Prior Explosion at Capitol
Causes the Discontinuance
of Use of Gas in the Building

The explosion in a reception room Of
the Senate last night brought UP rem
iniscences of the explosion a number
of years ago that wrecked the crypt
of the Supreme Court and which re-
suited in the Immediate discontinuance
of the use of gas anywhere around the
Capitol building. That explosion oc-
CURED between l:30 and pm. SUM-
day, November 8. 1898. being caused by
the ignition of accumulated gas which
had leaked from service pipes in and
near the crypt.
The force of the explosion was SO
great as to wreck the interior Of the
crypt and set fire to the documents
stored there. When employees of the
Capitol reached the spot gas flames
were faring in every direction, and the
entire Are department of the District
of Columbia, with the exception of a
few pieces of apparatus stationed in
the suburbs, was rushed to Capitol Hill
to night the flames that for time
threatened the destruction of the build
ing. More than $4,000 damage was
caused by the explosion and the fire
which followed.
An illustration of the force Of the
explosion was the fact that q heavy
iron door opening out Of a short cor
ridor adjoining the crypt into a small
courtyard was torn from its heavily
bolted hinges and hurled across the
courtyard, over a low portion of the
building landing on the west terrace
several hundred feet from the spot
where the explosion occurred.

The latest Russian official state

of rear guard character, for the
most part, is continuing. Lublin

The Russians also concede the
German claim to new successes in

The Austro-German advance in Po-

have shown no disposition to diminish
the intensity of their eastern offensive.

Plans Extra Precautions
Because of the EXPLOSION

Secret service and police oficials are
expected to take extra precautions at
the White House in view of the ex-
p1osion in the Senate wing Of the Cap
itol. especially If it should be con-
cluded that the explosion resulted from
bomb placed by a demented or GRIM
inally disposed person. The police
force at the White House Is not a
large one. There are, only three men
on duty in the daylight hours in front
Of the executive mansion, the rear
grounds being patrolled by two; but
the rear Is protected by iron fences.
all gates being closed and locked.
Secret service men do not do duty in
the grounds. but when the President
is in Washington four Of them are on
the alert around the executive ofiices.
Inside the White House and executive
Offices there Is a sufficient force to
large numbers of strangers go in and
out the building each day. 1t has al
ways been possible for a crank to gain
access to the public portions of the

are not accessible except by special
permit.
