Properties of Gasoline.

A gasoline tank rarely explodes- It
cannot unless it contains gasoline
vapor and air in explosive proper
lions, which latter condition is almost
never present. 1t does not explode
because it contains too little air or
too much gasoline. Even if tank of
gasoline were to burst from heat APP
piled to its exterior, the confined
heavy gas would not explode If in
contact with flame or fire, but would
burn instead. A tank of gasoline
with no vent would do considerable
damage were it to burst and throw
burning oil and flaming gas about, but
1000 gallons of gasoline in vessels
bilges would not be SO dangerous
from explosion as a hundredth of
that amount. The larger quantity
would burn rapidly, while the smaller
would be sufficient, If mixed with the
proper amount of air, to demolish ut
terly almost any boat.

For Flowery Kingdom as Only Actual

der Treaty is $4,000, 900.

Washington ID. c., June 1S.-The
state department fully confirms the
statement of the Chinese minister
that it Is the intention of the presi
dent to release from payment Of all
but the actual expenses to which II
was put by, the Boxer uprising Of
1900, provided congress shall give
its consent.
The fact that the indemnity is be-
ing collected under the terms Of the
treaty makes 1t impossible for the ex-
ecutive to act alone in this matter.
But upon reassembling Of congress,
the president in his annual message
will recall the facts connected with
the assessment Of the indemnity and
will suggest that payment Of more
than the amount actually expended be
remitted. BY terms of the treaty Chi
ma was to pay the United States
slightly less than $25 100000 in annual
installments running through period
of SO years, with interest
So far there has been collected S6,-

Expenses Were Only $e,o00,0oo.
The estimated expense to which the
United States was put by military
operations in China, naval expenses
and losses suffered at American con

The saving tn China Is far greater
than would at first be supposed for
as heavy interest was to be charged
on the total amount Of the indemnity
awarded America by the international
commission that met in Pekin In 1900
and 1t Is estimated that the total sum
China would be obliged to pay the
United States In the course OF the 80
years would be no less than s59,000,-

CROSS QUESTIONS FAIL
TO Shake Assassin's Story and State
Scores HcaviIy--Defensc Keeps
Out Story Of Adams Alleged
Confession.

Boise Idaho, June 1S.--The presecn-
/ ticn in the Steunenberg murder trial
offered one of It's most important
pieces Of evidence against Haywood
today, when, recalling Harry Orchard
| redirect examination, 1t introduced
secured the admission of letters tend
| ing to show that Haywood, during the
! fall of 1905, when Orchard swears he
was engaged on various crimes for
Federation leaders, had participated
In plan to deceive Mrs. Orchard the
second, of Cripple Creek, as to the
whereabouts of her husband. Two let
ters he had dated at San Francisco
and third purported to come from
Nome. Alaska. This last was actual
~ carried to Nome by friend and
mailed there.
The defense attacked the letters
and Orchards story about them when
1t got a chance to cross examine the
witness, but Orchard held to the story
he told about them.
Federation Sent Lawyers.
The state developed It's contention
that as tending to show conspiracy
and knowledge of the Steunenberg
crime Orchard was, without any re.
quest from him, furnished with coun-
sci within a few days after his arrest.
The defense examined Orchard on this
subject and largely devoted itself TO
showing that the Western Federation
always provided counsel for its meni-
bers wherever and whenever they got
into trouble.
There was a long contest over the
unsuccessful effort by the state to
show that the confession of. Steve
Adams had been voluntary. 1t main-
tanned that Adams had once discussed
tho matter freely with Attorneys Haw-
ley and Borah, but that was about as
far as 1t got, the court sustaining OBJ
jections from the defense.

Denver, Colo, June 1S.---Pprsuant &c
the call issued two months ago By
Governor Buthtel, the representatives
OF fifteen states and territories west
OF the Mississippi, gathered In this
city today to discuss the public land
question and particularly the land
laws adopted by the present federal
administration.
The conference promises important
results. The committee intrustel
with the work of formulating a pro-
gram includes among its members
Senators Perkins OF California, Hep.
burn OF Idaho, Carter of Montana,
Nixon OF Nevada, Fulton OF Oregon,
kittredge of South Dakota, Piles 1T
Washington, Clark of Wyoming and
Teller Of Colorado. This committee
has outlined the following questions
TO be dicussed by the conference,
Has the United States the right to
hold the public lands In new state
under municipal sovereignty without
the consent of the state?
When the new states were admitted
did not the government include the
right to acquire the public lands?
The withdrawal of public lands hay-
ing been urged, does such pubic
necessity exist in fact as would war
rant the large Withdrawals made?
Has the United States capacity to
engage In merchandising timber and
coal In competition with citizens?
If the United States has the pow
er to embark on an extensive and mo-
noplistic scale In the development of
the public lands, would such action
be In the interest Of the states?
Would the power TO regulate and
control grazing upon the. unappropri-
ated and unreaserved lands or the
United States" retard the gradual alb
sorption Of the public lands into own
ership?
Has the government the power to
interfere with public or private en-
terprise in the construction of irrl-
cation works and to deny such pro-
jects right of way over public lands?
This program Is evidence in itse'f
that the policy of the Roosevelt adj
ministration in regard to the public
lands is likely to come in for consid.
cradle criticism at the conference.
Both the cattle men, who want the
lands for grazing purposes, and the
land men, who want the country di-
vided up into farms for settlers, are
opposed to the policy of the admins
tration in withdrawing large areas OF
public lands for forest reserves. The
friends of the administration, how
ever, are prepared to offer strong op-
position to any movement to turn the
conference into an anu-Rooseyelt
demonstration. Secretary Garfield ami
other officials of the Interior Depart |
ment are on hand to explain the poll
cies of the administration.
