CREWS NARROW ESCAPE.
Twenty Men Barely Get Away With
 Their Lives.

40CAL A4NC6s
 New York, July 29.-Twenty men conn posing the crew of the tramp steamer Eastry have had a narrow escape from death. Rushing from a burst of flame, caused by an explosion of sulphuric gas in the hold of the ship, which was moored in the Erie basin. the men made their way up black, smoke-filled hatchways and, half smothered, plunged into the water.
 It is asserted that the explosion dis closed the fact that for a week there had been burning within the harbor a mine of flame that constituted a source of the utmost danger to much property ashore and afioat in New York bay.
 The generation of infiammable gas, which started hundreds of miles out at sea two weeks ago, and with which the captain and his crew had fought in vain was permitted to go on, 1t is alleged, be- cause there was not sufficient pumping power on the craft to quench its forma- tion.
 Deep down in the hold, which was stor- ed with iron pyrites, a mineral which generates under sufficient heat copious quantities of sulphuric acid gas, was a miniature volcano. Early today a sud- den roar occurred on board the ship and q cloud of smoke and dust poured from the hold.
 The crew scrambled to the deck and plunged overheard. They reached the docks safely and a fire tug, hastily sum moned, lowed the vessel into the stream where she was thoroughly saturated with water The loss Is not known.

POLICY OF REPRESSION.
China Undoing Work of Upheaval
 of 1Q0(

| Ol l0OOs Pekin. July 2s-The Chinese who are ad- vocating Government reforms have been terrorized by the readoption Of the old policy of repression as instanced by the recent arrest at Shanghai of Chinese edi- tors on charges of sedition.
 These arrests are interpreted as lnoi- eating that the extreme conservatives are in the ascendancy and the Government has determined to suppress the freedom of speech which has prevailed since the up" heaval of 1900.
 The names of forty residents of Pekir who are accused of liberal tendencies were presented to the Dowager Empress today by the reactionary officers and who recommended severe punishment. Those accused are considered guilty of only in what in enlightened countries would be termed legitimate criticism of the Gov ernment This Is said also to be true of the native journalists imprisoned at Shanghai. except in the case of two of them who suggested the assassination of the Manchua rulers as a remedy for Chinas troubles.
 All foreigners and progressive Chinese express the hope that the ministers will refuse, on the ground of humanity, to deliver the prisoners to the Chinese for probable torture and execution.
 Prince Ching is reported to favor leni- ency. At the examinations recently held at Pekin for the selection of officers, many of the candidates departed from the usual custom of writing merely scholarly es- says and submitted papers favoring im- provements In the Government. All who pursued this course were refused offices on the advice of Chang Chi Tung.
