TERRIfIN ] INkMIIE EXPLOSION
Not Soul Left to Tell the Cause of the
Accident.


COLOGNE, March 21.-A terrible explo
sion of dynamite took place at Salmouth
In the district of Dusseldorf. The cargo of
the ship Elizabeth, consisting Of 10000
kilos of dynamite, was being loaded when
the explosion occurred, killing q number
of people and doing terrible amount Of
damage. Another vessel which was along
side the Elizabeth caught fire ard was
burned. The bodies of flve victims Of the
explosion have already been recovered, and
six persons believed to have been killed
are still missing uu.
Two hundred and twenty tons of the
| explosive was taken in six boats from Lo-
bith TO Salmouth last january en- route to
Antwerp, whence it was to have been
4, shipped to Australia Owing TO the ice
blockade in the river the dynamite was
landed at Salmouth, where it was stored
awaiting the reopening of navigation. In
the meantime the Elizabeth had been
chartered to take the dynamite forward,
and the cargo was being stored when part
of it exploded The cause of the explosion
is unknown, as every person ON board the
Elizabeth was killed.
The force of the explosion was so great
that three vessels at Dobith, the last Dutch
village on the Rhine, were sunk Several
houses collapsed at Keeken and other vii
/ lagos while windows Sere shattered
within wide area. At Cleaves five miles
from the scene of the explosion, doors
were torn off and window frames smashed,

The Loss OF the Reina Regente.

MADRID March 21.-There no longer
seems to be any doubt that the story of
the wreck of the Spanish cruiser Reina
Regente is true The coast of Gonil, north
of Cape Trafalgar, where the cruiser foun-
dered, according to the report of the COM
mander of the Alfonso XII, is strewn with
wreckage belonging to the Reina Regente
and with officers uniforms, flags, etc,
showing beyond any reasonable doubt
that the warship is lost. The authorities
will not allow people near the coast OF
Gonil, fearing painful scenes when the
bodies of the drowned sailors are recov-

CLAIMS WORTH MILLIONS
Sources Of Good Living TO Hun
dreds of Attorneys.
NOT MANY GREAT FRAUDS
The Skillful Lobbyist Profits More by
Pushing Small Measures which Can
Easily Be Manipulated and Do Not
Attract Much Attention From the
Legislators-Some Historic Cases.

The time of the United States Congress
has been much occupied from the earliest
days with private claims. They have been
a source of a good living to hundreds of
attorneys and of large wealth to few.
The claimants have in some cases recov-
cred large amounts and few great frauds
have been perpetrated. 1t is a matter of
great difficulty for Congressman to ia
miliarize themselves with the merits of
the larger demands even, and it is simply
impossible for even those specially charged
with such matters 10 look into the facts
i'll a small part of the bills providing for
the payment of claims ranging from 500
to $4,000.
As result the skillful lobbyist can choose
his time and by shrewd manipulation put
through measures that have not the first
shadow of merit.
1t is in these small demands that most ol
the large frauds is practiced. A large
claim is sure 10 attract opposition, and IL
viii be carefully scrutinzeG before it is
passed. The small claims, on the other
hand, are little noticed, and with careful
handling by experts go through without
hitch. In this way millions of dollars are
taken out of the Treasury, and very few are
any the wiser.
Every war has been prolific of claims.
Maryland, Virginia and the city of Balti-
more all had big claims for troops and
munitions after the Revolutionary war,
and New York was given "a good allow
ance from the public funds at the close of
the civil war on similar score.
1t was customary in the earlier days to
meet such calls by land grant These
were frequently of huge proportions. A
military patent for 900 acres was very
ordinary thing, and some We're for twenty
times that area.
These were frequently In the form of
The morning times., 1895-11-10

mentioned are the Joe Blackburn and tho
Gavatta. The Blackburn is the harbor
police boat, and was built for and used as
yacht by Munroe, the publisher. She was
butt at Staten Island in 1884 and came to
WashingtonUn June6, 1888. Senator Black
burn had been one of the fighters for an
appropriation for this boat, and in his honor
the craft was named. Police Pilot Russell
Dean has steercd her over the local courses
and has never struck a snag. The only
casualty In which she has been involved
was when Policeman Constantine fell from
her afterdeck off Stump Neck and was
drowned. Harbormaster Sutton is her cap
tain.
The Gavatta is the steam yacht of Mr.
Dos Pasos, q New York lawyer, and has
been lying in this harbor for two years,
with occasional trips outside. She was for .
merly the steam yacht Florence. She is a
worthy little steamer, fast, and sumptu-
ously fitted up.
In addition 10 the ships mentioned Wash
irgton has a fleet of about fifteen tugs, the
strongest being the Key, Lennox. Mohler,
Cave. Templar. Goldsmith Maid, Juno.
Harlow, Spray. Pierce, and German Then.

