HAVING fairly landed the Democratic
party on fnee-trade platform, its leaders
are now engaged at the task Of working
Il up 70 the point OF adopting a free
coinage plank. Some time since. Mr.
Cleveland declared against free silver
coinage, which brought down on his
head the wrath Of his party friends in
the West and South. Since that episode
Grover has seen a great light at once he
commenced hedging, and the other day
told the State Treasurer of Missouri that
II is 'ong time till 1894, before which
time free coinage bin could not reach
him-in the event OF his being elected
Rresident-and that no attempt would
be made to cross the bridge until we
come TO it.' Beyond all doubt, Grover
IS hedging On this vital question, and

crStic National platform are likely TO find

The Mckinley act sustained.

The Mckinley act was sustained in the
United States Circuit Court in New York
"Wednesday in a suit brought by L. Strauss
& Son, who imported = lot OF Bohemian
glass and coutended that only IS per cent
duty should be collected under the Tariff
act Of 1885 while Collector Ehrhardt had as
sessed 60 per cent. under the Mckinley law i.
The real question Was whether the new
act repealed the old one The Mckinley
measure repeals al acts ami parts of acts in
consistent with it, but the importers argued
that the provision Of the other law relating
to Bohemian glass was not repealed, as it
was not inconsistent with the correspond
ing section OF the new law. The cause was
ably argued, and at the conclusion Of the
argument Judge Lacombe affirmed the posi-
ton Of the Governments counsel.
Had the importers won the case an enor-
nous litigation would have ensued.

Disastrous Explosion at Rome.

ROME April 24-The explosion Of 2G5
tons Of gunpowder yesterday in the masa-
zine at Pozze Pantaleo, which caused serious
damage and loss of life, created great alarm
at the Vatican.
All the windows Of the Pope's library
were broken, and a number of precious
relics were destroyed IN addition, many
valuable panes Of colored glass in the prin-
cipal windows of S.; Peters Basilica were
smashed to pieces. The handsome stained
glass window over the chair of ST. Peter was
also broken.
In ST. Pauls Church all the stained glass
windows are damaged In fact, the damage
done at this church was 50 great that the
building hes been closed to the public while
the debris is being cleared away and the
work Of temporary repair inaqgurated-
Much Of the destruction wrought by the
explosion is irTeparable, as the valuable
works Of art which have been destroyed
cannot be replaced. Many OF the stained
glass windows which have been shattered
are the works of celebrated artists who
Aourished hundreds of years ago, and though
in some cases the windows cay be replaced,
in many other cases their historical and
artistic value is destroyed forever.
Many most valuable relics in the monas-
teries have also been destroyed.
1t was learned to-day that the Pope had
Just concluded the celebration Of a low mass
and was engaged in praying when the ex-
plosion shook the Vatican building. So
severe was the shock that His Holiness tot
tered and would have fallen had not one Of
the servants sprung forward and caught the
Fepersble prelate in bis arms. His Holiness
has now recovered from the shock he ex-
periencea through the explosion.
The investigation made by the military
authorities into the origin OF the explosion
shows that it vas caused by the accidental
explosion Of some shrapnel shell capsules
A few Of the people who were injured at
the time of the explosion. and who were
taken TO the hospitals, have since died from
the effect OF the injuries they received. King

Kings sympathetic action in conveying the

yesterday, and in visiting the wounded to-
day, is highly appreciated by the populace
Of the city. Among those who were hurt
By the accident was VI. Billot, the French
Ambassador who was slightly injured by
