Telegram to Tin : Bnn , ] The scene of last
night's explosion wns visited today by vast
crowds and the ruins showed what terrific
force the explosion must have had. The out
side wall of the round house was completely
blown out und six stalls were utterly de
stroyed.
The coroner's Inquest was held this mornIng -
Ing , but after a little unimportant testimony
had been hoard adjournment was had until
tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. The Jury

The bed } of Charles Hasomoyor ,
the llrouian on the lll-futod en
gine , will bo shipped to Louisville ,
this morning , Dr. Hasotneycr , the brother of
the deceased , taking charge of the remains.
Tlio deceased was nn old employe and had
been firing since A nrll 15 of last year. Ho
was a member of thu Burlington voluntary
relief fund unit ot the Loulsvillo lodge of the
nclent Order of United Workmen.
The body of John Hnrdruba , the wiper , has
been lurncd over to his relatives , nnd his re
mains will tie burled tomorrow. Ho wns also
nn old omplojo nnd had been wiping for the
pasleicht months.
Frank Mauer , the man badly Injured , was
resting easily this morning , nnd the physi
cian behoves thnt unless ho takes a turn for
the worse ho will recover.
The exact cause of the catastrophe can only
bo n matter of conjecture. As ID most cases
of boiler explosions , tno only man who could
throw light upon the subject Is ono of tbo
victims , und In this Instance Hascrneyer Is
the only man who could giVe a clue to the
real cause. Tbo Very nature of the explosion ,
however , demonstralcs the fact that the
boiler was perfect nnd without n Haw. U
gave out at no single spot , but exploded en
tire and wns blown out of the bade of the lo
comotive. The boiler tubes were wrenched
out and twisted in every shape , und the
whole engina collapsed completely , leaving
nothing upon the trucks.

yesterday over the antics of N. P. Peterson

on the subject of patents , lifo insurance ,
lightning rods , etc. , which ho classes together
and yesterday proceeded to act the role of

the patontrlght man into leaving town.
Frequent windy passage-at-nrms occurred
during the day which atlracted the attention
of largo crowds each tlmo , and finally re
sulted In a collision of physical forces in the
evening. The citizens are highly Indignant
iU Peterson's arrogant and totally uncalled
tor action , since ho was not nn Interested
party nor had ho over boon approached by
the person of bis antipathy. Several heavy
purchases of the patcntrlcht have been nmdo
by moneyed men of the community who
claim that the fence Is a good thing and thnt
Peterson Is Inviting ridicule by his foolish

Plan of Action of the OowlHli Alliaiu'c
ol' America.
PiilMDKi.i'iiu , July 33. An appeal and
plan of action with regard to Russian Jew
ish Immigration was today Issued by the
Jewish alliance of America. It Is In part us
follows : "It may bo stated beyond question
thnt It the annual influx ot tbo many thou
sands of Immigrants could by some effective
system bo quickly distributed through the
vast interior of the Union ihoy would prove a
desirable acquisition to the respective locali
ties in which they settle. It is , however ,
manifest that Iho assimilation of these f'nmi-
ciants is retarded through their concentra
tion in the larger communities and particu
larly in the seaboard cities.
"To compass such ends for the refugees
from Russian barbarism the Jewish alliance
of America has been organized. United ef
forts by Jews In till Quarters of the union will
bo potent In doing what is required. Let
every member of the community give n little
time and effort to guide them whore they can
settle nnd mnko a living and It will bo founJ
that In ono place n few families may bo pro
vided , in another place opportunities can be
given to still more , nnd so on. Pecuniary
help will como from members of the alliance ,
from the Baron Do Hlrsh trust fund nnd from
the liberality ot our community The im
mediate purpose to bo kept in view is the set
tlement ol small JowKh communities in the
( owns and villages of the interior throughout
the country.
"A sketch of the plan In general may bo
stated as follows : Tbo entire country "shall
bo divided into districts. Each district shall
be directly controlled by thn branch organ-
l/atlon in the principal city of the district ,
all other branches , in the some district to co
operate under the direction of the principal
branch. All measures of general policy are
to remain subject to the division and control
of the central committee. Tlio board of olllcers
of each of the branches of the nlllanco shall
appoint a number of their members whoso
duty it shall bo to find locations where ono
or more families may bo settled under
circumstances affording them n reason
able subsistence. The olllcers of
the local branch shall cndoavor
to locate in the places thus determined such
persons or families as have applied to them
for the purpose , nnd in the absonso of such
applications they shall report the occasion to
the central executive committee , who shall
thereupon tnuo such action as may best pro
mote the end in view.
"For the furtherance of the general planet
ot local establishment the now settlers may
bo aided by the local branch , through the
oftlcors and agents , witn transportation ,
tools or subsistence us may bo found expedi
ent , the expenses of such'ntd to bo paid out
of the general treasury of the alliance upon
authorization of the central e\ccullvo com
mittee. It Is especially recommended that
congregations , clubs and lodges nnd the vari
ous Jewish orders and other Jewish orirani/a-
tlons be urged bv their members to take an
Interest in the matter. "

