TERRIFIC EXPLOSION IN WOOLWICH FACTORY This Morning Wrecked Five Buildings and Killed Fourteen Employes —Others Injured. London, June 18—There was a ter rific explosion in a Woolwich factory this morning. Five buildings were completely wrecked. Reports conflict as to the number of casualties hut a conservative estimate places the dead at 14 and the injured at 13. Those killed were blown to atoms and their remains are unrecognizable inasmuch as the fragments were so small that they were gathered up in buckets. There were pathetic scenes around the wrecked buildings, the families of the killed standing around the ruins weeping. Decorah, la..

Interest Centers in Approaching Har- vest of This Year's Crop, Which Will Be Late. Local wheat dealers report abso lutely nothing doing in wheat circles, all interest centering in the harvest ing of this year's crop. Quotations range about the same as they were iast week, 60 lor club and from 68 to 70 cents for bluestem. The Commer cial Review of Portland this week There is nothing doing in the local wheat trade. Buyers are more nu merous than sellers, the latter having the best of the situation, as stocks are becoming quite low in the coun try, but at tide water there is plenty of wheat for early loading next ser son, and to finish this month. Ex porters are paying more attention to the growing crops than to buying wheat at present. For a time last week it looked as if we were to re ceive a decided setback on account of the hot winds ami lack of rain, but the splendid rain of the latter part of the week, that was quite gen eral throughout the wheat belt were timely. In some parts the rain came just in the nick of time, as a few days more of hot. dry weather would have caused serious loss. There is no doubt that crops were benefited fully 50 per cent. Quotations are without change and 75c is offered for (dub with two cents more for bluestem. and 76c per bushel for valley. Flour —Market is somewhat firmer the past week as offers are coming in quite freely lor early loading and this month and a good part of the next month will be record-breakers in the way of shipments to the Orient, most ly to Japan, where all the demand at present exists.

June IS.—The copying of Bristow's report on the postoffice investigation has been com pleted. It make* fifty pages of solid typewritten! matter.

Postmaster Gen eral Payne declined to discuss it. but it is understood that many of Tulloeh's allegations against the ad ministration of the former Postmaster General Emory Smith are sustained. THE EVENING STATESMAN, THURSDAY, JUNE 18. 1903. A 2 TO 0 GAME MIXED TEAM HAD A HARD TIME DEFEATING SQUADRONS YESTERDAY. Hits Were Few and Far Between Guartet of Pitchers Were Called on to Do the Work. I The fan who stayed away from the game yesterday between a team com posed of players of the late Inland Empire league and the Squadron team from Fort Walla Walla missed a rare baseball treat, the mixed team just winning out from the colored boys by a scratch. The score was 2 to 0 and the victory was due to Brown's error on third in missing a thrown ball in an endeavor to catch Stoval. who was making a steal to third and Titus' lucky hit into the right garden, which should have been gobbled up by Bowen. The colored troopers had six errors charged up against them in the "dope" book but only two figured in the results. The mhxed team played errorless ball except for Hogan's muf fing a low fly in (enter. Both teams used a brace of pitchers and the kind of ball the quartet pitched may be seen at a glance at the hit column, which records but four for the two teams. Golden was the only one on the squadron team to get a hit. but it was a daisy two-sacker into center garden. The three hits credited to the mixed team were made in the fourth off Tinsley who was relieved by "Chicken" Allen in the fifth, who pitched phenomenal ball the remainder of the game. The score follows: Walla Walla. AH R II! PO A E Longhead, c 3 0 0 7 2 0 Bruyette, ss 4 0 0 1 3 0 Edwards.

MISS STEWART QUITS BUSINESS. Newport, R. 1.. June is.—The story of .Miss Bessie Stewart's storekeeping was brought to a close today when the store formerly conducted by her was put up for sale by the sheriff to satisfy a judgment. 'Miss Stewart." as she is known, is the only daughter of United States Senator Stewart of Nevada, who was at one tone a millionaire, but who lost a considerable portion of his for tune through the low price of silver. She was married when quite young to Lieutenant Hooker of the navy, but secured a divorce. She received per mission to resume her maiden name. For several seasons she has con ducted a woman's furnishing store in the Berkley, near the Casino. Society appr eiating Miss Stewart's efforts to make a living, was a liberal patron, bui not sufficiently so to enable her to make more than the actual expen ses of the establishment. The busi ness went from bad to worse, and. al though not pressed for rent. Miss Stewart abandoned the store. Mrs. Stewart is now living in Wash ington with a married daughter.

