FOREIGN AFFAIRS IS CAUSE
Kencvral of Treaty With Japan, Mo
rocco Affair and Peace Confer
ence Slake Change of 311 n
istcrs Undesirable'.'
CHICAGO. July 22.r-KSpeclaL) A Dally
News cablegram from London 6ays:
It Is generally believed that, when Pre
mier Balfour addresses the House of
Commons on Monday relative to -the de
feat of Thursdaj night, he will decline
elthc- to dlstolvc Parliament' or xeslgn.
The government realizes that It has lost
both the confidence of the country and
the majority Jn the House of Commons.
It feels, however, that It cannot sur
render to the Liberals now without com
promising the interests of the nation on
the standpoint of foreign relations. It
was announced In these cables on June
16 that the terms of the extended Anglo
Japanese alliance had been settled. The
Times and the Daily Telegraph this
morning admit this fact. The Telegraph
adds that the new treaty Is "on the
verge of signature." This treaty Is the
cornerstone of British policy in the East
ern hemisphere and the government
wishes to see It formally signed before
relinquishing power.
Balfour and his colleagues also feel that
Lord Lanfcdownc should be kept at the
foreign office until the Russo-Japanese
peace is finally arranged. It is doubted
whether any new foreign minister would
be able to exercise the Influence that
Lansdownc's unique record enables him
to exercise for preventing Interference
wltfr Japan's legitimate claims.
Furthermore, the Moroccan crisis Is not
yet settled, and the Anglo-French entente
is therefore in the presence of a crucial
test. King Edward would deplore the dis
appearance of Lansdowne from office.
While this is the case, he may be ex
pected to encourage Balfour to hold on
a little longer, unless completely deserted
by His Majesty.
How long the Liberals will last when
they accede to power Is uncertain, but
their downfall is likely to be followed
by Chamberlain's rise with his fiscal pro
gramme in the first place.

BALFOUR- WILL NOT RESIGN
Still Undecided Abbut Dissolving

LONDON, July 22. Dispatches to the
Associated Press indicating that the

bility of an Autumn dissolution Is still

before the Royal Commission appointed
on April 3 to investigate the charges of
corruption against members of the New

'HUGE R0CKJS BLASTED
Many Tons of Dynamite Clear Chan
nel of Plscataqaa River.
PLYMOUTH. N. H.. July 22. The big
blast of dynamite removing HendersWs
Point from the Plscataqua River was dis
charged at 4:10 today. The explosion -was
a complete success. There was no dam
age. Hundreds of visitors carae here today to
"witness, with the people of this city and
vicinity, the culmination of the engineer
ing prefect, which has bees under way
for the last three years, aad which has
UfDDB
attracted the attention of experts both in
this country and abroad. Henderson'B
Point Is a ledge some three acres in ex
tent, aad it was removed by exploding
simultaneously about 400 charges of dyna
mite aggregating at least 45 tons. In the
rock beneath the water.
It was arranged that by the closing of a
circuit at a safe distance from the ledge
sparks should be sent into contact with
the dynamite. The explosion resulting
shattered tho mass of rock and thereby
widened and deepened the waterway lead
lng to the big drydock recently completed
by the Government at the United States
navy-yard on Seavey's Island.
The contract price of the undertaking
was $743,000. The expense was covered by
an appropriation in the bill authorizing
the construction of the big drydock at tho
navy-yard, it Is understood tht the
charge of 45 tons of dynamite is the larg
est ever exploded at one time in this
country.
Henderson's ledge was a solid mass of
rock in a horseshoe shape. Around it
whirled Innumerable currents, and a tide
which has been the dread of all mariners.
The swift waters have worn a channel SO
fret deep' in the solid rock around the end
of the point, but the force of the cross
currents has been so great that for years
it has been a menace, especially to the
development of the navy-yard. With the
establishment of the great drydock, its re
moval was imperative. Its destruction
gives an epp roach 1000 feet wide and a
depth of water, ample for the greatest
rhips in the world.

