IN THE OIL FIELDS.


One of the most terrific explosions OF
nitro-glycerlne this section of the oil
country ever experienced occurred early
yesterday morning. at point near Elk
Fork. in Tyler county. when magazine
owned by Frank Winch went off. There
was at the time of the explosion about
seventy-iive cans of the stuff in the
magazine. which would amount TO
about five hundred quarts. Fortunate
~ there was no one In the vicinity at
the time OF the explosion.
On account OF there being nothing but
frame buildings in that section OF the
country there WAS no damage done TO
property. The force OF the explosion
was so great that the defamation was
felt for miles, and a terrific hole was
torn in the ground. Great trees which
were growing nearby were torn UP by
the roots, and immense rocks were
thrown great distances. This Is the
greatest explosion of the kind this Sec
ton has ever known. and 1t was very
fortunate thing there was no one about
at the time.

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE
OF Lieut.. Cashier and Party in the

SEATTLE, Wash, Feb. 19.-Advices
from Dawson say that Lieutenant Cast

try, who started almost 4 year ago
from the southern coast of Alaska to
explore the interior and find If possible
an all-American trail to the Yukon. has
arrived there Finding the trail they
had believed to exist impossible, Lieu
tenant Cashier and two companions
started TO reach civilization. They put
their provisions, guns. etc. on 4 raft
and set II afioat on the Tanana river.
The raft was wrecked the second day
and all the effects lost. All that was
saved was a coil Of rope. With the
rope another raft was built and for
six days the men tloated down the
river. living on berries and rose apples.
They were without shoes or moccasirs.
their feet being covered by canvas tied
with strings. Just as hope was almost
gone the party drifted into an encamp-
ment of Tauana Indians. Here they
were Hospitality received and fed. and
after resting were guided TO camp of
white men. n hundred miles up the
stream. wherc-thc party rested until n
boat could carry them to the Yukon.
Lieutenant Cashier found all maps
10 be incorrect. His aneroid barometer
failed TO work and in consequence he
was unable to measure the height of
the mountains or the passes. The lieu
tenant says. however, that there is n
feasible route for n trail or railway
from the coast to u point on the Yukon
river below Circle City. but lack of pro-
visions prevented him from taking the
time to map 1t out.

BOSTON LYRIC OPERA COMPANY.
The return engagement of the famous
Boston Lyric Opera company for the
week commencing tonight. with mat
inees on Wednesday and Saturday, Is
an announcement which will fill all
hearts with joy. The following clipping
from the Cincinnati Enquirer shows the
excellence OF the company:
OF the production last night much
can be said in praise, but let 1t suffice
when In Its entirety to say Said
Pasha" Is one of the best things seen
here this season. The opera was beau
tifully staged. costumed and rendered.
Miss Josephine Stanton. Serena. the
Pasha's daughter" made pronounced
hit and sank her music in an artistic
ally charming manner. Miss Beatrice
Gordon as "Atli, the Queen" was eX-
cellemt and was enthusiastically en-
cored on her first solo. OF the male
members Mr.. Henry Hallam the tenor,
Mr.. George Olml. the baritone. and Mr..
Rogers were very good, but the hit OF
the performance perhaps were the COM
edlans Robert Lett as "Hadad." an ad-
venturer, and Jack Henderson. as
"Mockey." his companion. They kept
| the audience In n continual roar. Mr..
Let's parodes on "Oh. Promise Me"
were encored time and time again. Like
"Erminie." said Pasha" allows the
comedians abundance Of opportunity
to scope" and they did so to the en-
| tire satisfaction of their auditors. Mr.
Lett Is the best singing comedian that
has ever been seen here and became n
favorite at once.
Popular prices will prevail during this
engagement.

SUGAR DOOMED BY
BELLIGEREnT BULLS
Successful Manipulation by a
New Clique.
Fresh Interest Attends Sharp Ad-
yanees in the Stock.
Todny,s Bank Statement the Feature
of DiScussion-The General
Market steady.

New York, May 12-The stock market
was in the main more stable today than
at any time during the week. Trading
was comparatively light in volume. but it
was fairly well distributed. though active
speculative interest was keenest in the
industrial quarter and in few of the
specialties. Those technical features of
the market which characterized the trading
earlier in the week were not conspicuously
present today. That is TO say that actual
liquidation was in very small volume ard
active manipulation was limited TO few
stocks. Commission houses reported
considerable increase in outside interest
in the market and foreign houses were
buyers Of a fair amount OF various stocks.
Probably the dominant influence in the
market was the common expectation that
the bank statement tomorrow would show
a very large increase in the banks sur
plus reserve, and this vas the chief fub-
5ect OF discussion. So far as can be esti-
mated the banks have gained over s1,00o, 900
on the interior money movement of the
week and in their dealings with the sub
treasury on account of the Spanish in
demnity payments they have gained ever
81, 100000. To this there should be added
the s., 600, 600 received on the same account
late last week The unknown quantity is
the loan account, though the changes there
should still further strengthen the banks
position.
Sugar Refining was the conspicuous stock
of the market in a very sharp advance.
No particular gossip or rumors attended
the advance which was commonly ascribed
10 the operations Of 4 newly formed and
well exploited bull pool in the stock. Sim
liar movements in anticipation of the divi-
dend declarations have been familiar Incl
dents in the stock markets history. The
oracular utterances upon Sugar stock Of
a philsnthropic Boston speculator were
referred to In connection with its advance
which would indicate that in its fervent
desire for leadership Wall Street is not
over particular as 10 quality. The other
more pronounced movements were in the
local traction shares. which were based up
on the strong opposition which developed
at the hearing upon the Ford franchise bill
before the Governor yesterday Manhat-
tan Railway participated in the movement
notwithstanding its very poor showing for
the first quarter OF the year, and the IN
favorable report upon the structure of the
Tammany board OF health.
There was very little In the days sltua-
tion apart from the noted expectation in
regard to the bank statement. The trading
was fairly active in the granger shares,
Atchison preferred, Missouri Pacific I'm
ion. and Northern Pacific. and Louisville
and Nashville. Aside from Sugar Refining

New York. May i2.-Liyerpool spot sales
fell off today to 1900 bales. This is fair
showing. but light compared with recent
demand. Aside from developments abroad
there are few. If any. factors on this side
calculated to infuse much snap into specu-
lation at present. The contience OF the
bulls shows no abatement. Sales OF IoZ,-
coo bales at Liverpool during the past week
is an element not to be ignored. and the
unparalleled trade situation abroad may,
after all. cause 4 forward movement in
cotton prices regardless of the size OF the
crop. This notion appears 10 be constantly
gaining ground. The best people in the
trade are very cautious and while leaning
to the bear side are displaying unusual
caution. The morning market was in
deep rut. Some tired holders sold out on
the excuse of decreased activity for spots
at Liverpool. Another depressing factor
was fine weather all over the South, with
temperature 56 to so. Good rains fell in
the Southwest. where needed. but the At
lantic States were still dry. On the whole
the weather conditions were regarded as
of a character to neither elate nor de-
press the contending factions. and the re-
suit was a very quiet market, with triflins
changes in prices.
