Uh:ago. April lb. Tbe re is not even a
gnesi as to when the House will proceed to
consider the resolution admitting Tennessee,
nor is it known that the committee have ma
lured any measure with regard to tbe late re
bellious States, in addition tothose already
reported. Tbe committee continue to exam
ine witnesses, and enough testimony has been
collected to make several ponderous volumes,
li is not all printed yet, though ordered to be.
.. Tbe Joint resolution protesting against tbe
pardouing criminals by foreign powers on
coudition that they emigrate to tbe United
States, passed both nouses, ana will be com
mitted to all foreign powers, altboogb par
ticularly called out by tbe action of the Swiss
government. -
Mr. Moolton, of Illinois, from the committee
on territories, reported a bill, appropriating
$10,000 for tbe survey ef tbe boundary be
tween Idaho and Oregon, which was referred
to tbe committee of tbe whole. .
San Francuco, April 17. Tbe great exposion
that occurred in the heart of the city yester
day afternoon and resulted In such terrible
destruction of life and property, continues to
'be the topic of conversation among our citi
zens, and has cast a gloom over the publio
mind such as has been produced by few
events since the foundation of tbe city.
Workmen have been employed in removing
the ruins In tbe vicinity of the explosion,
and searching for tbe bodies of tbe missing.
The work is now nearly completed and all
but one or two of those supposed to have
been tb victims of the accident have been
satisfactorily accounted for. The question
as to wbat caused the explosion and what it
was that exploded still remains without de
finite answer. Enough, however, has been.
ascertained to bx its connection beyond a
doubt with one of the two boxes that were
taken yesterday from the Pacific Mail Steam
ship dock to W. F. & Co.'s office, as men
tioned in last evening's dispatches.
The facts relative to these boxes are as
follows: In unloading the freight from the
steamer Sacramento, that arrived here on
Friday last two boxes were found in a dam
aged condition. They were eonsigned to
Wells, Fargo & Co., and one of them was
addressed to J. M. Moore, Idaho City, and
the other to W. H. Mills, Los Angeles. They
were shipped fiom New York, under the
ireneral term '-merchandise." Being dam'
aged, Wells,. Fargo Co. refused to accept
them from, the raclno Bieamenip uompany.
. until the extent of tbe damage wag ascer
tained, so that it might be known to whom
the resnonsibility, if any, should attach
For this purpose the boxes were placed in
the back yard to be examined.' Mr. Havens,
the froleht agent of the steamship company
was sent for to hold a survey of the damaged
merchandise, and he, together with Drank
WebBtor, one of the employees of Wells,
Eargo & Co., and one or two other persons,
proceeded to the back yard to make an ex
amination of the boxes. Tbe last that was
aeen of the party was by a man In the em
ploy of Mr. Bell, who says that there were
three or four men- standing around the box
havlnor in their hands-tools, suco as natebets
hammers.. chisels, etc. -The cover- e4 one of
tbe boxes be thinks had. been forced off be
foreJie left the .yard. I Soon" after leaving
he beard the explosion, and the reasonable
Inference is that it camo , from tbe box .that
wan undereoinir examination. ' This infer
ence is strengthened by the fact that Moms
Webster and Havens were alcaost blown to
atoms, and by the additional fact thatalUhe
' annnarances indicate., the explosion took
Bin at the precise soot where the boxes
' wm ntandjinc. The nest question that
rlona: what were the contents othe boxes
Until this morning it was supposed that the
. . .nnisnti of both boxes were tbe same. It
bag now been definitely asceitalned that they
were entirely different, ana me oozes prooa
My bad no connection with each other,-fur'
ther than tbe fact than they both happened
to be more or less damaged on tne pasvnge,
and were on that account ma-tie subjlect to a
survey before being accepted' by -the con
signees.
Among the ruins were found a number or
stiver spoons, copper silver ware, which
when found yesterday, were Bupposed to
have come from the'dirring room of the Union
Blub. On examination to-day they were
found to be all marked with tbe luitials J.
M. M., and were doubtless a portion of the
contents of the box, addressed to J. M. Moore,
Idaho City. Mr. Moore is now in New York,
aud shipped the box himself. He is said to
be a wealthy man residing In Idaho City,
This disposes of the Moore box, and renders
it almost certain that it was not the box that
exploded. Now as to the box addressed to
W. H. Mills, Los Ang)es. This was tin
doubtedly the box that Webster and Havens
were examining, and must bave been tue
one that exploded.
