BLOWN TO ATOMS.
A Michigan Powder Mill Explodes
and Kills a Man.
Marquette, April 23.—The An¬
thony Powder Company mill, one
and a half miles southwest of Negau-
ree, blew up at an early hour this
morning. Twenty minutes later a
second explosion occurred, supposed
to be one of the storage houses.
As no one was at the works but the
watchman, he is the only one killed-
The cause of the explosion is at*
tributed to a defective boiler and its
spread to the explosive material in
the storehouses.
The total amount of the wreck is
unobtainable, because people will
not approach tho spot, fearing an¬
other explosion. The shocks shat¬
tered glass along Iron street, in Ne-
gauree, and was plainly felt in Mar¬
quette, over twelve miles away.
A FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT.
A Pennsylvania Explosion Kills Thres

New Castle, Pa., April 23.— Three
men were instantly killed and six
others badly injured, by an explosion,
early this morning, at the JUtna mills.
Two of the injured will probably die.
The explosion was caused by the col¬
lapse of the flue end of the big boiler.
The explosion was terrific and the es¬
caping steam scorched everything
for some distance around.

STMDJSIDE,
For Agricultural Depression is
to be Regulated.
Secretary of Agriculture Rusk
Gives His Views.
Extensive Importation, and Resultant
Competition wlth .onr Own Farmers and
Their Products — protection for Farm
Prodnoe as Necessary as Protection for
Manufactures—Important Question.
Washington, April 28.—J, W. Rusk,
secretary of agriculture, In speaking of
the great depression ip agriculture at the
present time, says:
“Few people realize that our imports
of agricultural products, estimated at
prices equal paid by agricultural the consumer, are about
to our exports esti¬
mated at prices paid to the farmer ; yet
such is the case. Our imports of pro¬
ducts sold in competition with those
actually produced nearly on $115,000,000, our own soil now
amount to and as
much more could be produced on our
own soil under favorable conditions. We
must another surely conclude that we have here
ject is cause for that depression. The sub¬
so vast I cannot dismiss it
briefly.
“The establishment of our agricultu¬
ral experiment stations, the energetic
research by the department of agricul¬
ture into the resources of different sec¬
tions of this country, investigation of
their soils and climate, and the applica¬
tion, in general, of scientific principles
to agriculture, doubly ail combining, provided, make always, this
assurance sure,
that this diversification be encouraged
and fostered by the application of the
principle of of industries protection to the the develop¬
ment new on farm. It
is simply the extension to our agriculture
of the protection so beneficially extended
in the past to our manufacturing indus¬
tries. In the days when the fanners
were prosperous, when good crops were
accompanied with high prices, and the
value of agricultural land went up ac¬
cordingly, the fanners to a man stood by
the half principle of the of protection urged burden¬ on be¬
with manufacturers, who,
ed then the heavy load of taxation
imposed upon them by the civil war,
were threatened with grave disaster in
the face of European of the competition. Now
in the face severe competition
which to-day confronts the farmer in
foreign the markets, self-interest duty, fairness, demand; and in
should long run afford him benefits of that
we the a
home market for all that he may be able
to cludes produce all the on sugar our own and soil. molasses, This in¬ all
animal products, wool, bread silk, flax and
other fibres, all our stuffs, fruits,
hay, wines; hops, but rice, tobacco, of these vegetables things will ana
many
never, can never, be produced on Ameri¬
can soil in competition with the labor of
European in the nations, of especially the industry when, abroad as
case sugar,
has been helped by liberal government
bounties.
“Accompanying the this principle of pro¬
tection to American farmer is that of
reciprocity, which should invariably be
applied whenever that of protection is
relaxed. If there are products grown to
better mission advantage duty in other countries, re¬
of on which would seem to
be in the interest of a large portion of
our only population, be accorded such as the remission result of should recip¬
rocal concession in the way of a remis¬
sion of duties by such other countries on
products with other more readily products grown and here. whenever * * *
.So ;
duty on and such the products is lowered or re¬
moved, protection to our farmers
thus diminished, it should be as the price
of concessions made to us in the tariff of
other countries in favor of our own farm
products. In this way, and in this way
only, tected—new can our markets farmers being lie adequately pro¬
thus thrown
open to them for those products which
they “No can possible most easily relief and cheaply produce. them
can come to
or to the country ; no permanent remedy
for present ills is to be found in measures
which aye rather the outcome of resent ¬
ment than the product of reason. I
would say to the farmers, stand firm as
the everlasting hills in demanding what
is fringement right, and resisting rights any possible in¬ by
on your as citizens
any other cl ass or combination of people;
but beware lest, in your just eagerness to
secure your own rights, you seek to in¬
fringe upon the rights of others. No
measure that conflicts with the rights of
follow tWfiurs <>f th§ boomerangs
and return to injure the hand that shaped
it. On tne other .ii.ua let it be borne in
mind by all other classes of our citizens
that the present conditions demand con¬
sideration now, and that consideration
must be full and fair ail ; for the time being
it is paramount to other questions,
and, if necessary, every other inte re st
must be prepared looking to stand the aside in favor
of measures to relief of ag¬
ricultural depression.”

Mr. Vast In Opposition.
Mr. Vest, of Missouri, opposed ths
bill in a long and brilliant speech. He
dwelt upon the municipal contests over
the location of the fair and character
ized them as undignified and disgraceful.
Iu conclusion he declaraed that he
did not believe that the exposition
would ever be n success; it came too
soon after the Paris exposition, and in
his judgment the people outside of the
oities engaged in the contest did not
care anything about the exposition.
Had the time come, he asked, when the
people of this country had to be amused
in their condition of great jMsnnlary
distress, of unjust laws; and was the
United States to follow the example of
those old countries which provided
amusement for the people in the gladia¬
torial arena in order to prevent them
criticising the laws of the oountry?

Mr. thought the naval re¬
view would be a great benefit to ths

any way. The country would not bs
