THE NEW WHITE HOUSE.
a Memorial Deposited Beneath the
Floor of the Main Hallway.

Washington, Dec. 4.-Without the
least ceremony a pretty function oc-
Cured in the main corridor of the
white house. A copy of the message
sent to congress Tuesday by the presi-
dent, autographs of the Roosevelt chill
dren, specimens of United States coins
and the chisel with which the mason
did the work, were sealed in marble
casket which then was deposited in
a bed of cement beneath the floor of
the main hallway. Covering the little
treasure box was placed marble slab
bearing the inscription "1792-1902" in
an ellipse of stars, one for each state
of the union. The idea Of making the
deposit originated with the workmen
employed on the interior fnishings of
the white house. While it had the
approval of the president, he was moi
present at the sealing of the box.

An Explosion on Board q Steamer
Lying at the Wharf.
A Tank of Oil Blew Up, and the Vic
Tins Were Hurled Against the
Steel Wall Below the
Decks.

San Francisco, Dec. Awhile the
steamer Progresso was lying at the
wharf of the Fulton iron works at Har-
Dor View Wednesday morning an ex-
plosion occurred and as a result II
men are missing, a score more injured
and property to the value of 100000
was destroyed.
The disaster occurred while 40 me-
chanics of tne iron works and 20 en-
ployes of the ship were on board.
Below the decks the mechanics we're
busy completing the work of changing
the vessel from a coal burning carrier
to an oil burning, oil carrier, when
suddenly one of the oil tanks blew up.
Men were hurled against the steel wall
and a sheet of fame came sweeping
into their faces. On the upper deck
men were hurled into the air or thrown
into the water. Three sailors engaged
in washing paint outside the pilot
house disappeared as the cloud Of
black smoke came up from the ship
and were seen no more.
Following the explosion the ship
sagged in the center, showing that she
Lad broken in two In the Office of the
iron works, 20 feet away, every win
dow was shattered and flying glass cut
the faces and hands of many of the
officials and clerks. AS they rushed
out into the open, survivors who were
able to help themselves were leaping
from the ship. A great crowd of me-
chanics came running out of the works.
AS soon as the panic had subsidized
these men set to work with a will to
rescue men from the burning vessel.
A stream of burning oil running from
the tanks spread out until the ship lay
on waves of ashes. The flames crept
under the wharf and soon the timbers
were blazing, adding to the difficulty
Of the work of rescue.
AS the ship was built of steel the
fire was nearly all below deck. There
were IA oil tanks containing about 400
barrels of oil and despite the efforts of
the fire department this continued to
burn fiercely for hours after the ex-
plosion.
Numerous minor explosions occurred
at short intervals but all the injury
and loss of life was due to the first
one.
The loss to the Fulton Co. by the
wrecking of the building and the burn.
ing of the wharf will exceed 5000 900.
1t is estimated that the Progresso was
worth about $4,000. The explosion
snool0 all the buildings at Harbpr View
and the shockTwas felt mile away.
Windows were broken several blocks
| from the scene.
James w. Spiers, jr., general mana
ger of the Fulton iron works, is posi-
tive that the explosion was due to the
oil and not to the bursting of the boil
er His theory is that gas generated
| in one of the oil tanks.

Seriously Injured.

Sharon, Pa, Dec. 1.-Two men were
killed, one probably fatally injured
and two others seriously hurt Wednes-
day in the South Sharon works of the

of molten metal was upset above the
heads of the men. Shortly before noon
one of the ponderous ladies conveying
40 tons of molten steel was started on
it's way along the travelling crane over
the open hearth furnaces. Slowly the
great vessel moved until when just
over the heads Of the workmen, who
were awaiting disposition Of the metal
it was seen to tilt violently, then il
emptied a portion of the contents di
rectly upon the heads of the men. Ev-
an Roberts received the greater por
ton of the fiery deluge and hardly any
semblance of a human being was left
Only the trunk was found and it was
two hours before Identification was
established. John Durbin died Wed

THE STRIKE COMMISSION.
The Hearing of the Miners Side of the
Case Resumed.

Scranton, Pa, Dec. 4.-The anthra.
cite coal companies and their en-
plOyes having failed to come to an
agreement during the Thanksgiving
recess of the strike commission, the
hearing of the miners side of the case
was continued Wednesday as hereto
fore, and unless something is done by
the lawyers of both sides to curtail
matters, its proceedings will surely
run into next year. With the reassem.
bling of the commission Wednesday,
however, there was a revival of the
talk of a settlement "out of court. :"
Nothing definite has been done and
neither side has approached the other
so far as can be learned regarding fur.
Their negotiations, but as one prOmi-
nent attorney expressed it, there is
something in the air" The lawyers on
both sides have heard the rumor, and
profess they know nothing about it,
but would be surprised if something
in the way of an agreement is reach
ed before the hearings are concluded"

A long freight train in charge OF En-
gineer John Thomas and Conductor
E. ]. Ship was on the main line at
Sunbright about four minutes before
the passenger train was due to pass
that point and in order to clear the
track the engineer of the freight ran
into siding just few hundred yards
from Sunbright. Owing to the fact
that the passenger train was very
| nearly due the freight engineer ran
with more than ordinary speed and
while running at the rate of eight
miles an hour the train struck 81
string of cars that had been left on
| the siding. Fearing that some of their
own cars might have become detached
Engineer Thomas and Conductor Smpp
went the entire length Of their train
and found that it was all right, but neg
lected to see what effect their collision
had had upon the cars which had been
standing on the siding. This neglect
was the cause of the disaster. A car
heavily laden with machinery was de-
tached from these cars and ran down
the siding until it reached the main
track and stopped with about half its
entire length across the track.
The passenger train was drawn by
two locomotives and crashed into the
| freight car while running at a great
speed. The locomotives were demol-
ished and the seven coaches were de
rallied.
Almost instantly the mail and ex'
press cars caught fire from the loco
motives and these two cars with the
baggage car and two day coaches were
completely destroyed. The two Pull
man cars were not damaged.
Frank Elliott, Of Chattanooga, who
was fireman on the second engine, was
pinned in the mass of wreckage and
| he and Richard Helm, the express mes.
senger. were burned to death.
Relief trains from Chattanooga and
Somerset hurried to tie scene with
physicians and the injured were
promptly cared for. AS soon as pos
sible the injured were taken to their
| homes
