AT McDoNALD's THEATRE.
Negro Performers Pleased Two
 Large Audiences.


 Black Paths Troubadours. who were at McDonald's Theatre yesterday matinee and last night, not only sent the crowd of negroes who saw the performances into ecstaces, but they pleased and en- tertained a large number of white people who occupied the lower floor of the play house.
 The management of the Black Patti Troubadours, using the reputation of Sis seretta Jones as a drawing card, has assembled the best musical. comedy and Athletic specialists among American ne- groes and the work of a number of the performers last night was not only pleas ing but was really artistic.
 It is a vaudeville entertainment pure and simple. It consists of songs, dances and sketches. The predominant feature of the performance was the work of the chorus. The voices, both male and fe- male, are not of the untutored. simple melody making quality of the old plan tation darkey, but are capable. In no in- stance last night did the chorus last vol- ume or quality.
 The finale of the entertainment is an arrangement of selections from grand and comic operas. The rendition by the chorus of the Sextette from Lucia was particularly effective.
 Black Patti apears but little. Toward the middle of the erformance she comes on and uses her fine, high soprano with good effect in classical work
 Among the comic performers deserving mention are William Nichols, a mimic, who had to answer to repeated encorcs, Ward and Dobbs, sketch artists. and Rob- ert A. Kelley, who has Billy Kersands easily beat at his own business. mono. loguer.
 In the first part. which is set for ''The Darktown Circus" the chorus had oppor- tunity to show its ability in light music in accompanying the various members of the company in coon songs, which were introduced throughout the skit.
 Mack Allen. the slack wire artist. who delighted the audience last year. repeated his success. Aliens work Is done neatly and let 1t suffice to say that as a slack wire stage performer, he probably has moi an equal

SIX BLOWN TO DEATH ExPLoSION IN ARSENAL AT
 IONA ISLAND N. Y.,
Old Shells From the Battleship Mas. sacheusett Were Being Unioaded
 when the Accident Occur red-Seriss of Denonations.

Lona. Island, N. Y., Nov. 4.-Six men were killed and ten slightly injured this afternoon at the United States naval ar senal one of the largest magazines in the United States, which is located here.
 The explosion occurred while men were drawing the explosive charges from a consignment of old shells recently sent here from the battleship Massachusetts.
 Three massive shell houss were com pltely detroyed and a rain of fragments of projectiles of all sizes was scattered in every direction.
 The force of the explosion, or series of explosions, broke windows at Peekskil, three miles below. on the opposite side of the Hudson, and the detonation was heard for many miles. Adjacent build ings, including two storehouses for fixed ammunition, were riddled with the frag- ments, and the quarters of the eleven marines composing the garrison were completely demolished.
 The dead. all Of whom were workmen employed by the Naval Ordnance Depart ment, are:
 Fred Ward, Stony Point; George More- head, Tomkins Cove; Fred o. Locke, Peekskill; Patrick Curran, West Haver- straw; Fred Brown. Haverstraw; James Connolly, Peekskill.
 The bodies were frightfully mangled, fragments being hurled for hundreds of feet.
 The island, which has been used as an arsenal for year, is in the Hudson Riv- CT. forty miles from New York, and shells and ammunition of all kinds were stored there. The detonation of part of the charge of shell being unloaded in shell house No. exploded all the other shells in the house and the fragments of shells driven into the adjoining houses exploded their contents.
 There were two main explosions. with an interval of several minutes between and a succession of minor ones as indi- vidual shells went off. Fire followed and for several hours the marines fought the | flames in imminent danger from constant | ly exploding shells. Physicians and nurses from West Point, Peekskill and Haverstrawahurried to the island and at- tended to the injured, one of whom was | seriously hurt.
 A large amount of fixed ammunition stored in twoTbuildings from which the roofs were blown did not explode, and the two main powder magazines were at the other end of the island out of danger.

GREAT FLOATING DRY DOCK
Huge Affair 60 he Ralit and Towed 60
the phillpptnea.


Huge Affair to he Ralit and Towed "a
the Philippines.
The largest steel floating dry dock
IN the world, to tioat the largest battle
ships. aud one that Is to be towed iS.,
)00 miles to the Philippine Islands will
be built for the government by the
Maryland Steel Company. The dock
Is TO be 800 feet long and OF extra
strength and weight. weighing 10000
tons principally TO enable It TO stand
a voyage half way round the world
The dock will cost si,l2l,00o aud will
be twenty.seven months In building,
The builders are to deliver the great
structure on the Atlantic cost and the
navy department win take up the ~
gantlc task OF getting the dock TO Its
destination.
When the Maryland Steel Company
undertook to deliver the Alglers dock
At New Orleans four tug boats took
the dock down the patapsco. yet the
headway was just perceptlhle, says
the Baltimore American. The dock
put to sea In tow q a steamship and
two sea tugs. making only four knots
an hour. Il was said that the tow.
bill was $4,000 aud that $4,000 In.
suranee on the dock was paid for the
voyage. The dock will have to be
towed across the Atlantic ocean,
through the Mediterranean sea, down
the SueE Canal and Red sea, across
the Indian ocean and up the China
sea to Manila, II four knsts an hour
10 made II will require lHl days for
the voyage II no stops are made, which
will be impossible, owing to the towing
ships having to recoal or wait for
good weather. The tow will be the larg.
est and longest in history.
The Alglers dock lifts 1900 tons,
ls 800 feet long. weighs 6,S65 tons and
cost $4,000, The new Manila dock
Is TO lift from 1900 to 1900 tons. Is
to be 500 feet long, but viii weigh TO-.
900 tons and will cost Sl,lc4.OOo. II
will consist OF three pontoons that
will form the flooring OF the deck and
two side wahs, all OF steel. In the
Algiers dock these hve sections are
bolted together and are separable. but
In the new dock the sections will be
made permanent. The dock Is to be
a self-docklng one. the largest pontoon
being the middle one.
In order to dock this section the
smaller outer pontoons will be sunk
under the middle pontoon and then
pumped out, raising the larger section,
The self-doeking system OF the Ma.
nila dock will be different from that
OF the Algiers dock.
The dock must lift battleshlps two
feet out OF the water--a situation that
increases the stability of the ship az.
ten or twenty times. To sink the dock
to receive a ship water is admitted to
compartments in the hull through
about twenty valves admitting a vol.
ume OF water as large as mans
body. occupying about an hours time
The Aigiers dock has lifted the bat
tleshlp Illinois In one hour and fifty
seven minutes. The dock will be con.
structed In an excavation near the
beach and when II is ready to be
launched the strip of land holding
back the Patapsco will be cut away.

structure will float.
