IKJ RED Ili WALL STREET 'rEXPLOSION
Powerful Bomb Does 82,000, 000Damage to Buildings and •
Offices — How Explosive Was Placed in Street
is Still a Mystery..
A :despatch, from New Yo>;k says:-
In broad' daylight, and hi : the most
prominent spot of America's great fin-
ancial centre, a red-handed blow was
struck at noon last Thursday at the
heart a the "country's banking inter-
ests. ,
TB missed its 'aim the house of
Kell:ni—lain that no member of that
great firm was seriously injured, but
claimed ae victims many hapless
passers-by, ,
Thirty-one persons are known to be
killed, and more than two hundred
were injured,.
The explosion of a time bomb two
minutes after -twelve o'clock on the
Wall Street side of the J. P. Morgan
& Co, office;at Wall and Broad streets,
.killed betwen twenty and thirty per-
sons, and sent over two hundrecl men,
women aid boys and girls to h0
s
i -
i3 -with 7I11le6 some serious, but
iu the:main superficial. Cuts from fl-
y
ing glass furnished the greater part
of the minor injuries:
A couple of million dollars' worth of
damage was done to the buildings in
the financial' districts The Assay and
Treasury +buildings," near the scene,
Were wrecked and shot through with
hurtling- iron fragments from the
giant bomb, Showers of broken plate
glass fell to the streets and to the
c}'- floors in the interior of buildings.
Fortunately, the horror of a great Are
Was not added to the otherfearsome
occurrences.
On Thursday night, twelve hours
later, investigating authorities were
almost certain the disaster was due to
an infernal machine left on an un-
covered one-horse truck in Wall street
directly- in front of the new United
States Assay Office, next door to the
Sub -Treasury, and directly across the
etlset frem'the 1', P. Morgan build-
ing,
Throughout ' the nation—horror-
struck at tidings of the catastrophe—
the same interpretation was placed
upon it, and public_ buildings and great
storehouses of wealth, as well as con-
spicuous men, were placed under vigi-
lant. guard. •
The explosion which turned Wall
street into a shambles at noon to -day
was the resrdt of a deliberate and
well-prepared plot, according 'to Fed-
eral and city officials, after an exten-
sive investigation at the scene of the
tragedy, They based their conclusions
on the following facts: '
First: Investigation shows that no
waggon carrying . explosives: from
authorized sources was in Lower Man-
hattan on Thursday.
Second: The effect of the explosion
was far greater than any that could
be produced by an ordinary explosive -
carrying
xplosi e -carr in waggon.
Third: Iron missiles made from
broken -up window weights unlike any
in the Wall street district caused all
the damages to the building and wee
respdnsible for the loss of life.
Fourth: The coincidence of time and
location of the explosion.
Fifth: The fact that three men were
observed' running east on Wall street
about two minutes before he explosion.
These men are reported to have fled
in a waiting automobile.
Sixth: The discovery of a peculiarly
wired box containing 'electric batter-
ies, that was placed by unknown per-
sons in the automobile of Henry Babb,
vivo blocks from the scene of the ex-
plosion. -
Sevenh: Only four sites- in Lower
Manhattan are using explosives. in
construction work and not one of them
received or expected explosives en
Thursday. •
To Manufacture Silk
in British Columbia
•
A despatch from Vancouver-rays:—
An organization has been undertaken
here having in view the erection of a
• plant for the manufacture of artificial
silk. This enterprise has its basis in
the fact that practically 75 per cent.
of the raw material used in the manu-
facture of artificial silk by the Japan-
ese is a British Columbia product, viz.,
sulphite pulp.
Tlie organizers claim that instead
of shipping this pulp to Japan and
having it returned as a costly material,
they could manufacture the artificial
silk' here much cheaper, They recog-
nize that the rhea and rahmi. grasses
`•- of Uganda, Africa, make a better pro-
duct, but the fibres of the B.C. forest
timbers are already making a satis-
factory silk.

