EXPLOSION OF GAS.
Two People Injured and Damage Done
to Property.

Two People Injured and Damage Done
to Property.
CHICAGO, Jan. 5.-An explosion of
gas which occurred in the basement of
the Renfro building at Fifty second
and Cottage Grove avenue this after
noon injured two people, and did some
damage to property.
At APO this afternoon George Miles, a
fireman, was in the basement looking
for a gas leak with a lighted torch in
his hand. AS he entered the front part
of the building an explosion took place,
which threw him about twenty-five feet,
and shook the building sufficiently to be
felt on the sixth floor, the top of the
house.
Miles was severely burned by the
flames which followed. He is in the
hospital, but his recovery is expected.
Following him in his search for the es-
Gaping gas was the janitor,, Mar Claus
sen. Claussen was also thrown some dis
tance and was burned, but his injuries
were Slight.
AS soon as the explosion occurred,
there was a general exodus from the
building. Several aides tainted when
told what had happened, and that there
was a fire burning. The water pipes
were frozen, and it looked for a mo-
ment as though there was great danger,
but the firemen quickly stopped the fire
with their chemical engines.

retta upon Cardinal Satolh gratifies the
Holy Father beyond measure, and he
asks your eminence to express his sat
isfaction. Furthermore, as a token of
his deep appreciation, he empowers
your eminence to impart to all present
at the ceremony his apostolic benedic-
ton. M. CARDINAL RAMPOLLA.
To-day's ceremony was the third step
in the formal elevation of Cardinal Sa
tolli, the final step to occur within six
months, when he will, in compliance
with his official oath, so to Rome to visit
the tombs of the apostles. and the cere-
mony, which makes him a full member
Of the Sacred College, entitled to vote
for Leo's successor, then takes place.
This is the most important and inter-
esting Of all the ceremonies. The Pope
has temporarily conferred the title of
Apostolic delegate upon Mgr. Sbaretti,
Secretary and Chancellor of the delega-
ton.
After the ceremonies which lasted a
little more than three hours, Cardinals
Satolli and Gibbons were entertained at
a dinner at st. Mary's Seminary. Two
hendred prominent clergymen and lay
men were seated at the tables. Car
dinal Satolli and the members of his Of
fetal household returned to Washing
ton tonight After having been the
representative of Rome in Washington,
Cardinal Satolli will be, on his return
to the Vatican, the representative of
Washington at Rome.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-The Su-
preme Court of the United States will
reassemble tomorrow after fort
nights holiday recess. The occasion
will be made memorable by reason OF
the fact that the appearance Of Justice
Peckham, the new member of the court,
will make a full bench for the first time
since the dramatic farewell last May
of Justice Jackson, when he read his
dissent from the opinion and judgment
of the court in the income tax case.
The list of cases assigned for the hear
ing this month contain some notable
ones and the arguments will be likely
to attract unusual attention. Among
them are what is known as the irr1ga-
tion bond cases from California-one
from the Supreme Court of the State
and one from the Circuit Court of the
United States of the district of Califor-
mia. They involve the constitutional1ty
of the law authorizing the organization
of irrigation districts, and the issue OF
bonds by the trustees of the same and
the consequent validity of about $40
100000 of these bonds. The State
courts have upheld the law and the
Federal Court has said it was uncon-
stitutional. Ex-President Harrison is
expected to appear in this case, which
will probably occupy the attention of
the court in the week beginning Janu-
ary Goth.
In the same week the famous case of
the United States VS.. the adninistra-
trix of the estate of the late Senator
Stanford of California will probably be
heard. In this case. as is well known,
the United States seeks to enforce the
personal liability of the stockholders of
the Central Pacific Railroad for the OBJ
legations of the corporation to the Gov
ernment. The lower courts have decided
against the United States. A reversal of
that decision means the absorption of
the entire estate left by the deceased
Senator, and the consequent failure of
the Leland Stanford, Jr., University of
California, which he founded and en-
dowed in memory of his son, the fore
most educational institution on the Pa
cific Coast. The interests of Mrs. Stan
ford of the university will be presented
by Joseph H. Choate, the famous New
York attorney, whose last appearance
before the Supreme Court of the United
States was in the income tax case,
which he won.
other cases to be argued are the fol-
lowing: Plutarco Ornelas VS.. Inez RinZ
eft al, presenting the question whether
or not these followers of Garcia, the un-
successful Mexican revolutionist, who
fed to this country, are political ref
ugees, or plain criminals, subject to
the laws of extradition. Long VS..
Lochren, the noted case of a Judge of
the Michigan Supreme Court against
Pension Commissioner Lochren, in
which he seeks to prevent the commits
sioner from interfering with his pen
sion. Long has been unsuccessful in
the courts of the District of Columbia.

BooKMAK1NG AT THE FAIR
L. U. shfppee Comments In Regard to
the Matter.

