yards. Some bodies are still in the ruins. 1t is
feared that the death roll will include twenty
names
Parts of the exploded boilers were blown
through the roof, ana continued a hundred yards
or more in their flight. Other fragments tore
out the front of the building and crashed into a
car shed across the street almost demOlishing
the structure. Fire. which added horror to the
disaster. quickly extinguished and the
work of rescuing the living and removing the
dead carried on by hundreds Of willing
hands.
The fire imperiIled the lives OF one hundred
clerks at work on the second floor of ad-
joining building. Their escape was cut off by
the debris which the concussion heaped on the
stairway. Strangely. though, another effect Of
the explosion saved them. One Of the boilers
shot UP through the roof of the refrigerating
plant and to the westward, striking the building
in which the clerks were, and making an open
ing in the wall. through which many jumped
from the burning structure to the ground
Thousands of persons We're attracted to the
scene of the disaster by the noise of the ex-
plcsioD and the report. which spread like Wild
fire through the stock yards district, that thirty
lives had been lost The live stock show, which
was in progress in the Immediate vicinity of the
explosion, was deserted in a few minutes. The
rapidity with which the rescuers worked in re
moving the debris remarkable.

in the stock yards district We're pressed into
service. and more than one Thousand employees
went to work uncovering the dead and e~trl-
eating the injured.
The injured persons were removed from the
scene quickly in private vehicles belonging
TO the various packing concerns that 1t was i'm
possible to learn the exact number. Many OF
the injured were carried to the office Of SWIFT
& Co.'S physician, where their wounds we're
dressed.
The throng OF spectators about the scene OF
the explosion augmented at noon two hours
after the explosion, when the various packing
houses poured forth their hundreds of employees
The crowd became dense that extra piatoons
of police had TO be sent out to fight the curious
people back so that the work Of rescue could
be carried on effectualy-
The cause of the explosion is mystery The
boilers had not been inspected recently Inc
loss is estimated at $1,000.

CANAL BILL is PASSED
NICARAGUA ROUTE INDoRsED.
Only Two Votes In the Negative Re-
corded.-Panama Concession
elected.


Washington, Jan. 10-rhe Hepburn
Nicaragua canal bill passed the House
late yesterday afternoon by practically
an unanimous vote. Only two mem
bers out of 80 voted against 1t.
Messrs. Fletcher, Republican. of Min
nesota, and Lassiter. Democrat, of Vir-
ginia, We're the two voting in the nega
tive.
The opposition to committing the
government to the Nicaraguan route
attempted to secure amendments TO
lodge with the President the discretion
ary power to purchase and complete
the Panama canal, if it could be pur-
chased for S40,00O.OOO. The test came
on the first vote. when the advocates
of an alternative route polled 1O2
against 10 votes. At each succeeding
vote their strength dwindled until Mr..
Cannon of Illinois. under whose lead
ership the fight was made, was unable
to get the ayes and noes on n motion
to re-ocmmit. All other amendments
failed and the bill was passed exactly
as it came from the committee. None
of the votes except that on the final
passage of the bill was n record vote.
The bill as passed yesterday author
lies the President TO secure from the
states of Costa Rica and Nicaragua, in
behalf of the United States, control of
such n portion of the territory belong
ing to said states as may be desirable
and necessary, on which to eNcayate,
construct and prospect n canal suit
able to the wants. of modern naviga-
ton and commerce, and appropriate
such sum as may be necessary to
secure the control of said territory.
Section authorizes the President
after securing control I of the needed
territory, TO direct the secretary of war
TO construct such canal from the Carib-
bean sea, at a point near Greytown, in
Nicaragua, by way of Lake Nicaragua,
to point on the Pacific ocean near
Brito. and also to construct proper har-
bors at the torminl of said canal and to
make necessary provisions for the de-
fense of the canal and harbors.
Sections and 4 authorize the Pres
ident to make such surveys as may be
necessary and 20 employ such persons
in constructing the canal as may to
him seem wise, and direct that in the
construction of the canal the River San
Juan and Lake Nicaragua shall be
used as far as they shall be available.
Section authorizes the President 90
guarantee to the states of Costa Rca
and Nicaragua the use of the canal
and harbors. upon terms to be agreed
upon, for all vessels owned by said
states and citizens thereof.
The last section makes n present ap-
preparation of S1O,OOO,OOO to carry on
this work, and authorizes the secre-
tary of war to enter into proper con-
tracts for material and work as may
be deemed necessary therefor, such
work and material to be paid for as ap-
preparations may be made from time to
time. The section fixes the aggregate
cost at $50. 0.0OOOOO, to be drawn from
the treasury on warrants of the Presi-

Estimating Coal supply.

A banking house in New York has
made an estimate of the coal which re-
mains in the anthracite beds of Penn
sylvania, and finds that there are
still 5,073, ,775. 900 tons unmined. These
beds are, with Insignificant exceptions.
the property of eight railroad corpora
tions, which expect to mine 5O.OOO,OOO
tons this season. At this rate the coal
would last about 100 years; but the
consumption of coal is constantly in
creasing, and If the estimate of the
banking house is correct the anthra-
cite field of Pennsylvania will be ex-
hausted long before the end of the
century.
While this coal is at present the
most accessible and of excellent quail
ity, there are other anthracite deposits
which may be brought into general
use within a few years that will re-
move all anxiety concerning the sup
ply. The bituminous and semi-bitumi-
nous coal deposits are practically in
exhaustible, and they extend from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, some of the
southwestern states and territories
being to large extent beds of coal.

Rn,ber from areasewood.

The ingenuity of Yankee inventor
has devised a use for that humble and
unlovely shrub of the western deserts
known as the "greasewood." 1t has
been found to contain gum that af-
fords valuable substitute for rubber
The method of obtaining the gum,
which has been newly patented, con-
sists in bruising the woody stalks of
the greasewood, soaking them in a
solution of carbon disulphide, and then
drawing off the liquid which is dis
titled. The chemical used as solvent
is driven off by heat, and there re-
mains in the bottom of the vessel a
gummy stuff, flexible and elastic.
Finally, the gummy stuff is washed
and purified, the result being a very
fair substitute for Tndia-rubber-so
good, in fact, as to suggest the notion
that some day the American deserts
may be made to yield very satisfactory
profits In the production of raw ma
terial for gum shoes and bicycle tires.
