POTATO STARCH.
The attorne v general, in response to the
resolution of the house, submitted the fol-
lowing opinion in relation to the potato
starch bounty:
ut is my opinion that bounty bills, such
as are specified in chapter S6 of the laws of
1890, are within the power of our legisla-
ture to make; and that this bill created con.
tract rights between the state and those
who shall avail themselves of it's pro.
visions, prior to its repeal. 1t differs from
leg!slatlont TO promote a private enterprise
aiding a definite foundry or grist mill, It
goes to all in q certain class to promote
what the legislature believes a public
good.
"By repeating this law now and putting
an emergency clause in the repeating act.
the legislature a Shut off all chance to
start new claims for bounty as to all
persons who have not started in the bust
ness.
"Wol bounties. tree CLAIM bounties and
taxation to aid railroads have been upheld
in the various states for many years, while
taxation to aid a given gristmill or
foundry has quite as generally been held
void. This comes within the public class
that has been held Valid"

extlnguished caused damage to the
amount of 100000 besides throwing

one of the largest in the Stock Yards.

Lieut. Cloonen Killed at q Fire IN
St Paul
Two Other Firemen Injured-Dyer's Music
Store Badly Scorched, Entail
Ing . Loss Of
$4,000

ST. PAUL, Aug. leone fireman was
instantly killed, two others severely in
jured and $35, 900 worth of musical
merchandis, was destroyed at fire to-
night in w. J. Dyer 81 Bros establish
ment. l53 East Third street.
The alarm was turned in at $50
o'clock, and as the fire threatened to be
a big one, Chief jackson, as soon as he
arrived on the scene, turned in sec
ond alarm. The fire started in the rear
of the top foor of the building in what
is known as the repair room, and when
the department commenced work the
upper part of the structure was envel-
oned in a dense cloud of suffocating
smoke.
lne large extension ladder was run
up in the rear of the building, and Capt.
y. j. S rapp and Lieut.. M. j. Cloonen,
of engine company No. 8, and Lieut..
John j. Murphy, OF, hook and ladder
company No. 1, were quickly pouring
water on the blaze. In the front of the
building several streams were being
worked with effect, but the fire seemed
to be confined to the rear of the build
ing. The floods of water poured on the
flames only made the fire hotter, this
being due to the quantities of oil, var
nish and shellac in that part of the
building. The smoke from the fire YVES
OF the most suffocating kind, but the
firemen stuck to their posts despite the
sitting cloud.
Lieut.. Cloonen, who had the nozzle
of the stream, was about to be relieved
by Capt Strapp, who was just below
him on the ladder, and Strapp had
swung partly off the ladder to allow
Cloonen to step down, when, to the
horror of his companions and specta-
tors, Cloonen was seen to sway back
ward and in an instant his body was
falling through the air. Cloonen, in his
fall, turned over twice and struck the
ground on his face. So quickly was the
thing over that before the men at the
foot of the ladder were aware the life
less body of their companion was at
their feet.
Ten minutes. after Cloonen's fall from
the ladder the fremen on the roof Of
the building noticed that Capt Strap
and Lieut.. Murphy were suffering from
the binding smoke and were likely to
meet the same fate as Cloonen. Both
were rescued before fatally injured.

NINE DISASTER.
Terrible Accident Near Eagle Pass.
Tex
A COAL SHAFT TAKES FIRE
Twenty-six of the Miners known to Have
Perisheti- Energetic Efforts to Get
at the Boeiies-Arrcsts
Made.

EAGLE Pass, Tex, June Sire
broke out in the Fuerte coal mine near
here and at least twenty-six miners
have persisted The particulars OBJ
tainable are these:
The Mexican International railway,
which recently came into possession OF
the mines. is operating narrow gauge
road with a small engine which pene-
trates the main entry, hauling in empty
and bringing out loaded cars This
main entry is lined on the sides and at
the top with creosoted lumber and
three air shafts from it supply the mines
with ventila ton. The entrance of the
track is on the north side of a range OF
hills. through which it passes down an
incline to the mouth of the tunnel on
the banks OF the Rio EScondido river.
Workings are all to the east of the
main entry and some fifty men were
employed taking out coal. At o'clock
yesterday evening, shortly after the To-
connective left, the mine was discovered
to be on fire and smoke and flames
We're seen issuing out of the airshafts.
About one-half of the miners were
working near the main tunnel and
those made their escape, leaving TWEEN
ty-six of their number to perish from
the heat and smoke and from the
poisonous gases which spread like
lightning to every portion of the mines.
When it was seen that all efforts
We're useless to rescue the imprisoned
miners every energy was directed to
saving the property from destruction.
hand-pump was placed in position on
the Escondido river, pipes were laid
into the mine as far as any work could
be done and hose attached and water
poured on the burning timbers. A
portable engine was speedily obtained
from Piedras Negras and in three hours
the fire was under control. There are
twenty-six chambers in the mine and
the dead miners are supposed to be well
to the front of the mine.
At IL o'clock one body had been re-
covered from the seventh chamber and
shortly afterward another fearfully
scorched and blackened was brought to
the surface The tenth chamber has
been reached and men with ropes tied
to their bodies to effect their rescue if
overcome by heat and smoke are fight
ing their way to where the bodies OF
their dead comrades are lying. Super
intendent George Spence ventured in
too far and was overcome by heat and
smoke. He was prostra ted but was
rescued.
All the miners employed were Next
cans and most of them leave destitute
families. It is reported that all parties
responsible for the management of the
mines have been placed under arrest
pending an investigation of the causes
Of the disaster. But for the prompt ac-
ton Of the officials of the Mexican In
ternational and their heroic efforts the
mine would have been DESTROYED and
none of the bodies would have been re-
covered. This is the first great disaster
in the history of coal mining in Mexico.
