Plant of Thirty-six Buildings Is
Completely Destroyed.
SCORES OF EXPLOSIONS
ROOFS OF BUILDINGS ARE SHOT
INTO THE AIR.
Workmen Escape, But Flying Rock
cts Make 1t as Dangerous For
Them Outside as Inside Build
ings-Grand Sight of Burning Ro-
man Candles and Bolts of Fire.

New York, June S.-Thirty-six build
ings, comprising almost the entire
plant of the Nordlinger- Charlton Fire
works company at Graniteville, Rich
mond borough, were blown up this af-
ternoon and the entire fireworks plant
practically wiped out of existence. AL
though the fires which followed the ex-
plosion lasted for several hours, the
wreck was complete within few min
utes. No lives were lost, and but three
persons were injured. two of them SER
iously. The property loss will not eX-
coed s35, 900.
The first explosion occurred in The
rocket-charging ROOM This was a
small building about twelve feet
square No one was in the building at
the time. and the first intimation the
Ill employees in the works had of what
was to follow was the bursting of the
sides of the building, accompanied by
shot into the air, and rockets exploded
and flew in all directions. They car
ried the fire into all parts Of the works.
The operators in the various build
ings rushed out into the yards. The
flying rockets, many of them of the
greatest power, made it almost as
dangerous for the employees to be out
of the buildings as to be in them. AS
they rushed out, explosion followed ex-
plosion as the buildings flew into the
air.
After a score of explosions, three
heavy ones occurred that shook the
ground for miles around. These were
the three storehouses in which sup
plies for the Fourth of July were be-
ing held. Through flying rockets,
burning Roman candles and balls of
fire, the employees rushed to safety.

Violent Scenes In the Chamber of
Deputies Yesterday, When the

Fears of Another Demonstration
at Anteuil Next Sunday.

Paris, June S.-Slight riots occurred
this evening between the revisionists
and anti-revisionists after a meeting
addressed by NJ. Francis de Presence
of the Temps, in the Clichy district OF
Paris. There were several fights be-
tween rioters and police, who charged
the populace. Finally the revisionists
made a movement toward the residence
of NJ Zola with the object of demon
strating. but the police interfered. Sew
eral revolver shots were fired during
the disturbance. and twenty persons
were placed under arrest.
In the Hobbies of the chamber OF dep

NJ Dupuy presided at the cabinet
council today when the measures TO be
taken were considered.
1t is announced that the government
has decided not to allow any of the gem
erals who are mixed ~ in the Dreyfus
affair to take part in the review at
Longchamps on July IA. The refusal of
the government to allow. NJ. Joseph
Lasces, anti-Semite and anti-revision-
list deputy for Gers, to interpellate on
the Dreyfus affair, led to a renewal OF
violent scenes in the chamber today.
His motion was finally shelved by an
overwhelming majority.
There are increasing indications that
there will be violent scenes at Long
champs on Sunday. as various parties
are expressing a determination to DEM
onstrate. The cabinet has determined
to take very severe measures to pre-
vent disorder. All the available police
forces will be modified, and the police
will be ordered to arrest every one ut
tering cries against the president or the
government, either in the streets of
Paris or on the race course at Long

vans will be sent there in advance to
convey the arrested people.

WHEN PLOT WAS MATCHED.
Desperadoes Have Been In Mountains

Vernal. June 6.-It is believed here
that the plans of the Union Pacific rob-
bers We're formulated on this side of
the line, as there have been persistent
rumors' Tor the last three weeks that
Butch Cassidy, Else Lay and
Wright, the supposed perpetrator of the
Pelican Point murders, were in the Vi
cinity of the old Powder springs rem
devious.
Although the local officers have kept
very quiet, it is known that Sheriff
Preece has been keeping a close watch
on the north country, and has spent
several days on one occasion in the
mountains between here and the Union
Pacific.
In days gone by the Robbers Roost'
in the Henry mountains, and on the
San Rafael in Emery county, Powder
Springs near the lines of Utah, Colo
RADIO and Wyoming, and the "Hole-in-
the-Wall' to the north, have formed
the links in a chain of crime that for
persistent and successful operations IS
almost unparalleled in the history of
the west.
The determination of the people of
this section of the state to break up
the operations around Powder Springs
after the killing of Willie Strong and
Valentine Hoy, year ago, led to the
temporary abandonment of the rendez-
VouS.
Liant and Tracy, the slayers of Hoy,
were reported at the old place after
their escape from the Colorado author
tiles at Aspen, but their stay was
short, as they We're next heard of in
Montana. where Tracy is said to be

serene on this end of the line, and the

their leisure moments elsewhere until
very recently, when word came to town
that a we'll known member of the old
crowd had been sighted in the vicinity.

