Victoria Disaster a Warning Kvcr since the Victoria disaster, one of the must terrible fatalities in naval history, American naval officers have been giving much attention to the subject of bulkhead doors. It is now conceded that the unfortunate British battleshq filled and capsized by reason of failure to secure j ft speedy closure of the doors which are . intended to prevent the water from a coin- ; partment that may be crushed in from j sinking the ship.

X 11C U191 result has bei n the preparation by Kn-gineer-in-Chicf Melville of a model of a seemingly perfect device to accomplish this end, and it is probable that this will be practically tested by application on a large scale to one of our new vessels. The devices can be worked by compressed air or by electricity and the officer of the deck or the man in the conning tower of a vessel, when he sees that his ship is in danger of being rammed by an opponent or of being in collision by accident, may, by simply pulling a lever, first give notice by the blowing of a whistle or the ringing of a bell for a specified number of seconds of his intention, so that the men below may escape to the deck, or at least get from under the heavy doors, and then close every door. Powder Works lilow Up. A terrific report and concussion, which was distinctly felt Tuesday all through San Francisco. Cal.. and in towns around the bay for a distance of forty miles, was ot first believed to be caused by an earthquake, but proved to be nil explosion in the hitro-glycerine and mixing houses of the California powder works at Pinole, across the bay. The crew of the glycerine house, four in number, and the foreman of the mixing house were all killed, as were nine Chinamen working in tho latter department. A remarkable feature of the explosion is that, although the storehouse containing 1 . M H jMuimls of powder is completely wrecked, its contents are intact. In alt HUMM pounds of explosives went up with a roar and a sheet of llame. Jose Marti Killed. A dispatch from Havana, Cuba, Tuesday, apparently authentic, says the insurgents suffered their worst defeat that day. and that Jose Marti, president of the revolutionary party, was slain. The plana of the insurgents were betrayed to .the Spanish genera!-, and a surprise and rout followed. Victims of CarelcsHTicss. By an explosion in mine No. 4 of the Monongah Coal and Coke Company at "Wheeling. W. Ya.. soon after noon Tuesday, four miners were killed by suffocation and quite a number of others were seriously aJTected by the smoke. The explosion was caused by a Polish miner dropping a charge of glycerine. BREVITIES. A convention of tobacco workers, representing Missouri. Virginia, Kentucky. New York and New Jersey, met in St. liouis. The purpose was to form a national body, which shall control the question of wages, membership, etc. At Ogden, Utah, the jury in the case of Bobert Murdoch against the Union Pacific Bailway has given Murdock a verdict, for $40,000 damages. The plaintiff lost loth legs while acting as brakeman for the company. An appeal will be taken. The direct loss in crops, the damage to machinery and stock and the decrease in the value of lands due to weeds in this country amounts to tens of millions of dollars a year, according to the estimate of Botanist F. V. Coville, of the Agricultural Department. Montreal cattle shippers say '.hat there has been a largo increase in the number of lumpy-jaw cattle which have been stopped on their way to England. Some of these catth; have been slaughtered and evidently sold for healthy meat. The matter is being thoroughly investigated. A gentleman very close to the President says that unless the income tax be declared constitutional the President will, in his next message to Congress, recommend the doubling of the beer tax. Should such recouiniendation be favorably acted upon, the treasury will receive nn additional revenue of about $.'50,000,000. In the judgment of the Supreme Court that portion of the revenue law of l.S'.)4 relating to the tax.on incomes