Ashland, W , July 20.—Another but less damaging explosion than that which oceurred Tuesday morning was experienced at 11:15 a. m. at the At lantic Dynamite company’s plant, seven miles from Ashland. No one was killed or injurtd. The dynamite and powder, which w: attered by last Tuesday's ex- plosion, had been gathered into a con- siderable pile near the site of the de stroyed neutralizing building. A bon- fire was lighted some distance a: from the explosives and thi fire spread through dry grass. Seeing that the fire was certain to reach the dyna- mite and powder pile a warning istle called every workman to a ant part of the plant. There they stood and waited for the explosives to “go up." This the explosives did, sending timbers and parts of machin- ery 2,000 feet into the air, ALLEGED 70'B’S’CENE ADS. Federal Officials After New York Her- ald Management, New York, July 20. H.

Guatemala and Salvador. The state department has recelved a dispatch from Mr. Brown, the American charge at Guatemala City, announcing the return of his superior, who was on the way to the United States when hostilities broke out between Salvador and Guatemala. Dispatches received at the state de- partment from American representa- tives in the two Central American re- publics also indicate that the armistice j1s being respected and preliminary negotiations for the conference are progressing satisfactorily. The Marblchead, upon which the conference will take place, is still at Acajutla, Salvader, so far as is known in Washington, and there are no ad- vices here which indicate when and where the peace commissioners will board the vessel, which is expected to sail for Guatemala in a short time. No names of commissioners have been communicated officially to the state department as yet. NINE MILES OFF THE COAST. Peace Conference on Board United States Cruiser. San Salvador, July 20.—The Amer- fean minister, Mr. Merry, accom- panied by the commissioners of Sal- vador, has left by an express train for Acajutla.

VOR AN IMMEDIATE*DISSOLU- TION OF PARLIAMENT. COUNTRY ON VERGE OF CIVIL WAR GOVERNMENT IS PREPARING TO (ACCEPT BATTLE WHEN THE CHALLENGE IS MADE. St. Petersburg, July 20.—The belief that the adoption by the lower house of parliament of a pro ® mation to the nation on the agrarian question will precipitate the long brewing conflict and plunge the country into civil war is profound. All hope of reconcilia- tion between parliament and the gov- ernment is vanishing and the govern- ment is evidently preparing to take up the gage of battle when it is formally thrown down. At a council held at Peterhot the camarilla came out strongly in favor of dissolving parlia- ment, but according to the best infor- mation the emperor hesitated and at the moment of adjournment refused to agree to a dissolution, though his final decision was postponed. Never- theless, the more moderate faction of the Constitutional Democrats, compre- hending that the government can hardly avoid the’issue, shrink from making the appeal to the country ‘which may involve a climb down, They seriously believe that the advocates of a dissolution of parliament, realizing that making the appeal would be equivalent to a Declaration of Civil War, count upon the active intervention of Austria and Germany, which, accord- ing to the official Rossia, have agreed iu principle on sending troops across the border to aid in the suppression of an agrarian uprising should the Russlan government formally re- quest it. The Rossia’s announcement created a tremendous sensation. It is stated that the decision of the two neighboring powers was based on fear that the execution of the principle of the confiscation of property in Russia would constitute a danger to them. ~The Rech, which joins in the,appeal to parliament not to take a step which might seem to warrant the govern- ment in asserting that parllament is attempting to usurp the executive power, says that if the government adopts the desperate expedient of call- ing in foreign troops to put down a clyil war the result will not be the same as in 1849, when a Russian army saved the Hapsburg dynasty. The paper declares that the people will rally under the banner of parliament, as they did in England under that of the English pnrliamem at the time of Charles I, “with probably a similar result, namely, the loss of the king's head.” WOULD EXECUTE STOESSEL RECOMMENDATION OF COMMIS. S8ION INVESTIGATING SURREN- DER OF PORT ARTHUR, 8t. Petersburg, July 20.—The re- port of the. commission appointed to inquire into the circumstances attend- ing the surrender of Port Arthur rec- ommends that Lieutenant General Btoessel, the former commander of the fortress, be sentenced to death and that Lieutenant General Fock, who commanded the Fourth Bast Si- berian division at Port Arthur, be con- demned to twenty years in the galleys. The commission also considers that General Reuss should be expelled from the army and that Admiral Alex- leff, former viceroy in the Far East, should be reprimanded. RUSSIAN TOWN Inhabitants Fleeing to Nearby Cities for 8afety. Bainara, Russla, July 20.—The town of Syzran, province of Simbirsk, is in flames. The inhabitants are fleeing to Samara and Saratoff. The lutest news from Syzran is that the government buildings and treas- ury are on fire and the panic stricken inhabitants have sought refuge in the surrounding fields and forests. St. Petersburg, July 20.—No doubt is entertained here that the burning of Syeran was a revolutionary demon- stration. The members of parliament from Samara and Saratoft have re- ceived telegrams on the subject, but ghey shed no light on the origin of the conflagration. PASSENGERS TAKEN OFF SAFELY Exeursien Steamer Runs on Sandbar at Neenah, Wis. Neenah, Wis., July 20.—The excur- sfon steamer Evelyn, with 400 passen- gers aboard, ran on a sandbar at Nee- nah. Officers of the steamer prevent- ed a panio and all the passengers ‘were taken off in safety. The boat was returning to Oshkosh from Brigton Beach, a summer resort.

