THEORIES OF ACCIDENT.

A;iiliiKt the Accident 'llieory.
While the Oregonian believes that the
destruction of the Maine was due to ac
cident, it presents these considerations,
said to emanate from naval experts, why
it probably was so :
Only one battery of boilers was in use
and that at such a low pressure that no
explosion could have occured. A eingle
"doukey" engine suliiced to make all
necessary light.
There could hardly have been any
spontaneous explosion in the magazine.
Each charge of ammunition was kept in
a hermetically sealed canister and chom-
icaf changes could not ell'ect it.
Torpedoes stored in the forward deck
could not explode, as thev were kept
. , ...l .... n.i- .:i ' y
puCKttu in a perieci sum coiiuiiiuu until
prepared for use. A lire suflieieut to
beat them to tho firing point would havu
lirst charred the men sleeping over the
the torpedo magiziiio.
No lamps were used, lubricating oil is
not explosive and mutches that can only
bo Ignited on the box were used, hence
there could have been no oil explosion or
carlessness in the use of mutches.
Spontaneous combustion In the coal
box would have generated so much odor
that attention would have been directed
immediately und the bunkers Hooded.

Winter Spray for San .lose Scale
and Cntl Leaf of tin! Peach.
INGREDIENTS.
Mine, unslnckol ,K1 pounds
Sulphur, powdered 2i) pounds
Hilt, l.lvcrtfol 1.1 pounds
The above is a very ellioient remedy
for the San .lose Scale and Curl Leaf of
the Peach, and is an exrcllcnt fertilizer
for the trees. It not only destroys the
scale and prevents the spread of the curl
eaf, but removes all lichens and keeps
the bark soft.
In the case of curl leaf, the greatest
good will result from the early pprnying,
ns it prevents to a large degree the dor
mant spores of this parasitic fungus
coming to life, and destroys any that
may have started.
DlKKtTlONS.
To be most successful, this spray
should be applied just before the buds
swell in tin- spring. It can be used at
this time strongt-r tiiMti lalor, and should
be thrown upon the tiers hen it is
warm.
Use for winter epraying, one pound to
two gallons of water; for summer work
use one pound to two gallons of water.

could not penetrate the solid steel plateB,
with ilemetically sealed doors, without
first burning the men aboard and no one
was handling cartridges at the time.
Even if a cartridge bad been dropped,
the primer cap is sunk below the level
of the cartridge face and could not have
exploded.
All the rapid fire ammunition was se
curely Etored in boxes and could not get
adrift, especially in a dead calm, while
the vessel was riding at anchor.
No electric wires run into the maga
zine. JNo explosion trom crosseu wires
could have occurred.- Had the maga
zine exploded, the deck would have been
blown into the air, hundreds of shells
would have gone skyward, and in burst
ing destroyed part of Havana and the
vessel would have sunk at once.
The eepaiation of the nitroglycerine in
the gun cotton was impossible under the
conditions prevailing, and this compo3i-
tiou is so carefully made and thoroughly
tested that tliere is no record of its spon
taneous explosion during its long use in
the navy.
These are the theories urged against
accident. And yet. maugre all theories,
accidents occur, and nobody knows how.
NEWS NOTES.
The senate yesterday resumed debate
on the case of H. W. Corbett, claiming a
senatorship from Oregon. Teller favored
the resolution presented by thu'majority
of the committee against seating Mr.
Corbett.
The officers of the Newport News ship
yard announce that the double launch
ing of the battlethips Kentucky and
Kearsarge will take place March 24th,
and will bo the first double launching of
first-class battleships in the world.
The picking, drying and steaming
warehouses of tlio National Tobacco
Company, situated at Twenty-fourth
and Maine streets, Louisville, Ky., was
totally destroyed by fire yesterday morn
ing. The loss will amount to $1,000,000,
fully covered by insurance. ,
A dispatch from Havana says: "In
the uncertainty of tho relations with the
United States, tho importance of tho
recent action of the autonomist party is
overlooked. Its central committee has
formally approved tho plan, which is a
confession of the failure of the present
scheme of autonomy and an ofler to tjiu
insurgents to ccneede eveiything except
I tho withdrawal of tho Spanish flag.
I The cabinet yesterday difcussed the
Maine's disaster : but no dtcision has
et been reached. Almost general ex
pression prevails in congress that Spain
will be forced to give complete satisfac
tion for the lots of the Maine if it is
found that she was destioyed by tiny
other cause than accident. Extensive
preparations for war uie being made,
und big battleships are coaling for a two
months elt'go. The cruiser Montgomery
has been sent to Havana.
