BIG DYNAMITE EXPLOSION.
Three Killed and Many Injured. Near sar
Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. io.-In a terrific
explosion c: the hudson dynamite works
near Point Richmond, this afternoon three
men were killed q nd many were injured.
Fire from the wrecked buildings spread
rapidly, and just before o'clock second
explosion occurred, completely demolish-
ing the works. Scores Of rescuers were at
work at the time Of the second explosion,
and II is feared that the list Of dead and In
jured may be very great. San Francisco
was shaken by the explosion and windows
were broken by the force Of the conclusion.
The dead are w. r. Endris, foreman OF
the nitroglycerin mixing house; Charles
Olsen, employed In the mixing house, and
Herman Felix, another employee.
Supt Nelson, Foreman Kruger and E. A.
Bowel organized fire brigade and braved
great dangers In an effort to prevent the
flames from communicating to surrounding
buildings and, for time their heroic work
seemed destined to be successful, but the
second explosion caused even greater havoc.
Fifty or more employees Of the works
were fighting the fire caused by the first
explosion when the second came. Many OF
them were crowded around the house that
blew up, the nitroglycerin storage house.
and the death list may be swelled.

RUMORS OF A NEW ROGERS r. r.
Boston Hears That He VIII Control Bulk OF
New England's Coal.

BosroN, Aug. ia statement was cir
o,lsted In the financial district to-day
outlining what purports to be a scheme Of
H. H. Rogers for bringing Pocahontas and
New River coal over q new rail and water
route to Boston, and distributing 1t through
New England.
It was said that the Massachusetts gas
companies would undoubtedly secure their
future coal supply from this source, and
that Mr. Rogers afil atoms In New Eng
land could get him contracts for supplying
the New York, New Haven and Hartford.
the Boston and Maine and Boston and
Albany railroads, the Boston elevated
railway and many large industrial con-
Germs with coal.
One feature mentioned was that Mr..
Rogers's new railroad-inoorporated In West
Virginia as the Deep Water Railroad and
In Virginia as the Tidewater Railroad
Is being built without outside financial as :
sistsn oe, and will constitute an independent
line parallel to both the Norfolk and West
ern and the Chesapeake and Ohio, between
which lines the bulk OF New England water
route coal traffic Is now divided.
It Ia asserted that this line will tap about
100 600 acres Of coal land, which MIR. Rogers
now has In the New River district, and that
It will drop his coal at Norfolk, where 1t
Is stated he has acquired extensive ter
mir ais, preparatory to brin ging coal by
water to Boston with his own line OF
steamers and barges.

SUIT TO SWALLOW HARLEM.
The Initial Bite IL Made st One Edge Of
the Polo Grounds.

William w. Delameter has begun two
actions In the Supreme Court to obtain
possession OF property at i65th street and
Eighth avenue, where the Polo Grounds
are. The defendants In one action ar
Thomas F. Brennan and Harriet G. Coogan
and In the other the National Exhibition
Company and Mrs. Coogan, who is the wife
OF James j. Coogan. Mrs. Coogan Is in
Newport Just now, and Supreme Court
Justice Greenbaum granted permission
yesterday for the service Of the summons
on her by mail and publication.
Delameter alleges that he formerly
owned In fee simple a one -hundredth
interest In the lot on which Brennan's
saloon stands, at tho corner Of 16Sth street
and in the land that forms the Polo Grounds.
He transferred and decided, he says, all
his right, title and interest therein to tho
Union Association Of Heirs of Harlem,
on March IL, 1901, but has been unable to
NAL . delivery Of the property because
OF the occupancy Of the defendants. He
asks, therefore, that the court determine
the value Of his interest and award him o
Judgment for that amount. A lis pendens
was filed against each piece Of property
yesterday.
These suits are supposed to be q new
move In the attempt Of q number Of hope
full persons to obtain possession Of all
Harlem under an alleged deed dated back
couple Of hundred years or more. Thomas
G. Shearman Is Delameter's lawyer.

which the careful administration Of foreign

CROKER READY TO FORGIVE.

