The Corvallis times. (Corvallis, Or.) 1888-1909, 1903-11-04
the dense darkness, terrible panic
prevailed among the tenants of the
house, many of whom evidently
had fallen over the furniture in
their apartments and met their
death by sufocation.

Crestline, O., Nov. 1.-Crestlina
and vicinity was turned into a
panic tonight by a terrible explo-
sion at 8 o'clock. Many buildings
were shaken ard in some instances
the walls fell. Church congrega-
tions were thrown into screaming
masses of humanity. People who
we're at home were terrified by the
fearful roar that was heard.
Two cars of dynamite which ex-
ploded in the Pennsylvania yards
was the cause Of the Excitement
Hundreds of P-n,eylv MIA en-
ployes are at worK searcn ng for the
dead or injured. The entire west
yard of the road is a complete
wreck. Officials of the railroad
have said ths loss is about 45 cars.
Where the explosion occurred
hole 20 feet wide and twice as long
was torn in the ground.
Men at work mile away were
thrown from the track. In the
down town portion of the city there
is not building that has not suf-
tered considerable damage. Many
persons who we're on the street were
cut and otherwise hurt by flying
glass and numerous women are in q
serious condition from shock and
concussion.
All of the physicians of the city
are at the scene of the explosion to
assist those whosnay be found in
jured. The sidewalks are Uttered
with glass from the shattered panes.
All the churches were holding
services when the explosion occurr-
ed. Doors were blown off and
windows smashed in many of the
buildings but the full extent of the
loss to property will not be known
for many days. 1t cannot be learn
ed until daylight whether there has
been any loss of life.
The wrecked cars are burning.
The explosion was plainly heard so
miles away.
All the switching crews of the
Pennsylvania yard have been ac-
counted for. There are thirty tracks
in the Crestline yards, all of which
have been more or less damaged.
The main tracks are piled ten feet
high with dirt, bent rails, car trucks
and other railroad machinery.

ple's rights. Those who believe in the. Kansas City platform are not ashamed of the part that they have played, and they do not intend to surrender the control of the party into the hands of those who have openly antagonized those principles and who boast of their intention, if successful, to take the par- ty back to the position which 1t occupied under MT. Cleveland's $ adninistra ton.
 All that the friends of the Kansas City platform ask is that all questions be submitted to the voters in order that the policy may be determined by the voters, and to this end they propose to organize and marshal. their forces at the primaries. They know by bitter experience that they have powerful and cunning enemies to rneetenemies who are not only in close and constant com- munication with the monopolists in. trade and finance, but who will employ republican methods of coercion, decep-, tion, and corruption wherever those methods can be employed. No amount of abuse or vilifcation will deter the friends of the Kansns City platform, for they have an interest in the pre-
 servation of their partys virtue and in the protection of their country from the assaults of predatory wealth. .--The Commoner.

A DRY REGION.

The reputation of being the dryest spot on earth is claimed by many spots in many times. The latest claimant IS Payta, in Peru, place about five de-. grees south of the equator on the coast that has risen forty feet in historic times. Professor David G. Faidfield, recent visitor, reports having reached there in February just after a rain or more than twenty-fougs hours, the first for eight years. The average interval between two showers is seven years. Sea fogs are common. Of about nine species of plants noticed seven were annuals and their seeds must have re mained dormant in the ground TOT eight years. In spite of the lack of rain, the long rooted Peruvian cotton is grown in the dried up river bed, furnishing crop in the dried up river bed that yield subsistence to the na- tives.-Liverpool Post.

SHAMROCK III. OUT YESTERDAY,
Sail-Stretching Spin to Prepare for To-
 morrow's Race.

Sail-Stretching Spin to Prepare for To-
 morrow's Race.
 Gourock, Scotland, May S.-The weather to-day was we'll suited for racing, but Shamrock III. remained at her moorings.
 Later in the afternoon Captain Wringe, anxious to give the challeng- CTS sails a stretching before to-mor- rows set race, went out with her alone. The yacht made a couple of trips from Gourock to Holy Loch and return and negotiated a slight sea well, in a fresh breeze, standing up excellently under her canvas. The new spars stood the strain and showed no sign of weakness. The new boom is strong CT and stiffer than the old one; but it is not heavier, as aluminium fittings were used instead of the steel fittings employed on the old boom.
 The course for to-morrow's race has been measured and laid off from Gou- rock.

