| sistence on $500 a ton for arnor plate.
| All the other appropriation bills had been
passed, the senate finally receding Oh.
the Nicaragua canal amendment to the
river and harbor bill. Congress was
| still in session at that hour. The usual
! lively scenes at a night session at the
! close of congress were enacted.
| During the night in executive session
| the senate confirmed the nominations

The members Of the house put in their
spare time Friday night and Saturday

I er My God, to Thee to 'HOt Time in
the Old Town, and the senate, holding
in session until past the correct hour Of
noon, followed the time-horored prac
tice of turning the clock back to make
therecord all right. Bailey moved tn res
olution of thanks to the speaker in the
house accompanying it with a few
graceful words, and the speaker replied
briefly and feelingly. The usual resO-
luton of thanks to the president of the
senate was adopted in that body, and
Hobart made an appropriate response.

mittee on appropriations, and Dockery,
ranking Democratic member of that
committee, agree in a statement that
the total appropriations of the Fifty

Toulon, March 6.-The naval powder
magazine OF La Goubran, between La

Var, southern France, exploded at half
past 2 a. m. yesterday. All of the SOL
diers on duty at the magazine were
killed, and a number Of inhabitants Of

in which were RACED, also fell victims.
Forty corpses have already been re-
covered.

Fifty thousand lilogrammes of black

strOyed, trees overturned and distorted.
fields devastated and covered with
stones and impalpable black dust. Some
Of the stones are enormous. One weigh
ing fifty kilOgrammes fell in the suburb
Of POne de Las. Signs of the explosion
are evident in all the suburbs of Toulon
and in the city itself. Even at ST. Jean
Devar, five miles distant, windows were.
shattered and doors battered in. Of the
seven sentres four were killed outright
and the others severely injured, the cor
poral being literally scalped and the
scalp overhanging his face like veil.
Not Less Than 100 Injured.
"A large number of soldiers are now
employed in clearing away the debris,
but the work is very difficult. It is i'm
possible to ascertain accurately the
number killed, but it is believed that
no fewer than 100 were injured Al
though It was clear night the ex-
plosion was so terrific as to produce
slight rainfall.
It is believed that the explosion orig
mated in chemical decomposition in
smokeless powder. There is no sug-
gestion of foul play Both the govern
ment and municipal authorities are for
warding relief funds. M Lockroy, min
lister of marine, has telegraphed 10000
francs toward the maintenance of the
families of the victims, and a public
subscription has been opened here.
All the Corpses Terribly Mutilated.
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
into the sea. A vehicle moving along a
road near the sea was lifted bodily into
the water by the force of the explosion,
two of its occupants being drowned.
