MANY WINDOWS SHATTERED.
The Nnphtha Explosion Badly
Frightened Uptown Residents.

eANAS
Frightened Uptown Residents.
Glass-put-in men are in great demand
to-day at houses in the vicinity Of Forty
second street and the East River. The
explosion Of %naphtha in the tanks Of the
Equitable Gas Company last night shat
tered windows for blocks aroWd and
drove the occupants into a great state of
excitement.
The fire was In a sort OF natural m
phitheatre, the parapets overlooking the
river at that point forming the balcony,
from which thousands watched the mag
nificent spectacle.
1t was nearly II o'clock when q tre-
mendous explosion was heard, followed
by a sheet of flame which, shooting sky
ward. Illuminated the river front for q
great distance.
On First avenue just back of the gas
works, is a row Of tenement-houses. The
conclusion shattered glass in the win
dows. and In a few minutes the street
was filled with shouting people who. in
the first shock of fright, imagined the
buildings were falling down, Two car
fright. and. kicking over the traces,
dashed madly along the street. adding
to the general confusion.
III IldTIlHBtpI = StdDleS, Close 10 the
gas-works, some horses stampeded into
the street and started uptown. They were
all r~ecaptured eventually.
When the true cause of the explosion
became known. thousands Of erstwhile
terrorized people assembled to their roofs
or to places In the streets. where they
could watch the fire.
1t seems that a tank of naphtha, To-
Gated on one OF the upper floors of the
Cal Company's pumping tower, had ex-
ploded, from some unknown cause. The
Is said to have been only partly filled at
the time. The force Of the explosion
blew off the top OF the tank, and carried
away a portion of the roof.
There are several other tanks in the
immediate vicinity OF the pumping
tower, and for a time 1t was feared the
intense heat, II not the spread of the
flames, would cause other explosions.
The fremen directed their attention to
saving the other tanks, and allowed the
fire in the tower to burn itself out.
Two alarms were sent In, and In ad-
dltion to the large force of engines the
fire-boats assisted in keeping the flames
confined to the one spot.
Reserves from the East Thirty-hfth
and Fifty-tirst street police stations
were called out TO keep the crowd In
line, and the tunnel In Forty-second
street, between First and Second ave-
nues. was blocked with cars, which had
brought hundreds to the scene.
The loss is not more than $40. 900, but
had the flames spread to the adjoining
slaughter houses, II would have been a
dlthcult matter to check them.

To the Editor:
johnnie Bull' should have added to his criti-
cisms OF American politics that political perver-
sions In this country are largely due to Ameri-
can magnanimity in giving to the naturalized
citizen the political prerosatives Of native-born
citizens and tolerating the interference Of alien
residents. Naturalized Americans. as a rule,
are ciannish, and use their SURFACES only to Sc
cure the patronage OF politicians who, having
no merits. obtain power by converting their con-
stituents into ashcart-drivers, street-sweepers,
policemen, &C. 1t is a fact that our refuse is
carried away and our streets swept by many who
developed these dignined political procIivities in
some one Of the classic provinces Of guileless
England. True Americans glory In this indi-
viduality. and devote their political energies to
the OF the great American plan to
establish absolute human equality and per,ectinr
4 government in which royalty consists OF capacI-
ty to obtain bread and pleasure by honest toll.

ence 10 WORKOUT notions Of political
economy moved forward in tho work OF
destruction, declaring that he was doing
his best Tor tho people OF the entire
country, even II he was sacrificed
the interests Of his own state. The
wealth OF West Virginia lies mainly in
her coal, lumber. wool, iron ore and salt
interests. The prosperity OF tho state
depends upon this development. Her
people were just beginning 10 find u
marie: at home and abroad for their
products, and the dawn OF SUCCESS and
prosperity was ut hand. Mr.. Wilson,
With full knowledge OF these facts, voted
and leDoTed as few men could to make
coal, lumber. wool, sals and iron ore
irre, and divide our homo market Tor
these materials with foreigners without
any return whaMyer. ii he had been
the representative from Canada, Cuba,
South America or Australia his conduct
could be considered logical, but rs Il
member Of Congress from West Nir-
gInia, bound and pledged TO care for her
Interests, his conduct is not only incon.
s%lstent, but beyond finding out. Why
ehould he prefer theao countries to our
state and people, and why prefer New
England 10 his " state?
In the same bill in which no wrote
down free Lumber, free coal, free iron
orc, free salt and free wool, he wrote
down protection for noarly every na1-
utncIuted product OF New England.
Why tree trade Tor West Virginia and
protection for New England? II, as a
principle, Tree trade is right and best,
let 1t apply 10 al the states alike. Coal,
