that the real reason for Casimir- Perier's

serious quarrel with Germany, owing to
his ignorance Of the Drayfus scandal. 1t
was even said that private documents on

distracted and photographed while on the

Trade conditions continue to improve
the tendency in this respect being the di-
rect antithesis of that displayed in the
stock market. At the moment country
buyers are in the larger markets in good
ly numbers and the volume of house bust
ness done is of excellent proportions, ex-
ceeding in some lines even that of n year
ago, when business was exceptionally
brisk. Dry goods, millinery, hats and
caps and, in fact, all wearing apparel are
in the forefront of spring trade.
In such lines as cotton goods some of
which tend to further advances, it is not
question of procuring business, but
rather one of making deliveries on orders,
booked months ago. AS regards manufac-
turing lines, it is the old story of heavily
filled order books aud of capacity being
worked to the utmost, despite which de-
liveries are backward. Collections, though
satisfactory in some lines, are, on the
WHOLE very backward, the tightness Of
money and the enormous volume of bust
ness outstanding being the main factors.

country as a whole is of fair proportions,

BLAST ON WARSHIP.
HUNDREDS KILLED BY MAGA
ZINE EXPLOSION.
French Ironclad Jena Blown to
Pieces mt TouIon-CompresSed Air
Torpedo the Cause--Most Deadly

A powder magazine on board the
French battleship Jena blew up Tues
day, while the vessel was in the Missi-
essy dock, at Toulon, owing to the
explosion of compressed-ai torpedo.
1t was reported that the casualties
number from 200 to 500. There were
about $50 officers and men on board
the jena at the time of the disaster,
but many of them jumped into the
water. The authorities declare that
the victims number over 200.
According to cablegrams, the explo-
sion took place during gun drill
which brought the bulk of. the crew
into the vicinity of the magazine.
While the crew WAS lifting torpedo
from the magazine some defect in the
compressed air apparatus caused a pre-
mature discharge. The shock of a
bursting torpedo caused the almost
instantaneous explosion of the entire
magazine.
The members of the torpedo crew
were blown into shreds. Scarcely
enough of their bodies remained to
make Identification possible. The deck
was swept by shreds of steel and sec
lions of the debris of the wrecked COM
partment. Scores who escaped death in
the initial blast met death in the hail
of missiles
Thirty seconds after the explosion
the deck of the battleship was a mass
o. shattered and bleeding corpses.
Here and there injured men moved
feebly, but most of the victims were
killed outright. Calls for help were
made by the few officers left unin-
jured, and the surgeons began the task
of giving relief to those to whom a
chance for life remained.
The most of the men who persisted
were asleep in their hunks and ham
mocks between decks when the explo-
sion came which lifted the great ship
almost clear of the water and tore
huge hole in its bottom Many of the
men were killed as they slept. Others
were drowned as they sought to es-
cape to the deck by the inrushing tide
of water. Within a few moments the
vessel had sunk to the bottom of the
harbor, where its wreck lies to-day.
The Jena a Modern Ship.
The Jena was built at Brest and
launched in 1898, being completed in 1901,
so that she was one of the newest of the
French war vessels. She had a displace-
ment of 1851 tons and an indicated
horse power of 16.5O0 Her length was
4OO% feet, beam 6S& feet and draft
27a feet.
Like all new French battleships, the
jena had three propellers. Steam was
supplied to her three vertical triple-ex-
pansion engines by twenty Belleville boil
ers fitted with economizers. The fur
naces were so arranged that petroleum
could be used with the coal. The normal
coal supply was 500 tons, giving an en-
durance of $500 miles at ten knots, and
1000 at full speed. The cost of the bat
tleship was $5,500,000.

GIRL FoILs A BURGLAR.


Niece of Policeman whispers to Po-

To the resourcefulness and bravery of
Miss Katherine O'Brien, niece of John
Fox, president of the Democratic Club,
is due the capture by the police of
burglar who had prepared bundle of sill
verware and other valuables worth about
$1,000 and was ready to leave the Fox
residence on East Fiftieth street, New
York. Mr.. Fox and his family are in
Europe and the house Is occupied in their
absence by Miss O'Brien, Mrs. Hogan, her
aunt, and seven servants. Miss O'Brien
and Mrs. Hogan occupy rooms on the
third floor, while the servants sleep on
the floor above. About 80 o'clock Miss
O'Brien was awakened by noise on one
of the lower floors, and in the darkness
made her way to q telephone. In whis-
pers she called police headquarters and
told Of the situation. The police soon
reached the house and the intruder was
captured as he leaped from a parlor win
dow, startled by a noise made by po-
liceman stationed at the front door. He
gave his name as John Bowdin, 80 years
old, motorman.
