Columbus, Ohio. May 21.--Hon. Allen
w Thurman, chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee. on being asked
today what he thought of Secretary
Carlisle's speech, said:
ITO all those who are conversant
with the history of the subject, it is
simply laughable to think that the
great secretary Of the treasury, in de-
tense of the administration and sound
money, has been compelled simply to
rnfsI1e the same speech that has been
made by the Hon. John Sherman each
year for the last twenty years. 1t is
almost a dead copy, and has been an
swered over and over again until the
people are weary of it.
Never Was Understood.
The same dishonesty pervades it
as does the copy from which it is
taken; but in the case of Mr.. Carlisle,
it is worse, because he pretends TO
be a Democrat, and then states that
Democratic senators, and among
them my father, voted for the act of
1873. -,
'HSjFs trying to create the impress
sioA all the while by his statement,
that they did this with the full know
ledge OF what the bill contained,
when he knew that every one of these
senators and represent tives Gncluding
the grand old Beck from his own state,
by whom he now tries by misrepre-
sentation to help bolster up his own
traitorous position) denied in open
Senate that they had any knowledge
of what he tries in this speech by
fraud TO make people believe they
d. AS. for instance, Judge Thurman
said: 7 cannot say what took place
in the House; but I know when the
bin was pending in the Senate We
thought II was simply bill 10 reform
tbSs(mint, regulate coinage, and fix
-R one thing and another and there
was not a single man in the Senate,
unless a member of the committee
from which the bill came, who had
the slightest idea that it was even
squint towards demonstration
senator Black said, 1t Ghe bill de-
monetizing silver never was under
stood by either house of Congress. I
cav that with the full knowledge of
the facts Nearly every member of
the Senate and House made similar
statements. Why did not Mr.. Car
Isle tell the whole truth? Can peo-
r&a believe such man honest?"
do you think the speech will do
the silver cause any hGrm?''
"Weu, as 1 said before, Senator
sherman has been making il fer
twenty years and the silver cause
doeAsot appear to be growing any
less; and more, I suppose that Senator
Sherman will make the same old
speech at the Republican convention
next week
Senator Thurman IS quite i'll at
present. and unable to keep up with
the silver question. which he and his
son discussed for years together and
on which they fully agreed.

San Francisco, May 21.-A terrific
report 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 earthquake, but proved
to be an explosion in the nitro glycer-
Inc and mixing houses, store house
and gun cotton departments OF the
California Powder works at Pinole,
across the bay. The crew of the gly-
cerine house. four in number, and the
foreman of the mixing house, were all
killed. as were nine Chinese working
in the latter department. The explo-
sion occurred in the nitro-glycerine
house, and was probably caused by
the Chinese dropping a can of the ex-
plosive
The cause cannot be definitely ascer-
tanned, however, as all connected with
the building are dead.
There were 200 Chinese in the ada
cent mixing room, and at the sound of
the explosion all ran, and the major
ity escaped. The force of the explosion
was tremendous. Huge trees were
thrown into the bay, distance of
half mile, and nitro-slycerine tanks
weighing ton each ara now lying 500
yards distant from the scene.
Toes, hands. legs, and other parts of
the mutilated rem aims of the dead are
scattered along the road for a. mile
The nitro-glycerine house first went
up, then the mixing house and store
house and gun cotton departments
followed. The nitro-glycerine house,
of which not a vestige now remains,
was three-story frame structure
1,200 by so feet. It contained 5000
pounds of nitro-glycerine and 1000
pounds of hercules powder. A remark-
able feature of the explosion is that
although the store house, containing
1 1000 pounds of hercules powder is
completely wrecked, its contents are
intact. In all 10000 pounds of explo-
sive went UP with roar and a sheet
of flame. The fatalities are as follows:
Clare Johnson, foreman glycerine
house.
D. A. Dean, both of Pinole.
H. Minugh, of Oakland.
c. Velegas, Of Martinez.
w. D. Taylor. foreman mixing house
Nine Chinese.

racing in New York. 1t was unani-
mously agreed that adverse legislation
in several states had already crippled
the business of breeding thorough
breds in Kentucky until it was now
not more than one-third as remunera-
tive as it was ten years ago. The
breeders think the trouble lies in the
fact that the gambling element has
been allowed to assume control of rae
ing instead of being kept in control by
the legitimate horsemen. Unless some
thing was done to elevate racing and
put it on the high plane it occupied less
than a decade ago, the breeding bust
ness would be completely destroyed
and valuable studs and costly farms
in this state would become almost
worthless

1T is DUE TO INSOMNIA AND DYs-
PERSIA.
His AiIment is Said to Be Practi-
caIIy Incurable, and Every Week
He is Prime Minister Takes 4
Year OFF His Life.

