Mariners think possibly she Is embedd

The steamer Ulunda. upon her arrival

their way when they stray into clouds
and mists. On starlight nights strag-

San Francisco, May PA terrific ex-
plosion and conclusion which was dis
tinctly felt all through the city and at
towns around the bay, for distance
of forty miles. was at first believed to
be caused by an earthquake, but proved
to be an explosion In the nitroglycerine

The explosion occurred In the nitro
glycerine house, and was probably caus
ed by the Chinese dropping can Of the
explosive. The cause cannot be def
nItely ascertained, however, as all con-

were 200 Chinese in the adjacent mixing

FIVE TONS OF EXPLOSIVES.
The nitroglycerine house first went
UP, then the mixing storehouse and gun
cotton in the premises followed. The
nitroglycerine house, Of which not a
Vestige now remains, was a three-story
frame structure, 1900 by 50 feet. 1t
confined 5000 pounds OF nitroglycerine,
and 1000 pounds Of hercules powder. A
remarkable feature Of the explosion Is
that although the storehouse, contain

completely wrecked its contents are In

went up with a roar and a sheet Of

summing up as it does the progress of
the whole world from month to month,
is none the less strong in in its Ameri-
canism. The editor, it is easy to per.

the August number he points out as
one of the most significant utterances
of the last month the speech made by
M. Hanotaux, the French Minister of
Foreign Affairs, at the Independence
Day banquet of the American Cham
Der of Commerce in Paris, which evil

was brilliant and intelligent tribute
to the United States of America as the
foremost of modem nations. "Noth

"has been said in long time that has
been so deftly designed to promote
warm relations between the French
Republic and our own, as M. Hano-
taux's frank and hearty speech. Unless
we are greatly mistaken in reading
what seems as simple as the alphabet,
the French Republic has wisely con
cluded that the best possible course
for the French to pursue in their rela-

The republican township caucuses,
except those already held, will convene
Monday night, for the selection of
delegates to the county convention, to
be held in Audubon Saturday, August

manifested, and the probabilities are
that there will be large turnout in
every township.
AS to the result of the convention
it is impossible to make an accurate
guess, as the sentiment for the several
candidates varies in different parts of
the county, as to who should fill those
offices for which there are more than
one aspirant.