Gordon may be sorry that he >aid a word when Judge Richardson gave him an opportunity this morning before sentencing him on conviction of burglar... says last night's Spo kane Chronicle. Gordon was arrested while attempt ing to dispose of some surgical tools a short time ago. and as the office of Dr. A. P. Johnson had been entered during his absence and a quantity of tools taken, it was naturally thought Gordon was the guilty party. Hej pleaded not guilty in the superior court and had a trial, the jury return inga verdict of guilty with but iitttle delay. This morning Gordon was arraign ed for sentence, and when Judge Richardson asked him if he had any thing to say why sentence should not now be pronounced, he took occasion to relieve his mind in an emphatic manner. He said lie was not guilty of the crime, even if the jury had said he was. He knew he could not be guilty of such a crime; it was against his principles, and if anything of the kind had occurred it was at a time when he was so greatly under the in fluence of liquor that he was not re sponsible for his acts. At the conclusion of Gordon's plea Judge Richardson quietly] remarked: '"The sentence of the court is that you be confined in the state prison at Walla Walla for a period of four years and that you pay the costs of the prosecution." INCREASE IN POPULATION. Colfax—County Assessor Duff has just received the last of the reports from his field deputies and the office force is now busily engaged in footing up the totals and preparing the tax rolls for the board of equalization which meets in August. The field deputies took a complete and careful census of each precinct while making tin assessment and the totals in this department have been footed and show that the county now has a popu lation of 29.218, an increase of 3,858 over the population in 1900 when the federal census was taken. The bulk of the increase has been in the towns, nine of tiie principal incorporated towiis showing a net increase of 2,506, leaving the increase for the rural districts, for the three years. 1,352. Full., two-thirds of this rural in. —Polonium, the new element, which was exploited in a series of most interesting exper iments by Professor W. Markwald before the Chemical congress in Ber lin, is really the discovery of Mine. Currie, a Polish woman, who. with her husband, gave radium to the world. She is recognized as among the truly great pioneers of chemistry. Scientists understand too litttle of; the marvelous properties of this new element to venture more than vague predictions of what sphere of future usefulness it niay fill, but it is not improbable that it may be found to perform the present functions of the so-called Roentgen or X-rays far more powerfully and without the cumbrous apparatus now essential to, their use. By use of polonium the blind, it is believed, may be made to see. In a TEETH FILLED I IN A LASTING i MANNER I I 1 M

