An ex plosion occurred today at the resi dence of Premier Stolypin while a reception was being held there. The premier is reported to have been killed. A later report says that the pre mir Ik safe Manv nersons were killod or wounded at the time of the explosion. The son of the premier was among those who were wounded. Four .revolutionists arrived at M. Stolypin's villa on Aptekarsky Is land at 3:20 p. m. today in a coach. Two of them were dressed in the uni forms of officers of gendarmes. The third was dressed as a driver and was on the box of the coach; and the fourth man was in private clothes. The Bomb Thrown. Two of the men entered the villa under the pretext of making an im portant report to the premier, but they were not permitted to enter his office. One of the men threw a bomb into the reception room and a ter rible explosion followed. The house was nearly destroyed, and the man who threw the bomb was killed, but the premier, who was hio nftw was not injured. His daughter is said to have had both her legs broken, and the premier's three year old son was severely wounded. Fremen who arrived on the scene immediately after the explosion found a horrible scene. Many muti lated corpses and a large number of wounded and lacerated persons were lying around the spot where the bomb exploded. About fifty persons were killed or wounded. General Among Killed. Among those killed were General Zameatln, who during the war with Japan was chief of colimunicatttns.

Personal Stein, who was chief of police at the Taurida Palace, where the lower house of parliament held its sessions, was also killed. The two revolutionists, or least one; of them, appear to have been able to enter the room occupied by the pre- mier s secretaries, dui were uui to enter the premier's private office, whereupon one of the men hurled a bomb at the wall separating the sec rctary'8 room from the minister's private office, resulting in the revo lutionist helng blown to pieces and the house being almost completely wrecked. Flames Immediately broke out among the wreckage but the fire was soon extinguished by the firemen, who wow hastily summoned. THOSE GUI-TV OF LESS MAJESTY PARDONED. Berlin, Aug. 25.

FUTURE OF THE NEGRO It is in His Own Hands, Says Fairbanks The Vice President Makes nn Ad dress at the Colored Educational and industrial Exposition Being Held Near Columbus, Ohio. (By the Associated Press.) Columbus, O., Aug. 25. Vice President Charles W. Fairbanks ar rived here today to address the Ohio dfntn nrdnrprl educational and indUS- M exp0sitlon at Grove City, a su burb. While there he was the guest of Congressman Taylor. This fore noon he was given a reception at the state house, where he and Governor Harris received hundreds of citizens. He went out this afternoon to Grove City, where he and Governor Harris and Booker T. Washington made ad dresses. Vice President Fairbanks congrat ulated the colored people upon the i successful inauguration of the expo sition, saying that their success was not surprising to him as he knew something of the tenacity of their purpose. The importance of the work in which they were engaged could be better appreciated when the fact was recalled that the black race now constitutes more man ecu i. j . q( . population of the United States. The exposition, ne saio, a hopeful sign, not only because it il lustrates what the negro has been able to accomplish in the industrial arts in a comparatively few years, but it shows that he appreciates the value of co-operation. The exposi tion is an admirable object lesson, full of encouragement and inspira tion to the colored people. To ad vance education and industry is to encourage two of the mightiest fac tors in the upbuilding of any race. To prosper to the utmost and make the greatest advance in life, the col ored people must teach the virtue of sobriety, honesty, frugality, industry and fair play. Their advance had been accomplished against tremen dous obstacles, one of their greatest difficulties being prejudice. A broad opportunity, he said, lies before the colored race. What it will become will depend upon what it does In the final analysis, people advance only by virtue of their own efforts. The future of the colored , ft hands Make lt worthy of yourselves, j Make u wortny of y0Ur country." MEET AT CURVE; TWO ARE DEAD (By the Asbciated Press.) Pittsburg, Pa., August 25.

THE LOSSES ARE VAST Two Hundred Millions by Earthquake and Fire This Estimate is Confined to Valpa raiso, Property There Destroyed Being Probably Greater Than at San Francisco An Idea ot Deso lation. (By the Associated Press.) c . i., nhttu August 25. A con- servatlve estimate places toe- Viyr loss at Valparaiso as a result m earthemakes and fire at J200.000.000. The loss in the r' district wtu be Im mense as not only the residences of the landed proprietors, but the huts of the laborers nave been completely de stroyed, and in many places the bridges, fences and telegraph and telephone nosts have been thrown down. No pas 1 . . i,.- from senger trains nave Valparaiso .since August 10. It is insisted here that the effect or the disaster in the number of deaths and the amount of property destroyed is probably greater than was the case in San Francisco. Valparaiso is a great seaport of the republic and its commerce exceeds that of any Paeilie port except San Francisco. The entire 1..W..F rt of the city is completely de stroyed, and the loss of life Is felt throughout Chile, because all parts of the country wee represented there. Heavy rains are still falling at Val paraiso, making the misery still greater. Donations for the relief of the sufferers are arriving here from all parts of the world. Some idea of the state of affairs ex isting can be Conned from the fact that a man rode on horseback from Val paraiso to Santiago, a distance of 80 miles, and could not obtain food or drink for himself or his horse during the entire distance owing to the desolation prevailing.

Suggestions Looking to Peace. Among the suggestions made with the view to bringing about a peaceful settlement of the insurrection is ip of conceding to the liberals the anul ment of the December elections an i,.,i.it,,tr ,.iir nnea in which both polit ical narties, the moderates and the liberals, shall participate freelv. Another is that it fairly and commission he annointed by President Roosevelt to investigate the matters in dispute ni it is also oronosed that a cbmmis sion composed of government support- ers and Insurgents, of which the Amer- , .hnii i,., AViolrmfin. (can minister neic site.. be appointed to dec ide upon a basis of settlement. None of the plans appears practical. Die government is wholly unlikely t I begin negotiations ot any son at mm stage, but It is suggested mac -nent men from each province be sum moned to Havana to consult jointly i with the president. Kven tins is un likely. It is so necessary to tune ac tive measures to suppress the insur rection that it is Impracticable to spend time in discussion.

Gains of a point or more were made by the Hill Issues, Reading, New York Central and Smelt ing.
