Representative McKenna Wants a Silk
Culture Station-Full Reciprocity With
the Argentine Republic Favored-Ob-
jections to the Window Bill, Etc.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Representa-
tive McKenna today introduced bill to
provide for an experimental station for
silk culture in the State of California.
1t provides that the Secretary of Agricul-
ture shall purchase not less that thirty
nor more than forty acres in the State,
of which fifteen shall be planted in
mulberry trees and used for the culture
of silk-worm eggs and cocoons for dis
tribution. There is to be one superin-
tendent at $1,000, and an assistant
uperintendent at 81 ,S00per annum, and
the. sum of $4,000 ia, provided for the
expenses of the farm for the first year.
1t has transpired that in the debate on
the report of the committee on Gus
toms union, the United States delegates,
upon the authority of Secretary Blaine,
offered full reciprocity with the Argen-
tine Republic, DR.. Saenzpena, the dele
gate from that country, having advo-
Gated free trade in the minority report

have submitted to the House minority
report in opposition to the Window sill
yer bill. The report says: ''The bill is
very adroitly drawn to suspend silver
coinage, totally demonetize silver and

Associated Press Dispatches
SAN Francisco, March 27.-The alta
California will say tomorrow that the
negotiations which have been pending
for the past year, looking to the sale Of
certain local breweries to an English
syndicate, have reached the stage that
agreements have been entered into by
the Philadelphia brewery and the own
ers of the United States brewery to sell
their property, or controlling interest,
to Edward Fitzmaurice lennon, of Lon-
don. The sale of the United States
brewery was consummated today, when
part of the purchase money was paid.
The full purchase price is understood to
be in the neighborhood Of $3.50, 900. The
Philadelphia brewery is contracted to be
sold to Lennon, as representative Of
the syndicate, on the 1st day of August,
next, the price named in the bond being
81 $50, 900, Lennon agreeing to pay
81 $3.50, 900 on that date, and
81 100000 in bonds representing
a blanket mortgage on the
establishment. AS one-tenth
interest in the property belongs to a
minor heir, the property cannot be sold
except under order of the Probate Court,
which will take about sixty days, the
proprietors of the brewery agreeing to
obtain the order. The Wielands will
retain at least one-third interest in the
new corporation, and remain at the head
of affairs. There will be little outward
change in the management of any of the
breweries. Each will continue to be
corporation doing business on its own
account, consequently the sale does not
mean the formation of beer trust. 1t
is also stated that Mr.. Denicke, of the
fredericksburg brewery, has agreed to
sell that property when the other deals
are contaminated.

Treasurer Archer's Shortage.

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 27.-No one
seems to know the extent Of State
Treasurer Archer's defalcation, but the
amount is thought to be small. Init
mate friends, who have known of his
troubles since Monday, offered him the
amount needed to make good his short
age, but he rejected all offers.
LATER-Eight thousand dollars of the
State securities has been found so far,
and been pledged by Treasurer Archer
for his private account. President New
comber, of the Safe Deposit, and Trust
Company, says the only way the legis-
lative committee can gain access to
Archer's box in their building is to pre-
sent the keys and a power OF attorney
from that gentleman. A joint com
mittee of the Senate and House has
been appointed to investigate Archer's
accounts. The amount of his shortage
is supposed to be large. Archer's condl-
tion is serious, and no one is allowed to
see him other than his wife and daughter
and the attending physician.

A TARIFF CONTROVERSY.
The Leadville Board of Trade Sits Down

The Leadville Board of Trade Sits Down
on the Smelters.
LEADvILLE, Col, March 27.-The Board
of Trade has adopted resolutions declar-
ing that the resolutions recently adopted
by the smelter proprietors, to the effect
that there is scarcity in lead ores
mined at Leadville to meet the smelling
requirement, are without foundation, and
that the statement that the cost OF
smelling is gradually increasing from
year to year is not in accord
with the facts. The resolution further
declared that the industry of the West
can best be preserved by the imposition
of tariff on all silver-lead ores, as
proposed by the committee, and that
without such tariff many of the mines
will be compelled to close down; that
the kilograms sent East by the Harrison
Reduction Works, the Arkansas Val!
ley, American and Elgin smelt-
ers do not express or embpdy
the sentiments of this community
this district nor of the miners in it, but
are in direct opposition to the wishes o.
it's leading industry and OF all men en-.
gagged in it. The resolution was wired
to the Western members of Congress al

PERFECTLY FEASIBLE.
A RAILWAY THROUGH THE GRAND
CANON OF THE COLORADO.
Light Grades and Easy Curvatures-En-
gineer Stanton Considers the Plan Per-
fectly Practicable = The Journey
Through the Canon-Sublime Scenery.

DENVER, Colo, March s27.-Chief En-
gineer Robert B. Stanton, who left here
with corps of surveyors last November
to make preliminary survey for the
Denver, Colorado Canon and Pacific
railroad, from Grand Junction to the
Gulf of California, through the Grand
caiIon of the Colorado river, returned
home today from The Needles, CAL, for
couple Of weeks rest. Mr.. Stanton
and his party are the first men who
passed through this dangerous canon
sinceI Major Powell made the trip in
1859. In conversation tonight he said
the construction Of a railway through
the caflon was perfectly feasible, and
that from Grand Junction, Colo, to The
Needles, Call, distance of 900 miles,
the grade need not at any place exceed
twenty feet per mile, and for the greater
part of the distance would not be more
than from five to ten feet per mile, while
the curvature contrary to the general
explanation would be very light. These
were results much better than he had
anticipated.
Mr.. Stanton has gathered considerable
data upon the resources of the country
adjacent to the cafion. Between the
head of the Colorado river andsthe end
of the Grand cai1on he passed over $40
rapids. He graphically describes his
passage over rapid No. 465, below Peach
Springs, during which one of his boats
was damaged by collision with the rocks,
and he was washed over by wave,
thrown into whirlpool and
drawn downward into what seemed
bottomless river. He finally
came to the surface fifty feet from where
he went down and was rescued by his
men. These rapids are many times
more dangerous than the one where
President Brown and two men lost their
lives last summer, but on account of the
present party being supplied with life
preservers, no man during the whole
trip has been in danger of drowning. He
considers this canon from Peach Springs
to be the grandest and most wonderful
of the whole canon, the scenery surpass-
ing anything in America, even the
Grand caflon of the Arkansas and the
Black cai1on of the Gunnison.
He spoke in the highest terms of the
bravery and faithfulness Of the men who
accompanied him in his dangerous jour
ney. Stanton returns to The Needles in
two weeks to complete the trip from
there to the Gulf of California.