WITH THE LEGISLATORS.
HOUSE HELD STORMIEST SES-
 SION OF THE YEAR.
Two Important Matters Defeated by
 AdjournmeDt-No Pension for Police nren-Com mittees Increased Ina Size
Other Business.

Hartford, May S-The house was the only body to meet this morning, but it's session was one of the most stormy of the session.
 x On Thursday the New London Gas and Electric company's charter was amended, being passed from the calen- dar. The amendment was vigorously opposed. To-day was its only opportu- nity- for reconsideration. Exactly the same situation obtained in regard to the vaccination matter.
 After an uproarious refusal by the house three times in succession to ad- journ MT Wakelee. of Sotuhbury, at i1:30 demanded a count, which showed Speaker Kenealy declared the house adjourned.
 This action created a stormy scene, as it made impossible the future reconsid- eration of other matters, the reconsid- eration party in both the vaccination and New London Gas company matters filing the corridors in heated debate, while the friends of the two bills were proportionately jubilant. It was the first occasion in three sessions that the lack of a quorum has been utilized to prevent reconsideration of any matter before the house.
 A resolution incorporating the Fair field County Trust company, with head quarters at Bridgeport, was tabled for calendar.
 The bill providing for the pensioning of policemen was rejected.
 The resolution appropriating S10,000 for the Law and Order league was re- ported unfavorably, but no action was taken.

MIR. BRYAN's POSITION.
Friends of the Kansas City Platform Will Fight in the Primaries.

" III l6Ill tllC ..
 The reorganizers assume that the men who supported the Chicago and Kansas City platforms are ready to go back and apologize for their party's position. This is a groundless assump- ton, and is known to be so by those who make the assumption. There has been no change among the voters; those who were opposed to a financial system made by the tinanciers for the financiers, are still opposed to such a system; those who were opposed to a high tariff, even when the reorganiz- CTS were supporting a high protection ist for the presidency, are still against a high tariff. Those who were opposed to the trusts even when the leading reorganizers were helping to elect an administration, pledged to the trusts, are still against trusts; those who op- posed government by injunction, even when the leading reorganizers were helping the corporations that rely upon government by injunction are still op- posed to this tyrranical process of the court; those who opposed imperialism, even when. the leading reorsanizers were willing to surrender the Declara- tion of Independence at the demand of Wall street,, are still opposed to the separation of our people into citizens and subjects. r'- ~* E.,
 If Mr. Bryan were to remain silent in order to escape hostile criticism, his silence would not change the convic- tions of those who voted for him; if he were openly to join the reorganizers and proclaim a conversion to the opin- ion of those. who seek to republicanize the democratic party, he could not car- ry a dozen men into the opposition camp. He would simply forfeit the confidence and excite the contempt of ] those who supported him. The contest . between democracy on the one side and plutocracy on the other, is still on, and the result of that contest means much ! for veal or woe to the American peo- ! pie The democratic party ought to be | kept democratic in order that it may be an efficient instrument in the hands of the people for the protection of the peo-

 Glen Cove, L. l., May S.-Both of the Americas cup yachts, Reliance and Columbia, left their moorings shortly after 10 a. nl., Reliance from New Ro- chelle and Columbia from Glen Cove. Reliance got a gentle wind from the southeast, and slowly started off to the Sound, and then hove off to the eastward, bound for Bristol to get a new suit of sails and to be reitted. Her tender, Sunbeam, wetn off ahead oS her.
 Columbia lay becalmed for more than one-half hour at Glen Cove, and was then lowed off into the Sound by her tender, Park City, to get in company with Reliance. It was evidently the purpose of Mir Morgan to have brush with the new boat to-day, and sail in company with her to Bristol. Colum- bias tender left when she was mile astern of the new boat. Both were nearly becalmed at 11:15 a. m. Reliance soon afterwards got light air from the southeast, and went off to the eastward at about a seven-knot clip. The breeze was steady with Re- liance but for three-quarters of an hour, during which Columbia had sail ed about five miles, Captain Miller of the older boat changed the size of his jib topsail four different times in a vain effort to catch the f1ckle breeze Meantime Reliance drew steadily away from Columbia, and at noon had in- creased her lead by about two miles and was then nearly three miles ahead of Columbia, sailing in a very much better breeze than the older boat could find. Captain Miller of Columbia then gave up the chase, put about, and ran