SOMEBODY TO BLAME FOR EXPLO
SION ON'. BEX2VINGTOX.
OHIcem of Ship aad Bareae Officials
Knrrr Boilers Were Weak -Bae
Disagrees With Youag,
WASHINGTON, July 22. (Special.)
A serious complication has developed
In the investigation Inaugurated at the
Navy Department into the causes re
sponsible for the blowing up of the
gunboat Bennington. The Navy De
partment is fur from announcing that
mismanagement or criminal careless
ness caused the explosion, but the re
ports in possession of Admiral Rae,
chief of the bureau of steam engineer
ing, indicate it, A board of inquiry is
expected to bring out facts that will
result in a series of courts-martial.
The fact that the condition of the
furnaces under the boiler that was de
stroyed first was known to the officers of
the ship seems to place the blame on
them. The records of the department
'show that everybody whose duty Jt was
to be advised of the condition of the
boilers and furnaces of the war vessels
was fully acquainted with the condition
of those on the Bennington. These rec
ords In the Bureau of Steam Engineering
show reports on the subject as late as
April 14 of this year. The question is now
raised whether the blame for the disaster
rests with the officers of the ship or the
officers of the bureau.
On October 7 last, over a month before
Commander Young had assumed charge
of the gunboat. Commander Kossuth's
report observed:
. "Should the condition of the boiler
furnaces grow worse, urgent necessity
for gajng; to the navy-yard may arise."
OnA'pfll 14, of this year an inspector
reported that the ship was In no condi
tion to make the cruise to Honolulu,
from which she had Just returned before
the wreck occurred.
It was in response to these reports that
the Bureau of Steam Engineering ordered
the pressure on the Bennington's boilers
reduced from 160 to 145 pounds. This
"was some months after May, 1901, at
"which time the ships boilers and fur
naces were overhauled at the Mare Island
navy-yard. Since that time the gunboat
has steamed about COCK) miles.
There is no doubt of the fact that the
explosion was due to the collapse of the
crownsheet of one of 'the furnaces. The
boiler did not explode until after the
metal top of the furnace Fagged and
broke the structure. Admiral Rae, chief
pf the bureau, views the situation as one
of the greatest mysteries in the history
of the Navy-
"The boiler did not explode. In the
popular meaning of the word." he said
today in discussing the subject. "It did
not fly up through the deck, but instead
it was hurled aft. where It loosened an
other boiler and caused it to fly back
ward. If there had been an explosion,
the force would have been upward as
well as backward."
He scouted the theory of an explosion
In the shellroom. The report of Com
mander Young that the boilers had car
ried only 114 pounds of steam in coming
from Honolulu indicates that he was well
acquainted with the weakness of the
boilers and exorcising every precaution
to prevent accident.

MUST BE DUE TO EXPLOSIVES
Admiral Rae Says That Is Only Ex
planation of Disaster.
WASHINGTON. July 52- Rear-Admiral
C. W. Rae, chief engineer officer of tho
Navy, says he can only account for the
damage done the Bennington by an ex
plosion of high explosives, and relteratea
that there was nothing in the reports to
shows .that the boilers were in unsafe
condition. He said today:
"After examining the plans of the Ben
nington in the light of the dispatches
giving an account of the disaster, I cannot
conceive , how the collapse of a crown
sheet could damage the ship to the ex
tent stated or have blown people over
board from the decks. If there were high
rxnlnaire in the shellroom Just forward
of the pumproom and forward nreroom.
and they were expiooea oy me concus
sion, that would account for tho damage
done."
The detailed plans of the boiler-room
deck of the Bennington show a pump
room, a. narrow space Just forward of the
nreroom. and immediately forward of the
pumproom, a shellroom. The Navy regu
lations in regard to boiler inspection are
as follows:
Boilers will be thoroughly examined at
regular Intervals of about tare months,
other examinations belag mads as oppor
tunity offers aad aa the sealor enrtaeer of
ficer may coaalder necessary.
A detailed description of th coadltloc
of each boiler at each of these laminations
shall be eatered In the steam log and the
senior eaglneer officer's remark-book.
HER BOILERS WERE TiEAKING
Dcrccts Were Evident When Ship
Was Repaired at Honolulu.
"HONOLULU. July 22. Repairs on the
Bennington, occupying three weeka. were
mad here bv the Catton-Nelll Company,
but not on the boilers. The main shaft
of the port engine was lifted out and the
thrust collars re babbitted. The piston
rod of tho port engine, which was bent
half an Inch on the way here, was
straightened out and a crew under Chief
Machinist Nort Wheeler repaired the
steam olping.
There Is a rumor here that the Ben
nington's boilers were leaking before she
left. The machinists employed on the
vessel say Ihey did not hear of anything
being tho matter with her boilers.
On her recent departure from this port
the Bennington was delayed for two
hours because one of her boilers was ren
dered useless by a leaking plug.
One boiler was understood to be leaking
when the vessel went to sea.
CAUSED BY LEAK IN BOILER
Man About to Repair It When Ex
plosion Occurred.
WASHINGTON, July 22. The ileUlbi of
the explosion on the United States gun
boat Bennington at San Diego, as ascer
talned by Commander Lucien Young, were
received at the Navy Department, at 11:15
o'clock tonight In a long telegram. It ap
pears from the telegram that a small
leak had been discovered In boiler B. and
the bollermaker was on his way to repair
it and was passing, through the engine
room when tho explosion occurred. The
dispatch follows:
San Ditgo. July 22. I have employed stere-
oorea aad laborers from shore aad am xnak
lag erery effort to stop leaks aad to recover
oead atlll under wreckage aad boilers. I be
lieve principal leak Is at the "bottom below

