THREE HUNDRED TONS MYsTE-
RlousLY EXPLODE IN BAL.
TIMoRE HARBoR.
SHOCK FELT OVER 100 MILES
Moving Shipment From Barge
One Rescue Ship Destroyed
and Another Sinks.

Baltimore. Md. March 3.-Three
hundred tons Of dynamite being load
ed in the British tramp steamer Alum
Chine, in the lower harbor off Fort
Howard, exploded, instantly killing
from 40 TO so men, woundiug and
manning three score more, some of
whom may die, and destroyed 100000
worth OF property.
The Alum Chine and a loading
scow alongside her were annihilated:
the tug Atlantic, which twice went to
the rescue of imperiled seamen, was
set on fire and later sank; the United
States collier Jason, Just completed
and ready for trial, was raked TO her
deck and her armor riddled, and
buildings in Baltimore and cities and
towns many miles away we're rocked
by the force of the terrific explosion.
The cause OF the disaster is I'M
known, and federal authorities have
instituted an investigation. Excited
survivors told conflicting stories,
some insisting that negro stevedore
caused the explosion by jamming a
spike into a case of dynamite. This
is denied by eyewitnesses, who de-
clare smoke was seen pouring from
the Alum Chimes hold several min
utes before the explosion occurred.
OF the injured, score are amez'
ingly manned, their skulls fractured
arms and legs torn off and their bod
les terribly lacerated. At least 15

a general call to arms for all the peo-

The campaign against Huerta forces
in Sonora was begun when state
troops proceeded south from Hermo-
sillo, burning bridges along the
Southern Pacific railway to prevent
federals from coming north from
Guaymas.
The insurgent officials Insist on alb
solutely local government, proclaim
ing secession. The movement OF
troops out OF Hermosillo is believed
to indicate that the proposal was re-
Jected by Huerta.
Cannons have been placed around
the city and entertainments are being
dug.
Americans here have been informed
that Sonora virtually has seceeded
from Mexico and will establish an in
dependent republic.

BRIDGE MEASURE
TAKES new turn
Amendment Offered, Provid-
ing that County Shall
Pay Maintenance.
(BY II. d. PAULsoN.o

Bismarck, n. D., March 5.-There
was another twist in the Grand Forks
bridge case this morning, the senate
adopting an amendment proposed by
Senator Trageton. which provides that
the county shall take over and pay
the maintenance of the bridges across
the Rcd river. while the city pays the
bonded Indebtedness. The amend
mcnt by Trageton was offered, after it
was generally understood that the
Grand Forks delegation would stand
by the amendments offered several
days ago, which put the whole mat
ter up to the people for a vote as to
whether or not they wanted to assume
the bonds and the maintenance of the
bridges.
Suspension Of the joint rules regu-
lating the passage of bills was neces-
sary this afternoon and by tonight
each house must have all of its own
bills passed and sent to the other
body.
Tomorrow and Friday will be given
over entirely by each house to the
consideration Of its bills. .
The dean unfair discrimination bill
was passed by the senate. while the
appropriation bill, providing for the
payment of certain drainage assess
ments in Cass county was killed.
Indications are that the initiative
and referendum legislation will not be
reached until the asst day Of the ses-
sion, and there is a possibility that
the same condition will prevail this
year on that question. as prevailed
two years ago over congressional ap-
~portionment. . -
