FATAL EXPLOSION OF POWDER.

Eighty Persons Engaged in Empty

barcelona, Nov. ga terrible accident,
resulting in a sad loss of life, occurred
to-day at Palma, capital of the island of
1laioria. thirteen miles south of this city.
Eighty persons, most of whom We're wo-
men. were employed in emptying old
cartridges outside the walls of the town,
when one of the cartridges exploded.
There was a large quantity of powder that
had been taken out of the cartridges lying
about. and this was ignited by the dis
charge of the cartridge. A tremendous
explosion followed. which shattered the
masonry Of the town walls, which are ex-
tremely thick. and did considerable dam

life was has not yet been ascertained.
The bodies of seventeen dead have been
found but it is feared that many more
are killed, their bodies, perhaps, having
been blown TO atoms, as number OF
those who were at work have not been
accounted for. Forty persons We're seri-
ously wounded and some of them will die.
Many of the dead and wounded We're
found at considerable distances from the
scene of the accident, having been hurled
bodily through the air by the force of
the explosion. Some of the dead were
terribly burned and mangled, so much so
IN a number of cases, that identification
will be extremely difficult, if not impos-
sibe. An official inquiry into the cause
OF the disaster will be held.
Barcelona, Nov. PA later dispatch
from Palma states that the loss of life
through the explosion was far greater
than was stated in the first reports of the
accident. 1t Is known that thirty-seVen
women and four men were instantly kill

seriously injured, and Of this number

Washington, Nov. 25-Secretary Carlisle
to-day ordered the release of the schooner
James W. Foster, detained at Lewes, Del,
on suspicion of being about to start on a
filibustering expedition. Later in the day,
that the captain of the Foster, had refus-
ed to accept her release. The information
was forwarded to Attorney-General Har-
mon and he will instruct the government
ofhcials having charge of the vessel as to
their duties.
that the CAPTAINS action will not embar-
rass the department nor enure to the
benent of the captain or the owners Of the
vessel in any suit they have instituted or
may institute.
It is stated on what is believed to be ex-
cellent authority, that the United States
government hereafter will exercise its
own discretion in arresting and OBTAINING
vessels suspected of engaging or about to
engage in filibustering expeditions in favor
or the Cuban insurgents. Heretofore when
the Spanish minister, Senior de LONE, sus-
pected a vessel and communicated his sus-
picions to the United States government,
the suspected ship was at once detained.
In every instance when such suspected
vessel or her cargo was seized and the case
carried into the courts, the vessel and
cargo have been discharged for lack of
evidence under our laws to hold them.
This has embarrassed the administration,
il is said. and while it will live up to it's
treaty obligations with Spain, IL will re-

JUSTICE JAcKsox's MEMORY.
The Resolutions of the BAR Presented
to the supreme Court.

Washington, Nov. 25.-In accordance
with the request of the meeting Of the bar
of the supreme court of the United States
held last week, Attorney General Harmon
to-day presented to the court the resolu-
tions adopted by the meeting in respect Of
the late Associate Justice Jackson and
asked that they be spread upon the min
utes.
Chief Justice Fuller, in responding.

OF judicial duty to attract popular atten-
uon or TO win popular applause. but the
influence of faithful service, such as his

The pathetic incident at the close Of
Mr. justice Jackson's career, referred to
by the Attorney General (his coming from
a sick room TO attend the rehearing of
the income tax casesl, was characteristic
OF the man. Devotion to duty had mark
ed his course throughout. and he found
IN its inspiration the strength TO over,
come the weakness of the outward man,
as, weary and languid, he appeared i'm his
seat for the last time IN answer to the
demand OF the public eXigency. The re-
sponse to the ron call, under such cir
cumstances, gives complete assurance
when, few weeks later he came to the

Of the commission appointed by President
Cleveland last April TO Investigate and re-
port upon the feasibility and expense Of
construction of the Nicaragua canal

labors to the President.

commission does not think the canal can
be built for the sum estimated by the COM

Of the committee places the cost at $751;
Az, 1893.
The report is aid to be unfavorable to
the canal company, and certain features
of the plan OF construction are declared
to be impracticable. But the commission
ers say that more time should be taken in
making physical and typographical exam
nations, and for that purpose they recom-
mend an appropriation of $350.O00. II would
take 1S months, they figure to make the
necessary surveys and examinations to
discover, II the plans adopted by the con-
struction company are feasible.
