Randall'S escape was remarkable. lie

on an adjoining building. At first it was
thought he was dead, but after treat

recover.
AS Mrs. Givison with her child on
her arms, was hurriedly leaving her
home, which was directly opposite the
laboratory, her dress caught fire from
flying ember and she and the child were
badly burned. Their recovery is doubt
full.
The explosion was so terrific that the
buildings adjoining each side of the
laboratory were completely demolished.
On both sides of the street for whole
square the explosion wrought destruc-
ton. Windows were broken. fixtures
were smashed and walls were cracked.
Fire added to the destruction in num-

ly extinguished before they did any con-

The money loss is estimated to be con-
siderably over 100000.

THE KAISER WAS OFFICIOUS.

Berlin. April 25.-The Geramn press
continues to maintain IL moderate tone
regarding the utterances of Captain
Coghlan. The Neueste Nachrichten and
the Frankfurter Xeitung confess that
''the American sailors had certain
amount of justification for irritation at
the presence of German mem of-war ut
Manila.
The Frankfurter Gazette suggests
that it was not the German Foreign
Office. but the Emperor VINO was re-
sponsible for the "officiousness Of the
German squadron"
The Kolnische Zeitung which has
lately published violent articles against
Great Britain and the United States,
acknowledges with great readiness the

ment in robbing Captain Coghlan's tact

Il do not mind adding" said the
speaker, that | am opposed to mob
violence under all circumstances. Those
guilty of crime should be surely, swiftly
and terribly punished; but by legal
methods. As rule the men guilty of
these outrages are ignorant individuals
who have had no opportunity to secure
an education and moral restraint.
