News. ANDERSON, Ind., Oct. 22.—Shortly before noon yesterday a 12-inch steam pipe buret in the mill of the American "Wire Nail company. Over 500 men were at work around the big pipe, and over 200 were employed in the department where the explosion occurred.

The office of the company was converted into a hospital lor a time, and many hundreds of people came in to learn who was hurt.
When the expansion joint separated the roof was blown out, trusses craoked and the machinery thrown about. Two hundred wire men. blinded and burned by steam, crawled to the doors and windows. A great quantity of loose lime and vitriol was blown into the, men's eyes, and their escape was remarkable. The wire mill was shut down by the accident.

A family was moving out of the house, which Mr. Arthur expected to occupy.

The Defense Closed Without Proving an Alibi.
SAN FRAVCISCO, Oct. 22.— The defense in the Durant trial practically closed yesterday. Another witness may be examined briefly, and then the prosecution will begin the inLoa.^.,*.. .u .jf testimony in rebuttal. Althomrh nm"Vi important evidence for tne prosecution is yet to be submitted, the case will probably go the jurj at tne wjsj of next week.
The impression now prevails that the delense has materially strengthened the prosecution's case by tailing to establish a single fact that Attoi prey in his opening statements said he would show. Although he nnrjnrpT^'l that an alibi would be proveu, no witness appeared to swear tnuc L/unuit was elsewhere than at Emanuel rsuptist church when Blanche Lamont was murdered. Failing to show that Durant was not at the church, the defense has attacked the creditability of the witnesses who testified that they him in that vicinity in company with Blanche Lamont.
Yesterday afternoon Dr. R. C. McDonald was called to give expert testimony on the hallucinations of elderly women. He admitted that in a time of great excitement over an extraordinary crime, elderly women ofteii became possessed with the delusion that they had knowledge of the existence of alleged facts. He denied, however, that elderly women were more likely to have such hallucinations than anybody else. The question was plainly for the purpose of throwing discredit on the testimony of Mrs. Leak and Mrs. Yogel, two of the strongest witnesses of the prosecution.
Charles T. Lenihan, who, it is asserted by the defense, was mistaken for Durant by Pawnbroker Oppenheini, proved a disappointing witness. He made several conflicting statements, among which the assertion that it was in the afternoon instead of the morning that he tried to pawn a ring at Qppeaheiiu's.
The defense sought to show by R. N. Lynch, Rev. George Gibson's private secretary, that he gave Miss Cunningham, a newspaper repeater, the first ©lew to the fact that Mm. Leak had seen Duraut and Miss Lament eater the ehurch on the afternoon of April 3.
The object ef the question was to impeach oue feature of Mrs. Leak's testimony, and to show that Rev. Gibsea, in hit* zeal to convict Durant, had been instrumental making public damaging evidence against him. Lynch said he did not tell Miss Cunningham of what Mrs. Leak had seen, as at that time he did not know that Mrs. Leak had any information on the case.
Attorney Dickinson was sworn and took the stand himself for the purpose of identifying a leather strap bearing Blanche Lamont's name, which he said was sent to him by mail last July by unknown parties. There was objection to the admittance of the strap as an exhibit. The court withheld the ruling on the question.
A long deposition from Charles E. Clark a traveling salesman who resides in this city, but who is now in Boston, was read. The defense expected to prove by Clark that he had seen Miss Lamont on the afternoon of April 3, accompanied by a man other than Durant. Clark said that he could not positively fix the date and only thought the girl he saw was Miss Lamont from the fact that she resembled a picture of Blanche Lamont which he saw in a newspaper a few days later.
An attempt was made to discredit the testimony of W. J. Phillips who said he saw Durant enter Oppenlieim's pawnshop April 12, but this also fell flat.
Finally Found Out.
LANCASTER, Pa., Oct. 22.—Deputy United States Marshal Place yesterday arrested William DeHamidan, alias Preiam, aged 19 years, of Columbia, charged with fraudulent use of the United States mails. W. W. Thomas, a wholesale grocer of Cincinnati, was the complainant. DeHamidan's scheme was to order groceries in the name of a fictitious person, and when the goods arrived, he, under his own name, notified Thomas that the consignee had left town, and offered to sell the goods on commission. It is alleged that he failed to turn in the proceeds of these sales.

