Rusiness Visit to Easton.
BosToN, May ll.-ln the senate the
joint standing committee on cities re-
ported n bill relative to the registrati on OF
voters. The Democrats on the committee
dissent.
A party OF about 100, composed OF mem.
bers OF the legislature and state house at
taches, made trip to Easton by invita-
tion of the residents Of that town. The oh
ject Of the visit was to look over the old
muster ground in Easton, OF which the
city OF Brockton wants to take ninety
acres for use as n sewage filtration field.
1t is claimed on the part of Easton that
Brockton has annie acreage within her
own limits for the disposition OF her sewer
age, and il was to give ocular proof Of the
truth of this statement that the legisla.
ture was asked TO view the prospect DER.
The visitors were taken through Easton
and part of Brockton in barges, in order
that they might obtain an adequate
knowledge Of the character OF the soil
of the mild land, and subsequently the
extensive conservatories Of Hon. Fred L.
Ames were inspected and admired. Then
followed a bountiful collation. in the Ames
Memorial building. Besides the visitors
from the HUB the mayor of Brockton, the
city clerk, city treasurer, sewerage com
missioner and board of health were also
present, by invitition Of the selectmen Of
Easton.
The senate defeated the bill making ten
hours in twelve a days work for street
car conductors and drivers.

Klobedauz hit high ily over the fence
which Umpire Mulcahy called foul, and
which probably changed the result OF the
game.
Opinion is divided as TO fairness OF his
decision; but it is natural for the losing
teams friends to kick, especially when
they lose a hard fought game right in
their own territory.
Portland got two in the second and four

Condor was in the box, and, although
he shut them out in the first, his lame
arm gave out and they hit him hard in
the next two innings.
Then Lynch was put in and not man
got around until the seventh inning
when Rogers made double and Clymer
and Lechance singles which brought in
two men making their score eight.
Pawtucket got one in the first, one in
the third, and in the fourth started out
with a will and four men touched the
home plate.
This was the turning point and another
was made in the fifth and two in the
eight making the score nine. The Paw

EXPLOSION AND FIRE
An Awful Disaster in
the Northwest.
MINERS ARE HEMMEO IN.
No Doubt but That from Forty to Fifty
Men Have Lost Their Lives.

RusLYN. Wash, May IA terrible gas
explosion occurred in the slope Of mine
No. >. of the Northern Pacific Coal COM
pany at this point, in which the loss Of
life has exceeded in number that OF any
other disaster ever chronicled In the
northwest. The exact nature OF the ex-
plosion or the circumstances that led to
IL, will probably never be known, since It
Is believed every miner who was at work
In the slope has perished.
IL IL not known how many men were In
the vicinity Of the disaster, but Il Is be-
lieved that between forty-five and fifty
were on the three levels affected by the
explosion. A large relief force Is at
work, and Two bodies have been recovered.
These men were working nearest to the
opening, and at some distance from the
point where it is supposed the explosion
occurred. Most OF the men were 100 and
2OOO feet further in the slope aud in the
immediate vicinity OF the accident. There
Is no doubt, either in the minds OF miners
or The company officials, that
Every Man Was Instantly Killed.
The Roslyn mine is one Of the largest In
the state, supplying the western division
Of the Northern Pacific and Union Pacific
roads with coal, and has capacity Of
2o0OO tons day. The explosion occurred
just as two gangs were shifting at 1870
o'clock Two boys who were in the tun-
mel escaped but they are the only ones
from either gang SO far recovered alive.
IL il feared bat the explosion has closed
up the shaft, hat the mine Is ON nrs and
that il is impossible to recover the bodies.
The company will forward forty collins to
the mine.
"A driver hal Just come out Of the slope
when "A tremendous explosion occurred.
The shock upset his car, knocked mules
and driver down aud bruised man stand
Ing 100 feet away. The report was heard
all over the town, u mile away The mouth
OF the slope was soon
Surrounded by an Anxisus Crowd,
which grew ia size every minute Hard
rain was pouring down but tho crowd
needed it not One body was recovered In
about two hours; another an hour later,
two more at ,:30 All were terribly
bruised, indicating that death was instan-
taueous.
The lower 1uor of the city hall has been
converted into n morgue. The rescued
bodies are being viewed by crowds A
large proportion of the victims leave
large families aud as they have not had
over two daps' work y week during the
past year, many are in strsitened circum-
stances.
7 he scenes about the mouth of the slope
were sad In the extreme. Men, women
and children stood about in dazed condi-
tioh Pitiful lamentations Of the negroes
AL led to the horror.

petitioner and II was shown that not

should lie Controlled by Individual
States aud Not by Congress.
WAsuINGToN, May IL. Mr. Buchanan
reported adversely from the house com.
mittee on merchant marine and fisheries,
Mr.. Lapham's bill 60 regulate menhaden
and mackerel fisheries in the navigable
waters over which the United States has
jurisdiction. A report submitted with the
bill states that the question rs to whether
congress has any power on the subject is
left wholly underlined and such legislation
as is proposed is unusual and unwise. The
report asserts that the bill, il passed,
would deprive great states of rights
which they have exercised since their sep
aration from Great Britain, and have
never before been questioned by the
United States. The committee holds that
the right To control the fisheries belongs
exclusively TO tl.v state in whose jurisdic-
ton they are, and that such jurisdiction
extends over Tide waters league from
the coasts aud bays wholly within the
state and that included in this jurisdic.
ton Is the right to control over fisheries,
whether he fish be migratory, like men.
hadcn, or free swimming fish like shad.
The committee further holds there are no
tide waters and no belt of land under the
sea nd iacent To the consJ which is the
property % the United States, and not the
property Of the state. and, furthermore,
congress has no right to legislate upon
the subject
