San , Pedro, Gal. -- A terrible accident occurred on board the United States armored cruiser Ten­ nessee at 11:30 " o'clock Friday morning while the, ship was steam­ ing at 19 knots on a speed trial off Point Ruenene, Cal.. a steam pipe in the starboard engine room bursting under 235 pounds' pressure, killing four men and injuring ten others--all of the men in-the compart­ ment at tl^e time. The explosion, the cause of which is unknown, occurred only a few minutes after Admiral Uriel Sebree, Capt. F. B. Howard and Chief Engineer Robertson had left the engine room on a tour of inspection.

The tube, which is four inches In diameter and inclosed vHth water in­ side the boiler, blew out, driving-a torrent of scalding "steam, coal dust, cinders and hot ashes through the ash pit and showered, the half-naked men. A blast of white steam troin the venti­ lators told those on deck of the acci­ dent, and Lieut. Commander S."

Rear Admiral Sebree himself es­ caped death or serious, injury in the fated fire pit by a mere moment's time. He had left the room where the ex­ plosion occurred not 50 seconds! be­ fore the fatal blast. The admiral stood jn the engine room adjoining the fire room with Chief Engineer Robert­ son and Capt. Howard. His first in­ timation of the tragedy was as -he mounted the ladder and a half-naked fireman leaped past him suffering from severe scalds. When the smoke came from the Are room, the fire call was sounded and all the crew went to their stations in perfect order and in a few seconds ^15 to 20 lines of hose were ready to tul-n orf the fire. Several of the crew behaved with heroism and will be re­ ported to the department lAter.

Detroit, Mich.--Amid a tremendous din of whistles and saluting cannon, the new 444-foot Detroit & Cleveland line steamer City of Cleveland, the largest passenger craft on fresh wa­ ter, letft her dock Thursday afternoon on her first trip, carrying 500 mem­ bers of the-Detroit Board of com­ merce on a four days' excursion Sa^lt Ste. Marie. Paris.--Just at the close of the cere­ monies attending the interment of Emile Zola in the Pantheon Thursday, when the president of France, the premier and' a host of ministers of state were taking their departure, Louis Anthehne Gregori, a military writer of note, drew a revolver and fired two shpts point-blank at Maj. Alfred Dreyfps, for whose liberty Zola fought and won. Men distinguished Id all walks of life filled the Pantheon and when the shots rang out there was intense ex­ citement in fear that the president had been assassinated, but even the attempt on the life of Maj. Dreyfus created a profound impression. Sol­ diers speedily surrounded Gregori and he was taken to jail, bruised and bleeding, with his clothes almost torn from his back. The affuir has created a tremendous sensation in Paris and the motive of the would-be assassin is the cause of much mystification, for Gregori, in­ stead of being an ordinary fanatic, such as is carried away by the polit­ ical passions of the moment, Is a man of mature age, having been born in 1844, and was highly esteemed in the circles where he was known. Sonae do not hesitate to express the opinion that he may have been the tool of a little clan of Royalists, who, under the name of l'Action Francaise, have never ceased to Insist that the court of cassation illegally prevented an appeal of the Dreyfus case, nor abandoned hope of seeing a revision favorable to the contentions of the Nationalists. Maj. Dreyfus was not seriously In­ jured. A bullet entered his forearm, but did not injure the bone. At a late hour the official statement was made that his condition was very favorable and that no complications were feared. Gregori made a statement to the po­ lice directly after his arrest and dur­ ing a second interrogation Thursday night he said: "I did not wish to kill Dreyfus. It is true I aimed at him, but I only wanted to graze him. My object was tp protest against the par* ticipation of the^rmy in the glorifica­ tion of Zola and the rehabilitation of Dreyfus. My blow was aimed less at Dreyfus than at Dreyfusism." A curious feature <of the ceremonies in the Pantheon was the absence of many of the foreign ambassadors. It is understood that the Turkish ambas­ sador was the prime mover in the plan to induce the members of the diplomatic corps to abstain from going to the Pantheon. % CHURCH SET ON FIRE COOLNESS OF PRIESTS ALONK SAVES MANY FROM DEATH.

Annapolis, Md. -- In a head-on collision between special cars on the Washington, Baltimore & An­ napolis electric railroad shortly before oight o'clock Friday night, eight per­ sons were killed outright and a score of others were seriously injured, some of them perhaps fatally.

Washington. -- Important signifi­ cance in connection with President Roosevelt's determination against a third term Is contained in the admission made Frfday for the first time, that the president is mak­ ing definite plans to leave the United States in April next year for Africa, where he will pass a year hunting big game. Rumors that Mr. Roose­ velt was to leave the country at the conclusion of his term of office have been printed heretofore, but when confirmation was sought at the White House the answer has been that no definite conclusion had been reached as to the president's plans. But Friday It was stated positively that Mr. Roosevelt, with his son Ker- mit. would sail from New York, for Cairo in April, 1909--just as soon as the necessary arrangements for the departure could be made after March 4. It is the desire of the president to bring back at the end of the year from the wilds of Africa specimens of every species of big game to be had on the dark continent. He will visit no other country, it is stated.' . The outfit for the expeditio^ will be obtained on reaching Africa, but an active correspondence in this .con­ nection already is under way. The exact size of the hunting party-- number of guides and retainers, ani­ mals, etc.--has not been determined on. The president, however, will take with him an assortment of armswhifclfHft people from North Topeka Sunday he will require in the variety of hunting contemplated. This outfit will include, of course, guns of the highest power.
