NOVE FROM TANK 4FTRE
Nearby Tenants Fear Explosion, but
ErpertS Deny DANCER.

There was hurried moving yesterday on the
part OF the tenants in the two blocks Of tene-
ment houses nearest the burning gas tank in
Hoboken, which was expected to explode 1t is
said that there never would have been danger
OF an explosion If the tank had not warped and
as it sank jammed. Since then the gas has been
burning at the various leaks 1t will soon be
exhausted, but the nearer that condition ap-
proaches the greater the danger When the
amount Of gas inside is so reduced that it fills
but 20 per cent Of the interior it vii be so mixed
with inTushing air it is said. as to become in
hamm2ble, and an explosion is likely to ensue
The gas men, especially an expert from PhiIa-
delphia, who came on at the request of the COM
pany, say, however, that no will be hurt be-
cause a rip will occur at some weak point and
from it the flame will pour for a minute and
then the fire will be a thing OF the past

Deputy Marshal Investigating Blaze
IN Boarding House.

A four story brOwnstone boarding house at
No 127 West 47th street was partly destroyed
by fire yesterday afternoon. The course Of the
fire and the presence of kerosene oil in large
quantities convinced Battalion Chief Devannev
that something was wrong, and Deputy Fire
Marshal Prial made an investigation A five
gallon can Of oil was found on the third floor
Two empty demijohns, which the fremen said
had contained kerosene oil recently. were found
the first floor
The fittings on the first floor We're completely
destroyed, as were those also on the third and
fourth floors. Deputy Marshal PriaI made only
a preliminary examination. as he was hindered
by the lack Of light
The fire started on the third floor and was
discovered by Patrolman Lavery. of the West
47th street station, who saw smoke issuing from
the windows. Mrs. Bonnafeld Leslie. the pro-
prietor Of the boarding house, who was i'll in
bed was carried out by a policeman.

CARS LAND IN DITCH.
Trenty-three Injured in accident
Caused By Spreading Rails.

Fort Wayne, Ind March 3O.-Twenty- three
persons were injured to-day at South Whitley,
Ind by the overturning of the smoking car,
bound train on the New York Chicago and ST.
Louis Railroad. while running at the rate Of
forty-hve miles an hour. Only the baggage car
and the rear trucks Of the dining car remained
on the track the other rolling into ditch
An unidentified woman, whose skull was
crushed is expected TO die William Fish, of
New York City, sustained a badly sprained
back He was thrown into the ditch and nearly
drowned The other victims had bones broken
or were badly bruised.
The engineer said the locomotive and the
baggage car passed smoothly over the spot
where the other left the rails. 1t Is thought
that the rails were spread by a defective truck
of the smoking car, which was hurled fifty feet
from the track into ditch about half filled with
water. The day coach following was turned
crosswise Of the track, and the heavy sleeping
cars crashed into the side of the day coach
Most of the injured were in the day coach, and
only a few passengers in the sleeping cars were
hurt.
A wrecIing train, carrying physicians, was
sent from Fort Wayne The injured were placed
in the baggage car of the train and brought to
Fort Wayne, where they were taken to St Jo-
sephs Hospital

LIBERALS YIELD TO LABOR PARTY IN HOUSE.
THE PREMIER ANNOUNCES INTENTION TO OPPOSE
THE GOVERNMENTS BILL.

London, March 3O.-The government has sur
rendered to the Labor party on the Trades Dis
putes bill, and the Premier, Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman, announced in the House Of Com
mons this afternoon that he would support the
bill introduced by the Labor party in opposition
to the government measure. He advised the
House to accept the bill of the Labor party,
which then came up for its second reading. It
provides complete immunity for trade unions
funds, the clause relating thereto reading:
No action shall be brought against a trade
union or other association aforesaid for the re-
COvery of damages sustained by any person or
persons by reason of the action of any mem ber
or members Of such trade union or other asSo-
citation.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1906-03-31

Otherwise the bill is practically a duplicate of
the governments measure.
The Premier explained that the object Of the
government was to place the rival powers of
capital and labor an equality, that in the
event of a fight it should be a fair one" He
thought that the great mass of opinion recOg-
nizsd the beneficial effect Of trade unions es-
pecialIy on the prevention of conflicts. The
present situation was created by a judge-made
law, which defeated the intentions of Parla-
ment. He advised the House to pass the second
reading Of the bill, as he was confident that the
differences as to detail could be settled in COM
mittee.
After some opposition and twitting of the gov
ernment for its "cowardIy surrender TO the
clamor Of the Labor party" the bill passed it's
second reading by 456 to &c votes.

Contention 4HOzcs Miners
to Accept 1908 Scale.

The National Convention of United Mine
Workers at indianapolis voted to let the
miners accept the 1908 wage scale when
offered, thus averting general strike
1t is not expected that President Roosevelt
will take any steps in the differences between
miners and operators unless the situation de-
velops much more seriousness than at present.
Pennsylvania bituminous coal men were
confident that the strike would be only partial
and of short duration. Many operators came
to agreement with their men.
The ordering of a strike in the anthracits
district was a surprise to mine operators in
this city.
