Two Men Killed and Others Injured by .
Boiler Explosion.
PITTsBURG, Jan. l Two men were
killed and others injured by boiler ex-
plosion at the 40 inch mill in the Car
negie Steel works at Homestead. The
killed are Harry Brennan and John
Gorecka. The injured are John Dernak,
skull crushed and badly scalded, cannot
recover: William Banks, seriously but
not fatally scalded by steam. The acci-
dent was due to the impure river water
which supplies the boiler. Heavy encrus-
tations of mud blocked the injector valve
and the water failed to feed into the boil
ers. The boiler was completely wrecked,
eDtailing a loss of S10,O
When the explosion occurred Breen-
man was standing beside the boiler and
Gorecka was stocking the furnace. They
were blown forty yards away and were
crushed and scalded SO terribly that the
bodies were unrecOgnizable. Dernak' 8
skull was crushed by heavy fragments Of
one of the boilers falling on him. Banks
was employed in the 35-inch mill and was
passing through the boiler room when
the explosion occurred. He is badly
burned about the body and limbs. A
false report was circulated that the explo-
sion had been caused by dynamite.

SILVER AND LABOR QUESTIONS.
Believes in Bimetallism and Wants Its Re
turn fastened.


81 am in favor of bimetallism, and in
this the United States should lead the
world do not admit the claims SO per-
sistently made by advocates of free and
unlimited coinage of silver that our
present evils are the result of so-callcd
silver demonetization; nor do l believe
that the remonetization of silver would
produce any startling changes in exist
ing conditions. am satisfied, however,
that the decentralization of one-half OF the
worlds supply of the ultimate money of
redemption was not for the best interest
of the people Of the world and think we
should do everything in our power to
hasten the return of bimetallism among
the nations of the earth.
"To those who fear the effect of Amer
lean silver coinage have this to say: We
are not realizing financial prosperity I'M
der existing gold monometallism, and 1t
Is worth our while to try the experiment
of return to bimetallism. The legisla-
ton to accomplish this should, however,
be carefully considered and wisely guard
ed, and the mints of the United States
should not be opened to the silver pro-
duct of any other country until these
great nations are ready to join US in in
ternational biInetallism.
Il know of no reason why the United
States should surrender its claim against
the Pacific roads if it can enforce ultimate
collection by "a series Of annual payments
guaranteed by reasonable security. 1t Is
urged. and quite plausibly, that such an
extension of the debt would compel the
people of the west to pay increased tariffs
in order TO enable the Pacific companies
to meet the government requirements
In my opinion-and believe my great
familiarity with the subject enables me to
Judge correctly-such would not be the
case"
Referring to the labor question he said:

arbitration modelled upon any plan sim

The Pune,s Choir.

The finest choir in the world is that
of St. Peters, in Rome, known as the
pope's choir. There is not q female
voice in it, and yet the most difficult Or
atorios and sacred music are rendered
in such a manner as to make one think
that Adelina Patti is leading. The choir
is composed of 60 boys. They are train
ed for the work from the time they get
control of their vocal cords, and some
Of the hest singers are not over 9 years
old. At the age of IL they are dropped
from the choir-Rome Letter.
