MILLIONS FOR HARBORS.

DIB Figure* nefrire the nousc—The Hennoplti ('anal l'rojeet (liven a Small Allowance.

WASHINGTON, March 22.—The river and harbor bill, over which the house committee has been struggling for the last three mouths, was finally made public Monday afternoon. An exact total of the bill has not been struck, but Chairman Blanchard estimated it in round numbers at 820,000,000.

The most important feature of the bill to Illinois is the black cyo which the Hennepin canal project receives. It is so hard a blow that the big canal will be seriously crippled if not permanently destroyed. Capt. Marshall warned the secretary of war in a report some time ago that at the present rate of appropriations—5500,000 once, in two years —it would take twenty-eight years to complete this canal, before the termination of which much additional money would be required to maintain tho work previously done from going to destruction. He added that even at the rate of appropriation proposed, SI,700,000, it would take eight years to complete the wo-k. Notwithstanding this warning the committee has failed to appropriate the SI,700,000 asked for and has allowed only S."i00, 000. So that according to Capt. Mar shall the appropriation contemplates work at a rate which will take twenty eight years more for completion.

The deep-waterway project, which affects no one locality in particular but is regarded as of great importance to the commerce of the entire lakes, is favorably reported, although the amount in the bill is only 5400,000, instead of S^,000,000 asked for. But tho projectors are quite satisfied with this, for they say that as long as the federal government once approves the plan it will have to be carried out. The item, as it appears in the bill, is as follows, "For a ship channel 21 feet in depth and of a minimum width ol

200

feet in the shallows of the connecting waters of the great lakes be tween Chicago, Duluth and Buffalo, 5400,000." A proviso is that the sec re, tary of war may proceed to make con tracts for securing the deep waterways on a scale of costs not to exceed in the aggregate S2,840,000, exclusive of the 8400,000 now proposed to be ap propriated in the present bill.

YIELDS TO THE KAISER.

Caprivi Will Remain Chancellor The llerlln CrUis Adjusted bj a Coinpro mUe—William's llealtt- in a Dangcrou!

Condition. Bkrmn, March 22. The cabinet crisis has been practically settled by Gen. Caprivi consenting to remain chancellor of the German empire on condition that he be relieved of the duties of minister-president of the kingdom of Prussia, and by the acceptance of the resignation of Count Zedlitz and Trunt/.schler ai Prussian minister for ecclesiastical affairs and public instruction. This solution has been brought about by the intervention of ex-Empress Frederick who appealed to Caprivi to accede tc the kaiser's request to remain at hi* post.

This appeal is r.aid to have been based mainly on the condition of tin kaiser's health and the fact that lie was in no condition to face a strain that a change in the ohanccllor ship would involve. The kaiser said to have explained that hi abruptness at the cabinet meeting which led to the offers of resignation from Caprivi and Count Zedlitr. wa: owing to his state of health and nol prompted by any desire to humiliate Gen. Caprivi. So much is derived from semi-official sources regarding the interview.

But while consenting to remain as chancellor, Gen. Caprivi insisted upon the kaiser accepting his resignation ol the ollice of Prussian premier. He pointed out that he would lie laughing stock in the landtag, that his influence there was irredeemably damaged, and that he could not for a moment think of retracting his utterances on the subject of the education bill, utterances into which he had been led by his desire to serve the views'and carry out the policy of his sovereign. The kaiser was obliged, therefore, in order to keep Caprivi as chancellor to accept his resignation as Prussian premier.

The Ycsignation of Count Zedlitz has been accepted. This was unavoidable. The resignations of Caprivi and Zedlit.it lcave'Dr. Miquel as the controlling spirit of the cabinet, and current repo'it associates his name with the premiership, although other names are alsc mentioned. ^J'hc kaiser thinks Miquel indispensable as a financier, and should ho be appointed premier, he would probably remain in virtual, iJ not actual, direction of the financial policy of Prussia.

Not A Candidate.

WASHINGTON-, March 22.—"Senatoi Sherman is not a candidate for the presidency, nor will he permit the use of his name by any of his friends in that connection," said Hon. W. M. Hahn, chairman of the Ohio republican state committee, in reply to an inquiry as to the attitude of the Ohio senatoi on the presidential question. Senatoi Sherman himself said subsequently that ho was not and would not under any circumstances be a Ciftididate.

Men !,OH« Tlicir and Other* Are Fatal Injured—Four Killed tu a l.lko Near ••'. ,SI. I .ON M,

lll.OWX rp IN A Mil,!,.

CllAitl.KVoix, Mich., March 22—A terrible explosion took place at East .lordn 11, this county, at an early hour Monday morning. The big mill of the East Jordan Lumber Compnny was torn to atoms, six men were instantly killed and several fatally injured by the explosion of the boilers. The "mill' had been running but ten minutes when there was an awful shock and 1 the. roof and all but, one end of the mill was rent asunder. The inside of the big building is a complete wreck. The noise of the explosion was heard at this place, 14 miles distant, and several carloads of people and a physician started at once for the scene of the accident. •v\ Seven Are Icud.

