OIL BARK BLOWS UP.
Twelve Men Killed in Marine Disaster
at M~arseiIIes.

Marseilles, April 1.-The French |
tank bark Jules Henry, Captain EsCof-
fer, in the oil trade between Phila-
delphia and Cette, blew UP this morn
ing and was totally wrecked. Twelve
members Of her crew were killed and
many others wounded.
A representative of the Veritas
agency, accompanied by the second
officer, was inspecting the vessel at
the time she blew up. In the course
of their work the two men entered
the tank hold. Immediately after
there was a tremendous explosion. The
entire deck of the park was lifted and
the forward portion of the ship was
wrenched off. Twenty men of the crew
at work painting and repairing were
blown into the air. Great sheets Of
fire shot up from the vessel and in
few seconds she was enveloped il
flames.
Prompt aid came from neighborins
ships in the harbor, but it was impos
tsib1e for the small boat to get clos
!, into the burning vessel. Six burne'
and mutilated bodies have been recov
cred from the wreckage. A numbe
= of wounded men also ave bee
brought ashore. Others still are miss
. ing and undoubtedly have persisted
The second officer and the agency in
lspector were thrown high into the al
by the force of the explosion. The
are still alive, but are not eXpecte
to live.
The Jules Henry discharged he
. cargo at Cette and arrived here Mare
81 with her tanks empty for inspet
- ton. 1t is presumed that the O
fumes in the tanks exploded.

would he oppose donation of it to

been SO often suggested in one form

IN this he is not at all sentimental, and
he would oppose any action looking to
transfer of it for any purely senti.

property into cash, owing to the great

New York. Dec. 2s.-The New York
Times in an editorial says:
The fiftieth anniversary of the
emancipation proclamation will doubt
less be celebrated with fitting cere-
monies in various parts OF the coun.

hold national exposition of the ma.

still very much in the air. The New
York Age is annoyed by what it con-
siders "the questioning and confused
mental state" Of the Times in regard
to this matter. The proposition is,
however. certainly questionable.
The assertion that any large num-

Attempts to concentrate a national
