The three dead bodies were taken to

avenue The troop and battery were in
charge of Captain Dodd ot the Seventh
oavalrj and were proceeding from the
Lake Front to new quarters at Hydo
Park At Oakwood and Grand
Boulevards the Hotchktss gun with its
caisson was in the rear of the command
when suddenly the ground shook with
a fearful explosion and a burst of
flame and smoke shot from the caisson
A storm ot bullets flew In every direc-
tion Windows were shattered for
blocks around and people walking on
the sidewalks were thrown down When
the smoke arose eight heavy artil-
lery horses were Ivlng dead on the
ground their carcasses nearly torn to
pieces All around lay dead and woun-
ded The home of Mrs Devlin at Oak
wood and Grand Boulevards was per-
forated by several bullets which passed
through the walls Glass was shattered
and wall and ornaments on the in-
terior were town and broken
The cause of the explosion is not
positively known It is supposed that
a fuse worked looe from one of the
cartridges and the powder ground be-
tween the brass shells 1q the caisson
Ignited and exploded the mass
The body of one of the artillerymen
who was riding on the caisson ot the
gun was literally Mown to pieces Por-
tions of hi body were picked up at
a distance of 200 yards from the scene
of the explosion
General Miles was not in his office
when the news of the explosion was
brought in over telephone His chief
of staff Captain Maus said MI have
Just heard of the explosion and that
three of the men were killed outright
and eight others wounded several of
them fatally and that six of the horses
were killed The battery was company

by Captain Vose The day following

the homo ot Maurice G Dodge 3925
Grand Boulevard the loss was about
700 mostly in Plate glass window
and wood work around the rooms The
house or F ii J 10 we at suji itrana
Boulevard was one of the buildings
mostly damaged His loss Is estimated
at 2000 The house of A Devlin at
3933 Orand Boulevard was damaged
about 1500 One of the iron i hells
struck tho balcony mils and lodged
there All the windows were blown
out and the glass scattered around
the rooms together with pieces nf the
gun carriage and surrounding streets
Gen Miles directed Capt Mlchler ord
Col Wllletson of the commissary de-
partment and a former commander of
the battery to go to tho scene nnd
secure a report of the affair On the
return of Col Wllletson he gave the
following erbal account of Mie avt
dent preparatory to writing his report
The commander under the escort
of the cavalry was talcing Its dally
march exercise The calBson consists
of a limber on whtch h a chest and the
carriage containing two chests more of
ammunition making three chests on
tho caisson The explosion oecrrred
in the chest of tho limber ond the force
of the explosion wasto the rear tearing
away the caisson and Igniting the pow-
dered In the other two chests Tho
first caisson carried 42 shrapnells and
four cartridges The sharapnells are
loaded percussion shells containing
fulinnlatea nnd small balls and are
fired from the cannon by a cartridge
containing as In this case 3 3 4 pounds
of powder My theory of the accident
Is that the screw plug at the base ot
one of the shrapnells became loosened
some ot the powder leaked out and
being ground and powdered by the
Jolting of the Umber Ignited the powr
der In the cartridges exploded and the
ignition of the cartridge in the other
tw o chests followed In the second
chest on the caisson were 28 time shells
sixteen shrapnells end their complement
of 44 cartridges The force of the ex-
plosion can be more readily understood
when it is remembered that the 132
cartridges contained 495 pounds of
powder The men who were In the
detachment said that they recognized
two distinct reports seemingly almost
simultaneous This was the limber
chest followed almost in the Instant
by the other two chests The rattle
of explosions that followed the great
detonation was the bursting of shrap
nells as they struck the ground The
men on the caisson were lifted by the
explosion while the horses were killed
by the missies from the shrapnells All
Of the 41 shrapnells In th limber chest
exploded while four of the sixteen In
the second chest wero found
loded None of the shell exploded
hey do not contain any fulminate and
are fired by a time fuse
l take no stock In the theory that
dynamite had anything to do with It
The greatest caution is Always taken
about the ammunition Each chest Is
locked by a Yale lock especially made
for the government There are no keys
In any battery that win unlockJtny but
the chest to which It belongs and I da
rot believe there is a key in Chicago
that will unlock any of our artillery
chests The ammunition is mott care-
fully packed under the supervision of
en offlcer Every day It Is examined
This chlsson was Inspected last even-
ing All the shrapnells were looked
after and the screw plugs examined and
trhtrne4 I hvn no recollection of a
tmllar accident in the United States
artillery and it Is tht first on on
so fax as I can lerirn The guns
were the new rifled field pieces recently
Introduced tnto tbe sen ice and have

