AMERICAN GUNBOAT bennington
BLOWS UP AT SAN DIEG0--ALL
ON DECK INJURED
ONE MAN ESCAPED
ONE OF THE WORST DISASTERS IN
HISTORY OF THE AMERI-
CAN NAVY

SAN DIEGO, Cal, July 21.-The
boiler on the gunboat Bennington.
which is now lying in this harbor,
exploded at 1890 a. m. The entire
ship was blown up so that it is seen
to be listed heavily.
Capt. Lucien Young reported at 1
O'Clock that every man on deck was
injured by the explosion and between
forty and fifty killed.
The ship rapidly settled after the
explosion and was towed to wharf
by tugs. Every available wagon on
the waterfront was called upon to
bring the dead and wounded to the
morgue and hospitals. There are now
twenty eight men at one hospital
and seven of the dead are at the NOR.
que.
The Bennington is a gunboat of
the third class and ID sister ship to
the Yorktown. 1t is of LILO tons
burden, twin screws, has six guns in
its main battery and carried 176 men.
The accident today was one of the
most frigt tful disasters in the histo-
ry of the American navy, almost ii
valing the blowing up of the Maine
and the horror at Samoa. The shock
occurred at 10:30 this morning, when
one of the boilers of the gunboat
Bennington, which had just arrived
to tow the crippled Wyoming back to
the Mare Island navy yard, blew up
blotting out the lives of between forty
and fifty of Uncle Sans sailors and
injuring all the other men on the YES
sci at the same time. The only man
to escape 30 far as known, is Capt.
Lucien Young. Practically the entire
inner portion of the little fighting
craft was blown out. Immediately
after the shock of the explosion the
Bennington listed heavily aud began
to settle. Tugs hurried to its assist
ance and it was towed to a wharf.

FIRE SWEEPS ENTIRE BUSINESS
SECTION WITH LOSS OF
$65.000
WORK
THE FIRE WAS EXTiNGUISHED BY
BUCKET BRIGADE BRINGING
WATER FROM WELLS

ENDICOTT WASH, July 21-Fire
destroyed practically the entire busi-
ness portion of Epdicott late last
night. This district is nothing but
smouldering ashes today. A few
business houses are left including the
general merchandise store of Huntly
Bros, the most important store in
town. The fire destroyed the main
business district containing 19 differ
ent business houses and firms.
At 11:1O M. j. Rumbaugh, hotel
keeper discovered fire in the old and
vacant building of the Gem barber
shop and by 1890 all the buildings
were a mass of flames. There is no
doubt that the fire was of ipcendlary
origin.
The water supply here is simply
from private wells. The bucket brig
ade worked hard and faithfully. No
wind was blowing and thus the dang
er and difficulty were greatly decreas-
ed
Mayor T. b. Logtons says that
many of the unfortunate losers will
erect building and build up the town
Oh stronger and safer basis than be-
fore. The city incorporated last Feb.
ruarv and now has an ordinance estab-
fishing a fire limit. Corrugated iron
and brick buildings will replace the
old wooden buildings. He believes
that the town will be bigger and no
doubt much better than ever before
Endicott is a shining and rapidly
growing town in one Of the best wheat
belts of the Palouse and the business
men are able and determined to re-
build their city. Last year Endicott
took in 63, 900 bushels of wheat and
Mayor Logston predicts 100000 this
year. The population of the town is
about 450.
The total estimated losses from the
fire will aggregate $e5, 200, with $2s,
900 insurance.

Stung to Death by Bees.

HILLSBORO, July 21.-David
Campbell, a pioneer of 1858, was stung
to death by bees last evening while
removing honey from hive at the
home of j. M. Grear of this city.
The deceased was an expert at hand
ling bees and was ganeally in demand
for these services.
The bees swarmed out Of the hive
and attacked Campbell on the fore
head, face and temples, and he must
have fallen unconscious at the very
first attack. Two physicians were
called but the man could not be
aroused from his stupor, the poison
having entered his system.