New York. May 2.-A special from Lon
don says: Mr.. Edmund Robertson, civil
lord of the admiralty and member OF
the government who accompanied Lord
Rosebery on his journey and returned
with him, says that the alarming reports
regarding Prime Minister Rosebery' S
health are unfoUnded.
Lord RoSebery," said Mr.. Robinson,
is decidedly better than when he went
away
AT the same time reports from other
well informed political sources are to the
effect that Lord Rosebery's ailment is
practically incurable. His insomnia was
long antecedent to the influenza attack.
its real cause being chronic dyspepsia,
which has resisted all medical treatment
In fact, Lord Rosebcry is threatened with
incipient loss Of power in the digestive Or
gans.
Up to the present moment, nevertheless.
he IS resolved to continue at the head Of
affairs until a general election, though in
the opinion of his medical advisers every
week he paSses as prime minister takes d
year off his life.

Pittsburg, May S1.-A bill Of COM
plant was filed in the United States
circuit court here today, alleging an
infringement of patents by the present
Carnegie Steel company. 1t was filed
for Schneider & Co., Of Paris, France,
by their attorneys, Johnson & Monroe,

that the defendant be restrained from
making armor plate or other appIan-
ces with the famous nickel steel pro

use of the process until this time.
1t is alleged that in 1890 Andrew
Carnegie. was in Europe and opened
negotiations with the Nickel Steel COM
pany. which owned the patents, for
making nickel steel. He agreed to pay
cents per pound for each pound of
steel made by his company, and by
reason of these negotiations now claims
license. which the compliments deny.
The complainant asks that the de-
PENDANTS disclose their profits for the
four years of ALLEGED infringements I'M
der an accounting for that time and
cease the infringements for the future.

HARCOURT WORRIED.
The MacGregor Plants a Thorn in
His Side.

His Side.
London, May 21.-William Vernon
Harcourt, the leader of the house, was
worried in the house Of commons last
night by DR.. Donald MacGregor, the
Scotch Liberal member, representing
the governments intentions toward the
Crofter's bill. Harcourt replied that
he would make a statement on Thurs
day. The doctor angrily exclaimed:
THAT is not good FORM" and the
house shouted with laughter as he rose
and paced the gangway with stately
step, stood in the centre aisle, bowed
solemnly to the speaker. and turning
his back on the chair, walked out OF
the house. MacGregor is an open ex-
ponent of the dissatisfaction of GER
tain of the Scotch Liberals at the
shelving of Scotch business in the
mousse. Tonight he resigned his seat.
The Liberal wire-pullers are working
hard to get him to reconsider his &C
ton, especially as the government ma
jority in last nights debate on the
Welsh church disestablishment bill was
reduced to 9.
The lobbyist of the Chronicle says
this morning: cit is perfectly clear
that unless something is done to draw
the party together the government is
doomed and that soon.'

NEED NOT APPLY.
FOREIGNERS SHUT OUT FROM
INDIAN HEAD.
Government Does Not Propose to
Spend Millions, and Then Give
Away the Results.

Washington, May 21-At nearly all the
tests at Indian Head and other places
where experiments are conducted upon
armorxshells and guns, officers of foreign
naviesSAnd armies have been admitted.
Objection has been made to this by both
branches of the service, on the ground
that the United States is expanding many
millions in making war materials ana
that foreign governments have been en-
abled to procure information concerning
these matters without expense. 1t has
been pointed out chat foreign gov
ernments are in the habit of guarding
very jealousy their own experiments or
this kind, so as to prevent other nations
from profiting at their expense. Last
week, for the first time, the navy depart
ment adopted a new rule. The ordnance
officers We're making some interesting eX-
periments to determine the question as to
whether a bursting shell could be shot
through an armor plate representing the
sides of one of the best of the modern
battleShipS.
AS usual, applications were made by
the military attaches OF the Frencn anu
German governments for permission 10
witness the experiments, but Assistant
Secretary McAdoo was Obliged to deny
the applications as courteOuSly as posi-
BILE and hereafter these officers Will be
obliged to acquire information as TO the
result of experimental tests made by the
navy department from official recon-
mendations which the ordnance officers
think it prudent 10 make public.

