SAN FRANCISCO, Fen. by what is
known as the ''VToGIs. rool,' the manu-
facturers Of the eastern and western
hemispheres have been bound together
since August, 1897. in q trust which
controls absolutely the trade in explo-
sives. The affiliated companies have
divided the world into three parts-the
American capitalists have one part, the
Europeans another and the third is neu-
tral. In this pooling agreement are the
California powder makers. Ii order to
disrupt this trust the facts of the Or

TO NAVIGATE THE AIR.
Young Edison Experimenting With a,
Airship With Iuflatcd sails

Airship With Inflated Sails.
NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Thomas 4.
Edison, Jr,. is experimenting with an
airship, which he believes will be sue
cessful. The ship is the invention of
Frank Sauther of Milwaukee, but Ed
ison hit by accident upon a gas which
he believes is the only thing required to
make the ship a practical thing. Sails
were substituted instead of any pro.
pelling power. Mr.. Edison said: ''It
was at this point that I conceived the
really new principle. It struck NE that
it would be good idea to initiate the
sails with gas, thus making them serve
as balloons. as well as supplying the
sailing power. 1t would not do to make
baggy balloons of the sails, so they were
divided into numerous compartments,
which, when inflated, resemble thin
water bags. The gas tube running into
the balloon was tapped in three place.;
to supply gas to the mainsail and rubber
tubes carried gas to the two jibs. A
rudder completed the airship. After
many failures, we were successful. The
ship actually flew, and we succeeded in
steering it. I believe that the inflated
sail idea is the one that is going to
solve the aerial navigation problem"

EIGHT PERISH IN FIRE.
Big Hotel at Gloversville, n. ", Reduced
to Mass of Ruins.

Big Hotel at Gloversville, N. ", Reduced
to a Mass of Ruins.
GLovERsvILLE, N. Y, Feb. 2.-The
Alvord house. a 5-story brick structure,
the largest hotel in the city, was de-
stroyed by fire this morning. Five
lives were lost. The list follows: Henry
y. Day OF Gloversville, Bellboy Rupert,
q. f. Kimball, wife and daughter Of
indianapolis, Ind. The loss to the prop
erty will reach $lO0,OOO
The fire started on the ground floor
and shot up through the upper stories
with lightning g-like speed, the broad
stairs and Railways furnishing great
f1ues, which carried the flames upward
Almost Immediately after the flames
We're discovered, the alarm was sounded
through the house and the big hotel
was soon the scene of the widest con-
fusion. There was wild scramble on
the part of the guests to escape from
the building with their personal prop
erty, but many were forced to flee with
out saving anything A few of the
guests made their escape by the stair
ways, but the smoke soon cut off this
retreat. The next resort of the impris-
oned people was the windows. AS their
terror stricken faces appeared, the great
crowd below watched breathlessly,
hoping against hope that all would be
saved. The guests who were thus en-
trapped did not long hesitate to take
the risk of jumping, though some were
rescued from their perilous positions by
the firemen. Others leaped from the
windows, several being more or less in
jured
1t now seems that at least eight lives
We're lost, as no trace can be found of
two men who arrived late last night.
Benjamin +. Strickland, contractor and
builder, who resided at the Alvord
hotel, is also missing.

Heavy Pack Ice Surrounds the Coast of
Newfoundland.
New YORK, Feb. 1.-The Red Gross
line steamship Portia arrived today,
four days overdue, from St. Johns, N.
F., and Halifax, after a desperate en-
counter with pack ice off the New
Foundland coast. and with a harrow
ing tale of blizzards there and destitu-
tion in the coast section of that country.
Hundreds Of men, women and chill
dren dead or dying from exposure and
starvation, with abundance close by,
and hundreds more threatened with a
like fate, are the brief details of the
condition Of affairs brought by the
Portia.
Four days the Portia was penned in
huge arctic foes in plain sight of St.
Johns unable to move. She managed
to escape by the merest accident. Many
other craft, several of them relief YES
sells, sent by the Canadian government
to succor destitute fishermen, had to
abandon their errands of mercy and re-
turn to St. Johns, where they were

1H1rU WICK Oh Tic TeXt1Ie Strike.
New BEDFORD, Mass, Feb. 1.-The
third week of the big strike of the New
Bedford cotton mill employees began
with affairs in relatively the same posi-
ton as at the outset. It is thought the
exodus of the mill hands will continue
this week. Hundreds have already left
town. The manufacturers have not
yet made any statement as to their fu-
ture policy. 1t is the general opinion
that they will not make any effort to
start the mills for some time. The mill
hands are apparently as determined as
ever to resist the reduction, and some
of them predict that the strike will last
well into the summer.
