering death certificates and should the
present rate keep up the mortality list will
be larger than that of last week. A major
ity of the deaths reported are due directly to
the heat. The death rate among horses is
also growing very large.

tions from heat numbered eight. Two were
fatal.
