Since John Kensit's anti-rituallstic
cursade, churchmen have been awaiting
anxiously for the utterance OF the arch
bishop Of Canterbury on the grave ques-
tions raised, which have agitated the
whole body Of churchmen, In series
OF charges OF the Clergy, delivered this
week. the primate spoke in no uncertain
voice. He caused a profound impression
In high circles and deeply aggrieved the
low church party. The primate declared
plainly that the doctrine Of the real
presence, as embodied particularly in
the doctrine OF consubstantiation is per.
mltted, though not expressly taught by
the church OF England that. although
compulsory confession Is absolutely H.
legal, voluntary confession is legal and
no clergyman is justified in refusing TO
hear it, and, he commended prayers for
the dead, but forbade invocation of the
saints or the virgin. He declared the
elevation and preservation of the sacra.
ment and use of incense are not permis-
sable, but he approved a certain revival
of the ritual In connection with the
prescriptions of the prayer book. Practi-
cally, the primate sanctions all the doc
trines and practices which the low
chuchmen have so vehemently con-
demned and tho high churchmen are
proportionally elated. Though they
disagree with some points, most of the
clergy will fall into line with the prl-
mates charges or lnjunctons,

EXPLOSION.

WILMINGTON, Del, Dec. 9-An ex
plosion occurred this morning at the
Dupont Powder Works near this city.
Several mills are reported to have been
blown up. This city was shaken as if
by an earthquake.
The explosion occurred in the six
powder mills in the lower yard of the
works. Two men are known to have
been killed. Six others were badly in
iured, three of whom will die. Will.
mington physicians have gone to the
scene of the disaster.
1t appears two horses attached to a
car with 100 pounds of powder from the
gringing mill for the press room ran
away. The car upset and the powder
exploded. Two men saw the car tilt
and fearing an explosion rushed from
the grinding mill. The conclusion
caused the grinding mill with 1000
pounds OF powder to explode. Their
bodies were blown to pieces. The other
mills exploded two seconds later, and
the six men in the rolling mills were
Injured. The powder mills are situated
three miles from the centre of the city
but houses were shaken as if by earth
quake. Several residences have been
badly damaged in the neighborhood.
The employees wives and children rusn-
ed to the mills to learn OF their relatives
safety. The Duponts will take care OF
the families of the decease and injured
and will pension their widows for life.

ASKED FOR PAYMENT.

An urgent demand has been made on
the comptroller of the currency for 3d.
600, due the Commonwealth ofVirginia
for money advanced during the Span
ish war.
The com ptroller was informed that
there was so much delay in equipping
the Virginia troops with shoes and un-
der.clothing that President Mckinley
authorized Governor Tyler to make
certain purchases, promising him that
the federal government would refund
whatever money might be paid out.
Acting upon the authority OF the Presi'
dent, Governor Tyler had Colonel Cou'-
ling to make contracts aggregating 49,
900. The money Was paid out of the
State treasury and the comptroller de
clioes to refund it, on the ground
that he holds more than half a million
dollars worth OF Virginia bonds which
should have been paid long ago.
In the letter of the Virginia officials
they say not to pay this claim would
be great outrage; that the federal
government was so slow in equipping
troops that the governor, as favor to
the President and the War Department,
had them clothed, and that be may be
held personally responsible for this
money by the legislature unless it is re
funded.
The officials furnish the comptroller
with brief history of Virginia claims
against the government which more
than offset the value of the bonds.

RESIGNED TO HER FATE.

The Madrid Impartial says the
Spanish government on Wednesday de-
cided to telegraph to Senior Montero
Rios, president of the Spanish peace
commission at Paris, instructing him to
again protest against President McKin-
Lewis reference to the Maine in his re.
cent message to Congress. Continuing,
the Impartial says there is great indig.
nation at the American commissioners
rejection of Senior Ross request for q
neutral investigation into the cause OF
the loss of the Maine. Spaniards say
it is adding insult to injury, and taking
unfair advantage of circumstances to
deny justice to nation which is I'M
able to resent such 9 course.
A semi-official note, just issued, says:
"Spain has been treated by the con-
aueror with unexampled cruelty, and
is resigned to her fate. But she can
not tolerate President McKinley's &C
cusatiop, for she is conscious OF her
complete innocence.
ut is understood that the govern
ment has decided to end the Paris con.
ference on the ground that the discus.
sion of secondary questions is impossi,

A majority of the newspapers favor
