American Cloth,

Possibly all Americans will eyentu-
ally wear American cloth. A large
manufacturing firm in New York
says: "T1Ie tariff changes have acted
as an incentive to domestic manufac.
turers, and the marked improvement
in their goods has caused moro cloth
Of home manufacture TO DO used than
formerly. We are not using any
more foreign cloth than we have been
accustomed to use, because Amori.
cans are not only making better
woolens than they made last year, but
are also making some kinds that they
did not produce before. Foreigners
cannot land woolens here cheaply
enough to seriously compete with the
domestic goods low made"

OAKLAND, May 2-At 1910 thu
morning tho nitro g~lyoerine depart
ment of the California Powder Works
at Harcnlee. near st. Pinole, blew
upwith . terrible explosion. Four
white men were in the building stths
time and three Of them. Glare John
son of San Pablo, w. D. Taylor ofSan
Pablo. and Charles vanagas Of Mar
.inez we're killed outright. The other
man, ID. A. Dean OF Pinols, was fatal
Iy injured.
Adjoining the nitro glyoenne de-
partment was u 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 + 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 er-
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
a small quantity lie manufacturedfrom
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'clock this at
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 we're
killed though the exact number a
not be ascertained.
A special message to the Tribune
from members OF the staff Of that
paper, WHO went to the Gene of the
accident, says that it is definitely
known that ten Cinnamon were kill
ed besides the white already
mentioned.

CLEVELAND TO JOIN THE Re
PUBLICASs.

The advocates OF free coinage have
repeatedly stated that the only diff
ference between Cleveland and his
cuckoos ind Sherman, Reed & Co,
was about eleven per cent ON tariff
schedule. Sherman, Reed and other
Republics leaders, endorse Cleye-
lands financial policy and voted to
sustain his veto on the Bland seig-
norage bill. They preferred bond Is
lee to coming silver and with Cleve-
land cuckoos formed a third party in
Congress whenever it was deemed
necessary to maintain the single gold
standard. Now, according.to the New
York Recorder, Cleveland and his
cuckoos contemplate uniting with the
Republicans and making common
cause against the free coinage men
in the next Presidential campaign.
The nrugram,~ according to the Re-
corder, Is to endeavor to defeat the
Silver Democrats III the National
Convention. Failing in this the
President and very likely his whole
cabinet will go into the Republican
camp. Secretary Carlisle says il the
Democratic Convention shoulddeclare
for free silver and nominate a free
silver candidate, he cannot see any
course open to hun except to vote the
Republican ticket.
Mr.. Cleveland begins to realize
what others have foreseen for some
time, that there will be n new align.
ment OF parties. He would like to
be again nominated on the anti.siiver
platfor us he believes he wonld be in
dorsed by eastern Republicans. To
accomplish this purpose he will de.
vote all his energy until all the dele
gates to the Democratic National
Convention are chosen to secure a
majority for the single gold standard
Tho great army Of o~Hiceholders de-
pendent upon the Administration will
be used to determine the complexion
OF the Convention and IL it declares
against silver he will inevitably be
its nominee for President. Should
the convention declare for free coin
age he and his immediate followers
will o into the Republican camp
and fight the Silver men.

CHICAGO. Nay A-wheat Started
with a Wild iunge for The dollar marx
today. touching Gle for July option
before $50. AT tho tap OF The open.
ing bell almoet every nan on the
floor was apparently Yelling for wheat,
There was but little on sale, and the
market opened wildly at from 3 to 4
cents advance over lass night, the
fint trades ranging from 80 10 81 cents
as compared with Tx at Last nights
close. Tho big profits in Bic were too
alluring for many fortunate holders.
and as they began to let go in large
quantities. prices dropped from the
high point.
From Bic July tumbled rapidly to
1919 reacting about 10 o'clockto 79LS
The immediate cause ofthe bulge was
the condition of the foreign markets,
Liverpool vas reported as plunging
madly about &c above yesterdays
price and all the other European
markets were almost rs radically
strong.
One OF the greatest crowds seen in
many a day wa packed in the CALLER
les Of the Board. When the bell rang
every man and woman in the gallery
leaned forward with their gaze rireted
on the wheat pit, where the widest
excitement prevailed. The bare head
and perspiring crowd showed and
struggled In a mass, surging back and
forth across the bottom Of the pit and
upon the steps, like Gagged wild beasts.
An unframed ear could not detect a
single ineligible sound, but the
bears heard all too plain 80 to sou
bid for July wheat which closed
last night at Tx. The impression
seemed strong with the general
public that wheat was good for 81
and many are holding out for that
price.
President Baker OF the Board said
wheat would soone be cheaper at 81
than it Is now at SOC, and that it was
now cheaper at Soc than it was last
winter at SOC.
The trading was enormous. It was
estimated that probably 100000, 600
bushels ere bought and sold during
the trading hours. Every broker
had his hands full of buying orders
from out Of town SPECTATORS. Orders
from New York came by scores. The
difference between New York and
country orders was that the Gotham
spectators generally named a price
at which they desire to invest. while
the country dealers put no limit on
the transaction, their kilograms sim
ply saying buy wheat"
In the last ten minutes a phenom-
email slump occurred. July broke
from 8l4 to 7sSs, X advance over
last nights close. The decline was
due solely to the heavy taking of pro-
tits'by holders Of largely local pro-
fessionals. The country was a con-
sistent buyer up to the finish.
NEW YORK. May 3-In the wheat
market to-day there was a wild tumult
OF buying, with almost a total disre-
gard to price. July opened at SO to
s31f; rise Of 3 to 81 from the OFF,
cial close of yesterday. After jump
ing to s31s. the price lost 11Sc, then
swung back again up to s4A. Tho
transactions amounted to $4,000, 900
bushels before IL o'clock, which il
almost unheard OF.

CHICAGO. Nay 2a-Theg government
crop bulletin says: Tho exceptional
y cool weather Of tho past week has
been very unfayorable for mostcrops,
and widespread injury has been done
by frosts, which have been central
throughout the northern and central
parts Of Georgia, Alabama and Miss
issippi.
The damage done to the grape crop
has been especially heavy in New
York and Pennsylvania, and fruits
generally have suffered in all the
northern and central districts.
Corn has suffered seriously, 70 much
that replanting will be necessary, and
where not injured by frosts its growth
has been checked and the plant yell
lowed.
Cotton also suffered much from the
increasingly cold weather throughout
the cotton regions. Its growth has
been retarded, and cold nights have
killed a part OF the crop In the Caro-
linas and Georgia, rendering replant-
ing necessary.
Spring wheat is reported in excel
lent condition, and has not been un.
favorably affected In North Dakota.
Winter wheat suffered injury from
frost in Indiana and Missouri. In
Illinois the crop is less promising than
heretofore, and no improvement has
been experienced in Kansas and Ne.
braska. More satisfactory reports
arc. however, received from AR.
kansas, Tennessee and Kentucky.
Plants are small but plentiful in
