Seventy-E'ive Killed.

BUTTE, Mont. Jan. I5.-A fire
occurred tonight in the Butte
Hardware Company's warehouse
in which giant powder was stored.
The fire department was at work
on the fire when the explosion took
place. While efforts were being
made to remove the dead and
wounded, second and third explos-
ions occurred. The entire fire de-
partment was wiped out, including
the chief and all the horses. Three
policemen were among the killed,
who will number at least seventy
five. Plate glass was broken ali
over the city, and the damage to
property is enormous. 1t is i'm
possible to get details at present.
All the ambulances are rushing to
and from the scene of the explosion.
The relatives of the killed are fran
tic and the city is in CONSERVATION
The powder was contained in the
warehouse in violation of the law.
The whole heavens were lighted
up, and the city shook as if an
earthquake was in progress. I'm
after the first explosion
the entire hospital corps and police
force were summoned, and many of
the attaches of these departments
are among those killed and injured
in the subsequent explosions. Fiji
teen dead bodies have already been
gathered together, and there are
a great many more in
parts of the yard that no one dares
to approach. Every house for blocks
around is turned into a hospital.
The people in the vicinity were
thrown down, and the streets for
half a block around looked like a
battlefield. Debris was thrown
high in the air, coming down half a
mile away. Many people on the
in the center of the city were
thus injured.

A strange ceremony is carried on at q
certain temple lying in u belt of swamp
and jungle ut the foot of the Himalayas.
The author of Indian Memories, " who
visited the place at shutdown, says that she
found the priests in perfect silence, engage
cd in cooking large cakes before the tenn
pie. Then they sat down, still silent and
stolid, as if ignorant Of any unaccustomed
presence"
As the last rays of sunlight died off the
temple, u man Of extreme age, clad in
white robes and closely shavcn, issued from
the shrine, 1t was the chief priest. Nov
ing slowly forward, he took up a bronze
hammer and began to strike the bell.
Very sweet and deep was the note. The
whole glade rang and vibratcd with It.
AT the sound, all the priests rose and
moved solemnly and in dead silence round
the quadrangle bearing with them their
huge cakes, which they broke up as they
walked, and deposited them on the stones
and tree trunks and the steps of the tenn.
pie. a rustlng sound made me turn. A
jackal, big and plump, brushed past me.
with an upward curl of his lips and a
look of surprise and resentment in his red
bronze, cleaning eyes
simultaneously, from every lane and
passage in the darkening thicllct, came
other jackals, singly and in pairs, and fill.
ed the space before the temple. Soon the
feast was spread The high priest ceased
to toll the bell, and at n shout and wave
Of the hand every jackal trottcd, without
rivalry and without snarling or confusion,
to what was evidently his accustomed place
in the feast, seized the cake in his Jaws,
turned and disappeared through the thick
ct. In vain did fee the priests to learn
the meaning of this strange bounty. 1t
had ALWAYS been So was their answer"

terest of ramie culture, has been

tanning at home many millions
now sent abroad, and we urge

thence of considering favorably the
proposition to make an appropri-
alton to advance the development
of this interest as one means of de-
veloping American agricultural
interests, and requests our members
of the House and Senate to assist
in the passage of such bill as may
be referred by the committee.

offer from Hamilton Disston of all

mental purposes or otherwise in the
cultivation Of ramie in Florida.
Within few days he has had let
tiers of inquiry from Southern Cali
fornia and other parts of the coun-
try requesting information on the
subject, He is satisfied that inter
est in the cultivation of ramie is
extending throughout the country.