warrants which called for no special
territory, but allowed the holder to choose
his plantation from whatever part OF the
public domain pleased him.
As a result there are thousands of acres
In Virginia and Kentucky 10 which there
were three or four titles. One survey would
overlap or run across another, and when the
captain or general came 10 possess his lands
he frequently found some other captain or
general in possession.
Such disputes We're usually settled in the
courts, though cases are known where
peaceful means were treated with con
tempt and the quarrel settled by an appeal
To arms. The city of Louisville is built
mainly upon one of these old revolution
ary grants given in place of a pension.
After the civil war there were thousands
and thousa nds of claims for military stores
furnished, for the use of property for hospi-
tails for barracks, for the use of steam
boats for lis burned TO make camp-fires.
All the claimants were ready to estab-
lish their loyalty throughout the strug
gle, although resident in the South. and
their number was sufficient to make a
very respectable army.
Congress worried along with these for
years, passing some aud rejecting others.
The attorneys meantime found good pick
| ings 10 them. Finally general overhaul
| ing of them was made, and all that were
considered meritorious were gathered in
one bill and offered for passage by the last
Congress, but the measure was never
passed.
Upon 1t were hinged the hopes of hum
dreds, and on the strength of the prospects
held out by ii one well-known Washing
ton man sold his house and allowed the
purchaser to make off with So, 500 bor-
rowed on the property.
THOUSANDS ARE SUPPORTED.
Pension claims form a department by
| themselves, and there are probably
| fifty thou sand persons in the United
States who derive their support from the
| investigation, pressing, and securing the
allowance of them. On the other side the
army of clerks at the big red building on
| judiciary Square are occupied in investi-
CATION aud payment, with thousands of
physicians throughout the country to help
them.
EXorbitant charges by attorneys became
SO common in this department very early in
Its existence that the Government fixed
scale of fees, and deviation from it is
punishable with fine aud imprisonment.
Another class of claims is for Indian
depredations, and there Is a Senate COM
mittee, with Senator Lindsay at its head
just now, to look after these exclusively.
1t is said the frauds upon the Government
in this connection are more diverse in
character and present more curious COM
plications than in any other. There are
very many of these claims still pending.
In nearly the same category are the
Indian claims. When a tribe is deprived
of Its lands In any way its only redress is
to get a bill through Congress allowing
pay. To do this requires years of work
getting up evidence, and the attorneys
come in for huge slice Of the final allow
ance.
Their fees as allowed by the courts

These claims are being bought up and
consolidated so as to make ii worth
while to prosecute them aud great fight
will be made all along the line TO have
them allowed. 1t is said that thousands
of stamps, showing that the tax has been
paid are being purchased by persons who
can make a colorado show for such
claim from men whose use of the al
cohol put them plainly outside the law
An interesting feature of the affair is
that Senator Hoar is thought to have no
particular interest in the amendment further
than mischievous desire to embarrass his
political opponents. The amendment was
never discussed In the Senate, because the
venera BILE Massachusetts, Senator couldnever
be caught in the Senate chamber after its
introduction and before the passage OF the
bill long enough to have ii brought up.
Senatorial courtesy forbade that 1t should
be considered, and possibly defeated during
his absence. Senator Lindsay chafed sharply
under the restraint, and 1t is said threat

in and allow him to bring the amendment
before the Senate he would disregard pre-
cedents and defeat the section anyhow.
He did not try it, however.
OTHER HISTORIC CASES.
The Mora claim, recently paid; the French
spoliation claims, of which some So
600, 900 still remain for Che benefit of the
attorneys, after hundreds of men have got
rich out of them, and the McGarrahan claim
are familiar to everybody. 1t is said that,

legal adviser, got very little. and finally
had to pay the funeraIexpenses of his client.
or cases where fraud was attempted
and found out the most gigantic of recent
years was the Weyl and La Abra claim.
This was for lands in New Mexico under
Spanish grant.
1t was several times within sight OF the
Treasury vaults, but by some stay OF pro-
ceedings was procured TIL finally the Gov
ernment agents unearthed proof that
case had been made up almost out of
nothing, and the whole was scheme to
enrich a few men at the expense of the
Government. The demand was finally de-
feated only within the past year.
