Greatest Explosion.

The greatest explosion Of gun
powder the world has ever known |
took place at the du Points works
on the 7th of October 1890. With |
their usual cautious policy the du
Points have never stated just how
great a quantity of powder explo-
ded at this time, but it is certain
that three magazines and three
mills in the upper yard were
blown up, one after another, and
a safe estimate will put the guam
tity of powder exploded at one
hundred and fifty tons, In this
explosion thirteen men and one
woman were instantly killed,
while twenty-five men and nine
women were injured, some fatally.
The explosion occurred little
after 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
1t began in the magazine for hex
agonial powder, the kind used in
large guns, and the most danger
Gus, being made not in grains, but
in reddish, six-sided cakes about
an inch thick, with a small pole
running through the center. These
cakes look like nothing so much
as the nuts on wagon wheel. At
the time of the explosion cakes Of
powder we're being packed into
large wooden boxes lined with tin,
each box being about three feet
square. The tin Innings projected
above the tops of the boxes about
two inches, and when a box was
packed, were folded down over a
tin cover fitted closely Upon the
cakes of powder. 1t was the duty
of one of the workmen, William
Green, to solder these tin edges
down upon the tin cover a hot
from being used for this purpose.
On the day in question, what he
had feared came to pass. A fel-
low-workmah, William McGafvey,
was bring him the hot irons from
a charcoal brazer about twenty.
five yards distant. Green stood
lust at the door of the open maya
zine, and all around him were un-
covered boxes filled with the hex
agonial powder, ready to be seal.
ed aid slowed away. There were
also dozens of boxes that had been
sealed. Just what happened will
never be known, for neither Greer
nor McGarvey was left to tell the
story. But the probability is. one
of the soldering irons was a little
too hot, and by touching a parti
Gle of dirt on the tin cover pro
duced the deadly spark. -Cleve

the following day would be The last.
a few minutes later, the town learned,
with dismay and indignation, of the
murderous attack that had been made
upon the messenger whom the van
uuished nation had sent to sue for
peace. Next morning the telegraph
wires were laden with messages of
deep regret and sympathy from all
parts of the nation. The emperor was
the first to send coincidence and he
quickly issued a decree declaring his
sorrow for the peril to which the en-
Toy had been exposed, condemning
the miScreant and commanding that
the utmost rigor of the law be brought
TO bear upon him. Officers Of the I'M
peTial household were ordered to con-
Fey His MajeSty's assurance of good
will Two surgeons OF the court were
also dispatched and skillful physi-
clans were summoned from the cap
stal.
After the shot was fired, the ambas-
sador showed great self-control. His
ette. 'ants urged him to return to his
ship, ut he declared he had perfect
faith in the Japanese authorities

A NOVEL SCHEME.
HOW A CHINESE SAGE WOULD END
THE WAR.
His Principal Weapons Would Be
Buckets of Water and Bamboo
POIes-How the Attack Should Be
Made.

! Washington, April 9.-Japanese mail
advices up to March 16 show that in the
native press the mission of Ii Hung
Chang occupies leading place. AS they
attach much Importance to the present
embassy, the papers state their ideas on
the terms of peace more definitely than
heretofore. While some journals are mod
crate in their demands, others declare in
unequivocal terms that peace is an i'm
possibility until the nag of the rising sun
floats over Pekin. The Mainicha in a
rather philanthropic manner, advocates
announcing the annexation of continental
China, not merely for the two usually
advanced reasons Ito secure the independ-
ence OF Corea and the maintenance OF
peace in the easD, but for two others,
viz: 1t would be contrary to the princl-
pies of humanity to suffer the Chinese in
the newly-occupied districts to fall again
under the barbarous rule of China, and It
would be regretted in the interests OF
the Chinese in general. If. after the war,
they did not have enlightened Japanese
near by to instruct them in the arts and
sciences of civilization.
An excellent scheme for the annihila-
ton of the japanese" submitted by
sage of high repute, is produced from d
Chinese newspaper. The scheme was or
the governor of Marking, who ordered all
those under his jurisdiction to devise
some scheme for the destruction of all
japanese. The scheme is this: Every
soldier should be armed with a sword,
long bamboo pole and bucket of water.
The pole and bucket should be held with
the left hand, While the sword is grasped
with the right. on charging down upon
the enemy the buckets should be hurled
a the opposing ranks so as to wet their
powder and render their guns useless.
The bamboo poles should then be thrust
between the legs of the enemy and given
a twist, which would cause the Japanese
to topple over in confusion. After that it
would be an easy matter to finish off the
dripping and PROSTATE foes with the
swords. The governor drove the pseudo
sage from his presence in a fit of rage.
Evidently the stout resistance when
the Japanese expeditionary army is ad-
vanced upon Pekin, says one of the jap
anese papers. will be by the Mohamme-
dan soldiers of China. This was Indicated
by the conduct of General Jsao at the
battle of Ping Wang. He acquitted him.
self as a true general should, while Yei
and other Chinese generals disgraced
themselves by pusillanimity. General
Tsao'S conduct at Ping Yang and Admir-
al Ting's at Wei Hal Wei were, the paper
says, the solitary bright spots in China'S
dark record during the war. Tsao was
the patriarch of the Chinese AIohamms-
dams.
A story has been told that when the re
port of Tsao's death reached his native
district his wife declared she would col
lect some 1900 Amazons and avenge the
death of her husband and the Motamn1e-
dams shared her resolution.

