Explosion on a Steamer.

Philadelphia, July S.-TWO persons
were killed and ten others injured by an
explosion on the oil tank steamer Shen-
sngO shortly before noon. Twenty work
men we're below decks in the steamship
when the explosion in the lower alter
hold of the vessel sh jOk the hull from
stem to st;rn. The men were caught
under binding smoke that scorched
and blistered them and were unable to
find gsngways. Two bodies, terribly
burned, were lifted out. Other lsborsrs,
Overalls blazing, ran the gantlet OF FIRE
and fell in sgony to the ground on reach
ing outer air. Spontaneous combustion
of petroleum accommodations is blamed
for the accident. The damage to the
vessel is slight.

Slaughter In Persia.

st. Petersburg, July ga massacre
is on st Tsbriz, Ptrsis, and the city Is
being sacked by a blood-thirty and
merciless Cossack horde according to
authentic dispatches received here
tonight
Prior to the stsr!ing of the massacre
$40 persons had been killed and upwards
Of 700 wounded in the fighting in the
outskirts of the city since last Sunday.
Authentic figures OF the number slain in
the massacre, which is stll believed to
be on, are not given, but sn estimate
places the number of dead st close on
two thousand.
A state of absolute ansrchy reigns 10
the city. Thtreis ashortage of bread,
and hundreds of the rebel defenders Of
the city are said to be starving.
A report received here this morning
stated that the city had surrendered to
Rschin Khan, the shah commander, who
has been In charge OF the seige OF Tabriz.
II indicated that the trouble was over,
but later advices show that it is pre-
mStare.
Tonigbt's dispktoh says that an ar
mistice was arranged which virtually
amounted to truce. The Tabriz rebels
ceased firing aud PERMITTED Rachin Khan
and his forces to enter the city upon the
promise OF the English and Russian re-
representatives. that the shah troops would
be restrained and not permitted to engage
In any disorder.
Rschin Khan acceded ID this demand
of the English and Russian authorities
after being warned that If he violated
his word there would be Intervention
by the powers.
White flags were run up st various
points throughout the city and the shah's
troops entered, aud the slaughter re-
ported above followed.
At the last report the street fighting
was on in all pat, of the city and Bschin
Khan WIS making desperate efforts to
marshal his badly scattered troops.

of money and a little energetic work
would make a wonder fol change. Ii
appears to be the impression of those
having the street shsirs of the city in
charge that unless they are laying yisri-
fed brick psvements or constructing
sewers, they are doing nothing, whereas
little repair work and little more
cleaning would improve matters consid-
erably. The "stich In time saves nine"
principle is 70, acted upon at all, where
as it could be to crest advantage.

Japanese Csblnet TO Resign.

Toxic, July 3.-The cabinet of Prime
Minister Ssiopji announces through the
Jill, its official organ, that it will resign
tomorrow. The reason assigned is the
i'll health of the premier, but the real
cause IL believed to be the constant fric-
ton between the elder statesmen and the
cabinet regarding the financial condition
of the country. Baron Kalsura, who
was succeeded as premier by SaioniI
tbrae years ago, will likely return to the
post. He is known to favor milder
policy than that advocated by Saionii.

Unresti In the PhlIlppInes,

Hong Kong, July 9 There is every
indication that the. discomfort that Is
affecting the natives races in the far
East Is, under the encouragement of
the japanese, spreading to the Philip
pines. During the lsst six months the
snti-American feeling in the Philippines
has become more intense, particularly
in the remote districts where the in
Auence of FilipnJis who in Manila sup
port American authority is little felt.
A party of Filipinos arrived here a
few days ago and opened negotiations
with the shippers OF several tramp
steamers in the ports. The authorities
became suspicious thst "gnn running"
was planned and when the invest CATION
was pressed, the Filipuois separate and
went to Macao and Canton. Two Chinese
juuks, suspected of carrying csrgoes of
French rifles, have also disappeared.
Filipinos here are opposed to q rising
in the Philippines, but they say that
one is sure to come.

