This is the story of one Of the men,

serves. On the second night of the
cruise Of the San Francisco n Of
the amateur tars was on watch. The
night was clear, and myriads of stars
twinkled in the sky, but there was no
moon. Suddenly the reserve sang out,
Light ahoy!" Where away?" asked
the officer of the deck. Far, far
away" replied the would-be man-of-
wars man. When the officer had re-
covered from the shock occasioned by
this unseamanlike answer he looked
over the rail in the direction indicat-
ed by the reserves finger, and then
he had another fit. whats the
matter with you?" growled the officer.

shouted, as if making amends for his

MEET HORRIBLE DEATHS
Three Women Victims of Tenement
House Fire.

New York.-One woman jumped
to her death and two were probably
fatally burned in a spectacular fire
which destroyed a four-story tene-
ment building in Sixth avenue.
Search of the ruins was begun for
the body of another oma believed
to have persisted.
The dead woman was Mrs. Mary
Celia and the most seriously injured
are her two daughters, Nellie and
Lizzie. Flames drove the firemen
back from the top floor apartment,
where the Sellas lived. The women
were on the fire escapes when the res
cuers raised extension ladders.
Mrs. Celia was e~nyeloped in flames.
Fireman Millward shouted to the
Cellas not to jump, but just as he was
reaching the top Of the ladder Mrs.
Celia, screaming with agony, climbed
over the railing and leaped. Mill
ward stretched out his arms in an
effort to catch the woman, but she
slipped through his hands. Her body
shot downward fifty feet. When she
was picked up she was dead.
Millward, although burned, con-
tinued up to the fire escape landing,
and rescued the two daughters, beat
ing out the flames on the night cloth
ing of the girls. Millward was badly
burned.

MUST TELL GRAFT STORY
Dam se Orders Prosecutor to
Answ~r1AH Questions Put by
Jury in Bride Quiz.

Danville, Ill.-Judge Kimbrough in
the circuit court handed down a de-
cision in the case of City Attorney
Jones, who declined to answer certain
questions regarding vote selling and
buying which the grand jury put to
him.
The court instructed Jones to an
swer all questions. The opinion stated
that, according to a decision Of the
Supreme court of the United States,
a witness before the grand jury is
immune from indictment. The court
also held that the city election law Is
unconstitutional, which means that
Jones cannot be questioned about hap
penings more than eighteen months
ago.
This means that the investigation
will continue until all the witnesses
now summoned are examined. 1t is
said that many indictments have been
voted, but whether they are for vote
selling is not known.

SAN FRANCISCO WINS
over CRESCENT CITY
PANAMA EXPOSITION PROBABLY
ON PACIFIC COAST.
Vote Was 259 to 43-RepubIicans
Overwhelmed tho Southern
Democrats.

Washington.-The house of repre-
sentatives Tuesday, by a vote of 1873
to 159, decided in favor of San Fran
cisco and against New Orleans as the
city in which an exposition to cele-
brate the opening of the Panama
canal in 1915 shall be held. This
vote was taken on a roll call to deter
mine whether the San Francisco reso-
luton or the New Orleans bill should
have consideration in the house. On
a final vote the San Francisco reso-
luton was passed by a vote of 259
to 43.
San Francisco won by capturing the
Republican vote in the house. The
New Orleans support came from the
Democrats. Only thirty Republicans
voted for New Orleans. Thirty-six
Democrats voted for San Francisco.
The San Francisco resolution does
not ask for government aid in any
form. 1t simply authorizes the presi-
dent of the United States to invite
nations to participate in the fair.
An effort to amend the resolution 10
include provisions for an interna-
titonal naval parade from Hampton
Roads, through the Panama canal
and up the west coast to San Fran
cisco was defeated on a parliamentary
point of order.
The New Orleans bill called for an
appropriation of $1,000 900 for a gov
eminent exhibit and the creation OF
a government commission.

position fight Ws unfTle. The gal
leries held tie greatest throngs OF

attempt to restrain the applause that
came from the spectators as the fight

DYNAMITE KILLS so
AND WOUNDS MANY
PROPERTY DAMAGE WILL BE
$75o,0o0 AT LEAST.
Shock of Conclusion Is Felt for AZ
Miles-Boiler ExpIodes After
Dynamite-Freakish Effect.

