WASHINGTON, April la-Gafrull D Wright, the Commissioner of Labor, has submitted to the President for transmits. siou to Congress his fifth annual report Tue single object treatcd Is railroad labor. Tho report shows that on June 3e, issa, the whole number of railroad corporations in the United States was approximately l., 1ls aad the mileage of tho roads approxim ately iaa, ,4eo miles. Tho number of cm. rloyes on ail roads of this country on that date was 6sa,ais.
 Commissioner Wright discusses at some length what he believes to bs the ab surslity of tho common law rule prevailing in Europe and America. which prohibits an injured omploye from recovering damages frnp' his employer when the injury is the result Of the negligence or uufitness of the co employe.
 THE WAGES stnE or THE QUESTION,
 The wages sde et railroad labor Is given very fully In the report The whole number of specified occupations of the Ho roads k i,lls For the purpose of thls re port these are classified into IF occupations The report shows the fact outlined for a4l. Ylp employees. Of this number aa4 5su are employed on specified time. as by the day or by the month, whtlo i7,Sa0 are employed ny the milo, the trip, the piece, under con. tract or on commission, or a combination of these with day work As to the time employed, it k found that of as4, ,6so enl- ployes, 5d ioi are employed 9 days or less out Of the whole year; s5,esi are employed from a5 to so days; 3i,0ls are employed from Il to loo days, aud s,sdi from in0 to iao days. These numbers which constitute nearly 5s per cont. of the whole number of employees working on tho roads considered, aro employed less than half a year; 4a,7l9 work from 3oi to 3sa days. and 5,5ss work moro than full year. These two amounts constitute 2l.3 per cent, of the whole as working the whole year or over

The average daily rate of all the employees paid by spccigo time on the oo roads Is q 04, yet nearly 6i per cent Of tho whole number received less than the average rate of all, while only about g. per ccat received above the average for all IL is also shown that of the whole number of employees ioi, ,ao5 earn less than slOo per year. .a2l earn from Si0i to goo per year, and si,5l7, earn from Saoi to sst0 per year The average earnings on all the 60 roads per year is saa3, although less than 60 per cent. earn less than this average.

FORTY LIVES LOST.
Terrible Fire and Explosion at Mine No.
 {, Rock Springs, Wy.

CHEYENNE, Wy, April 23.-A fro is in progress in coal mine No. at Rock Springs The mine is valued at $1 ,000, ,0o0 and is the Union Pacific Railways last fuel property. Its average output is 800 cars q day in winter and half that number in summer. The fro was started by the care lessness of some mcasly Chinamen who were cooking lunch in . room. It started near an entry through which there was a continual draft, and spread rapidly, The alarm was sounded at 9:30 this morning. Whites and Chinamen swarmcd from the inclnes and shafts, but many werc cut on. Thereis no way of assertaining the numbe of men in the mine when the fire started.
 At lo:30 terrible explosion of fire damp made tho earth tremble and loosoned the coal in other mines All tho men in camp, and the women and children as well, gath cred at the entrances to No. 1. distress ing din was raised by their yelling and shrieks. If husband or son left tho side of woman she immediately cried that he was dying in the mine and implored the others to save her dear one In the confusion reseuing party was finally organized. They iisti ttlt tut SuflhCc uut itW Dluutss, when the thunder of second explosion reached the ears of the crowd at the tunnel mouth. A wild tumult followed, and only snhsided somewhat when one dead and half dozen disabled men were brought out.
 Another searching squad descended in half an hour and brought back in short | mo four insensiblc Chinamen with the in formation that several others were dead or dying in the rooms from which their bur dens were brought,
 The report of third explosion the loud est yet, followed the rescuers to the sur face. Immense volumes of smoke began to issue from the shafts, discouraging the organization of other searching parties and settling the fate of at least 30 or 40 men in the niue, mostly Chinamen.
 The mine Is operated through tunnels driven into the hillside and most of these have been closed The fight against the fire Is being made with water, but orders have been received from the superintend ent in Cheyenne to try smothering the fire. The mine will be closed for months.
