Loss of Life Not So Much as Reported.

London, October ga despatch from
Buluwayo gives further details of the
disastrous explosion which occurred in
that town yesterday, resulting in some
loss of life and extensive damage to
property. The magazine which exploded
was located in the outskirts of the town.
The greater part of the explosives in the
building was intended for use in mining
operations and consisted of SS cases of
blasting gelatine, 725 cases of dynamic
and 1000 boxes of deto iators. The ex-
plosio2 ia ascribed to bad shooting on
the part of sportsman who fred at a
hawk. 1t is supposed the bullet went
wide of its mark, and passing through
a window in the magazine, struck d cnse
of 1etonators. The wreckage caused by
the explosion was i'm mense but the re-
ports of the loss of life were axagzer-
ated. 1t is known that one white man
and nine blacks were killed which is
surprising in view of the violence OF the
explosion and number of persons in the
vicinity of the magazine. The total
number of injured is 3D. A large num-
Ter of horses and mules were Killed.

Hope for Success in Virginia But is
Doomed to Disappointment.
Washington, October l.-Chalrman
Butler does not think that fusion will
be defeated in Indiana. He says the con-
didates there are different from those in
any other state except West Virginia.
Both national committees have urged all
the state leaders where fusion was de-
sira BILE to steer clear of all alliances con-
oerning congressman and state oandi-
dates until after the arrangement of the
elsctoral hlate.
Chairman Butler in almost every state
except Indiana and West Virginia has
found the Populists eager to fuse on con-
gressmen ani state nominees. 1t has
been with considerable difficulty that
he has restrained tho Populist state
leaders from involving these with what
was to the Populist national committee
paramount.
In Indiana and West Virginia, he says,
the Dem ocrats have tried to force the
fusion of statc and congressional nomi-
nees upon the Populists as condition
Of fusion on the electoral ticket. Both
he and Chairman Jones have labored
with the leaders in Indiana. The Popu-
lists there in compliance with advice
from the national committee have certi-
fed to an electoral ticket of 10 Democrats
and five Populists. Chairman Butler
says the ticket will stand as far as the
Populists are concerned. Should the
Democrats refuse to pull down five cleo
tors which he regards as improbable
the Populists will simply vote for the
10 Democrats II Bryan loses the other
five In Novem Der the blame will rest up
on the Democrats.
The situation in West Virginia he says
is about the same. The Populists have
certified to two electors of their own
party and four Democrats. They refuse
all overtures for fusion on the state tiok-
| ct and insend to persist in 1t. Here,
as in Virginia Chairman Butler is con.
fdent that complete fusion will ulti-
matsly be arranged.
