sHIPBUILDIrG IN AMERICA
It is Attracting Great Deal of At
 tention in England

London, Oct 3 A quarterly return has been issued by Lloyd's. showing that the United States at the end of the last quarter had, next to Great Britain, the largest tonnage in shipping under construction. This return is attracting much attention. and the "Statist' points out that the actual and prospective development of shipbuiId- ing in America is even much greater than might be inferred from Lloyd's $ report.
 The "Statist' considers that the inn petus to shipbuilding given by cheap materials and the large demand for tonnage will receive further stimulus from the marketing of American coal abroad, which. the paper says. lis one of the most remarkable economic evo- lutions of our time"
 The ''Statist" expects that Americans will shortly solve the problem of evolv- ing a type of transatlantic colliers able. like tank steamers, to deliver cargoes in European ports without expecting return cargOes. It thinks that this great coal export trade will prove a powerful stimulus to the shipping subsidies bill. and lays stress upon the recrudescence of ship5uilding in New England as an important departure in ocean competition which may be eX- pected to expand rapidly.

A Seven Story Building Tossed by Explosion
WORST ON RECORD
The Number of the Dead is Estimated at 2OO-Glass Was Blown Out and People Thrown to the Ground Many Blocks Away-The Cause Fire Among Great Volume of Chemicals.

New York. Oct 29.-The long list of fire horrors that have occurred in the city of New York was added to today by a fire and explosion which shook the lower end of Manhattan Island like an earthquake. hurled a seven-story build ing into the air. set fire to two blocks of buildings. with loss of life that only the efforts of hundreds of men. who were rushed to work digging away the ruins as soon as the fire was eXtln- guished. will reveal
 The big building of Tarrant X O., makers of medical specialties. standing at the northwest corner of Greenwich and Warren streets, filled with chem icals, took fire in some way that may never be known. about 1915 D. m. At 12:16 a citizen rushed into engine house No. 29, on Chambers street, near Green wich, and shouted that the Tarrant drug house was on fire. He had seen q volume of black smoke coming from the third story windows. The alarm was turned in and soon afterward a second and third alarm were turned in.
 One fire company had just arrived when a terrific explosion occurred and threw the entire engine crew down a stairway. The firemen, realizing the danger of their position. rushed from the building to the street. The eXplo sion had filled the street in front with a shower of falling glass and small de- bris. which rent the crowd which had gathered on the opposite side of the walk.
 second explosion occurred about five minutes after the first From. the accounts of witnesses the building seemed to leap into the air and in q moment masses of brick walls. timbers and stone Were falling into the street. The force of the explosion tore away the walls of the big commission store houses fronting on Washington street and caused them to collapse. falling all at once in a mass of timber. boxes and barrels, from which flames. which burst out from the Tarrant building like the belching of cannon. broke forth. The great explosion was followed by half dozen more. scarcely less in tense. and by a countless number of smaller ones.
 Half an hour after the explosion the streets for blocks around the fire were crowded with fire apparatus. with a score of ambulances

George Mitchell. gem raI manager of his company after i, had succeeded in dispOssessing the Cobre Grande folks. He first corrobOra ted the testimony of MT. Greens last Friday and Saturday th2'. the property had ben greatly mismanaged by the Cobre Grande people. They had, he said. ''gutted" the mine of Fha most accessible ore; had worked over the best and shipped iJ leaving a lot of inferior ore upon which they would have to depend to make their payments. which they alleged they would have made but for the in terferenCe of the Greene crowd. Mitch ell testified that during the month pre- Vious to the date on which the pay ment of $37 800 was to be made, he had caused the ore left by the CObre Grande people to be worked over into matte and metallic copper the returns of which amounted to about $36,OO0. This had been accomplished at a cost of more than $46,OOO, including all eX- penses not counting the usually esti- mated cost of w5'ar on the machinery. The object of this testimony was to show that the Costello people could not have made the payment out of the pro
 
 agreed upon.
 On cross examination, which was not concluded when court adjourned MT. Mitchell was assailed by inquiries for detailed figures with which he was plentifully supplied. MT. Mitchell said his salary as general manager was $3O a day. A cOnsid5rabl part of the in format ton offered by him was tech nical. Being asked about the fOrma- tion, he described some characteristics of it; for instance, there was q kind of wat5r or fluid. What was it?" he was asked. His reply was a formula which sounded like this: ''BZ02X." The dozen lawyers glanced at each other for an instant in a startled manner. Then they looked wise as if they had been born with a knowledge of chem ical formuiae. Finally L. H. Chal- mers and Judge Street looked at each other and smiltd. Thus the way was broken for Q request to Mir. Mitchell to explain what he meant in language that even a lawyer might understand. The interpretation vas satisfactory and the case proceeded.

