Impossible to Tell What Caused the Explosion — Disaster on the Steamer St. Paul. SEW YORK, December 18—Five men were killed and six injured this morning by the explosion of a steam pipe on the American Line steamer St. Paul while the vessel lay at her dock at the foot of Ful- | ton street, North river | Yhe dead are—James Fawns, assistant engineer,of Engiand; ——— Manning, fourth Robert Campbell, ma- ew York; George Williams, ma- J.; Daniel McCullion, chinist, } chinist, Hoboken, N. machinist, Brooklyn. ‘The injured are—Frank Vespers, third as- | nt engineer, Roxbury, Mass.; Andrew Heard, storekeeper, Scotland; Dun- | ham, machinist, E nd; A, Fogel, Scot- land; Edward Wischert, engineer. é these were seriously . scalded taken to the Hudson Street Hospital.

From above the noise of the escaping steam could be heard the cries of the men who had been at work in the engine room injured by the explosion.

They had all been aided to death and their faces and those parts ef the body which were not covered by their clothing looked as if they had been | parboiled. The bedies were covered over ces of paulin and word was sent to the coroner’s cflice. The greatest excitement prevailed aboard the vessel for a time, and it was thought that the boiler had blown up. The force of the explosion was so great that it blew out a portion of the bulkhead and shattered every particle of glass within a radius of fifty feet. Main Steam Pipe Bursted. On investigation it was found that the main steam pipe at the bend, near the bulk- head, had bursted. The pipe is sixteen Inch- es in Giameter and extends from one end of the ship to the other. It was said by Superintending Engineer Clark that he did not know exactly what the amount of pressure at the time was, but he was sure that it was not nearly sufficient to cause the pipe to burst. He said that he was not able at this time to tell just what caused the explosion, whether there was not sufficient room to al- low of expansion or whether there was a flaw in the casting. Mr. Clark said that he was sure that the vessel could not sail within a week, for it would require -at least that time to make the necessary repai The steamer has made three round trips. It is likely that some of the men cannot survive. The first fast steamer to sail from New York to Liverpool is the Campania of the Cunard line, and to her the United States mail now on the St. Paul will be trans- ferred. > DEAD LETTER POLICE SALES. D Lottery-Like Auctions That Get Peo- ple Wild to Bid. The sale of dead letter packages is going en from day to day at Dowling’s, on E street near 7th. The crowd, as usual at such sales, is a jolly one, gathered quite as much for fun as for gain, and the bidding is most of the time “just a gentle gamble,” as one old gentleman remarked today. The articles put up for sale are of the most var- ied and comical character. The prices bid are almost without exception far in excess of the value of the things sold. ‘There was also today at Ratcliffe, Sutton & Co.'s an auction of lost and stolen prop- erty, left unclaimed in the hands of the police department. Bidders could see every article for which they were asked to bid. There were tools, books, clothing, jewelry, musical instruments and similar articles in great profusion. Sales amounted to $228 in all. ‘The amount of property this year is small- er than usual, for the reason that weapons of every description are destroyed instead of being sold, as they were befere the new concealed weapon law went into effect.

A meeting of the executive committee of the Hebrew fair was held last evening at the Eighth Street Synagogue, presided over by H. King, jr, with S. M. Myer acting as secretary. It was decided definitely, after thorough discussion, that the fair will be held in Odd Fellows’ Hall on 7th street. Reports from the several subcommittees were received, noting encouraging progress in the work of preparing for the big event. Donations from other cities have been gen- erous, while the local merchants, it was re- ported, are giving substantial’ assistance and taking a deep interest in the bazaar. Another meeting will be held in two weeks. > High School Reunions. ‘The classes of '92 and "93 of the Washing- ton High School, Central branch, are to hold a joint reunion the evening after Christmas, with dancing and refreshments as the prin- cipal numbers on the program.

