FOR IMPROVED PACKING.
Proposition From Liverpool TO the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange.


New Orleans Cotton Exchange.
New Orleans. Sept. 5.-vice President
and Acting President Felix Coutureir has
addressed the following to the Liverpool
Cotton Association in answer to its an
nouncement to the New Orleans Cotton
Exchange relative to the proposed penal
ty Of five pounds per bale on cotton not
put up as that institution desires, after
this year
Il am requested by the board Of direc-
tors TO acknowledge your communication
Of Aug. IA, 1885. They desire me to state
that while this exchange is in sympathy
with any proper move TO secure improve
ments in packing American cotton for
market they decline to recognize the right
Of the Liverpool association or any other
mercantile body to enforce by a penalty
such Improvement.
I'm their opinion the matter is one that
must be regulated by competition between
individuals II being quite certain that the
parties directly interested will soon solve
il on a basis Of dollars and cents.
This exchange, as the representative
Of a large percentage Of southern cot
ton growers. will oppose anything in the
nature Of a threat (fOr IN that light
the proposed penalty may be regarded,
d. CALCULATED rather 10 itldIu IMAM du-
vance the Improvement desired. 1t doubts

or that of any commercial body to carry
out any such arbitrary ruling and would
refuse, even il the measure were feas-
fole, to join in a matter which il con-
siiiers disrespectful alike 10 American
cotton planters and merchants.
rIt trusts therefore that in the interest
Of mutual good feeling. the Liverpool
exchange will rescind its threats of a
penalty of five pounds per bale against
American cotton planters who do not
pack their cotton in such manner as may
be suitable to it,"

Powder Mill Blown Up.

OAKLAND, May 21-At 1O:4O this
morning the nitro glycerine depart
ment of the California Powder Works
at Hercules, near st. Pinole, blew
up with a terrible explosion. -Four
white men were in the building at the
time and three of them, Glare John
son of San Pablo, w. d. Taylor of San
Pablo, and Charles Vanagas of Mar
tinez were killed outright. The other
man, D. a. Dean OF Pinola, was fatal
ly injured. ....
Adjoining the nitro glycerine de-
partment was tagging house in
which two hundred Chinese and two
or three white toremen at work. This
building was also destroyed, but it is
not known whether any one was kill
ed there or not though it is reported
that eighteen Cinnamon are missing.
Great confusion followed the explo-
sion and it was impossible to tell the
exact number killed.
A telegram received from Pinole at
noon states that five white men were
killed, which includes, besides those
mentioned above, J. Minugh of Oak
land.
Fire broke out just after the ex-
plosion but was soon extinguished.
The property loss is very light.
Only a small amount of nitro glycer-
inc was in the building at the time, as
small quantity is manufactured from
day to day, as it is required, other
wise the force OF the explosion would
have been greater than it was
The shock of the explosion was
plainly felt twenty or thirty miles
away. .....
The report from the Superinten.
dent of the works at 2o'clSck this af
ternoon officially confirms the report
that five white men, all of whose
names have been given before, are
dead. The superintendent also re-
ports that several Cinnamon were
killed though the exact number can
not be ascertained.
A special message to the Tribune
from members of the staff of that
paper, who went to the scene of the
accident, says that it is definitely
known that ten Cinnamon were kill
ed besides the white men already
mentioned.

the law will be tested by a suit to be
brought by the sheep firm through the
Assessor of Washoe county to recover
tho taxes paid under protest.-VIr,
