Elects AUSTRALIAN VISIT.

The visit of the Atlantic fleet to AUS
tralasian waters will mark an epoch
and from the time anchor is dropped al
Auckland, New Zealand, until the big
guns boom farewell upon leaving Mel
bourne life will be one continual round
Of pleasure for officers and men who
serve the great republic. Sydney is the
only other place to be visited by the
warships in that portion of the globe.
Australians are said to be more like
Americans in thought and habit than
any other branch of the worlds fam
lily of peoples, and il has been we'll said
that what the United States as a ma
ton is today Australia hopes to be to-
morrow or the day after. The people
of the antipodes have a genuine taste
for all things American, especially the
amount Of steam carried by the aver
age Yankee when he starts to accom-
plish anything.
Australia is remote from the beaten
track of internatio callers, and the
friendly invasion of the big battleships
will relieve the monotony with an
event of more than ordinary impor-
tance. Therefore extraordinary prep
aratiOns have been made by the colo
NAL government and citizens alike to
show their appreciation of the compli-
ment paid them when Uncle Sam ac-
cepted their invitation and sent the
floating fortresses TO visit them.
The feet will arrive at Auckland
Aug. 9, and remain six days. The pro-
gram Of entertainment is too long for
review here. but it is ample and varied
and calculated to win the hearts of the
visitors. Aug. 20 the warships will
drop anchor at Sydney for a week of
receptions and the like. During the
stay of the fleet in this port the thea
tres and other places of public amuse-
ment will be free to men In Uncle
Sans uniform.
Melbourne, the last place on the list
in Australia, will be reached Aug. %.
and here will occur the grandest DEM
onstration of all. Melbourne is the sew
enth city in the British empire, with
100000 inhabitants. and only dates back
to 1885. Less than seventy-five years
old, the capital of Australia has pro-
crossed after the manner of American
cities. her citizens showing the same
pluck, ability and enterprise. 1t is the
center of social, political and CONNER
cial life in the antipodes, and is modern
and up-to-date in every respect. The
reception of the fleet here will equal il
not surpass anything attempted out
side of our home Pacific ports, and can
not help but strengthen the ties of
friendship and bonds of sympathy
which now happily exist between the
great colony and the United States.

Castro Is the moving cause. and IL the
situation does not materially improve
in a very short time it will behoove
Venezuela to look a leedle oud.'
Outside of the meeting of delegates
from all over the civilized world at
The Hague to discuss arbitration, the
limitation Of ornaments. etc, Holland
plays an inconspicuous part in the
worlds politics. Two hundred and
fifty years ago 1t shared with England
the supremacy of the world. 1t crushed
the Spaniards. checked the Portuguese
and several times walloped the English
on water. Indeed, after the battle of
Goodwin Sands, Nov. 20, 1862, Admiral
Van Tromp paraded a broom at the
masthead OF his flagship as a token
June, 1867, De Ruyter sailed up the
Thames and blockaded London. In the
Baltic, also, The Netherlands became
masters by the peace Of Copenhagen,
which kept the waters of the Baltic
open for Dutch trade; and at the same
time they actually held in their hands
the commerce of the world and gained
the admiration of all Europe by their
achievements in philology. theology.
natural philosophy and art.
The prosperity OF the country de-
clined as the power of England in
creased, and when, in 1852, led by jeal-
ousy and considering the opportunity
good on account of the American revo-
luton, it declared war against Eng
land, it suffered an almost total eclipse
and disappeared from the ranks of
first-class powers. Dutch thrift and
commercial enterprise, however, are
still known and appreciated the world
over.
The affair with Venezuela will be
watched with keen interest. and it is
not improbable that Uncle Sam would
look on with unconcern if Castro gets
good trouncing for his impudence.

DREAD AND THE BOY.

