MITCHELL IN NEW YORK.
Receiving no Km oaniicciiicnt In I'.f
fortl In Confer With Mine Owner.
New York, March 2ii. President
John Mitchell, of the miners' union,
sent the following statement toWilkcs
barre yesterday:
"I have had no conference with J.
P. Morgan, or any other railroad
president or coal operator. Contrary
to reports, we, the committee, did not
come to New York in resismse to any
Invitation. So fur as I know the min
ers have not up to this time been of
fered or granted any concessions. Of
course, we all hope to avert a strike
and are putting our most urgent ef
forts to that end." i
Mr. Mitchell, with his colleagues,
John Fahy, Thomas Duffy and T. D.
Nirholls, left the Ashland House early
yesterday morning and did not re
turn until x o'clock last night. They
would not say where tiny had been
when tiny got back, but when asked
whether there would be a strike Mr.
Mitchell Bald: "l hope not."
Senator Banna stated positively that
he was not here to settle anything
concerning the proposed coal strike,
and would not discuss the question.
The Herald says that the operators
of the anthracite coal mines and the
executive officers of those railroads
that are largely interested ill that in
dustry are unanimous in the opinion
that there will lie no strike.
It seems to be pretty well establish
ed that Mr. Mitchell will not have an
Opportunity of holding any conference
as the representative of tic United
Mine Worki rs .Willi any of the anthra
cite coal operators or any person rep
resenting fhem. 'I ne operators are
averse to giving any recognition to the
organization.
THE CHINESE INDEMNITY.
Hy Increased Taxation li Conld tie
Pnld Within Twentr Veara.
Pekin, March 2tj. The special com
mittee of ministers appointed to con
sider the question of China's ability to
inert the indemnity claims is already
well forward witli the work of investi
gating the resources of the empire.
The annual revenue aggregates about
$66,000,000 cold. The largest two items
nre the land tax, which brings In $11.
000,000, and the foreign customs, which
yields $12,000,000. The land tax could
be doubled and even tripled without
much hardship and the salt tax could
be raised from $0,000,000 to $20.(100,000.
It Is believed that the total Increase
could be made to amount to $150,000,
000, the imperial expenses could be re
duced to $15,000,000, aud there would
be left available for the liquidation of
the Interest on loans and the indemnity
fund the sum of $105,000,000. It would
be possible to pay the indemnity with
in 20 years.

Birmingham, Ala., March 26. Short
ly before 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon
a fearful tornado swept over the south-1
era section of this city, traveling in an
easterly direction. The number of
killed Is estimated at 26. Oaly five of
them are white. The destruction of
property is placed at $250,000. Eighteen
bodies had been recovered from the
debris, and scores of Injured have been
removed to the hospitals.
Among the dead are: Dr. G. C. Chap
man, of the firm of Tally & Chapman,
who conduct a private infirmary in
thla city; wife and Infant son of Hon.
Robert H. Lowe, chairman of the Dem
ocratic state executive committee; un
known carpenter, struck by flying tim
ber; J. Alexander, little daughter of
B. B. Hudson, J. Myro, Carrie Hudson,
Maggie Blevins, Carrie Henry, Elzzie
(llenn and IJ. B. Hudson s cook. The
last six are colored.
Fatally Injured: Mrs. B. H. Thomas,
Mrs. W. H. Thomas, Mrs. D. D. Mc
Laughlin, Mrs. J. Ferguson, Mrs. My
lum and Carrie Elma (colored). Of the
others Injured six have broken arms
and one colored woman has an arm
and leg broken. One badly fractured
arm must be amputated.
The storm struck the city In the ex
treme southwestern corner and plowed
its wuy eastward, leaving a path 150
feet wide through the entire south
ern section, and continued its course
on until its fury was spent in the
mountains beyond Irondale. a small
town six miles east of the city.
The morning dawned cloudy and sul
try and grew more threatening as the
day advanced. Clouds began to gather,
and shortly after it o'clock sharp light
ning Hashed from the southwest. The
air became heavy and stilling. The
velocity of the wind suddenly began
to Increase and soon the dreaded funnel-shaped
cloud made its descent.
Hugging close to the earth it passed
through the city in leaps and bounds
with terrific force, and was away to the
east before people generally realized
what had happened.
The altitude of the cyclone was not!
more than 75 feet. The negro shanties
and cottages in the lowlands in the
path of the storm were flie principal
sufferers. The larger residences on the
higher ground suffered only slightly.
The large trees on the hillside of the
St. Vincent's hospital were torn up by
the roots, and large masses of s'.onc
were twisted out of the ground and
broken and scattered all over the i
driveways of the entrance to the Insti- j
tntlon.
From Eighth to Tenth street the!
wind bounded like a rubber ball and j
when it again descended it struck a
tWO-atory house occupied by Joseph j
Busenhelner and almost razed It to
the ground. The 11 -year-old daughter'
of John Kruosey, a rolling mill man,
was caught under the debris and se
verely injured. A house occupied hy ;
Taylor Hinson, near by, was unroofed
and three small negro houses demol
ished. Onward the wind sped in itsj
fury, demolishing trees and fences,
until It reached Eleventh street, where
a house occupied by John Hayes was
levelled to the ground. Skimming close
to the earth it swept through a small
plue grove, tearing the trees up by,
the roots and hurling them through
the air like arrows.
Beyond the grove the storm cloud
swooped down on a negro settlement
and the frail cabins were crushed like,
eggshells, not one being left iii the1
pathway of the storm. Carrie Elma, a
negro, was buried beneath the debris, j
but most of the negroes escaped with
slight injuries. Eastward the storm
swept, cutting its way through an
other strip of woods, striking the Kiv
ond Presbyterian church at tne corner j
of Avenue H and Fifteenth street, de
molishing the structure. The pew.-,
wore piled on top of the debris. A
small oak table, which was used on
the rostrum, was deposited on the top-
most point of the wreckage.
The storm then struck the more '
thickly settled residence portion of the'
city and its work of destruction In
creased. Almost a clean sweep was ;
made of the district lying between
Eighteenth and Twentieth streets and
Avenues 11 aud 1, two blocks. Here
the scene is one of complete demolition.
Tho frame cottages were reduced to
flattened piles of debris; every tree,
large or small, was either crushed
down or uprooted, and fallen telephone
poles and their tangle of wires made
a mass of destruction.
Onward the cyclone swept, nnd at
liondale again repeated its work of
destruction. I'p to this writing sev
eral bodies had been recovered. A
number of injured were reported, and
great property loss was entailed;
Besemer, Pratt City, Ensley, North
Birmingham aud other suburban towns
were visited by the storm, and In each
of these places much destruction was
wrought, but no loss of life Is reported.
Many houses were demolished at Pratt
City, Including a number of churches.
At Powdsrly there was also much dam
age and destruction, and at Cleveland
Mrs. Geerge Hatt was struck by light
ning and will probably die.

