There was never a doubt that Gov- ernor Foss' programme of administra- tion would be a progressive one as soon as it became knmown that the first and foremost of progressives, George Fred Williams, was to give to the governor the benefit of his wise and sympathetic ideas. Mr. Williama has been out of politics for some time, but he was among the earliest to real- ize that Mr. Foss would be responsive to progressive doctrine, and although at one time Mr. Williams practically declared himself out of the democracy, today he is the acknowledged right- hand man of our democratic governor. But to Mr. Williams cannot be given all the glory. Others just as progres- sive as he is, are where they can be called upon to sive of their knowledge and experience. It is true that Tran- sit Commissfoner Josiah Quincy would be abolished officially, if the governor could have his way, but, on the other hand, Daniel J. Kiicy, one of the most forceful statesmen in Boston and Brookline, is backing the goyernor's ideas with ~ bills, Recommendations are all right, but measures make for progress.

New York, Feb. 3.—Ten thousand pounds of biack powder on board the lighter Kathuring W., “contrary to the company’s policy and orders,” proba- bly caused the explosion of dynamite at Communipaw, N. J., on Wednesday, according to Dr. W. G. Hudson, in- spector. for the E. E. Du Point De Ne- mours Powder company. This powde: he.said, was part of a Du Pont ship- ment for South America, as was the dynamite, but it should have been de- livered to a steamship, he maintained, before the dynamite was taken aboard. Black Powder More Dangerous Than Dynamite. “Contrary to general belief,” said Dr. Hudson, “black powder is far more dangerous than dynamite. 1 believe the powder became ignited and in ex- ploding detonated some of the dyna- mite—not much of it.
