LONDON, June 3.-A dispatch received
here this afternoon from Durham says that

situated near the city, at noon to-day.
Three hundred miners were in the pit and
great excitement ensued. A large force of
men Immediately went to work to rescue
them. The fire was caused by an explosion
Of fire damp. All but twenty-five of the
miners have since been rescued. Another

CURED in the top seam. of the
Margaret pit, the Peggy pit" as it is
known locally. that it was caused by an ex-
plosion, and TWENTY-FIVE men and boys at
work there were killed outright. The ex-
plOsion was followed by rush of water in
immense volumes into the Sutton seam.
The miners men and boys in this seam,
however, were all taken out alive. Work
ing parties are now laboring zealously
to stay the flood of waters rushing into the
Mandlen seam, where great number of

States stated that he hoped soon to have

all the more gratifying. He ascribed the
warmth of his welcome to the natural love

was fOstered and constantly broadened and
deepened by their great international inter-

AFaVOrable Reply.

For some time past merchants of Chicago,
Milwaukee and St. Louis have been seek
ing to have the railroads abolish carload
rates on nearly all commodities. This,
were it done, would be greatly against the
interest of the Northwest and benefit the
jobbers of the places stated. Wholesale
merchants of St. Paul and Minneapolis
telegraphed Tuesday to the general traffic
managers in session at Denver to protect
their interests and yesterday the following
answer was received:
A resolution was passed not to abolish
carload rates, but the right is reserved to
hereafter adjust differences that may exist
in the present classification as between car
load and less than carload rates.

THE decision rendered by the supreme

THE decision rendered by the supreme
court of Wisconsin yesterday, in relation to
the power of the state in taxing railroads,
adds new feature to the multitudinous per-
plexities of the railroad problem. If the de-
cision of the Wisconsin court is to become a
precedent to be quoted as authority by other
states then the effort to tax railroads had as
well be abandoned. If there is any such
thing as state sovereignty and the right of
eminent domain it is very difficult to UNDER
stand how the court arrived at the conclusion
announced in its decision. Our Madison spe-
cial informs us that the decision has created
a sensation in that city. It is not surprising
that it does. 1t occurs to us that such de-
cision as that would create sensation in any
community,

that it was species of tyranny that their
sense of youthful independence would not
submit to. The teacher refused to give q
respectful hearing to the petitioners and
tiogged the committee which waited upon
him with the resolutions. The next morn
ing when he appeared at the school house
he found himself barred out. The rural
youngsters had arrived on the ground early,
and fOrtifying themselves inside the school
room had barricaded the door by piling up
benches against it and had all the windows
to break the blockade the tutor was COM
PEELED at last to beat retreat, bearing on
his head and face the scars of battle, in
fiicted by sundry missiles which had been
hurled through the window panes by the
assaulted garrison. A meeting OF
the school board was called, and
the result of consultation be-
tween it and the teacher was that a regu-
lar siege should be established in order to
starve the boys out. This plan proved
futile, as there was a sufficient number of
people in the neighborhood in sympathy
with the rebels to keep them supplied with
provisions. Each night some blockade run
ner would succeed in passing the school
board Sentinels and carry the besieged gar
rison food enough to last it twenty-four
hours. At the end of week an honorable
capitulatiOn of the garrison was secured by
promise that the wOod-carrying ordinance
should be repealed. 1t is to the disgrace of
the school board when it is told that the
terms of the surrender were never carried
out by the victors and that until the pres
ent year the same section of school law has
continued to be blot on the jurisprudence
of the state. Last winter anumber of boys
banded together, and with the aid of a
few sympathetic adults, brought this
feature of the law before the courts. In
order to have foundation for a case
one OF the young heroes refused to obey the
order which required each pupil upon re-
turning from play to bring stick of wood
to keep the fire going, and in consequence
OF his refusal was suspended. The ques-
ton of the right of the board of education
to suspend him for this cause was raised
and has been followed from court to court
until the supreme court gave final de-
cison sustaining the boy. The court held
that carrying wood is not a legitimate fea-
ture of system of public instruction. ''The
requirement that school children shall bring
up wood,' it says, ''has nothing to do with
the education of the child. It is nothing
but manual labor, pure and simple, and has
no relation to mental development. If
child can be compelled to bring up wood, he
can be made to saw and split it before it is
brought up; he can be compelled to bring it
to the school yard and throw it in the base
ment; can be made to clear the sidewalk Of
snow, wash the windows or do any other
mental work about the school house and
grounds" Now it will be in order for all
the boys in the land to give three cheers
for the supreme court of Wisconsin.
