HOW EXPLOSION ON U.S.S.
MISS1SSIPP1 OCCUREED
Whip engaged in target practice
off San Pedro; Ca ifornia,on the
afternoon of.June 12 an explo
sion occurred in the number 2
turret of the IT.S.S Mississippi,
killing forty five and injuring a
scoie. The vessel at once ma le
for port, and when inside port
limits a second explosion occur
firing a second gun. 1 he shot
from this gun barely missing the
the liner Yale, which was leaving
port. Vh i ions explanations of the
disaster have been made regard
ing it. The Naval journal gives
the following version: —
The vessel was firing at long
range battle practice. The guns
have only an elevation of 15°, giv
ing them a very short range. It
is said, that to tive normal range
the ship was trimmed to one
side, tins gave tne vessel a list i
of a number of degrees, giving!
the guns ihe right elevation, this
movement it is believed, causeda
short circuit in the electrical fil
ing machanism, which allowed
the gun to be fired without the
breech being closed. The second
gun was fired through the con
tact of the hand of a dead officer,
firing the charge. These are the
true statements.

THE CALL OF THE NORTH
(To the funner G jvenior of New
Yoik, “Sourdough Bill” Sulzer.)
Tis !he&spirit of Alaska thal is calling'
me to night
As 1 dream in New York t'ity. where
| the lights are shining bright.
And 1 long to see the rugged coast and
j snow capped peaks on high:
Oh. take me to Alaska! Take me hack
j before I die
I can see the coast range glist ing, crowned
with everlasting snow
I can hear the river roaring, in the val
ley. far below.
I can feel the cool of evening, as the sun
sinks out of sight.
'Tis the spirit ol Alaska that is calling
me. tonight.
I can hear the wind a-sighing through
the tree tops. dark, and tall.
L can hear the wolves a-ealting. as they
band up in the fall.
’Well I know their every action as they
vanish out of sight;
Tis the spirit of Alaska that is calling
me, tonight.
I can hear the city calling and I know
the madding throng,
As I watch the toil-worn faces of the
people, pass along:
But the Spirit of Alaska —the Aurora's
changing light
Are calling me to leave New York, for
my nothern home tonight.
