PANIC OVER
! THIRTY MILES
Bridgeport Explosion Severe
Shock Passed Under Long Is
land to Passport.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, May 15.-An
explosion at 4;30 o'clock in the morn
ing of a large amount of black and
smokeless powder in four magazines
situated in the suburbs of the eastern
section of this city caused thousands
of dollars worth of damage about the
city, shook the earth within a radius of
more than thirty miles and so resem-
bled an earthquake as to strike terror
to the hearts of the entire population.
There were two distinct explosions,
with a lapse of half a minute between.
Chimneys were knocked off houses,
glass was broken in hundreds of build
ings, and in the business section of the
city big plate glass windows were shat
tered.
After making an investigation Super
intendent Thorpe said: Il estimate that
5000 pounds of powder were exploded
in all, but have absolutely no knowl-
edge as to the cause of the explosion.
1t is a mystery and may never be ex-
planned. The company has always
taken the greatest %precaution to pre-
vent anything of the kind"
In the a~lmshouse, which is about a
quarter of a mile from the magazines,
not q pane of glass was left intact.
Part of the building was wrecked, and
the 300 inmates were thrown into a
state of panic. Many of them, some in
sane, forced their way out of the struc-
ture in night attire and fed for their
lives. The cattle shed at the town farm
was wrecked, and the cattle ran in all
directions.
So far as can be ascertained no lives
were lost. No Waterman is employed
by the company on the premises. They
are visited every morning about G
o'clock by a workman who hauls pow
der to the Union Metallic Cartridge
company. The company WINS the land
and uses it as a place of storage. Peo-
pie in all sections of the city in the be-
lief that an earthquake had occurred
ran from their houses in scant attire,
some with crying children in their
arms and all thoroughly frightened.

MEDICAL MENTION.

DR.. w. F. Robertson, a British ply
stefan of note n considerable re.

germ disease as truly as are tubercu-
losis and diphtheria.
DIR. Emil Reich says that what gave
most English families of the upper
classes the govt was the treaty that

gal, much too heavy for use in the
English climate.

other remedy had failed, the light rays

was mostly of long standing.
/ One of the melancholy effects OF

Sentenced to death for high treason
In 1849, young Schurz for three days
and nights after the Prussian army
entered Rastadt lay concealed on a
beam in a shed just wide enough to
shield him from the view of those be-
low. The shed was guarded by troops
and the German soldiers danced night
ly with the pretty German girls under
meath his hiding place. On the fourth
night, taking advantage of a heavy
rainstorm, the fugitive leaped from
the roof and narrowly escaped capture.
With the aid of friends he gained the
outside of the Notifications through a
sewer. He then went to Paris.
President Lincoln appointed him min
lister to Spain, but he resigned to enter
the army. He became a brigadier gen
eral of volunteers in 1862 and later in
the same year received command of a
corps under General Sigel. He dis
tinguished himself in the battle of the
second Bull Run, had temporary com
mand of the Eleventh corps at Gettys-
burg and took part with credit to him
self in the famous battles around Chat
tonooga in the fall Of 1868.
Former President Grover Cleveland
last night paid the following tribute to
the late Carl Schurz:
II look upon the death of Mr.. Schurz
as a national affection. Though he had
reached length of years and though his
activity had waned. he was still a
power and strong influence in the life
and sentiment of his countrymen."

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The sem

during which Mr.. Tillman, ON the III
thority of former Senator Chandler,
made statements regarding the presi-
dents curse in connection with pend
ing railroad rate legislation, some Of
which statements were denied by Mr..
Lodge ON behalf of the president, had
its sequel when an official statement
was issued by the White House giving
an account Of the subject on the part
of the president and Attorney General
Moody. The president says:
I'm no case, either in the ease of
Mr.. Chandler or any one else, was
there the slightest opportunity for any
honest misconception of my attitude

would not be satisfied with any amend
ment which preserved the essential fea-
lures of the Hepburn bill as it came

graduating class next month, as has

There are always some members who
would prefer to have the affair take
the form of a banquet, as 1t did in
former years, but because of the in

dances and because of the conditions
here regarding holding banquets for

connection with mine in the statement
he made concerning our relations to
the rate bill last Saturday it is perhaps
due to you that / should write you on
the matter.
after the rate bill was reported
from the committee and after by vote
of the committee Mr.. Tillman had been
put in charge of 1t many senators and
many outsiders came to see me with
reference to it. Among others l was
asked to see ex-senator Chandler as
representing Mr.. TilIman, who was in
charge of the bill. l stated in re-
Spouse that | was, of course, entirely
willing to see Mr.. Tillman personally
or to see Mr.. Chandler or any one who
could speak for him, and l accordingly
directed my secretary to make an APP
pointment for Mr.. Chandler to see me.
My understanding was that he was the
representative of Mr.. Tillman. In this
first interview he stated to me the
views of Mr.. Tillman with seeming au-
thority. He called on me several times.
During the same period l saw other
gentlemen who %professed to give the
views of other senators, and on two &C.
casions | saw groups Of newspaper
men.
'sTo all of these, senators, representa-
tiyes OF senators and outsiders alike,
/ made the same statements, those that
l made to Mr.. Chandler being the same
In substance that | made to you and to
those of your colleagues of both po-
litical parties with whom l had any
extended conferences on the subject.
The letter of the attorney general,
which | %inclose, shows fully the facts
as to the conferences which, at my in
stance. he held with Senators Tillman
and Bailey. Those conferences were
precisely such as. at my instance, he
held with many other senators to deter
mine the phraseology and discuss the
effect of amendments proposed by
them.
ITO all whom l saw / stated that the
Hepburn bill was in its essence en-
tirely satisfactory to me.
.'Shortly after this you, in company
with Senator Cullom. called upon me
with the amendment which is now
commonly known as the Allison amend
ment. told you that while l should
prefer the Long and Overman amend
ments yet that your amendment was
entirely satisfactory. Your amend
rhent does not in the slightest degree
weaken or iniure the Hepburn bill.
''To none of the amendments of the
rate bill did | say to Mr.. Chandler or
any one else that I should insist upon
having them incorporated in the bill
as a condition of my approval"
Senator Tillman repeated last night
that he did not in any way Initiate the
negotiations with the president regard
ing the Democratic support for the
railroad rate bill and that he did not
ask Senator Chandler to go to the
White House.
He said that the president had evad-
ed the real issue-that of acting in bad
faith. This was reiterated by Mr..
Chandler, who declined to make any
further statement. 1t is expected that
the controversy will be thrashed out
today in the senate.