Sine waa employed last night to pump out
water, but attempt waa unsuccesfuL I am
now rigging big centrifugal pump. Hop will

I am aS the opinion that the causa of the
accident, as far as I can ascertain, was a
small leak In boiler B. Bollermaker waa on
his way to repair It asd waa passing
through engine-room when accident occurred.
Boiler B waa forced to stern through Its
bulkhead and came in contact with boiler D,
which waa also forced through Its bulkhead,
and both boilers exploded with two close
explosions.
There waa no noise, only a thick thud
which filled the ship from stem to stern full
of scalding steam, soot aad ashes, even so
much so that main deck was uninhabitable

WASHINGTON, July 22. Officials of the
Navy who have taken charge of the dead
of the Benalngton at San Diego have
been Instructed to sead the bodies of cer
tain -victims to their homes, if this course
is practicable. This action has been
taken only In cases where the fa sallies of
the dead have demanded It- The Navy
Department has no authority to bear the
expense of the burial in such cases, but
will deliver the bodies at the home of
the nearest of kin. In cases where no
request Is saade, and the relatives are
willing to listen to the advice of the Navy
Department officials, the bodies will be
buried tomorrow at Fort Rosecrazss, which
is practically a National burylng-ground.
If they are buried there, the graves al

Judge- Bennett told the Jury that the
testimony would show the defendants to

Prineville. They, in following that busi

prived of them by the raids ot the cattle
men. Mr Heney would say that this
trouble had furnished a motive for the

Then they catch another cold and be-
gin to cough. Then they take cough
syrups which d no good.
By and by they get tired of taking
medicine and give up In despair. Their
cold continues; and their cough grows
worse.
Then they apply to a doctor, only
to find that they are In the first stages
of consumption.
At any time during the progress of

Peruna can be relied upon to check the

The speaker argued that the timber
craze hit the country about this time, and
this suggested, to Gesner a way to pro
tect his property from the cattlemen. The
place where the claims were taken was
in a good timber belt, and it had ap
peared to Gesner that if his neighbors se
cured the lands It would be good for blm,
that he could lease them and thus provide
title that would be respected by the cat
tlemen. Afterwards, It. might be, though
this was not decided upon, that the claims
could be purchased by Gesner should he
want V buy them. Gesner had Intended
to break no law. either of God or man.
and so he had gone to Biggs, and had
been told that he had a right to lend
money on the claims to enable the men
to prove up on them.
The defense would not deny that Gesner
located the men upon the claims, the
speaker stated. He was lending money
with a view to securing protection upon
the range, and naturally would have an
Interest in the location, but he had not
made any contracts with the claimants.
He might have Intimated that the claims
were worth $500 to him, but he had never
entered into any agreement to purchase a
single claim.
Judge Bennett then attacked the meth
ods of the Government, and stated that
the witnesses had been herded together
and warned not to allow themselves to
be talked to by any of the defendants or
their attorneys. They had" been coached
for two years, and before being put upon
the stand were made to read a statement
previously given and told to swear ac
cording to what was said there.
"A good deal has been said about Mr.
Williamson's having failed to remember
a visit to Prineville In June," said the
speaker, "but It has been three years
since that time, and he did not know
that he would be questioned about It. We
did -not know that there was any Im
portance attached to the visit, and when
we wanted time to Investigate we could
not have It. If It Is possible for Mr. Will
iamson to find out surely whether or not
he was there, as it Is said, he will come