Des Molnes, July 20.—George Hippe, general manager of the Des Moines strect railway, and A. M. Hadley,! manager of a big farm belonging to the company, have been arrested charged with attempting to bribe Al- derman J. L. Hamery in an effort to secure the latter’s vote on a pending street railway franchise. They gave bond in the sum of $1,000 each. Hamery claims that the alleged transactious, in which money was paid him by the street railway com- pany’s manager, occurred in the alde man’s bathroom and that he had wit- ! nesses to the transactions. MADMAN SLAYS THREE. Kilis Two Women Patients and Mor- tally Wounds Keeper. Scranton, Pa., July 20.—A terrible tragedy was perpetrated in the Hill- side home when one of the insane pa- tients killed two inmates and mortally wounded one of the keepers, The murderer is Ignatz Krewzyp, a deaf and dumb Pole, who was not re- garded as dangerous. The insane man ran into the doc- tor’s office and there picked up an amputating knife with a blade about’l ten inches long. He ran upstairs to the upper floor with Keeper Davies after him. Krewzyj turned and buried the knife in the keper's chest. He then ran upstaivs and attacked two women. He stabbed Mrs. Anna Golden, aged fifty-three, in the chest, the knife pierc- ing her bedy twice, and then stabbed Mrs. Van Valen once. Floyd Fieemer, son of the superin- tendent of ' the institution, had fol- lowed the man and after the attack on the women he knocked the knife out of his hand. Both women died soon afterward. 3 Duluth Wheat and Flax. Duluth, July 19.—Wheat—To arrive and on track—No. 1 Northern, 79%¢; No. 2 Northern, 77%ec; July, 79%¢c; Sept., 783%c; Dec., T8}4c; May, 82%c.

Peasants in Voronezh Province Burn. ing All Estates. Moscow, July 20.—A landlord fiee- ing from Bobrov, in the province of Voronezh, where a peasant uprising | has taken place, has arrived here and gives a frightful picture of the devas- tation. He describes the losses in the province as colossal. The troops are rowerless to cope with the peasants, who are marching in large bands, de- stroying practically everything. Not more than onetenth of the estates are spared. Upon approaching a vil- lage an advance detachment of the peasants enters, announces that it is being pursued by 6,000 troops with machine guns and asks for support. The villagers thereupon join the riot- ers and the procession moves on. The movement was started by the refusal of the landlords in the northern part of the Bobrov district to agree to an advance of wages to the farm women. The ripening crops are not being har- vested.
