Special to the 1nalanapolls journal.


MARION. Ind. Oct. PA mysterious
explosion occurred here about s o'clock
this evening by which the Larrimer photo
graph gallery was wrecked and three per-
sons seriously injured.
Benjamin Larrimer. one Of the proprie-
tors. escaped with severe burns about the
face and hands. He was able to extricate
himself unassisted.
Miss Grace Speakman, who was en-
ployed as a retoucher. was found uncon-
scious. She has injuries about the head,
her breast is crushed and the chances are
against her recovery. She was soon found
and removed. Her home is in New Castle.
Alfred Greenman was in the middle room
and was buried in the wreck. He is injured
about the head. breast and spine, but will
recover. He was reached after half an
hours digging. He was conscious when
discovered, and for some time directed the
efforts of the workers.
There were three rooms in the place, the
building inclosing the front and middle
rooms which completely collapsed. There
are various theories as to the cause of the
explosion. but it was doubtless due to
escaping gas. the odor of which had previ-
ously been noticed. The gas had collected
under the floor, beneath which there was
no ventilation. The building was of brick,
no two of which were left together. Win
dows were broken a square away and all
the adjacent buildings were badly shaken.
torn to splinters. The loss will be about
5000.

ROME, Oct. PAS the date for the
opening OF the Chamber of Deputies APP
proaches IL becomes very evident that the
situation of the Ministry is one of ex-
IRENE difficulty. The financial problem is
still unsoIved and the deficit is calculated
at 60.000.00O lire. In semi-oficial circles it
il asserted that the government will pro-
pose TO meet this deficit with 20.O00.O00 of
fresh economies and with 100000 lire Of
additional taxes. but as the army will not
be touched the only hope of effecting seri-
administrative organic reform. Most of the
and there has been in consequence a loud
chorus OF discomfort at the civil service.
The postponed use OF the official ak, how
ever. has called forth many threats of po-
litical revenge, and the Ministry Is keenly
alive to the difficulty confronting Ii in the
pa.h OF reform. The Ministers say that in
order TO make the relief 20 the budget
quickly appreciable IL is necessary TO sacri-
flee some interests, and they will have to do
this in spite of the threats OF revenge. That
portion OF the press which is friendly to
premier Crispi insists that nothing but a
comprehensive scheme of decentralization
will save the financial situation. On the
other hand, the newspapers which are OPP
posed to the Premier hail the difficulties
which ne is enc0untering as an ~undOubted
sign OF the early fall OF the Ministry. and
a consequent blow to the Premier, IL not his
complete political extinction and entire loss
OF prestige.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-The peace nego-
tiations between China and Japan are like
ly to take an unexpected turn, according TO
diplomates here who are Informed on the
progress Of affairs. The critical illness of
the Car has. for the time being, diverted
Russia from the attention she was going
TO give TO the Eastern war, and has made
it improbable that the Car should take the
initiative toward bringing the contestants
together. The Intervention of England or
France has been viewed with dlstrust. ow-
ing to the territorial interests those coun-
tries have in Asia. Under these circum-
stances diplomatic officials here say that
Germany will undoubtedly take the initia-
tive in any peace settlement. Whether such
steps have already been taken is not known
here. but the officials best acquainted with
the facts say there Is taf te coup and tho OF ;n one
nation Is made that the negotiations VIII
not be deferred. The same authorities say
that when the peace proposition Is SUB.

independence and the payment to Japan
of an indemnity covering the expenses OF
