]. the St. Paul Auditorium.
ST. PAUL, July 18.-It was 11:15
when Hon. w. NJ. Lawrence took the

stroy every vestige of the legalized

m ade short address. He said the
convention had gathered for work and
he had no speech at present. The
Democratic party simply let's the liquor
question alone. The Republicans help
it on and the Populists want to nation
alizs it, but tho Prohibition party
stands for the total humiliation of the
nefarious business.
Nominations for chairman were then
called for, and Mr.. Lansing of Mime
apolis nominated Daniel w. Doty for
chairman. and he was UNANIMOUSLY
chosen.
On assuming the chair, Mr.. Doty
made speech, in which he said he
would rather be riding along on the
old-fashioned tow canal of years ago
and lie right than to ride on Jim Hills
new steamer and be wrong. Other con.
ventions had been held, but none will
excel in point of enthusiasm. Ladies

''for we have lady delegates here, what
is your further wishY'

from all portions of Montana are to the

A TERRIBLE SIGHT
Victims Of the Pennsylvania Min

:. Countless Pieces, .
AT LEAST A DOZEN PERISHED
Further Details of the Battle Be-
tween Miners and Deputies
at Birmingham.

HAZELToN, Pa, July 1.-two hun
dred sticks of giant powder exploded in
the midst of gang of miners at Stock
ton colliery No. 8, and not enough of
the mems bodies was left for identified
ton. On account of the distance of
the Stockton colliery from the main
breaker, it has been customary to send
the dynamite and other explosives in
boxes to No. 8, and distribute them to
the workmen at the bottom of the Sec
on d shaft as they appear in the morn
ing on their way to work. It was
Charles O'Donnell's duty to distribute
the dynamite and caps. The first men
to go down into the shaft were the
drivers and these are the only ones to
return alive from the opening. How
many men or who they were who fol-
lowed in the next box will not be known
until list OF the living is taken, but it
is thought there were at least dozen.
Paralyzed With Fright.
The drivers went into the stables to
harness their mules, and it was while
they were thus engaged the explosion
took place. Charles Shugert says he
saw a bout u dozen men standing about
O'Donnell, receiving their powder, a
moment before the explosion took
place. The drivers were hurled about
promiscuously. The men were para
lyzed with fright, and fearing an ex.
plosion of gas had taken place, and
that d collapse of the entire mine was
about to follow, they waited for death
as though paralyzed. 1t was in this
position that they were found by some
miners from No. 2, who had fastened
through the subterranean passageways
to No. 3. AS soon as lights were seen,
the demoralized drivers fastened to the
bottom of the shaft. There the terrible
sight met their gaze. Strewn over the
twisted and torn timbers were
Fragments of Human Flesh
and bones, and limbs of unfortunate
miners. The men were too much
affected to attempt to remove the re-
mains of the dead. Rescuing parties
were quickly formed, and, headed by
Superintendent Roderick, a corps of
miners descended into the mine. The
work of recovering the bodies was at
once begun, but it was a difficult task.
Fragments of human flesh were found
some distance up the slope, clinging to
the rails and ties and sticking to the
roof, while everywhere were bones and
limbs. At this hour not enough has
been found of the todies to make
recognition possible. It is believed
that at least dozen men are blown to
pieces.

FAILED TO AGREE.
Democratic Conferees on the Tar
iff Bill Cannot Effect a
Compromise. r..
DIVIDED ON LEADING QUESTIONS
Republican Members Present at a
Meeting and the Situation
Explained.

WASHINGTON, July 18.-The first
formal conference on the tariff hill,
with all the senate and house members,
both Democrats and Republicans, pres
ent, was held during the day and con-
tinued only about an hour.
The proceedings Of the full confer
ence consisted in an effort on the part
of the Democratic members to enlighten
their Republican colleagues upon the
elements of disagreement between the
Democratic members of the two houses,
without revealing the methods by
which they have sought to get together
or the details Of the proceedings of the
Democratic conferences.
It had been expected that the Repub-
lcan conferees would at the outset in
dulge in some criticism on having been
kept out of the conference during it's
initial stages, but the
Republicans Had Little to Say
beyond formal greetings and waited
until Senator Voorhees,, as head of tho
Democratic conferees, made a some
what formal and full statement of the
situation. He said that no discourtesy
to the Republicans had been intended.
The meetings had not been conference
meetings, but had been confined to an
effort to bring about some settled policy
among the Democratic conferees. Sem
ator Voorhees, added that he was frank
to confess that the efforts toward
agreement had not proved successful.
The features OF disagreement were then
gone into at considerable length by Mr..
Voorhees, and his associates. They
stated that the sugar, coal, metal,
wooden and cotton schedules had been
the chief bones of contention, but did
not give particulars in any case except
that of sugar, with reference to which
they stated that the house members
had indicated a willingness to grant
some duty on that article, but had OBJ
jected to the d1fferential duty on re-
fined sugar.
Will Report a Disagreement.
AS result Of the days meeting the
Republican conferees concluded that a
! general disagreement would be re-
ported to both houses within few
| days. There were no distinct state
ments or propositions to this effect, but
it appeared to be the only conclusion to
! be drawn from what had occurred.
| Senator Aldrich and Mr.. Reed said
there would be no disposition on the
part of the Repu blicans to delay re-
port of disagreement. At the. close of
| the meeting Chairman Wilson stated
that no exact plan was in view for re-
porting back to congress. 1t is believed,
| however, that a plan will lie developed
soon and that the report of disagree
ment will be made to the senate and
house within the next two days.
