SAN FRANCISCO TERR,FIEn.


Saturday morning last at half-past
nine the city of San Francisco Was shaken
from end to end by five terrible explo.
sions in rapid succession, SCATTERING win
dows and cracking walls. People were
panic. stricken for q time The shocks
were felt at Sacramento, eighty miles
| distant, and windows were cracked at
Napa and other points along the bay
twenty miles distant. The explosions
were near West Berkeley, where is loca-
ted the works of the Giant Powder com
pany. Over 2OO,O pounds of giant
powder were stored in the magazine. The
upsetting of bottle of fluid in the office
set FIRE to the building. This was right
next to the uitro-glyeerine building,
which soon caught fire and then the ex.
plosions followed Only five men were
killed, three white and two Chinese.
The Report says the last report was
loud and the ground trembled as it has
seldom done before even with the heav-
lest Of earthquakes. There was a general
rattle Of falling glass. and in some of the
hotels and private residences the screams
of women added to the confusion. The
people ran madly from doorways and
yards into the middle of the street 10
mortal dread Of being crushed beneath
falling buildings. Large buildings like
the Mills, the Croker, the Stock Elk.
change, the Phelan. Flood and other
blocks swayed and seemed in imminent
danger Of topping over upon the excited
people who sought the open thorough
fares for safety. One of the most exciting
scenes was in the vicinity Of the Stock
Exchange on Pine street. Heavy glass
windows in that vicinity were thrown to
the ground, and the bulls and bears for.
sock the pit and rushed into the street.
The terror of tho prisoners confined in
the city prison was desperate. When
the last and heaviest explosion came ov-
cry gas jet in the prison went out, leav.
ing the dismal place in darkness. From
without came sounds of crashing glass
and cries Of excited people as they ran
for place of safety. The prisoners
raved, cursed and prayed in one breath
They begged piteously to be released and
then swore terribly at the officials, who
were deaf to their entreaties. They
dashed themselves against the bars of the
cells and fought like demons for place
near the door.
Altogether, it was an eventful morning
for the just and unjust in the wicked
city of " Flisco."

THURSDAY, JULY IA, 1892.
TEE PEOPLE TO THE FRO Mt.

Not since the year 1860 have the
American people been SO thoroughly
aroused on national affairs as at the
IT'D Ere. Since that period the
J.. -. he two great parties have been
sLa tivCutlined, both claiming the good
s.ld ware Of the country to be the sole
oyieet In view but while protesting
great anxiety for the needs OF the people,
Of late vears both the Republican and
Democsatic parties have been led astray
and the paramount object OF each has
been to play into the hands OF wealthy
cliques. and, in the language Of one OF
the cliques, let the public be damned"
The public can endure great deal, but
there is limit, and the limit appears TO
have been reached. Many years have
elapsed since the crime against the
people Of demonetizing silver was COM
mitted, and nothing tangible has been
done by either Of the two great parties
to atone for the outrage. Seeing that
no relief could be expected from the
parties as now controlled, the PEOPLE
have arisen in arms and are determined
that no longer shall the American repub-
lilo be domineered by selfish few to
the detriment and ruin of the many.
The vast asssmblage recently convened
at Omaha is an evidence of this deep
feeling Of wrong, and it behooves the
leading minds in both the Republican
and Democratic parties to take warning.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, July 4.-The Presi-
dent goes on in the even tenor Of his
way, just as if the passage of the Stewart
free coinage bill by the Senate had not
thrown Congress into what might almost
be called a panic. If he is worried even
a little bit over the situation he does not
show it. The situation in the House is
at present chaotic, owing to the absence
Of 50 many members and the uncertainty
of getting them here. The telegraph
wires have been kept hot since Saturday
by both friends and opponents of free
coinage, and good many members have
probably had their Fourth Of July plans
sadly disarranged by an imperative sum
| mons to come to Washington at once.
The President sent another message to
| Congress- ON the Canadian waterway
question, in which he tells of the failure
of the Canadian Government to befog the
question and insists that prompt retalia-
ton is necessary. Senator Davis joint
resolution authorizing the President to
retaliate has been favorably reported to
the Senate and will probably be taken up
and passed this week.
The free coinage bill will be taken from
the Speakers table tomorrow and be re.
ferred to the committee on coinage, which
will hold meeting on Wednesday, aud
will. it is expected. Immediately report
the bill favorably. Then the music viii

ST. JOHNS. N. F., DIES rROYED.