is "inoperative, void and unconstitutional." In arriving at this conclusion the court took the broad view that, while some sections of the law might be constitutional if taken up separately, the law was so framed that It could not be considered equitably excepting as a whole. It may be taken as a settled fact that the Pacific cable will be, like its promoters, essentially British. Under its treaty with ilw United States, the Hawaiian 4 loveriiment is precluded from allowing any foreign power to acquire any portion of Hawaiian territory. The United States bavin? given an adverse answer to (treat Britain proposition to secure Xecker or Bird Island s a cable station, the Funning Island route will, therefore, be adopt 1. The Norwegian ship Fjeld. from Crimsby, England, with coal, is overdue at Sali l)iego, Ca!. It is f caret! she has been burned at sea. Gov. dough, of Minnesota, has signed the death warrant for Harry Hayward. convicted of inciting and planning the murder of Catherine Hing. The Governor sets the execution for Juue !M. The report that Lord Kosebery had resigned the British premiership proved to lie untrue. ' Tb? periodicals heretofore published by Mrs. Frank Leslie have teen leased to a indicate

EASTERN. Fire at Coney Ish. nd caused a loss of $200.000. The flames broke out in a building rttaehed to a large toboggan slide in Sea Beach walk opposite Felt man's Hotel. James Gibbons, a prominent capitalist of Cleveland, has undergone an operation for appendicitis at Portland, Me., and is reported to have an even chance for recovery. General Freight Agent "Wight, of the Baltimore road, was found guilty in the United States District Court at Pittsburg. Pa., of violating the interstate commerce law in granting freight rebates. At Providence, 11. I., a two and a half story wooden tenement house, owned by Joseph Lemoine, ami occupied by several families, collapsed, and three persons were killed and eleven injured. It is thought two of the latter are fatally hurt. The building had been raised and workmen were building another story beneath it.' Julius A. Palmer, the New York correspondent who went to the Hawaiian Islands three mouths ago, has arrived in San Francisco. He believes that there will 60on be a crisis there, and that the end can only be the restoration of the monarchical form of government. He says there never will be harmony until the monarchy is restored and Princess Kaiulani placed upon the throne. St. Albans, Vt.. was visited Sunday afternoon by the most destructive tire : the history of Vermont. The loss h estimated at $70UMK, am! the possibilities are that amount may be increased when the accurate figures are had. Pracüca'ly nix streets in the business portion of t.a town are laid waste, and, with the other sections burned over, seventy-live atcs of ground are covered by smoldering ruins. About ."n people are homeless. James . Murray, assistant stage manager of Dave Henderson's "Aladdin Jr." company, took a long drink of absinthe Thursday afternoon in his room at No. L'70 West Thirty-eighth street. New York, sat down at a table and cried like a child, wrote farewell notes, calmly drew a revolver from his hip pocket, thrust it inside his vest, shouted "Good-by," and in the presence of two of his most intimate friends deliberately tired a bullet into his heart. Murray was LSI years old and went to New York six weeks ago from Chicago, where a widowed mo: her lives. One of the letters written by Murray was to Iiis two friends, as follows: ""What I am about to do will cause yon to think. Your troubles have been my troubles; my troubles belong to me. We have had good times and all that, but this is my time." Another letter was addressed, "To whom it may concern." as follows: "This or these letters will convince any jury that no blame is attached to my friends." The dead man's friends knew he had been brooding over some secret trouble. They guessed he had had a love affair on hand, and that he had been jilted. But they never questioned him in that direction. WESTERN.