Special Cable Despatch 10 TEE SUM-
LONDON, Aug. lot was evident to-day
that Richard Croker had received word
from his daughter, Florence, who Is said to
have eloped from Aix-les-Bains with an
Italian. A correspondent Of The Sun saw
him to-day on his return from the races at
Kempton Park. Yesterday he was talka-
tive. but to day was almost dumb. Tho
reporter asked him II he had any tidings
Of his daughter. He answered, Il can't
say
MIR. Croker was in most amiabie mood.
He parted all questions in a non-committal
manner, smiling all the time.
From friend Of Mr.. Croker 1t was
learned that he had received all the details
Of his daughters escapade. He was aware
OF her whereabouts, but the friend was as
seoretive as the father and wouldn't say
where the runaways were except that they
were not in London. 1t Is believed, judging
from Mr.. Cookers attitude, that II he finds
the Italian q suitable choice he will treat
the elopement as a romantic episode illus
trative Of the tendency Of Croker to have
his own way. He certainly shows neither
grief nor anger.

BABYLON, l.. l., Aug. le.-The State pier
was damaged to-day by John Seymour. ~
years old, patient at Muncies sanatorium,
who escaped from custody. Seymour Ia a
resident Of Wantagh. He has been under
treatment for some times but never showed
any signs Of violence until to-day.
He escaped and wandered to the pier
which has belonged to the Government
Of the State since Gov. Flower purchased
the Fire Island Hotel for quarantine pur-
poses years ago, Seymour obtained a
lever and began ripping the pier to pieces.
He had succeeded In making quite hole
In the flooring when an officer responded
TO an alarm and took him In custody
Seymour was arraigned before Justice
Cooper, who later paroled him In the custody
OF his father. Seymour appears to ha We

here In Portsmouth that the peace confer
enoe would be over before the sun had set.
The Russians firmly believed that the end
had been reached.
But whom the conference reassembled
Baron Komura and Mr.. Takahira did not
hand an ultmatum to Mr.. Witte and Baron
Rosen. They made no answer at all.
They said merely: Let us talk It over.'
They are still talking 1t over, and the longer
they talk the stronger is the prospect Of
successful outcome. 1t will be seen. from
this that the Japanese ENJOYS did not come
to Portsmouth merely to say accept our
demands without change or tho war shall

the astute Mr.. Sato, their official mouth
piece: I'VE came here to discuss peace.
not to dictate terms" They are appar-
emily imbued with the spirit OF compro-
mise, and there is no reason to lose hope OF
an amloable adjustment.
The Japanese ENJOYS have been criticized
for their insistence upon the observance
OF secrecy as to everything occurring In
the conference room. They were firm upon
this point in the face of probable knowledge
that the Russian ENJOYS we're anxious to
give as great publicity as possible to the
proceedings: 1t has dawned upon the
world recently that there is a reason for
everything the Japanese do, and in this
may be found the explanation OF Baron
Komura and Mr. Takahiras desire to
close the mouths OF themselves and their
adversaries by solemn pledge not to talk
OF the peace deliberations to those not
officially concerned.
II the japanese envoys thought 1t might
become advisable to recede from some
Of the conditions they laid down at the be-
ginning Of the conference they were anxious
ma turally to prevent the world and par
tioularly their own people from detecting
wherein they had given way to the Rus
SLAMS. This could only be accomplished
by keeping strictly secret the language
Of Japan demands, for il treaty should be
concluded 1t will become public property
and the chance OF comparison would be
afforded.
The very fact that Japan refused to have
her conditions known to all other nations
is regarded by those whose opinion Is worthy
OF mention as evidence that she has in
tended from the first to make peace ct

thing tonight that must be regarded -
distinctly encouraging.
1T is my unqualified personal opinion

Mr.. Sato never made so definite state
ment before, and while his words were
given as purely unofficial utterance their
significance cannot be overlooked at this
time Of uncertainty as to what the Jap
anese ENJOYS intend to do and particularly
because they come from man as cautious
and as discreet as Mr.. Sato.
