San Antonio, Texas.-At least thir-
ty-two men were killed and parts Of
their bodies strewn for blocks around
when big passenger engine in the
Southern Pacific shops blew up here.
The engine stood in a square formed
by the copper house, blacksmith shop
and round house, all of which were
wrecked. A part of the locomotive
crashed into house several blocks
away and seriously hurt woman.
Twenty Of the bodies have been
identified, but what is believed to be
twenty more is little more than a
tangled mass Of fragments of human
flesh and bones that probably never
will be separated.
These fragments were found
jammed into crevices about the build.
Ing wrecked, In the street and entan.
gled in machinery of the shops.
Tn, shops have been manned for
several weeks by strikebreakers i'm.
ported when shopmen of the Harrl.
man lines went out. 1t is believed
most Of the killed are from the North
and East.
1t is believed the explosion was
caused by carelessness OF some one Of
the men killed, In allowing cold wa
ter to run into the hot boiler OF the
locomotive. The engine was No. 7O4
and was practically new. 1t was in
the shops for inspection. 1t was Of
the large mogul type.
Besides the thirty-two believed to
have been killed. fifty persons were
injured. These for the most part were
In remote sections Of the buildings
wrecked, for those close to the engine
or In the main parts of the building
either were killed by the blast or
crushed by falling material when the
buildings crumbled. The monetary
loss will be about 100000.
Freaks of the terrific impact were
many. but one of the most strange Is
that the driving wheels of the engine
were not disturbed, while parts Of the
huge locomotive were driven blocks.
The large wheels apparently did not
bulge.

A WASTE OF THE PUBLIC FUNDS.

The appropriation of quarter mil
lion dollars by the House, to provide
funds for the fiftieth anniversary Of
the signing of the emancipation act,
the celebration to take place at Sa-
vannah, strikes us as about as gross
a waste of public funds, just at this
time, as one could devise.
The Democrats controlling the
House are Boosting of having cut eX-
penses here. there and everywhere in
the interest of an economical admin
istration of the government. Every
scrub woman who is lifted off the pay
roll. every clerk whose salary is dis
continued, every official whose head
drops into the basket to save money,
is duly heralded to the country as a
signal instance of how true the part7
is to its pledge to save the peoples
money, to protect the public from the
extravaganza and wastefulness that
has marked the former administra-
lions.
This is all well enough, but to make
such savings and then turn around and
throw away quarter million dollars
on a celebration such as is proposed
at Savannah strikes us as inconsistent
cy run to the full limit. There is no
especial desire for such a celebration.
The country has a surfeit of centen
malls and semi-centennials If the
negroes of Georgia, or of Savannah,
want to get up celebration on their
own hook it is all right. But why
the government should step in and pay
out such large amount of the funds
raised from the public for this pur-
pose we fail to see.
This appropriation is about on a
parity with the dollar a day pension
business that the House passed. Just
because it is a Democratic House is
no reason why its acts should not BE-
criticised by Democratic papers. Ana
for one We believe in each of these
instances the House, or the majority
controlling it, has laid itself open tC
well deserved. criticism.

Miss Short, anxiously glancing down

limbs.
