Senate Acts ON Admission of Okla
homa and Indian Territory.
The conference report on the state
hood bill was adopted without revi-

ing three hours discussion, led by
Senator Beveridge. Senator Money OPP
posed the measure, calling the union
of Oklahoma and Indian Territory an
outrage. The question of admitting
New Mexico and Arizona as a single
State has gone over indefinitely, pend
ing a vote of each territory.
The statehood bill provides that Ok
lahoma and Indian Territory will be
united to form the forty-sixth State in
the Union. When a constitution IS
adopted in State convention it must
be ratified by the people, and there
after the President will proclaim the
admission to the union of the State

BLOWN UP.
EXPLOSION CAUSES Loss OF
BOAT AND CREW.
Argus, with Boats Untouched and
Crew Nowhere to BE Seen, Burns
On Pacific Ocean-American OFF,
Ger Slain in Philippines.

The gasoline schooner Argus burned,
thirty-five miles off Destruction Island,
and, according to the story told by Cap
tair George f. Bridget of the steamer
Asuncion of the Pacific Oil Company. in
Seattle, it is not likely that the crew will
ever be heard from. Captain Bridget
thinks the crew was blown up in an ex-
plosion which caused the fire. He says
he went alongside of the Argus and the
vessels hull and bow were burned away.
The Argus was bound from Puget sound
TO San Francisco with cargo of &c.,
600 feet of lumber. She was built in
1902 and had a register of 567 tons gross,
or 527 tons net. She was owned by the
Pacific Ship Company of San Francisco
Another point mentioned by Captain
Bridget which seems to give force TO the
story that the crew persisted in an explo-
sion is that the lashings on the boat were
not touched

PANORAMA OF THE WORLD

A London dispatch from Tangier says:
According to aivices from Aarakesh, the
C0bbler Mesfewi, who has been con-
yicfed of the murder of thirty-six women,
whose bodies were found buried un-
der his shop and in his garden, has ex-
plated his crime. Instead of being cru
cited, as had been intended, at the
last moment it was ordered that he be
walled mp alive. Previous to the final
act Of the tragedy Mesfewi was sub

ed by a mob who jeered Mesfewi. The
first two days of his entombment the
cobbler screamed continuously, but the
third day the tomb gave forth no sound.

Foot Inspection Bill.
Rigid meat inspection at an annual cost
to the government of 100000 is pro-
vided for in substitute for tue Beveridge
amendment to the agricultural bill agreed
to by the House committee on agriculture.

this label, certificate fer foreign COM
merce. The substitute passed the COM
mittee by the close vote Of 8 to and

FATAL EXPLOSION ON SHIP.
Internal Machine Suspected to Have
Heen the Cause.

lnIernal Machine Suspected 10 nave
Reen the Cause.
Nine men were killed and about for
ty injured by terrific explosion
Thursday on the British steamer Ha-
wexford of the International Naviga-
ton Company 1t is suspected that an
internal machine was the cause, al
though barrel of naphtha may have
blown up.
The vessel. commanded by Captain
Nielsen, arrived at Liverpool from
Philadelphia, landed her passengers
and proceeded to Huskisson Dock 10
unload. The stevedores were loosen
ing the matches when suddenly vio-
lent blast occurred. 1t blew off the
matches, rent the decks and hurled
dead and wounded men in ali direc-
tions
The explosion, which was heard for
many blocks, was followed by fire. The
cargo, consisting of linseed oil cake
in hold No. . and hold No. 3, soon
was blazing fiercely. Firemen and po-
lice hurried to the spot and the injured
We're taken to a neighboring hospital.
The fire soon assumed alarming proper
tons, owing to. the inflammable nature
of the cargo. After two hours hard
fighting, however, the firemen obtained
tie mastery of the flames.
The report that the explosion was
caused by an internal machine arose
from. the finding of wooden box a
foot square in one of the holds. This
box, which was only partly shattered,
still contained pieces of steel machin-
cry. 1t was prominently marked For
Manchester, England" The officials of
the international Navigation Company
say they believe the explosion was die
to ignition of gas given on by naphtta
soap, which formed part of the cargo.
OutwardIy little harm has been done
to the vessel beyond the rents in the
deck, but inside the damage is exteD-
Sive.

Four Firms Convicted Under Com

The four meat packing companies,
charged with accepting rebates. we're found
guilty by jury in the United States
District Court at Kansas City. The
packers were charged in indictments re-
turned last December with accepting from
the Burlington railway concessions on
shipments from the Kansas City plants
to New York for export. The cases were
consolidated for trial purposes. The spe-
ciic case considered, which is practically
identical with the others, is that charging
Cudahy & Co. with accepting a rate of %
cents hundred pounds on shipment Of
lard TO New York for export to Germany
when the legal tariff then on file with the
interstate commerce commission was 30
cents. The case bears unusual impor-
lance in the list of rebate trials to come
up in this court, for it is the first time
that any concern has been brought to
trial before jury on charge affecting
export rates as applied TO the Interstate
commerce act.
