THREE WOMEN DYING.

St. Louis, Mo-, September 2s.-An ex-
plosion of powder today in the basement
of four story building at 40 North
Fourth street, occupied by g. & W. Nc
Lain, dealers in fishing tackle and sport
ing goods, blew out the front of the struc-
ture and set the building on IRE.
Three women jumped from the third
story and are dying. They were out and
burned In addition to being hurt by fall
ing on the pavement.
Fireman Behlly of Co. 10. was cut
about the head by falling glass.
All were taken to hospitals in ambu-
Iances. The flames communicated to the
building on the south side occupied by
the St. Louis brookery company The
loss on the building occupied by the
McLain company will be total. i
An effort was made by the tremen to
rescue the three women. but before lad
ders could be put up the women jumped

failed to get out.

POSTAL TO HAWAII.

Washington, September 2s.-The numer-
GUS articles of mail matter reaching the
San Franeisco post office addressed to Ha-
wati and paid for only at domestic rates,
indicate general, but erroneous impress
sion that cur domestic postal system was
extended to these islands when they were
annexed. The post office department
has called attention to the fact that the
universal postal union rates apply to
the Hawaiian mails as heretofore, the
only exception being in matter addressed
to our military or naval forces there, to
at least the same rates apply to mails and
from Hawaii as before the annexation.

Both the English and French flags are
flying at Fashoda. Major Marohand hay
ing refused to haul down the latter on
the demand of Sir Herbert Kitchener.
Of course the English commander could
easily force the French to ha ul down the
flag as he has much the stronger force,
but the two govrnments will try and set
tie the matter by negotiation before ap-
pealing to arms, and the chances are that
they will succeed.

Judge Herrick of Albany is as likely as
nybody to get the Democratic nomina-
ton for governor of New York, unless
Croker feels that he can safely force Van
WICK upon the rural voters. Herrick
would be acceptable to the Bryan element
because he supported him in che cam
paign of 1896. The gold Democrats prob
ably would make no violent opposition to
him, because, though he supported Bryan,
nobody believes that he really believes in
free silver Mr.. Herrick is one of the
judges of the appellate division of the
Supreme Court.

The New Jersey Democrats yesterday
repudiatsd the Chicago platform by de-
oisiye majority. There seems to be no
question but their action was knock
down blow, without any ifs or ands. If
Bryan doesn't escape from his military
engagement with the country soon, and
brace up the free silver brethren, the gold
Democrats will have got possession OF the
party machinery in the East.

The Democrats of Chicago managed
to get up good deal of show Of enthu-
siasm over free silver and the Chicago
platform at mass meeting the other
night. Elk Gov. Altgeld was the star of
the evening and the enthusiasm with
which ne was received showed that all
efforts to discredit him with the Democ-
racy have failed. He has evidently lost
none of his popularity, and his grip on
the state Democracy is as strong as ever.

We believe the platform of the New
Kork Republican convention contains the
first fatfooted, unequiyocal declaration
in favor Of holding everything over
which the flag has been raised that has
bsen adopted by any convention, either
Republican or Democratic. We have an
idea that this position was taken more
in Difference to the views of the candidate
whom the convention nominated than to
those of the Republican masses, for whom
it presumes to speak, A soldier candi-
date was thought to demand an imperial
platform, and so the imperial plank was
inserted, without, we suspect, very much
inquiry as 80 whether it correctly repre-
sented the Vows of the majority of the
Republicans or not. A milder deliver
ance on this question would, we believe
have come nearer hitting the average
sentiment of the party.

The Democrats and the SO called indie =
pendents have already raised the cry that
the convention that nominated Roosevelt
was "Platt's convention" If somebody
else had been nominated it would have
been just the same. Everything that
happens in New York state, according
to the Democrats and independents, hap
pens because Platt wants it to, and
when thing fails to happen it is because
PIatt doesn't want 1t to. Yet the truth
undoubtedly is that the nomination of
Roosevelt is not agreeable to Platt, how
ever much he may now claim it to be.
Roosevelt is not the kind OF man that o
Boss would select. because he is headstrong
and uncomfortable. The fact of the
matter is that Platt saw that the popular
current was running so strongly for

The massing of practically three
Is, 900 men-at Chickamauga Park,
New Orleans, Mobile, and Tampa, is
the first open move towards the
military occupation of Cuba. The
plan of the campaign is all made out,
but so we'll has the secret been kept
that no person, not an official, can
positively say whether these regulars
will have militia assistance in their
invasion of Cuba or not. The general
impression is that they will, and that
call for volunteers from the militia
will be issued by President Mckinley
within 46 hours of the moment his
signature is attached to the joint res
olution authorizing forcible interven-
ton in Cuba. 1t is understood, but
not officially, that the President has
decided to adopt the plan of calling
for volunteer militiamen rather than
one calling upon each state to furnish
it's quota of the number Of men de-
sired, and that the organizations which
volunteer first are to be accepted re-
gardless of the states from which
they come. According to estimates
made by War Department officials,
more than 100000 volunteers have
been offered to the government which
is about twenty times more men than
anyone expects to be needed.

Just after meeting of the Cabinet,
at which the probability of the mate
realization of the forcible European
Intervention upon which Spain relies
to save it from a terrible thrashing
was referred to in a discussion, a
member was asked what would be the
probable result of an atte mpt on the
part Of the six great European pow
ers to force the United States to with
draw it's demand that Spain evacuate
Cuba. "Fighting and plenty of it,"
was his prompt reply. That repre-
sents the position of the administra
ton to a dot. 1t proposes to drive
Spain out of Cuba, regardless of wheth
er it has to fight Spain alone, or the
allied powers. This is very well
known to the European Ambassadors
and Ministers at Washington, unoffic-
tally, and they have only to give the
President an opportunity, by present
ing a note either threatening or an
nouncing European Intervention, to
be made officially acquainted with it.

