government for munitions and supplies
bought In this country.
1t was only this morning that the an
nouncement had been made prominent

ers. Tor the notation in this country of
$100. 100000 of the new British war

self did not disclose, but which was
generally supposed to be the arranging
Of credits in this country for the pow
ers at war with Germany.
Debated / Parliament
The arrangement under which the
Morgan Arm was appointed commercial
agent Of the British government in the
United States during the war was
widely criticised. On the one hand, 1t
was not met with satisfaction among
a large number of American contrac-
tors for supplies. They complained that
in some cases they were rivals of the
Morgan firm in special lines of COM
merce. In England. the criticism of the
arrangement was carried into parlia-
ment and only yesterday 1t was debated
there.
Lord Grinthorpe, a banker member
of the house of lords, urged that Can
ada should have the preference in the
order for shells. and added that lone
reason why more orders are not going
to Canada is that the big shadow OF
an interloper stands between her and
the government"
Earl Curzon, lord of the privy seal
replying to this speech. informed the
house that the Morgan company was
acting as British agent on a commits
sion Of only 1 per cent. within the

ment has assured us the highest eff

No Progress Made by Experts
in Inquiry Regarding Cause
of the Startling Explosion

Results of Investigations made today
by Superintendent Elliott Woods ana
Prof. Munroe in the effort to learn the
cause or source of the explosion were
wholly negative. Similar inVestisa-
tons made by electrical experts OF the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone
Company were likewise negative, and
At a late hour today the cause OF the
explosion which wrecked the Senate
reception room was as much mystery
as it was Immediately after the eA-
plosion occurred last night
Experts of the telephone company
were positive today in their assertions
that the explosion could not have been
caused by short circuit or other ac-
cident OF an electrical nature IN the
wires running to and from the switch
west window of the room, where the
explosive force apparently was great

These experts declared that telephone
wires never carry more than twenty
four volts. Furthermore. they said. had

Find No Evidence of Bomb.

Absolutely no trace of the supposed
bomb or other form of explosive was
discovered after a thorough search of
the debris in the room, SO that Prof
Munroe had nothing except the visible
effects of the explosion to serve as
basis for investigation. That gas
could not have been the cause of the
explosion Is certain, it was stated to-
day by Supt. Woods, for the reason
that no gas has entered the Capitol
building since November s, 1898, the
date of the explosion which wrecked
the crypt of the Supreme Court. I'm
mediately after that explosion the gas
was cut OF from the building on the
outside and none has been used since.
That the effects of the explosion last
night strongly resembled those which
have been observed after explosions of
Prof. Monroe, Supt. Woods and others
who endeavored today to solve the mys-
terry. The greatest force of the ex-
plosion, from all indications, was in
the northwest corner of the room, un-
der the telephone switchboard. A spot
