ANOTHER BODY RECOVERED.
Tenth Victim of Steamboat ExpIosiO,
on Delaware River.

PHILADELPHIA, August 30-Another
bcdy of a victim Of Wednesdays steamboat
disaster was recovered from the Delaware
river by the police this morning 1t is sup
posed to be that of Harry Johnson, thirty
six years, a grocer of Hulmeville Pa. who
was on his way home from Philadelphia
He leaves widow and five children.
This makes the tenth body recovered, of
which eight have been identified Two
bodies, those of a woman and a small girl,
are unidentified. They are so badly
charred and fisfigured that they will prob
ably never be identified positively Nine
teen are missing and it is almost certain
that all of these are dead. OF the eight
persons remaining in the hospital two are
almost certain to die. Thus the net result
of the awful explosion will be in the neigh
borhood of thirty deaths when the melan-
choly returns are all in.
A statement made today by Mrs. B. Grant
Clapham who was passenger on the City
of Trenton with her two daughters, Edna,
aged seven and Amanda, aged FIVE estab-
fishes beyond reasonable doubt the fate
of Mrs VIM. H. Keen, who had been re-
ported among the missing. Mrs. Clapham
was in the cabin of the steamboat when the
explosion occurred. She was severely hurt
and scalded by escaping steam and be-
came separated from her children. While
making frantic search for her little ones
Mrs. Clapham says she was accosted by
Mrs. Keen, who said she was badly injured
and begged piteously for assistance. Mrs
Clapham was forced to leave Mrs. Keen to
search for her children She found both of
them scalded by steam, but she succeeded
in getting them to place of safety from
which they were taken by the rescuers
Until today Mrs. Clapham was too much
Frustrated to make her statement regard
ing Mrs. Keen.
William H. Keen, the husband Of the wo-
man now placed in the list of known dead.
took his wife and their daughter, Fanny d.
Keen. twenty years on the City Of Tren-
ton foy a pleasure trip. He was found
crushed to death in the ruins of the steam-
beat. The daughter was terribly burned
and scalded and the hospital surgeons saw
she cannot recover.
With the death of the daughter,s the en-
| tire Keen family will be wiped out of ex-
istence. Mr.. Keen was the superintendent
! of large Philadelphia dairy.

QUIET AT COLON.
Dispatch of Commander Sargent OF
the Machias.

the Machias.
A cahlegram was received at the Navy
Department today from Commander Sar-
gent of the Machias, at Colon, reporting
that matters there are very quiet. His
cablegram also indicates a belief on his
part that the revolutionary disturbances in
that section of Colombia, at least. have
practically been suppressed.
The State Department has been 1ore-
warned of the circulation of reports OF
revolutionary troubles in Ecuador in a dis
patch from United States Minister Samp.
son at Quito. This came by mail, so that
It is six weeks old, and the predictions OF
the minister have already been Verihedl
These were to the effect that, owing to the
impending national election In Ecuador
slight disturbances might be expected IN
various sections which would, by report,
he maenified to revolutionary movements,
but they were not to be seriously regarded
The following is the text of Capt. Sar.
gents message:
COLON, August %, 1901. !

most authoritative results of investigation
give me the following information: There
is no appearance Of an organized insurgent
force in the vicinity of the railway. Free

every prospect of continuance. Rumor iS
unfounded that United States property Is

where the union scale was signed as in the
mills where the union scale did not pre-
vail?'
'The wages were in the main practically
the same and in many cases actually the
same
What, then, was the objection Of the
steel trust to signing the union scale in all
mills?"
"The trust contended that it had signed
Individual contracts in the non-union
mills
us this a fight to enforce the union scale
of wages, or to compel mills to employ
union men only?'
'It was the desire of the Amalgamated
Association to compel all the mills of the
trust to be unionized'
Does the signing of a union scale by a
mill prevent the employment of non-union
men in that mill?''
1T does not actually prevent it at the
outset, but 1t serves notice on all men
there employed or seeking employment that
they should join the union or eventually
get out of the mill.
This statement, while necessarily anony-
nous, 1 believe to be fair. The only part
of it likely to be questioned would be the
assertion that the wages in non-union and
this score there are claims and counter
claims, the wage scales In the non-union
mills are not all open to inspection.
The statement discloses the vital issue,
however Namely that this is a contest for
the extension of the union into fields where
no union has heretofore existed.
Up to this stage of the proceedings the
Amalgamated has not only failed of expan-
sion, but has actually lost some mills.
Burns Seeks Conference with SchNab

The New York World today publishes a

respondent, commencing with quoting Ad-
miral Watson as follows:
''f any naval officer asserts that Admiral
Schley is a coward and the fact comes to
my knowledge, I will see that the delin-
quent is given chance to vindicate his
opinion before court-martial. 1 will pre-
fer charges against such an officer myself"
Admiral John c. Watson said this few
days ago in a conversation in hotel lobby
where the Schley-Sampson controversy was
being discussed. The little gathering was
startled by the yehemence of the veteran
sailor. Some of them had been retailing
the usual charges against Admiral Schley.
Watson continued as follows his quiet but
forcible remarks:
''It is an absurdity to charge an officer
of Schley's record with cowardice, and the
mere implication is reflection ON the

 Th- tragic affair occurred in the rear of the fruit packing establishment con- ducted by his father at the corner Of Washington and Fourth streets. The boy. who had worked there all summer with his father was a bright little fellow and has freqv sntly been left in charge of the place for hours while his father was out on business. He had just re- turned from school, and Mir. Aepli to;j him to stay there while he went to sup per. and to employ himself msanwniie in sorting fruit In the rear of the building is a nest of ants that have been a source of annoyance all summer and the boy thought ne would just talk !. time enough from his work to exter- nlinate them: so he got q small can of kerosene, and after pouring some of the oil in the ant hole he touched a matc.l to it. He either held the oil can in his hand during the operation Or had it set down close by, the particulars being unobtainable. as the boy was alone. But at any rate the can exploded and the oil, which was thrown all over the boy, took fire. and soon enveloped him ;n flame. He ran into the store, where he was wrapped in grain sacks, the only thing available to smother the flame. b. a gentleman in the employ of Mr. Aepli. Dr. Stroud was summoned at once and arrived almost before the fire was extinguished. The little sufferer was taken to the Sisters hospital. where everything possible was done for his relief His legs and fear fully burned, and so great portion of the surface of his body was affected that his recovery was hopeless. Death occurred about half past ten, the little sufferer having lost consciousness two hours before.
 Mrs. Aepli was some distance in the country yesterday. and she was sent for last evening. Arthur was g good boy and is highly spoken of by those who knew him. No arrangements for the funeral will be made until the mother comes.
