The President Receives a Mammoth
Specimen Of Southern Favorite.
Washington, July 23.-President Nc
Kinley was the recipient today of a
unique compliment in the shape of a
large Georgia watermelon. Several
members of the delegation in congress
accompanied by several ladies, and W.
FL. Mitchell, of Atlanta, the Southern
freight agent of the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad. made the presentation in the
Blue room. The melon was about two
and half feet long, and measured six
feet in circumference. 1t was packed
in a golden hamper, wrapped IN the
American flag and entwined with white
silk ribbon, on one end of which wat
the flag of the United States and on the
other the arms of the state of Georgia.
Representative Livingston made the
presentation speech. In doing SO he
referred to the old adage about the
Greeks bearing gifts, and assured the
president when opened no offce-seeking
enemy would emerge.
The president made happy re-
spouse, saying among other things that
he was especially gratified for the as
surance that it contained no office
seeker.

New Workers Interested.

New York, July 2O.-This city has
been touched with the gold fever. The
past "a hours has seen come to the
front at least 1900 Argonauts. who
will be on the way to the Clondyke re-
gion just as soon as arrangements can
be made for transportation. This city
furnished more '49ers than any state
in the Union. It would not be strange
at all if this city should within the
next six months, assuming there is a
confederation of the favorable reports,
be more largely represented on the
boats slowly stemming the currents Of
the Youkon than the entire Pacific
coast.
Some notion of how the craze is
spreading may be had from the fact
that within 48 hours an advertisement
calling for those who desired to join
an expedition to Alaska and who had
from $500 to 81, 900 to invest was an
swered by more than 200 applicants.
In this particular case there was some
misunderstanding, inasmuch as the
company publishing the call, is. in the
main, trading company, while the
applicants were eager to 60 as prospect
ors, or to ally themselves with what
even might be 'grub-stake" concerns.
However, 80 men have enlisted in it's
service, and will start for the Clondyke
region within three weeks. They will
go az employees of the company, essen
TALLY, but in the event Of their strik-
ing paying claim or becoming inter-
ested in one, the company will aid
them by advancing money sufficient to
develop promising strikes.

INSTANTLY KILLED.
Seven People Meet Frightful Death
at New Haven.

at New Haven.
New Haven, July 23.-An appalling
accident occurred this morning in the
shell-loading department of the Win
chester Repeating Firearms Company's
works. Without an instant's warning
six human beings lost their lives by an
explosion and another victim died soon
afterward at the hospital. A score of
others were more or less seriously in
jured but no further fatalities are an
ticipated.
More than $50 men and women are
employed in the loading department
and that more fatalities did not result
from the explosion is miraculous. The
hundreds of people who gathered about
the gates Immediately after the explo-
sion witnessed a gruesome sight. Six
dead bodies, blackened with powder,
and frightfully mangled, almost beyond
recognition, were lying ON the floor.
Near by two injured mon were writhing
in agony and all about were men run
ming with their faces and arms bleeding
from shot wounds, unmindful of the in
juries, but trying to assist the injured
and quell the confusion. Owing to the
number of girls who were carried out
in fainting condition, it was believed
that many of them were seriously in
jured, and there was a great feeling of
relief when it was found that in most
cases they were unframed.
The explosion occurred in the loading
room. Employed in this room were
$50 hands, two-lnirds of them girls and
women. Nearly all the female hands
were employed on the loading ma
chimes. The full complement of hands
was at work in the room when the ex-
plosion took place. Forty feet of the
side of the building was blown out, and
fragments of human bodies were scat
tered in every direction. All available
physicians, fire department, police, am
bulance and hospital corps were speed
lily summoned.
narrowing scenes were enacted as the
vast throng congregated about the place.
The victims who were alive were made
as comfortable as possible and conveyed
with all possible speed to their homes.
Two bodies had been decapitated.
Others had been partially torn asunder
and still others had been dismembered.
Edward Barderoff died after being taken
to the hospital, making the seventh VIC
tim of the explosion.
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined. T. q. Bennett,
president of the company, said:
eve have been running automatic
loading machines for more than 20
years, and this is the first time any one
has been injured. Since the adoption
of these machines We have had no acct
dents in the use of black gunpowder. >"
Bennett expressed the belief that
through the carelessness of an operator
or powder boy the machine that explod.
ed had been overcharged.

