bureau of information was opened. 1t was
not long before enquiries began to come
in for persons who had been working IN
the building where the explosion occurred
or ir. that neighborhood.
The following statement was given out
tonight by George E. Murray, inspector OF
combustibles:
an all fires a carbonic oxide Is formed
and under certain conditions becomes an
explosive. as in the case known among
the fireman as back drafts. In TINS
case OF Tarrant C Co.'S store, owing to
the recent construction of the building
it is more liable to occur on account OF
the fresh Georgia pine. which entered so
largely into its construction.
I'VE believe that the gas caused the
first explosion and the burning Of the con-
tents of the store caused the others as
the fire reached the different floors. We
learn from our surveyors report that the
explosives we're stored in a vault under
the sidewalk at 27S, and. from appear
ances, no disturbance has occurred at that
point. The contents of the vault at the
time of the survey were 10 pounds OF
ether, 4 pounds of collodion, 20 gallons
of turDentine. 5 gallons of alcohol, 10
pounds of muriatic acid, 10 pounds of sui
nhuric acid. This survey OF premises
was made on the It'll day of August.

THE CHARGES AGAINST HALL.
Conduct Of the Marine Officer to he
Investigated.

The charges against the military judg-
ment and courage of Capt. Newton H.
| Hall. of the United States Marine Corps
who was second In command OF the ma
rine guard that successfully defended the
American Legation at Pekin during It's
two months siege, are to be Investigate
by a court of enquiry. Captain Hall de-
manded that such a court be appointed,
and the Navy Department will act favor
ably on a recommendation to that efIect
from Brigadier General Haywood. of the
Marine Corps, to whom all the papers in
the case have been referred. The right
OF an officer to an investigation Of his
conduct by court of enquiry is guaran-
teed by the naval regulations. 1t is said
at the Navy Department that the instruc-
lions will be sent to Rear Admiral Remey
at Cavitc to appoint the court.
The charges against Captain Hall were
formally made by Edwin II. Conger.
United States Minister at Pekin, in an Of
fetal communication TO Major General
Chaffee. The Investigation OF the charges
were made personally by General Chaffee
and not by any court or board. There were
three main allegations. Minister COnger
accused Captain Hall of wanting to with
draw from an advantageous position on the
city wall. maintaining that it could not be
held, and it was necessary to send Capt.
]. T Myers. tie commanding officer of the
American marine detachment, to relieve
him Captain Myers held the wall sue
cessfully.
1t was alleged also by Minister Conger
that on the entry Of the international re-
lief column into Pekin, Captain Hall de-
clned to advance to place where his
men could assist the rescuers and that
two marines who volunteered to go for
ward and ascertain whether the desired
position was occupied by Chinese were re-
fused permission to do so by Captain Hall.
Thereupon, it is alleged, Russian officer
and small number of men of the Rus
sian Legation guard went forward and &C.
cupied the Joint of vantage. Minister Con-
ger alleges also that Captain Hall failed
to perform his duty on another occasion.
Another foreign Minister figures in Mr.
Conger's communication as being dissat-
isfied with Captain Halls conduct.
General Chaffee reviewed the several
charges and explained the circumstances
on which they were based. but it Is I'M
derstood that he did not go into particu-
lars or recommend that no further pro-
ceedings against Captain Hall be taken.
This is practically an opinion by General
Chaffee that he regarded the charges as
either unfounded or the result of misun-
Outstanding on the part of Minister Con-
ger. The Navy Department desires that
