The explosion shook houses at con-
siderable distance. The superstructures
of five stills were wrecked and twisted.
It is said that the disaster was due
to the fact that a connection In the pipe
leading from the still to large con-
denser became loose or broken. A
statement to that effect was made at
uiRht by an official Of the company.
When the city firemen arrived and
saw that the flames were threatening to
spread to other stills and tanks a sec

the firemen battled with the flames and
confined them to one battery. There are
100 stills in the plant.
Calls for ambulances and police pa

and ambulances from half dozen hos

of hose to within fifty feet of the stills
were warned that there was: danger Of

Fifteen ear-Oold Prisoner
Twice Placed on Throne
Plan His Marriage

TIEN-TSIN, May 10.-RumOrs of an
other attempt to restore the Manchu
monarchy by placing the captive boy
emperor, Hsuan Tung on the throne are
circulating in the inner circles of this
center of Oriental statecraft. Hints
come from unknown sources that such
a move is to be made within the next
two months.
Speculation on this possibility provides
one of the most fascinating subjects OF
conversation among the Chinese as well
as among the foreigners. Here is the
stage and the thrOnelCS; boy emperor a
star character for the development of a
plot that may yet focus the worlds at
tention.
Anything is possible in Chinese politics
for upon Picking centers not only the
Earring ambitions of Chinese militarist:
Of all the diplomacy of the Orient.
Like Arabian Nights Tale.
The story of Hsuan Tung is like tale
of the Arabian Nights. Though he Is
still boy of 10 years he has twice been
proclaimed emperor and twice has alb
dicated. When he was less than two
years old he was made emperor by edlct
of the dying empress dOwager in 13OS.
With his father, Prince Ching as regent,
/
GOO, 900 people for a little more than
three years. Then came the republic
with a president, Yuan Shih-kai, and
the boy still an emperor, retired to cap
tivity within the walls of the Forbidden
City.
There he remained for five years un-
til in 1917, when he was yet only IL
years old, he was fOrcibly restored TO
his throne by coup d'etat of General
Chang Hsun who, it has been charged,
was the agent of a German plot to pre-
vent the Chinese republic from taking a
hostile attitude toward Germany in the
war Another purpose of the conspiracy
| is said to have been to stop the sending
| of Chinese coolies to Europe TO relieve
| the French workers so that they could
| be put on the fighting line.
This time the boy emperor's reign was
| brief 1t lasted less than a week and
again he went back to the palace of his
forebears a prisoner, and there he has
/ remained surrounded by 5000 or 1000
! of the Manchu adherents, princes, enuchs
and whispering old women who long and
probably plot for the time when the lit
tie "Son of Heaven" shall again ascend
the dragon throne.
