BRITISH KING LEAVES ROME.
Great Demonstration as His Cortege
Passes Through Streets.

ROME. April Boxing Edward left Rome
today for Paris, amid tremendous fare
we'll demonstration. The streets were
crowded and the windows and balconies
were filed with people. Detachments OF
troops kept back the crowds and permitted
the passage of the cortege. The king, with
great ceremony, bid farewell to Queen
Helena, who was surrounded by the MEM

King Edward wore a British field mar

Their majesties were most enthusiastically

At the railroad station there was a large
gathering of distinguished personages.
King Edward was especially cordial in his
reply to the greeting of Premier Zanardelli
and Prince Colonna, the mayor of Rome,
thanking them for the reception accorded
him by the people of Rome. To the premier
the king added that he hoped the friend

NINE WORKMEN DEAD
Terrible Explosion at Cresson
Powder Works
NEAR HOLLIDAYSBUR r
MORE EXPLOSIONS ARE EXPECT
ED TO OCCUR.
People of the Vicinity Have Fled to
Places of Safety-Rescue
Party Formed.

HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa, April 3O.-The
plant of the Cresson powder works, owned
by Pittsburg capitalists, and located on
Piney creek, ten miles south Of this town.
was wrecked by an explosion today. Eight
workmen were killed. The dead: Ross
Kennedy, Charles Ross, George Fay, Tony
Fabrico, an Arabian; William Lyons, Frank
McKiernan, Fisher Lantzer. Frank Straes-
ser. Superintendent Harry Taggart Of
Pittsburg is fatally injured.
The powder factory is located in a re-
mote portion of the county, and authentic
details are unobtainable at present Near
the factory are the limestone quarries Of
the American Wire and Nail Company,
where 500 men are employed.
Quarrymen Seek Safety.
These quarries have been deserted by the
fleeing men, and all who live in the neigh
borhood are hurrying to places of safety. In
the magazines and store houses of the fac
tory are 400 blocks of explosives, and it is
feared the greatest explosions are yet to
come The Piney Creek branch of the
Pennsylvania railroad runs past the fac
tory, and because of the danger the rail-
road company has refused to allow any
trains to pass over this branch.
Fourteen men and sixteen women were
employed in the factory which was de-
stroyed. Most of them were brought from
Pittsburg. They are regarded as experts in
the manufacture of powder. The women
managed to escape from the building before
the explosion came that hurled their fellow
workmen into eternity. All were cut and
badly burned. The force of the explosion
was so great that it wrecked all buildings
in the vicinity and broke window paEes in
towns five miles away. A rescuing party
has gone from Williamsburg to the scene of
death and destruction.
The cause of the explosion is a mystery.
The eight men killed were blown to pieces.
The remains have been brought to Will
iamsburg Superintendent Taggart was
the only man in the factory who escaped
alive The buildings caught fire imme-
diately after the explosion and are still
burning.
Dare Not Approach the Fire.
Because of the immense quantity of dy
Mantle stored in the plant the rescung
party dare not approach the fire, and an
other explosion is feared.
house owned by VIM. Treese, located
near the factory, was wrecked by a second
explosion, which occurred about an hour
after the factory was blown up. The
Treese family barely escaped with their
lives.
The list of victims has been increased to
nine. Andrew Gabrillac, foreign laborer
was found dead 100 feet from the factory
There are two store houses belonging to the
plant, both of which are now in flames. In
one storehouse there are 40 pieces of dy-
Mantle, and in the other storehouse 800
boxes, with a capacity of 100 pounds to the
box The dynamite in the houses was suf-
nclent to level every house and make DESC
late the territory within a radius of five
miles. The first two explosions occurred in
the factory where there was only a COM
paratvely small quantity of explosive.

WARsHIPs SENT TO THE RESCUE.
Chinese Mob Attacks a PARTY of
American Engineers,

The State Department has received a
cablegram from United States Consul Cen
eral McWade at Canton, dated yesterday,
saying that mob of anti-foreign Chinese
had made an attack at Yuan-Tan on North
river 40 miles from Canton, upon a partv
OF American engineers. The consul i'm

lying In the stream. and that officer went
Immediately to the rescue of the party of
Americans The consul general meanwhile
lodged formal complaint with the Chinese
officials.
If the attack had been made upon any
other Americans than engineers, the State
Department would be inclined to regard it
as very grave matter, because 1t would
indicate an uprising of a Boxer character
IN that populous section of China which
was free from disturbance during the for
mer uprising Of 1900. 1t is, however. con-
1ectured that the engineers in the course
or railroad construction or some similar
work have run counter to some intense Chi
nese superstition by invading grave ward
or In some fashion committing a sacriIege
in the Chinese view.

