Fatal Oil Tank Explosion.

MINNEAPOLIS, April 23.-Ten per-
sons, eight men and two women we're
killed by an explosion at the plant OF
the Northwestern Star Oil company at
the foot of Sixth avenue southwest at
about 1l:30 O'Clock this morning.
The explosion came without an in
stant's warning and a second after
the concussion the walls had been
thrown down and the entire structure
was a mass of flames. Not a person
in the Office escaped alive. Five work.
men engaged on the second floor were
thrown 20 feet into the air and these
were the only persons who escaped.
They climed through the debris and
are now at the city hospital.
Although the cause of the explosion
has not been determined, it is said
that some of the employees of the com
pany were emptying some oil tank
cars into tanks in the basement OF the
building and it is possible tn at sparks
from a switch engine ignited the in
tlamable fluids.
Several explosions followed in quick
succession and made the work Of the
! tiremen both difficult and dangerous
I he men could not approach the ruin:
and water thrown on the flames was
without effect. All the department
could do was to permit the flames tt
burn themselves out and then search
for the bodies of the dead. At II
O'Clock tonight three bodies had beer
recovered, those of Domm and Misses
Roundy and Reckard. The fire
still burning and the work of search
ing for bodies is carried on with grea
danger, for it is believed that anothe
tank filled with oil has not exploded

the body of Ben amin L. Egan. who
was lost during fierce storm between
Bolton and Coram last November,

Mr. Esan. A. II. Egan of the Illinois
Southern, who resides in Chicago and
VINO was called home owing to the
serious illness of his father, will re-
turn and remain in the district during
the search.
1t was the intention of the Egan fam
lily to meet all the expense of the ex-
pc1ition. The Great Northern, how
ever, has, through Assistant Superin-
tendent Kennedy, informed the famil y
til at the company will stand all eX.

The Western Union Quits.

SALT LAKE, April 24.-So far as
the Western Union Telegr aph com.
pany is concerned, the city OF Butte
has been wiped off the map. Acting
under instructions from New York,
manager Wild, of the Western Union
Office Of Butte, promptly at midnight
last night, cut out every instrument
working in that Office except the press
leased wire. When ''30' on night
report had been sent, this too, was
cut out, the Office locked up and the
operators relieved from futher duty.
Until the troubles with the labor
unions are settled, it is announced
that the office will remained closed.
Not only does this affect the CONNER
cial business Of the city which is large,
but also the leased press wires and
those used by commission houses.
The press report is now being sent
over the Postal Telegraph company s
lines.

The pOStOffice Investigation.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-Two inn
por,ant developments today in the in
vestiga alton of the sensational abstrac-
tion of papers from the safe OF the
Office of the assistant attorney gen
eral for the postotfice department,
which led to the dismissal of that ot1i-
cial, was the submission of what pur-
ported to be the papers to the inspec-
tion of postal officials and the deci'
sion of Postmaster General Payne i'm
mediately to relieve the acting assis-
tant attorney general, G. A. G. Chris
tiancy, from his Office pending an in
vestig gation of his conduct.
The action in the case of Christian
cy was taken at his own request. He
states that he courts the fullest inves-
tigation. Christiancy has held the
Office of assistant attorney general
since January l, 1901, and has been in
charge of the legal affairs of the de-
partment most of the time since then,
owing to General Tyner's absence,
caused by i'll health.
General Tyner's counsel today sub
mitted to Postmaster General Payne
and Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Bristow the papers which
they said Tyner claims constituted al
tn at had been taken away, but a state
ment made later by the postmaster
general, reciting the correspondence
on the subject and the submission o
the papers, declines to accept th'
statement that the papers submitted
constituted all that were abstracted.

Another Cruiser Launched.

