A GREAT STRIKE BEGUN.
Nearly All the Coal Miners in Gre
Britain Quit Work.

Nearly All the Coal Miners in Grea1
Britain Quit Work.
LONDON, March 12.-The great Goa
miners strike was inaugurated today
At 2 O'Clock this morning the men EN-
ployed in the mines in Lancashire,
Cheshire and Yorkshire stopped work,
The only men now at work are the sur.
face men, bumpers, ventilators, attend.
ants, etc., who were not called out. In
the Durham mines work is also com
pletely stopped.
The number of miners who had quit
work up to noon in Nottingham was
10000.
The coal stocks in the Bristol district
have already been nearly exhausted.
As the result of the strike in that dis.
trict the price OF coal has gone up four
shillings per ton. Belgian shippers are
sending coal to the Tyne and the
Thames. The colliers carrying these
consignments are expected to arrive on
Monday. The coal porters will attempt
to prevent the discharge of these cargoes
and it is feared this will lead to re-
newal of the dock troubles.
One of the results of the split that has
occurred among North Wales miners ia
that the men working in Eiintshire will
n0t 60 on strike, but will work not
more than five days a week.
Wooden barricades are being built
around the mouths OF the various pits
in Durham, and none of the miners will
be allowed inside of these enclosures. 1t
is believed that at conference to be
held Wednesday next by the Miners
federation, it will be decided to limit

Terrible Account OF the Yellow Fever
Epidemic in Brazil.
Rio DE JANEIRo, Feb. 16.-The Rio
News says: According to private ac-
counts from Santos, the yellow fever sit
uation has become indescribable. The
authorities are clearly incompetent to
grapple with the epidemic. Assistance
from private sources is totally inade-
quate The News blames the authori-
ties for stirring up the fever germs in
the river. paying no attention to sani-
tary requirements and allowing great
accumulations of freight and blockade
of shipping, and advises vessels not to
clear for that port.
OF the situation in Rio de Janeiro, il
says: "We have now reached death
rate OF over thirty per day, which may
be considered as being epidemic. Ship.
ping is beginning to suffer severely, and
unless something is done Rio may soon
find herself in a position very little bet
ter than that OF Santos. The stories
about hospital treatment in Santos are
terrible. A man named Beemer sent 9
boy to the hospital, Friday afternoon
with the fever. Saturday evening he
went to see the boy, but was unable to
find any trace of him until he went to
the dead house, where he found the
poor lad still alive and conscious"

COLD-BLOODED MURDER
ANOTHER BLOODY TRAGEDY EN-
ACTED IN SACRAMENTO.
S. ]. Palmer Shoots and Kills Charles w.
Phleger-The Crime the Outgrowth of
the Embezzlement Cases Brought by
Senator Fair Against Palmer.

SACRAMENTO, March 12.--S. j. Palmer,
formerly manager ex-senator Fairs Yolo
county ranch, shot and killed Charles
W. Phleger, in George Wisseman's sa-
loon, on Fourth street, today. Phleger
was seated at table reading news
paper, when Palmer, who had been
drinking heavily for some days, entered
the room. Seeing Phleger, he pulled a
pistol and without warning fred five
shots into him. He snapped his pistol
for the sixth shot, but the chambers
had all been emptied. Palmer has been
denouncing Phleger because OF matters
growing out of the embezzlement case 8
brought by Senator Fair against Palmer,
in connection with the management of
the Y Yolo ranch. Palmer had threatened
to kill his wife and other PARTIES within
the past few days.
Palmer and Phleger were partners in
a ranch at the time when Palmer be-
came superintendent of Fairs Knight
Landing ranch. In many criminal
suits, and finally in civil suit instl-
tuted by Fair against Palmer, who, Fair
claimed, had appropriated more than
$50 0,O00 of the ranch's revenues, Phleger
was a witness for the prosecution.
Finally Judge Catlin of Sacramento,
sitting in the superior court of Yolo at
Woodland, gave a heavy judgment
against Palmer and in favor of Fair. A
compromise was then agreed upon, Fair
taking Palmer's interest in the ranch
owned by him and Phleger. The GRIM
inal prosecutions then standing were
dismissed here and in San Francisco,
and it was supposed that the long con-
troversy was settled. 1t seems, how
ever, that Palmer never forgave Phleger.

BRUSSELS, March l2.-There has been
little abatement in the excitement about
Charleroi, near which place an appalling
explosion occurred in the Anderluis
colliery yesterday. Fire is still burning
in the lower gallery. Debris and the
carcasses of forty horses block the ap-
proach to the gallery where bodies are
known to be. 1t has been ascertained
that 270 persons were working in the
mine at the time OF the explosion.
Most OF them were at work in the two
galleries where the greatest damage was
done. Mining experts say probably ev-
cry person working in the lower gallery
must be dead, and few are expected to
be rescued from the upper gallery.
Thirty bodies have been recovered. The
upper gallery is filled with gases. The
TACT that many women and children
were employed in the mine and met
their death by the explosion, will afford
an almost unanswerable argument for
those opposed to female labor in under
ground employment.
The fire in the mine has grown fiercer
and fiercer since 2 O'Clock this morning.
The heat is so intense that it is impos-
sible for the rescuing parties to remain
in the pit. They were compelled for the
present to abandon all efforts TO reach
the galleries.
After it was found that the ire was
gaining strength, consultation was
held between the mine owners and the
engineers. who decided that there was
not the slightest doubt that every body
in the mine was dead. The only course
left, if it was hoped to recover the bodies,
was to food the mine. Preparations
were made to carry out this plan, but at
O'Clock the flames ascended to the
mouth OF :he pit, and sparks were scat
tered in every direction. A few minutes
later an immense column of flame shot
through the ventilating shaft. The sight
was grandly magnificent as the mass
of fire shot upward, but it meant
certain death for every person in the
mine. For great distance around the
country was Illuminated to almost the
brightness of day. Higher and higher
scared the flames. The heat was so in
tense that the crowd was driven back
from the mouth of the ventilator shaft.
The engine house and the buildings
near by began to show the effects of the
heat. The glass in the windows broke !;
the woodwork began to crack, and then
in an instant was wrapped ina sheet of
| fame.
| Meantime, water commenced to be
thrown into the burning pit. It was
converted into steam and escaped with
a tremendous roar. The scene seldom,
if ever, has been equalled in mining dis
asters in Belgium.
The destruction of the buildings on
the surface proceeded without opposi-
ton. By O'Clock only the walls were
standing. All the heavy machines at
the mouth Of the pit were destroyed and
fell crashing down the shaft.
The total death roll is 215, OF whom
ITO were burned alive.
Great suffering among the families of
the dead miners must result. The gov
ernment has ordered the distribution of
relief.

charged with assault to kill by M. Vas
