TERRIFIC EXPLOSION,
A Blg building Destroyed and Many Lives
PrDDaijly Lost.

New Haven, Conn. Jan. 2l.-A ter.
rifle explosion occurred this forenoon
on tho second floor OF the four story
brick building owned and partially oc.
cupied by English g. Mcrrick, makers
and dealers in carriage hardware. The
explosion was followed by the almost
instantaneous breaking out of fire and
in few seconds the three upper stories
were in flames. 1t is etated that at
the time of the explosion there were 40
persons at work in the building and ii
was seemingly impossible for all of
them to escape Three minutes before
the explosion the occupants of tho
several offices in the front OF the build.
ing were seen at their desks, and it ia
almost certain that some of these lost
their lives. AT this hour it is impossi-
BILE to give the number of the dead, but
it is known that one man was killed
outright; that several persons were
badly and perhaps fatally injured, and
that others were painfully burned.
Tho explosion which caused the fire
blew out the entire front of the build
ing and smashed glass in nearby places
1t was followed five minutcs later by
second explosion, less severe than the

was caused by gas, with which expert.

ago company OF New York capitalists
began making gas containing com
bination of limo and ealt. 1t was in
tended to supply small consumers with
cylinders, of tho gas calculated to last
six months Recently the gas was
tosted and found to be satisfactory but
highly explosive On the floor where
the explosion occurred there were 20
men at work.
Later information states that ono
person was killed and four persons were
injured. 1t is possible that the bodies
of several boys may be found in tine
ruins. The building is totally burned ;

Delawaro's Educational Position.

journal ot Euuchlion. .e
The State of Delaware has an educa-
tional position wholly unappreciated by
the world at large OF the South At
lantic States, in tho average days Of
schooling for all the children from 5 to
is years OF age, Delaware is 20 per cent
higher than the next best, and 30
per cent higher than the average OF the
other seven States. She is equally
above any of the South Central States.
and of the Northern States, she is
above Maine, New Hampshire, New
Jersey, Indiana, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas. the
Dakotas, Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada,
Idaho, Washington, and Oregon. In
the average attendance sho makes u
still better showing. In the pay OF
teachers her average figures are not
> so creditable, because she has only one
city to swell tho average. Tho absence
of normal school is seriously felt,
but the average quality OF the teaching
talent is high, exceptionally high, be-
cause 1t is the fashion for women,
especially of good families, to teach.
The daughters of professional and bust
ness men very generally enter the ranks
of teachers There are three counties
of the State, and these now hayo enter
prisipg young men Of high professional
aspirations for the teachers of the State.

The AMERICAN POLICY.
Boston Herald. mi

Boston Herald.
The greater tho tax imposed upon
us by the government, especially for
unproductivo purposes, the harder it
will be for us to succeed in our indus
trial competitive struggles. That in
the last 20 or so years we have forged
ahead at the expense Of France, Ger
many, and England, has been largely
due to the absence in this country of
the policy OF armed defence that has
been maintained by these foreign
nations. This has boon our great and
UNIQUE advantage, and is the founda.
tion rock upon which the Monroe
policy was based of keeping ourselves
out Of the European turmoil and pro.
hibiting the extension of that turmoil
to this continent. But il, as Senator
Lodge now proposes, We are to place
ourselves, by enormous expenditures
of public money, in a position to meet
these foreign nations upon an even
footing, the the Monroe Doctrine will
have lost its reason sor existence.
II We are to have the army, the navy,
the coast defopces, and the military
supplies which would enable us TO take
part at any time in great foreign
war, why, after paying the tremendous
annual expense which such process
of preparation would require, should
we hold ourselves aloof? Under such
circumstances, we do not believe that
this indisposition to participate in
military affairs Of the world would be
exhibited. 1t is with nation as ii is
with men; a Corhett or a Sullivan can
hardly pass "a hours without discover
ing someone who has insulted him, and
who requires to be summarily dealt
with but the poet Whittier or Phillips
Brooks had doubtless as wide range
of experience in life as either of these
two pugilisis, and yet, probably, mother
Of them ever discovered in what was
said to him an insult which needed
physical punishment. We believe no
right. minded American has in the last
so years found single reastn to de-
plore the fact that the United States
did not have great army and navy
and thorough system OF coast defence.
| Other Americans who are not right
minded have, as we have indicated,
discovered during this interval that we
have been sneered at and insultsd, and
that it is time to put ourselves in q
condition to properly punish those who
thus dare to ruifle our dignity. In ouI
opinion, this is not onyl a serious, but a
lamentablo departure from the tradi-
tional policy of the United States-a
policy that has done more to spread the
gospel OF peace throughout the world
than any act or experience of modern
times. To depart from this now would
be, on our part, but the beginning of q
| great and terrible decline.

THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

Washington, Jan. 20. Senator Davis
of the Senate committee on foreign re-
latioss, to-day, reported favorably the
resolution enunciating the Monroe
doctrine. Tho resolution is as follows
(tho resolution being preceded by
preamble reciting what that doc

Therefore, he it resolved, That tho
United States Of America reaillrms and
confirms tho doctrines and principles
promulgated by President Monroe in
his message of December I'd, 1923, and
declares that il will assert and main
tain that doctrine and those principles,
and will regard any infringement there-
of, and particularly any attempt by an
European mower to take or acquire any
new territory on the American conti-
nenta or any islands adjacent thereto,
for any right Of sovereignty or dominion
in the same, in any case or instance, as
to which the United States shall deem
such attempt to be dangerous to ita

purchase, cession, occupation, pledge,
colonization, protectorate or by control
of tho easement in canal or any other
means Of transit across the American

tension Of right in cases OF alleged

founded pretensions, as the manifesto.

Two Important Matters brought TO the
Attention of Chancellor Nicholson.
The argument in the case of John S.
Elliott, Erancia 0. Elliott and Bonia-
min S. Caulk vs.. the Council Of
Newark was concluded before Chan
cellor Nicholson on Friday afternoon.
The complainants were represented by
Charles B. Evans and j. Harvey
Whiteman, and the defendant by
Charles NJ. Curtis. The Council sought
to take portion OF the front of the
complainants' property to wiClon the
main street. The bill before tho Chan
cellor was to restrain the Council on
the ground of alleged irreguarity in
the proceedings, it being held that the
Council did not have an ordinance or
the petition of the - freeholders as
required by its charter. Chancellor
Nicholson reserved decision.
II. II. Ward, representing Todd, Sui
livan & Hawkins Of New York, made
application before the Chancellor on
Friday afternoon for a restraining order
on Sheriff Gillis to proven, his selling
the goods of |. w. Gibney, the cloth
ing merchant OF Eighth and Market
Gtreots. The sheriff's levies were made
last March and April, whereas it is
held that the goods in the store were
bought after that time. On this
ground the complainant, who is one of
Gibney's creditors, seeks to restrain
the sheriff from selling. The rule was
made returnable ON Monday, February
Sd, until which time the court adj.
journed.
