ANOTHER CONFERENCE WANTED.
Senate Unwilling to Recede From
Its Position on Chinese Exclusion.

Senate Unwilling to Recede From
Its Position on Chinese Exclusion.
Washington, April 26-In the Senate
to-day Mr.. Platt of Connecticut pre-
scented a conference report on the Chi
nese exclusion bill asking that the
Senate disagree to the report and in
sist upon a further conference. He
explained that the only point of differ
ence between the conferees of the
Senate and the House was that the
House conferees asked the Senate con-
ferees to eliminate from the substitute
passed by the Senate that portion
which provides that the present Chi
nese exclusion law be extended
through the life of the present treaty
and remain in force until another
treaty shall have been negotiated.
Mr.. Platt's motion that the Senate in
sist upon it's amendment and agree to
another conference. was agreed to.
Senators Plat OF Connecticut, Dilling-
ham of Vermont and Clay of Georgia
were named as conferees on the part
of the Senate.
At the conclusion of routine business
Mr.. Pritchard of North Carolina ad-
dressed the Senate in support of the
bill for the purchase of a national for
est reserve in the Southern Appalach-
ian mountains.

FIVE MEN BLOWN TO PIECES.
Powder Mill Explosion Near Shen-
andOah, Pa.s Does Fearful Work.
Only Two Arms Found.

andoah, Pa, April 26.-By the
explosion this afternoon of the upper
powder mill of the Shenandoah Powder
Company at Krebs Station, about four
miles from here, five employees were
instantly killed and all the buildings
of the plant were blown to pieces. The
killed are Irwin Wolf, Amos Yarnal,
w. j. Lindermuth, Elmer Stauffer and
John Rupert.
1t will probably never be known what
caused the explosion, as all the men
employed about the magazine were
killed. Not a trace of any of bodies
has been found, with the exception of
Wolf, whose arms were picked up some
distance from the scene of the explo-
sion, terribly mangled.
oliver Mummy, who was employed in
the charcoal house, said the first ex-
plosion, which was slight, occurred in
that building and communicated to the
magazine.
A large force of men are searching
for the remains of the missing men.

NOBODY APPOINTED
GEORGIA REPUBLICANS DIsAP-
POINTED AGAIN.
BLUM MAKES STATEMENT.
TELLS OF HIS WITHDRAWAL In
1898 TO GO TO WAR.

His appointment Withdrawn May 1,
1S0S, the Date OF His Departure
From Savannah for GrifIn-Harry
Is Mt the Capital and Is Confident
of AppOintment-JoeD Doyle Said TO
Have Organization backing From
Georgia and the Regulars Stfn
Looking for His Appointment.
Washington. April 26.-There was
great disappointment among Georgia
Republicans to-day because the Pres
ident did not send to the Senate the
Savannah and Brunswick federal APP
pointments. The tip was dropped yes
terday from an authorized source that
the President had decided to appoint
Harry Blum, Jr, postmaster and De-
veauX collector of customs. 1t was said
that the nominations might go in the
same day. The list which the President
sent to the Senate did not contain any
Georgia appointments.
This morning word was passed
around among the Georgia Republican
company here that all of the Georgia
appointments were expected to go to
the Senate to-day. Consequently, a
number of interested Georgians lowered
around the Senate chamber until the
Presidents secretary arrived. The list
contained no Georgia names, and again
the hopeful ones were disappointed.
Harry Blum is here looking after his
interests, and he has been assured that
he is to be the next postmaster at Sa-
vannah. He has filed with the Presi-
dent written statement, giving the
date of the withdrawal of his nominal
ton from the Senate in 1898, when he
claims to have relinquished the Sa-
vannah postmastership to volunteer for
the Spanish war.
The records of the Postoffice Depart
ment show that Mr.. Blun's appoint
ment was withdrawn May l. 1898. This
was the date Mr.. Blum left Savannah
for Griffin, Ca, to go into camp, hav-
ing already enlisted in the service.
This statement is said to have made
a deciding impression upon the Presi-
dent in MIR. BUNS favor. The Repubh-
can organization in the state has been
urging the disappointment of Postmas-
ter Doyle, and the fact that the nom.
nation of Blum did not go in to-day
encourages the regulars to hope that
some hitch has occurred in the Blum
matter, which may yet result in the
reappointment of Doyle.