IF ANY attempt has been made to en-
force the laws. state and city, against
the use of fire crackers, toy pistols &c,

explosion of those ear-Splilting device
and msny country people afraid to drive
their horses through the street duiing a

A reasonable amount of enthusiasm and
noise is expected on the Fourth of July
and may be right and proper, but this
should Eot cary with it the right Of a
few to distract the msjonty for days be-
fore and after a holiday. The laws
should be enforced or taken from the

As STATED yesterday, the State Board
of Parlons, of Idaho, has committed the
sentence of Harry Orchard, who WAS
under sentence to hang today fer the
murder of former Governor Steunenberg,
10 imprisonment for life. Orchard was
arrested two days after the assassination
of Steunenberg, and while confined in
the penitentissy, confessed his gailt, at
the same time asserting that he was en-
ployed to commit the crime by officers
of the Weitern Federation of Miners-
Charles n. Meyer, president, and Will
liam ID. Haywood, secretary-treasurer.
Haywood and Pettibone we're arrested
and acquitted after memorable trials,
ia which Orchard told story Of whole
sale assassinations which shocked the
world. Orchard plead guilty and later,
in pronounciDg the sentence Of death,
Judge Wood recommended that the
Board of PsrdOns commute the sentence,
saving he was firmly convinced that
Orchard hsd told the whole and exact
truth at the trials of Haywood and Pet
tibone. and that he was, therefore, in the
service he had reude'ed the slsle, tn
titled to clemeucy. Haywood and Petit
bone are st hbtr'y but their lives must
be living death, that is, if they are not
entirely bereit of conscience.

FOURTH OF JULY.

TUX VT
Tomorrow will be the anniversary
OF the one hundred and thirty'second
anniversary of the proclsiming of the
Declaration of independence of the
United States. Brought to the birth at
a period when revolutions and unrest
were occasioning anxiety to crowned
heads throughout the civilized world, the
infant nation, isolated as 1t vas, mani
tested vigor from the first, and it has
Continued to grow until at present 1t isa
recognized world power. AT first, ike
the late Southern Confederacy, 1t merely
desired to be let alone, and while POliti-
cal storm wHs threatening the stsbll-
ity of thrones the ship of state, follow
ing the chart laid out by Washington,
kept aloof from foreign entsnglement'
and vortexes which wrought 80 much
damage in other climes. The Young
nation. however, had its troubles. 1t
was forced to pass through the perIls oil
infancy and youth, as avsriciOus powers
viewed its development with all the
preiadices of royalty, while hostile alb
origlnes we're ever hsrassiug its progress
siye civilization. While still in its youth
the mother country. smsrting under the
stupid mistake OF George III. in recog'
MIXING the offspring as a free and indie
pendent power, attempted to again at
tsch the country to Bfiiannia's apron
strings. The taste for freedom, how
ever, was too deep-ro0ted to submit to
such a fate and the second war for indie
pendence showed that the British lion
was unequal in its struggle with lis cubs.
The dream of recovering the North
American colonies faded away, aud as
time went on new and less bigo;ted gen.
erItions of Bhtons began to regard the
United States with favor, looking upon
l., as they do today, IS the second Eng
disappearing nation of the globe. The
United States has during its career -four
ished wonderfully. Extending over a
vast ares, it is blessed by nature with
unlimited resources and its development
has been rapid. The spirit which char
acterized the Fourth of July during the
early days of the republic is not in evil
dence now. The day is in the main rele'
gated to excursions, picuics, baseball
games, &c. The patriotism of by-gone
yesrs is wanting. 10 the olden times
the Declaration of Independence was
read at public gatherings and orst'oDs
we're delivered by men Of national repu-
tatiOn. 1t is not so now. A large per-
centage OF the population forms poly
glott mass of humanity which manifests
but little interest in the principles upon
which the constitution Of this country
was framed, and instead of the patriotic
expressions Of former days the Fourth OF
July is often made an occasion for the
expression of sOcialistic dreams or the
more dangerous doctrines of anarchy.
