TWENTY-ONE KILLED.
Nearly Every Man In the New Richland Col
liery Killed or lnured Only Four
Escape With Slight Injuries.
At the Blchlnnd mine of the Pay
ton Coal and Iron Company, two miles
from Paytou, Tenn., nt 4:30 o'clock
Monday afternoon, a terrltllc explosion
of coal dust resulted In tbe death ol
21 nieu, nil white, and most of them
married and with families.
lite explosion was caused by what
Is known among miners ns a "blown
blast." It Is the custom of the miners
lo place blasts nnd tire them off at
quitting time each afternoon, leaving
tbe coal tdus thrown down to be load
ed und hauled from the mine next
morning. Tho Klchhiml mine is desti
tute of water and gront volumes of
Hue panicles of coal dust accumulate.
This will explode If exposed to I ho
tluines. At 4 o'clock Monday after
noon a dynamite cartridge was placed
In position for a blast aim the miners
started for the mouth of tho mine.
The blast did not explode, but n
long Maine shot out of tho blast hole
and Ignited the iicctiinulaiion of dust.
Instantly the explosion occurred nml
a seething muss of Haines shot to the
mouth of tho mine mid extended .loo
feet Into II pell tl lr. Thirty-four
men were 111 ihe mine nt the time.
Pour of these escaped wlui slight In
Jury. Twenty-one were killed nml
nine were burned, most of fheiii fa
mily. Tho force of tho explosion
caused great masses of coal nnd slate
to cave in from the roof of the mine,
and many fated miners were com
pletely burled. One by olio the black
ened and horribly dlstlgiirod bodies
were taken from tho debris nnd car
ried to tin- mouth of the mine, whence
they wore taken to Pay toll.
SUPREME COURT DECISION.
It Is Hold That the Constitution Doss Not
Follow ti e Flag.
The decision of the supreme court
of the Fulled Slates Is that tho con
stitution does not follow the Hag.
This decision, the most Important
that groat tribunal has ever made, has
been handed down. The decision Is
In favor of the government, but by a
divided bench. There will be at least
live Individual opinions, but some of
these are concurring opinions express
ing tlie views of flie writers more
fully nnd particularly than Is done lu
the opinion of tlie majority. The
court goes hack lo the period lu which
the republic was formed nnd the con
stitution framed and endeavors to
ascertain what wns the Intent of the
founders of the nation. The opinion
of the majority of the court disposes
of tlie uniform taxntioti clause of the
constitution which has boon Invoked
by all the appellants lu these cases,
In the following inanetir:
I lie fi'tnncrs of the constitution In
writing that clause had no thought of
Its application fo territorial possess
sions. No such question as is now
presented hud ntiscii In their minds.
Their clause, "nil duties, imposts nnd
excises shall bo uniform throughout
the Fulled States," the court holds,
was placed In tl onstltutloii as n
result of the Jealousies of the states
which united In rormlng the nation.
It was Intended to prevent any state
or combination of states securing ad
vantage of another or others; to pro
vent the ports of one state gaining
preference over those of nnotlier 111
the Importation of goods.
Tills rule if uniformity was made
primarily for tiro states united, the
court holds, not for territories then
possessed or afterward acquired nml
the constitutional requirement Is satis-
lied as long ns all duties In Import
a"' uniformly Imposed at all the ports

WEATHER UNFAVORABLE.
This Is the Season of tho Year When Crop
Damage Rumors Affect Spoculation.
Trade In Fair Condition.
It. i. ruin & (.'o.'s "Weekly Itevlew
of Trade" says: While the wentdet
lu tde Rust has hampered distributive
trade to a considerable extent this
week, tde West ami Soiitd report
operations well up to tlie recent aver
age. It is tho season when crop dam
ago rumors are always heard, and
they have come from all quarters, but
probably In large part owe their
origin to speculation. There Is noth
ing to cause any mod Ideation of the
general estimates founded upon the
returns from correspondents of B. t.
Inin & Co. Iron and steel mills are
working ut full rapacity, and more
new plants have been put In opera
tion. Quotations are well maintained
wirhout any effort to secure advances.
Panning machinery Is a feature of
the domestic business, and there Is no
sign of decrease lu the export move
ment of these products, which has
attained enormous proportions. Balls
nre also going out freely to Australia
and South America. Hallways are
unable to secure sutllcleut freight cars
and other supplies, while structural
work proceeds briskly with little In
terruption from labor controversies.
Kx tended holidays abroad and a short
one In this country have tended to
make the gruln inarKcts unusually
quiet, while corn has had the added
drawback of hesitation among trad
ers who have not yet recovered from
the effects of manipulation lu the May
optJou. Foreign purchasers were driv
en out of this market by inrtated quo
tations, as shown by Atlantic exports
In five weeks of only 0,4:10,283 bushels,
against 17..'!41.nd.i bushels last yeat
and KU.TI.KIN bushels lu the samr
weeks of 1.V.K). Knch reaction In
wheat Is quickly followed by recovery,
and much support U found In gloomy
reports from growing sections, but the
splendid condition earlier In the sea
sou gives reason to hope for an abund
ant yield. Failures for the week num
bered 14S In the United States, against
im last year, and 27 lu Canada,
against 20 last your.
Itnidstreet's says: Unseasonable
wenrher has been tlie key of the gen
eral situation this week, discouraging
as It has been to retail trade In the
cities and country districts alike and
retarding the growth of most crops,
but particularly corn and oats In the
northern half of tiie country and cot
ton at the South. Withal, however,
there Is a feeling prevalent that a
few weeks of warm, sunny weather,
been to place matters commerclul and
agricultural la as good or better con
dition than a year ago.
The Shah of Persia has decreed that
all roads round his capital are to be
made practicable for motor car traffic.
