BAN FRANCISCO. Dec. S.-Wlth a Jarr
ing detonation that shattered every win.
dow within halt a mile. of the Fulton
Iron Work, the oil' tank of the steamer
Prcgresse exploded this morning, com
pletely destroying the vessel and sending
four men to an Instantaneous., and hor
ribly fleets. The VfrtfOi' were Timekeeper
McGeorge and four firemen. Eighteen
I others were seriously wounded or burned
by the flash Qf burning oil that enveloped
the vessel.
The Progresse, which was an ocean
going craft 270 feet in length, had been
in the hands of the Fulton Iron Works
for some time and had undergone com
plete remodeling for the purpose of con
verting her into an oil-burning vessel.
It was on her trial trip that the accident
occurred. It is not known in what man
ner Are was carried to the oil tanks, but
the explosion was one of the most severe
lever experienced in this city.
MUCH DAMAGE. .
In addition to the complete and total
I destruction of the ship and the killing of
four of her crew there was great havoc
wrought at the iron works by the shoe
of the explosion. Several bulldlugs were

was damaged. Fortunately the boat was
far enough removed so that none of the
buildings -at -the works caught fire or
ther .wuttJUi Uavtj been, much .addAUunal
Floss.
The experiment was being watched
with much interest and no danger was
feared. Many of the injured are in dan
gerous condition, and some of the burns
and scalds from oil render the agony of
the victims most excruciating.
It will be impossible to tell the exact
number of lives lost. Fifty workmen
were in the hold of the steamer at the
time and some were on deck. An oil
tank, containing 400 barrels of oil, ex
ploded, tore up the decks and broke the
ship In two.
STRANGE ESCAPE.
Captain Harding escaped miraculously.
Many were blown Into the water. Harry
Conamara was blown to the dock and a

The Commission Met at
Scranton Today.
Justice Gray Expresses Sorrow That
Agreement Was Not Reached
During the Recess.
SCRANTON, Pa., Dec. 3.-With every
thing several degrees behind the point it
had reached when adjournment was
taken, the anthrucite sirike settlement
commission resumed session In this city
today. Justice Gray presided and eacn
member was in his place. In opening
the heuring. Justice Uray said:
"I regret very much, and my colleagues
Join wHh am in -this feeling, the mlsun
deretandift which prevented-me -t
dilatory agreement being. . r:&(.hed. , be
tween the miners and the mine operators
that could have been approved by the
commission. Not only has this caused
general disappointment, but delay has re
sulted as wall."
The taking of testimony was resumed
and Danow Introduced as evidence sev
eral miners and their wives and chil
dren. Only ono company, the Delaware &
Hudson, submitted the promised state
ment of wages. Counsel MacVeagh, for
the Pennsylvania & Reading, declared
that a large force of clerks had been
constantly at work going over the books
of that company during the whole of the
ten-day recess, hut the work was still
far fror completed.
INDEPENDENTS dUT.
The Independent operators this morn
ing would not submit their accounts or
show profit or loss. Darrow replied that
If they were willing to admit that miners
were entitled to fair wages, whether the
company was making money or not, he
would ajrree that It was useless to have
the accounts submitted; otherwise, if they
contend they are unable to pay fair
wages the submission of the accounts
will be necessary.
Mitchell was the first witness. He said
that a 20 per cent, increase In wages
meant 17 cents a ton added to the cost
of mining coal.
THE QUESTIONS.
MacVeagh questions were entirely
relative ' fo wagei - "After1 'Mitchell was
excused photographic exhibits of miners'
homes - were; offered- - Darrow ' then put
Coal Miner Dettery on the stand. He
has been a miner 17 years and told of
the system of docking. He said on some
occasions 40 per cent of the weight had
been deducted. He lost $Jf0 in that way
last year. His total income for several
years past has been only $200. He has
been blacklisted once because he would
not disown his union and once because
he refused to work where he could only
make. $3. a week

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. Acting Minis-
tcr Herran of Colombia at 8 o'clock this J

tried to have the franchise passed and
succeeded last Summer In having It passed
by the Council and approved by the
Mayor, which was accepted by our com
pany. OBTAINED RIGHTS OF WAT.
"After obtaining the franchise we went
to Work getting, rights, .uf ; .between f
this city and Hlllsboro. By our road It
will be a distance of i'o miles to that
point. From Hlllsboro we Intend build

We have already secured private rights
of way to Hlllsboro. with a possible ex
ception or two, which do not amount to
very much.

ordinance passing our franchise we placed

COUNCILMAN B. . 8IGLER.
"It's a hundred to one shot that the Mayor's vefo will be sustained on the oil
district ordinance," said Councilman Slgler Just before the meeting of the alder
men this afternoon. "You may quote me as saying this, if you like, and I will
tell you why I will vote In compliance with the Mayor's message," continued Mr
Slgler. .
"The reason I voted for the ordinance in the first place was that I cbuld find
no prevision in It th-it prohibited the creation of an oil district In any other part
of Portland. -1 dtd not brireve that -the- Hast Side 'sTio'Uia "ilb'ne-''be encumbered "
with an oil district, and anyone studying the ordinance could not find that it so
ordained. The Mayor vetoed the, ordinance after, long and careful scrutiny and
did so. I believe, Justly."
"Will another ordinance be prepared, Mr. Slgler?"
"It is more than likely, but It will not be fur any one section of the-tsHy.
The" East Side people need not be alarmed, for the Common Council does not in
tend to discriminate against them."
LIQUOR LICENSE QUESTION.
An Important matter will come up at the Common Council meeting lata this
afternoon In the shape of the amended liquor license ordinance. The License Cora
mlttee labored long and diligently Monday and believed that document had beenl
perpared that would meet the approval of all the councilman. But there1 areroverai"
holes in the paper yet.
Chairman Slgler of the License Committee says: 'The .way we left the
druggist's clause, I believe, was a mistake. There are several drug stores within
400 yards of school houses and of course' they cannot be licensed. Again to tnz.
a small drug store $400 may not be wise because It seems to be taking advantage
of a trade that Is compelled to keep liquor In stock. It is different with grocery
concerns, because the proprietors need not keep liquor if they consider it will
not pay In view of the 4uo tax. An amendment will be Introduced exempting
drug store owners from taxation If they keep their liquors under cover and at all
times out of display. Big houses that make a display of lntozlcants will be com
pelled to pay the 1400 license fee."
Another feature of the liquor ordinance, not clearly understood. Is the taxation
of clubs. As the matter was left Monday afternoon It Is still within the dis
cretion of the License Committee, whether or not a club shall be taxed.
It Is believed that with the amendment, regulating the drug Stores, the ordi
nance will pass before the Council adjourns late this afternoon.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3 It Is believed

The members of the Manufac

that If no answer to their letter to

Portland and on the Lewis and
Clark Fair li received Within few
days they will punish him by en

they do this, but so far as lies In

The most interesting matter before thai

statements made to The Journal by Preslj ,

his recent visit to Portl&nd. In the course,
of which he took occasion to wantonl
attack the Lewis and Clark Fair. .
As has hitherto been published In The!';
Journal, a letter had been sent Mr. Melleii
by the association demanding an explana-4

was learned by the members that thai

It was also suggested that the directors
