SEVEN WERE KILLED.
Explosion on Board = Torpedo Boat While
1t Was Making Trial Trip.

Astoria, Ore, Oct. 21.-The torpedo
boat Davis which started on its official
trial trip yesterday was disabled by
the bursting of number of boiler
tubes. Eight of the crew were badly
scalded and seven of them died soon
after reaching here. ,e
The accident occurred in the Column
bia river about 20 miles above this city.
The nature of the explosion has not
yet been made known, as an eXamina-
ton of the boilers will be required to
determine exactly what portion of the
boilers burst. sThe best theory OBJ
tahable is that some of the tubes in
the forward boiler exploded, owing to
a arrangement of the automatic water
guage which permitted the water to
get too low. Excepting for the havoc
naturally wrought in the boiler room
the boat is uninjured
The Davis was towed here by river
steamer. The Davis carried Al men all
told. She was one of two torpedo
boats recently built by Wolff & Dwick-
er at Portland and was soon to have
gone into commission. At the time
of the accident the boat was in charge
Of the official trial board. The officers
decline to make any statement as to

coined by Cheering Crowds.
Cincinnati, Oct. 22.-One continuous
ovation marked the passing of Presi-
dent Mckinley yesterday over the
states of Indiana and Ohio. Defying
the wind and rain, the citizens of these
states congregated in great numbers
at every station along the line and
never were they disappointed, for the
president appeared at every point
where crowds awaited his coming, to
speak a few words to his constituents
and receive their approving cheers.
Perhaps the most imposing demon
stration of the day was at Indian
apolis, where the streets through
which the president was driven to the
state house were jammed with cheer
ing people. Here, on the steps of the
state Capitol, almost within the
shadow of the statue of Thomas A.
Hendricks, the president delivered one
of the most eloquent addresses of his
western tour. In the course of it he
paid graceful tribute to the memory
of Hendricks and referred also to ex-
President Harrison.
The firing of cannon in honor of the
prudential visit at Kokomo, Ind, was

cinnati at 4:3O and was transferred in
the suburbs from the tracks of the
Cincinnati, Hamilton G. Dayton rail-
way to those of the Baltimore & Ohio
Southwestern. After the train was
transferred it backed into the Union
station, where the president bowed his
acknowledgements to the crowd in
waiting, but made no speech.
Columbus, O., Oct. 22.-The presi-
Dental train arrived at Columbus about
s: 30 p. m. Notwithstanding the heavy
rain, an immense crowd had assembled
ait the depot and the spacious building
resounded with cheers. A committee
of citizens met the president and, ac-
companied by an escort composed of
the Seventeenth United States in
fantry and the Columbus Rifles he was
driven to the Auditorium. Fully 1000
people were packed into the immense
hall and the presidents appearance
was greeted with deafening cheers.
The president spoke for about ten
minutes, his address being frequently
interrupted by applause. Secretaries
Gage and Wilson spoke briefly.
After short informal levee on the
stage, during which the president
shook hands with large number of
people, he returned to the train.

that Secretary Gage had discretion in
the award of the bonds and that the
intent of congress was that they
should go to individuals, to the ex-
