announced the summary dismissal of James
N. Tyner, assistant attorney general for
the Postoffice Department. and charged
that all the papers and records in the safe
of Tyner's Office had been distracted by
Mrs. Tyner, wife of the discharged officer,
with the assistance of others. The post
master general says that Mrs. Tyner has
refused the demand of the government for
the return of the papers. and said circum-
stances In the case would be submitted by
him to the Department of Justice to-mor-
row morning. Other developments are ex-
pected to follow. The question of arrests
Is now under consideration and will be

Hon. James N. Tyner, Assistant Attorney
General for Postofice Department:
"Sir-You are hereby removed from the
office of assistant attorney general for the
Postoffice Department.
'I deem 1t proper to give you the reasons
for this summary action on the part of the
department. Early in the month Of March
1 communicated to you, through a mutual
friend, a request for your resignation.
After a painful interview with you, and a
more painful one with Mrs. Tyner, / con-

resignation so that it might take effect

you were given leave of absence from the
time Of the acceptance of the resignation to

standing that you were not in any way to

office.

AND SEVEN INJURED BY AN EXPLO-
SION IN AN OIL PLANT.
President, General Manager, Cashier,

Among Those Who Perfshed.

MINNEAPOLIS. April 23.-Eight men and
two women were killed and seven persons
injured to-day by an explosion at the plant

The injured are VIII Larson, laborer;

Joseph Livingston.
The explosion came without warning, and
a second after the conclusion the walls had
been thrown down and the entire structure
was a mass of flames. Not person in the
office escaped alive. Five workmen on the
second floor were thrown twenty feet in
the air. and these were the only persons
I'm the building who escaped. They crawled
through the debris and are now at the City
Hospital.
Although the cause of the explosion has
not been determined. IL is said that some of
the employees OF the company were empty
ing some oil tank cars into the tanks in
the basement OF the building and IL is pos
sible that sparks from a switch engine
ignited the infammable fluids
Several explosions followed in quick sue
cession and made the work OF the firemen
both difficult and dangerous. The men
could not approach the ruins. and the water
thrown on the flames was without effect.
All the department could do was TO permit
the flames to burn out and then search for
the bodies OF the dead. The bodies of Domm
and Misses Roundy and Record have been
recovered.
The fire Ii still burning. and the work of
searching for the bodies is carried on with
great danger. LOSS $4,000.

and do not feel inclined to enter into further
discussion or controversy with him on the
matter at issue. Indeed, / have not, as
yet, had time to carefully read Mr.. Parry's s

PEKING, April 23.-Russia has demanded
ceding to her the sovereignty of Manchuria
and excluding other nations from that
country. The Russian charge d'affaires, M.
Plancon, has informed Prince Ching. presi-
dent of the Foreign Office, that no further
steps in the evacuation of Manchuria will
be taken until this agreement is signed.
Prince Ching refused the Russian terms,
but his refusal probably pleases Russia as
well as his acceptance would have done.
because either alternative means the re-
linuuishment of Chinese sovereignty in
Manchuria. The Russian demands are as
follows:
First, no more Manchurian ports or towns
are to be opened; second, no more foreign
consuls are to be admitted into Manchuria;
third, no foreigners, except Russians, are
to be employed in the public service of
Manchuria; fourth, the present status of
the administration of Manchuria is to re-
main unchanged: fifth. the customs re-
ceipts at the port of Nieu-Chwang are to
be given to the Russo-Chinese Bank; SIXTH
sanitary commission is to be organized
under Russian control: seventh, Russia is
entitled to attach the telegraph wires and
poles of all Chinese lines in Manchuria, and
eighth, no territory in Manchuria is to be
alienated to any other power. No explana-
tion has been given to the Chinese of the

While the foregoing demands were be-

the only reason for the delay in restoring
the government of Nieu-Chwang to the
Chinese was the organization of the sani-
tary commission.
There has been considerable feeling in
British circles over the appointment of a
Russian commissioner in Nieu-Chwang, but
