TOULON IN MOURNING.
French Naval Magazine Blown Up
 With Awful Results.

The naval powder magazine between Le Seyne and Toulon. in the depart ment of Var, southern France. ex- ploded Sunday. All of the soldiers on duty at the magazine were killed. and a number of inhabitants of the sur rounding district also fell victims. Fif- ty corpses have already been recovered. Fifty thousand Kilograms of black pow der exploded. It looks as though a volcanic eruption had occurred. the country being swept almost bare with in radius of two miles. houses de- stroyed, trees overturned and distorted. fields devastated and covered with stones and impalpable black dust.
 All the bodies found or recovered are terribly mutilated. Sixteen were found in the rocks near the shore. and it is feared that others were precipitated in- to the sea. ..
 Telegrams from Nice say the explo- sion was distinctly felt there.
 Both the government and the mu- nicipaI authorities are forwarding re- lief funds. NJ. Lockroy, minister of ma rine, has telegraphed 10000 francs (about s2,oo0) toward the maintenance of the families of the victims. and a public subscription has been opened here.
 It Is rumored that one of the soldiers who perished in the explosion of the powder magazine had for long time past been the victim of systematic per secution upon the part of corporal and had vowed to be revenged. It is added that this man is suspected of having blown up the magazine.

CLOSE OF CONGRESS-.
ALI THE IMPORTANT BILLS PASSED
 BEFORE ADJOURNMENT.

Naval Promotions Confirmed, Lesv-
 Sampson Barrow.' Nomination
 Fsil.-some of the Hills.
 The end of the Fifty-ffth congress came Saturday at noon rather un- eventually, the legislative storms of the preceding night having all subsided in the hours just before daybreak. AS was almost inevitable, Mir. Warren's filibuster against the river and harbor conference report proved unavailing. and after securing the slight concession of a reopening of the case for irrigation reservoirs in the conference committee he yielded his contention and let sec ond report. identically the same as the first. pass without opposition.
 The only other serious obstacles to complete agreement between the two houses were the Pacific cable amend ment in the sundry civil appropriation bin and the maximum price for armor plate fixed by the senate in the naval bill. Negotiations smoothed out both difficulties. the senate yielding its wish to have a Pacific cable laid under gov ernment supervision and through gov ernment aid and the house retresting so far on the armor plate question as to agree that no armor for the battleships be contracted for at more than $500 a ton. To finish the battleships already authorized and partially completed the secretary of the navy Is to be allowed to pay s400 ton. The project of es- tablishing a government armor plate plant was dropped from the. bill en- tirely
 By o'clock Saturday morning the work of the two houses was practically finished. and in the senate at least some time could be spared for the considera- ton of the executive calendar. The great mass of naval nominations sent in Friday was disposed of, but the re- cess appointments advancing Rear Ad- mirals Schley and Sampson for meri- torious service in the Santiago cam paign failed with the session, leaving Schley still two numbers ahead of Sampson on the naval roster. The nom- ination of ex-Representative Samuel June Barrows to be librarian of con- gress also failed after decided opposi- ton to confirmation had been displayed by leading senators.
 The closing ceremonies in the senate were brief and formal. E....
 The CiOSlHB scenes III the HouSe VI representatives were unusually inter- esting. and that which followed the words of the speaker declaring the house adjourned sine die was marked by enthusiasm and dramatic features which were probably without precedent in the history of congress.
 All the important bills before congress were passed before adjournment. Among them were the navy personnel bill. the Notifications bill. the army and navy appropriation bills, the river and harbor bill. many public building bills includ- ing that for a new custom house at New York. and the bill appropriating s20. 0.000.- 900 to pay Spain according to the pro- vision of the peace treaty. Most of these measures have been signed by the president.
 Under the navy personnel bill all the commodores were advanced to the rank of rear admiral. the former rank hav- ing been abolished.

Nebraska Republicans Nominate NJ.
 L.. Hayward For Senator.

l.. Hayward For Senator.
 Lincoln, Neb., March s.-The most stubborn senatorial contest in the histo- ry of Nebraska ended abruptly last night. when Judge Monroe L. Hayward or Nebraska City was nominated in the Republican caucus as the successor of w. V. Allen, Populist. r
 Judge Hayward's selection in the cau- GUS came on the second ballot. It fol- lowed a brief note of withdrawal sent to the caucus by John L. Webster of Omaha, which released his supporters, who immediately began changing their votes to Hayward. In the midst of the uproar Speaker Clark moved that Judge Hayward be made the unanimous choice of the caucus. and it carried with a cheer.
 Judge Hayward has been urged as the logical Republican candidate since the election in November decided the polit- ical complexion of the legislature. As the Republican nominee for governor he made an exceptionally strong canvass. reducing the Fusion majority in the state materially. He has led in strength since the legislative balloting began, but was handicapped until recently by the hostility to caucus and by the fact that he had a united field against him. The contest closed without bitterness. Hayward's leading opponents joining in congratulating him.

SAMOAN QUESTION.
Germnny's New Consul Expected to
 Confer With Secretary Hay.

Washington. March S.-Herr Salf. the newly appointed consul of Germany to Samoa, who will by virtue of his office be president of the municipal council, will go to Samoa by way of the United States, and. 1t is expected, confer with Secretary Hay en route.
 Herr Salf will succeed pr. Raffel, the German consul at Apia. who is charged with having caused the trouble there in January. It was the intention of the German government to recall pr. Raf- fel several weeks ago. but as he was in contempt of court he was not per- mitted to leave the island. The United States and Great Britain through their representatives agreed that if the Ger man government would recall pr. Raf- fel immediately the contempt of court proceedings would not be pressed. This pledge was given by Germany, and Dr. Raffel was expected to leave Apia on Feb. 22.
 This action on the part of the Ger man government is interpreted as an admission that pr. Raffel exceeded his authority and that Germany disavows his acts. It is also construed as mean ing that Germany Is doing everything possible to remain on good terms with the United States

ADMIRAL SCHLEY DETACHED
His Health Impaired by Service In
 the Late War.

the Late War.
 Admiral Schley is now detached by request made by himself, his health being so impaired by service during the war as to make rest seem imperative. He could take command Of a squadron, however. if it were necessary. and it has always been agreeable to him to serve at sea rather than on shore. In- timations have been made from time to time that he was to be given the Euro pean station as soon as 1t was consid cred expedient to reorganize that squadron. IL is possible that when the maneuvers of the north Atlantic squad ron are ended some of the ships of that squadron will be detached to become the units of the squadron on the Euro pean station.
 Rear Admiral Schley has intimated, it is understood, that he would like to have that command before he reaches the retiring age. Unless the secretary of the navy and the bureau of naviga- ton are willing to grant his desire or unless the president commands that he be assigned to the European station it Is believed by many naval officers that he will retire before he has enjoyed the coveted honor. His last tour at sea be- gan only last March. He has not yet served q year under that assignment.