German Immigrants •
Alloyed, to Enter U.S.
A ‘despatch from Washington, D.C.,
says'. -1! or the first time since Am-
erica entered the war, 'German itnini-
grants are being allowed to enter the
United States, it was learned at the
Department of Labor. So, far, how-
ever, this immigration is restricted to
Germans- who had applied for Amer -
lean citizenship before the war and
were detained in Germany at the out-
break of hostilities, and to those Who
can show"compelling necessity."
British Wool Stocks.
A statement by the director of raw
wool stocks of Great Britain shows a
total of 2,905,554 bales of g•'overnment-
owned wool on hand. The quantity of
combing merino wool which is still
available for sale is 796,579 bales.
This stands out in strong contrast to
what has been generally supposed as
being the stock of combing -wool, cloth-
ing and carbonizing stooks being sen-
-sibly less than Half the quantity of
combing wools still _ unsold. The
statement show's some very significant
totals, and the merino combing -wool
available far .outweighs both the cloth-
ing and carbonizing stocks.
Some very significant' figures come
under New.Zealand wool, The stocks
in the United Kingdom ports are 217,-
688 and the stocks in New Zealand
amount to 341,987.bales, all these be-
ing New Zealand wools. These totals
represent 559,626 bales, virtually a
whole New Zealand year's clip. These
are all crossbreds, there being no mer-
ino New Zealand wool returned at all
In the stooks held by the government.
The stocks of unshipped Australian
crossbred wool are very, considerab]e,
amounting to 657,852 bales, and if the
New Zealand unshipped stocks are al-
so added, we have 999,289 bales of
Colonial crossbred wool which re-
mained unshipped in Australia and
New Zealand last June 80.
British Mine Strike
Nearing Settlement
A despatch from London says:—
The conference of the Coal Miners'
Executive with Sir Robert Horne,
president of the Board of Trade, ad-
journed late on Thursday afternoon
without an agreement having been
reached in settlement of the contro-
versy between the miners and the
Governmen, Sir Robert Horne de-
clared, however, that new proposals
made by the miners constituted an ad-
vance toward a peaceful solution of
the trouble,
Sir Robert Horne refused to re-
commend that the miners should have
two shillings advance under the pres-
ent circumstances, but added that if
an increased output were assured an
advance in wagescouldbe given.

The King made history by taking
part in the regatta of the Royal
Northern Yacht Club. This was the
first occasion on which a reigning
monarch has raced his own yacht in
a regatta on the Clyde, His Majesty
is an enthusiastic yachtsman, and as
Prince of Wales was a much more fre-
quent visitor to racing in different
parts of the country than his heavier
duties of State now permit.

Holyrood is perhaps the most un-
comfortable of all the royal residences.
Hence it is that since the time of
Janes L few of our nionarchs`havc
cared to- live in it. Queen Victoria
cordially disliked the place, and de-
clared, after her first visit, that she
would have preferred to have stayed
at the Calton Jail, just opposite, which
is a modern imitation of a mediaeval
castle.

The Duke of York, I am told, is
left-handed, but this does not in any
way interfere with efficiency. He can

description of our newest Duke.

When yoti next read the headline,
"Premier sees the King," you _might
like to recall this little story of the
first time King George ever net a
Premier. It was in his nursery days—
it is just as well to begin young—and
Queen Victoria, Mr. Gladstone, and a
party of distinguished guests were sit-
ting round a table in the drawing -
room, discussing weighty matters, All
went smoothly till Mr. Gladstone sud-
denly felt something brush against his
foot.
"Heavens above us, madam," ex-
elaimed Gladstone, "there is some-
thing under the table overhearing our
conversation."
He bent down and dragged out the
miscreant, who proved to be a small
boy, trying to hide his face in -his'
hands. -
• The Queen burst out laughing, and
said, "It+s of no consequence, Mr. Glad-
stone -she is only my graceless grand-
son, George!" -
The future King .had been up to
-some mischief in the drawing-roofn
When . he had'heard the party ap-
proach,ng, and in order to escape
punishment had hidden under the
table. Hellas listened to many Prime
Mb -littera sinde;,but never under sim-

At the Canadian National Exhibition
were shown sample blocks of one of

I world,,. They are four inches deep and
a foot square and come from a lake of
Epsom salts at Basque, B,C., a few
miles from Ashcroft, on the Thompson
river,
This medicinal lake, like Trinidad's
marvellous one of asphalt, is solid.
. You can walk on it. It covers seven
act'es, Until three miners stumbled

When the snow melts from the
mountain sides its surface is covered
six. inches deep with water, ,

eyaporates the water and all that is
necessary for shipment is to score and
lift off .in thick cakes the crust that

has medicinal value. It is only disin-

"Look ye, man, why haven't you
cleaned and polished my boots?" ask-
ed Dean Swift of his eccentric servant
John, at a tavern where they had just
passed the night.
"What's the use of polishing such
things?'' asked John, doggedly, as he
held up the boots, discolored and

the Dean ready to start, "I haven't
had my breakfast yet."
"Oh, replied Swift, "I can't see the
use of your breakfasting; You would
soon be hungry again."

seem to be an uncommonly sober pair;
may I ask wile you are and where you
are going?"
"We are as near saints' as we earn
be," replied John, with melancholia
solemnity, "and we are going to heav-
