BAKERSFIELD, Feb. 19.-As the south
bound passenger train on the Southern
Pacific Railroad was nearing Poso last
night, and while about three miles north
of that station, the engineer saw by the
light of the headlight a queer-looking
object laying near the right-hand rail.
lie was SO close to the obstruction that it
would have been impossible to stop his
train in time to avoid striking it, even
had 1t been of sufficient size to look dan
gerous. AS it was very insignificant in
appearance, however, he paid little atten-
ton. When the driving-wheels of the
locomotive passed over the object there
was terrific explosion, and the cab was
enveloped in a sheet of flame. The insig-
niticant object proved to be heavy
charge of dangerous explosive. Fortu-
nately the engine was heavy one, and
held to the rails, while the momentum of
the train carried it quickly over the spot
When the train had slowed down Suffi-
GENTLY TO permit the engineer to get
down on the steps he was astounded to
find the brake beams on the engine and
express car trucks on fire. The train
was stopped and the flames eXtinguished
a cry of train robbers ran like wild fire
through the crowded coach, and when the
train stopped the passengers had all seen
the flames from the explosion, and for q
time scene OF intense excitement en-
sued.
At Poso officers were notified and at
once left for the scene of the explosion.
No news has been heard from the posse
yet.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The Senate
has passed Dolph's bill to continue in
force for ten years the existing anti Chi
nese law. On account of quarrels be-
tween Geary and Stump of the Foreign
Affairs and Immigration Committee of
the House, it is thought by some that
Dolph's bill will be the only one to pass
this session.
The bill has wider scope than indi-
Gated by its title, for in addition to re-
enacting the present exclusion laws,
which are about to lapse, it contains
section intended to meet the difficulty the
treasury officials encountered in return
ing Chinese to China through judicial de-
clslons adverse TO their right to return
them further than to the country from
which they entered the United States.
Under this construction OF the law the
treasury has returned a number of Chi
nese to Canada instead of to China. and
they were soon struggled again across
the Ilne, which 1t was impossible to guard
at all times and places.
1t provides that Chinese persons CON
vlcted OF unlawfully being in the United
states shall be removed to China nm
less he can make it appear to the Judge
that he is citizen of some other country,
ana That even in such case he shall be re-
moved TO China If such other country de-
mandS tax as consideration of the re-
moYal OF such person to that country. 1t
puts the burden of proof upon the China
man to establish his lawful right to re-
main in the United States, ana provides
for the imprisonment Of Chinese persons
before removal who, having been once
convicted and removed from the United
States, unlawfully returns.

DEADwooD IS. d., Feb. 19.-At last the
Blaine divorce case has come to trial, and
all the testimony is in. This morning
Judge Palmer, plaintiffs attorney, read
the complaint and defendants answer,
and began reading the dispositions. The
dispositions of DR.. Fuller and DR.. Wyn-
koop, after confirming that of General
Mcmahon as to the amity in which the
young couple apparently passed the first
few months Of their married life, related
chiefly the condition of plaintiffs health
after the unhappiness began. DIR. Fuller,
who was called in during the temporary
absence of the family physician, DR..
WynkoOp, who was in Europe, testified
that when he first treated Mrs. Blaine
professionally she was suffering from
mental anxiety.
This afternoon Mrs. Blaine was on the
stand and recited the story of her marri-
age, which was FASTENED because her huS-
band did not want her 10 GO on the stage.
She spoke of the happy first year. and
detailed the visit of the young people to
Maine, where her husband was kept
away by his mother. She told how she
was tolled in her attempts to became re-
conciled; gave details of her return to
New York, and her subsequent sickness
and suffering in that city. She came to
South Dakota Tor a home, and wanted
especially to secure the custody of her

The Governor of Ceara Deposed by In
surgents-Bloody Battle.
LONDON, Feb. ia dispatch has been
received from Rio Janeiro, giving details
OF another outbreak in one of the pro-
vinces of Brazil. This manifestation was
made on the 10th in Ceara. The insur-
gents consisted of students and force of
soldiers, the latter of whom broke out in
open rebellion to the authorities. The
combined forces of the students and SOL
0iers attacked the residence of General
Clarinda, Governor of Ceara, with a can
non handled with much effect. The po-
lice and large number of loyal citizens
offered their services to the Governor,
who barricaded his residence, and they
defended the place against the desperate
& assaults of the enemy. After a holly
contested battle, lasting for thirteen
hours, the Governor found he would be
unable longer to hold out against the enc
lnies, and was forced to surrender to the
insurgents.
The serious nature of the fighting may
be judged when 1t is known that fourteen
persons were killed during the assault,
and a large number of both forces
wounded. The insurgents deposed the
Governor, and assumed control of affairs
IN the province.

