innotediately after the explosion shook
violently and then oollspeed with a orath,
which added still further to the feeling of
horror which had spread throughout Rome.
All the thoroughfares were etrewn with

the plaster fell from the 'ceilings
and general desolation prevailed. In
many inetances people were. thrown
from their beds by the ehook. The general
opinion prevailed that Rome bad been
visited.by an earthquake and that a second
shook might reduce the pity to ruins.
Finally, when something like order had
been restored the real cause of the explo-
sion became Known, it was dieoovered that

• VISITING THE SCENE
As this despoil& is sent, King Humbert
and big military staff, accompanied by
Premier Rudini and by all the membere
, of the Italian Cabinet, have left the city
for the mane of the disaster. Around the
ruins of the powder magazine a cordon of
troops bas been drawn to keep back the
orowde of people, who,' now that the cause
of the explosion is known, have Hooked
to Pozzanno Pantile°, eager to see the
• powder-bleokened ruins. The troops, how-
ever, have instruotione not to snow any
civilians to pass through until the official
investigation now being made into the
oause of the exploeion has been completed.
All the houses within a radius of it kilo-
• meter have been damaged. Three soldiers
were dangerously wounded and .fully 20
• civilians have been taken to the different
• hospitals, Buffering from wounds or bruieee
caused by the exploeion. King Humbert,
who wae heartily cheered, whenever his
presence became known to the populates
and soldiery, need hie own carriage to
convey the wounded people to the hospitals.
The races, inolading the Italian Derby,
whioh were to have been run thio afternoon,
have been postponed on account of the

£200,000. Mr. Goeoheia eetimated the
revenue for the coming year would amount
to £90,400,000 and the expenditures to
288,440,000. The expenditures on account
of the poet -office exceeded the estimates by
£200000, of whioh sura the most wee due
