ROME. Dec. 1, via Paris.-" The real
object 'ot the Emperor William’s visit
to Vienna was to put a stop to `efforts
Austria ismaking, by means of nego-

“ Vienna and Berlin disagree on the
question of peace.
“ Berlin desires to treat separately
with each of the Allies, 'so as to break
up the Quadruple Entente, and th‘en'
to crush England, but Vienna desires

the neutrality of Roumania. -
Alexander Marghitoman and P. H.
Carp, leader of the Roumanian Con-
servatives, are reported to have as-
sured the Duke of Mecklenburg-Sch
werin, when he was in Bucharest,
that the benevolent neutrality of Rou-
mania could be counted upon by the
Teutonic allies, if Germany could in-
duce Austria to code Transylvania and
parts of Bukowina to Roumania.
M. Carp is said to have promised
also to bring about changes in the
Rcumanian cabinet.
Negotiations between Berlin and
Vienna, the Journal says, were fruit-
less, owing to the determined opposi-
tion of Hungary, and it is asserted
that the German ruler is endeavour-
ing to induce Emperor Francis Joseph
to consent to the sacrifice of Transyl-
vania upon the ullderstanding that
Germany will return to Austria two
provinces of Sllesla, annexed to Prus-
sia in 1886.

LONDON, Dec. 1.-Lord Kitchener
will report at once to King George
and Premier Asqulth conceming his
observations on the -Gallipoli Penin-
sula and at Saloniki, and his consul-
tations with King Constantine of
Greece, King Victor Emmanuel of
italy and Lieut.-General Cndorna, the
Italian commander-in-chief, and the
French Government heads.
Earl Kitchener will meet his col-
leagues in the War Council of the
Cabinet on Thursday. At that time he
will convey to them the results of his
observations -on the various battle
fronts and his conferences at the
capitals of the countries he visited.
Earl Kitchener left England for the
Near East early in November. Tile
exact date of his departure was not
made known and no explanation was
given except that the duties of his
office as War Minister had called him
away.
Premier Asquith acted as War Min-
ister in his absence. As soon as it was
learned he had left the report gained
currency that he had resigned. This
was denied and later announcement
was made of his visit to Gallipoli and
the War Ministcr’s various confer-
ences.

Sir John French, commander of the
British forces on the western front,
was in London yesterday and con-
ferred with Premier Asquith.
So far as the pub`lic knows, Sir John
French has not been in London since
he paid a' secret visit to the British
capital late in January. He conferred
with the British alld French War
Ministers at Calais on July 6.
Earl Kitchener, British Secretary of
State for War, was in Paris yesterday.
There have been reports-that a move-
ment was _on foot to place General
Joffre, the French leader. in'supreme
command of the Franco-British forces
on the western front, but London has
denied there was any foundation for
tll_em. ~
tally important developments in the
Allies’ Baikall campaign are predicted
here to-day on the strength of four
highly significant indications. These
are: (1) Further urgent negotiations
between the Allies alld the Greek
Government.
(2) Lord Kitchcner’s conference in
France with President Poincare and

(4) The Czar's presence with his
troops at Rhni, on the Russo-Rouman
inn frontier.
lt is believed a settlement is near
between the Allies and King Constan-
tine of Greece. The King has been
willing to agree to practically all thc
demands the Entente Powers made,
except to demobilize the Greek army.
The Allies are understood now to be
willing to waive this requirement if
Greek troops are withdrawil from the
Salonlki region.
In this respect King Constantine is
expected to meet their wishes. Earl
Kitchener’s talk ill Paris is understood
to have related to heavy Anglo-French
reinforcements for the Balkan field.
The Rome statement is taken to
relate to Italian operations, possibly
already begun; wil.-h Serbia as their
objective.
The Czar's review of his soldiers
near Roni would never have been
planned. it is agreed, if the army in
that district were not to take the field
immediately.
Evidences that a speedy move
through Roumaniau territory is ill-
othor French Government leaders.
(3) The statement ill Rome that the
italian Cabinet has all important com-
tclldcll are considered suggestive of
au agreement marking the Rouman-
'lan’s speedy entrance into the war on

-Thirty wcrkmell were killed and
seven fatally injured to-day in a ter-
rific explosion of about four tolls cf,
black powder at the Upper Hagley
yard of the Dupont” Powder Company.
lt was the worst accident that has
occurred in ally of .the companys
plants in a quarter of a century.
Tile cause of the big explosion is
not known. According to a statement
issued by the company the origin
“ will probably always remain al
mystery."
Nearly all the victims of the blast
were young mell, between 16 and 'l
years. The greater number of ll- A-l
lived ill and about Wilmillgtoll.
Tile explosion occurred in 'f l»--

purposes. much of thc powder, if not
ull, being shipped to thc warring
nations. The packing house was situ-
ated about tilroc luilos nortli-west of
thc city.
it was 1.30 o'ciock wllcll a slight
explosion was hoard ill the neighbour-
llood, followcll by another one a trific
ilcnvicr, whicil was quickly succeeded
by a terrific blast that not only rocked
tho whole valley, but silock and
started Wilmington. Workman ran
from every builllillgnllll shack in tllo
widc area which the <-,onlpnny‘s plant
covers. A great column of sulokc
rose irolll illc spot where thc packing
house stood, and when thc cloud dis-
appeared there was only a big llolc
left in the ground.
Workmcn who survived the tremen-
dous blast said the scene was one of
horror. From cvcry treo loft standing
in the nelgilllourllood there was hang-
ing cithcr pieces of flesh or parts of
clothing worll by the unfortunate men.
Twenty-six men were in the packing
house. when the powder went off, and

For more than a quarter of a mile
about the scene of the explosion the
ground was strewn with arms, legs
and bits of flesh.
Four of the thirty men killed were
blown to pieces while at work outside
the packing llousc.
Tile work of gathering up what was
left of thc dead was a gruesome task.
Baskets and boxes were employed for
this purpose, and the men searched
thc grounds for bits of flesh as thougll
they were picking mushrooms.
Tile pellet packing house was a
one-storey frame building. eighteen by
twenty feet and was divided into six
rooms. Not a single part of it was to
be found, Nearby buildings were badly
damaged. The property loss, Dupont
oflicials said, was small. ,
’i‘hc'mcu injured were fltside the
plant. 'i`hey‘ were struck by bits of
lnachillcry, flying-boards, rocks alid
otilcl' debris, and all were badly mu i-
iatcd. They were rushed to the Dele-
ware and Homeopathic Hobpitais in
this city. Ollc or two had cyos blown
out. and several lost al_\ arm or leg.
Physicians stated they were so badly
iujllrcd that not one of them is ex-