REGARD CRISIS AS PASSED.
Official View of the Manchurian Cues
ton.

Count Cassini, the Russian ambassador,
called at the State Department today and
had a very long interview with Secretary
Hay, in which the whole matter of Man
churia was understood to have been fully
and frankly discussed. The discussion
throughout was most amicable and salts
factory.
The Japanese minister, Mr.. Takahira
called Immediately after Count Cassini' 8
departure. and he also discussed Man
churia. The Japanese, it appears, at first
alarmed and indignant over the demands
ascribed to Russia in the first Peking dis
patches. are now taking more sober view
of the situation. and are finding much COM
fort In Ambassador McCormicks dispatch
from ST. Petersburg conveying Russia's dis
claimer of improper purposes as to Man
churfa.
The official view here is that the crisis
has been passed for the moment, although
the greatest vigilance will be exercised in
watching the developments in Manchuria.

BOILERS OF THE MAINE.
Can Be Repaired at Cost Of
$4,000

The naval board. composed of Comman-
ders Perry. Bailey and Canaga, appointed
to examine the battleship Maine, have
made a preliminary report which Is very in
teresting to the authorities. They find that
the water tube boilers can be repaired at
a cost of about $4,000, SO they will be given
another trial. Appliances will be fitted to
turn off the steam from any section de-
sired from a position on deck, thus reduc-
ing the danger of scalding the men.
The turret' supports have been found ef-
fective, but they also can be strengthened
without heavy outlay. The department is
rather pleased that this weakness has been
discovered. 70 1t enables it to- correct in
time the plans for a number of big battle
ships and cruisers now under construction
which embodied similar details to those
found defective In the Maine.

TO BE GIVEN SERVICE MEDALS
Officers and Men Who Served in Three
Recent Campaigns.

The War Department has decided to issue
service medals to all the officers and men
of the regular army who participated in
the Spanish war. the Philippine insurrection
and the Chinese campaign. Artists and Of
ficers of artistic taste have been requested
to submit designs for the medals 1t is es-
timated that about 25,OOO medals will be re-
quired to meet the purpose. In the absence
of specific appropriation the expenses at
tending the preparation of the medals Will
be met out Of the appropriations for cloth
ing and equipment.
1t is probable that the Secretary of War
will renew his recommendation that Con-
gress make provision for the issue of SINH
lar medals to the officers and enlisted men
OF the volunteer establishment who partici-
pated in the three campaigns selected for
recognition.

Reaches Seat Of Trouble.
Don't Try to Cure HemorrhOids with
External Application.

When it is such a well-known fact
that hemorrhoids or piles is a disease
originating in the morbid dilatation of
the veins of the lower part of the rec
tum, it seems incredible that people
afflicted with this painful trouble
salves and washes, when the diseased
parts can only be reached by an in
ward application.
The suppositories used in Pyramid
Pile Cure are composed of the most
soothing and healing oils and lotions
known to Materia Medica, and act on
the diseased veins and surrounding
tissues like magic, giving almost in
slant relief. The dilated blood YES
sells are relieved, the irritation of the
mucuous membrane ceases and bleed
ing is stopped.
The predisposing causes of piles are
such as produce fullness of the hem
orrhoidal veins and impede the return
of blood from Them such as constipa-
ton, sedentary habits, city life, preg-
nancy, corsets, etc; in fact the causes
are all fully covered in the very in
teresting little book published by the
Pyramid Drug Company, Marshall,
Mich, and the same will be sent free
to any address upon application.
The general principles of treatment
are, according to the evident causes.
dcIlNe naDltS, attention 10 dlet, ana
other hygienic rules etc. avoidance Of
constipation and each night the injec-
ton OF Pyramid suppository to heal
and cure the afflicted parts.
That this treatment has been effec-
tive is instanced by the testimony of
thousands of people who have been
permanently cured and by the evidence
of druggists; the case of Mr.. Samuel
Gouldie, 526 Moyamensing avenue,
Philadelphia, is a fair sample.
For twelve long years l suffered
terrible torture from piles. had been
under two surgical operations, once In
Cleveland, Ohio, in the year 1895, and
once in Toledo. Ohio, in 1900, and also
tried a number of salyes and ONT
ments from different doctors. I at
last found a permanent cure by only
using two so cents boxes of Pyramid
Pile Cure. The first two or three ap-
plications gave me relief at once. l
am now entirely cured and thank God
for finding such medicine as the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure"
