Hok-rible Explosion.
Crocktbn, Mass.,March 20.—The
explosion of a 150 horse-power
boiler in R. B. Grover & Co.'s
large four-story frame shoe factory
in the Campbello district todav
killed scares of employes, injuring
half a hundred others, and destroy
ed property valued at $250,000.
At 8:30 tonight the charred frag
ments of forty-three bodies lay in
the morgue, and 114 additional op
eratives had not been accounted for.
It is probable that the number of
dead will never be known. Of

quite a number will report tomor
row. The death list is estimated
at from fifty to seventy-five.
The work of identifying those
killed by the explosion at the shoe
factory of R. B. Grover & Co., to
day progressed slowly owing to the
generally unrecognizable remains
of the victims.

of Their Whole Army.
St. Petersburg, March 20.—
Anxiety regarding the fate of
Gelneral Linevitch's force contin
ues, the main danger to them being
the Japanese columns which are
hurrying northward along the great
route twenty miles west and paral
lel with the line of retreat. The
heads of these columns were offic
ially reported to be passing Fako
man. thirty miles northwest of Tie
pass, on Friday. Their appearance
doubtless hastened the Russians'
retirement, which may now have
become literally a race northward,
as once the Russians are headed it
would be easy for the Japanese by
a short cut to throw themselves
across the line of retreat. After
leaving Kaiyuan, General Liue
vitch is believed to have divided
his army, the main portion keeping
to the railroad and the other falling
back along the Mandarin road
which runs to Kirin, it being im
possible to leave the latter open to
the Japanese lest they then be able
to creep up to the left flank. At
the same time it is recognized that
separation of forces is always at
tended with the danger of giving
the enemy an opportunity to con
centrate and fight the army in de
tail. Some military men here be
lieve that Linevtch will try to hold
the line from Kirin to Changoun.
120 miles north of Tie pass. The
first corps composed of steady
troops from St. Petersburg, and
formerly commanded by General
Meindorff. is covering the retreat
which the war office declares is
proceeding in an orderly fashion.
Complete details of the losses at
the battle of Mukden are not yet
available at the war office, but
the reports thus far received indi
cate that 120,000 men were killed,
wounded or made prisoners, and
that about eighty field guns were
captured. Almost every siege gun,
it is affirmed, was removed.
