Spontaneous Combustion Among Coal
Communicated to Dynamits-Not All
Bodies Of Victims Recovered.

Baltimore, Nd, March s.-The ex-
plosion Of dynamite in Baltimore har-
Dor yesterday. which caused the death
of forty or fifty men and the injury of
as many others. serioaihy crippled the
coast defenses of the flarbor, 1t was
learned today. In many instances the
concrete foundations Of the heavy guns
at Forts Howard, Armistead, and Car
roll, were cracked. while several Of
the guns themselves were damaged by
falling pieces Of steel from the wrecked
steamer. At Fort Armistead the dam
age will reach several thousand dol
lars and Fort Carroll $2.500.
Several Investigations Started.
Various investigations Of the ex-
plosion are under way today. The
coroner Of Arundel county will impanel
a jury to begin consideration Of the
case at once. The navy department at
Washington, apprised Of the serious
damage to the collier Jason. about to
be accepted by the department, will in

Baltimore, Gilbert Fraser, also will In

Cause Never Known.
Authorities. however, say the real
cause of the disaster will never be
definitely learned. because those who
give first hand information are dead.
The general theory ID that the coal In
the vessels bunkers was set afire by
spontaneous combustion. and the flames
were communicated to the dynamite:
ii is regarded a. almost certain that
an of the bodies have not been recov-
cred from the waters Of the harbors,
while others may never be recovered.
The financial loss IL about $2b0,000.

tive Pujo, who presided over the mousse
money trust and others had engage
ments with the president. The presi.
dent also received the supreme court
in the blue room Of the White House
during the forenoon.
President Wilson will begin prepara.
ton OF his first message to congress
next week. It il probable that 1t Will
deal with only two subjects-tne
tariff, and currency reform briefly.
During the special session other mes
saRes may be: sent to congress. on Var1-
Gus subjects. and 1t is likely that the
attention Of congress will be especially
called to the need for currency legisia-
tion after the house has disposed OF
most Of the tariff schedules.
Predictions today were that the pres
ident viii not attempt to attack the
present tariff In a statistical manner,
but that he will confine himself largely
to an exposition Of a general policy ana
point out schedules that he believes are
in particular need Of reform.
Only to Court Of st. James.
President Wilson has offered to
Richard Olney. Of Boston, secretary OF
state in President Cleveland's cabinet
the post Of ambassador to Great BTU
ain. It is not known whether MT. Olney
will accept, and it was said TO-DAY tnat
the matter had not gone SO far as the
sounding OF the court Of st. James as
to Mr.. Olney's acceptability.
No appointments to other diplomatic
nosts had been finally decided on to-
day. ,..,
President Wilson today finally de-
cided that he would not be accom-
panied in public by uniformed aides
The latter will be with him only on
state occasions at the White House, CT
at army, or navy functions.
The president is not fond OF cere-
mony or quasi appearance, which
he thinks the presence Of uniformed
aides invariably gives. There are
twelve aides at the White House noW'
hut the number probably will be great
ly reduced.

Fine Address by Prof. O'Gara at
Tuesday Evening Meeting.

one of its best meetings Tuesday
evening, when it was addressed by
Professor O'Gara OF Medford. on the
subject of Fruit Culture" Profess
sor O'Gara was at his best and gave
an address which was both interest
ing and instructive. In his opinion
the Newtown Pippip is the best apple
by all odds to raise Too many other
districts can successfully raise the
red apples to give the Spitzenberg
the pre-eminence in the markets
which the Newtown has. Professor
OGara also went extensively into the
matter of soils best adapted to an
pies and pears, and also into meth
ods of spraying, pruning, cultivat
ing, etc. He also discussed the mat
ter of the varieties of pears ADAPTED
to the valley, placing Bose, Comice
and Winter Nelis well at the head
in shipping fruit. and the Bartlett
for canning and drying.
He did not touch upon the stone
fruits, but will give a talk upon
them at some later meeting.
At the next meeting President
Withecombe of the Oregon expert
ment station at Corvallis will be the
principal speaker. His subject will
be dairying and will be especially
pertinent and timely in view of the
fact that the project of organizing a
cooperative creamery company will
be the special order for that meet
ing, which will be held April /
Every citizen of Talent and surround
ing country is cordially invited to be
present.