KNOXVIM.K , Tcnn. , July 23. This morning
the miners' committee loft ICnoxvlllo for Coal
Creek with the decision of the governor that
the convicts wcro allowed to bo placed In the
mines from which they had been evicted by the
miners , the militia would bo withdrawn and
the legislature would bo convened In extra
session tor the purpose of taking such action
as It saw tit on the convict lease system.
Coal Creek was reached at 11 o'clock n. in. ,
and when the miners' committee- ana the
Associated press correspondent stepped from
the train n thousand minors were nsscmulod
to meet them. As soon as the committee
alighted from the train n loud volco was
heard , "All miners to the big grovo. " The
big grove wns about n mile from the station
and thither the largo crowd raoldly made its
way.
way.A
A rude platform was hastily constructed
and upon It was placed tlio committee and
Hon. J. C. Williams , who represented the
Knoxville arbitration committee. The crowd
was called to order by a minor , and two
spokesmen of the committee rotated the Inci
dents of their trip to meet the governor , how
ho received them and his decision. They
stated that tin * committee had received con
cessions and Una In their minds the minors
ought to grant some.
This did not meet with anything like uni
versal satisfaction , but the Implicit con II-
dcnco the miners have In their loaders wns
shown by the unanimous vote to accept tun
report of a committed on resolutions which
had been appointed and which had baen in
session while the speakers were being heard.
The gist of the resolutions was that the
convicts should bo returned , the minors guar
anteeing that they would not bo molested.
The militia will bo ordered homo. Six days
will be allowed to convene the legislature ,
during which limo no convicts shall bo mo
lested and no properly shall bo destroyed
and the minors , it necossarv , will place
guards to .see that the promises are kept
good.
The miners' committee returned to ICnox-
villo at 5(5 : ( p. m. ana are now In conference
with the governor and the ICnoxvlllo com
mittee.
One little Incident notice-1 by the Asso
ciated press man will show the discipline in
cITect and explain how well the miners wcro
in the hands ot the leaders. A burly , bluff
minor stopped up to ono of the leaders and
said : "I want to change the number of my
gun , I1 vo swapped. "
Immediately out came a lonir list of names ,
opposite to each of which was the number of
the Winchester rillo which had been as
signed to him.
The conference held tonight lasted three
hours and ended without any visible result.
Governor Buchanan declines to consldpr
the proposition for an armistice on the
ground that It would bo an Implied compro
mise with a violation of law that might at
the end of that time , in case- the legislature
declined to comply with the demands of the
miners , bo renewed with Impunity. The
representatives of the minors disclaimed any
threat and proposed to accompany the com
promise wllh an explanation wh'lch would
relieve It from any such construction. The
governor was ilrm , however , in his position
ana declined to yield.
There is no longer any doubt but hat the
governor will retain the convicts In the mines
at Coal Crook and Bricovlllo. Ills only n ques
tion of how it is to bo dono. The miners repre
sented at the conference express the opinion
that if threatened with only such guards as
are necessary to keep thorn In custody , not
militia , ami placed in their stockades there
will bo no interference with them until the
legislature has been convened and lias nctod
upon the repeal of the lease sys
tem. If the militia Is returned with
the convicts it is believed that their presence
will inflame the passions of the already ex
cited community ami n conflict wllh inde
scribable results might follow. This is the
situation now. The governor is considor'ng
not what ho will do but how ho will do it.
Ho will hnvo another conference with the
minors tomorrow morning. There will
not bo much further ilelav , nn.d
what is done will bo done not
Inter than Saturday. If the governor sees
his way clear lo send thn convicts baclr to
the mines safely in custody ot citizen guards
ho will probably take that course. If ho
does then quiet will bo restored until the
legislature Is convened.