COMING EASIER.
Two Big Claims Against the Sanford
Estate WitIA ravn.

San francisco, May 21-Two big
claims against the Stanford estate
have been withdrawn in court by the
authority and direction of all the in
terested parties. One claim was for
$4,000 held against the estate by
Marie Hall Williamson. The other
was for 100000 held by Horace NJ.
Carpenter, the capitalist, of Oakland.
Both claims were Withdrawn after
the completion of other arrangements,
and the making of new notes.
Carpenters claim represented a
joint liability, in which not only the
Stanford, but the Croker estate was
interested. All of the arrangements
were completed by the attorneys in
New York. After the settlement had
been made there an announcement to
withdraw the claims was telegraphed
to this city. This important transfer
relieves the Stanford estate of an in
cumbrance which had created a great
deal of trouble.

Embedded in Ice.

st. Johns, N. F., May 21.-Nothing
has been heard here of La Gascogne.
Mariners think possibly she is i'm
bedded in the ice and unable to work
her way through, or that they have
struck an iceberg. There are great
quantities of ice off the New Found
land coast now. The steamer Oulunda,
upon her arrival here, reported passing
sixty large icebergs. The Allan liner
Carthagenian also met a good deal of
ice. As easterly winds prevailed, it is
not improbable that the La Gascogne
will make this port.

pIOsiOn.
Wheeling, W. Va, May 21-The first
reports of a disastrous explosion at
the Monongahela mine were widely ex-
aggerated and a number of very sem

the country. The exact facts are that
at 1890 this afternoon a Pole carelessly
ignited d can of powder in mine No.
of the Monongahela Coal and Coke
company, and a. terrific explosion fol-
lowed. The accident occurred in the
main air course leading to mine No. .,
about 500 feet from the mouth of mine
No. 4, and the smoke was thus driven
through the different parts of the
mine suffocating four miners. Quite
a number of others were seriously but
not fatally affected by the smoke. The
names of the dead are:
G. L. Bertcher, an old man, who
leaves a large family.
William Shaver, aged 10.
Luke Verika-
Andrew Dunloe.
Mine Inspector D. NJ. Harrison is
making an investigation. The Monon-
gahela mines are the principal works
in the upper Monongahela coal field
and the company is headed by ex-Uni-
ted States Senator Camden.

THIS TIME.
Twenty 'Other Rebels Killed and
Many Others Badly Wounded

Light.

Havana, May 21.-An engagement
between the Spanish and rebels was
fought today in eastern Cuba, in which
Jose Marti, who was proclaimed presi-
dent of the revolutionary party. was
killed and his body positively identi-
ned. Colonel Salcedo received positive
information that a band of Insurgents
under the command of the well-known
leaders, Jose Marti, Maxine Gomez.
Masso and Barrero, had taken up a
line Of march to pass the river Neuto
in the direction of Victoria de las Tu-
mas, with the design of marching upon
Puerto Principe. Colonel Sa1cedo des-
patched Colonel Sandoval with a de-
tachment of troops to march in pursuit
Of the rebel band.
Colonel Sandoyal found the enemy
encamped at a point between Bias
and Boca des Ricas on the right side
or the Contreamaster river, small
tributary of the Cauto. The strip of
land between the two rivers is high,
thus making it a strong position.
Nevertheless, Colonel Sandoval at
tackled the camp and found his troops
harassed by a scattering fire of single
shots from cover. The fight lasted for
an hour in this manner, at the end of
which time the Spanish. troops ad-
vanced and took the enemy's position.

many others were wounded and left

land. At the offices of the company
confidence is expressed that the
steamer which was so admirably ham
died under trying weather conditions
last winter will reach port in safety,
there having been no storm at sea
since she sailed from Hayre. The fact
that the course usually taken by La
Gascogne contains at this time nu-
merous icebergs may have prompted
the captain to take a longer route or
to move slowly and cautiously.
