Details of an Order Issued From the
 wnr Department.
 Washington, Jan. 9.-Details of vital importance to the militia of the coun- try are contained in the order issued from the war department to-day gov- erning the mobilization of that arm of the national defense in case of war. Some of these provisions follow:
 A sufficient reserve force to meet any emergency must always be left within state or territory when its militia is called into the service of the nation. The president alone is the exclusive judge of the existence of an emergency justifying a call for the militia. The minimum strength of the militia organ lzations which states mush maintain if they expect to receive allotments from the congressional appropriation for the maintenance of tho militia is placed at fifty eight for company of infantry, troop of cavalry, company of engineers, and signal company, A coast artillery company must have minimum of six ty-three, and a battery of field artil- lery one hundred and thirty-three. Or ganizations below these numbers must be immediately recruited to the stand ard before they can leave the home sta tion in case of call.
 In addition to equipping their men the state officials must purchase cook ed meats for the militiamen where they cannot use rations in kind, and for this purpose an allowance of sixty cents per day is allowed for each man, which is increased to seventy five cents when travelling. The United States will nay these bills as well as for transpor- tation of the militia upon certification from the proper state officers. States
 that already have the United States standard of physical examination for recruits shall have these troops mus tered into service at once, and without interference with the supreme duty of the militia, "the defense of the coun- try" physical examination to be made by an army officer later on, and after the muster. To facilitate the settle ment of pension claims the militiamen will be examined medically prior to be- l ing mustered out.

RAIN OF MOLTEN METAL
EXPLOSION AT STEEL YORK
 CAUSES FATAL CLOUDBURSE

Three Men Killed, Seven Fatally h.
 jured and Twenty-four Others Per-
 haps Cremated--0ne Mnn Who Es-
 capped Declares Everything Happened
 So Quickly He Doubts the Safety of
 Any of the Others.
 Pittsburg, Jan. 9-One of the worst explosions in the history of the Jones & Laughlin Steel works occurred to- night about [ o'clock at the Eliza fur naces, when a large quantity of gas which had accumulated at the base of the furnaces became ignited and ex- ploded. Tons of molten metal was showered around the furnaces for ra- dius of forty feet Out of force or thirty-five men employed at the fur mace when the explosion occurred three of them., John Cramer, Andrew Feath- erka and Gustave Kessler have been taken to the morgue, their bodies hor- rlbly mutilated by the fire. Seven men are in hospitals fatally injured, and twenty-four others have not been ac- counted for.
 While the mill officials are inclined to believe that all the missing men were not cremated in the molten metal, noth- ing definite Is known as to their pres ent whereabouts. Only one man, George Knox, has turned up since the explosion, and Knox says everything happened so quickly that he doubts whether the men escaped. Chief Peter Snyder of the Fourth fire district, was seriously injured while directing the firemen to extlnguish the fire which followed the explosion. Snyder was stationed on a trestle thirty feet high, when lie slipped and fell to the ground, injuring himself internally
 While responding to the alarm hose carriage was struck by street car, injuring two of the firemen and killing horse The windows of the car were shattered and panic followed among the passengers. Two women were in> jured by being trampled.
 The scenes about the entrance to the mill were pathetic when the families of the victims learned of the disaster Women, men and children gathered be- fore the gate and made frantic efforts to gain admission. Several of the fren- zied women rushed upon the officers and fought them, crying to be allowed to enter the mill to see their loved ones. Young children ran up and dowr the streets crying that their father was dead. Later 1t became necessary tt call additional police to forcibly escort the women and children to their homes
 The officials at the mill refused to al low any one to enter the yard where the furnace is located. Ali information was refused to newspaper men, the of l ficials saying that later they might is sue statement A heavy guard O workmen was placed at the yard en trance, and even the police were pow erless to get past the foreign work men.

NEW MOVE IN THE FIGHT
M;CLELLAN'S SIDE SPRINGS
 SURPRISE. IN CONTEST.

order Obtained From Supreme Court
 for Attorney General Jackson to
 Show Cause Tomorrow Why Order
 Giving Him Access to the Ballot
 Boxes Should Not be Vacated-Acts
 ms Stay on All Proceedings.
 New York, Jan 9,--Assistant Corpor- ation Counsel Butts made a new move in the battle for the possession of the boxes containing the ballots cast in the last mayoralty election, when late to- day he obtained from Judge Amend, of the supreme court, an order for Attor- ney General Jackson to show cause next Friday why the order issued by Judge Hendrick giving the attorney geeral access to the ballot boxes should not be vacated.
 Earlier in the day Attorney-G General Jackson had an order from Justice Hendrick calling upon President John | T. Dooling and the other members of the board of elections to show cause why they should not be adjudged lguilty of contempt in wilfully disobey- | ing the order of the court placing the ballot boxes in the custody of the at torney- general. The attorney general had, he alleged, in securing the order, demanded access to the ballot boxes from MT. Dooling last night, and been refused. The order was made return able this afternoon.
 When, however MT. Dooling appear ed before Judge Hendrick in response to the courts order, MT, Butts exhibit- ed the order issued by Judge Amend, 1 and explained that it acted as a stay of all proceedings until determined.
 Thereupon Judge Hendrick adjourn ed the hearing on the contempt motin until twenty-four hours after the order issued by Judge Amend shall be decid- ed upon.
 This postpones all further proceed i ings until Friday. During the day MT. Jackson was served with papers in the injunction obtained from Justice Gay nor by the Eagle Warehouse company, of Bdooklyn last night, restraining him from taking possession of the ballot boxes in the custody of the warehouse company. Later MT. Jackson, Deputy Attorney-General Dolson and Clarence J. Shearn called on Justice Gaynor and were informed that his order applied to the ballot boxes of Kings county that are in the Eagle storage ware house. Deputy Attorney-GeneralDol- son said that the attorney general had already sealed 200 of the boxes slowed there, and that Justice Gaynors order would not interfere with the work or hfand.