WASHINGTON , July 'W. In view of the pos
sibility of n demand being made bv ( jovornor
Buchanan of Tennessee upon the president of
the United States for United States troops to
aid the state militia In suppressing the min
or's outbreak , officers of the war department
have been looking Into the legal aspect ot the
case. The result of the inquiry upon this
point , while not conclusive , is sufllelcnt to
cast grave- doubts upon the successful
Issue of such a demand by the gov
ernor. Section 4 of the fourth article of .tho
constitution provides that the president may
render necessary assistance wllh Iroops upon
the application of the legislature of the state
or the executive when the legislature cannot
bo convened. Tills is understood not to bo
the case at present In Tonresseo. Section fi ,
21)9 ) , revised statute * , makes It the duty of
tlio president to take such measures by the
employment of the militia or the land and
naval forces of the United States or of either ,
or by other measures as ho may deem neces
sary for the suppression of domestic violence ,
obstruction of the laws of the United States
or of the state when tending to de
prive the people of the state of the
privileges guaranteed bv the constitu
tion of the United States. It Is not
clear In this case that the constitutional
prerogative Is attacked and this particular
law was passed In 1871 to meet an alleged
indisposition of the southern state executives
to protect Individual voters. It has also
been uniformly hold that the president has
largo discretionary power In acting upon
applications for troops and must llrst satisfy
himself as to the legality ot the demand tfs
well as of the necessity and equity of the
demand , The second consideration makes It
evident that If Covornor Buchanan applies
for the assistance of United Statoi Iroops the
result of his application is by no moans
certain.

Cmcuno , July 23. [ Special Telegram to
TiiuBui : . | The fact that the great eastern
manufacturers nro developing u marked In
terest In the west was strikingly illustrated
in the organization of the Wuturtown land
nnd improvement company , nn extended ac
count of which was published in TUB Bur. a
short tlmo ago Mr. A. B. Tower of the
great manufacturing center Of Holyoke ,
who Is nt the Rleholicu , confirms the state
ment ns to this tendency.
"I nm on my way homo from Denver , " salt !
Mr. Tower , "whero the company of which
I nm a member Is putting In n plant for the
manufacture of printing paper. We expect
to bo running In n short tlmo. Wo will irivo
employment to IfiO men nnd will have an
output of about forty tons of paper p.'r day.
Manufacturing capital Is being attracted
westward more and moro every year as your
resources nro do volopo.l nnd the population
increases. Of course wo can produce goods
cheaper ov making them near the western
markets than if the material were snipped
east nnd then returned again in tbo shape of
the manufactured article. Bj the statement
thnt capital Is being attracted westward I do
not mean that manufacturers are transfer-
ing any part of tnolr Investments from the
east to the west , but that while increasing
their Investments at homo they are estab
lishing branched In the west. I know of
several contemplated moves in this direction ,
but ns thov have not taken final shupo J am
not nt liberty to civo any details. "
Mexico Tired of KcvoUiti n.
"Tho ftorios which have recently appeared
about a threatened revolution in Mexico are
made oul of whole cloth , " said Richard
Ciuenthor , minister to that republic , while
stopping at the Grand Pacific on his wnv to
his homo in Oshkosh. "Just why they should
bo sot ntloat I do not know , but"it Is pretty
well understood at the capital that they oni-
lunio from a certain newspaper correspond
ent who Is very fond of sensations.
The fact is that Mexico is per
fectly peaceful nud there isn't the
slightest danger of n revolution or of
any attempt to bring ono about. The Mexico
of today with Us railroads and telecraph lines
running to nil parts of the country , is not
the Mexico of ten yearn ago , when an upris
ing could take place In some remote section
and be well tinder way before the govern
ment could know anything nboul it. With
present means of communication any at
tempt at revolution could bge suppressed In
ten days. Mexico has st'anding nrmv of
1(0,000 ( men which would bq moro than ample
for any such emorroncy.
"As a matter of fact , however , the people
could hardly bo driven into a revoll ngainsl
the government. They have learned from
bitter experience that it doosn't pay. Presi
dent Diaz is popular and the people nro pros
perous and co.ntontod. "
Gormauy'H Military Service.
Mr. Cnrl Ueitnann Is the BOH ofn manufac
turer at Elberfeld , Germany , who is making
n sight-seeing tour , in the United . States and
Is now on his way to Yellowstone park.
" 1 am proud to have been n soldier in the
Gorman army oven for n very brief porlod , "
said ho at the auditorium. ' 'Having success
fully passed my examination in college
studies I was only required to servo ono year.
1 know that I have been greatly benefited
physically by the drill. It is very strict and
for the first tew months , until ono becomes
familiar with it , almost severe , but after thai
It is vorv pleasant exercise. It is a mlstftko
to suppose that Germans regard this compul
sory military service ns n hardship. If u
young man is compelled to serve for .three
years of course this may seriously interfere
witn his business , but If ho can pass a
satisfactory examination In his studios ho Is
only required to servo for ono year and this .
nonrlv all of the young men of Germany are
proud to do. Little children have their mili
tary caps , their guns and sabers nnd when
they got old onouuh to understand what It
means to servo the fatherland look forward
with cacerness to the time when they can
enter the army. You may also deny the re
ports , which 1 understand have obtained
ciiculatlon in this country , that the present
emperor has made hlmsoif unpopular by bis
t-cvoro enforcement of military discipline.
This matter has bcilii greatly exaggerated.
Germany was never moro loyal than she is
today and except among certain political
elements , the pmperor Is very popular.4
Why Now York Gen Democratic.
During his moro than throa score years and
ten Mr. Isaac L. Hewitt has lived much of
the time in the big city which covers the
light little island of Manhattan and bus
been a close observer of the mothoas which
prevail in the political circles of that munici
pality. Speaking on this subject at the
Grand Pacntic , he said :
"N'cw York city now has tljo very respectable -
able debt of ? iUI,0)l,000 : ) ) and the prospects
are that with all ho vast wealth she will not
pay it In the very near future. The trouble
Is that the city is so thoroughly In control of
corrupt political rings Urn expenses nro piled
up about as fust us the money comes in to
meet them. The great mass of mon who
would put a stop to this sort of thing if thov
had control cannot afford lo live in Iho city
proper nnd so hnvo no vnlco in Iho elections.
With n population of :2,0i)0)00 : ) ( ) people crowded
on the Island of Manhattan the price of real
estate Is something enormous , nnd the prices
nro going higher every year. No man of
ordinary means can nfford to live there , and
so ttio great majority of young men as soon
ns they got married and settle down buy u
homo fifteen or twenty miles from their
places of business. Having residences out
sldo of the city they of course have no votes
there , nnd the control of the affairs Is left In
tjie hands of the professional politicians , the
purchasable tiff-ruff and the machine. "
'H Natural Gas ,
"It Is not all surprising that Indlanashould
protest so vigorously against tbo iitto.npt to
plpo her natural vas to Chicago , " said F. J.
Close , n Pittsbtirg pl'iss manufacturer , attho
Doltind "In the nature of things tne sup
ply of this gas must In tlmo become ex
hausted , and uhat would sufllco to sup
ply n city like Indianapolis for nn
indefinite porlod uould satisfy iho wants
of Chicago for only a few j ears. In Pitts-
burg the use of natural gns Is now confined
almost entirely to private housos. The use
of this gas worked a wonderful transforma
tion In the appearance of thn cltv , although
I don't think Plttsburg was ever quito so
smoky as Chicairo. For the .present at least
the factories have returned to the use of
coal. It Is bald that pumps are to bo put In nt
Iho wells to as to supply tlio forcu which
formerly drove the gas through the pipe ) in
such largo quantities nnd that the factories
will then begin to use It again. "
\Vantn Cominiinlu tlon With Omaha
II. T. Lorosoy , n bronzed cattleman of Mon

