AWFUL MINE DISASTER
Explosion In British Columbia
Causes Many Deaths.
Seneral Chaffee Disapproved Findings
of Waller Trial Cuban Republic.
Olatresa at St Vincent In Jail at
Quebec Gabriel Bishop Acquitted.
Blue Law Repealed.
The most terrible disaster In the his
tory of the frequent accidents In Brit
ish Columbia, occurred Thursday night
In the Crow's Nest Coal company's
minea at Fcrnle, B. C. Over one
hundred men are cither dead or Im
prisoned In the mine, and little hope
Is entertained of rescuing any who
may yet be alive.
A special from Ferule says that the
explosion took place at 7:30 Thurs
day tenlng. The management has a
llct of 133 men who are known to have
been iu the mine, and there were
probably others. Of these only 24
are Ui.owu to be eafe. It la limed that
few If any of the remaining 109 are
now alive.
Ditapprovcd Findings.
The official findings of the court
mnrtlnl which acquitted Major Waller
and I ieuteiiaut John II. A. Day, of
the. marlr.e corps, charged with exo
rutiirj natives rf th- Island of Samar
wl.hout trial, have been made public.
The reviewing authority of the court.
Major C.eneral Adna R. Chaffee,
liai expressed his disapproval cf the
ciurt's findings' In both cases.
Referring to the case or Major Wal
ler the reviewing authority says:
"The sending of the natives in ques
tion lo I heir death partook more of
unlawful retaliation than Justifiable
act of war. In justice to the American
military service the findings of ac
quittal den and that they shall not
meet with unqualified approval. Tho
maiines In Samar underwent great
sufferings befoie their rescue, and
their officers from their sick beds
voiced the revengeful anger of the
men who telephoned to Major Waller
advising that the stevedores be killed.
Major Waller received this message
while ho was sick and prostrate from
a fever, suffering acute pain of body,
due to exposure and exertions In be
half ( f his men and mental anguish
concerning, their fate, which had long
been In doubt.
"C.h Ing heed to the mental attitude
of Major Wuller, so much of the find
ings of tho court as is to the effect
that Major Waller Is not guilty of
murder Is approved. But the review
ing atithi rity is at loss to under
stand why the court did not find
auainst Major Waller in the minor
offence. With the exception noted
the acquittal, as it appears In the rec
ord of tho proceedings, Is disap
proved." Birth of a New Nation.
The natal day of the republic of
Cuba found Havana arrayed like a
queen. The decoiatiuns were univers
al. There was m.t a residence, pre
tentious or liumlilo, that did not bear
upon its quaint fa ade some emblem in
honor ct the event. The many arches
erected at the entrances of pla.as by
political socli'tle3, fraternal clubs, resi
dents of vaiii u? civil divisions of the
city, ami business organizations had
an air of grandeur.
The ceieincny of transfer was brief
and simple. After formal greetings,
General Weed read the documentary
transfer prepared by the war depart
ment, pledging the new government to
Immediately proclaim the constitution
and the Plntt amendment contained
in the appendix, and to andcrtake nil
obligations assumed by the United
States, with respect to Cuba, by the
treaty of Paiia.
Senor Estrada Palma attached his
signature to the document as president
cf the republic, after an exchange of
congratulations, and the old veteran,
General Gomez, a?cended to the roof
of the palace. He was Instantly recog
nized and r.'.et v.ith an immense dem
onstration of welcome. General Wood
himself undid the halliards from the
flagstaff and lowered the Amerlcar
colors.
In the meantime a Cuban flag hart
been bent on the halliards of the pal
ace flarstatf and, by his own hand.
General Wood raised It, as an act of
the United Htntes. General Gomez as
sisted him.
Labor Troubles the Only Drawback.
With almost uniformly good wheat
weather, a full volume of reorder bus
iness for this season of tho year, good
collections and heavy railroad earn
ings, the only cloud on the situation
would seem to he tho continued unrost
of labor and the Idleness of large num
Vers of industrial workers as a result
thereof. Even here, however, it is to
be noted that, with the single excep
tion of tho anthracite coal miners'
strike, which of course, affects de
mand and Industry throughout a wide
area, the disturbances are largely lo
calized, and are mo.-tly efforts on the
part of labor to get a still larger share
of tho concededly abundant prosper
ity ruling.
Wheat Is slightly lower on good
crop reports, hut straitened supplies
of corn ami oats make holders confi
dent. Corn vlslblo supplies aro only half
those of last year and 60 per cent of
the stock Is In Chicago. Wheat sup
plies are smaller than one or two
years ago and only slightly larger
than in ISfS.
