BODIES OF VICTIMS BADLY MANGLED CONCUSSION SO TERRIFIC THAT WINDOWS WERE BROKEN A MILE FROM SCENE. Pinconning, Mich., Sept. 18.—By the explosion of an alleged defective boiler in the stave mill of Edward Jennings here five men were Kkilled and eight or ten injured, two of them s0 seriously that they. will probably die. The dead are: Richard Gifford, Burt Bell, Charles Easter, William Alpin and Fred Nichols. Easter and Alpin were married men and leave families. : The explosion came without the slightest warning to the workmen and the destruction of the mill was com- plete. Portions of the wreck were scaitered about for several hundred feet. Thirty men were at work in the mill when the explosion occurred. The con- cussion was so terrific that windows were broken a mile from the mill The bodies of the five men killed| were badly mangled. DEATH LIST REACHES NINE. Result of Explosion and Fire at Avon, Conn, Avon, Conn., Sept. 18.—The list of deaths Dy the explosion and fire which destroyed the Climax fuse works here now numbers nine, two of the injured having died during the night. The latter were Charles Dimock and Miss Nora Ryan, both of whom were se- verely burned. Another;of the injured, Charles Legayt, is not expected to live. The exact cause of the accident may never be known, but it is the ac- cepted theory here that in an effort to burn out a stoppage in one of the machines a workman caused an ex- plosion of a fuse with the hot iron he held in his hand. Those who were in he room where the explosion occurred say that the explosion was not severe and ordinar- ily would not have caused a panic. Inflammable material, however, was set on fire and in a few moments the room was in a mass of flames. In an instant there was a mad rush for the doors and windows and dur ing the scramble many were pushed back into the building, while others were severely burned. The property loss is estimated at from $100,000 to $150,000. Four build- ings were destroyed. Secretary’ Taft at Yokohama. Yokohama, Sept. 18.—Secretary of| ‘War William H. Taft has arrived here and during the day received visits‘ from distinguished citizens of Tokio, 2 large number of local Japanese and foreign residents.

PEACE' TREATY FREELY DISCUSSED MEMBERS OF BARON KOMURA'S S$TAFF STOP AT ST. PAUL EN ROUTE HOME. St. Paul, Sept. 18.—Five members of Baron Komura’'s staff passed through this city during the day en route to Seattle, where they will sail for Japan. H. W. Dennison, the Amer- ican .adviser of the Japanese f(g;(gn office, was one of the party and he commented freely on the Portsmouth treaty of peace. Mr. Dennison said: “If you have failed to pay a debt which your creditor is not in a posi tion to collect that’s no reason you should feel specially proud of your self. But the Russians are taking great credit to themselves because they have got out of paying an in demnity to Japan. “We didn’t insist upon an indemnity for the simple reason that our posi tion didn’t permit of insistence. Ii we’d had a fleet in the Baltic sea or an army before St. Petersburg or at the gates of Moscow we might have enjoyed the same advantage that the Germans possessed when they occu pied Paris. They got a big indemnity from Krance merely as an inducement to go away. An indemnity in inter- national affairs, you know, is not sc¢ much payment for past losses as a guarantee that future losses will be prevented. = “But our fleets and armies were many thousands of miles from Euro pean Russia. We could, it’s true. have renewed the war and captured Vladivostok and got, perhaps, in a position to collect an indemnity, but it would have cost us some millions of Yen—as much as the indemnity -itself was worth, not to speak of loss of men. Did as Well as Expeeted. “Our treaty secared all'that was to be expected. We obiained perfect guarantees against further encroach- ments on the part of Russia. The czar still holds Vladivostok, but it is §0 hemmed in by channels controlled by us that it is no longer a menace. The safest approach to that seaport is the one taken by the last Russian! fleet and you know what happened to that. Besides, it will be at least twen- ty-five years before any menace from Russia will be possible. It will take that long for her to build another navy. “As for the upper half of Sakhalin island, which the Japanese ceded to Russia—why, we mnever fully con- trolled that half, and all the most val uable fisheries and other important resources of the island are in and about our fraction. We have secured, also, full liberty to fish along all the R an coast in.the Pacific. No; the embassy isn’t at all appre-f hensive about a hostile reception in Japan. We're losing no sleep about it. There’s no probability of any as- sassinations on our return, or of any serious trouble. The riots were large- ly instigated, we suspect, by political influences. Any sort of a treaty would have been attacked by the opposition. And the people will not blame Baron Komura and his associate envoy. We voys did their plain duty; they car- ried out their instructions and did not exceed them. “As to the report that the baron is committing harikari by slow poison— it’'s good American newspaper stuff. Bat there’s nothing in it.” ALL ESCAPE SAFELY. dred Girls. Chicago, Sept. 18.—Fire in the base- ment of the Occidental building caused a panic among 500 girls em- ployed in the eight-story structure at Market and Washington streets. =Or- der was restored only after men em- The wo- to the street.

Khfimel,fi» ind,, Sept. 18.—Two per-| sons were killed and a number inj'fired[ in a collision between eastbound pas- senger train No. 14 and a light en- gine on the Baltimore and Ohio one mile west of here. The light engine, which had been standing on the sid- ing waiting for No. 14, had pulled out on the main line a ance that made it impossible for p: enger trains to clear.
