Washington dispatch of the Associated

lines laid down In the Chicago platform ar,
having the effect of bringing about better
teeiins among Democratic senators, say. A

That the passage Of the pending law will be fol-
lowed by vigorous action on the part OF the
naturalization In the direction Of assembling
another International monetary conference
that VII meet under different conditions from
those That have surrounded all previous one,
There will not longer be thu hope the United
States vii Try 10 deal with the silver question

political parties that when the nations Of the

KILLED BY A BOMB.
Non-Union seamen's Lod gIng House
Mt San Francisco Wrecked.

Vne oil the most hideous crimes, resulting
from the long-standing feud between union
anu non-union sailors, was perpetrated at
san Francisco on the cath. Shortly after
midnight the southern part OF the city was
shaken by ter.lfs explosion. A dynamite
oouio mad been fired in front of a Water
Front boarding house oiled with non-union
sailors The front of the building was blown
10 atoms Six OF the inmates were horribly
Inangled Two of these were instantly killed
and the others may die By whom the bomb
was fired is not definitely known. The own
ers of the building openly charge the deadly
deed up TO some members of the Seamen's
Union. OF these john Tyrell has been ar
rested
The house was kept by John Curtins. 1t
was Curtius' custom to secure berths for his
patrons on ships employing non union men.
In this way he Incurred the enmlty OF the
seamen's Union. Less than week ago his
place was entered by a crowd OF union men
led by John Tyrcll. Curtins was threatened,
and when the men left they told him his
house had oaiy a shor; time to exist Sun
day night all the inmates retired as usual
soon after midnight an explosion occurred,
shaking the city for blocks. The entire front
of the building was torn away carrying the
front OF the adjacent structure with 1t.
Men were thrown from their beds across the
street
The sidewalk where the explosion occurred
was ripped into atoms. A black hole with
smoldcring beams ABOUT 1t showed where the
bomb blew up. -Four grooming victims lay In
the street near by and beside them were two
eorpses, stripped Of nearly every bit Of cloth
Ing, laying In pool Of blood. An ambu-
lance vas soon upon the scene and the vic
Tins we're rescued from the debris and taken
to the hospital.

IN THE HOLY CROSS DISTRICT


The miners In the Holy Cross district are
now feeling much encouraged, says the Den
rer Mining Record as the Gold Extraction
company have decided to complete their mill
at this place, thereby aiTording an ample
market for all the ores of the Gold Park
Holy Cross district. Mines that have large
bodies of gold ore running from S25 to S15
per ton can soon begin to ship ore, and a
large output is absolutely assured. With a
market for ores this camp is sure to become
one OF the largest in the state.
There are about twenty more mines in the
camp that will begin at once to ship as soon
as they begin to receive ore. Among the
most promising properties are Grand Trunk,
Hunk-a-Dora, Pelican, Pelican Extension.
Mollie, Stockholm, Cleveland, Gold Prize,
Mayhower, Three Nations, Buckers, Com
stock, the Hogerty properties and many
Others. The weather is all that could be de-
sired, aud much will be accomplished towards
opening new properties before the snow hies.

The body OF a sailor, who is supposed to
