STEAMER BLOWN UP.

London, April st is believed that
the steamer Bambara on her first trip
from Marseilles to Dakar, French west
Africa, with a cargo OF $4,000 pounds
of gun-powder and two cases of dyna-
mite, was blown up at sea and found
cred. Lloyd's says there is reason to
fear this has occurred although no con-
frmation is at hand. The Bambara
has not been reported from Gibraltar
although she should have been sighted
there March 81. The captain of the
French schooner Assumption of Mar
settles reports that on March 81, when
sixty miles off the Isle Du PALMER, he
saw a brilliant flash of light which
was followed by a loud explosion. The
captain of the Nina makes a similar
report. The crew of the Bambara
numbered 35 men and she carried six
passengers.

LABOR UNIONS ARE TRUSTS.

Of Texas.

They are Made So by the New Law
Of Texas.
Austin, Tex, Apr. S~.-According to
the new antitrust law, signed yester-
day by Governor Lanham, labor unions
are trusts and can be prosecuted as
such. The law went into effect as
soon as the governors signature was
attached to it.
1t is the most sweeping piece of
legislation in regard to combinations
and monopolies in the history of the
state, and differs radically from all
former laws on the subject. Every
kind OF combination can be proceeded
against under the act.
The labor leaders of the state recog-
nized the fact that the ley act would
render unions amenable as trusts, and
they made a tremendous effort to pre-
vent the inclusion of a phrase under
which the unions could be prosecuted,
Great pressure "a brought to bear
on the legislature, but all efforts tc
have the clause regarding labor unions
stricken out were unavailing.

clare all differences with the employees

New York, April Sd. Pierpont
Morgan is planning to build a splendid
art museum and present it to the
American nation. Mr.. Morgan's pri-
vate art collections are by far the
rarest and most extensive owned by
any individual in the world.
The most valuable of the treasures
of this muniicent collector are now
abroad, scattered over continental
Europe and England.
The bette noir of American art col
lectors-the tariff has so far stopped
Mr.. Morgan from transporting his art
objects to this country. If he were to
give his treasures to a public institu-
ton they could be brought in free OF
duty.
II was learned from one Of Mr.. Nor
gan's friends that the ambition of Mr..
Morgan is to create a great art instl'
tuition which shall be monumental in
scope and which shall contain the very
cream of the available art objects OF
the world. The addition which Mr.
Morgan is now making to his home at
Madison avenue and Thirty-sixth street
will contain but a small part of his art
collections.
This much can be said definitely
said one of Mr.. Morgan's friends, land
that is that Mr.. Morgan is by nature
one of the most philanthropic men II
the world. He has not made his vas
collections with a view to keeping
them secluded for the personal enjoy
ment of himself and his friends, bu
he cherlsnes the ambition of making
his collection the most beautiful ant
valuable in the world.

THE FAMOUS WABASH INJUNC-
TON IS DISSOLVED BY COURT

st. Louis, April 81 nthe United
States district court today Judge
Adams handed down a decision which
dissolved an injunction granted March
8 restraining the officials of the Broth
erhoods of Locomotive Firemen and
Trainmen and other labor leaders from
influencing in any way or ordering the
men employed on the Wabash system
to strike. A temporary injunction was
granted by Judge Adams on allega-
tions made by the officials of the Wa
bash system that the defendants were
conspiring to interfere with interstate
traffic.
f. N. Judson, special counsel for the
Brotherhood, stated to an Associated
Press representative that he n Col
onel Blodgett, general solicitor of the
Wabash, were making an effort to
bring all the parties interested togeth'
err, and, in his opinion, an amicable
agreement had been reached and there
would be nc strike.
Colonel Blodgett was apparently de
pressed by the decision. He said ii
was too early to say if an appeal would
be taken.
In his decision Judge Adams analyz
ed the bill of complaint, and says the
provisional restraining order was MADE
without notice to the defendants under
the stress of facts disclosed by the bill
and was fully authorized by the revised
statutes of the United States, and Wa'