Washington, April 9. = President
Crespo, of Venezuela, has sent spec
ial message to the congress OF Vene-
zuela concerning the attitude of the
United States on the British-Venezue-
Ian question. Immediately following
the receipt Of the presidents message,
the congress passed resolutions heart
lily thanking the United States for it's
sympathy and support.
Senior Andrade, the Venezuelan min
lister here, today received copies of the
! message and resolutions. President
Crespo's message says:
THE high powers of, the United
States have just been given, in the
pending question between Venezuela
and England, a signal proof of the ex-
tent to which the principle of human
justice prevails among its great peo-
pie. The chief magistrate Of rnat
powerful republic, being persuaded of
the great peril which is involved for
American interests through the pro-
longation of conflict of such a griev-
ious nature, expressed in his message
to Congress, the strong wish of induc-
ing Great Britain to put an end to the
dispute by arbitration. In the House
of Representatives there was intro
duced in consequence q resolution,
which has been inserted in the yellow
book of Venezuela, and in the terms
Of which IS disclosed the noblest inter
est towards seeing the controversy
closed informally with justice and rea-
son. The resolution earnestly recon-
mendS to the two contending parties
the adoption of the course indicated
by the message of the president of the
United States in order to peacably
settle the dispute. The legislative act
referred to was approved by both
chambers, and President Cleveland af-
fixed the signature and seal thereto on
the 21st of February. Such tokens of
the spirit of justice with which the
transcendant question of the Guinea
boundaries is studied and considered
by the magistrate and legislature of the
great republic of the north requires
from Venezuela a significant act OF
special gratitude which only you can
sanction, SO as to express the wish Of
the people of Venezuela. Certain,
feel this idea will have the most eu-
thusiastic acceptance in the hearts Of
our worthy legislators.
The congress in joint assembly at
once acted upon President Crespo'S
suggestion. and the resolutions express
the deep appreciation of Venezuela for
the cooperation of the United States
in the contention.
Word reaches the legation here that
Venezuela feels so Secure in her rights
that she is pushing forward improve
ments in the disputed territory.
This is shown by a report from tins
commissary general Stating that he has
furnished a church, which is to be the
nucleus of settlement in the Amasure
region. This is a sort of Cenezuefan
outpost, where they are taking a stand
to resist further Entertainments OF
Great Britain.

THE VALLEY ROAD.
1t VIII Be Built Through to Salt
Lake Sure.

1t Will Be Built Through to Salt
Lake Sure.
A Salt Lake gentleman who returned
from San Francisco yesterday says
that the reports as to the enthusiasm
in California over the San joaquin
valley road have not been exaggerated
in the least. The proposition will be
carried to a successful issue because
first, the people are in full sympathy
with it, and second, because indepen-
dent capitalists are behind it. The
road will certainly be pushed on to
Salt Lake, and while the California
corporation expects The Utah company
to build out and connect with the
San Joaquin, there are eight men in
the latter company who are able to
build through to Salt Lake out of their
private fortunes, and will do so if
necessary.
A Herald reporter was yesterday
shown another letter from a California
gentleman, in which he states that
not only is the valley road an assured
fact, but arrangements are already
being completed for the extension to
this city. He concluded by saying that
the Salt Lake people can bank Oh this
proposition.