river In the northern part of the state , says
tbo live stock men in his section are much in

which Is to unlto Helena and Omaha.
'At present , " said ho while stopping nt

Preliminary Trial \ ' Colonel Sam

AIIICAI.OV , Ivan , , July 23 > o preliminary
bearing of Jatnos Brcnnant murderer Of
Colonel Snm Wood , was lu .yesterday at
Hugotou bofbro three Justices of the oea'co
A largo delegation ot Colonel Wood's friends ,
nrmod to the teeth , were In town. But the
pcoplo of Slovens county hnvo a way of
doing llilngs , judicial and otherwise , which
Impresses the tenderfoot of the east wllh Its
effectiveness. When the cuso wns about lo
bo called three men armed with Winchester
rifles were stationed nt the door of the
schoolhouse , where the hearing was con-
ducio I , and each man as ho entered was
disarmed. On iho Inside of iho couri room
three men armed with Winchesters wcro on
guard. The precaution tnkon precluded the
possibility of trouble nnd no demonstrations
of any kind were mado.
The coroner , Mrs. Wood nnd Mrs. Car
penter were the only witnesses called by the
stato. The defense Introduced no evidence.
Attorney General Ivos objected to the
official stenographer for the Twenty-third
Judicial district taking the evidence. Ho
said that ho wan ted the evidence In long
hand , but bis real objection was probably
that ho thought the stenographer was too
near Judge Botklns.
Mrs. Wood's evidence wns n reiteration of
her published accounts of tlio killing.
Mrs. Carpenter corroborated Mrs. Wood In
that Bronnan had been standing in Iho vesti
bule of the church and waited there several
inlnuto-t before Wood came out. She also
stated that Brennan , when bo followed Wood
around the church , had D revolver In each
hand. Her testimony did not altogether
agree with lierstaloinent before the coroner's
Jury.After
After the hearing of Iho evidence the Jus
tices were only u few minutes In arriving at
their decision. Bronnun was hold to tlio ills-
ti let court without bail. His trial will take
place in Soptombar. Brennan w.u taken lo
Hutchinson today.
The question of securing a Jury in Stevens
county Is the treat problem in the Brennan
trial now. There uro less than three hundred
men eligible to Jury service in the counly.
Under thu Kansas law u Juryman must
neither have formed nor expressed an opinion.
It will bo u simnlo matter for the defense to
have every man in tlio county interviewed
and get nn expression of some kind from
him , which will render him ineligible. Tbo
case cannot be removed from Stevens county
unless the defendant consents , and it is pos
sible to postpone indefinitely the trial should
Bronnan prefer a continued residence in Jail
to a life sentence In the penitentiary. In the
event that a Jury could not bo secured In
Stevens county it would bo the duty of any
court of competent Jurisdiction to release
Bronnan on u writ of habeas corpus.

