TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.

Awful Explosion in the High School
Building at Lexington, ILL.,. During EN-
periments in Chemistry-Twcnty Per-
sons Injured.
BLOOMINGTON, ILL.,, Jan. 29.-Twcnty
persons were injured at two o'clock yes
terday afternoon in the high school at
Lexington, in this county, by terrific
explosion which was heard all over the
city. While Prof. Jess, surrounded
by pupils and teachers, was conducting
an experiment in chemistry in which
oxygen was being generated in a retort
composed wholly or in part of il on with
iron pipe connections, the retort sud-
denly flew to pieces and nearly thirty
persons were hurled in all dire 'tions
and twenty of them more or less
mangled.
To add to the horror of the scene
can of gasoline through which a piece
of hot iron had been projected, took fire
and for a few moments it looked as
though the building and some of tho
wounded victims might be consumed.
The burning gasoline spread rapidly
over the floor and seats, but the flames
were eXtinguished after q hard fight, in
which several of the studep:s were
slightly scorched.
Those most dangerously injured by
the explosion are as follows:
Prof. jess, terribly burned about
the head, face, arms, hands and eyes;
will probably lose his sight and may
die.
BERTHE Farsel, c youth of twenty;
compound fracture oi the leg and artery
cut; likely to die.
Cora Kemper, aged sixteen; compound
fracture,of leg.
Hattie Barnard, aged sixteen; struck
in breast with piece of iron pipe; dan
gerously hurt.
Russell Stevenson, hurt on leg and
terribly bruised
VIII Dawson, badly cut and bruised.
VIII Hotzen, badly mangled.
Asa LangstafT, seriously bruised and
cut.
A dozen Others were bruised, cut and
scorched, but those named above are
the severest sufferers. 1t is believed
that the explosion was caused by i'm.
pure chemicals.

Hawaii Drifting.

Mr.. EDITOR: Are we or are we not
to have a Constitutional Conven-
ton? is the question of the day; or
to put it in plain English, are we to
have another revolution? Are we
TO have the present state of things
upset and the country return to its
former rotten state when the power
of the Government was in one or
two hands?
Those who are deslrous of a
change should well consider the
position they are placing them
selves and their country in. Do
they imagine for a moment that
those who assisted and gave their
support to the present existing
Constitution will sit calmly down
and allow their rights and liberties
to be taken from them without a
protest? Do these misguided in
dividuaIs ever ask themselves why
we have American and English
men-of-war in port at all times? 1t
would be we'll for them to do so
and give this question their con-
sideration before they pursue the
dangerous path they are now
treading. dangerous indeed to their
country's welfare and its independ-
ence. If these gentlemen think
they can play off the interests of
Great Britain against those of the
United States and vice versa, they
are making a mistake and they
will find it out too late. Any
sensible person well knows that in
case we are unable to control our
selves, and maintain a government
that is just and equitable and that
respects the rights of foreigners
and citizens alike, we will have
Uncle Sam and John Bull putting
their heads together and arranging
matters and there wont be any d.
vided councils either.
should like to know what
property or other interests these
people who are DESTROYS of this
change represent. As far as |
know, about all these people have
left is their flag, and they are
going the right way about it if
they want to lose it also.
1t would be well to remind these
people that the present constitu-
ton was promulgated by the King
who was advised to do so by the
representatives of the American
and English nations.

the movement under discussion Is
pressed may be learned from one
of the addresses at the meeting on
Palace Square, in which the speak
er called upon his countrymen to
attend in great numbers when the
measure should be under discussion,
and FORCE the Legislature to pass
it. 1t may be that the speaker on
that occasion and others who SYM
pathised with his views have vet
TO learn that however convincing
the argument of force may be TO
the Hawaiian mind. il does not
appeal at all to the Anglo, Saxon.
The promoters of the scheme have
also to learn, if we may Judge from
the wording of their petition, that
aboriginal Hawaiians are not the
Hawaiian nation, but only one of
Its component parts.
