HAVOC CAUSED
By EXPLOSION
Ton of Dynamite Demolishes
Property, Wrecks Bridge
and Injuries Forty People

MOUNT VERNON, N. Y, Nov. a.
The explosion Of over a ton of dyna-
mite under the Bond street bridge at
o'clock to-day shook the city and the
surrounding country within a radius
of five miles, killed at least one person
and injured nearly forty others, two of
whom may die. The man supposed to
have been killed was an Italian in
charge of the dynamite.
There were 23OO 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 a 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 railway tracks and broke all the
windows within quarter of a mile
The force of the explosion hurled large
stones for blocks. Many houses were
shifted from their foundations, walls
were stripped of plascter and furniture
was splintered.
Most of the persons injured were
caught by falling ceilings and walls in
the houses near by. Stoves in stores
and dwellings were overturned and
many fires were started, but in each
case the flames were quickly extin-
guished. The whole police force and the
fire department were called out.
Chief Of Police Foley at once arrest
ed William F. Ryan, foreman of the
gang of workmen employed on the
blasting operations, and many wit
nesses are now held while an investiga-
tion is being made into the cause of the
explosion.
The dynamite was owned by the
Egly-Bunty Construction Company,
which is doing the blasting for the rail-
road company preparatory to the es-
tablishment of the four-track system.
Those supposed to be fatally injured
are Mrs. George A Harlow and Mrs.
Nicholson and child, four months old.

PEACE TREATY
IS POPULAR
French Statesmen Pleased
With the Hay-Jusserand
Arbitration Agreement
ROOSEVELT Is PRAISED
Congratulated by Members
of Parliament for His
Efforts to Aid Mankind

PARIS, Nov. 2.-The report OF Jus
serand, French ambassador to the
United States, on the signing Of the
Franco-American arbitration treaty
was received by Foreign Minister Del
casse to-day. The latter will not sub
NIT the treaty to Parliament for rati-
fication until the ambassadors mail
report with the signed text of the
treaty arrive. However, the officials
here have made sufficient inquiry In
regard TO the sentiment of the Parlia-
ment to show that the treaty will be
ratified promptly and, perhaps, unani-
mously.
At the call of Baron d'Estournelles
de Constant. a special meeting OF the
Parliamentary group on arbitration
was held to-day to take action on the
Franco-American treaty recently
signed in Washington. There was a
large attendance of Senators and
Deputies. The following cablegram of
congratulation was sent to President
Roosevelt:
THE arbitration group OF the French
Parliament congratulates you for the
services you have rendered for the
peace OF the world by your firm sup
port of the work of The Hague con-
ference"
The meeting also sent its congratu-
lations to Lord Lansdowne and Count
Lamsdorff, respectively Foreign Min
listers of Great Britain and Russia, on
their reference of the Anglo Russian
dispute to arbitration
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The French
arbitration treaty, concluded yester-
day, will be followed by a treaty with
Italy, which, it is expected, will be
ready for signature early next week
The French treaty, while not yet rati-
fed by the cenate and consequently
not in force. is believed to be so care
fully framed as to insure favorable ac-
ton in the last stage. If this is so, II
will be the first arbitration treaty Of
general scope to which the United
States has been a party.
