DR.. Robinson Talks STRAIGHT,

DIR. Robinson, who was in at
tendance upon the late state con-
vention from its opening hours,
until the gavel fell at adjournment
says that the apparent results OBJ
tanned by Quincy were accomplish
ed only by fraud Of the most out
rageous character. That Quincy
betrayed the trust reposed in him
as temporary chairman, by pack
ing the credentials committee with
men whose own seats were in con-
test, but who we're his willing
tools; that he stifled the voice Of
the convention by refusing to al
low a call Of the roll upon each
occasion when 1t was demanded,
we'll proving that he was in a
hopeless minority and lacking
the common honesty and courage
to apply the test. Under such
conditions, but one way was open
(other than a resort to force and
that was taken, by a reorganiza-
ton OF three-fourths OF the regular
ly accredited delegates and a con-
duct of the business before them
in a decent and parliamentary
manner. DIR. Robinson cannot
conceive how any self respecting
person can accept powers(C be-
slowed upon him by the Quincy
rump, who inflicted such humiliat-
ing proceedings upon the people
OF Texas.

GREAT BRITAIN YIELDS,
Brazils Sovereignty Over the
Island of Trinidad Is
Acknowledged.
The Republic May Now Permit the
Establishment of an English
Coaling Station.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Feb. 5.-The Her.
AIDS cable from Buenos Ayres says: Rio
Janeiro advices state that the British
Minister has received a dispatch from
England ordering him to recognize the
sovereignty of Brazil in the island OF
Trinidad.
1t is now probable that Brazil will per-
NIT Great Britain to establish big coaling-
station on the island for her South Atlantic
squadron, and that she will grant the right
to lay cal bic on its shores. In diplomatic
circles there is great satisfaction expressed
at the amicable settlement of the question.
The Brazilian capital is greatly excited
over the news from Para. received yester-
day, to the effect that the French gun
boat Bengal, patrolling the waters in the
disputed territory of Amapa, on the from
tier of French Guiana, had seized cargo
on board a boat sailing under the protec-
tion of the Brazilian flag.
The press of Amapa calls upon the Bra
lillian Government to make vigorous pro-
test to France

TOYS WITH AN EXPLOSIVE,
Disaster Caused by the Curiosity
of a Photograph Gallery
Employe.
Experiments Result in the Wrecking
of Building and Injuring of
It's Inmates.

CHICAGO, ILL. Feb. 5.-Persisting in
his attempts to solve the secret of fash
light powder manufacture, F. T. Dunning,
an employe of the firm of Powell & Lau-
renee, photographers, at Yale and Sixty
third streets, Englewood, succeeded this
morning In causing an explosion which
wrecked the building in which the studio
is located, severely iniuring himself and
Mrs. Laurence.
Mr.. Laurence is the inventor of the pow.
der, and has confided to no one the secret
OF its composition. He employed Dunning
merely to mix and pack the material. He
was working with two and half ounces oil
the powder when it ignited and exploded
over two pounds of the stuff in thlrty-six
boxes near by ready for shipment.
The room is in the second story and the
explosion tore door from another apart
ment, hurled it through hall and struck
Mrs. Laurence in the head. Dunning was
found unconscious, covered with debris
and bleeding from a dozen gashes. Mr..
Laurence was IN the gallery on the first
floor, where the falling debris almost buried
him. The lives of all the occupants were
saved by the walls not collapsing
This is the third explosion in the gallery
caused by the fiash-light powder, the sec-
ond being yesterday. When the first one
occurred some weeks ago Mr. Laurence
was forced to jump from the second-story
window and was seriously injured. MANY
windows in the vicinity were shattered bv
to-day's explosion.

toward Point Wilson, in order TO keep
from being driven ashore on WILDLY
Island.
The captain did not reckon on q strong
tide rip around the point, and when he
least expected trouble the Kilbrannan was
caught in tide rip and quickly carried
ashore by it, piling up high and dry. She
soon began pounding, and has now been
worked by wind and waves some distance
up the beach toward the point.
There were no tugs in the harbor when
the wreck was reported early this morning,
but the ship is in such condition that it
is doubtful whether anything can be done
for her unless it be by dismantling her and
getting rid of the ballast.
The Kilbrannan is an iron ship of 1872
tons, and was built by Russell & Co. at
Glasgow, in 1882 She is 1854 feet long,
38.2 beam and 22.8 feet deep, and cost fully
$10O, 900. Kerr, Newton & Co. are her
owners, and she was commanded by
Captain N. McCallum, whose wife was
passenger on board. She was brought
ashore this morning.
The ship carries twenty-si1 men. The
insurance is not known.
The storm last night was one of. the
worst ever known in the straits and lower
Sound, and it is probable that other acci-
dents will be reported as the result of it.

tachments followed the body as the cortege

ried IN 1885.
