MYSTERIOUS EXPLOSION.
Two Children Fatally Hurt and Others In
 iuved In Brooklyn.

1ured In Brooklyn.
 BROOKLYN, Feb. a7.--A terrific explo- sion, which resulted in the death of one person and the injury of number of oth- CTS, wrecked several houses and shattered all the windows within a radius of several blocks occurred in the unoccupied factory building. a two story frame structure, at 27, 29 and 3l Johnson avenue, formerly used as dye works and owned by Mir. Levy of Nassau street, New York. Ono boy was killed. He was John Fluhr, 6 years old, of 3S Montrose avenue; skull fractured, died in St Catherine's hospital.
 The injured are Peter WenZ, years old, of 3S MontroSe avenue, skull fractur- ed, leg broken, will probably die; John Schoen, II years old. of S5 Johnson ave nue, badly cut about the face and body {; Annie Weiss, 30 years old. of S5 Johnson avenue, severe scalp wounds. Several oth- CTS who were more or less injured did not wait for surgical assistance.
 The, residence of Jacob Schocn, a two story structure at S5 Johnson avenue, was the most badly damaged in t5e neighbor- hood, the side adjoining the factory being blown in. Several store fronts on the block were blown in by the concussion, and the whole street presented the appear ance of having been the center of a terrific CSCloue- ne cause OI tue eApIoSlOn lS a mystery which the police have not yet been able to fathom.
 The building had been vacant since April last and was in the hands of an agent for sale 4 lot of the machinery it contained was removed some time since. and whether any chemicals useS in the manufacture of dyes had been left in the building could not he learned There were wild stories spread about that dynamite has been stored on the premises. but the police do not give any credence to them.

THE HAYWARD TRIAL.
The Examination of Hurry Finished and
 the Defense Continued.

The Examination of Hurry Finished and
 the Defense Continued.
 MINNEAroLIs. Feb, 2I.-In the Hay ward trial the holdup story was gone into. and Mir. Hall used innuendo to show that 1t was Harry who had been the prime mover in that affair. In fact. he asked him if ho had not told Adry once that he had planned it. end that a song was to be the signal. but that the man who did it was such a bunglcr that the women had time to hide their money and valuables. Hayward denied it point blank. He admit ted that he did not want tho matter re- ported to tho police, but that was on Adry's account
 He had kept the watch out of sight for months so that Adry's wife might not see it and thus wonder how he got it after it had been stolen from him. This closed the examination.
 NJ. D. Wilson, the alleged missing wit ness. was called again by the defense, and MT Erwin proceeded to try to impeach bis own witness. Mir. Hall objected, but MT. Erwin had authorities, and the court allowed tho question.
 Then came the states triumph. Harold c. Stevens was put on the stand. He swore that on the night of the murder he, in company with a friend named Browne, were coming from the Lake of the Isles to Lake Calhoun on a croSSrOad, and they saw a buggy. with the top up, coming along at a brisk gait from the lake toward town. He saw in it a man who had a light mustache and beard. Hero was the man seen by Grindeil again. When ques- tioned by tho state, the witness stated that he saw a young couple on Lake street, and he and his companion walked on the side of the street where there was no sidewalk. He knew the young man whom Miss Browne stated was with her at that time, but stated that he did not recognize him, although he passed very close to the couple.

ROW AT BLUEFIELDS.
American Vessel Reported Disabled by e
 British warship.

British warship.
 COLON, Feb. 27.-A conflict at Blue fields is reported here The news is ex- tremely vague, but 1t is said that Brit ish war vessel has disabled an American vessel.
 WASHINGTON, Fob. 27.-Adviccs from Bluehelds arc awaited with great interest by tho state and navy departments. Tho cable dispatch from Colon was shown to Secretary Herbert and to the officials of the department of state. It was denied in both departments that any official word had come from the scene of tho trouble, or that any information was in tho possession of the departments that could explain what had led to the difficulty or indicate what vessel had been disabled.
 Secretary Herbert was certain that if any vessel had been fired upon it could not be an American man-of-war because none of oD1cruisers is in the vicinity of Blue fields. It might possibly be an American merchantman. The nearest point at which there is an American vessel is Colon, and that Is 800 miles from the scene No word has been received from the Atlanta which is at that point, regarding the reported conflict

 relieves the state of thls burden, I can give no exact figures. Yet we have ITO parishes in the state and one dollar a day for each parish appears to me to be an ex- ceedingly low figure, Yet this would give 62 ,050; total. $692. .050.
 This appears to me to be a very good tax paid by the Catholics of the state. If the purpose of this bill is to cripple the spirit that produces such fruit, it would seem as though it might be good states manslip to bury it so deep that it could never more see the light of day.
 Viewing the que,tion with all the care at my command I am persuaded that the present law exeu pting church property serves the best interests of the state, and has the entire approval ot the vast majority of the citizens ot Connecticut. believe that church property should be exempted from taxation.
 "Flrst, because such an exemption would be a tribute of respect that would be a sal- utary example for all
 Second, Because it is mans offering to God in thank sglying for blessings recelved This | acknowledgement Is mans first duty to | God, and it is evidently subyersive of all moral law to place a restriction upon 1t which contemplates no higher purpose than the swelling of the taxes by few paltry dollars. %E -

THE FISH COMMISSION.

It's Expected Transfer to the AEri-
- cultural Department..
The transfer of the fish commission, now
an independent organization, to the Agri-
cultural Department by Congress at the
coming session, is considered probable.
There has been for some time a sentiment
against Independent bureaus and commits
siors. For many years there was an unsuc-
otssful attempt to place the geological sur
vey under the Interior Department. About
three years ago the weather bureau was
made portion of the Agricultural Depart
ment, and now there is to be an attempt to
place the fish commission within the pur-
view of the same department. 1t is believed
that such move would increase the prac-
tical efficiency Of the work, and result in
its more economical administration.
Opposition to such a transfer will, 1t Is
thought. come from the commission itself,
because transfer would take away from
1t both its independence and its license In
the matter of expenditures. The prevailing
belief here is that William L. May of Ne
braska will be appointed to succeed the late
fish commissioner, Marshall Mcdonald. Mr..
May is man Of means, who has for six
teen years been fish commissioner of Ne
braska without compensat ton. Secretary
Merton has indorsed him very warmly and
it is said that the press of Nebraska, ir-
respective of party, Is unanimous in Its ap-
rroval of his candidacy. The only formid-
able candidate against Mr. May is said to
he John F. Crisp, state fish commissioner
of Missouri
