Italian Capital Shaken by a h‘i'iglitl'ul Explosion. 250 TONS OF POWDER GO UP Five Killed and Over 11. Hundred In- jured—The Cupolu. on the House of Parliament Collapsed and the Vati- can Injured—Forty Houses in Ruins. ROME. April 24.—At about 7 O’clock Thursday morning a tremendous explo- sion shook this city to its foundation, spreading terror and dismay on all sides. The people rushed affrighted from their homes into the streets, houses rocked, pictures fell from the walls, thousands ol panes of glass were broken everywhere, crockery was shattered, furniture was overturned, chimneys crashed down on 'the roofs, and, in some instances, toppled over into the streets below. The cupola 01 the houses of parliament, immediately after) the explosion, shook violently and their collapsed with a crash, which added still further to the general fear. A “’ild Spectacle. ‘ The scenes in the streets and in the houses after the explosion have possibly never before been equaled in the history 01 modern Rome. All the thoroughfares were strewn with bricks, stones, splinters and other debris. People of all ages and conditions were rushing, pale with fear, about the streets. In the houses doors, windows and cupboards were burst open, and the tables, chairs and other pieces 01 furniture were thrown crashing to the floor. walls, the plaster fell from the ceilings and general desolation prevailed. In many instances people were thrown from their beds by the shock, and cries filled the air as thousands of families rushed out into the streets, many of them in their night dresses. The general opinion was that Rome had been visited by an earthquake shock and that a second shock might reduce the city to ruins. Many fell on their knees and prayed aloud. A Narrow Escape for the Soldiers. Finally, when something like order had been restored, the real cause of the explo sion became known. It was discovered that the immense powder magazine at Pozzo Pantaleo, four kilometers from here, had exploded, and that it had caused enormous damage to the neighboring fort, which was filled with soldiers. The reports of the affair which have reached here add that happily the officer in command of the fort heard a rumbling sound previous to the explosion. and hasti- ly ordering the soldiers to leave the fort he succeeded in averting a terrible disas- ter. As it was, several peasants who were in the vicinity of the scene of the explosion were killed outright, and a number of oth- ers received more or less serious injury. The Iiing on the Scene. King Humbert, accompanied by Premier Rudini and every member of the cabinet, went to the scene of the disaster. The ap- pearance of the king in the streets on his way to Pozzo Pantaleo excited the utmost enthusiasm among the people who still thronged the thoroughfares, and exerted a decided influence in reassuring the timid. When King Humbert was seen returning from the wreck conveying some of the wounded to the hospital in his own car- riage he was given an ovation all along the line of his progress. Around the ruins of the powder maga- zinc and of the fort a cordon of troops was drawn, in order to keep back the crowds of people who flocked to Pozzo Pantaleo eager to see the powder blackened ruins. The troops, however, have instructions not to allow any civilians to pass through the cordon until the official investigation now being made has been completed. All the houses within a. radius of a. kilo- meter of the scene of the explosion are seriously damaged. Two officers were dangerously wounded and fully 120 civil- ians have been taken to the different hos- pitals suffering from wounds or bruises. The races, including the Italian Derby, which were to have been run Thursday afternoon, were postponed on account of the explosion. Didn’t Spare the Vatican. The shock did not spare the Vatican. That venerated pile shook with the rest of the Roman buildings, and several of the famous historical stained glass windows of the old buildings were shattered. The windows in the ancient Raphael chambers, and the stained glass in the royal staircase, presented to Pope Pius IX by the king of Bavaria, were seriously injured. The full amount of damage done is not known at present, but all accounts agree that the loss is very severe, the interiors 01 many of the old palaces and churches hav- ing suffered to a greater or lesser extent. The exact number of killed and wounded is also unknown. Another report says that five people have been killed in addition to the large number of wounded already mentioned, and that forty small houses were reduced to heaps of ruins. It has been ascertained that the maga- zine contained 250 tons of powder. The Liberals in Power. HALIFAX, April %.——-The Liberal opposi- tion has succeeded in forming a govern. ment in Prince Edward. Island as follows: Premier and attorney general, Frederick Peters; commissioner of public works, James R. McLean; provincial secretary and commissioner of crown lands, Angus McMillan. The members without port- folios are the Hons. Peter Sinclair, Alex- ander Laird, James Richards, Lawrence Kickham and Donald Farquharson. This is the first time in fourteen years that the Liberals have been in power in Prince Ed- ward l'sland. H. C. McDonald, member for Belfast, will be speaker of the house. He Settled a Mad Dog. Cmcaco, April 24.—orricer R thighs killed a mad dog here after the animal had bitten a number of other dogs in the vicin- ity. The dog rushed across Clark street, snapping and foaming at the mouth, and attempted to seize the policeman by the leg. ’ The officer jumped into the air and came down upon the dog’s head, and be- fore the animal could rise be seized it by the hind legs and dashed its brains out on a curb stone. 1111's.