Burglars raided every store at Pulaski, Iowa, and carried away two wagon loads of plunder. Mrs. Bigiey, late hospital nurse in Dubuque, is soon to be married at Los Angeles, Cal., to Lord Arthur Hepburn, the possessor of large estates in England and New Zealand. Two prisoners escaped from the penitentiary at La ranne. Wyo.. through a tunnel which they dug. They placed dummies it: their cells and thus successfully blinded the guard. Twelve inches of snow is reported between Trinidad. Colo., and Baton. N. M. This is the first snow or rain in that territory for nearly six months, and it is hailed with the greatest delight by the stock growers aud others. William Smith, the last of the Battle Creek. Mich., train wreckers, was arrested at Holly, Mich. Detectives have followed Smith all over the world. He was the leader of the wreckers, and since last October men have been on his trail day and night. The coroner's jury at Cripple ('reek has returned a verdict that the killing of Jack Smith, leader of the Bull Hill miners during the strike last summer, by Marshal Kelly, at Altman. Colo., was justifiable homicide. Smith's companion. (Jeorge Popst, who was also shot by Kelly, is dying. The right of a man to sit in his buggy while the vehicle is standing in the street and witness a ball game was settled in the negative in an Omaha ioliee court. II. E. Cole was driving past the association grounds and hearing a great hurrah over a home run, stopped his turnout and peeped over the fence. He was arrested and the court fined him for obstructing the streets. lie appealed the case. For a radius of fifteen miles in the neighborhood of Buckley, Wash., the fir forest is afire and at Tacoina. thirty-six miles away, the atmosphere is heavy with smoke. Superintendent J. McCabe. of tho Pacific division of the Northern Pacific, says nothing short of a heavy rain will check the flames. A special train was held at Buckley to carry away the inhabitants in case the fire should dose in about that town. About 1XR) persons reside there. Win. Nangle was killed and two others seriously, perhaps fatally, injured by the falling of a ruined wall at Henry and Brown streets, Chicago, Friday afternoon. Nangle was a man who figured somewhat prominently during the Irish agrarian troubles fifteen years ago, and when he came to America his attempt to land caused no little excitement. In April, 1SSO, a decidedly unpopular landlord of County Longford, Ireland, was shot and killed. Nangle was arrested for the crime. He remained in jail in Dublin seven mouths and was finally tried and sentenced to twenty-one years penal servitude. He served twelve years of the sentence. His friends sought a pardon for him and succeeded in getting it. When he landed here the doors of the republic were closed to hint because he was an ex-convict. As the offense for which he was sentenced to prison was in a sense political, it was held that it was no bar to his admission. Iiis brother. Policeman Joseph Xiinglc. of Chicago, went to New York at the time to assist him in Iiis efforts to land. Nangle came on to Chicago when admitted ami has been living there since. All doubts concerning the fate of the Kate Kelly were cleared away Wednesday when the tug Jesse Spalding leached Chicago from Kenosha with wreckage of the vessel. The Spalding sighted the tug Charm off Kenosha. The Charm had picked up beams, yawlboat and timbers from the Kelly. Ob one piece of timber was painted the name of the boat. Tili find portions of the hull of the Kelbj fur-

nished conclusive evidence that the ressel had been wrecked. Captain Hatch and the crew of five men are undoubtedly lost. The boat had a history that surnassed that of most craft sailing the great lakes. She was built in Tonawanda, N. Y., in 1S'J7, by Martel. The first owner of the boat was a woman of somewhat wide repute who lived in Buffalo. She was eccentric and well off, but she did not belong to Buffalo's "four hundred." The Kate Kelly was known cuumg marine men as the "Jew peddler," Lut she hail not traded on Lake Michigan until the last few years. She was a schooner of the old class fast going out of service. She was of '24C, tons, rigged fore and aft. In ISSti she was completely overhauled and rebuilt, so that she has been kept in serviceable condition. She was sold by Edward Gable, of Oswego. three years ago to Captain Hatch. lie had sailed her in these regions for two seasons past and had managed to make monev out of her.

