sDEATH IN EXPLOSION.
Thirteen Killed and Scores Were Injured
in Chicago Accident.

| Chicago, Dec. with a deafening
report a boiler in Swift & Co.'s plant
exploded shortly after 10 O'Clock yes
terday morning. Thirteen lives were
sacrificed, and scores of employees, Wis.,
itors and others we're injured. Huge
boilers were sent through the roof of
! the boiler house, and hurled hundreds
of feet. Nobody within the boiler
room survived to tell the story of the
accident, and it may never be known
what caused the explosion. A care
full investigation today, however, con-
WINGED the experts that the explosion
was the result of carelessness on the
part of an employe, whose own life
was lost. Five minutes after the ex-
plosion nothing of the boiler house but
pile CT twisted iron, bricks and NOR
tar remained. Flames sprang from the
ruins, and the spectators realized that
1T would be impossible to save the lives
OF those who were caught in the wreck.
The explosion was of such force that
adjoining buildings were wrecked, torn
and twisted like toys. Men, women
and boys at work in adjoining depart
ments were hurled through windows to
the ground below. Many of them es-
capped with slight bruises, but most of
the victims were hurt to such an ex-
tent that it was necessary to remove
them to hospitals. The others were
taken to their homes.
1t was soon rumored I. 1t from so to
100 persons were caught IL the wrecked
building. This report caused great ex-
citement, and in response to repeated
calls, dozen patrol wagons and as
many ambulanCes were sent from all
parts of the city. Extra calls for fire
engines followed, and soon the flames
were being fought from every side.
While the fire was still burning fire.
men and employees of the packing house
began digging in the ruins. Soon the
mangled remains of man were diseov-
cred. At the same time other rescuers
were digging with desperation to res
cue several victims who were still
alive. Bodies torn, bruised and man
gled were taken from the ruins and
sent to the morgue. A boy, scalded
from head to foot and bleeding from
cuts and bruises, staggered toward the
office of General Superintendent Y Jung.
The boy was Mr.. Young's personal
messenger. The lad, however, had
been so badly disfgured that Mr.. Young
did not recognize him.
1t is not thought that the loss to
Swift & Co. will amount to more than
$4,000. The officials of the company
declare that this will cover the damage,
as nearly as they are able to estimate
at the present time. The building in
which the boilers were located was the
only structure to be entirely destroyed,
and it was small structure, one story
high. The storehouse, which stood
close to the boiler house, was badly
damaged, portion of it's walls being
torn, but it is only two stories high.

AMERICANS BETTER OFF.
MOsely Compares Their Condition with
That of English Workmen.

New York, Dec. 2.-Alfred Mosely.
the retired English merchant, who with
a number of workmen has made a six
weeks tour of this country to study in
dustrial conditions here and in Cana
da, says:
''Our trip, on the whole, was emin-
emily satisfactory. We were all i'm
pressed with the thorough up-to-date-
ness of everything we saw. Another
thing that impressed us was the courte-
sy and frankness of American employers
and the pains they were willing to take
to explain the methods in use at their
respective factories and works."
All the delegates will report their
impressions to the unions of their re-
spective trades on their return to Eng
land. Terrence Flynn, of the tailors'
union, said:
Counting the extra outlay in rent
and clothes-for food and all else are
cheaper-the Americ IN workman is 25
per cent better off than the workman
in England. On the whole he is far
better cared for in respect to good san
itation, general comfort and better
equipment than we are, and on the
whole he lives as long or longer in har-
ness than the English workman. This
'too-old -at-50' principle does not pre-
vail among the workmen, wherever else
it may be found. We speak from OBJ
servation. Here pauperism or penury
in old age is almost unknown. The
records of the English workhouses
speak for themselves.

RUSSIA MUST PAY.
United States Wins Sealing Arbitr alton
Over 100000 Will Be Received.