PHILADELPHIA, April 25.-The arm.
ored cruiser Colorado was launched
today at Cramps shipy ards in the
presence of distinguished gathering
of officials from Washington and the
state of Colorado, including its entire
congressional deleg alton. Miss Cora
May Peabody, daughter Of Governor
Peabody, of Colorado, broke the bot
tie of wine on the PROV Of the cruiser
as she glided down the ways at l2:35
and into the Delaware river.
The cruiser Colorado is of new
class of vessels added to the American
navy. She is an armored cruiser of
the first class, yet she bears the name
Of state, an honor formerly only ac-
corded battleships. Coupled with tre-
mendous battery power, she has the
speed of an ocean liner.
The vessel is SOP feet long, tifty-nine
feet six inches wide, with a draft of
twenty-four feet six inches. Her speed
requirements calls for twenty-five knots
an hour for four consecutive hours.
She is fitted with twin screws, twin
triple expansion engines, which must
develop 200 indicated horsepower.
All of the armor is of the most i'm

THE CZAR'S LATEST.
Secretary Hay Sends Strong Protest to the
Russian Government.

WASHINGTON, April 27.-Russia 8
demand in Manchuria and their effect
on American interests We're the sub.
ject of a conference this afternoon be-
tween Secretary Hay and count Cas-.
sini, the Russian ambass ador, which
occurred at Secretary Hays house
aud lasted for nearly an hour. 1t is
denied that the ambass ador brought
official advices from his government,
but the fact that he is still suffering
from an attack of lumbago, which has
confined him to the embassy for sew
eral weeks, is evidence of the urgency
of the call. Steps have already been
taken by the state department to as
certain the true inwardness of Rus
sia's latest move. Ambassador Nc
Cormick, at St. Petersburg, has been
instructed by cable to present to the
Russian foreign Office a note which,
while diplom aticall known as one OF
inquiry, is in substance a strong pro-
test gainst Russia's demands. Cabled
instructions have also been sent to
Minister Conger at Pekin, to express
to the Chinese government the atti-
tude of the United States, with Rus
sia's demands, and our hope that
China will not aCcede to them. No
answers have yet been received 10
either note, though unot1icially assur'
RANGES are still reaching the depart
ment tn at American interests in Man
churia will be protected. In the de.
partment's note, which Ambass adol
Mccormick has probably presented
already, Russia's attention is callec
to assurances which have repeatedly
been given the Uuted States relative
to the preserv alton Of the integrity o.
China and the continuance of the
"open door, policy. Russia is also
reminded of the severe blow to Ameri
can trade which must follow the grant
ing of the first two demands, that nc
more ports or towns in Manchuria b'
opened and tn at no additional fOreig 81
consuls be admitted. Russia's reason
for contending for a ''closed door,
in Manchuria, is the claim that IN
"open door, is not a commercial bu
d political question.

Answers General Miles,

WASHINGTON, April 27.-The war
department today made public the re.
port of Lieutenant General Miles, who
made a tour of inspection of the
Philippines. The portion OF. his re-
port relating to beef supply was re-
ferred to General J F. Weston, COM
missary general, who in reply states:
sin my Judgment it is not feasible
or economical plan and there should
be no departure from the present sys.
tenn of supplying frozeu beef"
General Weston says his Office has
never received any complaint about
frozen beef but, on the contrary, uni.
form concentrations.
General Weston adds:
IN Native beef is out of the question,
even if it were possible to procure it,
and there would be danger in using it,
besides its being poor, stringy and
tough, but the rinderpest practically
destroyed the native cattle. The ex-
pertinent of bringing cattle was tried,
as was stated by Colonel Woodruff,
and was an absolute failure
General Weston sums up the objec.
tions to the plan in the following:
"Ihe supply Of cattle on the hoot
for the military service in the Philip
pines is not practicable, would involve
enormous expense and entail useless
loss of animal life and would serve
no useful purpose either of administra'
tion, economy or health. At least
fifty per cent of the cattle would not
survive the trip, SO that the govern.
ment would not only lose half of the
cargo but would actually pay freight
on what was lost