Last Saturday afternoon fire broke
out in st. Johns, N. F.. which destroyed
the greater part of the city and entailed
loss of SS,OOO,000. The wind was

was helpless, and the fire did the work
of destruction without stay. As many

the Masonic Temple, 0raage Hall, the
Roman Catholic Cathedral and Bishops
Palace. st. Patrick's Hall, the English
Cathedral, Atheneum, the Scotch church,

A TERRIBLE affair occurred at the Car.

A TERRIBLE affair occurred at the Car
negie Iron Works, near Pittsburg, Pa,
on the morning Of the 9th inst resulting
in the killing of twenty men and the
wounding Of sixty or seventy. There
was lockout of the employees, caused
by their refusal to accept reduced scale
Of prices. The company then hired a
number Of Pinkerton so-called detectives
to guard the works, who were on their
way thither when they were met by =
number Of workmen and a pitched
battle epsued. The fight only ceased
when the force Of Pinkertons, brought
to suppress the strike. Internationally
surrendered TO tho workmen. The mat.
ter will be investigated by the state aud
national authorities. The Governor has
ordered the militia to the place. and the
strikers will welcome their presence, but
they don't want any Pinksrton hirelings.

RAILROADS IN NEVADA.

In discussing the decadence Of Nevada
as mining State, the Engineering and
Mining Journal attributes the decline in
part to the selfish policy of the Central
Pacific Railroad company. The Denver
Republican says that everybody knows
that in Colorado the Denver Il Rio
Grande railroad, by building branches to
different mining camps. greatly promoted
the development of Colorado's mineral
resources. If the Central Pacific had
pursued a like policy in Nevada there
would have been but little, il any, dc.
cline in the output of the State, for it il
we'll. known that Nevada is rich 10 min
erals and that the development of its
mines has been greatly interfered with
by high freight rates. Fortunately there
is prospect that this evil will soon be
done away with. The Union Pacific will
construct line to Phoebe, and it is high
" probable that an independent line will
be constructed from Salt Lake through
the con trail part Of Nevada to San Fran
cisco. When these lines are built, freight
rates will be reduced and many good
mineral claims which are now lying idle
will be worked. The population OF the
State will then increase, and along with
the growth of the mining population
means will be found for irrigsting tho
agricultural valleys"
In reference to the Phoebe extension,
the Salt Lake Tribune says: Howard
Gould, son of Jay Gould, went quietly
through this city the other day on the
pay car to Milford, to look around there
and report to his father, who is up in the
Idaho country making the fish look ex-
tremely weary"
The Belmont Courier is informed
by Sheriff and Assessor McGregor
that there are several parties of railroad
surveyors in eastern Nevada at this time
representing different parties that con-
template building an east and west line
across the State.
This is the Nevada and California rail
way Of Nevada. The Salt Lake Tribune
of the 10th. says that this road and the
Utah, Nevada and California road Of
Utah, have filed articles OF consolidation
and propose to extend their line to the
coast. The route they will follow is in.
dicated by the fact that Salt Lake City,
Utah, Overton, Lincoln County, Nevada
and Barstow, California, are mentioned
as the principal places Of business. This
will take slse road through the Muddy
Valley in this county, thence on south.
west in the vicinity of A. G. Campbelle
lead mines at Ruth.
The Carson News says that Francis
Tiernan of Salt Lake, George L. Hicks
of New York, and Frank Harris of Lon
don, have filed articles of incorporation
for new railroad which they assert will
be built Immediately from Salt Lake t.
Los Angeles, traversing ITO miles OF Ne
vada territory in Nye and Lincoln coun
ties.
From our State exchanges we lear
that surveying parties are seen in variou
parts Of Nevada, and all indication
point to a railroad building boom in tn
near future. Hail the day
