Reports Of officers Read to the Fifteenth An
nual National Convention.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE fifteenth an
nual convention of the Millers' National AS
sociation met this afternoon, $50 members
of the organization from all parts of the
country being present. President James
made the annual address, in which he men-
toned the past year had been a prosperous
one and the treasury was in good condition.
The Secretary's report showed the aggre-
gate capacity of all the mills run by men,
bers of the association on May 1st. Based
on a conservative estimate there were 1885,
600 barrels for each twenty-four hours. The
report of the committee on the West India
Touring trade, appointed at the last conven-
ton, reported on the progress of reciprocity
negotiations. In his report on matters Of
legislation the Secretary said the question of
a uniform domestic bill Of lading will be
brought before the convention. The uni
form export bill OF lading has not yet been
put in use, but the Secretary has examined the
form and finds it an Improvement in many re-
spects on the old. 1t is a receipt for goods and
contains an agreement to carry them with
reasonable dispatch to the seaport and
proffer them to the steamship lines there,
under about the same conditions contained
in the domestic bill of lading. This SIM
pliefies matters for us, says the Secretary,
land locates the responsibility for any OBJ
noxious provisions that the bill my contain.
If they be in the transportation section we
can strive to correct them with American
railways. and if in other portions. and the
steamship lines refuse all concessions to
US, we have some evidence TO substantiate
our assertions made to our foreign Gus
toners that the steamship companies are re-
spon sble for the hardshipS suffered"

Lying In a Dg-DOCk.

LONDON, May 11.-A terrific explosion of
gas occurred to-day in the hold If the Brit
ish steamer Tangarville. which is under
going repairs in the dry-do k at Newport
The steamer was badly damaged. The
Tangaryille is tank steamer and engaged
in carrying OF! from American ports. The
force of the explosion was SO great that the
fOredeck was torn from its fastenings and
blown off. As the steamer was out of
water there was no pressure on the hull to
cOunterbalance the tremendous outward
strain exerted by the explosion, ana it is re-
ported that some of the plates on the bottom
of the Tangarville were blown out The
woodwork In the forward portion of the
steamer caught fire, but the flames were
soon extinguished.
Eight persons were killed and twenty-five
others injured. Over 100 men and boys were
employed in and around the vessel when the

and iron from the steamer were blown with
terrific force through the air, and some were

shops were struck by pieces of flying debris,

Possibilities Of the Coming
Campaign Discussed.
Lively Times Anticipated at the Approach
Ing Farmers Alliance Convention.
Views Of Prominent Member Of Ghs
Party on the Organization Of
the Mex! House.
Epecial to THE MORNING cALh

WASHING TON. May 11.-There viii, prob
ably, be lively contest at the Farmers
Alliance Convention to be held at Cincfn-
natl on the 18th of this month. The contest
will be over the question of forming third
party. The Alliance leaders who are best
known to the public for their activity and
prom inenee in the movement are in favor
of forming a third party. but they do not
want the matter forced upon the public too
soon, and their influence will be used to
prevent the Cincinnati Convention from
taking any action which can be construed as
inaugurating third party movement be-
fore the national party is ready for 1t. Rep
resentatiye-eleet Simpson says the third
party must be grown, not made; that they
are now planting, and they do not want to
harvest too soon. He does not think that
there will be third party started at the
Cincinnati Convention, but thinks that the
National Co INVENTION, which meets at Wash
ington next February, will adopt platform
and inaugurate great third party move
ment.
Speaking of the organization of the next
House, he supposed the Democrats might
elect Crisp Speaker, as he was strong,
we'll balanced, brainy and conservative man.
AS to the Farmers Alliance members, they
would, he said, act together. Their num-
Der was not definitely known, but there
would be thirty-five or forty of them. He
thought they would demand some conces-
sions from the candidate they supported.
and if they could not get these concessions
they would bolt the Democratic caucus. He
thought it probably would be easier to get
concessions from Springer than from either
Mills or Crisp. In response to question
about the Sub Treasury plan, he said that
he was opposed to class legislation of any
sort, but that this plan he believed to be
necessary under the present conditions Ia
adjust things.
Thus far there had been much class legis-
latiOn and it had all been in favor of other
classes TO the detriment of the farmers. OF
course, what he would prefer to see would
be the abolition of all class legislation, but
the farmers bad as much right to legislation
expressly for their benefit as had any other
class of citizens. There must be something
done, he said, TO place the farmers on an
equal footing with others in this matter.
He thought that the discussion of the Sub
Treasury plan was a good thing and lt
might be necessary to adopt it under the
present condition of things. In arguing
against it he said the monOpoliSts had eX-
posed some weaknesses of their position,
for the argument against class legislation
proposed on one hand was just as strong
against that IN operation on the other.

Little Information Obtainable Regarding
The Pursuit Of the Itata.

WASHINGTON. May 1f.-Despite all inti-
nations to the contrary on the part of the
Navy Department authorities, there are
four United States vessels in the Pacific to-

to the San Francisco and Baltimore in the
South Pacific is reached. The department
has instructed Captain Remey to inspect the
harbors and waterways along the coast
where. in his judgment, the fugitive. vessel
is likely to stop.
1t is thought that the original plan of the
Itata was to 90 direct to Chilean waters.
The intention OF this Government, IL is
thought, has reached the Chilean rebels, but
it still remains question to what extent the
latter can resist The actions of the in
surgents are now more closely observed
than heretofore and any intention on their
part of resisting the seizure of the Itata Is
likely to be known in Washington and pre-
