woman on board were blown into the
water or stunned by the explosion.
Rube Simmons, the fireman, was dan

scalded. Both he and Frank Rose, the
pilot and captain, were taken to the
hospital, the latter suffering from Sc =
we're bruises about the head. None of
the others were seriously injured. The
forward part of the boat is almost COM

the flames were quickly eXtinguished.
The boat is worth about $4,000, unin-i

WASHINGTON. Oct. 1s.-The Demo-

prevent what looks like a grave split be-
tween the two wings.
There was laid before the committee a
request for a caucus, signed by twenty
three Democratic Senators-a majority
Of all the Democrats in the S~enate-and
under the rules Of the party, this is a
sufficient number to compel the Chair
man to call the caucus and bind the
Democrats to the outcome.
The silver men would have the advan-
tage in such a caucus.
The Committee also received word
from the repealers that they would
not attend such a caucus.
The only way the caucus can now be
prevented is by the silver men who
signed the call withdrawing their de-
mand. If they persist in the attitude
indicated and the repeal Democrats re-
frain from attending, the consequences
will be awaited with much uneasiness.
The Committee will hold another ses-
sion in the hope Of averting an open
clash.