The six men who were killed outright or died in a few minutes were: Arbutus (.'ook, Wiil Beach, Simon Carney, .1. C. Ilrown, Peter Sheldon and Manney Hunt. A. Christy, the head sawyer, who was stationed directly over the boiler, was horribly mangled am' |ias since died.

Tho Injured.

S. Pearson, who ran the engine and was only a few feel from Christy, es- I caped uninjured. The engineer who has charge of both mills was James

The Cause In I)nult.

It is impossible to say what caused the explosion. Pearson, the only man in the mill who came out unhurt, says it was probably due to low water or too high pressure. A boilermaker from this place did some repairs on tlie boiler last week and it is said that he told the proprietors that he was not satisfied with the job, but owing to the peculiar situation could not get at the work to fix it as he desired. Several men were working in the yard and the smokestack fell on the horse of one teamster, smashing the cart and killing the horse. The mill was valued at 810,000, partially insured, and will be rebuilt

•Terrible Result of Itoller Kxploviou In St I,oui* Suburb. Sr.-l.ons, March-^2.—As the result of the explosion of a boiler at. the works of the Laclede Fire-Brick Manufacturing Company, Manchester road near Sublette avenue, in Cheltenham, a St. Louis suburb, at 2:45 o'clock Monday afternoon four men are lying dead, two are fatally injured and two more seriously hurt.

The Victims,

The dead arc: Larry Kussey, aged 23, married, of J4,'12 Billon avenue, erushed to death Reynold Diedoke, aged 40, married, 1310 Graham avenue, thrown 100 feet, into the air Joseph Beeklcy. aged Id, single, 5730 Columbia avenue, thrown 100 feet in the air and crushed to death Joseph Dnbuchy. aged 45, married, Brandon avenue, thrown 100 feet into the air.

The wounded are: Frank Seeger. aged 90, of 1330 Pierce avenue, fatally •ealded Morgan Inman, aged 23, single, Sulphur avenue, piece of iron blown into the skull, also hurt about the fac.- and bo.ty, will die: James Suinmerfield, aged 50, married, 5117 Wilson avenue, badly cut about the face, head, neck and body, will recover John Pellel, aged 40, Morgan ford road, slightly bruised and injured internally.

Holler Kan Out of Water.

Several other men were shaken and cut, but not badly. The boiler exploding was one of a battery of six. which, it is supposed, ran out of water, was suddenly supplied with cold water and the explosion followed. The boiler house was completely wrecked, the five uninjured boilers being unsealed and piled in a heap. A fire started in the ruins, but was put out before the flames reached the bodies of the dead and wounded, and they were got out after much effort, mangled only bv the explosion.

Hurled High In the Air.

Beckloy, Dubuchy and Diedoke were at work on the boiler-house putting up a whistle at the time of the explosion. Beekley and Dubuchy were blowm high in the air, while Diedokc's body was found on the third floor of the clay-mixing building, having fallen from so great a height as to break a hole in the roof, passing through to the floor below, livery bone in his body was broken and the head and face crushed beyond recognition. •Dubuchy. who was assistant engineer, was blown high in the air. lie fell on the roof of the generating house, a quivering, trembling mass. Beekley landed on the roof of tlie main building, also horribly crushed. All three of tlie.se men were undoubtedly blown at least 100 feet in the air.

ISussey was found in tho ruins of tho boiler house, crushed between the unsealed boilers, lie lived a few minutes after he w«s fcund, but never spoke. All of the dead were so horribly scalded that the Uesh .peeled, olt. wherever touched. The wounded men were/ at work in the immediate vicinity of the exploded boiler and were wounded by flying debris, by the steam and by the forco of the oxplosion itself, which hurled them 100 feet away, one, Inman, being blown across the river Des Peres. The pecuuiary loss to the company is from 520,000 to $25,000.

Salisbury Will Not Rone-vr Modus Vivendi.

Carter. He had gone to breakfast, I leaving the fireman. John Kingle, in charge. Riugle was in the engine room at. the moment of the explosion and is dangerously injured, too badly to be interviewed as to the cause of the explosion. The other badly injured men arc James Smith, Sandy Rainliart and Charles Hrown, all of whom are in a critical condition.

The Situation at WiiNhiit|[tiu. The white house was the center for state and navy department oflioials Monday discussing the latest phases in the Bullring Sea question. Tho brief word which came from Lord Salisbury Sunday was In truth not a reply to the president's communication of March S, but a notification that a reply would be forthcoming in due course of time. It went far enough, however, to let the officials here feel that Salisbury would not renew the modus, although he not object to any action which the United States might take on its own responsibility. The president hopes that the full answer of Salisbury will be received in time to lay it before the cabinet meeting today. In any event the meeting is likely to have to pass upon the direct question of policy which is to be pursued in Behring sea and there is little doubt as to what this policy will bo. The president and his advisors have since Friday been firm in the position that Behring sea should be policed at once without, reference to

Salisbury's desires, and the expressions of assent or dissent which his note of Sunday or his more ample answer of the future might give would in no wise affect this determined position.