SOUTHERN. Mike King was hanged at Ilelenwood. Tenii.. for the murder of W. A. Beck. Henry Bier, a loading financier, was convicted of perjury at New Orleans in a municipal investigation. The old Marine Hospital building at New Orleans lias been sold at auction for $11. . It originally cost the Federal G o v ecu me n t S. 1 2. hmi. 1'ive men were inj a red, three of them probably fatally, by the giving way of the inside work of a cotton mill in process of erection at Atlanta. Ga. Fire broke out at Methuen. in Clous" cotton mill, and in spite of the combined efforts of the departments of both Methuen and Lawrence, from where aid had been sent, the building was burned to the grou'id. The loss will be heavy. In Lawrence County, Ala., while a crowd of mountaineers was sitting around a wildcat distillery, a storm came up ami the turn sought shelter under the protection of several trees. Scarcely had Frank Walker. Frank Hill and Bob Mooreland reached the cover of a large oak when lightning struck the tree and shattered it, killing the three men. A rich mica lead has been discovered in Clay County. Ala., in the foothills of Talladega Mountain. The vein can be followed two miles by outcroppiugs. A company of Chattanoogans are purchasing options on all the country in the vicinity. A vein being opened is four feet thick and tips at an angle of ." degrees. The finest commercial mica has already been taken out. the largest take weighing 1! 1 pounds and cutting into pieces 7xS inches. WASHINGTON. Secretary Carlisle has declined, for lack of time, to address the Cincinnati ( 'handier of 'ommetvo on the money question. Rear Admiral John Almy. United States Navy, retired, died at his home in Washington, Thursday morning, after a hng illness, aged N) years. A report from Washington is to the effect that tho income tax law is pronounced unconstitutional. Justice Jackson, it is said, upl.-cM the constitutionality of the the law as a whole, but exempted rents and bonds. This apparently secured the standing of the law; but one of the other justices changed front, giving a majority against it. A letter on the beef question from Secretary of A grice.lt! re Morion appears in the National Provisioner of New York, which replies to the question if he favored placing beef on the free list. The Secretary s:tys he does if it is manipulated by a combination of the packing houses, but that question is being investigated and is not determined, so he cannot say what his recommendation will be to the executive. But, he asks, if business is depressed, why do they suddenly and arbitrarily raise prices and lessen consumption? FOREIGN. London advices say: In compliance with the agreement under which the British men-of-war were withdrawn from Nicaragua on condition that the smart money, amounting to $7ö,0t N , demanded by Great Britain for the expulsion of Consular Agent Hatch, be paid in London within fifteen days, that amount of money was on Thursday covered into the treasury of Great Britain on behalf of Nicaragua by Seiior Chrisanto Medina, minister to London for Salvador, who has acted for Nicaragua in London throughout the episode thus closed. Nicaragua had until Monday to pay tin' indemnity, under the terms of the agreement. More than three thousand residences in Florence. Italy, alone are in ruins from earthquake, and buried under the debris are the mangled remains of victims. The survivors wander about the streets, benioat.ing the loss of ti.eir friends, yet afraid to search the r.iins for fear of more violent visitations of the earthquake. Florence does not mourn alone, for from the adjacent cities come stories of waste and loss of life. At San Matino. the principal church was tilled with worshipers when the shock came, and before any of the congregation could escape the st.itely edifice fell, crushing many to death. Very few escaped without injuries. The disaster is the worst experienced by that section in hundreds of year. John Carter, an ex-seaman of II. M. S. Royalist, arrived in San Francisco Friday on the steamer Australia from Honolulu, (.'arter came to Hawaii from Sydney, where the Royalist is now stationed. England, according to the seaman, look very drastic measures in the punishment of the natives of the Solomon group of islands, and the villages at the mouth of the rivetSoy were cannonaded. A landing party started out from Verne, an adjacent town, and the savages were driven miles into the interior. A number were slaughtered. For four hours Soy was under lire. The trouble and the subsequent bombardment were brought about by the murder of n Mr. Donald n y Inst April and the subsequent murder of eight Fnglish sailors, who went ashore at the Island Malayta to enjoy a good time. The dread yellow fever season is on in Cuba, and its ravages will severely deplete the ranks of the regular troops who are unaccustomed to the climate, and who are a dissolute, careless lot of men. Then the sugar factories will be closed and the thousands of idle Cubans will be turned adrift into the artn.v. The sentiment in favor of the rebellion is growing steadily, and the insurgent leaders will be stoutly .supported. The report has gainal credence in Havana that Gen. Salcodo is dead, having been seriously wounded a few days ago. Col. Tejarizo is also reported to have been mortally wounded at Ramon de las Jaguas. Lieut. Col. Arizon is also badly wounded, and in Havana it

