Terrific Explosion.

CHICAGO, Dec. ga terrific and
widespread vibration of the earth
frightened the people of Chicago aud
the residents of the country for fifty
miles around at o'clock this morning.
The origin was not at first known. A
report gained credence that the COM
motion was caused by great blast OF
dynamite on the drainage canal and
later this theory was verified by dis
patch stating that a magazine had
blown up at Lockport, 80 miles south
of this city. The reports indicates that
the whole northeastern part of the
State, extending as far west as Ham.
mond, Ind, experienced the shock, and
the attendant fright. There was much
alarm and commotion in the city hall,
at the big hotels and in the postoffice
and telegraph offices.
LocKPoRT, Dec. 27.-The powder
magazine at Smith and Eastman's sec
ton of the drainage canal near here,
containing 1000 pounds of dynamite,
blew up at clock this morning. No
one was injured. The Waterman had
left the magazine and supposedly an
ember from the stove fell upon the
floor. Thr shock was the severest ever
felt here and reports state that it was
felt at distance of 80 miles. Many OF
the buildings at the works were badly
shattered.

VISITED BY SIR JU LIAN.-Among
Secretary Olney's callers yesterday YVES
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am
bassador, accompanied by Mr.. Sander
SOD, the British consul general at New
York, brother of Sir T. 81. Sanderson,
who drew the "Sanderson linen in the
British Guiana boundary dispute, and
addressed the two notes to DR.. Pulido
and DR.. Urbanela, of Venezuela, which
are claimed by the Yenezuelans to
have emanated from Lord Salisbury.
1t is stated officially that the call was
of social nature, but frequently inn
portsnt business is transacted on dip
lomatic reception day. Outside of the
Vene zue an question there are num-
Der of minor subjects concerning postal
exchanges, ETC., which engage the at
tention of the State Department and
the British authorities.
A strong impression prevails, as re-
suit of the visit yesterday, that Secre-
tary Olney has officially notified the
British representative of the enactment
of the law for the creation of the Vene-
zuelan boundary commission. This, of
course, is such matter of public no
toriety that the ambassador has cogni-
zance of the facts, but au official nouii-
cation of the action of this country
would bring out the attitude of Great
Britain toward the commission.

of such bonds on the entire property owned
by the new company $2,350,000. Should
the mortgage be thus increased to take in the
other two divisions the rental TO be paid by
the Southern Railway will be proportionste y

THE BOND B1LL.-Republican mem
bers of the House who are opposed to
the bond bill, to be voted on this even
ing, met in caucus last night to mature
plans for opposition. Forty members,
representing twenty three States, were
present.
The caucns chose committee of
seven to confer with the Speaker and
the committee on rules to-day, and ask
for the extension of the debate on the
bond bill to two or three days. Pro-
posals were made that it should De at
tempted to secure party caucus, but
it was decided to be too late for such
step.
They will urge upon the committee
on rules that there is no exigency
demanding the immediate passage of
the bond bill, and that if one has ex-
listed, the revenue bill passed by the
House today should suffice to meet it.
They will also ask to have the rule
for debating the bond bill amended so
that there will be opportunity to offer
amendments to the bill.
The bond bill prepared by the ways
and means committee may be changed
owing to the opposition of many repub-
licsns who will not consent to the re-
tirement of greenbacks.

Mr.. Marsh interrupted to ask Mr
Dingley what would become of the
greenbacks redeemed by the gold
secured from the proposed bond sale.
Mr.. Dingley-Precisely what became
of them during the period from 1884 to
1898, when there was no run upon the
Treasury, owing to deficiency ofreve.
nue.. They will be used to take up and
psy off the interest bearing Indebtedness
of the government.
Mr.. Marsh-What is there in this
bill that forbids the Treasury Depart
ment from using them just as they have
used them for the last two and halt
years?
Mr.. Dlngley-If the second section of
the bill becomes law, the Treasury
can use only the proceeds of the certi-
fcates of Indebtedness to meet defcien-
cies in revenue. OF course, it is the
intention and expectation, that there
shall be no deficiency that is not tenn
porary in its nature.