Hog products generally are rather
easier. I,ard is lower and butter is
also off.

Injunction Against Beef Trust
The first public action of the Unit
ed States government against the
packers known as the "Big Six" be
gan when United States District At
torney S. II. Bethca made a motion be
fore Judge P. S. Grosscup in the
United States circuit court for a tem
porary restraining order. All that has
gone befure has been devoted to lay
ing out lines of prosecution and de
fense. The temporary Injunction asked for
by the government against the mera
lcrs of the so-called packers' combine
Is now In force. It was Issued In
Chicago by Judge Peter S. Grosscup
after the close of arguments In tho
United States circuit court room. The
order Fives the relief prayed for In the
bill filed by District Attorney Bethea
on May 10. It is so wide In Us scope
that If the packers or their agents
continue with their present alleged
uniform arrangements they will be
taken Inlo court on contempt proceed
ings and the burden of proof will be
on them to show that they have not
violated the order In nny particular.
Distress In St. Vincent
A cablo dispatch has been received
from Sir Robert I-lewellyn, gov
ernor of the Windward islands, dated
St. Vincent, Wednesday, May 21, and
expressing the gratitude of the Is
landers for the generous Engluh con
tributions. The message continues: "I fear the
distress Is likely to continue for a long
time. A fifth of the entire island is
devastated, the largest of the sugar
eBtates are ruined and their crops can
not be renewed In less than three
years If ever. The Buffering of the
injured from burns 1b beyond des
criptlon. The rains due may revive
vegetation a little but all the growing
crops and fruit were destroyed. The
sum of 7.000 ($35,00(1) is required
Immediately to build huts for refugees
of the devastated area, who have lost
everything.
"A violent outburst on Sunday
brought In many fresh refugees for re
lief. I fear all danger Is not yet
passed."
In Jail at Quebec.
Colonel Gaynor and Captain Greene,
defaulting contractors, are prisoners
In tho Quebec Jail. They were com
mitted to the prison, where Sheriff
I.angllcr had prepared special quarters
for them. Mr. Taschercau, counsel for
Messrs. Gaynor and Greene, notified
the court that in a few days he will
move for a writ of certiorari for the
transmission of the record of the arrest
of his clients from Montreal to Quebec.
The next step to be taken by the
attorneys representing the United
States has not been disclosed, but It is
said Ihey are not disconcerted by the
present situation. They are confident
that ultimately extradition proceed
ings will be successful and that Gay
nor and Greene will be forced to re
turn to Savannah and stand trial on
the charge of defrauding the United
States government In connection with
harbor contracts.
Pumpmen Are Divided.
A Wllkes-Barre, Pa., dispatch says:
that over 90 per cent of the men will
quit work on June 2, unless an 8
hour day is granted them. Another
officer of the union admits that the
percentage of engineers who will
quit work w ill not be as large but very
nearly so.
By a vote of 43 to 15 the collllery
engineers and pumpmen at a mass
meeting at Shamokin, Pa., have re
solved not to go on strike June 2,
even if the operators refused to grant
an 8 hour workday at the present
wage scale.
Gabriel Bishop Acquitted.
The trial at Buffalo of young Ga
briel Bishop of Cuba, N. Y., for kill
ing Everett Austin by exploding a dy
namite cartridge under the floor of a
cottage at Cuba lake In August, 1899,
was concluded late Friday after
noon. The trial had been brought to
Buffalo on a change of venue from Al
legany county, where the accused
had been convicted of manslaughter
In the second degree and a new trial
granted. The jury on the second
trial, alter being out 42 minutes, re
turned h verdict of not guilty.
Blue Law Repealed.
The so-called Massachusetts "blue
law," which prohibited the sale
of Ice cream, soda water and confec
tionery on Sunday by druggists and
common vlctualers, was wiped off the
statute book by a repealing measure
which Governor Crane signed as soon
as It was rushed to him from the seu--Mo.
The agitation growing out of the
attempt to enforce the law a few Sun
days ago led to the present legisla
tion. Tennessee Mining Horror.
Twenty or twenty-two bodies of
victims of the Fraterville mine
horror at Coal Creek, Tenn., are still
missing. Searching parties have
brought out 204 dead bodies and are
hard at work in efforts to recover
the remainder. An awful stench per
vades the mine, due to the numerous
dead bodies that have been found
therein and also the dead carcasses of
nineteen mine mules.