THE GUN FOUNDRY.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-"Since began

with the advantages of Benicia for a gun
factory. 1t is the best spot on the Pacific
Coast for such an establishment. 1t is
not likely that we can get an appropria-
ton through the House this year, but if
we can only get law authorizing the
war department to go ahead with the
plans and contracts we shall save two or
three years time. AT the best, even with
such factory as that at Watervliet, it

lenses can be made approximately COM

ton to fertilization on the ground of
economy. One gun ashore is estimated
to be equal in efficiency to five afioar, and
100000 will mount as many guns on
land as S3,500,0O0 on ships. The Atlantic
Coast has all it can do to take care of it

LINE LOCATED.
Route Selected for the Coast Division

of the Southern Pacific.
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19.-Chief Engi-
neer Hood, of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, has definitely located the line of
the Coast Division from Santa Marguerite
to Elwood. All rights of way have been
granted to the railroad company, and
work has been commenced on the faces
of the tunnels. 1t was at first intended
to run the road inland, but it strikes out
from San Luis Obispo for the coast and
follows the coast line for most Of the dis
lance to Elwood and Santa Barbara The
distance from Santa Marguerite by the
fixed survey is greater than the line at
first proposed, being 100 miles. while the
other Is less than 100, but the coast line
Will be cheaper to- construct, as it does
not run through the mountains. There
Will be heavier and rougher work on that
part OF the line between Santa marguerite
and San Luis Obispo than there was on
the California and Oregon road in the
Siskiyous.
Mr.. Hood says there will be seven tun-
nelS in the first sixteen miles, one of them
being $500 feet in length. +. s. Douty,
OF the Pacific Improvement Company,
said that the contracts had not yet been
let for the construction of these tunnels.
out that the preliminary work was being
done, and as soon as the bids were all in
and an acceptable one chosen, there
would be immediate commencement of
the work.
II is surprise to many that the line
has not been located so as to include and
absorb the Pacific Coast Railway. 1t is
thought that one object in choosing the
coast line is TO make the road ''scenic
line" for passengers. 1t will not run
through a single town Of any size for the
whole distance of 100 miles. 1t will reach
the extreme edge of Point Conception,
and will run within eight miles of Lom-
poe. From Point Conception to Elwood
1t will run across many arroyos that cash
the coast line, and frequent bridging Will
be necessary.

Mr.. Deacon was to-day examined by

does not agree in all its details with the

Deacon asked the Magistrate to admit

10 do so at once, but promised to consider
the application.
Mrs. Deacon was then examined and
she told a story which confirmed that of
her husband.
Deacon further stated to the magistrate
that his wife had most eXtravagant tastes,
and lately she spent fabulous sums on
her toilet. This extravaganza led to
quarrels. His conjugal life, he said had
been unhappy for a long time. He was
very sorry for what he had done, but the
thing had gone on too long, and could

CABLE To JAPAN.
Canadians Anxious for One to be Laid
from Vancouver.


MONTREAL, Feb. 19.-Regarding the
report that the British Government will
contribute toward the cost of submarine
cable from Vancouver to Japan, C. r.
Hosmer, President of the Canadian Pa
cific Telegraph Company, said the
Canadian Pacific Railway Company is
very DESTROYS Of seeing the cable laid be-
tween the places mentioned. as the exist
ing cable rates of 81 q and 81 % cents per
word greatly restrict business and are
practically prohibitory. They are salts
fed cheaper and quicker means of COM
munication between Canada and the
United States and China and japan
would greatly stimulate the business be-
tween these countries, which even now
is showing rapid strides. Hosmer con-
tlnued: 1--WE have examined the matter
very closely to see what would be the
most available route, and it will be some
time yet before a sufficiently compre-
henslye scheme can be shaped to warrant
the company in endeavoring to carry it
out. The cost of such cable would be be-
tween 100000 and $1,000, 600, and the
route most probably would be from Van
couYer via the Aleutian Islands,"
