HEPBURN IS CRACKING
THE FEDERAL Whip
Idaho Senator Making Strenu-
Gus Effort to Hold Repub-
licanS in Line.
Special to Tho Tribune.

special 70 1hc Iribuno
BOISE, Ida, Oct. 17.-Despite the
fact that he is out of harmony with
his Republican quorum on many
things, including the Mormon issue,
Senator w. B. Hepburn, during his
visit to southern Idaho, cracked the
Federal whip over the heads of dis
gusted Republicans to keep them from
boiling the ticket. He attended the
Republican county conventions held in
Cassla and Bingham counties, and per
suaded and cajoled Republicans who
are sick of church domination not to
bolt.
At Idaho Falls, where the Bingham
county convention was held, Senator
Hepburn sent for the dissenters and
urged them, for the sake Of Congress-
man French, to maintain at least a
semblance Of party regularity.
Vote against the county ticket, if
you want to- Senator Heyburn is
quoted at saying. 81 can II help that,
and it is your own affair. But if Won
bolt openly it will have q bad effect
in the rest of the State, and will in
Jure Congressman French.D
In both Cassia and Bingham coun-
ties Senator Hepburn is reported to
have made promises of postoffices and
other Federal jobs to disgruntled Re.
publicans to hold them in line, He
and his private secretary, Addison T.
Smith, who claims resid ence in Twin
Falls, spent four days in Cassia coun-
ty trying to head off the revolt of Gen
tile Republicans, but all reports are
that their mission was unsuccessful.

liquid, but it can be made safe by GER
tain adnixture with other materials.
Thus dynamite is merely Kieselguhr,
or diatomaceous earth, calcined and
clean, which has been allowed to alb
sorb a quantity of Nc. The quantity
absorbed must always be less than the
capillarity of the cellular diatoms en-
ables them easily to retain without drip
or overflow. Kieselguhr, fully charged
with NC, so that the liquid leaks out
of the compound, is as dangerous as the
unabsorbed liquid, because when fully
charged there is no capacity for innocu
Gus compression, and the full danger Of
an incompressible unstable liquid may
be developed by the most trivial cause
In cordite, though soidity has been
attained, the dangerous instability has
been so FAR overcome that only by ig-
milton can it again be brought into
action. We may thus follow the manu-
facture of this article as one of the
safest and best-known propellant explo-
sives. for cordite is used only as an
ammunition.-Cassier g Magazine.

HYLAND-DECkER FIGHT
Articles Signed For Twenty Round
Go at Alden.
Special TO The Tribune.

Speclal 10 ne irlpupcs
OGDEN. Oct. 17.-Articles to fight a
twenty roung go between Dick Hyland,
Of San Francisco, and George Decker, of
Philadelphia, were signed in Salt Lake
tonight and the go is to be pulled of
in the Ogden Grand opera house on Fri
day, Nov, 2. Hyland needs no intro
duction to the lovers of sport in the
West. He has shown himself good
man in the past and in Ogden beat
Young Corbett in four rounds.
From his record Decker seems to be
in the same class, He obtained draw
in six round go with Terry McGovern
in Philadelphia and also draw with
Kid Herman. He has beaten Young
Corbett and got decision from Benny
Ianger,
Hyland fights in Los Angeles tonight
with Thompson and Immediately after
the fight will leave for Ogden where he
will go into training for his go with
Decker. Decker will train in Salt Lake
City as soon as he can secure quarters

PRODUCTION OF EXPLOSIVES
Some Chemical Combinations Cordite
and Nitroglycerine.

High explosives, properly so called,
are those which will not explode except
under special conditions Ordinary
black powder gives out its explosive
property if ignited by a match or a
spark. An explosion results because
black powder IS an intimate mechani-
cal mixture of certain combustibles,
which burn with great rapidity and
produce enormous pressure.
But to obtain full effect from high
explosives a detonator must be used,
and the rapidity of explosion of such
explosives Is very much greater than
that of gunpowder. The basis Of all
high explosives is a chemical combina-
tlon OF certain nitrogenous substances.
Nitrogen IS an inert element. and there
fore does not maintain firm grip of
the substances with which it is united,
and such substances are said to be un-
stable.
In the production of high explosives
the object is to produce substance
which, while reasonably stable under
certain ordinary conditions can be put
into a condition of such excessive in
stability that it will decompose in
Simultaneously. This instantaneous de-
composition is explosion, and it is
brought about with high explosives by
means of small detonator charge that
Is eNplOQcu III lne IDlUQlS Oh the charge
of high explosives, and thereby gives
such shock to the chemical molecular
structure of the high explosive that the
latent instability is invoked and explo-
sion ensues.
A detonator !ior this purpose usually
consists of shell containing a COM
pound known aB illuminate OF mercury,
with which is sometimes mixed chic
rate, and detpnator must be of such
size and power as to be capable of
bringing about this condition of molec~
ular instability throughout the whole
of the charge to be fred, otherwise
portion of the charge may not be de-
stroYed and may remain subsequent
danger in a mire or elsewhere.
a safe and characteristic high ex-
plosive Of the propulsive order is the
cordite which is used in firearms of all
sizes. Cordite consists of guncotton, nj
troglycerine and mineral jelly, suitably
incorporated by aid of a solvent, ace
tone, which is dried out of the mixture,
and leaves finished cordite as a horny,
tough substances, resembling celluloid
in appearance.
Naturally in the production of an
explosive the dangerous processes must
be minimized, and cleanliness. accuracy
and great care are required. The nitro
glycerine used in cordite is a substance
made by acting upon glycerine which
has been allowed to absorb quantity
of NC: technically is dangerous

