time, summoned sufficient courage to venture near the carnage ground. Over 100 people are said to have been preeipitated into the sea by the ex. ploslon, and there, beneath this hail of iron and wood, they met death with the crews of the unfortunate steamer ana tugboat which was about to tow her into the bay. Upon board the tug were many citizens who were helping In the rescue. All of them have disap- peared forever.
 A train from the province, which was just arriving at the railroad station when the Cabo Machichico steamer blew up, felt the force of the explosion, was wrecked and set fire to and the majority of its passengers were burned to death.
 Soon after the explosion whole blocks upon Mendez Numez street were blaz- ing and other portions of the city were In flames. No one dared or cared to make any attempt to stay the spread of the conflagration, and those who preserved enough presence of mind to do so. ran wildly about the town, cry ing in mortified accents the news of the disaster to those who had rushed from the houses in alarm, fancying the end of the world had come.
 The explosion of the dynamite lifted the sea up into the air like water spout, mingling enormous quantities of mud and stones with the wreckage and hurling them for great distance on every side.
 The whole country is indignant at the criminal conduct of the crew of the steamer as we'll as the criminality of those who shipped the contraband 4sO cases of dynamate, and the general opinion is the government must take immediate steps to punish the people who shipped the dynamite, as the death of the captain and crew of the dyna- mite steamer is but poor compensation to the hundreds of victims and the de- struction caused by their criminality.
 No correct estimate can yet be made of the loss of life, some officials claim ing that thousands were lost, while others hold the loss of life will not be over 800 and may be lower.

BITTER FIGHT IN CHICAGO.
Much Feeling Engendered in the Contes
 for Superior Judgeship.


 for Superior Judgeship.
 CHICAGO, Nov. 6.-Interest in the coming election in Chicago and Cook county is intense. The officials to be elected are county commissioners and judges of the superior and circuit courts. The principal fight is between the friends and enemies of Judge Jo- seph E. Gary, candidate for reelection to the superior bench. Judge Gary presided at the famous anarchist trials. Gov. Altgeld, who is gener- ally alleged to be a personal enemy of Judge Gary, has recently pardoned three of the men convicted at that trial, and has, moreover, bent every eff fort to secure the defeat of Gary The judge is supported by an overwhelming majority of the members of the bar and by every paper in Chicago with one exception. The Gary fight has been very bitter, and much feeling has been engendered There is no faction al fight among the candidates for any other position.

\ New Enamel for Metals.

The protection of metals from rust and other atmospheric influences has been the subject of many recent pat ents, and of these the newest is for an enamel for gas apparatus and decora- tive work of all kinds. For decorative effect the capabilities of this enamel are great. All colors, the most deli cate tints in any number, either dead or bright, and both gold and silver also either dull or polished, are ob- tainable in the same casting, and all alike are unchangeable, being affected neither by exposure to the air nor to any heat up to bright red. The film of enamel is so thin that the most mi croscopic details of the metal are un- changed Castings protected in this manner are not only capable of fine artistic treatment, but they are also claimed to be absolutely permanent, and proof against dirt and smoke, which disfgure other work so rapidly.

An unexpected item of news which has just transpired will delight the heart of every philatelist The king of kings, the successor of King Solomon, has written to the Universal Postal as- sociation at Bern, announcing his in tention to enter the postal union. We shall consequently have Abyssinian postage stamps, for the king of kings is none other than King Menelek, of Abyssinia. Many things will doubtless happen on the banks of the Nile before the first post office opens in Abyssinia. But we live in strange times, when saw ages are becoming civilized and civil ized nations are becoming savages.

Sir Joshua Reynolds used to nmhsc
himself in his last days In his house in
Leicester square with little tame
bird, which, like the fnvoritc spider of
of the prisoner in the Bastille, often
served to while away o lonely hour.
BUT this proved a lcctinS pleasure, for

open, the little favorite took flight,
