GUM FACTORY BLOWN TO BITS. Two nodies Reeover.n1 From the Rums— A. Dozen Injured — Many Buildings anon, Damaged. A despatch from Philadelphia says:— By an explosion of benzine ha Fleer's Chemioal Works at 24th and Callowhill streets, on Tuesday, two men were killed, two others are unaccounted for and one woman was fatally injured. A score of persons were more or less ser- iously injured. There were two explosions, the first occurring at 8.55 and the second a few minutes later. The factory is a total wreck, and buildings for a distance of half a squere on both sides of Callow - hilt street were paltialle demolished, In some instances windows in struc- tures two squares away were shat- telSoedgfar as could be learned,- there were six raen in the chemical wor when the catastrophe occurred. One of these was blown high in the air and his body struck the ground. at a dis- tance of 25 yards from the mill. The other was burned almost to a crisp. Adjoining Fleer's establishment was a grocery store owned by Arthur Don - ks °hue Two boarders were said to have been asleep in the upper part of the house and they had not been ac- counted for, Mrs. Donohue, the. groc- er's mother was so badly injured that her death was momentarily expect- ed. On the opposite side of the street was the dwelling of Mrs. Giverson. The burning benzine ignited the clothing of Mrs. Giverson and that of her child. With the infant in her arme she ran screaming into the street enveloped in flames. Firemen and hospital surgeons, who had responded promptly to the alarm, hastened to her assistance and she was conveyed to a hospital in an aanbula.nee. ' it was impossible at this time to es- timate the loss. Fully a hundred houses have been more or less damag- ed, those in close proximity to the chemical works being so badly wrecked as to probably necessitate their con- demnation. al 'IWO LOVERS DIE TOGETHER. a ' The impression has become general that the Disarmament Congress will prove a virtual fizzle.

A despatch from Edmonton, N.W.T., says:— A double tragedy occurred near here on Saturday, Win: Rowland, a young man, and his sweetheart, Lil- lie Brunnette, dying from the effects of strychnine poisoning During the evening Rowland came to the door of 1Vlacclonald's cabin in the east end and said he had taken poison, at the same time falling to the floor. When he revived he told the people of the house that they would find the body of Miss Brunnette in a field where they had taken their lives, because of opposi- tion to their marriage. Rowland ex- pired shortly afterward. The police were notified, and the girns body was found in a field near by, Rowland's (man and hat were dis- covered hanging on a tree near the body, and an empty strychnine bottle found near the tree. The girl was quite dead. Her parents claim that she did not take her own life. She was infatuated with Rowland, and had attended the theatre with him on the previous evening. She was a very beautiful girl, and was residing with her sister here.

AFTER A MERCHANT MARINE. The Manual Empire Prephriog to Enter he carrying Trade. Japan is making a bold push for at least a share of tie carryiug „trade of the Pactific. Theugb be now has but about 500,000 tons of modern eteani ton- nage, the nignificant feet is that this is nearly all new and up to date. The vessel e constituting the new ;steamer lines under the Japanese flag were mainly built in British or German yards, but their owners are far too shrewa to depend entirely upon for- eigners.' Last year a japauese saip- building campa,ny at Nagasaki launch- ed a 6,000 -ton steamer. The materials ler this vessel were, it is true, import- ed, but the lebor was entirely per- formed by Japanese and from put- ting together a steamer to planning and building one will be an easy step for these quick-witted and industrious people. Nor is it likely that japan will continue many years longer to depend as she does now on foreign yards for her warships, Heretofore all the Jap- anese warships have been built abeead. Japan has been in a great hurry to build up a powerful navy, one super- ior in 'vessels and. armament to that with vehicle she defeated China. Trte fear of being caught napping by Rus- sia, has stinaulated japan to place her orders at once without waiting to build up at home plants capable of con.stract- ing battleships and. heavy cruisers. Now that she has get a good "first line" in England, Germany and the United States, she may not unnaturally try her hanrl at aonstructing at least her auxiliaries and even more powerful vessels, japan is growing rapidly both as a naval and mercantile power, and in a few years it will be dangerous rfor other powers to try to rob her of her conquests as she was robbed after the Chinese war. WILL NOT BE LIBERATED. The French Superior Connell of 'War Has tio Decided In the Dreyfus Case. A despatch from London says :—Mr. David Christie Murray publishes on Tuesday morning the statement that he has learned from trustworthy sourc- es in Paris that the Superior Council of War, including Gen. de Nergrier, Gen. Zurlinden, Gen. Giovanninelli, Gen. Duchesne, and Gen. Jamont, its vice-president, none of whom, except, perhaps, Gen. Zurlinden, has hereto- fore been implicated in the Dreyfus af- fair, has decided that under no cir- cumstances, whatever, shall Dreyfus be liberated. He understands also from the same sources that negotiations are now proceeding between the intelli- gence bureau and the judges of the Court of Cessation to secure a rejec- tion of the request for revision, and that the judges favouring revision are being subjected to terrible intimida- tion. More than this, he learns that every- thing has been arranged for a sham trial of Col. Picquart, who is to be de- graded and sentenced to imprisonment for ten years. BUTCHERIES IN FORMOSA. Japanese Soldiers Accused of Killing, 1ore Peaceful Citizens ges of he Pague. A despatch from Seattle, Wash., says: —Daily reports received from the Governor-General of Formosa to the home office in Tokio, Japan, announce from; 60 to 100 new cases of plague, of which about 40 per cent. resented fatally. The scourge was most felt in the vicinity of Talpeh and Tain and there seems little chance of checking its ravages at present. The people of Formosa are so suspic- ious of their Japanese conquerors that they will not help in the sanitary mea- sures that have been taken to check the plague. From many of the cities plague victims run outside the city walls and into the mountains rather than give themselves up to the Japanese physici- ans. Details of the terrible butcheries committed by the Japanese army on their recent raid through southern Formosa, are beginning to reach Japan. It is said more peaceful citizens were killed than bandits and as many as 300 towns were sacked. HAVE SECURED MORE SPACE. Canada's Allotment at the Paris Exhibi- • tion lias Been Enlarged. A despatch from Ottawa says :—The Canadian Advisory Board of the Paris Exhibition.. was in session on Friday afternoon and evening. Plans of the British buildings have been received, and show that the original sketch has been largely departed from. The col- onial building will be occupied ex- clusively by Canada and Cape Colony, and will cost about 385,000, of which Canada's share will be e60,000. Three thousand additional feet of space have been secured, wbich will enable the Government to make a better display of agtionitural machinery. The Mas- sey -Harris Company, of Toronto, much to the chagrin of the other Canadian firms, eorralled all the original space, it appeans through their London agency by direct application to the British commissioner, and the additional quan- tity apportioned will give other Can- adian impleimant firms a chance.