New York.-A cargo of dynamite in
transit from a freight a to the hold
of a lighter exploded Wednesday, and
in the widespread ruin that followed
seven men are known to have been
killed, seven more are missing, hun
dreds were wounded.
Thirty seems to be a conservative
estimate of the dead, and property
damage will hardly fall below $780,
600. The cause is v~ariously at
tributed to the dropping of a case OF
dynamite and to a boiler explosion on
cause probably never will be known.
The Jersey Central terminal was
wrecked; three ferry boats in the
slips were torn and splintered; lower
Manhattan, across the river, was
shaken from the street level to the
top of Singer tower; severe damage
was done in Brooklyn and Staten
Island to the immigrant detention
station on Ellis Island, and the shock
vas felt at Amityville, L.. l., thirty
five miles distant, and in New Jersey
at Long Branch, fcrty-five miles away.

side was the lighter Whistler, which
was so badly shattered that she sank
with her e of two, while the
Swedish steel barkentine Ingrid was
stripped of her rigging and the lives
of two deckhands aboard snuffed out.
Fragments of one mans head were
found swinging high on a tangled
piece of rope.
With the explosion the Katherine
w simply disappeared. Not a splin-
ter Of her has been found.
The freight car wen III in a puff
of dust. On the ear deck of the
barkentine Ingrid were found a pair
of iron trunks. They may be the
trunks of the dynamite car or of one
of the other four cars standing near
that were also torn to bits.
Fifty yards back stood another car
of dynamite.
The explosion ripped the roof Off

dynamite itself held true and rested
~quiescent in it's wooden boxes.

EARNINGS OF STEEL TRUST
Amounted to $144,o0o,o 900 for Past
Twelve Months.

New York.-The quarterly report
of the United States Steel Corpora.
ton for the three months ending De-
cember 81 last, as made public at a
directors meeting Tuesday, shows
earnings of $50, 990,97S, with net earn
ings of $z0,462 AGO. These figures are
somewhat below recent estimates and
the falling off is largely due to De-
cember earnings, which were only
$7,249,991. Total surplus for 1910
amounted to $685. 19, and the bal
ance of the surplus carried into this
ear is close to $11, 0O0, 900, despite
the charging off of $6,000,000 for ex-
penditures to be made in the way Of
new plants and construction.
Total earnings of the corporation
for 1910 aggregate $141,144,0 01, which
compares with $131,491,414 in 1903,
and s91, SAT- ITO in 1908.

TIDAL WAVE FOLLOWS
ERUPTION 300 DEAD
FIVE Philippine VILLAGES. ON
LAKE TAAL DESTROYED.
Rain Of Mud and Stones Hits Towns
20 Miles Away-Natives Flee
in Terror.

Manila.-An American school teach
er, who traversed the west shore of
Lake Taal, telegraphs that five small
villages were destroyed by the tidal
wave, and that not less than 300 per-
SON have been killed in that vicinity.
Many were burned in fires started
by molten masses.
The government is hurrying relief
trains to the scene. The tidal wave
followed the eruptions of the vol
cano Taal.
All the towns within a radius Of
twenty miles have suffered damage
from the rain Of mud and stones,
which, still continues. The native
population in all directions are aban-
doning the villages and fleeing to the
hills In terror.
The sky was cloudless and there
was no wind, but the muddy rain fell
steadily. The natives have abandoned
their village homes in the vicinity
of Lake Taal and sought refuge in
the surrounding hills. Mount Taal
rises in the center of Lake Taal, a
body of water not more than fifteen
miles in circumference. 1t is "a miles
from this city, from which dense
clouds of smoke rising from the
crater are plainly visible.
The observatory authorities believe
that Manila is in no danger, but there
is some alarm among the natives, who
recall the destruction caused by
Mount Mayor, the other volcano Of
Luon, in 1897. So far, however,
Mayor has shown no threatening dis
turbance.
Investigators of the bureau of
science report that with the first vio-
lent eruption of Taal on Saturday the
volcanic island appeared to sink five
feet, and the waters of the lake,
rising, swept the shores a mile in
land, carrying away the bamboo
shacks and catching a score of ma
tives.
