Five Tons of Gun Cotton In n Russian
Gun Factory Exploded.
ST. PETERSBURG, April 6.-This city
was thrown into state of the most
intense excitement during the night by
most terrific explosion. So much has
been heard lately of the fiendish work
OF anarchists that for time every
one believed that they had attempted
to destroy some of the public Streets
1t was soon learned, however, that the
explosion was due to an accident at
the state factory for the manu-
facture of smokeless powder, where, in
some unknown manner, five tons of gun
cotton had exploded. Nine workmen
were in the building when the explosion
took place, and every one of them was
blown to pieces.

WASHINGTON, April At is asserted
by an employe on the floor of the house
that the free silver men have obtained
signatures to their petition for the
cloture rule to warrant Speaker Crisp in
bringing in that desired rule; but on
account of party policy they are holding
back that important document until
after the election next week in Rhode
Island, believing that the passage
of free silver bill at this time would
prove disastrous to Democratic pros
poets in the approaching election.

SAN ANTONIO, Tex. April 4.-The dis
covery has been made that Cara, the

and that the dispatches were wholly SO,
as far as they related to him personally.
The facts as now cleaned are that CARA

glers on the border, but left them a
year ago, and that he has never been in
command of revolutionary army OF

The Sioux Falls Gazette is struggling

Boies boom. Meanwhile the Cleve-

Democratic party with its usual facility
for doing the wrong thing at the right

determined to nominate the man who is
better and therefore weaker than his

Hill, who represents all that is forceful
in Democracy, the ability to get Office

gardless, but Hill's star has already set

CROP REPORTS NOT so GOOD.
If They Were Better Though, Trade
Would Be Worse.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade
says; Crop reports promise results not equal
to last years, which would be disastrous,
but beyond expectations. With the decrease
of only per cent the wheat yield would be
far beyond the quantity consumed and ex-
ported in any year except the last, and
nearly equal to last years consumption and
exports. The price dropped below 81 cents,
but has since been stronger. Western re-
ceipts are large-l, 500, 900 bushels in three
days. and exports III 900 in the same time.
Corn acreage shows decrease of A per cent.
Oats have declined cents, while hog pro-
ducts are stronger, pork 81 cents per barrel
higher and coffee and oil unchanged The
cotton report shows a condition only per
cent below last year, and on any estimate of
acreage the yield, with the surplus still in
sight, will more than meet all demands for
the year.
At Baltimore exports of cattle are large

BRIDGES BLOWN UP.
The Rule of the Military In idaho Doesn't
Stop the Disorder.

WALLACE, IDAHO, July 16.-Two railroad
bridges near Mullan were blown up last
night, and with them several telegraph
poles. The strikers also cut down number
of poles, thus shutting off communication
by that route for time. The Gem and
Granite mines are all right. The rumor
that the Granite mine had been blown up
probably started from the report of the ex-
plosion when the bridges were destroyed.
The military Investment of the sowns is
complete. No one is allowed to go out with
out pass 1t Is probable that many union
miners will be arrested to morrow.
g. II. Smith, who was sent to this city by
the Executive Committee of the Wallace
Miners Union to prevent the importation
into that section of non-union men, said
that while the origin of the present trouble
could be indirectly traced to demand for
increase of wages, which was unsuccessful
last year, the direct cause of trouble was the
81 per month levied by the company, which
the miners claimed was not productive of as
sistance to them when needed. The unions
built a hospital ut Wallace and adopted a
rule that the 81 per month, instead OF being
paid TO the company, should be paid to the
hospital. The Bunker Hill and Sullivan
Company refused to recognize the justice OF
this rule and the strike resulted in favor of
the miners. Smith claims the reduction in
wages then followed.

The Homestead, Pa, High Constable
Arrested by the Military and Marched
to Headquarters at Point of Bayonet.
Homestead people are waiting and watch
ing for something that did not come. Ru-
mors and reports from hundred sources
that non-union men were en- route
to the Carnegie mill caused flutter of ex-
citement, but nothing more. for the town is
practically under martial law, and demon
strations of any kind were prevented by the
sight of the shining bayonets and the gilt
ter of gold lace. But the steel workers are
uneasy. Though the filling Of the mill
with non union men seems to be inevitable.
the lOcked-out men are not prepared to bow
to it, nor will they until their last hope has
been shattered.
The first arrest of a civilian by the pro-
vost guard in Homestead was made Thurs
day night, Amos Stewart, the high consta-
bio of the borough, came in conflict with the
soldiers and was ordered home. Being an
officer of the borough he resented the action
of the guard, After some warm words he
was ordered to be arrested and at bayonet
point was ordered to the Provost Marshal's
headquarters, where he was detained for AN
investigation. This evidently means that
the borough is under martial law.
