Heavy Charges Were Used, But Lit
tie Damage Was Done
| New York, July 10, a. Must before
2 O'Clock this morning there were two
terrific explosions in South Brooklyn at
Fifth avenue and Thirty-fifth street. 1t
was found that dynamite or some other
high explosive had been placed against
the base of pillars OF the Fifth avenue ele-
waited road at that point. The dynamite
had been put beside pillars ON opposite
sides of the street and the explosions were
almost simultaneous The force of the ex-
plosions was such that windows in nearby
houses were blown in. Word was I'M
mediately sent from the power house at
( Thirty sixth street 10 Brooklyn police
headquarters The reserves were called
out and few minutes later a hundred
policemen were on their way to the scene.
The spot where the explosion occurred is
dark and lonesome one. Detectives who
arrived soon afterwards saw no traces Of
anyone. II is thought from the force Of
the explosions and the quantity of dynn-
mite used that electricity was employed
in making the discharge. The concrete at
the base of the pillar was blown out but
the foundation was not disturbed and the
pillar itself was uninjured. The East side
pillar did not fare so we'll The concrete
was blown away and the pillar itself was
curled up at tho bottom Ike sheet OF

at 1 30 a. m. At the power house 1t was
said that the West side track was not
affected and it was hoped to repair the
East side track before daylight, AS soon
IS news of the explosion was received,

continued as IT was unknown whether

NO DEFINITE ACTION
TAKEN ON PLATFORM
Matter Is to Be Left to Another
Meeting of Committee.

st. Louis. May 25.-When the confer
ence of members of the Democratic ma
tional committee adjourned this after
noon at $50 o'clock, it had taken no
action regarding the policy of the party
in the coming presidential campaign,
and no plans for the platform We're
even discussed. The meeting. from first
to last. was one of discussion regard
ing methods of work of next year and
the ways and means by which this
work could best be accomplished. All
members were urged to see that the
organization of the party in their re-
spective states is perfected as soon as
possible, and all preparations made for
the fight.
The matters of ;'anti-trust.' anti
Imperialism and silver were not
touched upon. No action was taken
regarding them. and no recommends
lions were made. The next meeting OF
the conference will probably be held in
Chicago on July 20. and Chairman
Jones of the national committee has
been asked to call formal meeting for
that date 1t is expected that at this
meeting definite action will be taken,
and the question of what is to be the
rallying cry of the Democracy in the
fall of 1900 will be determined.

who sat in the 81 plate banquet given

The banquet tonight was the culmin-
alton of conferences, meetings and eau
cuseS, held in half a dozen hotels. dur
ing the day. Twenty-three members of
the national Democratic committee held
an all-day conference, in which William
]. Bryan sat as a proxy for Committee
man Wood of South Dakota The con-
ference decided that regular meeting
of the full committee should be held at
an early date. 1t was decided to cable
Senator Jones, chairman of the COM
mittee, who is on sick leave in Europe,
to call meeting of the committee. to
be held in Chicago July 20. At that
meeting the Democratic end of the cam
paign of 1900 will be.put in motion.
No Forecast Made.
An attempt was made by McRae of
Arkansas to have the conference issue
manifesto which would serve TO indi-
cate what the committee believed the
dominant issue will De next year. but
the effort was futile. The Democratic
leaders whisper what they fear to speak
out loud, that free silver will not be the
leading campaign cry. although it will
be an important plank in the Demo-
cratic platform of 1900. The. eastern,
southeastern, central and northwestern
states Democrats believe the party will
win on the antitrust" plank.
The developments today seem to indi
cate concluSively that William ]. Bryan
will be the party nominee for president;
that the Chicago platform Will be re-
affirmed. with possible modification OF
the financial plank; that the next Dem
ocratic national convention Will adopt
three new planks:
Three New Planks.
Declaring for the election of United
States senators by the direct vote of the
people.
Declaring against trusts.
Declaring against territorial eXpan-
sion.

Stone of Missouri. O. H. p. Belmont of
New York, Urey Woodson of Kentucky.

Altgeld of Illinois predict that these
planks will go into the platform.

Gratis will reaffirm the free silver 10 to 1
plank, but he admitted there is a pos

Lieutenant Webb's Promotion.

Lieutenant Webb's Promotion.
Lieutenant Webb is busy at present
taking his examinations for commits
sion in the regular army, and every
member of the Utah organization is
delighted to see the lieutenant secure
this appointment. As / have said be-
fore, the lieutenant has proven himself
to be a natural born soldier, and he
wisely made up his mind to adopt the
army as a life vocation. 1t is thought
that he will secure permission to come
home with the batteries and then be
attached to some organization serving
in the United States. He has been suf-
fering for a long time from dysentery
but has refused to leave his post and
go to the hospital.
The boys at Malolos, when not en-
gagged with the insurgents, are busy
building boats with which they are go
ing to start on a voyage in search OF
home. They have reached the conclu-
sion that this is the only way they will
ever be able to reach that spot again.
The health of those on the line is ex-
cellent; in fact. no organization has the
percentage of men fit for duty that
Utah has.

along. Last Sunday this proved rather
expensive. as Captain Wedgewood took
a gun to help the boys out who had
walked into the insurgent pocket near
Calumpit. One gun was completely
stripped of its crew and several new
graves were made in Battery hill,
where the bodies of our dead are now
buried, while some other men went to
the hospital with serious wounds. In
no folc ha Cross have
done wonders, and a soldier is given
just as good treatment as though his
own mother were there to nurse him.
The work of the Utah batteries has
been revelation to the tacticians as
to the power of artillery. Our army
officers have awoke to the fact that the
United States army is woefully def

Then and Now.

The vote for county commissioner in
the first precinct of the first commission
err district Tuesday was extremely light,
only 50 votes being cast. w. H. Walton
was elected AS his own successor, having
no opposition owing to the questionable
methods used by the district committee
in calling to caucus too late to make the
business legal. Mr.. Walton was NOM
mated by petition and the republicans
put no candidate in the field and Com

ity Of the voters-had no opposition.
The full vote of the first precinct at the
last election was 2IS.-Recorder Nov. 9

Output of the Ksondike.

No one will ever know exactly how
much gold was taken from the Klondike
fields the past season. Since the Eng
fish government imposed Il royalty, the
miners have adopted all sorts of ruses TO
evade the law. 1t is rather difficult to
dodge taxes, but it is more difficult to
dodge a bad cold and the grip at this
time Of the year. When the system is
weakened by such attacks, and the blood
becomes thin and impoverished, the best
medicine to take is Hostctter's Stomach
Bitters. This remedy builds up the sys-
TEN. Besides regulating digestion, it
overcomes constipation. 1t is good for
the kidneys and liver, too, stimulating
these organs into the proper performance
of their functions. Nothing is so good
for malaria.