A BIG FORGERY.
Six Thousand Dollars Raised on a Spuri-
Gus Draft.

TACOMA, Wash, March 27.-This after
noon man presented at the Traders
Bank draft for $4,000 on w. H. Bradley
& Co., of Lockport, indorsed to H.
Garland. The man was identified as
Garland by w. H. White, business
man of this place, and the draft was
placed to his credit Afterwards he re-
turned and drew the money, saying he
needed it suddenly. White became un-
easy and told the bank he only knew
Garland slightly. The bank investigated
and found no such firm as was mentioned
in Lockport. The police were notified,
and Garland was stopped when about to
leave on the steamer. He had taken off the
false beard and spectacles he wore before
he was arrested. The draft was returned
to him, and he refunded the money and
went away on the boat.

Particulars of the Accident
Very Hard to Obtain.
Strange Behavior Of the ProprietOrs

Excitement Caused by the Rumor that Z
Thirteen-Story Building Had
Collapsed.
Associated Press Dispatches. !

CHICAGO, March pa disastrous ex-
plosion occurred this evening in the
Chicago Sugar Refinery Company's
plant, at TaylorSand Beach streets. One
man was fatally hurt and twenty others
severely burned. The explosion occurred
in the starch-drying room, and is sup
posed to have been caused by sponta-
neous combustion. A similar explosion
occurred year ago, resulting in the fatal
injury of one man. The building where
the explosion occurred today is a two
story brick, separated from the main
thirteen-story building. Twenty-seven
men were at work in the starch-room,
when without warning came a tremen-
dous report, followed by flashes of fire
and the rumbling of falling timbers.
Shattered portions of the building and
machinery were hurled in every direc-
ton, and the worl<men were buried
beneath the mass OF debris,
which took fire. Two hundred
men employed in the main
building were panic-stricken, and rushed
into the street as rapidly as possible.
The cries of their imprisoned fellow
laborers brought them to their senses,
and with the aid of eighteen fre-engine
crews the fire was subdued, and in a
short time the bruised and bleeding vic
Tins were being cared for in the COM
pany's laboratory.
All sorts of wild rumors flew about
the city, and for a time it was under
stood that the main building had been
wrecked and scores killed. Thousands
of people FASTENED to the scene, among
them the wives and children of the en-
ployees. These latter fought their way
through the mass of spectators, and
clamored for admission to the labora-
tory.
General Manager Behr and Fore
man Hoboldt were fear fully burned
about the face and hands. The
other men, while painfully burned
end bruised, are not Thought to be in
danger of death. The pecuniary loss by
the explosion is about $10,0 'ssss
LATER-Three laborers are known to
have been killed, and sixteen other men
injured. Three workmen are missing at
a late hour tonight
The dead laborers are: Franz CERT,
John Friedman and one unknown.
Louis Neltshorst and Frank Baptiste are
probably fatally injured. Albert Hess,
Frank Hollish and Michael Hauer are
missing.
Great difficulty is experienced in get
ting information in regard to the catas-
trophe. Reporters were refused access
to the list of the employees, false state
ments were somehow set afoat
and apparently everything done
to thwart the collection of facts.
The same policy was pursued at the ac-
cident year ago. The corpses found
tonight were come upon by the firemen
in the ruins, one by one, and at long in
tervals. They were terribly mutilated.
Up to late hour none of the officials of
the company had appeared at the scene,
or in any way seemingly taken an inter-
est in the calamity.

Hon. Thomas Fitch, of Nevada, the
Western "silver-tongued orator. and
champion of bimetalism, was telling
me yesterday that the Republican party
was certainly doomed to defeat unless it
headed the cry of the silver men. Mr..
Fitch is leading Republican in the
West, but he is evidently no Harrison
man.
"There is one thing the Republican
party must do before 1892" said he,
'and that is to repeal the demonetiz-
alton act of 1873, passed by British and
German gold. The administration is
able to act on the silver question now with
its majority in both Houses of Congress.
There can be no possible excuse now
for the party not to do what it has SO
long promised. We must have silver
| placed on par with gold. The mints
must be opened up to the metal, and we
must have money for our phenomenal
increase in population. The Republican
| party is now in condition to do the
proper thing. If England does not do as
she ought after we have placed silver on
an equal standard with gold. we will
make her suffer for it in financial way.
and we can do it, too.
Harrison tells the silver men," he
continued, ''that he has tried to do right
by US, but SO far his work, if such it can
be called, has amounted to absolutely a
cipher He must stir himself, and SO
must his party, and unless the silver
men get what they demand before 1892,
l can say for the West that every State
west of the Mississippi river will be lost
to Republ1canism. The new States are
going to take the wind out of New York's
sails in '92, and she will no longer be
the pivotal State. venture to say the
Republican party will be in the minority
in '92 unless they champion silver, and
thus save the country from money
famine. VI New York Star.