The Hague, Dec. 3.-Professor Asser,
the Dutch jurist, who has been arbitrat-
ing the claims of American sealers for
the seizure of their vessels by the Rus
sian government, about 10 years ago,
has delivered his award in favor of the
United States. He appraises the dam
ages in the case of the American
schooner G. H. White at $32 ,444; in the
case of the James Hamilton Lewis at
$28, ,528; the Kate and Anna at $1O,-
4sS, and the Cape Horn Pigecn at $685.
$50.
Professor Asser delivered his iudg-
ment in the arbitration court in the
presence of the representatives. of the
United States and of Russia and others,
including the foreign minister of the
Netherlands, DR.. Van Lyndena. In
giving his reason for the award, Pro-
fessor Asser held that the schooner
White was seized outside Russian terri
torial waters, and that the Russian con-
tention that warship of one nation
was entitled to pursue beyond the boun-
daries of its territorial seas a ship OF
another nation guilty of illegal action
within those waters was untenable.
The arbitrator declared that the juris-
diction of state could not extend be-
yond its territorial waters except by
special treaty.

MITCHELL WANTS COAST DEFENSE.
Is Busy Getting Official Endorsement for
New Legislation.

Is Busy Getting Official Endorsement for
New Legislation.
Washington. Dec. Ex-senator Mitch
ell has been busy throughout the past
week collecting recommendations from
the secretary of war and other officials,
touching upon needed legislation for
the coast defense of the country. As
chairman of the committee on coast
defenses, the senator proposes to advo-
cate the passage in the short session of
such legislation as is urgently de-
manded.
In years past, the duties of the COM
mittee on coast defenses have been
cared for by the committee on military
affairs. The growing Importance of
the coast defenses and their present
inefficient equipment has appealed to
the senator. He is particularly anx-
ious that some legislation be enacted
which will permit the complete fortifi-
cation of the mouth of the Columbia
river, but says most Of the harbors are
vet inadequately protected.

Opening of the Senate,

Washington, Dec. g. The senate
was IN session II minutes yesterday,
the first day of the session, an adjourn.
ment until today being taken out OF
respect to the memory of Senator Nc
MILAN, who died during the recess.
Rarely has the historic chamber pre-
sented such an appearance. The Gus
tom OF placing flowers on the desks of
senators on the opening day of ses-
sion is one which has long been fol-
lowed, but the display today was ad-
mlttedly the most magnificent of any
that has yet been seen. Many of the
senators were early on the floor and
kept busy exchanging greetings with
old acquaintance. The galleries were
packed to suffocation, and hundreds
stood outside the corridors anxious to
gain admission. Among the interested
spectators were several members of the
diplomatic corps. Senor Quesada, the
Cuban minister, occupied conspicuous
place and exhibited much interest in
the proceedings. The absence of Rev.
DIR. Milburn, the blind chaplain. was
particularly noticed. His place was
taken by Rev. J. F. Prettyman, OF
Washington.
No business was transacted beyond
passing the customary resolutions that
the senate was ready to proceed to bug
mess and fixing the hour of convenin
the sessions at IL o'clock.
Gay Gathering In the House.
Washington, Dec. 2.-The opening of
the Fifty-seventh congress in the house
was, as usual, a spectacular event. The
galleries of the freshly decorated hall
were packed to the doors with people
prominent in society and political cir
cles, and the flower show on the floor.
although not as elaborate as usual.
filled the chamber with perfume and
added grace and beauty to the scene.
The members were good natured and
jovial, and there was no outcropping of
partisan feeling. Speaker Henderson
received a cordial reception as he as
sumed the gavel, but beyond this there
was no demonstration. The proceed
ings were purely perfunctory. A pray
er, the calling of the roll. the swearing
in of members elected to fll vacancies
created by death or resignation during
the recess, the adoption of the custom-
ary resolutions to appoint committee
to wait upon the president, to inform
the senate that the house was ready to
transact business and to fix the daily
hour OF meeting, summarizes what was
done.
Then the death Of the late Repre-
sentative Russell, of Connecticut,
which occurred in the earlv fall, was
announced by his successor, Mr.. Bran
degee, the usual resolution of regret
was adopted, and the house, as fur
ther mark of respect, adjourned until
today, when the presidents message
will be received. The session lasted
less than one hour.