If la Donhtfnl If Any of tha Waaad-

Exploits-. Which Waa Canard by
mm Aoonsaolatloa of Gas.
Connellsville. Pa., March 26. The
Brat and most fatal mine explosion to
occur in the New Klondike region of
Payette county happened yesterday.
One man waa killed Instantly, five will
die and ten are burned and crushed ao
terribly that it Is doubtful if they will
reoover. The body of the dead man,
an unknown Italian, Is missing. The
injured meu have been brought to the
Cottage State hospital, and as a re
sult of the explosion the mine Is on
fire. The cause of the explosion was
an accumulation of gas in the heading
of the Gates mine, one of the new
mines opened up this winter by the
American Steel and Wire company,
which has lately been merged into the
United States Steel corporation.
The fatally injured are: Robert Nel
son, mine foreman, terribly burned,
skull blown open and brains scattered
out; Gibson (iilmore, of Dunbar, an
American miner, burned and blacken
ed from head to feet; David Ramsey,
of Adelaide, a driver, burned from
head to feet, also crushed by the force
of the explosion; James Wilson, of
Oliphant. American miner, frightfully
burned about the head, face and bod)
and crushed and bruised; Michael
Goble, of Gates, a German miner, ter
ribly crushed.
The Gates plant is located Just
across the Monongahela river from Ma
sontown. The fire boss of the new
mine is Michael Callaghnn, but recent
ly appointed. He made hu rounds
early yesterday morning, as usual, and
found no gas. At X:50 o'clock a blast
was prepared in a heading parallel to
the main beading, A group of 10 min
ers had gathered in a cross entry abotr.
600 feet from the bottom of the shaft
and 50 feet from the face. The chargi
of powder was put into the blast ae
usual and touched off by Michael
Goble. tho "blaster." In the meantime
a pocket of gas had accumulated at
the face and gradually drifted out to
ward the heading. It Is supposed that
the Blight fall or a sudden issue along
the floor of the heading caused tin
presence of the gas. The same instant
that the fuse was touched off there wa?
a blinding Hash, which suddenly fill
ed the entry in which the miners had
taken refugo.
The American miners who are abli
to tell anything of the accident say
that there were really two explosions
The first was so terrific that it lef;
them dazed and stiffened, when then
was another rush of air following thi
flash and noise, bringing with it a sec
ond puff of gas. This. too. was ignited
hy the fire which had already enkin
dled the mine. The miserable miners
were thus buffeted between two explo
sions. The news of the explosion spread
rapidly nnd soon the people wen
flocking to the mouth of the mine. A
wild crowd gathered at the pit mouth
Meantime in the black depths of th(
mine groans, prayers and Imprecation)
filled the black tunnel. A row of new
mine cars stood near the scene of tin
blast and the men stood near them
laughingly waiting for the boom of Hk
expleslon of the blast. Ill an instant
they were mixed In a horrible mass ol
writhing burned bodies and wrecked
pit wagons.
The rescuing party were remarkably
quick in the work of g? ing to tVe aid
of the entombed men. When till tin
burned miners were brought to the sur
face they numbered 16. Six of then,
were taken to their homes at Gates.
The others were placed In an empt)
box car. which was half filled with
clean straw, and brought to this place,
and soon till the available physicians
were attending to the wounds of tin
sufferers.