CARLISLE MAY Bh ABOLISHED.
Senate Committee Agrees to Strike Out
 Appropriation for Institute.

Washington, Jan, 9.-Carlisle insti- ute, which was established at Carlisle, Pa, in 1879 for the higher education of the Indian, is in danger of being abol- ished. The b-committee of the senate committee on Indian affairs, which has the Indian appropriation bill under consideration, has agreed to report an amendment striking out the appropri- ation for this school. The reason ad- vanced by the members of the com mittee is that a school so far away from Indian reservations Is not so eff fective as the western educational in stitutions for the Indians.
 The appropriation bill, as it passed the house, carried $169,000 for the sup port of the school during the ensuing year. The members of the sub-commit- tee are not confident that the senate will accept the amendment or even that the full committee will follow its suggestion, but they will make an effort to have it adopted, believing that if they fail movement will have been started that eventually will bring about the abolishment of the school.
 One member of the committee said to-day that, while he was not ready to say that the higher education of the Indian has been a failure, he could not overlook the fact that few instances could be cited where the Indian had made the most of the benefits of his Bchooling.

WORKING FoRREcoNoIL1AT1oN
Little Likelihood of One, However, Be-
 tween the MarlbOrOughs.

London, Jan. 9,-he presence here of some members of the family of the Duchess of Marlborough, who was Consuelo Vanderbilt, and the expected arrival of Reginald Vanderbilt and others, has led to various reports con cerning the differences between the duke and duchess, one announcing their reconciliation, and another that deed of separation had been signed. AS a matter of fact, the situation to-day is as it was announced in these dispatch es on January 4, that there has been ne reconciliation and that there is not likely to be, although some friends of the Marborough's are still working to that end. The suggestion that deed of separation actually has been signed is equally untrue There have been all most continual exchanges, however, be- tween the legal representatives of the pair, and some definite legal action fix ing tn efuture relations of the couple is expected shortly. It is believed that this action will involve the custody of the children and financial arrange ments. As soon as this step is com pleted the duchess accompanied by her mother and brother, will go on a yachting trip to the Mediterranean.

May be From Passengers Of Ponce.

Pensacola, Fla, Jan. 9-shortly be- fore midnight tonight tn ewireless station at the Pensacola navy yard picked up a message from the steamer Caracas. It was at San Juan and ad- dressed to Governor and Mrs. Win throp and while no signature was caught by the local station, it is be- lieved here that it was from passen- gers. of the steamer Ponce though this lacked any verifcation. It was as follows:
 "Jan. g. To Governor and Mrs. Win throp. We wish you happy and pros porous New Year, and congratulate you"
 The local station could not get into communication with either the steamer or San Juan, or learn whether the steamer had the Ponce in tow. The vessels owners believe, however, that the Ponce is in tow of the Maracas not the Caracas. The Caracas is bound for Porto Rico, having sailed from New York January 5.

HOPING AGAINST HOPE.
Missing Ponce May be in Tow of Am
 other Overdue Steamer.

fsff9 OtneT UNGIuuS SNrusAVAs
 New York, Jan. s,-For the first time since anxiety became acute for the steamer Ponce, sailing from Ponce. December 26, should have reached this port six days later, the office of the owners, the New York and Porto Rico Steamship company were closed to- night. At . late hour General Man ager Franklin Mooney left for his home at Elizabeth, N. J. Up to that time otidings upon which the com pany placed credence had been receiv- ed of the missing vessel, which sailed with a crew of fifty-two and seven passengers.
 Innumerable rurnors have been in- yestigated and many theories set at naught. One of the latest reports was that southern wireless coast stations Tad received a wireless communica- ton from the Ponce on January z.
 The Ponce is not equipped with wire less though it was suggested that a message concerning the Ponce might have been sent by some other craft having wireless equipment and the message been misread.
 The officials of the line not only re- fuse to abandon hope but reiterated tonight that they confidently expected that the Ponce would be heard from within the next twenty-four hours.
 The assurance of the company is staked upon the fact that the steamer ,Maracas of the Trinidad Shipping and Trading company is three days over due from Trinidad. The Maracas would cover much the same course as the Ponce and MT. Mooney believes that the Maracas is towing the dis abled steamer to port.
