 CINCINNATI, O., July 15.-A terrible ex- plosion occurred this afternoon at King's powder mills on the Little Miami railroad, twenty nine miles east of this city.

Nine other persons, supposed to be were killed. The King Powder com- pany and the Peters cartridge works have factories on both sides of the river along the railroad. The explosion occurred on the south side and the destruction was enor- nous. A number of cottages occupied by the workmen in the powder factory and situated close to the track were shattered OA AAASoSA~ girls at work in the cartridge factory were crippled by the explosion. The railway sta- tion, or the freight house belonging to the Little Miami railroad, together with all the adjacent buildings were set on fire and totally consumed. The track and ties of the railroad were fairly torn out of the ground and great hole ploughed in the ground. The Peters Cartridge factory was burned, leaving nothing but mass of blaekened, smouldering ruins. As soon as the news reached this city, about 5 o'clock, relief train was despatched to the scene of the disaster with Superintendent Petsrs and 6 large party of surgeons on board.
 The work of searching for the missing and caring for the wounded is now progressing.
 The Peters factory was large building and supplied with great amount of costly machinery both for the manufacture of shells and the loading of shotgun ammunition, and . force of employees was at work at the time the explosion occurred.
 News from Kings mills at 9 p. m. Is that ten dead bodies have been taken from the ruins and thirty are known to be wounded.
 Definite news is more likely to swell the list of casualties than to diminish 1t.

 Introduced In She Senate-Tfe House
 Clerical Force Bill.
 WAsHINeToN, July 15.-Mr Cullom offered resolution (which went over till to.morrow) directing the secretary of the treasury to re- port to the senate by what authority mer- chandise in bond and goods of domestic origin are permitted to be forwarded be- tween the Atlantic and Pacific ports of the United States over the Canada Pacific rail- road, such merchandise on arrival at Vans couver being there transshipped, ,and whether or not such transportation and transship- ment on foreign territory is consistent with the safety of the revenue. Also other facts in that connection.
 MT. Sherman, from the finance committee, reported substitute for bill introduced by him on the 18th of May to reduce the amount of United States bonds to be re- 4uired of national banks and to restore to the channels of trade the excessive accumu. lations of lawful money in the treasury. Placed on the calendar, with . notice by Mr. sherman that he would ask the senate to consider it very soon.
 The substitute provides that the compul- sory requirement of deposit of United States bonds with the treasurer of the United States by national banks shall be limited in amount to $1,000 of bonds for each bank, provided that the voluntary withdrawal of bonds for the retire. ment of national bank notes shall not exceed three millions in any month, and also provided that the act shall not apply to the deposits of public moneys.
