Your committee further finds that Of this num-
Der of 600 purported signers who have fur
nished this necessary Identification there a
number who have signed the purported petition
more than once. and only thru lack of time
does your committee feel justified in failing
to ascertain and report the exact number and

ascertained are H. C. shober, who signs as

LARGEST SINGLE
EXPLOSION KNOWN
Five Hundred Thousand Tons
OF Stone are to be
Removed
AT A sIsGLE DYaa;;lTr BLAST

Portsmouth, N. H., July 21.-The
last section of Henderson's Point, con-
tanning about 10000 tons of rock, will
be blown up with fifty tons of dyna-
mite at high tide tomorrow. It will
mark the conclusion of one the most
difficult engineering feats ever accom-
plished, and will open the way for
large warships to the Portsmouth
navy yard. The work was begun three
years ago and 100000 tons of rock
have been taken away. There Is just
one big section left, which the con-
tractors have arranged to remove by
the use of dynamite, one OF the lar
gest explosions ever attempted.
There have been drilled In the last
remaining section of rock about 800
holes, anywhere from fifty to eighty
feet deep. These have been filled
with the explosive and will be ex-
IIoded by three circuits, with pow
erful electric battery many yards
away. All of the buildings in the i'm
mediate vicinity have been removed.
The nearest building left standing is
the big naval hospital, from which
the inmates were removed today.

history of the American navy, except
ing the sinking of the Maine, at Ha-

the spectators were Mortified to see
bodies and human fragments hurled
high in the air. The next moment
bleeding sailors were fighting, Grip

a less sudden form than that of some

black with CRIME and smoke. Every

Washington, July 21. - Through
their own choice the Russo-Japanese
peace commissioners will be ma
rooned by the United States gov.
ernment in a big barnlike structure
in the middle of an island off Ports
mouth, N. H.
The comparative inaccessibility of
the place particularly appealed 10
the envoys. It is connected with
the shore by only one bridge, which
is 900 feet long and is guarded at
both ends by sentries OF Uncle Sam,
While the plenipotentiaries are in
session they may be absolutely sure
that they will not be disturbed
either by newspaper men or by pry-
ing diplomats of other nations.
There is nothing ornate or elegant
about the building wherein the great
est international problem of modern
times will be thrashed out. When re-
Gently finished it was intended to be
merely a store house for naval sup
plies. It is 200 feet long and 80 feet
wide, three stories in height, of
brick and steel, fireproof construc-
tion, and cost $125,000 1t contains
one large room in which the sessions
of the joint commission will be held,
and a number of smaller apartments
suitable for Offices for the clerks,