A Been sight Destroyed by the Desneval or Kis One Sound Eye, A despatch frona Montreal sans :—A lamentable mistake in surgery occurr- ed on Thursday. Seven years ago Thom- as Stewart, the ten -year-old stepson of Mr, George P. Walker of tile firm of J. R. Walker & Comparty, commission merchants, met witli a serious and pabeful acoident at Beaconsfield, where the family was spending the summer. A penknife was run into his left eye and the sight was destroyed, Dr. Al- exander Proudfoote who was spending the summer in the neighbourhood, was summoned and treated the case. It was deeided that there was no posst- bility of the sight being restored, and the eye began to wither up. T.he boy grew up, and is now a youth of sev- enteen, Lately the injured eye had become inflamed, and it was. feared that the other eye paled become af- fected. Dr. Proudfoot's professional experience was again sought, and he advised the removal of the teseless eye as the only sure means of preserving the other intact. This was agreed to, and the delicate task was entrusted to Dr Proudfoot, aisle° is assistant ocu- list and aurist to the General Hos- pital, and oculist and aurist to the Western Hospital. The operation took place at the family residence, 1273 Dor- chester street, Westmount, on Tues- day afternoon, and at its conclusion it, was found that a terrible mistake had been made. Th 'e healthy eye had been removed. On recovery from the ef- fects of the anaesthetic the patient found himself Lahed. Dr. Buller was at once sent for; and efforts have since been made to save the sight of the injured eye, but as yet with only peob- lematical success. At best the sight can only so far be preserved as to en- able the young man to distinguish light from darkness. But no effort is being spared to this end. CYCLONE'S VICTIMS. Forty Persons Killed tit a Missouri Town and 400 Buildings Levelled to the Ground. A despatch from Kirksville, Mo., says:—A gathering storm that had been threatening all afternoon broke upon Kirksville at 6.20 o'clock on Thursday night in all the fury of a cyclone. A path a quarter of a mile wide and as clean as the prairie was swept through the eastern portion of the town, and four hundred buildings, homes and stores were levelled to the ground, in scattered ruins. In the heavy rain that followed the people who escaped turned out to rescue the injured. For two hours not much was accomplished, as all was confusion, but by 8 o'clock 25 dead bodies had been taken from the ruins. It is confident- ly expected that the list of dead will reach between 50 and 60, if it does not exceed that. Almost a thousand peo- ple were more or less injured. Day- light will be necessary before an ade- quate estimate of the less of life and property can be had. Intense d_arkness prevailed after the cyclone, and the rescuers were at a dis- advantage for a.short time, until fire broke out in a dozen places in the ruins and shed light over the scene. No at- tempt was made to extinguish the fire, partly because the rescuers had no time, and partly because of the need of light. On both sides of the storm's path the debris was piled high, and burned. fiercely. In all probability a number of bodies have been incineat- ed. The storra first struck the.east- ern portion of the city near that part occupied by the boarding houses of the students of the American School, State Normal School and McWards Semin- ary. It was just supper time for the students, and it is thought very pro- bable the list of dead will be well filled with students, as a large number of these boarding houses were demolish- ed. WORK OF CHINESE MOBS. ehrtstians 111:111711.011 UR It Public Bonfire -- "Melt. chain -en Tortured. A despatch from Vancouver says Advices brought by the Empress of China state that the Europeaes in Hong Kong are delighted at Germany's promptitude in taking measures to in- flict punishment for the attack made upon German subjects at Ichoufu itt Souther a Shan -Tung, which affords an example which might with advant- age be followed in all similar oases. An Ichoufu correspondent says: "To the south-west, twenty miles from us, there have been a number of riots, bat 0000s has been punished few anything s yet. A Catholic priest, who is jttet in from that vicinity, says that his life has only been saved through the fleet- ness of his horse, and that for 'three Months he has had to keep a horse saddled day and night, so that he might be able to elee, 'Three Catholic Christians have been killed in reihien, about 10 miles to the west of us, Six of there. have been killed at Sheash an, of whom two were berried to death in a bigpublic ,aortfire, This is a different affair from the (see when a child was burped and two had their eyes put out by a fiend- ieh mob, "The perpetrators of the outrage to the east, who dismembered the bodies on two Catholics oncl burned them, and who also battled a living child, have reeeived no punishment of any kind, have aeon emboldeaed to attempt etill further entrages" The I3r1tish are called upon to take aetion.
