TERRIBLE EXPLOSION.
Twelve Killed and Twenty One Inju
by Powder Mill Explosion.

Twelve Killed and Twenty-Five Injured
by Powder Mill Explosion.
CINCINNATI, July 16.-A terrible ex-
plosion occurred late yesterday after
noon at Kings powder mills, on the
Little Miami railroad, twenty-nine
miles east of this city. Twelve persons
were killed and twenty-one seriously
injured. Two empty freight cars were
being rolled on to side-track where
car containing 500 kegs of gunpowder
was standing. As the cars struck there
was a terrific explosion, and Immediate
ly afterward another car containing 500
kegs of gunpowder exploded, making
1900 kegs altogether. William Franey,
a brakeman in the service of the
Little Miami, was standing on
one of the empty cars when the ex-
plosion occurred. His body must have
been blown to atoms, for no trace of it
has been found
The King Powder Company and the
Peters Cartridge Works have works on
both sides of the river along the rail-
road. The explosion occurred on the
south side. and the destruction was
enormous. There are a number of cot
tages occupied by workmen in the pow
der factory, and situated close to the
track. These were shattered by
the explosion and their in
mates injured. Several girls at
work in the cartridge factory
were crippled by the explosion.
The railway station and the freight
house belonging to the Little Miami
railroad, together with all the adjacent
buildings. were set on fire and totally
consumed. The havoc wrought by the
explosion of these sixteen tons of pow
der is dreadful. The track and ties Of
the railroad are 1airly torn out of the
ground. The Peters cartridge factory
vas burned to the ground

A Sure Passport to the Good Graces Of
Some Imminent Men.
Would you like to see a grim million

does not make the slightest difference
whether he wears the repelent look of
Vanderbilt. the stony reserve of Hag-
gin, the senatorial taciturnity of
Hearst, the inherent reserve of Bel
mont or the social veneer of Lorillard.
Horse is enough. A stranger of wide
distinction or man of imposing title
would receive a formal nod from these
men, while they'll turn boys in the
presence of racing people in whom
they recognize the kindred love for a
horse. l have seen August Belmont

with red-faced insistence with trainer

of bran that should be given to a colt,

or club, wore an air of such icy reserve
that to approach him meant a Fremont

half refined in his horse and, losing all
his look of worry and anxiety. cried:
''Hullo, Bill. When'd y'u come t,

the stranger.
Nearly every body was abashed at
any man addressing the greatest citizen
of New York in that fashion. but the
Commodore seemed to think it was all
right
II will stop minute" he said.
The two men shook hands. but before
the Commodore could speak the old
backwoods horseman said with a gilt

Instructive statistics Regarding the Con-

have doubled. trebled and quadrupled.
not in population alone, but in wealth,

How India is Governed.

A telegram from China says that de-
cree from one of the viceroys imposing a
tax upon opium has been abandoned be-
cause of the protests of Great Britain.
The British Government holds monop-
oily of the opium crop in India. Under
this opium is sold to middlemen at a profit
of six hundred per cent. 1t is then taken
to China, but the Chinese are permitted to
impose only a nominal tax. England holds
it as a British interest in India, and insists
that it shall be so received in China. The
revenue from this monopoly varies from
forty-fve to fifty-four millions of dollars a
year, and without it England could not
govern India.
OF course, the opium habit is running
China. But India must be governed. And
while England names her own tax upon
opium as a monopoly, China is bound to
buy it, and impose only the revenue which
England approves.

The President Favors the secretary's
Reciprocity Plan.


CHICAGO August 6th:-A specisl to the Tribune
from Cape May says: The seaside conference is
at an end, and the President and Secretary
Blaine leave for their homes. As a result OF the
conference the President will send message to
the Senate, or If not a State paper verbal
message. re commencing the Senate TO adopt
the Aldrich amencme.tto to the Mckinley bill,
which vests discretionary power in the Presi-
dent to suspend the operations of customs du-
ties whenever he shall deem it wise TO do so. or
when other countries shall reciprocate. 1t can
be stated authoritatively that the work of the
conference resulted in victory for Blaine. The
President fought against the scheme of his Sec
retary on many grounds, and last of all de-
clared that reciprocity would result in an injury
to commerce.
Blaine then called in Wanamaker to give his
views as merchant. The latter declared reci-
procity would tend TO develop trade and would
widen the field for American merchants and
enable them TO place their goods in foreign
countries where they are not used at present.
This was surprise to the President.
Next Major Robert Adams, ex-Minister to
Brazil. was called. He had been sent to Brazil
by Blaine to learn of The advantages that would
accrue to this country from reciprocity. Major
Adams, in clear, forcible manner. gave his
views of the matter, which tended 10 strengthen
Blaine's case.
Then, as a final argument and with the hope
of flooring his Secretary, the President intro
duced General 4. Burd Grubb, of New Jersey,
an iron manufacturer, to demonstrate how the
business of the country would be injured by
reciprocity. Instead of proving witness for
the President, General Grub favored the
scheme of Blaine. With all this array of evil
deuce against him. the President is said to have
decided a change must be made i'll the Nc
Kinley bill. 1t is said to have been agreed that
Blaine will not interfere with the passage of the
force bill

CHICAGO, August 6th.-To night grand ball

tion of Brotherhood carpenters and joiners A
report is IN circulation this evening which
strongly asserts the probability of renewal OF
the carpenters strike in Chicago on September
lst. The strike would directly affect s. 900 men,
trades whose operations are more or less de-
pendent on the carpenters. 1t is alleged tha,
backsliding on the part of the bosses in the
matter of advancing wages is the cause of the
dissatisfaction. The Chicago Assemblies will
doubtless be- largely guided by the advice of the

you refrain from issuing, under any circum-
stances certificates of such a character to al
