NATIONS UNITE.

France and Italy Agree Upon a Commercial
Treaty Which Removes Former Friction.
1t was quite unexpectedly announced
a few days ago that a commercial
treaty has been concluded between
France and Italy, granting mutually
favored treatment. except for SILK
goods, which will remain subject to
the maximum tax. A bill embodying
the agreement Will be submitted Inn
mediately to the Chamber of Deputies
The negotiations that have culmin-
ated In these arrangements have been
on foot for two years. but nobody be-
lteved that a definite agreement was
pending.
1t is believed that the Fashoda AFFAIR
was instrumental in inducing France
to grant the necessary concessions.
though 1t is noteworthy that the silk

the treaty In 1887. remain almost un-
changed. The negotiations have been
conducted with the utmost secrecy.
The exact effect of the concessions in

BOILER EXPLODES.
A California River Steamer Wrecked-Terribe
Agony Caused by Escaping steam-Engi-
neer's Wife Blown Through the Roof.

Six persons met awful death by the
explosion of a boiler on the river
steamer T. G. Walker at Fourteen
Mile Slough near Stockton, Cal. last
Sunday. Eleven men were dangerous
ly wounded
The dead are John Tulan. captain
OF the II. G. Walker: w. A. Blunt, the
beets from the Moss tract to the
Crockett factory: Watson Henry. of
Stockton, engineer of the T. G.. Walk
er; Mrs. Henry Watson. wife OF the
chief engineer: Jerry DAILY, fireman;

The screams of the men who were
locked I'm their rooms near the pilot
house were heartrending. Captain
John Tulan had been blown from his
bed against the door of the stateroom
and so seriously injured that he could
not move. He was virtually roasted
alive.

the pilot when the explosion occurred.
Mrs. Henry was blown through the
roof. The flooring was blown upward
and she was hurled with great vio-
lence a distance of 20 feet toward the
bow of the boat. She was horribly
crushed by the fury OF the explosion
and also badly scaided with escaping
steam. Her Injuries proved fatal She
retained her consciousness until a few
moments before her death. Her suf-
fering was so intense that she begged
the physicians In attendance to end
her life, but all that could be done was
to deaden the pain by the use of mar
cotics
Mr.. Henry was terribly scalded. He
was thrown some distance away. but
not so far as his wife. He died shortly
after being brought to the city.
Underneath the lower deck. where
the deckhands slept groans and
! screams were terrible. for the unfor-
tunate imprisoned men were receiving
the full force Of the steam as It came
from the boilers. Eight of them were
almost roasted alive. Those who were
| able made their way to the deck as
best they could. while the more seri-
| ously injured were unable to get out.
| Arms and faces of those near the main
| entrance were frightfully scalded.
What caused the explosion Will prob
ably never be known. The steam drum
| burst with terrible violence.

Vessels WRECKED N 4 Blizzard
MANY LIVES LOST.
The Storm Tears Ships From Their Moorings and
Dashes Them Against the Iron Piers.
Railroad Traffic Suffers.

A dozen or more coasting vessels
we're driven ashore i'm Boston harbor
during the blizzard last Sunday, and
the great ocean steamer Ohio. of the
Wilson line, was torn from her moor
ings and driven high and dry on Spec
tacle island. Schooners and coal
barges with two anchors out and every
reason to expect safe weathering OF
the gale were dragged from their
moorings and hurled against pier
heads, dashed on islands and rocks or
sunk outright.
The Ohio lies about a mile from the
place Of the Venetian wreck. Ashore
not far from the Ohio Is the schooner
q. A. White. from Baltimore. but she
will probably float. Just above Spec
tacle island is Thompsons island, and
on the beach are three down-east
lumbermen, the Waterman. Fred A.
Emerson. S. T.. Rappine and a vessel
believed to be the Virginia. The
schooners John s. Ames and Lizzie
Dyes are also ashore at Ft. Warren.
1t Is said two men were washed over
board from the Virginia.
Further out in the bay the casualties
began with the sinking of at least one
coal barge. II not two. and the loss of
the crew of four of each. The schooner
Abel T.. Babcock, from Philadelphia,
which came around Cape Cod and
anchored late In the day outside Of
Boston light, Is reported to have
foundered with her crew of seven men.
Two other coal barges are ashore at
Galloupes island.
All the captains of the fleet who
were lucky enough to round the Cape
and make the harbor in safety say
that the storm was the most terrible
that they ever experienced in Massa-
chusett's bay.

zard swept over the greater portion of

tion, while the northwest gale. coming
on a high course of tides, drove the
sea far beyond its usual limits and
made a mark along shore exceeded
| only by the memorable hurricane OF
1851.
Fortunately the storm was heralded
sufficiently in advance by the weather
bureau to detain most of the coastwise
shipping In safe harbors, but the
warning was entirely unheeded and
| ignored by those on shore, with the re-
| suit that nearly everyone. especially
| the railroads and electric companies.

| cordingly.
There was not a railroad in New

PHILIPPINE TRADE.
Until the Islands are Annexed the United States
viii Have No Special Prlviieses-state-
ment by Chairman Dingley.

Chairman Dingley of the ways and
means committee, In an interview the
other day, explained the term open
door policy" as APPLIED to the future
commerce of the Philippines In case
they should be acquired by the United
States.
THE phrase 'open-door policy which
Is now being talked about so much in
the newspapers" said Mr.. Dingley,
means simply equality Of treatment
and not free trade. As applied to the
dependency of country IL simply
countries are to be admitted on the
same terms as imports from the
mother country. AS applied to the
Philippines IL would mean that Inn
ports from Great Britain and all other
foreign countries are to be admitted
at the same rates Of duty as imports
from the United States.
"Of course, this policy could not be
applied to the Philippines II they
should be admitted into the anion with
territorial form of government. be-
cause the Constitution provides that
duties shall be uniform within the
United states, unless there should be
an amendment to the Constitution
permitting this.
whether II would be possible to ap-
ply this policy to the Philippines after
they should become part OF the terri
tory of the United states, under that
provision of the Constitution which
authorizes the congress to make need
full rufes and regulations respecting
the territory or other property of the
United States / am not prepared to
say. 1t Is noticeable. however. that In
the resolution providing for the an
nexation of Hawaii, passed at the last
session of congress. 1t was provided
that the Hawaiian tari6 should con-
tlnue In force until congress should
otherwise determine.
ut Is to be borne in mind. however.
that the present talk about an open
door policy for the Philippines Is in
tended to apply entirely to those is
lands while under n military admins
tratIon. which would be permissible.
and not to apply to those islands after
they have been formally recognized as
| part Of the United States.
