on the table after falling to receive
the necessary two-thirds vote. Only
the vote of winfrce was needed.

any Of the nations now members of
the league.
There is not anybody" he con-
;inued. with whom Senator Hard

as he proposes. except our late ene-
mics. Germany. Austria and Turkey.
or Mexico. and he would not succeed
in interesting any one Of these ma
tions in his association. because each
one OF them is desirous of Joining

FAYETTEVILLE. y. c.. Oct. 15.-
Five men were killed and one scri-
ously injured when a boiler in the
cotton Gin OF the Dracy Gin Com
rany. near Rowland. Robson County.
exploded this morning. The dead are
Robert Bridges. part owner Of the
gin. two other white men and two
Indians. The injured man. who is a
negro. was brought to Cumberland
General Hospital here. He has a
fractured skull
The cause of the explosion has not
been determined. but 1t is thought
by some that water in the boiler was
exhausted, while others are OF the
opinion that 1t was due to explosives
placed in the boiler. Work had been
done on the pot valve OF the boiler
yesterday and early today. The man
did the work today and had gotten
only $50 yards away from the mill
when the boiler blew up. One side
of the building was torn away by
the blast and mule hitched n good
distance from the mill was killed.