TWO KILLED, MANY HURT
Santa Fe Express Trains Collide Near
ManZanOla, Colo.


PUEBLO, Colo, Oct. 1.-Two men
were killed, while more than score
of passengers were injured as the re-
suit Of a head-on collision between two
Santa Fe express trains near Mama
nola, at 1:56 o'clock this afternoon.
Both locomotives were totally demol-
ished, as was the baggage car on the
eastbound train. With the exception
of the baggage car on the westbound,
the other coaches were practically un-
injured, none of them leaving the
track.
Of the four enginemen, all but ". T.
McMurray, engineer on No. COL, west
bound, jumped for their lives and es-
capped without injury. McMurray, a
veteran of thirtyfve years in the serv-
ice of the Santa Fe, stuck to his post
and was injured. He made every effort
to avoid the collision.
The cause Of the collision is not
given by the Santa Fe officials here,
but they state that No. COL was run
ming on short time and that McMurray
evidently endeavored to make the sid
ing at Manzanola before No. 10, east
bound. left that station. Immediately
after the collision the wreckage caught
fire.

you what to do.
Ayes.
O.-That did not raise any suspicion
in your mind?
A.-No, be was supposed to know the
game. He had already won $40. L

TALKS FOR HIS COUNTY
J. E. Austin, of Heber City, Gives
Pointers on Wasatch.


J. F. Austin, Of Heber City, candi-
date for the lower house of the Iegis-
lature on the Republican ticket, was
in the city. Wednesday, and was a
guest Of the Wilson hotel, In conver-
sation with representative OF The
Tribune, Mr., Austin said:
81 am not in any sense politician,
but lust a candidate for the Legislature.
I am more interested in the sheep in
dustry of this State than I am IN poll
tics, and am President of the State
Board of Sheep Commissioners. Wa
satch is great stock raising county,
and the range is exceptionally fine this
year. Heretofore Wasatch county has
been handicapped by the Indian reser-
walton, the greater portion of which
lay within the confines Of the county.
The opening Of the reservation has add
ed great scope of the finest kind of
farming and grazing country. This land
when brought under cultivation will
make Wasatch one of the foremost
counties in the State in farming and
stock raising, and her coal fields when
opened up will put Wasatch in the fore
front of coal producers, The resources
of Wasatch county are ample to sup
port an immense population. The land
is there, the range is there, the coal eX-
lists in limitless quantity. These are
some Of the opportunities which Wa
sateh county offers to the enterprisDg
settler.
"Many people are taking advantage
of the favorable conditions for making
homes, and the county is fast being
settled up by an industrious, enter
prising class of citizens, OF course
much work will have to be done to
bring the lands all under irrigation but
this will be accomplished In the course
Of time. Taken all together the future
outlook for Wasatch county is very
bright indeed ~

JAPAN'S HAND SEEN
IN ANT-OPIUh EDICT
Believed to Have Influenced China TO
Switch Trade Her
Way.

LONDON, Oct. 13.-The Chinese I'm
perial edicI prohibiting the use of opium
within the Empire. has aroused curious
speculations in England as To what mo-
tive lies behind it. II is not likely. II Is
held. that any sentimental reasons have
inspired the Chinese government in
their resolve 10 throw off the burden
Nhlch England imposed upon the coun-
thy sixty years ago, in order 20 benefit
the trade Of India. nor Is Il probable
that such a decree could be made efreC-
tive. or that the willy Chinaman would
be found without a hundred ingenious
ways of evading g.
Englands ally-Japan-is very busy in
China influencing the Celestials in
many ways 20 direct the trade of China
into channels which flow JapanK ards.
The conquerors Of Russia have great
influence at Pekin, and 1t Is quite likely
that they have suggested or dictated
the anti-opium edict with a view 60 dis
couraging the Indian opium trade and
70 supplying the Chinamen's craving
from Korea and Formosa, the nrst
Japanese protectOTate and the second a
japanese possession
This is a plausible explanation Of
China's unexpected action In forbldding
the use OF the pOppy-drug. which is con-
sidered, after an not more harmful 20
Chinese than the cigarette habit Is to
Americans and Europeans.