CONCERNING ARIZONA
The Los Angeles Herald Goes Into the
 Subject.

The Los Angeles Herald of last Sun day devotes a special page to Arizona and Arizona politics, and personal de- scriptlons of prominent residents of the territory, whose photographs illustrate the page. The leading article is con- tr1buted by the Herald's representa- tive in this territory, Lloyd Damron, uealing with agricultural resources, the arid lands, the Tonto Basin project, and mining. The election of Governor Murphy is advocated and there Is a strong argument for statehood, based largely upon facts set forth in the last report of the secretary of the interior.
 MT. John H. Norton of Los Angeles. for many years extensively identified with this territory, contributes a long article on the Future of Ar1zona,' which he believes will be materially advanced by another republican ad- ministratiOn. Under that condition MT. Norton says:
 Its rich mineral and other enter prises will readily command the con- fidence of eastern and foreign capital. There are a great many capitalists awaiting the result of the coming cleo tiOn before investing Tn Arizona. and under the improbable election of W. J. Bryan these contemplated investments would not materialize.
 The people a whole are deeply in- terested in the future of Arizona as a state. and under another admlnistra- ton Of William Mckinley have every reason to believe their expectations of statehood hA Tn, fact, It is well proven that the present administration is favorable to state- hood for Arizona
 Among the most ardent workers for this issue has been Governor N O. Murphy, the incumbent He has ably and indefatigably labored for the con- summation of the paramount issue of statehood to which it's wealth of re- sources and its population make it emil nently qualified. And until Arizona IS admitted to the union Of states it must suffer from many disadvantages. both physical and financial. which are the natural results of it's political Isolation as a territory. But when once admitted in.o the circle of states Arizona will advance in the estimation of capital, and this means a large increase in inn migration and established values"
 Beside this special page the usual column is devoted to territorial news of the week. Commenting upon this showing the Herald says. editorallv:
 The republicans of Arizona, head ed by Governor Murphy, are making a splendid fight for the political control of the territory. with good prospects of success. A wide split in the democratic party is helping matters in this direc- tion.
 Arizona is, by her population and her great and rapid developing re- sources, well entitled to statehood, and the election of the republican ticket next next month will turn it's prospects for admission at the next session of congress into a certainty. The people of Southern California are heartily in fla vor of the admission of her thriving next door neighbor. while republican, ism would cause Arizona to advance more rapidly than ever tbefore."

Since her death the union has been handicapped by personal differences and diverse views among those Iccog- nized as leaders of the movement. Since the last convention the national headquarters have been removed from the magnificent WOman's Temple in this city to the modest snnurban home of Miss Willard m Evanston. The rf- fort to save the Temple for the organ iZation was one e. th" bones of Cunt"l- ton leading - t.:-rionil strife which has been appLrrn;ly scctl"d for al time by the union yAcatins !ts former quar- ters and cutting loose entirely from the Temple project. According t1 runner some of the national leaders have been blamed for being tuo vigorous in their crusade against the army cantean, a movement which, :t is asserted by the faultfinders. has met with no success while at the same time causing the or ganization to become extremely un- popular with many classes of persons.
 While none of these things is of vital moment in itself. they are cited by those claiming to have inside knowi- edge of the workings of the organiza- ton as causes of dissa atisfaction and ldch CT interest dlIlOHS liS IdHh anu file and which are likely to prove fatal to the strength and influence of the great temperance society unless reme- dial measures are promptly applied. At the national headquarters the officers profess to have no knowledge of any existing dissatisfaction among the members. and assert that the condition of affairs is all that could be desired. It is the opinion. nevertheless, of those acquainted with the situation. that the approaching convention will be the most important held by the w. c.

THE ENGLISH POINT OF VIEW.
Of the Approaching American Flee

London, Oct 29.-Now that the eX- citement of the general election has passed the country is watching with increased interest the progress of the political campaign in the United States. It is doubtful whether any previous presidential election a.ro5s the Az lantic has attracted so muan attention from the British labor element as the present contest.
 The prevailing impression. conveyed by the press dispatches and correspOn- dence, is that the struggle is me he- tween capital and labor. and the col umns of the daily and weekly radical papers. such as Reynolds and others of it's class. team with comments on the latest phases of the supposed situation, while numerous leaflets and pamphlets dealing with the supposed contest be- tween the plutocracy on the one side and the masses on the other. have been penned for distribution among the working classes.
