death BYEXPLOSION
dELIGNITE In THAWENG EOUsE
AT ROSSLAND, B. C.
Fifteen Hundred Pounds Exploded
Through No Known Cause, Killing
John 8. Ingram--scores OF People
Hurt and Many Buildings Damaged
Center Star Co. Heavy Loser.

Rossland, B. c., Dec. 18.-At
o'clock Saturday afternoon 1000 to
1900 pounds of gelignite in the thaw-
ing house of the Center Star mine ex-
ploded through no known cause, kill
ing John s. ingram, formerly chief OF
police here, and injuring several scores
OF people. ingram was foreman blaster
and his death removed the only DOS
sible source of information as to the
cause OF the explosion. His body was
recovered from the debris badly man
gled. Lockhart, assistant diamond
drill operator, who was at work under
the Center Star Offices, was struck by
flying glass, which cut his nose off
cleanly. Several members of the of.
flee staff and men in the compressor
building were hurt by flying glass or
by being thrown violently against the
machinery.
A partial list of the injured follows:
e. M. Brown, badly cut about the
head; Mrs. M. E. Purcell, badly cut;
Mrs. George Cain, cut about the face;
Mrs. Leary Donahue, badly cut and
bruised about the fact and neck; Will
liam Tomlinson, face badly cut. Many
were more or less slightly injured by
falling glass. g
Buildings Badly Shattered.
The buildings in the immediate vi
cinity were twisted out of shape and
the windows, all broken. The big War
Eagle boarding house is badly dam
aged, some OF the inmates being in
Jured slightly. In the city the shock
OF the explosion caused much conster-
nation and did a large amount of dam
age. Nearly all plate glass windows
on Columbia avenue were smashed,
many people receiving cuts from frag-
ments. Merchants had Christmas
goods displayed, much destruction be-
ing wrought among these.
The amount of glass destroyed is
enormous and heavy importations for
repairs will be necessary. The citi-
zens feel thankful, however, that the
loss OF life and property was not
greater. The Center Star, War Eagle
and lie Roi mines will be shut down
for a few days because of injury to
the steam and air pipes and COM
pressor machinery and the practical
wreck of buildings containing them.
The damage can not be exactly ap-
praised, but it is thought it will reach
probably $50,0U0.

The result of the prayer meeting

Of Commissioners for Foreign Mis-

society Of the American Board, which
has distributed millions of dollars.
Since the first meeting of five persons,
its corporate and honorary members

AUTOMOBILES ON HIS FEET.
French Inventor Can Travel IS Miles
an Hour.

French Inventor Can Travel 25 Miles
an Hour.
Parisians were startled recently by
seeing big booted man whizzing
along Avenue Champs Elysee and Bots
de Boulogne at the rate of rs miles
an hour. 1t was Constantine, inven-
tor OF motor boots, displaying his new
footwear.
The boots resemble tiny automo-
biles, 15 inches long, fixed on high
boots. Each has four rubber tired
wheels, eight inches in diameter. Ac-
cumulators are carried in a belt. They
transmit by wires one and one fourth
horse power to each motor. The mo-
tors can be run at speed ranging
from six to 80 miles an hour. Each
boot weighs 16 pounds, but as the feet
are not lifted up the weight does not
matter.
Constantine claims to have travelled
several hundred miles with them. He
intends to travel from Paris to st.
Petersburg on them. When asked
what happens if one motor started at
the rate of six and the other at the
rate of 30 miles an hour, he became
diftident and declined to discuss the
subject.

Roosevelt Gives High Officials Strict
Orders.

President Roosevelt has taken up
the matters connected with the 18TH
milan canal, as developed by debate in
the senate during the first of the week.
He is determined to prevent further
criticism of the character put forward
by Senators Tillman, Culberson and
others.
Senators Allison and Hale both
members of the appropriation commit
tee, were present. The president made
it plain to Mr.. Shonts that the literary
bureau in charge Of Secretary Bishop
must be at once discontinued and Mr..
Bishop confine his services purely to
administrative matters. He also dis
cussed the ACCESSIBILITY of reducing his
salary from the $4,000 now paid to
$4,000, or some other moderate sum. It
was also made apparent to Chairman
Shonts that if he still has an official
CONNECTION with the Glover Leaf rail-
road, il must be severed Immediately.
Senator Tillman declared that Mr..
ShoRts is still active president of the
system and neither Mr.. Shonts nor
any of the administration senators
have entered a denial Of the declara-
ton,
The president further gave Mr..
Snonts much advice regarding the con-
duct of affairs on the isthmus. 1t is
prescribed in the presidents orders
that the canal commission must leave
at once for that place.
The bill appropriating $11 100000 for
the canal work, passed by the senate
yesterday, provides that within 80 days
the secretary of the treasury must fur
nish estimates to the senate and house
appropriations committees of all
salaries paid those employed on canal
work except laborers and unskilled
laborers. This feature of the bill
was discussed with Senators ALI
son and Hale. 1t is believed that
many reforms will be instituted in the
administration of the canal before an
other appropriation is requested from
congress. This work of reform must
begin at once, as Secretary Taft says
the $11,000,000 now being obtained will
last no longer than the first of April
at, the outside.
In the meantime Senator Tillman
wiAh Begin strong agitation after the
holiday recess for thorough investi-
cation of the entire canal situation. He
will be opposed by the republicans, but

to cause much trouble unless matters
are put on such basis as to prevent
just criticism.

Then the engine, tender, express and
mail cars were cut off, run down the
track and stopped. One man stood
guard over the train crew, while the
second attached explosives to the ex-
press car doors. Both doors were
blown from their fastenings.
The bandits attacked both safes in
the express car. One is known as the
through" safe and is built into the
car at the Shops. Its contents are
locked up at the point of departure
and only removed at the terminal. The
strong box was shattered and its con-
tents removed. The local safe, to
which the messenger has a key, was
then shattered and such valuables as
it contained were taken out. The ex-
press messenger and mail clerk were
in the dining car at the time.

armed. They were of medium height,