REACHED THE SENATE.
The Session will End With the Dis

The Session will End With the Dis
posal of the Tariff Bill.
Washington, July 22.-The tariff
conference report was reported to the
senate today, but little progress was
made on it beyond the formal reading
of about two-thirds of it. During the
day Tillman openly threatened fill
buster until next December if cotton
bagging and cotton ties were not re-
stored to the free list, but the threat
was regarded as somewhat facetious.
The sugar amendments ocas .oned a
long debate, during which Allison
stated that the conference rates were
lower than those of the senate, and
largely concession to the house.
Vest, Jones, Berry and White ques-
toned this statement, urging that the
sugar trust secured larger benefits from
the conference schedule than from any
previously offered. The lumber amend
ment also brought out animated criti-
cism from Teller and Pettigrew.
Early in the day the senate passed a
joint resolution authorizing and re
questing the president to take all neces-
sary steps for the release of the Com
petitor's prisoners from prison at
Havana.
The general opinion is that the
quorum of the senate will disappear
very soon after the disposal of the
tariff bill, but the determination of the
supporters of the Harris Pacific rail-
road resolution to secure vote upon it
before final adjournment may delay
that consummation for some days.

Fort Smith, Ark, July 80. = A
shocking case of restitution came to
light in this city yesterday. In an old
shantv within the shadow of the Uni
ted States Jail, lying upon pile Of
straw and covered with rags, was found
Mrs. John Hauer, the widow Of once
well-known German resident OF this
city, almost dead with malarial fever.
In another corner lay two scantily
clothed corpses. They were the bodies
of Mrs. Hauer's children. one 6 months
old, the other years. The children
had died from disease, exposure and
starvation. In the hut were also found
Mrs. Jordan, Mrs. Hauer's mother, and
three living children, all of whom were
fast yielding to the pangs OF hunger.
Mrs. Hauer was removed to hospital,
where she will die.

Large Number Of Nets and Traps in
Bakers Bay Destroyed.

Bakers Bay Destroyed.
Astoria, Or, July 22.-News was
brought to this city today that great
feet of fishing boats had destroyed
many nets in Bakers bay, last nigh,
and this morning. There were between
SO and 100 boats, in each Of which were
two or more men. The men were all
masked, wearing handkerchiefs over
their faces.
The fleet evidently congregated at
the head of Sand Island last night. af-
ter having formulated plans. From
there the boats proceeded to the bay.
destroying all the traps that lay in
their path. Whenever possible, the
men sawed off the trap-poles When
this was impossible, they tore the nets
to pieces. From the information at
hand it appears that nearly 100 traps
were destroyed. This morning the de-
struction was continued. No attempt
was made to stop the work of the men.
The action of the men in this destruc-
ton Of property is no doubt due to the
fact that the price of fish has been re-
duced. Within the last few days the
traps have been doing exceptionally
we'll, and it is believed the plan for
their destruction was formulated by
vengeful men, although, of course. it
cannot be definitely said that the ma
RAIDERS were fishermen owing to their
masks.
The traps belonging to Samuel Ell
more, MCGOWAN & Sons and B. A. Sea
borg received the attention of the men,
Seaborg's property suffering most. A
few private traps were molested. The
men could be plainly seen from the
shore, carrying on their work of destruc-
ton, but no attempt was made to stop
them, as it was supposed they were
heavily armed.
Complaint was made to Deputy Uni
ted States Marshal Stuart, but he has
taken no action as yet.
The affair has created great excite
ment. 1t is said the men have vowed
to remove all the traps in the river,
claiming that they are the cause of the
reduction in the price of fish. The
Gamers have taken no action as yet for
the protection of their property, and
will probably obtain permission to keep
an armed force in the bay. 1t is under
stood the owners of the destroyed gear
will offer 81 900 reward or the appre
hension the offenders.