Commerce and the Canal.

AS after the Civil War the nation
entered upon an extensive policy OF
internal improvement. subsidizing so
long as necessary, trans continental
lines of railway, and permanently con-
tinuing the subsidizing of rivers and
harbors, so after this later war we
appear to be entering upon an equally
progressive policy of external improve
ment. Not as the crow flies, but as
ships SAIL it is nearer from Liverpool
to San Francisco via Cape Horn than
from New York to the same port via
the southern extremity. Start two ships
of equal speed from Liverpool, going
to our Pacific coast, one through the
Suez canal and the other by Cape Horn,
and two vessels. of the same speed
from New York, one going westward
and the other eastward, and both Eng
lish vessels will reach their destina-
ton before either of ours. Cut the
isthmian canal and 1t is nearer from
New York to Hong Kong via Mica
ragua than from Liverpool to the same
port via the Suez.
Gentlemen, we must have the larg-
est merchant fleet ever kissed by ocean
breezes, and these carriers of inter-
national commerce must be built of
American material, in American yards
by American labor. They are to be man
ned by American sailors, burn Amer
lean coal, or more probably oil, and
they are to float the Stars and Stripes.
Whether this be accomplished through
government aid or by American pa
triotism and American capital and
American energy 1 cannot say. Wheth-
or this contamination shall be con-
tributed to by statesmen or achieved
by financiers is immaterial compared
with the Importance of the thing it
self. American wealth, plus Hawaii,
which is ours, plus the Philippines,
which are ours, plus the Isthmian ca
nal. which we will surely construct;
plus merchant marine which we will
surely build, transfers the sovereignty
of the Pacific ocean from the Union
Jack to the Stars and Stripes.
1t was nearly midnight when Hon.
H. c. Payne, Postmaster General,
arose to speak on THE Men of Our
Tines"

THE DISASTER AT JOPLIN.
Three Killed and Eight Perhaps Fa-
tally Injured in Fridays Tornado.


tally Injured in Fridays Tornado.
Joplin, Mo-, April 26-It is known to-
day that three persons were killed and
about thirty injured in the tornado that
swept through Joplin yesterday. Of
the injured perhaps eight were fatally
hurt. A conservative estimate places
the total loss at 100000. The casual
ties were caused by flying debris, or
falling walls. Two of those killed lived
on Moonstone Hill, on the outskirts of
Joplin. The district swept by the tor
nado was about four blocks wide, COM
mencing on the western limits of the
city at Seventeenth street and ending
at Seventh street, on the east side
of the city. Two dozen houses in the
southern end of the city were either
wholly or partly demolished, while in
the mining district heavy loss was
caused in the wrecking of mine houses.
Scarcely a building in the course of
the storm escaped damage. About
fifty families are homeless. In the resi-
dence portion the loss fell principally
among the poorer classes. Many lost
everything, and are destitute.
Plans to care for these were arrang
ed this afternoon at a mass meeting,
called by Mayor Trigg.
Many Buildings Suffered.
The 'Fricso roundhouse was partly
destroyed; the roof was blown off the
Joplin Roofing Company's building,
the Joplin Ice and Cold Storage Sup
ply Company's buildings suffered, and
the Joplin Hay Company's barns were
demolished. The new Baptist Church
was unroofed, the Methodist Mission
Church was completely demolished,
and the baseball grand stand was
blown away. The offices of the white
lead works, Cooper's carriage shop,
and the buildings on the Plymouth
mine, the Blackburn mine and the
Cumberland lead and Zinc Companys
mine destroyed. Albert Frey's mine
suffered heavy damage and the Amer
lean Concentrating Company's mill
was badly damaged.

CUBAN QUARANTINE DEFERRED.