WEATHER. Tonight and Friday fair; warmer Friday. FAIRLY CAUGHT AT FAKING The morning paper in a weak, half hearted way still tries to make its readers believe that its staff corre spondent reached Heppner Monday night. It admits that Mr. Cookerly saw ('.din Dynaent and a man who an swered the description of A. M. Snyder, the Spokesman-Review correspondent, at Lexington Tues day night but denies that he knew whether they were going to Heppner or coming back to file their dispatches. What Mr. Cookerly stat ed was that he "met" Dyment and another gentleman answering the description of Snyder at Lexington as he was returning to Walla Walla. He did not say si»oke to them. However, there is other evidence. Mr Dyment's story of Tuesday night gives interviews with the three mem bers of the Walla Walla relief com mittee whom lie met at lone. 17 miles from Heppner on their way home. This was before lie met Mr. Cookerly at. Lexington eight miles nearer to Heppner. It is plain that if dispatches could be filed at Lexington the cor respondents would not have gone to lone for the same purpose. The proof is overwhelming that they were on their way to Heppner Tuesday night, j having failed t reach that point by team from Pendleton Monday night Owing to a wind and rain storm of great violence in the vicinity of Mc- Kay creek, a few miles from Pendle ton. At lone they met Messrs. Blandford. McLean and Kidwell and from them and from others who had been to Heppner tiny got their story of the conditions in the stricken city. They did net reach Heppner until 'some time between 10 o'clock Tuesday night and daylight Wednesday morning. Another proof of this is given in the first ieal dispatch sent by the cor respondent from Heppner, which ap peared in the Union this morning. In this story the correspondent .goes back to describe what occurred the night before--"last night—which he would not have .'.one if he had been on tile ground the night before. The Union has been fairly caught in its transparent attempt to fake dis patches and the le>s it says in denial the better for its reputation as a re liable newsgatherer. The Heppner disaster occurred shortly after 5 O'clock Sunday evening and the Un ion's correspondent reached the scene of the disaster early Wednesday morning. It was a great piece of newspaper enterprise and n 0 mistake. BRISTOW SUSTAINS TULLOCH. The report of Fourth Assistant Post master General Bristow on the charges made by Seymour W. Tulloch. former cashier of the Washington. D. C, post office, practically sustains those charges. In commenting upon Bris tows report Postmaster General Payne endeavors to cover up the ugli- li° n T c WATCHES La dies Martin Jewelry Co. ness of the scandal by saying that its effect would be to cast reflections upon the administration of the late Presi dent McKinley and upon former Post master General Smith, "who carried out McKinley's policy." Payne does not wish to have the facts about form er corruption revealed. He says: ■With regard to the present man agement of the Washington postoffice and the conduct of any and all men charged with wrongdoing who have been in the postal service under the present administration, a thorough and •searching investigation is now be ing made, and when it is ended all the facts in the case will be made public." This is a frank declaration that any crookedness in the postal service un der the McKinley administration will be kept dark out of respect for the memory of the martyred president. This will be welcome news to Mark Hanna. Perry Heath and other repub lican politicians who have made of the postoffice department a huge political machine to provide soft berths for their adherents and to furnish cam- I paign fun.ls in times of need. Mr. Bristow's report shows that the c harges of corruption reach high offi cials under the McKinley administra tion, and that when inspectors called I attention to gross irregularities ex isting under the sanction of high de partment officials. Postmaster Gen oral Smith refused to make an inves- I ligation. Among other corrupt practices it is I shown that favored employes in some I cases were paid double salaries and |in some instances persons were car ried on the rolls long after they had i ceased to perform any service. No i doubt these abuses were due to pollt ical pulls and to the influence of Mark Hanna. chairman of the republican national committee, and !of Terry Heath, secretary of that com mitttee. The same influences were j responsible for the crooked work of Neely«and Rathbone in Cuba. I It is plain that the whole postal sys tent is honeycombed with corruption las the result of making it a part of j a great political machine. The ap pointment of Payne, another member of the republican national committee, as postmaster general, was in line j with the same policy and it is likely to prove the greatest mistake of the Roosevelt administration. Already j the confidential secretary of the post-j master general is under suspicion, being charged with having shared i with Machen the profits from grafts! on contracts and the money extorted from employes for worthless mining j stock. The American people have a great j I deal of faith in the sturdy honesty and resolute moral courage of Theodore Roosevelt, and they will lie greatly disappointed if he does not insist upon a complete investigation of all corrup tion in the postal service even if it does reflect upon a former administra tion. "Let no guilty man escape," and "turn the rescals out." NOT ALL HEROES. The preacher who told a reporter that In- drove away from Heppner with Mr. Avers' team just as the wall of water came rushing upon the ill-fated town and that he did not turn back, knowing that he could do no good, must be a queer sort of a man. One would think that by going back he might have saved some of the drown ing people or given aid anil comfort to the grief-Stricken survivors. Pos sibly he might have rendered aid to the Avers family whose team he was driving off while they were carried away on the roof of their house in the flood. There were some heroes at Heppner on that fatal Sunday eve ning, but the preacher does not seem to have been one of them. In his eag erness to save his own precious life he forget the scriptural exclamation. "What greater love can one man have for another than this, that h e will give his own life to save the life of his friend?" GRAFTS IN POSTAL SERVICE. F; m a government official who las in n intimately associated with tin pr good in elevating public morals, than can most clergymen. They are the ones who are exposing crime, holding principle sacred and living up to their oaths of office. Rut there are over-many public officials who are capable but unscrupulous and others who are scrupulous but in-[ capable. Young men of ability, who aspire to be useful, and older men of ability j and integrity and competence, who, could lie useful, should take interest! in public affairs and do something bern ficial for themselves and their fellow-men. If they will go into the open and become leaders, their work i will have en,luring results. The administration of government is no' too difficult: nor is tin system' unknown to the average citizen.! There are good., practical men. who/ could, if they would, administer pub lic business better than the profes sional politician. Yet the unpractical good man is as much to be feared as j the able but unscrupulous man. Representative men should, more than ever, he active in public affairs. They should run for office; they should vote at the primaries and at elections; the., should work up senti ment in their wards and districts. Pub lic office has its unpleasant features, hut it has also advantages not to be despised, ami it surely has duties which appeal to every upright citizen. No doubt Frank S. Dement took this view of the duties of a citizen when j he consented to enter the race fori mayor of this city against the machine candidate.
