CONDITIONS NOT CRITICAL.
Mr.. Foster Once More Declares Against
BOND Issue

NEW YORK, Feb. 11.-Secretary OF the
Treasury Charles Foster. In an interview
tonight regarding the financial situation.
said: II don't think the situation Is critical
enough to warrant the issue of bonds. The
banks of New York to-day have $50, 900, coo
worth of gold and they are ready at any
time to give it to US In exchange for green
backs. don't think the failure of the re-
peal Of the 5 herman silver act will result in
driving gold out of the country. | believe
the supply of gold sufficient to meet all ad
equate demands and | do not consider the
condition of the country at all critical. The
Government is in position to redeem all
its promises. but l think the gold reserve
ought to be increased"

ment abroad? ?' he was asked

A PLANTERS IDEA.
Annexation Would Do Away With
Cheap Labor.

Z. w. Peterson, who came up on the Aus
traIia from Honolulu, talked freely OF the
situation on the islands to a reporter
Of The CALL yesterday. He is very
closely identified with the industries Of the
Islands, and is visiting San Francisco on
business. His chief interest is In the pro-
duction Of rice and his firm controls large
plantation.
His opinion-and he said it could apply
TO many other plantations-was that annex
alton would be ruinous to them. Cheap
labor was all that made the plantations
profitable, and If by annexation the Chinese
we're excluded the plantations would be
abandoned.
"Of course" said he, this Is only an
opinion, and it may be wrong. but 1t now
looks that way.
''Tbe old form OF government with an
American protectorate is what tile planters
would hail with delight. and the old planta-
tion times would come back"

Present Condition OF the Canal Work

NEW YORK, Feb. I1.-General John New

Lesseps not been the victim of a nest Of

been said great progress has been made.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. H. Chong Fous
and Kong Bong, two Chinese who were
arrested In Port Huron and charged with
being illegally in the United States, were
tried before the United States Court COM
missioner at Port Huron to-day and sen
fenced to ten days impris onment Ia the
Detroit House of Correction. They had in
their possession Canadian naturalization
papers. showing that they were British sub

back to Canada at the expiration of their

A prominent lawyer here thinks that this
case may lead to complications between

breach of the treaty between the two

UNDER FALLING ROCK.
Quarrymen Buried by the Gazing

Seven Were Killed, and the Cause of
the Disaster No Man Yet
Knows.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

RUTLAND, VT, Feb. 11.-One Of the worse
disasters in the history OF fmarble-quarryiug
occurred at West Rutland at little after 1
o'clock this afternoon. In the quarry oper-
ated by the Vermont Marble Company a
great mass of stone fell into the quarry aud
seven men were instantly killed and anHm-
ber of others injured. The victims were
crushed so that some of them could not be
recognized. The killed were:
William Lukas,
Frank Sulig,
Edward Powers,
Alexander Blumquest.
There were also three unrecogniZed men.
The injured were James Dooley. john
Dunn, Charles Anderson, Fred Marshand.
Antonio Ractio. John c. Anderson, Peter
Grenier. John Michan and Michael Cupps.
As soon as the accident happened tue
electric danger signal rupg in at the COM
pany's Offices, and the mills and work
stopped everywhere at once. All the doctors
in West Rutland and in Rutland were called
by telephone and responded quickly.
Scores Of men were also sent down into the
quarry as soon as the news spread to the
street, and hundreds of men, women and
children hurried TO the quarry, and by
O'Clock the vicinity was crowded.
In the crowd were many relatives of the
dead or injured. and they were frantic with
grief. The accident occurred near the ex-
treme end of the quarry, far under the hill,
and the killed and some of the injured were
buried under tons Of rock. The work Of
rescue was therefore necessarily difficult.
The cause of the caving in is not positively
known. E. B. Morse, the treasurer OF the
company. says the cause is not certain,
though the scale" or the part of the rock
that fell was probably loosened by freezing.