PREDICTION FOR TOMORROW Is
SHOWERS. THUNDER STORMS
AND COOLER WEATHER

SPOANE. Jnly 22.-The hot wave
of the past three days reached a eli
max in the Inland Empire yesterday.
Reports from all over Eastsrn Wash
ington show that while there has been
some damage to late sown grain, the
damage is not extensive yet, and at
several points grain has not been in
jured at all.
While the high temperature was un
usual for day in July, it was not ac-
companied by hot winds, which are
most feared in grain growing sections.
In North Yakima the temperature
went up to 106 degrees, and there was
one prostration. Pendleton leads all
other points for high tempera ture,
with record of ia degrees. Thun-
der storms and rain were forecasted
for last night and today.
Following ara reports of weather
and crop conditions in several Of the
principal grain growing sections:
NORTH YAKIMA, July 2l.-This
is tn hottest day ever recorded in
North Yakim in the month of July.
The government thermometer, kert by
H. B. Scudder of Mckee registered
106.
DAVENPORT July 21-Three days
of unbroken heat. The temperature
registered SO in the shade today.
Some farmers are of the opinion that
late sprirg wheat is slightly damaged
and that the yield will be slightly
lowered. Fall and early spring grain
is not damaged. At no time did hot
winds accompany the hot spell.
LEWISTON, Idaho, July.-Old Sol

Farmers Holding Wheat for an Advance.

DAVENPORT, July 2l.-There
have been no sales Of the new wheat
here as yet. The farmers are not Off
ering to sell and the grain men are not
offering to contract. One firm has
offered to pay SO cents for little
club and 63 for bluestem, bat no
trading has been done. Last year at
this time there was considerable act
ivity and many thousand bushels had
been contracted for. At the present
time there seems to be a prevalent
feeling that the price will advance

JOHN F. COYLE DEAD
Veteran Newspaper Man Ex-
pires in New York.
TYPE OF OLD SCHOOL
GENERAL PHYSICAL COLLAPSE
INCIDENT TO HIS OLD AGE.
Once Owned Local Newspaper and Was
Friend of Prominent Men
Throughout Country.

The death of John F. Coyle, veteran
newspaper man of this city, was announced
in a dispatch from New York last night.
1t was stated that he had been a patient
at St Vincents Hospital in that city for
several weeks and his death was due to
physical collapse incident to his age,
eighty-four years, the immediate cause
being blood poisoning.
Mr.. Coyle went to New York early in
the last presidential campaign. Being an
ardent democrat he sought employment at
the national democratic headquarters and
was engaged by the party managers, and
welded his pen in behalf of Parker and
Davis. The fact that he had been an in
innate personal friend of Samuel J. Tilden
gave him high standing at the democratic
headquarters. and his friends say his work
for Parker and Davis was of a high order,
being based on the old-time ideals of the
party in the days of Jefferson and Jack
son.
Al one time Mr.. Coyle was part owner of
the National Intelligencer of this city, and
from 1915 to 1876 he was a prominent figure
in political circles here He was terms
of personal intimacy with President Andrew
johnson as well as Samuel J. Tilden, who
he almost invariably referred to as 'l'reSi-
dent Tilden." it being his belief, frequently
and openly expressed up to the time of his
death, that political knaves cheated Sam
uel j. 1llden out or the presidency.
Away back in his early days John F.
CoyIe was "a singer and he had repertoire
of old-time songs which made him vel
come addition to the social functions of
his day One of his favorites. which he
gave both as a song and recitation. was
known as Dimes and Dollars" and short
ly before his departure for New York, while
spending the evening with a friend, he was
induced to recite 1.-THE piece. as he termed
IL in old-fashiOned phraseology, and the
host on that occasion says he can yet hear
Mr. Coyles CHEEKY voice as in words OF
patbos. he said:

CHARACTERISTICS OF JAPANESE.
Lecture by Baron Kaneko at National
Rifles Armory

The National Rifles armory was the scene
of large gathering last night. the occa-
sion being a lecture the characteristics
of the Japanese by Baron Kaneko, under
the auspices of the National Geograp hic
Society.
Baron kaneko took his auditors back
1900 years, to the first Introduction of Chi
nese civilization into Japan, and said that
his people of today were misrepresented.
even in the circle of scholars and scientists,
as an initiative race. This" he said, sis
caused by the failure to distinguish between
the outward appearance of human activity
and the inner workings of a mans mind.
We appear outwardly a race OF imita-
ton, but the inner working of the Japa-
nese mind is very different to what it APP
pears to the foreign eye When we come
in contact with foreign civilization, we pass
through three stages Of thirst, imitation;
second, adaptation; third, Origination.
"One may ask said the speaker. what
are the aspirations of the Japanese for
the future? 1 answer that by using our
natural ability we may be able to bring
out new type of civilization in which the
two phases of occidental and oriental will
meet not in conflict, but in harmony. Thus
Japan might have at least one fruit of
her earnest and unceasing efforts to con-
tribute to the progress of mankind"
