BLOWN TO ATOMS.

Indianapolis. Feb. s. = BY an explo.
sion of 760 quarts Of nitro-glycerine at
the magazine of the Gas Belt Torpedo
company, five miles northeast Of Alex
andria, Perry Fort, a carrier for the
company, with his team Of horses, the
wagon and the magazine was blown
to atoms, not a vestige Of either hav-
ing been found after the accident. Fort
started from K~nightstown Saturday
night with 725 pounds of explosive In
his wagon. hauled the dangerous load
over rough roads and arrived at Alex
andre at 1870 a. m. He passed through
the city and had evidently reached the
magazine, in which forty quarts OF
nitro-glycerine were stored when the
explosion occurred. A hole fifteen
feet deep and forty feet wide was left
where the magazine formerly stood.
Windows were generally shattered in
and the report was dis
tinctly heard at Kokomo. Muncia

POWERS WOULD DIVIDE CHINA.
Negotiations said to Have Reached
u Critical Stage.

u Critical Stage.
Washington, Feb. 3. - Representa-
lions to the state department from Pc
kin picture the developments al an
other critical stage. A categorical
statement as to indemnities has just
been sent to Minister Conger. The
question of indemnities is beyond
doubt the most serious before the Pc
kin board, and to all evidences is a
fruitful souce of d~issension. England.
Germany, France and Russia are all
making exorbitant demands for in
demnity, and the negotiations will
show how sincere the European gov
ernlnents are in trying to preserve the
entity of the Chinese imperial govern
ment, to restore peace and to estab-
lish satisfactory guarantees of safety
for the future. The fact that Chinese
finances are exhausted and that the
imperial government has used up its
credit in foreign money markets
makes the situation serious. There is
e fear that the European governments
are pressing these high indemnities to
compel China, as an only alternative.
to grant valuable territory and treaty
concessions.

The South Atlantic station Not Inn
p0rtant Enough for Him.
Washington, Feb. 3.-The secretary
Of the navy has decided to relieve Rear
Admiral Schley from the command Of
the South Atlantic station next spring.
It was expected that Schley would re-
main on that station until near the
time Of his retirement mex fall. but
he does not feel that the command il
commensurate with his merits. and
has indicated a desire to come home.
The South Atlantic squadron at first
consisted of three vessels but one Of
these was transferred to the Philip
pines, leaving only the Chicago and the
Atlantic. When Admiral Schley was
assigned to that command there was
some talk among his friends that the
station might be made of unusual i'm
portance on account of the war in
South Africa, but this expectation did
not materialize. Rear Admiral Schley
will be retired for age in October next.

OUTBREAK IN CUBA
PRESIDENT M,KINIEY SEES DAM
GER AHEAD.
Might MisunderstanA Delay
By This Government and the
President Will Insist That Con-
gress Pass Upon the Cuban Con-
stitution Before Next Winter AID
Give the Island Its Freedom
of Cubans and Even I~psurEection
Might Result.

Washington, Feb. 3. - Information
from Havana indicates that the hitch
in the constitutional convention over
the eligibility Of Gen. Gomez for pres
ident may delay the completion of the
constitution 80 that 1t cannot be sub
mitted to this government before con-
gress a%djourns. 1t has been expected
at the war department that the con-
vention would complete its work by
the middle of February and that q
copy of the constitution would be in
the presidents hands a week later.
There may now be q delay Of several
weeks, but the changed conditions has
not changed the presidents mind as to
the necessity for an extra session of
congress-. He does not propose to
leave the settlement of this question
until next winter. There would be
danger Of disturbances and even insur
rection in Cuba with the suspicious of
the Cubans
Encouraged by Schemers
who would expect to profit by a de-
termined movement for absolute indie
pendence. Such outside efforts have
been responsible in a degree for the
failure of the Cuban convention to give
recognition to the United States in the
constitution, and a long delay on the
part of this government might De ac-
cepted as weakness and lead to revo-
.lutionary outbreaks when there are so
lew troops In h island. The presi-
dent sees danger of misunderstanding
on the part of Cubans in delay by this
government, and he insists that con-
gress must cooperate with him in
passing upon the Cuban constitution
at an early date, that the position Of
this government will be clearly under
stood not only in Cuba, but by other
governments and by those spectators
who are watching the situation with
the hope of absolute independence in
Cuba, that they may profit by the pro-
motion of all sorts of wild schemes.

Washington, Jan. 81. = The anti
polygamy crusade which resulted in
driving Mr.. Roberts out Of the house
had an echo in the house yesterday
during the consideration of the agri-
cultural appropriation bill. When the
section making the appropriations for
agricultural colleges of the several
states was reached MI. Lands OF In
diana offered an amendment providing
that M money should be paid to the
college in Utah until the secretary OF
agriculture was satisfied that no trus-
tee or teacher in the institution prac-
ticed polygamy. The amendment came
as a complete surprise. MI. Kin who
succeeded Mr.. Roberts. tried In vain TO
head 1t of with a point of order and
then inveighed against it as simply an
aftermath Of the Roberts crusade. he
insisted that polygamy was q thing OF
the past. MI. Lands replied by al
leRing that two Of the professors OF
the Utah agricultural college were
polygamists, and that one Of the
tees had seven wives and thirty-seven
children. Upon this showing the
house adopted the amendment, where
upon Mr.. King retaliated by Offering
an amendment providing that none OF
the money should 90 to agricultural
colleges in any state whose instructors
or trustees have engaged in lynchtng
or been guilty Of adultery or fornica.