Great Britain's Demand on the Venezuelans.
LINE DRAWN AT TWO
Interview With Mr. Bayard.
LONDON, Oct. 22.—The Chronicle this morning publishes an interview with Uait-ed States Ambassador Bayard, in which the latter is quoted as saying that he had only very general ideas of the latest phase of the Venezuelan trouble, except what he had gathered from the newspapers. His latest mission was an endeavor of the friendliest character to arrange to resume the Venezuelan frontier negotiations. Lord Balislwu-y had listened to his arguments in the be6t spirit.
The delay of Lord Salisbury's reply was doubtless due to the latter's holiday and the subsequent occupation of the foreign office. The many disputes of the united States with Venezuela had always been amicably arranged by a board of conciliation, and Mr. Bayard Pftibe did not see why the same method •henit not be adopted as between England and Venezuela. Lord Salisbury's demand upon Venezuela for reparation, he added, was quite outside his mission in the affair.
The Monroe Doctriue Defined.
NEW YORK, Oct. 22.—The Herald's London cable says: It is ascertained on high authority chat the memorandum in relation to the Venezuelan affairs presented by Ambassador Bayard to the British foreign office in August last embodies for the first time in diplomatic correspondence a definition of the socalled Monroe doctrine and an assertion that the United States regarded the acquisition of territory by European powers on the American continent as a menace to republican institutions which would not be encouraged by the Arnercan people.
It is understood that to this communication no reply beyond a formal acknowledgement has yet been given, but that a more detailed reply has been promised at an early date.
MINERS STRIKE.
It Was Not So Extensive as It Was Predicted.
ALTOONA, Pa., Oct. 22.—The mining situation in the mountain region, extending from this city to Johnstown, is not nearly so serious as was anticipated. It is learned that about 1,000 men are out, and at least 4,000 are at work as usual.
On the Cresson and Clearfield division the men are working at Spaugler, Barnesboro and Hastings, but at Frugality about 200 men are out.
In the Clearfield region the only mine entirely idle is the Lancashire at Phillipsburg, which has about 200 men. It is the general opinion here that by tomorrow the men will either all be out or they will all be at work.
Failed Among the Destitute.
DUBOIS, Pa., Oct. 22.—The threatened strike in this part of the coal region has been a complete failure. Less than one-third of the miners called out quit work, and those who struck are in consequence ready to return as speedily as possible. The indications are that every mine will be working before the end of the week.
Great destitution prevails. A carload of potatoes was received from Williamsport on Saturday and distributed among the miners yesterday.
OUTRAGES IN WEST AFRICA.
Ail English Trader Hanged and an American Horribly Tortured.
LONDON, Oct. 22.—A man named Thomas Bradley, who until recently was employed by the authorities of the Congo Free State, has just returned from West Africa, bearing a letter from the brother of Stokes, the .English trader, who was hanged by Captain Lothaire of the Belgian service, after a brief trial by courtmartial, at which the captain is alleged to have formed the whole court. Tho dead man's brother says that Bishop Tavlor, the American "missionary at S'anley Pool, told him that the captain was jealous of Stokes on account of the latter's inlluence with the natives.
Bradley said that the captain caused an American overseer to be bound to a tree and then he slashed the bound man with his sword, cutting the clothes from his back and wounding him terribly. Bradley claims that he was an eyewitness of this outrage and he adds that tho man died twtjdays later

Interview With Ambassador Uayard.
Monroe Doctrine Dc'Uued.
LONDON, Oct. 22.—In view of the many reports in circulation regarding the attitude oi Great Britain towards Venezuela, the following official announcement has been mado: "In consequence of Venezuela not offering an apology or reparation tor tne Urian incident, the Marquis :. Salisbury has taken steps to ml'oi licr as to what reparation Great Bvu.-.m inquires. But, as relations betweeu the two countries have been broken off for some years, the communication was not sent through the direct diplomatic cliuuuel. "As the document has not reached its destination, it is not considered desirable to give details of its contents. But it is couched in forcible terms and points out that Great Britain will not permit Venezuela to overstep the boundaries marked by the courses of the rivers Cuyuui and Amacura, but is willing that the question of the other disputed territory should be submitted to arbitration."