CALIFORNIA COLLIES.
Wonderful Work Done by Dogs on
Big Western Sheep Ranches.

Nothing in my whole western trip
! interested me more" said a dlstin-
guished traveller the other day, than
the work l saw done on a large sheep
ranch in California by half dozen or
more collies. According TO my host,
eact one of them saved him a 5000 so
a month in wages, did his work far bet
ter than any two men could do it, while
his board would not average tenth
of what it would cost to keep a man.
The ranch which l visited extended
over thousands of acres, while my
friend enclosed in his corral each night
no fewer than 10000 sheep The corral
is simply a large enclosure surrounded
by a solid. high brick wall. Into this
the sheep are driven at night to pro-
tect them from the wolves, which, in
California, would make short work of
flocks left out on the open plain, or
insecurity housed.
Arriving at the ranch just at night
fall, 1 had the opportunity of seeing
the dogs conduct their various fiOckS
into the fold, and expressed great sur
prise at their wonderful cleverness and
skill.
''Oh, but this is the least part of it,
said my host. You should see the in-
telligent creatures go about their morn
ing's work. In that they really show
more than ordinary human insight. 1t
would be we'll worth your morning nap
for once to watch them
Accordingly. at early dawn the next
morning l arose, and as l stood gazing
SpellbOund at the breadth of the sky
line, and the illimitable eXpanse of the
plains, my attention was called to the
business of the day by the friendly
barking of the collies. They had just
finished their breakfast, and were max
ing their way to the corral, the gates OF
which stood open In thew bounded
amongst the promiScuOus assembly OF
sheep, and then each began to single
out his own especial flock; for, with
these thousands of animals like one
another as so many peas. each collie
comes, in some subtle way, to know
which ot them are under his especial
care. BY a system of running, scent
ing. pushing, crowding and elbowing.
he finally gets his own flock sorted out,
and starts them for their particular
pasture. Here he watches them
through the long day, nOt allowing one
to stray. and at exactly the same hour
each night marshals them back to the
corral.
The only point in which they lack

that they do not see n to know when
their flocks should be taken to new
pastures. After grazing over rive or
six hundred acres for 4 few months.
the grass is exhausted. and .he sheep
need TO be conducted to fresh meadows.
That part of the work falls to me, and
is practically all that 1 do. 1 select the
new grazing ground, and conduct the
shepherd and his flock there for the
first time. After that he understands.
l keep practically no help besides the
dogs, and with all my 10000 sheep, can
not complain of being OverwOrked.

Austin, Tex. June S.-The cloudburst
of yesterday, which swelled the rivers
of this portion of the state out of their
banks and caused a great loss of prop
erty, was much worse than reported
last night Many people are reported TO
have persisted, meager reports tonight
placing the number at twenty-five.
Today reports came from San Suba
and Manardviile, small towns ninety
miles north of here in the mountains,
saying that both towns had been swept
by the raging floods. and were badly
devastated. In san Suha eight people
were drowned, and the entire town is
reported under water tonight. The river
at that point is one mile wide and run
ming like a Inillrace.
At Manardville thirteen houses We're
swept away, and this morning several
more gave in to the swirling torrent
and started on their voyage down the
stream
The river is reported as rising at
other places, and grave fears are en-
tertained that the entire country in
that neighbOrhood win be laid waste.
San Saba is located in a valley and
vast tracts of wheat fields are under
water. These crops will prove total
loss.

INDULGE IN WAR TALK.
London Papers Look Upon the Matter
In Serious Light.

are beginning to talk seriously of the
possibility of war in South Africa Mr..

colonies, in his speech in the house of
commons yesterday, announced this his
reply to the petition of the Uitlanders,
which had been held back pending the
result of the conference at Bloemfon-
TEN, would now be presented to the
Transvaal
This reply is semi-officially described
as explicit. but conciiiatory," but it is
believed to be in the nature of a practi-
cal ultimatum. The resources of diplo-
macy are regarded as exhausted with
the failure of the conference Nothing
is left, it is felt, but recourse to force.