STOCKTON, Jan. 5. - Governor
Budd's anger has been aroused in re-
gard to the recent structures of Presi-
dent L. U. Shippee of the San Joaquin
Fair Association, on his recourse in re-
lation to bookmaking and pool selling
at the late State Fair. Mr.. Shippee is
apparently not the least perturbed and
this evening gave Cali reporter the
following comments in regard to the
matter under discussion. Mr.. Shippee
said:
1.-THE Governor overlooked the fact
that the pool sellers collected per
cent. at the last fair for commissions,
which is nearly double the percentage
ever allowed them before, at least for
ten years or more. The board has al
ways questioned the advisability of al
lowing bookmaking at the State Fair.
If the per cent. had been collected in
1894, as in 80, the income to the So
ciety would have been nearly double
what 1t was. The additional three days
this year would have, at the old rate,
brought the receipts up to $4,000, with
out any bookmaking, and the directors
alone are responsible for allowing the
raise from 20 to B per cent. to be col
lected; and in regard to John e. Budd,
the Governor should recall that the
State Board held from eight to twelve
meetings from the time his brother was
appointed until the close of the fair,
and, according to the Governors own
claim, his brother was only at two of
the sessions.
''I assert that John E. Budd was not
at a single meeting held during the
actual progress of the fair, nor did he
assist in any of the work of the board.
AT one of the two meetings he at
tended the sale of the bookmaking
privileges were let to George E. ose,
and he voted for it.
'"The Governor says the association
is in fine condition. The fact is, without
State aid, the meeting would have run
from $4,000 to $4,000 behind. In 1894
no gambling was allowed publicly in
Sacramento or at the fair, but in 1895
the gambling was allowed to run at
will, according to common report.
in regard to the Killip pool matter,
I stated that 1 was opposed to taking
percentage from Killip or anyone else,
and thought that the privilege should,
If sold at all, be for actual considera-
ton and not a percentage. Killip sold
pools in 1893 and 1884 at 212 to s per
cent commission, and this year he was
allowed to charge per cent, and it
came from the pockets of those attend
ing the fair.
"The insinuation Of the Governor that
he did not promise my reappointment is
nothing less than falsehood. You dc
not have to take my word for it, but ask
Hon John Boggs and other members of
the Board of Directors. Although re-
elected President of the local board, /
shall decline to serve. For twenty-five
years have contributed my time and
money to the aid of the State associa-
ton, and am willing to give the new
board a chance to show its superior
ideas of management

REVOLT IN CUBA.
The Insurgents Now Almost at the
Gates of Havana.

The Insurgents Now Almost at the
Gates of Havana.
NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-The Recorder
will say tomorrow morning: An ex-
traordinary meeting of the Cuban Junta
was held yesterday to discuss matters
of extreme Importance. The meeting
was held in strict secrecy and no infor-
nation as to what took place could be
obtained. It was, however, gathered at
the Cuban revolutionary headquarters
that the subject of discussion was tho
advisability Of transferring the junta to
Cuba, now that the insurgent army is
almost at the gates of Havana.
Both President Palma and Secretary
Queseda have expressed their willing
ness to start for Cuba just as soon as
General Gomez signifies his desire to
have the gentlemen of the junta at his
side.
1t may be stated on the best of au-
thority that Havana will not be attack
ed until the chief members Of the junta
are in the field ready to enter Havana
and take possession of the Capital in
the name of the Republic of Cuba. This
part of the programme has been posi-
lively decided upon, and pending the
opportunity for carrying it out, General
Gomez will continue to circle around
Havana. applying the torch and laying
waste the territory.
The latest news from the insurgenr
camps states that the officers of the
Provisional Government are strongly
intrenched in Puerto Principe, awaiting
word from General Gomez to advance.
When the time for giving this signal ar
rives, the New York junta, according to
Gcmez's plans, will secretly leave for
Cuba and join the Provisional Govern
ment in the march to Gomez's camp. A
wealthy sympathizer has placed a swift
steel vessel at the disposal of the junta
to convey them to Cuba This fact is
known to the Spaniards, who have
doubled their forces of spies and detect
ives in consequence.
HAVANA, Jan. 5.-The insurgents
are around and about this city. n
fact, the whole island with the excep-
tion of Havana is in the hands of Co
mez and his men and the situation is
in their hands. Havana spent a day
of nervousness and anxiety and has
been in hourly apprehension of an at
tack by the insurgent army or a part
of it. Yesterday the bands commanded
by Nunez and Bermudez were seen at
Managua, village not more than ten
miles from Havana.
Under Gomezs direction the insur-
gents made a vigorous onslaught upon
the center of General Campos' line
yesterday. and after a fierce fight they
swept the Spaniards aside, forced their
way through the line and are now
marching triumphantly westward to-
ward the province of Pinar del Rio. In
this province are the finest tobacco
plantations in Cuba and these are now
at the mercy of the rebels.
The land telegraph line between this
city and Batabno, connecting with the
cable from the latter city, has been cut
by the insurgents south of Bejucal. This
cuts of communication between Ha-
vana and Cienfuegos, Sancti Spiritus.
Puerto Principe. Manzanillo and San
tiago de Cuba. It also stops telegraphie
traffic with Key West, the West Indies,
Venezuela and Panama.

HORTICULTURAL BOARD.
Their Headquarters VIII Soon be Lo-
Gated in sacramento.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 5.-Agree-
ably to Governor Budd's desire that
the members of the State Board of
Horticulture should be at Sacramento,
the members of the board have taken
measures to secure quarters. One of
the officers went to the Capitol the
other day to look over the accommoda-
tions. No rooms were found available,
and the board secured rooms in the
Mills building for the time being.
Later the Secretary of State wrote,
at the request of Governor Budd, to
President Cooper, rendering rooms in
the Capitol. Mr.. Cooper answered that
he had submitted the matter to the
members by letter and in his judgment
it would be unwise to make any change
at that time, because it was at a sea-
son of the year when the boards time
was most fully occupied.
The answers to President Cooper's
letter shows that five of the eight con-
stituting the boarea, favor moving. The
matter is soon tt, be taken UP by a
coming meeting of the board,
and the headquarters viii prob
ably be moved as soon as
