MUCH CONCERNED
THE SECRETARY OF STATE OVER
THE VENEZUELAN PROBLEM.
Deadly German Rife which usos Nitro
Glycerine in Three-Ply Tube- Utah
Convention Stin Wrangling Over the
Woman Suffrage Clause.

Washington, April 1.-The secretary
of state is very much concerned these
days by the venezuelan problem. The
British ultimatum to Nicaragua Is not
q source OF political apprehension, for
1t Is not now believed that the British
will take actioG in the way Of acqulr-
ing territory in that direction or to
Jeopardize the property of Americans
In Nicaragua by bombardment In their
Efforts to coll2,t the indemnity de-
manded from Nicaragua. These are
the two moves that might cause the
United States to interfere. But In the
case OF the Venezuelan boundary dis
pute there is much graVer cause for ap-
prehension. 1t appears that our am
bassador, Mr.. Bayard, has not sue
ceeded In inducing the British govern
ment to give heed to the request sub
mitted by him at the direction of con-
gress that the boundary dispute be sub
United to arbitration. The British are
profuse in their declaration of a will
ingness to arbitrate the title to the
land west of the Schoomberg line, but,
IN the view of the state department
this Il pure evasion of the real issue,
Tor there never has been any reasona-
bic assertion Of a British right to this
territory and 1t is territory lying east
Of this line that forms the substance
Of the contention. The present situa-
tion Is believed to be alarming as arm
ed bodies of British and Venezuelans
are pressing each other closely In the
disputed territory and there may be
hostile clash at any moment.
The administration has been consid-
erably exercised over the course to be
pursued in such cases and 1t Is entire
" probable that If the British insist
IN bringing about such collision, not
wlthstanding the repeated warnings
and requests of the United States to
submit the matter to arbitration, then
the United States will feel Obliged to
follow the moral aid 1t has given to
Venezuela in this matter by more sub
stantlal assistance.

WRECKED BY AN EXPLOSION.
Tannery Converted Into Mass of Ruins
and Five Men Killed

ana rive men hllIeOs
WOODBURY., Mass, April 1.-Just be-
fore o'clock this morning one OF the
boilers in the Conn Tannery at this
place exploded with terrific force, kill
ing five men and injuring six others
The dead are:
ALLEN CLEMENT. foreman.
PATRICK LALLY, fireman.
THOMAS PATTERSON, night fore
man.
SAM TRACEY.
There had been trouble with the
boiler for some time and early this
morning John Parker, foreman OF the
plant, was called to the boiler room to
see il 1t could be fixed. 1t was soon
found that the water supply could not
be properly adjusted, but this was
remedied. Five minutes before O'Clock
Parker entered the boiler room and
ordered that the whistles be blown to
start the works.
The rope attached to the whistles was
pulled and instantly there was a fear
full explosion. The big iron smoke
stack on the boiler'was blown high in
the air and fell across the roof OF the
shop and the tall brick chimney fell
in thousand pieces, crushing the en-
CINE room below 1t. When the smoke
and dust cleared away, a scene of ruin
and wreck was revealed. Men hurreld
from all parts of the town and the work
of removing those buried under the
ruins was commenced Immediately.
The piteous cries of the injured who
were pinned under the debris urged on
the rescuers to more rapid work and In
a short time the bodies Of four men
had been removed and six Of the injur.
ed had been taken out.

MRS. BOOTH IN ST. LOUIS.
She Addresses the Merchants Exchange
and Speaka to the Point.

anu oPShhN ~ bho
st. Louis, April lat the closing
hour today President Booth called the
Merchants Exchange to order and re-
quested Mr.. Murray Carlton to intro
duce Mrs. Ballington Booth Of the Sal
walton Army.
Mrs. Booth said this was the first
time she had the honor of addressing
such an audience, and Sc fully realized
the necessity of speaking to he point
and briefly. She referred to the former
contempt in which the Salvation Army
was held and the way in which its sol
diers were avoided in the highways, and
of the change which had come over the
people. Now, instead Of feeling of re-
pugnance, the churches and the people
were lending their aid in every way.
1.-THE Salvation Army" she said, sis
not organized for the purpose of taking
away from the church its members, but
to bring them more members by re-
deeming from sin and darkness those
who are found in the highways and by
ways-the poor, the needy and the
fallen"
Mrs. Booths remarks were listened
to attentively and at the close the ap-
plause was long and loud.

HOLDS UP TwO MILES.
Deadly German Rifle Which Uses Nitro
Glyceriae In Three-PIy Tube.

Baltimore, Nd, April 1.-Captain
Morslager Of the steamship La Cam
pine, now in port, visited Fort Nc
Henry today and exhibited to the
soldiers a new German rifle with which
he did remarkable shooting. The rifle
Is one of the first made for the Ger
man government from a brandnew mod
ri of Mouser, the great German firearm
inventor. In appearance 1t Is some
thing like the Krag-Jorgensen military
rifle, now being adopted by the United
States army, but for shooting 1t
eclipsed anything yet made. 1t is of
% calibre and the barrel is made of
three tubes, one inside the other, on
the same plan as the Krupp gun. The
inner tube Is rifled and of hard temper
ed steel. The powder used is a smoke
less, nitroglycerine explosive, which
makes little report and no smoke.
Fired along at the height of the
shoulder, the bullet will go nearly two
miles before its force is spent and at
1000 yards 1t would pierce the bodies
OF seven men, placed one behind the
other

Bad DAY FOR oUTLAWs.

woodward, o. T., April 1.-(speclaD
All the deputy marshals who were
out in search of the escaped despera-

ter having secured the country for
miles around. 1t is thought the men
after escaping went to their old stamp

will be next to impossible to catch
them.
Colonel Jack Carney of this city
made sneak on all his friends yes

Crop Renorts for April.

Chicago, April 1.-The April crop re-
port Of the Orange Judd Farmer makes
the condition of wheat S5.3 or two
points lower than was reported last
year Immediately after the severe
March freeze. The plant is but little
further advanced than 1t was In De-
cember. A considerable portion of the
acreage sown will probably be listed
into corn. The condition on the Pa
citic coast is very high and If maintain
ed will make record for the year In
matter of yield. The rains of the last
two days may in some measure re-
store the plant to vigor which seems to
be lacking.
The Prairie Farmers report for April
makes the condition of winter wheat
S5.S against $50 last month and S6.7 as
estimated in official reports Winter
rye is 81 against 94.4 last April. Con-
dition of swine is 91.7 against 97.1 last
year. The number of brood sows as
compared with year ago is reduced
per cent.

Salt Lake, April 1.-The constitu-
tional convention spent the day in de-
bate on the woman suffrage question
One member declared that the woman
suffrage plank was put in the Repub-
lican platform in the last election to
catch votes and that the Democratic
convention sought to outbld them.
In the discussion that followed, as to
who wrote the Republican platform
and why the plank was inserted, Rob-
erts, Democrat, said the suffrage plank
was put In to catch Mormon votes, the
most Of whom 1t was believed favored
the measure. President Smith be-
lieved the time had come for woman
suffrage and said he would vote ac-
cordlngly. A motion to close the de-
bate at $3.50 was lost.
The convention adjourned with a
substitute for separate submission of
the suffrage section. Debate on the
substitute closes tomorrow and a vote
Is expected in the afternoon. An adj

defeat of the substitute and the adop-