is reported his wound was received in attempting to intercept den. Gomez's march to Ca maguey. James Purman, who has just returned to New York from Cuba, gives some interesting information concerning the progress of the rebellion against Spanish rule. According to his account. (Jen. Campos has a herculean task before hiia in bringing Cuba to a state of subjection. According to advices received in Washington, imiortant British documents have been found at Hawaii relating to the pending British-Venezuelan boundary question in which the United States has urged arbitration as a means of settlement. Assistant Surveyor General Curtis J. Lyons, of Hawaii, has examined them, and has made a map. accompanied by a statement, which, it is said, supports the Venezuelan contention, even on the evidence thus far presented by the British. Seiior Andrade, the Venezuelan minister, says it is the first time that the documents sent out by the British foreign office have been made available in the controversy. The records now brought to public attention by Mr. Lyons were furnished to Hawaii by the British foreign oliice at a time when Hawaii was a monarchy and largely under British control. On comparing this with the map furnished by the foreign office twenty years ago he found that the boundary line had been entirely changed. The first map gave the line as Venezuela claims it should be. The last map shifts the line far westward and includes as British territory about 1O.OH0 square niih s which the first map showed clearly to be Venezuelan territory. This intervening 10.OOO square miles is the subject of contention. IN GENERAL There are ."27 cases of typhoid fever at Stanford. Conn. Five miles of nets, said to belong to L R. IMson. of Cleveland, were seized by the Canadian Government cruiser mar Rondeau, Out. TJje total immigration into Canada during LVdl was I'T.lHl, against fl'1.447 for 1SU'. Immigrants from the United Slates numbered SÖO. The tug Mogul, of Victoria. B. C valued at .LT.. : K. was sunk off Cape Flattery while attempting to recover a heaving line worth 7." cents from a schooner. Prof. Jeorge F. Becker. Prof. William II. Dall and Geologist Purrington, of the United States geological survey, have gone to Alaska to investigate the undeveloped mineral. fields. R. (I. Dun & Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says: "The severe cold snap, with extensive frosts and in some States snow, has fortunately done little damage to the grain crops, though much to fruit, but has considerably retarded retail trade. The best news is the advance of 10 per cent in wages by tho Carnegie works, followed by the Jones Sc Laughliii establishment, and evidently implying a similar advance by many oilier concerns. The Illinois Steel Company is starting its furnaces without granting the demands of employes. Xo advance has been found practicable in the woolen mills. In other departments of labor troubles are not serious, ami the demand for manufactured products increases. With material ami steady enlargement in domestic trade there i still great want of employment in the interior for money, which, with the millions distributed by the syndicate on bond account, stimulates speculation. Accordingly wheat has risen ." cents, although reports of injury by frost do not appear to com ern any considerable proportion of the growing grain."'

WOMAN FALLS FROM A FOURSTORY WINDOW. Though Almost Dyin, k'osthcry Refuses to Ifctirc from Power Chicago Brokers 1" orccd to Suspend- Income) Tax Invulid Wheat Market Strong. She Jurrcd Ilcr Teeth. Mr. John Henry, who is big and s'lont and who lives on th.. fourth tlo:- of No. 2'j5 Adams sireet. Brooklyn, was enjoying a lest after her household labors Monday. und while looking out of a window iil asleep. A few moments later something dropped oil the roof of a news stand, underneath the window, startling the newsman out of his dreams and causing a knot of playing children to scatter in affright. That something was Mrs. Henry. She rolled off the news stand roof to the sidewalk. roe to her feet, calmly brushed off her elohe.- walked up the stop. and disappeared through the doorway. The startled vender of ncwpapcrs reported the remarkable oce.irrence to the police sergeant. An oflicer found Mrs. Henry sitting on the side of a bed calmly engaged in combing lier hair. "Where is the woman who fell from the window a few minutes ago':' inquired the policeman. "That's me." was the laconic rejoinder. "What of it ';" "Ain't you hurt in any way?" "O. I jarred my teeth a little, but I don't think any of them are loosened," said Mrs. Henry. "I ain't hurt any, but I'm afraid I may have a headache to-night." He Sticks to Power. London dispatch: The House of Commons was greatly agitated Monday night by renewed reports of The impending resignation of the prime minister. Irl Bosebery. The story went that despite the official report he has returned from hi sea trip worse in health than before, and that it is probable that his doctor may give imperative orders that he immediately abandon the attempt to continue the leadership. At the same time the information comes from