On Account of Excellent Conditions
in Island 1t Is Postponed UntIl
June L.
Washington, April 26.-Acting Sec
rotary Spauding has issued an amend
ed Cuban quarantine circular in which
he says that in view of the improved
conditions in the ports of Cuba, and
the fact that there has been no yellow
fever reported in that island in 1902,
to the present time, the season of close
quarantine for yellow fever, that is,
the season during which detention of
personnel and disinfection of vessels
from infected ports is demanded,
against the Island of Cuba, is post
poned until June 1, 1902. This post
ponement does not, however, obviate
the necessity of inspection, and applies
only to Cuba. The surgeon general
of the Marine Hospital Service is au-
thorized to put in effect the, close quar-
antine Immediately should changed
conditions require it.

All Their Shipping Is Slipping
Away From Them.
London, April 26.-The Americaniza-
ton of the British mercantile navy will
again be the principal subject at "ques-
ton time" in the House of Commons
Monday. Members have given notice
of a dozen inquiries, covering variety
of points, indicative of widespread ap-
prehension that despite assurances to
the contrary, the shipping combine
menaces not only Great Britain's naval
resources, but her commercial inter
ests. Further information will be
asked of the ministers as to whether
the British companies enter the COM
bine on precisely the same terms as
the American and German lines:
whether the British companies will be
required to disclose the terms of their
agreement with the American syndi-
cate, and whether the obligations of
the White Star Line to recruit half
it's crews from the royal naval reserves
will hold good, etc. The pessi-
mists refuse to credit the
assurances that the Atlantic combine
has no Interior design to sap the naval
strength of Great Britain. Mr. Morgan
is held up as a monster dealing Keeling
blows to ill-organized British trade,
and calmly organizing earthquakes
with designs to swallow up the world. :"

WHITE STAR LINE NOT SOLD.
Chairman Ismay Denies That Com
bine Has His Line.

Liverpool. April 26.--J. Bruce Ismay,
chairman of the White Star Line, in
an interview this afternoon, positively
denied the report that the White Star
Line had been sold, and also denied
that the American shipping syndicate
held any shares whatever in the COM
pany.
Mr.. Ismay said Mr.. Pirrie, head of
the shipbuilding firm of Harland &
Wolff, had not sold his shares in the
White Star Line and he did not intend
to sell them. The statement of the
secretary of the British admiralty
Mr.. Arnold Forster, in the House of
Commons, regarding the White Star
Line, was not correct.
AS to the report of negotiations of
]. Pierpont Morgan with himself with
the object of the former purchasing
shares in the White Star Line, Mr.
Ismay said that any information on
the subject bust be obtained from Mr..
Morgan himself.

DASTARDLY PLOT DISCOVERED
Attempt to Blow Up Niagara Tunnel
Work, With Probable Death of
Thirty Men, Prevented in Nick. of
Time.


Thirty Men, Prevented in Nick. of
Time.
Buffalo. N. Y, April pa special to
the News from Niagara Falls says:
BY the merest accident the lives of
about thirty men and the tunnel work
of the Canadian Power Company were
saved from destruction. Last evening
as the night shift went on the discov-
cry was made of a most dastardly at
tempt to wreck the tunnel and kill the
men working 100 feet below the sur
face of the earth.
The shaft leading down to the tun-
mel is 100 feet deep. From the bottom
of the shaft the tunnel runs north and
south and men work at both headings.
The blasts are discharged by means of
batteries which are operated at the foot
of the shaft, the wires extending to the
headings.
When the night shift went to work
one of the "nipper" boys discovered
that at a point 100 feet from the bot
tom of the shaft the wires from one
of the batteries had been cut and a
cartridge cap connected and placed in
a stick of dynamite. The stick OF
dynamite had been placed between the
two boxes of dynamite containing rs
pounds of the material. 1t is GUS
tomary for the day shift to arrange
the blasts and the night shift sets
them off when 1t comes on.
Had the "nipper' boy failed to dis
cover the plot the damage and death
list would have been fearful. The
men at the headings would have been
killed and imprisoned and work which
has cost many thousands of dollars
ruined.
The object or the motive is not
known. The detectives are at work on
the case
