NEWS OF The WhALERS
BROUGHT BY THE THIRD MATE
OF STEAMER ORCA
A Remarkable Arctic Trip Which
May Hasten the Relief of the
Ice-Bound Crews

SEATTLE, Wash, April T.-Charles H.
Walker, third mate of the steam whaler
Orca, arrived here today after one of the
most remarkable trips on record. He left
Point Barrow, Alaska, the first Of last No
vember with two Indians and dog team
and followed the shore line of the Arctic
ocean to the mouth of the Mckenzie river
which he assembled, coming into civilization
at Edmonton.
Mr. Walker brings advices from the ice
imprisoned whaling fleet one month later
than c. f. Tilton, who came out by way
of st. Michael, arriving here several days
ago. Mn Walker brings an appeal from,
the captains of the whalers at Point Bar.
rows to the Pacific Coast Steam Whaling
company to use every effort to get supplies
to them by the first Of July. They knew
uothing of the government expedition nov
on its way. There are, Mr.. Walker says
1856 people at Point Barrow, who, by living
ON short rations, will have enough supplies
to last them until the first of July. The
whalers east Of Point Barrow are in better
circumstances Besides having plenty OF
provisions, they have a large stock al
Herschel island to draw on.
Mr.. Walker confirms the report of the
loss of the Orca and the burning Of the
Freeman.
All the vessels east of Point Barrow are
safely anchored.
The Fearless and the Newport are situ-
ated ninety-f1ve miles east of Point Bar
row, off Toncent point. The tender Genie
is still further east, at Pitt point. The
Belvidere is at Sea Horse rapids. The
Norwhal, Blutys, Grampus, Bealema, are
at Bailey island.
From the mouth of the Mckenzie river to
Edmonton, Mr.. Walkers trip was without
special interest, but he had very hard
trip from Point Barrow to the mouth of the
river. Owing to the scarcity of provisions
at Point Barrow he started out with but q
small amount, trusting to the chance of
killing sufficient meat on the road. For
three days previous to reaching Herschel
island he was practically without food.

EXPLOSION OF CEREAL DUS1
.ssociated Press Special Wire

Associated Press Special Wire
BOSTON, April 1.-THE roof OF the
grain elevator at Hoosac tunnel docks IN
Charlestown was blown completely on by
dust explosion at o'clock this morning.
The fire that followed not only destroyed
the remaining portion Of the immense
structure, but consumed nearly the entire
contents, over 100000 bushels Of grain,
mostly wheat The steamer Cambroman,
which had just finished loading at the
dock, was towed out, but some of the
small tenements adjoining and building
used as a distillery by Chaplin & Trull
were damaged by debris from the roof.
THE loss is estimated at nearly $5Oo,ooo,
well covered by insurance. The explosion
not only shook up the entire city OF
Charlestown, but was noticeable in the
city proper and many Of the suburbs
Three-quarters of the fire department, in
Guiding the two horseless engines and the
fireboats, were soon massed in the immedi-
ate vicinity. When the first firemen arrived
they found some of the streets impossible
for portions of the roof were In every d.
rection. Great timbers had been blown a
hundred feet in the air by the force Of the
explosion and many of the upper stories
of neighboring houses were crushed by
the great beams. The fire burned fiercely
for nearly four hours. When it was ex-
tinguished there was only shell Of the
structure left, while bursting from every
side were tons and tons Of grain. Much of
this fell through the pier, while practically
the whole was so thoroughly soaked with
water that the loss was complete. The
grain was valued at about $500 900 and the
loss on the structure Is about 100000. The
damage to other property is about $50, 900.
1t is supposed that either dust or hot
air caused the explosion, which was fol-
lowed by a volcano of flame. A rain of
sparks and burning brands descended upon
the navy yard adjoining and upon the
United States vessels there. Commandant
Howison and the commanders of the En-
terprise and the Lancaster, which, with
the receiving ship Wabash, are afloat, and

quarters and the sailors hurried to their

In the yard the marine guard was called
out and placed to protect the property OF
the United States. Every electric light in
the vicinity was extinguished by the shock
of the explosion.
