VICTIMS OF EXPLOSION.
Three Men Were Killed and Five Otheri
Injured.
Kalama, Wash., June
24. Three
men were killed
and five others in-
premature ex olosion of
a blast on the Oregon & Washington
Railroad. The scene of the accident
was in a deep cut about half a mile
south of this place.
The cause of the explosion will per
haps never be known, as the men who
were working at the drill hole were
instantly killed. About 25 men were
working in the cut, and from the sur
vivors it was learned that two men
were loading a 12 foot drill hole with
No. 2 giant powder, and had put in
about 100 sticks. It is supposed
that they had just been tamping the
powder with an iron bar, as they had
sometimes done before, when the ex
plosion occurred.
Americans Invade the Rand.
London, June 25. The Johannes
burg correspondent of the Daily Mail
contributes a long letter to his paper,
in which he describes the American
trade inavsion of the Rand, aided, he
alleges, by British apathy. The cor
respondent asserts that Americans
are quietly buying up shares and
pushing their efforts in every direc
tion. He says that practically all
the mining machinery is already
American and refers to a rumor to
the effect that there is an American
movement to capture all the. poorer
Rand mines.

PORTLAND WILL CELEBRATE.

The enthusiasm which Portland ex

Dient of the president and party has
been bottled up and will be let loose
in the celebration of the Fourth of
July. While, the committee which
is engaged in' arranging for the cele

ia earnestly and energetically at work
on its plans, and will have several
very large surprises in store for Port
landers and visitors on Indeendencc
Day. The fact that cheap railroad
fares will be provided on all lines
into the city will doubtless prove an
incentive to many residents of the
neighboring cities to come in and
help celebrate, and they are promised
a reception which they will long re

will help to furnish the music, and
all societies of whatever character are
invited to take part in the parade.

tits in his district, the proceed
ings of surrender were orderly.

of CaPles' followers have approached
him with a proKaition that he issue

Valuables Smuggled Out of the Forbidden
City Sold to Foreigners.
Pekin. June 26. There has Iwn
no meeting of the ministers of the
foreign iowcr at Pekin since th first
of last week, but the ministers them
selves profess satisfaction at the
course of events. The Chinese forts
have not yet been destroyed. It has
been determined that each nation
shall destroy those forts now occupied
by its troops, but the ministers find
that the npoctive military command
ers object to destroying Chinese, fort
not occupied by their trooH. Cono
quently the ministers will probably
have to employ Chinese lalsir to effect
the destruction of the unoccupied forts
at the exiicnseof the different nations.
Many Chinese enuchs have been
selling valuables which have come
from the Forbidden City. Tl valu
ables thus sold were probably passed
over the walls of the city to the
enuchs confederates outside. One
beautifully carved table, which was
seen in the Forbidden City only two
weeks ago, has lccn sold by a enueh
for (X) taels. No valuables of any
kind havo Is-en taken out of the city
through the gates. These are guard
ed by American and Japanese troops.
It is estimated that the cost of retxiir
ing the palnce, independent of the
valuable works of art which are mbs
ing, will reach 250.OIX) tales.
Memliers of the staff of LI Hung
Chang and Prince Ching say that
great anxiety is felt regarding the
whcrealsjuts and safety of a large
quantity of gold that was buried in
the Forbidden City. Certain enuchs
who knew the secret of the location
of this gold have disappeared.
A Tien Tsln Anniversary.
Tien Tsin, Juno 25. The first an

FELL FROM A WINDOW.
Adelbert S. Nay Auldently Killed st New
Haven Son of Secretary of State.
New Haven, Conn., Juno 25.
Adelbert H. Hay, son of Secretary
Hay, and ex-consul to Pretoria, waa
found dead on tho sidewalk outside
the New Haven house early yesterday
morning.
Mr. Hay retired to his room at I
o'clock, after ssnding tho evening
with friends in apparently excellent
spirits. Alxmt 2:30 o'clock in the
morning a few people standing out
side the hotel were startled nt seeing
a large white object come whirling
through the air and strike tho side
walk. The night clerk of the hotel
was immediately summoned and rec
ognized the lMdy as that of a young
man who registered as Adellwrt S.
Hay.
There was considerable excitement
about the hotel, and a large Innly of
students and graduates, who aro hero
for the commencement exercises, soon
gathered. A number of his former
classmates at Yale positively identi
fied tho young man.
Dr. Bartlctt, tho medical exam
iner, stated that Mr. Hay came to his
death by an accident. The clothes
on the !ed had been turned, showing
his intention to go to bed. Ilia
clothes had lccn folded. On tho
ledge of the window was found a part
ly burned cigarette This discovery
leads to tho belief that Hay had light
ed a cigarette before retiring and had
went to the window to smoke it.
Whether ho was seized with a lit of
dizziness or fell asleep on the window
ledge cannot be determined. Thore
are no external injuries.
Mr. Hay graduated from Yale in
1808 and had cotno here to attend his
class triennial reunion. He was out
driving in tho evening with a party
of classmates and friends, and on re
turning to his room left word to bo
called at 0 o'clock next morning.
This was the last seen of him alive.

foreign powers at Pekin, with tho ex
ception of tho British minister, havo
agreed to tho Russian proposal to in
crease the Chincso tariff on imports to
10 per cent in the event of a deficien
cy in tho sorvice of tho indemnity.
Sir Ernest Satow declares that Great
Britain wi'l only ageor to such an in
crease in duty in return for tho total
abolition of tho liken' tax on inter
national commerce and other concessions,