tion Is a coupl of months old and had

WashlngtonJuly 3fi The Democrat-
ic members of the- conference commit-
tee adjourned earlier than usual today
and the situation at adjournment from
the best Information was that the
conferees were far from an agreement
and in a short time a disagreement
would bfl reported to the senate and
house The question which has been
agitating the members seems to be
Just what kind of a report to make
but the Impression seemed to be that it
would be of a general disagreement
with perhaps some of the main points
specified It had not been decided to
call In tho Republican members of the
conference when adjournment was
taken but It la HtbIo that the full
conference may meet tomorrow or next
day It was evident from what could
be learned that the meeting showed a
tendency to get farther apart than be
fore and the discussion ot the main qucs
ttons showed that there would have
to be Instructions from the respective
houses before the conferees would feel
warranted in including from tho posi-
tions they have taken from the first
When the conference adjourned one
ot the conferees summed up the situ-
ation as follows We have accom-
plished absolutely nothing today We
have not advanced an inch and after
being together all day we are exactly
where we were last Saturday1 night
There Is no truth whatever In the re-
port that we have reached an agree-
ment on sugar On the contrary no ar-
rangement is even in sight While
there has been talk of calling In tho
Republican members on some questions
et It has amounted to an agreement
up to the time of adjournment In fact
it seems impossible to reach agree-
ments on anything of Importance
Neither Is there any present prospect
that we would be nearer to pn agree-
ment at the end of the week than wo
are at the beginning
In such a case there will be nothing
J eft but to report a dlsagieement and
If each house Insists upon Its bill then
a further conference wtll be ordered
It Is stated that the Democratic mem-
bers of the conference committee du
not care to make a report until the
return of Speaker Crisp The Texas
and Louslana members Of tho house
who Intended to meet and take nctlon
against the continuation of the Ilawnt
ten treaty postponed the meeting until
tomorrow

president and the administration In
hu pressing lawlessness in connection
with the frtilkc It was adopted un-
der suspension ot the rules only thirty
eight minutes being nllowed for de-
bate Mr McCreary and Mr Catching
made short speeches in support of the
resolution and Mr Pence and Mr
Bland Indulged In some criticism of the
action of the administration but neither
was unduly severe The remainder ot
the day was spent In an effort to pass
the Bailey bankruptcy bill but al-
though It was engrossed and read a
third time tho quorum failed on the
final vote and the vote on the final
passage will be taken fjrst thing to-
morrow
At 6 G5 the house adjourned
The llalley bill Is purely a volun-
tary bankruptcy measure It la limited
in Its operations to two years Under
It property Is administered according
to stnte laws thus creating no ofllcers
or new machinery for its execution The
bill provides that If any debtor owing
200 or more shall execute an assign-
ment valid according to the laws of
the state In which ho resides and as
to his property situated elsewhere val-
id according to ft law of the place
where It Is located and also in ac-
cordance with 1U un requirements
which the bill Itself exacts are that
the assignment shall Include all of
the debtors property not exempt and
shall for the equal benefit ot all his
creditors without preference except for
debts due for labor and to tbe state
and general government It exempts
such property as may be exempt from
fcrced sales under the law of the debt-
ors domicile It further provides that
four months afterthe debtor has exe-
cuted his assignment he may file his
petition lit the federal court alleging
under oath a full compliance with the
law and praying to be discharged from
further liability ot his debts His
creditors are cited to appear and they

say how It occurred i The supposition
of a military man is that the friction
of the shelli in the caisson by a hard
jolt exploded a shell
Could It have been possible for any-
one to have placed dynamite in the
caisson T was asked
It could have been possible but
hardly probable The vigilance ot the
troops In the camp would render It
impossible for any evil minded person
to ha concealed anything in the
caisson especially heie In Chlcaco
where more than the usual diligence
has been observed by the troops
The caisson was blown to atoms not a
niece of it larger than a mans hand
being found The boulevard looked
like a battle Held There was a quick
norlea of exuloiilona after the first re
port and sharunel shot rained Ilka
hall among tho trees un the boulevard
and pitted the surrounding duellings
The concussion broke every window In
the houses for blocks away The walls
and roofs of the dwellings showed the
effect of the missies Unexploded shells
of the rear part of the caisson lay
strewn oxer the ground With the ex-
plosion came great uonfusion of the
troops and for a moment the men and
ofllcers seemed powerless to move To
this was added the fright of the oc-
cupants ot the surroundolng houses
who ran screaming from their dwell-
ings only to be sickened by the sight
in the street A still alarm of fire had
been turned In and with the depart-
ment came the stock jardtf police pt
trul wagon The wagon was sent back
tq the station and it returned with
twenty five men under command ot
Lieutenant Morrlssey He then tele-
phoned to Hde Park for reinforce-
ments and soon Captaiu Uullard ar-
rived with twenty five more men Later
Inspector Hunt and Fitipatrlck and
Lieutenant J3onfled arrived It was
some little time before the two dead
artillerymen could be found One ot
them was mangled beyond recogni-
tion but supposed to be Dojle had been
blown over a board sign twenty five

debtor has given anv preferences hy
assignment or otherwise or thai ho
has done anthmtr to prevent a fair
and equal division of his property pro
rata among his creditors or that he
has attempted to defraud his debtors
then the court must refuse to discharge
him The bill further provides that if
an attachment has been levied the
debtor can execute nn assignment
which shall vacate the attachment and
he will then be entitled to the benefit
ot the law If the attachment Is col-
lusive and the debtor permits It to
stand he declares himself ot a re-

attachment on the ground ot fraud

by a rising vote with no records uf

Washington July 10 The tecelpts

thlu time It Is estimated that there are
In bond about 120000000 gallons of all
