OVER TON OF DYNAMITE
EKPLODES AT Mt. VERNON
ONE KILLED AND NEARLY FOR-
TT OTHERS INJURED.

Explosive stored at Side Of Deep Rock
Cut Running from western Limits of

Hartford railroad station--AII VIM
dows Broken within Radius of a
quarter of Mile.
Mt. Vernon, N. X, Nov 2-The ex-
plosion Of over ton Of dynamite under
the Bond street bridge here at o'clock
to-day shook the city and the surround
ing country within a radius Of 1--WE
miles, probably killed at least one per-
son and injured nearly forty others,
two Of whom may die. The, man sup
posed to have been killed was an Ital-
ian in charge Of the dynamite. He was
seen at his post of duty Just before the
explosion and no trace of him has since
been found.
There were 2,30O pounds Of dynamite
stored at the side Of the deep rock cut
running from the western limits of the
city to the New York. New Haven and
Hartford railroad station, which was
used for blasting path for additional
tracks. The explosion tore a hole in
the ground eighty feet deep that is now
full of water from a hidden spring,
wrecked the Bond street bridge over
the tracks and broke all the windows
within quarter Of a mile. The force
OF the explosion, as is usual, was down
ward, but the upheavaI along the sides
cf the cut hurled large stones for
blocks. Many houses were shifted from
their foundations, walls were stripped
of plaster and furniture was splin-
tered.
A heavy train bound from New York
was just pulling out Of the Mt. Vernon
station when the explosion occurred,
and the engineer stopped until the track
was clear. In another minute this train
/ would have reached the bridge.

Japanese Raid Russian POsts-Get Car
goes OF Furs.

London, Nov. 2.-It is announced
from Gibraltar that the experimental
land and sea mobilization is now con-
cluded. According to a story published
in the Chronicle, this alarming expert
ment was the outcome of new ideas
which Admiral Sir John Fisher has
taken to the admiralty. His conten-
tion is that tests in times Of peace are
much less valuable than when war is
in the air. Accordingly, the Chron-
icle says, he seized upon the incidents
of Tuesday as a psychological oppor-
tunity to test the nerves as well as the
skill and efficiency of the forces.
1t is reported that the channel. Med
iterranean and East Indian squadrons
have received instructions to shadow
Admiral Rojestvensky's feet through
out its progress.
Admiral Rojestvensky is expected to
arrive at Tangier this morning.
A British man-of-war at Malta is bus
lily coaling, preparing to watch the Sec

The Daily Mail, in a letter from
Hakodate, describes Japanese schoon-
ers returning with valuable cargoes of
furs, the result of raiding the Russian
fshing station at Kamchatka and
Commander and other island rookeries.
There had been fierce fighting with the
Russians, and many were killed on
both sides. In one case after fight
lasting three days, the Russians cap
tured three Japanese vessels, killing
half their crews and taking the remain
der prisoners.

A. Mcclellan Mathewson Introduces a
New PIan-ImpracticabiI of Fur
ther Depressing Cut--Ex-Mayor Dris-
coll says City Cannot Share Expense.
The room in city hall set apart for
public hearings by aldermanic commit
tees was filled last evening with an
animated and earnest throng Of citf-s
zens drawn thither by the hearing on
the railroad "cut' problem before the
committee on railroads and bridges.
An almost numberless variety Of views
of the matter were taken by the vari-.
Gus speakers.
Mr.. Whittlesey introduced a map to-
illustrate the plan presented by the
Chamber of Commerce from which he
expounded the plan for constructing
the railroad across the harbor and down
through Railroad avenue. The plan
does not call for an elevated structure.
Joseph Porter, chairman of the.
Chamber Of Commerce committe, stat
ed that in an interview with President
Meilen he had virtually guaranteed
that if this plan was adopted it would
no cost the city more than 100000.
"A. Mcclellan Mathewson brought
forward an entirely. new plan. He pro-
poses to run the tracks from the pres
ent station along the water front to a
point near Brewery street and thence
in straight line to the Cedar Hill
station. To avoid grade crossings the
road is to be constructed on an em-
bankment but an elevated line is not
included In this plan. Mr.. Mathewson
stated that from investigation into the
subject which he had made he believ-
ed the property damages resulting from
the adoption of his plan would not ex-
ceed $4S1 900. He also said that he had
I,outlined the plan roughly to Mr.. Mel
L len, who had said thatsit would be ac-
ceptable to him provided the city would
agree to meet the additional expense
involved over the cut" Improvement.
Attorney George D. Watrous, repre-
senting Mr.. Mellen, stated the COM
pany's exact stand on the matter. He
said that the remarks about the COM
lpany being unwilling to consider any
other plan than the original one of
widening the cut was not correct. Mr..
Mellen, he declared, was willing to ac-
cept any plan provided the city would
pay the additional expenses over and
above the cost Of the improvements
previously contemplated by the railroad
and $300,0 900 which the road was willing
to pay for two feer additioni head

give the city quit claim deeds to the
cuts owned by them. This does not

WEST VIRGINIA,S TRIAL.
New Armored Cruiser Exceeds Her
Contract Speed.

Boston, Nov. 2.--With perfect wealth
er and sea conditions, the armored
cruiser West Virginia to-day went over
the Cape Ann course for her official
four-hour speed trial, and developed an
average speed Of 22.14 knots per hour.
The contract with the United States
government, for whom the vessel was
built, called for a sustained average
speed for four hours Of twenty-five
knots per hour.
The officials of the Newport News and
Dry Dock company, builders of the
warship, had been hopeful that the ship
would accomplish better time, but it
developed that the port engine could
not reach the highest speed attained by
the starboard engine, and this affected
the average in a considerable degree

Another Arbitration Convention VIII

washington. Nov. 2.-The French
arbitration treaty, concluded yesterday,
was followed by a treaty with Italy,
which, it is expected, will be ready for
signature early next week. The French
treaty, while not yet ratified by the
senate and consequently not in force,
is believed to be SO carefully framed as
to insure favorable action in the last
stage. If this is. 50, it will be the first
arbitration treaty of general scope to
which the United States has been g
party. There have been various spe-
ciaI arrangements, such as the Bering
sea arbitration, that providing for the
adjustment of the Alaskan boundary,
the Venezuelan claims settlement, and
the like, but each and all of these We're
limited in operation to one subject ana
they expired as soon as that subject
matter had been dealt with.
