Pittsburg, (SpeciaD By an expo
sion of gas in the Soho furnace of Jones
& Laughlin. in this city, ten men were
burned to death, three injured so badly
that they are not expected to live and
two others dangerously hurt
The men were at work at the top Of a
big blast, over 100 feet from the ground.
They were employed as filters and were
just getting ready to quit work when
the gas, which accumulated in the fur
mace, exploded and tons OF molten metal,
cinders and Stag were thrown over them.
All the men made rush Tor the ele-
yator, but it had gone down and there
was no escape. To Jump meant death
and to remain on the platform meant
just as certain doom.
Tons of molten metal and flames fell
npon them and burned ten men to death.
Their bodies dropped to the roof of the
mill IS feet below. Every bone was
broken and the bodies were unrecogniz-
able masses of human flesh.
The bodies of some OF the dead and
many of the injured were strewn about
the yard beneath the furnace, some of
the dead having fallen from the slip
perry roof TO the ground.
To remove the bodies from the roof
of the mill it was found necessary to get
a hook-and-ladder corps and the iremen
carried the burned and charred masses
of humanity to the morgue wagon.
In all parts of the yard beneath the
furnace the injured we're found. They
were hurried to the hospitals.
Ordinarily only three men work on
top of the furnace. but one of the heavy
iron wagons used in taking up the ore
got stuck on the top of the furnace and
the three men sent for assistance A few
men went up, but they could not move
the wagon, and more went up until the
number reached IA 1t was while they
were trying to get the wagon released
that the fatal explosion took place
Eyewitnesses say it was the most hor-
rible sight they ever witnessed. When
the explosion took place there was one
loud report and the sky was illumina-
ted with a sheet OF fame, showing the
men on top Of the furnace running
about and gesticulating wildly. The
flames and hot metal looked like vol
cano in action. Five of the men were
blown off the top Of the furnace, and,
strange as it may seem, these men are
the ones that are still living.

HAY.PAUNcEFOTE TREATY RATIFIED.
Only Mild Opposition Made in the Senate
The Next Step.

Washington, d. c. (SpeciaD By
the decisive vote OF u to o the United
States Senate ratified the Hay Pauncc-
fote treaty, in which an agreement is
entered into between Great Britain and
the United States whereby the latter
may construct an Isthmian canal.
The vote was taken after about two
hours of debate in executive session, and
after two amendments, one by Senator
Charles Culberson, of Texas, and the
other by Senator A. o. Bacon, of Geor-
gia, had been proposed and voted down.
The six Senators who voted against
the treaty are all Democrats. They are
Senators Bacon; ] c. S. Blackburn, of
Kentucky; Culberson Stephen Mallory,
of Florida; Henri M. Teller, of Colo
rado, and Benjamin X. Tilman. of
South Carolina. Two Democratic SEN
ators were paired against the treaty, as
follows Joseph w. Bailey, of Texas,
with Chauncey NJ. Depew, OF New York,
and Stephen b. Elkins, of West Vir-
ginia; Joseph L. Rawlins, of Utah, with
Mark A. Hanna and William J. Sewell,
u NcW Jersey. fOuT senators not
paired did not vote They were Messrs.
John w, Daniel, of Virginia, and Thos.
s. Patterson, of Colorado. Democrats,
and Matthew S. Quay, of Pennsylvania,
and John p. Jones, of Nevada, Republi-
cans. The remainder of the Senate
voted for the treaty.
The next step to be taken by the Gov
ernment in the direction of constructing
the canal will be the ratification of
treaties with the Governments of Costa
Rca and Nicaragua, giving the United
States the right of way through Central
America. 1t is expected there will be
little difficulty in securing such right,
Congress must also pass bill authoriz-
ing the construction of the canal

Chinese Ignorance.

r. Il. Speer, in Frank Leslie's Popu-
lar Monthly, says: "One of the de-
lights of travel in China is the innocent
ignorance of the people. They think
themselves the most sophisticated and
heayen-enlightened people on this
earth, and so make their naive childish
ness the more engaging. They live
very close to the primeval superstitions,
and the gods and devils, between whom
they make little practical distinction,
command their healthy respect. Our
slipper boat men stuck a bunch of in
cense sticks into the bank at the foot
of some bad rapids, to placate the favor
of the spirits of the rapids, who indeed
was so far pleased as to let us ascend.
Our house boat admiral laid out an
elaborate offering of chicken and rice
and soup and pork and chicken blood
and lighted candles as we entered the
North River on our downward journey.
"What is this for, captainT we asked.
For the enjoyment of the spirits of
the river" he replied; they are eating
half the sacrifice" But it Is all here
STILL" we told him at the close WELL"
he replied, 'at least, the candles are
gone"

This was a rude awakening, and the
game stopped.
Not long afterward she came to ask

1S99-190O found the magnetic south pole
and reached the highest southern lati-
tude so far, rs degrees so minutes; at 16O
degrees west longitude, where Ross in
1912 found land which is probably con-
tinental mass; at ITO degrees west longi-
tude Cook, IT'D; at 80 degrees west
longitude, where the Belgian expedition
under De Gerlache, during the winter of
1S9S-1S99 drifted beyond II degrees 30

ed to "a degrees 80 minutes south lati-
tude, and finally at Is degrees west longi-
tude Gross, 1S43). The enormous extent
Of the unknown south polar region can
best be illustrated if its limits are trans
ferred to a map of the north polar region.
1t will then be found that the boundary
would include Norway, Siberia and North
America down to 65 degrees north lati
tude, taking in the entire northern half of
Alaska.
Thibet Still a Mystery.
For the completion of the map of the
Asiatic continent the researches of the
nineteenth century have established new
and exact bases, yet there are still small
er and larger regions which are entirely
unknown. Much remains to be done in
Thibet, despite the successes of Russian,
English and French travellers and Indian
surveyors. This is particularly the case
of the land north of the route of Main
Singh QS74-1S75), south of the Kwenlun
and west of the route of the journey of
De Rims in 1898. North of the Kwen-
lun and Of the routes of Prschewalski
and Hedin, stretching to the Tarulo,
are extensive unknown deserts. The
eastern half of the Himalayas is known
only in incomplete outlines. The highest
peaks of the earth in this region have
been measured by trigonometry from the
flats of the Gauges river, but their bases
nor their tops have not been reached.
Unknown in the sense of modern re-
search is also the territory east of Blu
tan across the Tsangpo, Bramaputra, and
the Yang-tse- Kiang. In the southern
part of Arabia is the so-called vacant
quarter" as will be seen from a glance
at the map, an area more than twice the
extent of the German Empire.
Activity in Africa.
In Africa the researches nave been par
ticularly active, and what is known of
