over "A Hundred Injured, Many Of Whom
win Die-Many Dead.

BUDA PESTH. July 90.-The powder
magazine at Funfkrohen, capital OF the
county II Faranla. exploded this morning
with fatal results. The shock OF the
explosion was terrific The town hall was
almost completely wrecked and other
buildings in the vicinity were badly dam
aged. SO far as known, five persons
were instantly killed aud eighty serious
~ wounded.
Later investigation shows that the ex-
plOsiOn was more disastrous than at first
reported. II il nov known that more
than ane hundred persons were injured
and II Is thought that a large proportion
OF them will die. Some OF the buildings
IN the vicinity of the magazine collapsed
under the effects OF the shock, and there
is reason to believe that many OF their in
mates were buried in the ruins. The
municipal authorities, aided by the mill
tary. are making every effort 10 clear
away the ruins and rescue those who may
De imprisoned beneath them. The mag
azine Is located but a short distance from
the square in which market is held. To-
day was market-day and the square was
crowded with rustics when the explosion
occurred. Among the injured are many

Bancroft to be Manager.

A number OF Union Pacific officials
are travelling in the West, and while
in Omaha, this week, Mr.. Oliver Ames
is reported as saying:
There is no question about the Ore
gon Short Line and Utah Northern be-
coming separate system, but it will
make but little change, hope. be-
lieve that the Union Pacific will vir-
tually control the road. think that
the general manager will be Mr.. Ban
croft, at present the general superin-
tendeDt of the mountain division OF the
Union Pacific. He is the most desira-
BILE man I believe to oil parties"
Mr.. Coolidge, in reply to question
Of Bee reporter az to the chances for
the separation OF the Oregon Short
Line from the Union Pacific, said that
such move would undoubtedly be
made, but he was unprepared to say
whether or not matters were In readi-
ness for it yet awhile. II was his opin-
ion that the management OF the Short
Line after the segregation had been
effected certainly would wish to work
harmoniously with the Union Pacific
interests, and as far as the operation OF
the road was concerned it would be
practically as though it was member
of the old Union Pacific system.