AN EVENTFUL DAY.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Congress
today formally declared war to exist
between the United States and Spain,
the Senate passed the naval appropri-
alton bill carrying large amounts Of
money for the Improvement of our
sea fighting arm Of the federal SER
vice, the House army reorganization
bill was passed by the Senate and now
goes to the conference. Secretary
Sherman resigned as chief of the state
department, to be succeeded by As
sistant Secretary Day and the latter
by John B. Moore of New York, an
acknowledged authority on interna-
tional law, and the war department.
called on several states for their quota
to be volunteers of the army Of the
United States. These make up the
important events Of the day.
1t was not announced when Secre-
tary Sherman's resignation would
take effect, the secretary having
yielded his original idea Of leaving at
once, and it is presumed that he will

his successor. The selection of Mr..
Moore, who is now professor of inter
national law at Columbia University,
New York, to succeed the latter was
warmly welcomed by all Of the state
department employees. Appointed
originally from Delaware in the state
department by Mr.. Bayard when the
latter was secretary, Mr.. Moore by
sheer merit and ability worked his
way up to the place of second assis-
tant secretary, and in that capacity
served under several administrations
without any political change. He re-
signed his place in the state depart
ment to accept the chair of interna-
tional law at Columbia about three
years ago, and it is believed that his
present appointment is only tempo
rary, owing to his indisposition to
sever permanently his connections
with Columbia. Mr.. Moore is an au-
thority on certain branches of inter-
national law, and his selection will do
much to strengthen the state depart
ment in the present emergency.

Naval officials smile. at sensational

Naval officials smile at sensational
done to our comm cree by Spanish
privateers. Instead of having any
fears on that score, they think that
we shall have SO many fast and for
midable auxiliary cruisers on the seas
that any Spanish privateer that gets
far from home will be extremely for
tunate if it escapes destruction or cap
ture by some of them. The Spanish
are not ignorant OF our preparation in
this line, and they are not likely to go
as extensively into the privateering
business in reality as our sensational
lists have made them go in magma
ton.

President Mckinley did no fretting

| President Mckinley did no fretting
| because Congress took a whole week
to act upon his message Of armed in
tervention in Cuba, while the general
expectation was that the business
would be done in two days at the out
side; he knows what responsibility is.
That the delay has been beneficial to
this government may be seen from
the following language, used by a
member of the Cabinet to an impa-
tient friend who was repeating the
argument used on all sides against
the apparent hardness both Of Con-
gress aud the President: sNobody
we were when Congress made the ap-
preparation Of $50, 100000. AS a mat
| ter of fact, there were not five rounds
of ammunition in fortified place in
| the country, and the ships did not
have ammunition enough to fight
anything. We were simply ready in
an amateurish manner. The Presi-
dent was shocked when he learned
the full facts. A knowledge Of the facts
had as much to do with making him
cautious as desire to avoid war. Had
this country been forced into war
three weeks ago, we might have got
ten the worst of things for a while. [

These words should be considered by
the hair trigger individuals who
blame the President for not rushing

THE RULES OF WAR.

The President has issued the follow
| ing proclamation respecting the rights
of Spanish vessels now in or bound to
United States ports, and also with
regard to the right ST search:
BY the President of the United States
of America proclamation:
Whereas, By an act of Congress ap-
proved April 25. 1898, it is declared
that war exists and that war has ex-
listed since the 21st day of April, A.
D. 1898, including said day, between
the United States of America and the
kingdom of Spain, and
Whereas, i1 being desirable that
such war should be conducted upon
principles in harmony with the pre-
sent views of nations and sanction by
recent practice, it has already been
announced that the policy of this
Government will be not to resort to
privateering, but to adhere to the
rules of the declaration of Paris.
''Now therefore, I, William McKin-
y L
America, by virtue of the power vest
ed in me by the constitution and the
laws, do hereby declare and proclaim.
First-The neutral flag covers en-
emy's goods with the exception of
contraband Of war.
Second-Neutral goods not contra
band of war are not liable to confsca-
ton under the enemy's flag.
Third-Blockades in order to be
binding must be effective.
Fourth-Spanish merchant vessels
in any ports or places within the U.
S. shall be allowed until May Fl, 1898,
inclusive, for loading their cargoes
and departing from such ports or
places; and such Spanish merchant
vessels if met at sea by any United
States ship, shall be permitted to con-
tinue their voyage if on examination
of their papers it shall appear that
their cargoes were taken on board
before the expiration of the above
term, provided that nothing herein
contained shall apply to Spanish yes
sells having on board any officers in
the military or naval service of the
enemy, or any coal except such as
may be necessary for their voyage) or
any other articles prohibited or con-
traband of war, or any despatch of or
to the Spanish Government.
Fifth-Any Spanish merchant yes
sci which prior to April 81, 1898, shall
have sailed from any foreign port
bound for any port or place in the
United States shall be permitted to
enter such port or place and discharge
her cargo and afterwards forthwith to
depart without molestation; and any
such vessel if met at sea by anyUnited
States ship shall be permitted to con-
tinue her voyage to any port not
blockaded.
Sixth-TEe right Of search is to be
exercised with strict regard for the
right of neutrals, and the voyages of
mail steamers are not to be interfered
with except on the clearest ground of
suspicion of a violation of law in re-
spect of contraband of blockade.
