plosion occurred at 8:30. Tho boiler was
tho hot water boiler behind tho kitchen
range. Tbo explosion blowout a portion
ot the rear wall of the building thirty
feet In width and extending from tbo
ground to tho floor ot tho fourth story. One
endet tho dining room was wrecked all
tho tables being knocked over and tbo
dishes smashed. Most of tbo guosts bod
llulshed breakfast Among thoso who re-
mained a panic rvignrd but as far as known
nono of tlio guests wcro hurt. Tho kitchen
ot tho hotel was completely wrecked.
There were about n dozen girls In tho room

ing girls wcro taken out of tho ruins

tanco of fifteen or twenty feet. Tbo tiro-

MURDERED MARSHALS.
l'Mtlbllltr of Ilia Kellrement by n Special
Act f Cnnjcreea.
WssniitnTOM Nov. 28. Army officials nro
oftbu opinion that the Bccrctnry of War
will recommend to Cotiftres that a bill be
passed to proVldd fof thd retirement of Ocn-
cral Swalm who Is tho titular Judge Ad
vocalo Of th.o army although under a sen
tenco of suspension ot a court-mnrtlal for
twelve years only two years of which or
thereabouts have bocn served This sen-
tence If It Is to bo executed practically re-
moves tho Judge Advocatu-Uencral from
the active list for when his time ex pi res ho
will have reached the ago of compulsory
retirement. Many In the army who woro
not frlcndlr to Ucnoral Swalm. ballovo
the sentence was ridiculous and that If he
merited any punishment J10 had received
qultoc'jdugh. Asido om any considera-
tion of Ucnoral Swalm himself ns an Indi-
vidual the sentenco ot tbo court-martial Is
a great hindrance to tho proper adminis-
tration of of the bureau of Judgo Advocalo-
Uencral and a serious embarrassment
to tho Secretary of War as It will be to
all his successors for ten years unless
something shall be dono to relievo tbo
array. Judgo Swalm Is realty Judgo Ad-
vocato of tho army but Is rondcred by the
sentenco Incapablo of performing any
further service In the army. Tho deputy
Judgo Advocatc-Ucnoral has neither the
title salary nor prlvllcgo of tho Judgo Ad-vocato-Qcncrat
yet he Is called upon to do
tbo duties ot his chief. This ot course is
as great an Injustice as It Is na obstacle to
tho proper administration of military jus-
tics. The subject bas neon caueu vo mo
attention ot the President who now bas
the matter under consideration. Semo
nrmr officials aro ot tho onlnlon that tfc.
executive authorities will decido that On?
only practical way to relieve the War he
parlmcnt will bo lo ask Concrcss to pav
special net to retire Ucnoral Swalm at n
present time. Tho executive is now with-
out ogal authority lo rotlro bim as ho Is en-
titled to his commission and can not bo re-