the political confident and advisor of the dis

asserts that Mr. Blaine is almost fully recov

Mr. Blaine cannot become a candidate for the

Secretary Husk's department published
the crop report for July toJ.iy. Tills Is
wlmt It says of tlio prospect Iti Nebraska
and lown :
Nebraska The rainfall during Juno wai
so great as to rotanl the crop prospects.
The low lauds were oxloaslvoly Inundated
and In many instances the rains were acoom-
p.inlod with tovoro wind , wnlch on account
of tlio rank trrowth , uatisoa all the grain to
lodge , especially small gr.xln. Corn will no
doubt recover , but the small grain will not.
Corn Is unusually woody and grass-grown ,
but It Is of good color and shows a peed
stand. Small grain being badlv "lodged"
will require moro troiiblo and oxpouso to
harvest and grout loss wilt occur.
Kve Is nil harvested ; wheat and
barley nearly so. T'oo much rain has caused
a rank growth of potatoo vines , which will
no doubt detract from the development of
the tuber * and their quality. Tin ? condition
of tlmottiy , clover and pastures has Increased
many points since Juno 1. Apples and
peaches have fallen olt badly , yet there will
bo a good crop.
lown-Tlio month of Juno has been ex
ceedingly favorable for growing corn. At
planting time the squirrels dtd the usual
damage , cut worms were more abundant
than usual In many sections , and .some locali
ties suffered somuwlint by a short drought ,
but the combined Injury , from all causes ,
will bo slight , mid tin ; prospect is good.
Tim condition of the crop In some sections
is affected by the excessive rainfall , render
ing the Holds too wet to culti
vate niul allowing weeds to got
a start. Doth sprint ; and winter
wheat promise well. There is an annually
Increasing acreage of winter wheat , and this
voar's crop Is orobably the largest that the
state has evr-r produced.
The rye crop is Doing cut In good condition.
Both rye and barley are good. Oats are
doing llncly , but many Holds are of rank
grpwth and are In d.iager of lodging. Pota
toes probably were never bolter and hnvo
been practically free from the attacks of the
bus. Meadows have partially recuperated
from the ollects of the early drouth , hut
neither clover nor timothy will bo a full crop.
Pastures were never bettor at this tiuio ot
the year.
Fruit prospects are excellent. May frosts
did some damage , but nolonough to prevent
an abundant crop.

that It was to their advantage to hold back

this city as well as In St. Paul becaubo ot
Its location in the great wheat bolt. Mr.

an average of 100,000 a day will be mailed
until were than a million of the circulars
altogether are Issued. The circulars , ho
said , will also bo published In about two
thousand weekly papers with which the
bureau Is connected , lie remarked that hone
no oil not say of coursn that It wns the circu
lar which hail brought about the result , but
he had noticed in a recent market toport that
as a matter of fact the actual movement of
wheat was 1-10 car loads loss than had been
estimated. Mr. Aycr said Iho Information
that the Issue of such a circular by alllanco
men wns In contemplation became public
prematurely about two weeks ago , when a
circular In course of preparation was pub
lished in a newspaper , A llnul decision to
issue the circular had not at that tlmo boon
made and many lending nlllunco mon
were unaware of It , but It has since
been determined on. Ho explained that the
executive committee of the alliance had not
acted on this mutter and that by the circular
no order was given to alliance men to hold
back their crop , that being contrary to the
methods of the alllanco. \ \ hat Is done by
this circular is to give the farmers Information
mation as to fuels In regard to the world's
