One to let the union take its own course
unrestricted, and unregulated by law. and
the other to curb powers by law. Strikes
may be legitimate, he declared, but abridg-

the opinion that the stronger the unions
become the more unreasonable they are.
and cited recent strikes in Omaha as ones
brought to secure rights which are con-

sunderland decided that unions are

A FRlGHTFUL EXPLOSION
Six Men Killed at the Government
 Arsenal on Iona Island.

Iona Island, N. Y, Nov. 4.-Six men were killed and ten slightly injured this afternoon by an explosion at the United States naval arsenal. one of the largest magazines in the United States, which is located here. The explosion occurred while the men were drawing explosive charges from consignment of old shells recently sent here from the battleship Massa chusetts.
 Three massive shell houses were to- tally destroyed and a rain of frag ments of projectiles of all sizes was scattered in every direction. The force of the explosion or the series of ex- pfosions broke windows at Peekskill 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 riddIed with fragments and the quarters of the eleven marines composing the garri- son were completely demolished.
 The island, which has been used as an arsenal for years. is in the Hudson river. forty miles from New York. and shells and ammunition of all kinds were stored there.

THE NEW GOVERNMENT.
Already Calls Upon This Country for
 Recognition.

Washington, Nov. 4.-The state de- partment received a prompt request rom representatives of the revolu- tionary government at Panama that the United States recognize the new republic of Panama, but, pending off, cial advices from the United States consular officers at Panama that new government has been established ard is a de facto government, the state de- Dartment has declined to commit it. self.
 However. attention was called to the fact that 1t is the invariable policy of the United States to deal with the de facto government in any country. This statement is taken as favorable to recognition should the new Panama government have an actual existence.
 EarIy this morning news vas re- ceived of the smelling of Panama hy the Colombian gunboat Bogota, and instructions were at once cabled to the United States vice consul there to pro- test against this bOmbardment. while the commander of the cruiser Boston was directed to prevent the Bogota re- suming firing.

NEW REPUBLIC PERMANENT.

San Francisco. Nov. 4-When the steamer San Juan. which arrived here today. left Panama, on October goth. the preparations for the revolution were well under way and secession was talked everywhere upon the streets. Evidently the government has known for at least two weeks that 2 crisis was approaching.
 Passengers on the San Juan who come from Panama and various points in the Central-American republics. are agreed that the revolution which the cable reports in progress was most carefully planned and they predict its success
 They also state. according to the Evening Post, that the diplomatic rep resentatives of the United States are favorable to the revolutionists. The men at tie head of the secession move ment are friends of the Panama canal and want the canal built by the United States and maintained under the mili- tary protection of the United States.
 Among the San Juan passengers wac John Jenkins. United States consul general at San Salvador. who said;
 The indepepdent government now being formed in Panama will always remain there. The Bogota government is out of place and has no reason for d longer existence"

CHAPMAN LOST Ills GRIP
Another Deadly Street Car Accident
 in Kansas City.

Kansas City, Nov. 4-One person was killed outright and Anyone others in jured. perhaps two of them fatally, in a collision of two cable ears in a fog early today on the steep Twelfth street viaduct
 Most of the injured were shop girls. on their way from their homes il. Kansas City, Kansas. to the big depart ment stores on the Missouri side. \ The dead girl. Nellie Luscombe. aged 20, a cleri, was ktlled instantly. She was found buried beneath the de- bris Of the wrecked trains.
 \ small piece of steel the size of a pencil. had been driven into the girls skull between the eyes and the left side of her head was crushed. She was so badly disfigured that it was several hours before she was identified.
 Of the injured, Carrie Mooney. also a dry goods clerk who had both legs broken and Herman Watkins. a clerk in the Methodist Book concern. whose jaw was broken and otherwise hurt. will die. it is believed. Seventeen others were more or less seriously hurt, five of them sustaining broken limbs. The other thirtv-four injured sustained only minor cuts and bruises. All the injured lived in Kansas City or it's suburb Several of them going to school.
 The accident is due to the slippery tracks. A heavy laden train wac preceding up the steep incline when the gripman lost his grip on the cable. The train started back reaching a speed Of thirty miles an hour. The fog was so dense that it was impossible 10 see ahead. Two blocks away another train was making its way upward. The cars came together with terrific force throwing some of tke passengers over the viaduct railing to the railroad x-ar6 hollow

HE RAILROAD VISITORS
Short Stay Of President Ripley and
 Party Yesterday.

President E. P. Ripley of the Atchi- son. Topeka and Santa Fe Railway company arrived here some time Mon day night. in his prIvate car and left yesterday forenoon for Prescott and other northern points. Mir. Ripley was accompanied by Second Vice President Paul Morton. Third President J.
 ". Eendrick and MT. Dunn and Mr Peasely. officials of the same company. They were met early in the morning by j. II. Emmert. assistant to Presi- dert F. NJ. Murphy of the santa Fe, Prescott and Phoenix. and arrange n1eats were made Ger a shc.t trip to the south side. These invited to ac- company the visiting railroad men were MT Arthur P. Davis of the United States geological survey; President B. A. Fowler of the Water Users asso- ciation. and Mess-s. AnewaIt Storey and others Of the santa Fe. Prescott end Phoenix officials.
 About 8:30 o'clock in the morning the party left the Santa Fe. Prescott and Phoenix deDOt for q ride to Mesa via the Phoenix and Eastern Arriv- ing there the party strolled up to the center of the town and back again while the train was being turned round and then returned immediate ly to Phoenix. At 10:20 o'clock the special left for the north via the Santa F'e. Prescott and Phoenix, bearing all the gentlemen named except Mr. Fow- Ter. He was invited to accompany the party. but the fact that he had to leave for the east today and had some un- finished business to attend to before going made it impossible for him to accept. He felt. too. that in any ccn- ference that might affect the interests of this valley and any questions that might be asked NIT. Davis was very competent and certainly willing to speak for the people of the Valley in the giving of information. The visit of railroad men of such prominence naturally cXcites interest and specula- ton respecting its purpose. Primar- fly, of course. it was an official trip of inspection cf Santa Fe properties and connections generally But it is no violation of confidence to say that the conference with Mir. Davis and Mir. Fowler was to ascertain frcm them their views of the practicability of con- structing a railroad nearer to the Ton to basin dam than is now afforded by any point in this valley. The possi- bility that such a line might he prac- ticable was suggested editorially by the Republican recently, but it can be said that so far everything in that di- rectiOn is still in the air.
