General Washington signified his ap-

Samuel Washington entered the rev.

bravery and sound Judgment. Twelve
autograph letters are extant from
General Washington TO him. dated be-
tween 1916 and 1881. some from Mt
Vernon and others written on the field
of battle All OF these letters express
the utmost intimacy. and In several
of them General Washington gives
proof of the confidence he felt in his
brother by divulging his private views
Of various important public matters.
But the success Of the gallant colonel
in war and politics was DIS naught

sixteen years before he was made pres

FOUND HIS WAY HOME.
Lonely Dog Travels Over Five Hundred

Did you ever hear of dog travel

Gently to a New York Telegram repor-
ter, without companion? Well,
heard Col. Tee Carpenter tell of Won
derful hound of mis-. He says that some
years ago he sold hound TO gentle
man of Corinth, Miss. The dog broke
away from the eXpressman OF the
train when in northern Mississippi and
was not heard OF for some time. The
Mississippi gentleman wrote to Carpen-
ter and asked what was the reason the
dog had not been sent CARPENTER
looked the matter up and found that
the dog had jumped out of the express
car while the train was running at full
speed. About six weeks afterward the
hound showed up at Carpenters house
In Lincoln county. He had come home
alone, being guided by that peculiar
instinct with which dumb animals are
gifted. He had travelled fully 800
miles. The dog was never of any value
thereafter and he was completely pros
trated by the trip. He looked like a
skeleton when he got back TO Ken
lucky and could never afterward run
fast enough to keep up with Carpen-
ter's other fox hounds

The Sensitivenrss OF Tobacco Plants.
Experts have been computing the
acreage and peculiarities of tobacco
plants. 1t is found that they are ex-
tremely sensitive TO meteorolgical in
tiuences; so much so. indeed, that they
will not grow in certain localities on
the island or in the immediate yicjp-
ity of the ocean. The most careful re.
search has failed to detect a cause for
this. and as all plans and methods
have been tried to give them strength
and vitality, the conclusion is reached
that there are laws and forces operat-
ing here that battle our understanding.
The acreage OF tobacco has. however.
been largely increased within the past
ten years. and as crop it has become
enormously valuable

Terrific Explosions mt the I.anin-itnnd
Powder Mills XIII Eleven Out
right md Wound Many.

New York. July 1.-TWO explosions
which killed eleven men, wounded
20 Others and wrecked two buildings,
occurred at the plant OF the Laflin-Rand
powder works, at Pompton, N. j., Tues
day. The first explosion was in the
house where the gun-cotton was being
made, and the second. presumably SUI
perinduced by concussion, was in the
drying house, close by.
Three men were in the mixing room
when the explosion occurred, and they
were blown to atoms. Chief Engineer
Craig, who was in the engine-room, had
his head crushed 10 n jelly in the wreck
age OF the boiler house, the side OF
which was blown ont. John Phillips
was standing near a tree some distance
from the mixing house. His head was
blown from his body and was picked up
so feet away. His body was frightfully
torn by the force of the explosion. and
his clothes were whipped from his body
The foreman OF the drying-room was
also blown TO pieces and number OF
Italians. who were digging trench
In the rear of the building, were killed.
The first explosion was at about hall
past ten o'clock. Before the noise and
roar of II died away, there was a sec
ond, louder and more terrific than
the first. The roar was heard TOT
miles and the conclusion broke win
dows in all directions. The explosion
was followed by fire which threat
ened TO spread to the other buildings
of the plant in which tons OF high eN
plosiyes were stored.

SPAIN MUST MOVE FIRST.
The Report That overtures Looking
40 Peace In Again Denied
from Washington.

Washington, July l3.-Although the
statement has been repeated day after
day that no overtures have yet been
made to our government for peace 1T
may bear repetition once more In view
of the express denial given at the
state department to SO much of the
stories emanating from European
sources as seek TO create the impress
sion that the United States govern
ment or any of it's representatives so
far has made any move in this direc-
ton. The fact is to-day as IL has been:
the first oyertures in the direction of
peace must come from Spain. directly
or Indirectly.
Madrid, July 10. - The possibility of
peace with the United States is being
widely discussed in the newspapers
and by the public. The conservative
papers declare Spain is prepared to
accept peace, provided II implies only
the loss of Cuba. But, they assert,
Spain would prefer war routrance
. IL the United States should claim
Puerto Rico, the Philippine islands or
an immense indemnity which it would
be impossible for Spain 10 pay.
The public connects the recent con-
| ference between Duke Almodovar de
Rio, the Spanish minister of foreign
affairs, and the French Ambassador
here, NJ. Patenotre, with the report
that the French ambassador at Wash
ington, NJ. Cambon, has been instruct
ed TO ascertain the lightest conditions
upon which peace is obtainable.
London, July 13.-The Madrid cor
respondent of the Mail says; Senior
Sagasta. being asked rs TO whether q
decision had been made regarding
peace, replied: "No; but what rem
