town for Opium.

Chinatown was kept in a turmoil Of ex-
citement all day yesterday by the presence
in its dirty thoroughfares and the constant
surveillance of its stores by the Custom
house, Internal Revenue and special Gov
ernment inspectors. From early morning
until late at night constant patrol was es-
tablished, the object being to prevent the
transfer of opium and evidence. There
were no seizures made or attempted ard no
arrests. Those taking partIn following up
the =" Thomas-stamp forgeries yesterday
were Revenue Collector Quinn, Revenue
Lambert and Simon and Special Gov srn-
ment Detectives y Dyes and Pattison.
ALI Cow, the Chineman who was thought
to be the actual forger of the "Thninas
stamp" was the special object of the days
hunt. He was not found, though ano her
was; but the latter's case was too pr-cs-
rious to justify arrest on the strength of The

DEADLY DYNAMITE.
Bold Small Boys Cause a Terrific
Explosion.

A terrific explosion of dynamite occurred
at 12:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon on
Holly Park Hill and, though no fatalities
or even accidents to persons resulted, win
dOw-panes in radius of three-quarters of q
mile were shattered, especially those in the
Bernal Heights School-house.
Warren 81 Malley, contractors, who have
their place OF business at 234 Montgomery
street, have been working quarry three
blocks west Of Courtand avenue, Oh top Of
Holly Park Hill. Their tools and stores,
including dynamite, giant powder, fuse,
ETC., have been slowed on Sundays in tool
house. The dynamite, which was made by
the JudSon Chemical Works at Berkeley,
has been slowed away in a chest by itself.
1t cannot be accurately ascertained how
large a quantity was on hand yesterday, but
the amount, judging from the effects of the
explosion, could not have been small. Con-
tractor Malley says " a small chest of dyna-
mite only" and as the chest is scattered to
the winds his word remains SuncontrOyerted.
Dynamite is deadly enough, but in this
case it had to be united with the still more
deadly eiement-the bad small boy. Several
OF them were seen playing in the quarry
early In the day, and they started fire
about IL o'clock. Whether this blaze lighted
some fuse or was otherwise communicated
to the dynamite Is not known. Contractor
Malley says dynamite Will OteXplOde when
exposed to fire, that IL takes a conclusion to
set the stuff off. He is disposed to think
some of the boys struck the chest with
hammer. Anyhow, whether by fuse, con-
cuSson. fire or a blow, the result is the
same. The stuff exploded, rending the
chest to atoms, knocking the handles out OF
the tools and twisting the steel picks and
shovels into every fantastic shape. Remark
able as 1t may seem to persons acquainted
with the downward tendency of the force of
dynamite when exploded the ground bears
no evidence OF the fearful shock.
About three blocks away two men were
thrown to the ground, aud Sergeant Barn
stead, who lives about the same distance
away. had pick sent through one Of the
walls OF his house. Notwithstanding the
fact that thousands of window-panes were
shattered half mile distant, that the two
men blocks OFF were prostrated and that the
pick was sent so far with such telling force.
the bold, bad boys who were instrumental
In bringing about the catastrophe escaped
without scratch, even within a hundred
feet OF the deadly chest. Their escapes were
remarkable in every particular.

Some one on the steamer called out to the

stopped and saw Finnie foundering in
the water. He leaped into a small
boat, which was towing behind, and
pulled for him. He caught him and
got him to hold on to the boat and then set
out to look for the others. The boy was
seen clinging to rope, which was drag

PARIS, Aug 16.-The Paris Eclair, which
Is not given to sensationalism, prints the
following, as confirmed by unquestoned
authority: On the night following the de-
parture of the imperial yacht Hohenzollern
from England, the crew was beaten to quar-
tiers and were surprised to find the
quarterback brilliantly Illuminated. An
altar had been erected on the
deck bearing the old and new
testaments. and the Kaiser stood by, wear
ing white chauble, with crozier in hand
and black and white mitre on his head.
He read the most warlike passages from the
testaments. and invited the crew to respond.
He then preached long sermon ON the
duty Of sovereigns to the people, the whole
service lasting from II o'clock at night to 2
O'clock in the morning. The crew was then
piped below. Ats o'clock in the morning the
Kaiser appeared on the bridge in the uni

LONDON, Aug. 16-What will the new
Irish HOme-rule Bill of the Liberals be like {?
1t seems TO pc pretty we'll settled from the
drift of current conversation in po-
litical clubs that it would be against
the sentiment of the rank and file of the
Liberal party if they were to abandon home
rule at the next general election. The sub
committee that was very active and repre-
sentative of the Liberal body of the Home
Rule Union, has just issued the draft OF
bill for home rule which may serve as
possible basis for the new departure cre-
ated by Gladstone's resolve to materially
alter his bill of 1888 ard retain the Irish
representatives at Westminster. Though
this important document does not xsoim to be
authorized by the Executive Committee of
the Liberal party, offered in the light of
events of the last five years and in the full
knowledge OF the Parnell catastrophe, it
Is the voice of the rank and file
sreaking to the leaders. 1t is therefore
interesting to see that the authors look at
Irish point Of view. The new Home Rule
bill proposes to make Irishmen supreme
IN our country, and to give them
In addition the turning vote in the
Imperial Parliament. Parnell himself
coud hardly demand more than this. In
order to leave the Imperial Parliament as
far as possible untouched is In the line
Of least resistance In proposing a
Home Rule bill. No provision expressly
affecting its powers or Constitution is con-
tanned in the bill, and the only restriction
that may be indirectly imposed on the
powers of Parliament BY the provisions of
this bill is that the courts might
hold that by Section 2 the Imperial
Parliament has, as long as this act remains
a law, diyested itself of the power of legis-
lating directly on the internal affairs of Ire
land. But the Imperial Parliament could

A Socialistic Congress.

BRUSSELS, Aug. l6.-An international
Socialist Workmen's Congress opened here
to-day. The Belgian delegates delivered ad-
dresses heartily welcoming all visiting dele
gates to Brussels and urged union of all
socialist sects.
To-day's doings were purely formal, con-
sistins Of the verifying of delegates, ap-
pointing committees, etc. In accordance
with the declared intentions to exclude
Anarchists, the Belgian delegates objected
to three Anarchist delegates. and the Con-
gress almost unanimously ratified the OBJ
lection. The houses of the city are deco
rated with banners and colors of the various
societies, red being the prevailing color.
The subjects for discussion are: Legislative
protection for labor; laws concerning COM
bnations. strikes and boycotting; position
and duty of workmen regarding military
duties; attitude of the workmen's organiza-
tim toward the Jewish question; universal
suffrage; emancipation OF labor; working
day of eight hours, and other social prob
lens,