another well-posted political source that Lord Bosehery's ailment is practically incurable. His insomnia was long antecedent to the influenza attack, its real cause heing chronic dyspepsia, which has resisted all medical treatment. In fact. Lord IJosebery is threatened with incipient loss of power in the digestiv organs. TTp to the present moment, nevertheless, he is resolved to continue at the head of affairs until a general election, though in the opinion of his medical advisers every week he passes as prime minister takes a year off his life. Wheat (loow Higher. Wheat is still booming. Monday morning in Chicago the start was made at the closing prices of Saturday, and by fitful, nervous starts, interrupted by slight relapses, the price jumped to 74s cents in little more than an hour of active trading. Corn, however, was not able to keep this fast company, although the advance of Saturday was re-established, and after a rise to 54 for .Inly delivery and 55' -j for September over the prices at closing, there was an advance to 55 for July and 5G for September. But in other lines the fever was felt. Pork, which jumped to $12.55 Saturday, kept up its pace and reached $13. It is no exaggeration to say that there has not been such a market as the present one for years. The most astute traders feel helpless in the face of it. Firm's Money Is Gone. Suspension of the linn of Crawford & Valentine, Ftnck brokers. Chicago, was made on the Stock Mxchange Monday afternoon. The liabilities are placed at $70,000 and the uomitiHl assets in the neighltorhood of $JU00. of which $40,000 is said to be worthless. The firm has cut an important figure in the stock market at times. Its trailing has been sometimes on such an extensive scale as to lead to a good deal of gossip .-toUt personal plunging by its members, but the firm has stood high in the estimation of Stock Exchange members. Kioting at Cleveland. At Cleveland, ().. 125 lumber shovers went to the Cleveland Saw Mill and Lumber Company's dock Monday morning, armed with clubs and stones, to prevent the lumber steamer tlettysburg from being unloaded by non-union men. Trank Wcntz. an employe of the mill, was mistaken for a non-union man and was viciously attacked and unmercifully clubbed. When the police arrived the mob had disappeared. Later the union men unloaded the boat at regular scale prices. Look to Uncle Sam. Advices received at the Cuban revolutionary headquarters in New York say that (lomez has instructed all insurgent hands of 100 men and upward to send a delegate to the general assembly, which will meet at Vara in June, to put into execution the declaration of independence and to form a definite provisional government. The Cuban clyefs have great hopes that the I'nilod States Covcrnment will recognize them as belligerents at the next session at Washington. NEWS NUGGETS. The President has signed an order directing that Admiral Meade he retired on his own application, and in doing so administered a severe rebuke to him. The Ann Arlor 1'niversity faculty has expelled Norman M. Cameron. 'JI5, law, of Denver, for sending out, as it is charged, incorrect reports of university events to a Detroit paper, of which he is correspondent. The paper will contest in the courts the power of tho university to expel its corrosiondent. Mrs. James Xelson. 20. is in the Crawfordsville. Ind., jail for murdering her child. She concealed it in her room. claiming to believe it had been kMnaped. The IhhI.v was accidentally discover!, and the mother confessed. She says th. child's crying awakened her, so she deliberately choked it to death. Her husband is in California. Near rant's Bass, Ore.. Charles A. Lester, a teamster, threw his wife into a pool of water and held her head under until she was drowned. Three of Ids smull children were standing near and witnessed the act. The .Norwegian bark (Vylon. Captain (Ilsen, has been wrecked near Dover, Bugland. Six of the crew were drowned. A number of warehouses ami factories near the leather market, Bermondsey, England, covering one and a half acres of ground, have been burned. The loss is estimated at $1,000,000.

AMERICAN MEDICS MEET. Business Transacted nt the Final S Rinn ir Washington. The final day of the great national conTention of physicians in Washington was, as is usually the case, civen vp largely to the transaction of routine business. The most important business dune was th election of ollicers for the ensuing year and the reading of the annual paper oa State medicine by Dr. IL D. Holton, of Vermont. Dr. Ilolton'a address dealt generally with feme of the problems tt State must deal with to protect its citirens from disease. Among the points emphasized was the importance of Stat boards of health. He insisted that they should be given ample power and latitude in carrying out what they considered for the best interests of the people. He endorsed heartily the action being taken by the association to poeure a national department of pnb'ic health, lie also i.d-
