An anvil firing . and the discharge of fire.works were tea-j lures of the jolilicution and us a conso I qucnce a largo quantity of explosives had | loan provided. A portion of these had been stored in tho school house. During the speech-making, and while ttio building was packed with men, women and children, two kegs of powder exploded. The results wore frightful. The schoolhouse was totally wrecked, and paest of Us occupants buried in the ruins. Those, who could extricate themselves at once sot : about to rescue tiie others. Shrloks aud j menus came from the mass of wrecked j timbers, and it was evident that tho ca-) lainity was a terrible one. The debris tool) I fire In several places, and it required harct work to prevent tho cremation of the persons who were imprisoned. The flames were subdued, however, with only one person suffering from the fire.

Says Ho is Not Unmindful of the Needs of Business Men, Rresiden-elcct Cleveland spoke at the annual dinner of the Chamber oi Commerce at Delmouico’s, New York,Tuesday night, lie said: Mr. President and Gentlemen—1 am exceedingly gratified by the kindness and warmth ot your greeting. It does not surprise me, however, for 1 have seen and felt on more than one occasion the cordial hospitality and heartiness of those who assemble at the annual dinner of our Chamber of Commerce. VVo all have noticed that many men, when they seek to appear (-specially wise and impressive, speak of “our business Interests” as something aw uland mysterious; and quite often when a proposition is uu .er discussion its merits are no longer appa ent to those whose hair is on end at the solemn suggestion that our "business Interests” are lying in wait witli numerous \ ials of wrath Incomplete readiness for those who arriveal.au unaccepted conclusion. I am fortunate in being able to state that my relation to the Chamber of .Commerce of the State of New fork, though merely of a complimentary kind, arising from uoiio ory lucrnb irship, has so familiarized rno with “business interests” that I no longer regard those words as meaning a blood thirsty beast, nor do 1 have constantly before my mind those children in the biblical story who were torn to pieces by bears for discussing too much at random the baldness of an ancient prophet. It is entirely natural that, rnv familiarity with business interests arising from the relation to which I have referred, should ho of a very pleasant sort and free from fear and trepidation, for ‘.ho only meetings I have over attended ot the Chambet of Commerce have been precisely such as tills, when the very best things to eat and drink have been exhaustively discussed. 1 am bound to say that on these occassions the dreadful beings representing business Interests have been very human indeed. I know you will not do mo tho great Injustice ofsupposlng that I In the least underrate the Importance of tho commercial and financial interests here represented. On the contrary, no one appreciates more fully than I that, while a proper adjustment, of all Interests should he maintained, yon represent those whicli are utterly indispensable to our National growth and prosperity. I don't believe that any other Interests should bo obliged to feed from the crumbs which fail from the table of business, nor do I believe that table should he robbed of tho good things which are honestly and fairly there, merely because some oilier tables arc not well provided. It comes to this. We are ail Interested as Americans In a common pursuit, Onr purpose is. or ought to he in our several spheres, to add to the general fund of National prosperity. From this food wo are entitled to draw perhaps not equally, but justly, each receiving a fair portion of individual prosperity. Let us avoid trampling on each other in our aex- 1 ietv to bn first in the distribution of shares, and let us not attempt to appropriate tho share of others As I close 1 cannot refrain from ox- ! pressing tnv thanks for the courtesies often cxtendel to mo by tho organization at whoso hospitaulo board f have sat fids evening. I bog to assure you that though I may not soon meet you again on an occasion like this, I shall renremher.witU peculiar pleasure,the friends made among your membership, and shall never allow myself to bn heedless of tho a "'airs you so worthily hold in your keeping- j Other speakers were Secretary of the . Treasury Charles Foster. Senator Breck- ’ inridge, Chauucey M. Depow and Whitelaw Reid. j

FARMER RUSK % Submits His Report of the Agricultural Department Tho United States i« Novr the Craclltor of th® World for More than S200,000,000 —4 Good Showing, The report of tho Secretary of Agriculture has been submitted to the President. The report begins with a comparison of tho export trade of tho past fiscal year with that of former years and emphasizes tho fact that of more than $t,00(l,0),).OCO, representing the exports of our domestic products of the past year, nearly 80 per i cent, consisted of agricultural products, j thus not only making tho United States [ the creditor of tho world for a sum exceedI ing 1300,000,000 —tho excess of our exports ! over Imports—but relieving our homo I markets from a surplus product which j would otherwise have reduced prices to a point below the cost of production. Ho llnds encouragement to the farmer in tho fact of the reduction in the proportion of Imports. Live cattle exported in 1889 amounted to 205,000 head, whereas in 1892 we expoit’d 30t,000 at an increase in value averaging $8 per bead. Secretary Rusk explains why onr wheat did not realize tho big hopes raised by tho short crops in the various European countries in 18j1, by saying that those anti**

patlons of advanced prices failed to take into account the changed conditions now | surrounding the production and market- i ing of tho world’s wheat, crop. “Taking the world throughout, tho fat crops more than equaled tho lean crops of 1391, so that there was actually more wheat grown in that year than In 1890.” Even tho exports from Russia, wher® famine existed In so largo a section, and where exports were for a time prohibited, amounted to 105,(XX),009 bushels. nearly as much as tho average of tho past four years, and more than the average of the past ten years. Ho says “the conditions which have at last overwhelmed cotton growers now confront wheat growers,” Hence the American farmer must reduce the wheat acreage and so bring producolion down to tho normal demand. Secretary Rusk has some hopes of getting the Germans to use our Indian corn. Many difficulties have attended the introduction of a now food heretofore generally regarded in Europe as not suitable for In,man consumption. A m xcd corn and rye bread was found necessary to secure keeping qualities iu a country where all broad Is made and sold by tho bakeries, and corn grinding machinery purchased iu America is now in use in several mills in that country. One result Is tho maintenance of the price of corn in tho face of largely Increase exports, conditions which have heretofore always accompanied a great depreciation in price. The corn exports of 1890, tho only year In which they have equaled those of the present year, brought tho price down to a fraction nnder 43 cents a bushel at the portof shipment, against a fraction over 55 cents per bushel this year, a difference aggregating on tho exports of the past fiscal year no t less chan ion million dollars. Secretary Rusk throws cold water on the rain makers. Tho experiments aro being made as Congress directed, but the facts in liis possession do not justify tho anticipations formed by tho believers in Ibis method of artificial rain making. Secretary Rusk thinks tho reduction o r tho cotton area a step in tho right direction. With reference to our cereals ho attributes the excessive anticipations formed regarding the price for wheat throughout the crop year of 1891 to failure to appreciate tho changed conditions now surrounding tho production and marketing of tho world’s wheat crop. Tho experience of tho department In tho domestic sugar industry the past year confirms his former reports and shows that domogllcsngar can bo produced with profit to the grower of the crop and to tho manufacturer. Secretary Rnsh suggests important changes in regard to tho future organization of the department, by which all divisions of tho work shall be grouped with reference to their character into bureaus. i- - tSS , A, .
