SCORE OF WoRKMEN HURT.
Big Steam Pipe Exploded in Glucose
Plant.

NEW YORK, May 22.-A score of men
employed In the engine and dynamo rooms
of the New York Glucose Company's plant
in Shadyside, N. j., on the west bank of
the Hudson river, opposite 10th street, this
city, We're more or less injured today by
the explosion of a big steam pipe. The roof
of the building was blown off and the
wreckage caught fire.
Somesof the thirty men who were at work
in the building had narrow escapes from
death, but were taken out OF the blazing
ruins by their -laborers from ad-
joining buildings belonging to the same
company
In the confusion which followed the ex-
plosion many reports of serious loss of life
were spread among the relatives of the
employees thus exaggerating the extent of
the disaster. The eompanys force and To-
cal fremen fought the flames which threat
ened to destroy several other buildings in
the big glucose plant.
Two fire boats were summoned from New
York. and when they arrived further ef-
forts were made to quench the fire. A 49,
inch water main, which was installed by the
glucose company for fighting fires, burst
when the explosion occurred and was of
no use in supplying water to fight the
flames.

OPPOSED EIeHT-HoUR BILL.
Views Of Representative Of the Car
negie Steel Company.

A. c. Hayden, representing the Carnegie
Steel Company, opposed the eight-hour bill
today before the House committee on labor
He said the enactment of the measure
would drive every large institution now
taking government contracts from that
field, would turn over the manufacture of
the supplies of the government to the small
contractor and would increase the cost of
the same to the government from 121a to
2o per cent.
The Carnegie company, he said, at one
time made the experiment of changing its
factory method from two shifts of men
working twelve hours each to three shifts
working eight hours. The result was that
the product of that factory decreased 20
per cent.
Another decided objection mentioned was
that under the bill, as drawn. IL a laborer
should by any chance or by design work
one or two minutes over time and the gov
ernment inspector should see him and re-
port the case, the employer would be sub
ject to the penalty provided for violating
the law, although he might be entirely inno-
cent of any design to do SO. More than
this, he said the bill was so drawn that it
made the inspector the final arbiter; the
courts could not go back of the report of
the Inspector

PLOT AGAINST CAOERES
DISQUIETING ADVICES REGARD
ING REvoLUTIoNIsTs.
Morales, Former President Of Snnto
Domingo, Said to Be Aiming at
His Former Position.

Dfsquieting advices received by the State
Department relative to revolutionary move
ments In the West Indies directed against
the administration of President Caceres of
Santo Domingo led to a conference today
between officials OF the State and Navy de-
partments Details of these movements are
vague and are difficult of access, but it is
gathered in substance that they indicate
that ex-Pres.dent Morales, who for some
time had dsa ppeared from the scene of
activity, Is now at near st. Thomas, and
Is making determined effort to expel Ca
ceres and regain the presidency of Santo
Domingo.
Some OF the very leaders who were instru-
mental in ejecting Morales from office are
reported to be now on his side, and many
rumors have been received of purchases of
arms and gathering of revolutioniSts in
ports adjacent to Santo Domingo.
FOLLOWING the precedent already estab-
1ished in the case of Santo Domingo the
Navy Department has forwarded to Com
mander Switzerland, on the Yankee, such
information as 1t has received through the
state Department, leaving him full discre-
ton to deal with the situation The recent
concentration of the vessels under that Of
ficer's command at the Dominican ports,
and particularly the naval movements
toward the north size of the island in the
neighboThood of Monte Cristi, where revo-
lutfonists are reported to be In the nearby
mountains, are taken as an indication that
Commander Southerland has already him.
self heard of the revolutionary activity,
and Is taking steps to strictly enforce the
United States neutrality laws to the extent
of preventing the landing of any munitions
of war
1t appears that ex-President Jminez Is
taking an active part in these movements,
and he has recently addressed several let
ters to Secretary Root containing long
suments to demonstrate the justice of per-
mitting him and his party to make an un-
impeded effort to regain control Of the
Dominican government. At last accounts
he was reported to be in Porto Rico, and
his movements being clofely watched
by the authorities there at the instance of
the State Department.

Minority Leader Williams on the
Proper Treatment of the Speaker

Mr.. Williams of Mississippi was serious
minded today and explained to the House
that the fippant manner in which the pa
pers spoke about the Speakers way OF
counting a quorum was not to his liking.
Far be it from me- he said, Ito think
that there was not quorum present when
the Speaker announced a quorum, after one
OF his characteristic counts.
He appreciated the picturesqueness of the
situation, but the counting of q quorum
was a serious business, and the Constitu-
ton provided that a majority of both
houses must be present to do business. He
wanted the country to know that, while
the members were only boys grown tall, y
legislation was proceeding in an orderly
and a digniied manner.