Allegations That Appointments and Removals Are Made for Polit- jenl Effect. Mr. Charles Gross of this city has filed charges at the Navy Department agatnst Truman Welling, a foreman at the Wash- ington navy yard, and asked that they be thoroughly ventilated. Gross was employ- ed at the yard as a laborer from February 1895, until the 12th instant, when he ‘charged, along with two other men. He claims that he end the others were im- properly discharged, and that incompetent and worthless men have been retained, con- trary to the rules made by the Secretary of the Navy for the regulation of labor at the ards. He also alleges that appoint- ments and removals are made for political effect, and that Foreman Welling has al- lowed several of the men under him to work when they were drunk and unfit to do so. In closing bis petition Gross asks that the Secretary cause a thorough investiga- uon of the charges and take such action as the facts and circumstances may warrant. Sceretary Herbert has gone to New York, and actioa in the matter will be deferred until he returns. He is expected back Friday. it is said at the Navy Department that Foreman Gross ean scarcely be held responsible for these discharges, inasmuch as under the regulations he has no juri diction what er in such a matter. The regulations governing discharges at the navy yard are as follow “When discharges are necessary from want of work they shall be made on navy yard orders, form 7, by the head of the department, subject to the approval of the commandant, and those whcse services are of the least ‘value shall be first dispensed with. “The head of each department shall be personally responsible for the performance of the duties enjoined upon him by the preceding paragraph, and it shall be his duty to familiarize himself from time to lime, so far as may be, with the quality of the services rendered by each workman in order that he may himself decide upon discharges.” ———___ - e+ ____- ANACOST: LICENSE. Stern Fight Between Saloon and Antl- Suloon Forces. Will Anacostia be a prohibition village another year? That is the grave question that is occupying the attention of the cit- zens of that section just at present, and the excise board is scratching its triple head over the difficult problem, Already the application of one promising bar room keeper has been rejected, and the imbibers of the cup that cheers who live in Anacostia are watching with more than ordinary interest the outcome of the application of Messrs. Leonard & Beall, who seek to establish a tavern at 45 Har- risen street. But the path which leads to a license is beset with difficulties, and the obstacies which they have already encoun- tered are discouraging. The temperanze element is alive to the situation, and has already made several strategic moves that threaten the license. Protests have been filed against the | suance of the license covering every con- ceivable point. Nothing daunted, the appli- cants today filed with the excise board a long petition, answering one by one the protests that had been filed against them. In the first place, to the charge that the saloon was to be conducted by a syndicate they enter a strong denial, adding that, while several persons are interested in the new building where they propose to locate, only the applicants have any in- terest in the business. They say in reply to the statement that the Central Union Mission is located within four hundred feet of the proposed saloon that the lease which it holds is fishy, not only because the quarters were engaged after it was the evident purpose of the applicants to apply for a license, but, further, because only $36 a year is to be the price paid for the hall, which is manifestly too small a rent for property which cost $8,000, and which brings in a rent of $600 a year. They be- Heve it is the work of the opposition to de- feat the license. In addition, they call at- tention to the fact that they have the necessary signatures to the application, and have not only complied with the law and regulations in every respect, but have erected a handsome building for the pur- pose of keeping a saloon, which they as- sure the excise board will be strictly first- class. — Fined and Imprisoned. At Towson, Md., on the 9th instant, a man, whose name was givea as Walker, residing in Baltimore, was sentenced to both fine and imprisonment for counter- feiting Rumford yeast powder. His plan was to refill the old Rumford bottles with a@ spurious compound and then to sell the goods to retail grocers as the genuine Rum- ford. This is the second scamp appre- hended recently, so {t would seem that the Rumford chemical works and their agents are fully awake to any attempt to counter- felt their preparations, which have an enviable reputation of half a century. degrees | sippl_and lower Missouri valleys and northern Texas.

