1ErOlite's Freak.

MADRID, Feb. ll.-Thc sun was shining
brightly over this city yesterday when a
loud explosion was heard that set the
populace in panic. The only thing Wis.

across the heavens, leaving behind it a
train of fine, white dust When the ex-
plosion occurred the populace believed
that it was an earthquake or a sign of
divine wrath.
Many injuries resulted from the panic
which broke out among the people and
from the frantic attempts made to escape
from the factories and schools.
Seventeen persons were injured in one
tobacco factory by the collapse Of the
staircase when the inmates rushed upon it
to escape from the building. At the
palace IL was at first feared that a bomb
had been exploded. Much damage was
done py the force Of the conclusion to
walls and windows throughout the city.

as if this attempt will be deferred, at least
until there is greater certainty Of accom-
plishing something than now appears to
be the case. Some of the older Republi-
san senators express the opinion that it
would be unwise to tie up the senate in
