The giant blast killed six persona, injured a baud red others and seriously' damaged all the property reached by the flying debris and the vibration of the shock. The irregular square formed by the Murray Hill hotel on the went, the, Manhatten eye and ear hospital and the Grand Union hotel on tbe east. and the Grand Central station on the north was the scene of the explosion. The buildings named sustained the greet est damage, but the area extended for several blocks in the four directions from the center. The killed are: Cyrus Adams, cigar man at the Murray Bill hotel. James Carr, 32 years old, a waiter employed at the Murray Hill hotel. Lawrence Hine, 20 years old, of Ausonia, Conn. J. Roderick Robertson of Nelson, H. C., a guest at the Murray Hill hotel. John II.

He was general manager in Canada for the British Columbia Gold Fields company, limited and a prominent citizen in the community where he lived. He waa a Scotchman and leaves a widow and four children. The sunken approach to tlie street railway tunnel used by the Madison lines cuts through lsrk avenne, and tlie shaft of the Rapid Transit subway waa run down beside it at tbe intersection of East Fourth street. The street railway approach was housed over with a superstructure used fur the operating plant of the Rapid Transit contractors. Temporary buildings for storage purposes were thrown up The1 reserve f ('imgrcmi posed to. Irrigation Maaaura. The Irrigation bill is likely to meet with stubborn opposition from the east. Representative Mondell, of Wyoming in an Interview Saturday, said: The bill lies been referred to tbe committee on irrigation in the house, and a request has been made to the chairman tbat the committee lie called to meet in the near future. However, I must say the chairman seems inclined to bold off on the matter. When asked as to whether he thought there would be any serious opposieiou from the east to a government-aide- d irrigation enterprise, he said: Yes, I think there will be considerable opposition from the east to this mrasnre, but it will be ontof a narrow and selfish spirit The people of the eastiseem afraid that a project looking to the irrigation of arid lands of the west will bring larger competition with the farmers of the east, but it U a mistake. The products of these irrigated lands will not be of such a character aa to come into competition with the products of the eastern farmer. We hope to be able to get the bill through the present congress without much trouble, although we expect to encounter some opposition from the east for tlie reason stated. FaUrp Member lUiYYL EXPLOSION . Porto Rico Counterfeiter Captured. The United States Marshal of Porto Rico, seized 83,000 in counterfeit silver near Ponce, Saturday. The counterfeits were quarters, and dollar. The men, Ramon Kentas and Moreno Lotiz, were arhalf-dolla- rested and sent to jail, after a hearing before the United States commissioner. The coins were almost perfect. Judge William Holt of the United States District court, sitting in Ponce, sentenced Gaston Saiivelerro, a Frenchman, to ten years imprisonment and 83,000 fine for having been found in possession of and for passiug spurious coins. Sauvelerro had 800 in counterfeit money in his possession when arrested. It is now believed he was one of another gang of counterfeiters. It is not known where Sauvelerro coined the money found in his possession. Placer (iulil Found la Denver.