He Holds Forth on Finances, Crops, Railroads and l’oliti s. OUR FINANCIAL CONDITION. The Fiscal Status of the United States, According to the Great Financier, Is Better Than That of Any Other Country in the \Vorld. CHICAGO, April 24.—Jay Gould and party arrived in Chicago yesterday afternoon and at once started for the east. While waiting in the depot Jay Gould was vis- ited by President Mauve], of the Atchison, and many other prominent railroad 0111- 013.15. “To my mind,” said Gould to a reporter Whom he permitted to board his train at Clinton, “the financial condition of the United States is better than that of any other country in the world. While we are exporting gold just now, that is only a natural operation at this season of the year. The gold now goin g abroad will give great relief in Europe. Later it will come back to purchase our securities at a great deal higher price than they bring at present. _ “I have never seen so promising an out- look for crops as on this trip. My last or- der before leaving Omaha was to have every engine and car on the Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific systems ready for service by Aug. 1, ‘ as from that time on these two roads will have more than they can do to handle the traffic which will be offered. The g e n eral railroad situation 1 o o k 5 well. Legislation which seemed to be threatening has passed away. The ' -. interstate c o m- merce law has , _ done a great deal ' of good and much JAY GOULD. evil. The worst evil results where the commission undertakes to make rates and to control great systems of roads. “The subject is too vast for any commis- sioners to acquaint themselves with. Rail- road managers have made it a life study to develop their railroads. Their prosperity depends on this development, and they are naturally anxious to build up their towns. An ironclad commission sitting in a dis- tant city cannot do justice to the case, however good its intentions may be. How to Protect \Veak Roads. “ he long and short haul clause of the interstate law is one of its objectionable features. Another objection to the law, as it stands, seems to be that it is in the interest of strong roads. There should be a provision by which each road could se- cure its share of the business. “The protection of the weaker roads can be accomplished by pooling under govern- ment supervision. I think, however, the Western Trafl‘ic association can legally se- cure diversions of business where freight originates, thus reaching the same end in a simpler Way. “As to the \Vestern Traffic association, I am heartily in favor of its plan and pur- pose. I hope the commission will be able at the meeting of the advisory board, on May 6, to report on a plan for routing com- petitive traffic. I also hope they will have control of the out-side agencies of the com- panies in the association. “Regarding the charges of rate cutting, I don’t understand that the Missouri Pacific cut rates any lower than did other roads. It was necessary to meet competition at once to protect its traffic. Now, as to my absence from the meeting of the advisory board in Chicago, I simply could not come. “I had ' only three weeks in which to make my trip—~which was of great impor- tance—and get back to New York on still further important business. The charge is that I would not come to Chicago be- cause I did not want the meetings held. This is ridiculous. About Politics. “I shall attend the next meeting in Chi- cago, and both Mr. Clark and myself will attend the meeting in New York on May 6. I deplore the Denver incident, for which I am not to blame. The language I am credited with having used in regard to President Manvel, of the Atchison, and President Cable was not genuine, and I could not be guilty of such a statement. I have a high regard for both gentlemen. “The close traffic contest between the Union Pacific and the Chicago and North- western will continue. There is no truth in the statement that the Union Pacific is diverting business from the Chicago and Northwestern to the Missouri Pacific. The relations between the Union Pacific and the Chicago and Northwestern are most harmonious. The alliance could not be broken, even if either side desired it, with- out mutual consent. ' ’ “About politics? Well, I think the ad- ministration is doing as well as could be expected. If the people are making money there will be reluctance to change the politics of the administration at the next election. The Cleveland administration was very conservative, and the Democrats have a good record on which to go before the country. Mr. Blaine has a. large fol- lowing, but I hardly think he will be nom- inated to succeed Mr. Harrison.” BRIEF MENTION. Father Ignatius, the Anglican monk, has received word that his flock of monks and nuns at Llanthony Abbey, in Wales, have deserted to the Roman Catholic church. - A committee from the Dairymen’s Na- tional Protective association called on See— retary Foster, in \Vashington, and pre- ferred charges against the collector of internal revenue of Philadelphia and his assistants for laxity of duty in the non- enforcement of the law as against the sale of oleomai‘garine. Max Hunger, aged thirty-five, a German, shot his former sweetheart, Martha Mar- gawsky, aged twenty-three, seriously wounding her, and then committed sui- cide, in Newark. They had been sepa- rated by the girl’s parents. Emperor William of Germany is strengthening his forces on the Silesian frontier, and it is believed that the Euro- pean war will be precipitated by Russia attacking lulgaria. According to the reports of the anti-Par- nellite members of parliament who have canvassed the whole of Ireland, the next general election will result in giving the MchrtIryitcs seventy-two seats, the Par- irellites nine and the Unionists twenty, two. .