The State Department Says That the Date Fixed is Not the Correct One. The “foreign office,” as the State Depart- ment is invariably designated by Anglo- maniacs, {s said to he somewhat mystified by the selection of December 19, 1895, by the merchants of New York, headed by Mr. C. M. Depew, as the centennary of the Jay commercial treaty. According to alvices from the metropelis, arrangements have been completed for an “American commerce banquet” at Delmonico’s on Thursday next in commemoration of the elose,of the first century of commer-ial liberty in America, as secured by the treaty with England ne- xotiated by Chief Justice Jay. The hanquet is to be an imposing affair, and am speakers are announced Senator Fr Don M. DicRinson, Gen. Chas. H. and Gen. Horace Porter. The rece committee consists of some of the mest prominent citizens of New York, with Dr. Depew at its head. The Real Daten. While not attempting to criticise the pro- priety of the celebration, the officials of the State Department are puzzled to account for the selection of December 19 as an an- niversary of the Jay treaty in any of its stages of progression. According to the of- ficial records. open to everybody who desires: to consult them, the commercial treaty be- tween the United States and Great Britain, known in this country as the Jay treaty v ceneluded at London November . Ratifications were exchanged also at London October 28, 1795, and the treaty was proclaimed by the President of the United States February 20, 1796. So far as the two contracting governments were concerned, | the treaty took effect November 19, 1704, but with special reference to the individual inhabitants of the two countries it did vot take effect until officially proclaimed by the respective governments, which, in the case of the United States, was February 20, 1706. These are ofl dates, and, according to them it is difficult to understand why the 19th of the present month should be cele- brated as the centennial or other anniver- sary of the treaty in question. So far as the government concerned, the occasion will receive no recognition whatevers The Treaty Made by Jay. The treaty concluded by Chief Justice John Jay gave to American merchants the same privileges at sea which Gen. Wash- ington provided for American citizens on thelr own soll. It was the freedom to come and to go forth and to barter and to buy at will. Tt gave them their full commercial rights as a nation and-laid the foundation for inaritime prosperity.

HOUSE READING CLERKS Two Good Selections After an Interesting Competitive Trial. Col. Lampson and R. S. Hatcher the Successfal Men—Something About Them. In all the distributicn of patronage in the House there are but two places which go by competitive examination. These are the positions of reading clerks of the House, where fitness must control the selection. It is not a general competition, since politics is considered in the matter, but those mem- bers to whose lot it falls to control these appointments, must furnish candidates who can stand the test. This is the case no matter which party is in power, and even after long trial it is often dificult to find a man who can read _ satisfactorily. The House is a had place to read in. Some fine elocutionists fail utterly when they en- ter the contest. In the last Congress they got two good readers, though it has been long since they had one like Neil Brown, who read in the early democratic Congr es. During the first week of this Cong! the compeiition was in progress, and some ludicrous failures were made by some of the most confident and hopeful candidates. Two ad Selections. - The contest has resulted in the selection of two really good readers—Col. E, L. Lampson of Ohio and Robert Stockwell Hatcher of Indiana. Next to the Speaker they will be the most conspicuous indi- viduals in the next House, because they will stand at the desk during every session and address the House more than any member. Few will pay any attention to what they say, but they must make them- selves heard. even to those engaged in con- versation on topics remote from the sub- ject matter of the reading. Col, Lampson. Col. Lampson is an ex-lieutenant gov- ernor of Ohio, and for a time speaker of the Ohio house of representatives, and a member of the state senate and president pro tem. of that body He has been a conspicuous figure in Ohio politics for some years past. He is a &raduate of the University of Michigan, and trained in both the professions of law and journalism. After holding many local offices, Mr. Lampson was elected to the lower house of the legislature from Ashta- ‘ula county, in I8S1. Re-elected to the legislature, he was clevated to the speaker- ship. In 1889 he entered the field as a can- didate for the governorship, but that place on the ticket went to Joseph B. Foraker. Mr. Lampson in 181 secured the nomina- tion for the state senate, after an exciting contest, his opponent being James R. Gar- field, the second son of the late President. Robert Stockwell Hatcher. Mr. Hatcher was backed for the reading clerkship by the entire Indiana delegation, and is an excellent reader. He is also a fine-looking young fellow, with a clear ad- dress and fine bearing. He reads in a very clear voice and with dn effort at compre- nsion of what he reads. ir.

Roy White, a colored boy, and two colored companions declared war against China yesterday, and about 8 o'clock in the even- ing they made an attack on the laundry of Li Hing at 2156 K street. Li and his part- ner, Hing Lee, were ironing clothes at the time, and because of the severe heat, the front door was left open. Stones were used in the bombardment of the laundry, and one of the missiles landed against Li Hing’s forehead and inflicted an ugly wound. But the Chinamen did not retreat. Instead of doing so they rushed into the street and captured the enemy. Then the distress whistle was blown, and Policeman Cooney, who responded, found the two Chinamen and their prisoner in the laundry. Li 1 ~:ng's face was covered with blood and th wound was such a painful one that he was sent to the Emergency Hospital. There. several stitches were put in the wound and the celestial returned home, while the colored boy was sent to the police station. “This is taking war into China,” re- marked Judge Miller when he heard the case this morning, and the boy was fined $20 or sixty days. ——__.