DIR. Wiley, the expert of the agricul-
tural department, is a good deal of an
iconoclast. He is responsible for the
pure food law; he has discouraged the
use of poisons in American diet; he has
even gone so far as 10 upset the whisky
trade by his regulations governing the
doctoring of blends and mixed drinks.
But all these were comparatively
harmless ventures. The doctor has I'M
dertaken to say that the bread mother
used to make was not particularly
good, certainly not so wholesome as the
product OF a modern, first-class bakery
where the mixture is scientifically ac-
curate and all the process is mechanical
from start TO finish. This was what
Wiley told a convention of bakers and
biscuitmakers the other day; and the
cruel thing about it is its truth.
By the machinery of today bread is
mixed, the dough made and the bread
cooked without touch from human
hands. 1t is absolutely sanitary and its
proportions are determined absolutely
by chemical formulate. The old-fash-
toned way of guessing at proportions,
determining the heat OF the oven by
guesswork and baking on general prin-
ciples got fairly good results, so DIR.
Wiley says. but it is a relic of pioneer
days and has no place in modern do
mestic economy.
Some OF us would like TO debate that
point with the great chemist Recol-
lections of an old-fashioned, salt-risin'
bread suggest mighty pleasant days.
Mixed with good butter and honey in
between meals, that bread certainly did
help a boy pass the time painIessly.
In maple sugar time il took loaves and
loaves of such bread to assuage the
pangs of hunger; even if spread with
nothing but plain sugar it helped great
ly in tiding over the awful gap be-
tween lunch and dinner in the long
summer days. Possibly the good doc
tor is right about it and the bakery is
saving mankind labor and health and
life, but 1t is good to think that occa-
sionally some old-fashioned housekeep-
er will insist on making her own bread
and preserving the traditions of those
blessed salt-risin' days.

been at the hospital since Sunday last,
when he underwent an operation for
appendicitis. 1t was then discovered
that he was suffering with far more
serious ailment. The bowels had be-
come twisted and his condition was
found to be such that surgeons held
out little hope for his recovery. He
rallied, however, and his progress was
satisfactory until seven o'clock Wedne
day evening, when steadily he began to
grow worse. AT midnight it appeared
that recovery was impossible.
The members of the senator's family
were with him when he died, having
been informed that there was little
hope that he would survive the night.
Col. Ransdell, sergeant-at-arms of the
senate, at once made arrangements
for the removal of the body to the

AWFUL BLAST KILLS %
TEN TONS OF DYNAMITE Elk.
PLoDED AT PINoLE, CAL.

White Men and Twenty-Four
Cinnamon Perish.

Berkeley, Cal, Feb. 22.-With q
force that shook the entire bay region
like an earthquake the packing house
of the Hercules Powder works at Pin
ole. IA miles north of here. blew up
late Thursday afternoon and in the
explosion four white men and "a
Cinnamon were killed.
Ten tons of dynamite went up In
the terrific blast, shattering the sheds
10 dust and splinters.
w. w. Stillwell, foreman Of the
packing house, was blown to atoms at
his post of duty. Manuel Enos, Joseph
Grace and W. A. Rodriguez were the
other white men killed. The % dead
included every man who was at work
in the packing house. Flames burst
forth in the ruins following the explo-
sion, and threatened the gelatine
house, where two score girls we're at
work. A panic ensued, and many were
cut by flying glass and crushed and
trampled in the mad rush for the
doors. The loss to the company due
to the accident il placed at about
100000. No definite cause for the
accident can be given.
The families of the men who daily
risked their lives at the powder plant
came running from the little hamlet
of Pinole seeking news Of loved ones.
The danger of an additional explosion
prevented those who escaped injury
| from approaching too near the wreck,
and it was not until late in the evening
| that the number of dead and injured
was known. Charles Birmingham, Jr.,
| superintendent of the plant, took
charge of the mine following the ex-
7 plosion. An armed guard was thrown
! around the powder works and no one
was allowed to get within the danger
line.
| A fire-fighting brigade was organ
/ lied and in the face Of hazards that
might have meant death for Btrming
ham or any of his men, the flames
were fought down and most of the
plant not torn to tatters by the expio
sion was saved. AS far away as Berk
