WASHINGTON, Oct 1.-THE opening Of the
international maritime conference was really
an imposing affair, made SO more BY the
high rank aud glittering costumes Of those
participating In the proceedings than by che
nature of the ceremonies, which werc very
simple. Every maritime power in tho world
except Portugal had accepted the invitation
Of the United States 20 attend the confer
ence. Mr.. Blaine's speech OF welcome 70 the
delegates was as follows;
GENrLEwEs ON behalf Of the United States I
welcome you 30 the duties which lie before you
The already great and rapidly increasing inter
course between nation aud nation demands that
every protection against the dangers Of the sea
aud every guard for the safety Of human life
shall bee provided. The spoken languages OF the
world wlll continue 70 be many but necessity
commands that The unspukeu language of tine sen
shall be one. That laugunge must be as uniyer-
sal as the needs OF iuAn for cummorcs and inter-
course with bis fellow man. The deep iutcreat
which the maritime nations have taken iu the
questions at asue Ia shown by the eminent char
acter and the wide experience OF tile delegates 70
whom they have committed the important work.
Rear Admiral Franklin, Of the United
States, was chosen chairman The delegates

Annual session In Denver.


Annual session In Denver.
DENVER, Colo, Oct 1.-THE Brotherhood
Of Locomotive Engineers assembled in annual
session in this city, Chief Engineer Arthur
presiding. Chief Arthur said:
"The present timo represents the turning
point in the history of the order, for it has
become apparent that feeling essentially
radical has crcpt in and taken possession Of
some of our members This is dangerous
aud must be suppressed; FOR owing TO this,
statements seemingly contradictory have
crept out and become public which never
could have happened had there been a one
ness OF thought and an honesty of purpose
II mans ability extends beyond that re-
quired by the brotherhood, then y becomes
bis duty to doff the begrimed hAbiliments OF
the mechanic and assume that position for
which he is particularly gifted To nurse
ones dissatisfaction and scatter its seeds
broadcast to take root in the imaginations
OF other men is sinful and blighting To
character He admonished the members 20
keep their personality intact and not 70 allow
false gods 10 induce them TO subscribe 20 laws,
which, as soon as passed, will make them
cognizant of the necessity for appeal
He reiterates with emphasis his former
statement that the organization was law
abiding aud said: "Today / clearly define
our position toward railroad corporations
when / say that only as a last resort do w
sanction a strike.
In speaking of the growth Of the order he
said that the membership was $4,000, ana
that during the year just ended it had paid
out to the widows and orphans OF disabled
members S30d,OO0, making a total since il
organization Of g.. COS l69.
He thought it impossible to oyerestimate
the blessings and benefits derived from Oh,
order, and he advised every man within th,
range of his voice TO endeavor, at whatever
sacrifice to save little Of his earnings eacl
year, il only s25.
The possession of property brings respect
and always adds 10 the comfort and powei
of workingmen, besides gaining the esteem
Of all good citizens
No reference WAS made in the addres
either 10 the question of federation or to th
late Burlington strike. These omission
caused some disappointment to many Of th

Not n single one has been identified, as the

burned that recognition even by those near
est and dearest proved impossible.
Bodies Frightfnny Burned.
In most cases the clothing was also cou-
pletely burned Off the bodies Of the victims,
and il is feared that but few Of the fifty
scorched bodies now lying in two rows ON
each side Of the road few feet from the
mouth Of tho shaft will ever bo identified by
the wives and mothers, whose walls for their
dead are ringing out doiefully everywhere
A Hundred May Have Perished.
70 Is almost certain that there are ten
more bodies in the mine which the brave ex-
plorers could not reach, and it is even ru-
mored now that the number of men at work
when the explosion occurred largely exceeded
the figure given by the officials
The first report said that sixty men, alb
told, were az the bottom Of the shaft, but it
is stated by some that the number viii be
much nearer a hundred. This statement is,
TO some extent, borne out by the fact thai
fifty bodies were recovered so quickly The
searchers say that there are certainly mors
than ten victims still left at the foot Of the
shaft
