The report of Labor Commissioner
Matthews is nearly ready for the printer.
A great deal of hard work has entered into
it's preparation and it will constitute an
exceedingly valuable contribution to the
official literature of the State. The
report will be largely devoted to
the effect of the prevailing business
depression upon the earnings OF en-
ployes in this State. Returns have
been received from 2a4 manufacturing
establishments. This includes with other
industries the cotton mills and nearly all
the wooden mills of the State. When
running full crews these 224 establish
ments afford employment to 35, 315 hands.
There will also be statement OF the
retail price of the necessaries of life In
Maine compiled from returns from all
PARTS of the State. Returns will also
show that the building Of new manufac-
turing plants has fallen off largely from
the two previous years as result of the
hard times There will be d number OF
other interesting features to the report,
which. like all Of Commissioner Matthews
reports. is sure to be in demand.

In New York State Good, Especially
Grapes, Apples and Pears.
New YORK, April THE Associated
Press has through it's correspondents in
all the counties of New York in which
fruit-raising is an industry of magni-
tude collected data regarding the effect
of the recent cold snap on orchards and
vineyards. In the main trees and vines
wintered well. Only in few locali-
ties was there any considerable damage
done by the cold weather of the last
days of March, and, for the most part.
the injury was restricted to the peach
orchards. Ulster county, in the valley of
the Central Hudson, and Canadaigua
county, suffered most, though even
there the buds are not all blasted.
Cherries and apricots have also been
damaged by the late frosts, but of those
fruits there is still promise of full
average yield. In some localities
strawberry plants have been killed,
but this is not at all general All re.
ports agree that the outlook for fine
yield of grapes was never better at this
season of the year. Apples and pears
also promise we'll.

FAMILY WIPED OUT.
Father, Mother and Four Children Killed
by an EXPLOSION.


OIL CITY, Pa, April 5.-Joseph Kol-
las, his wife and three children, living
in the northern part of the city, were
killed Wednesday night. the result OF
an explosion at Kollas' home. The
whole rear end of the house was blown
away, and Kollas' body was found dis
membered lying beneath the debris.
The head of one of the children was al
most severed from the body. Another
was found near shed, twenty yards
away in horribly mutilatcd condi-
tion.
The child of neighbor, Joseph Fess.
ner, was playing in the yard when
the explosion occurred. She lived for
few minutes, but was frightfully
nangled. Mrs Kollas and one child
who were in the kitchen at the time,
were severely shocked, the mother
dying after being removed to the hos.
pital The baby's eyes were blown out
and it can not recover.
The cause of. the accident is a mys.
terry, some saying it was partly
empty can of nitro-glycerine, while
others say it was a dynamite cap which
Kollas was examining, the latter being
the generally accepted theory.

BUILDING COLLAPSES.
Four Dead and Five Wounded
Taken From the Ruins.
Seven Persons Are Still Missing The vic-
Tins All Colored- An Old Brick Tene-
mont building Falls Down-The
Scenes Attending the Rescue.

MEMPHIS, Tenn, April o. -Four cheap
cofiins laid in row in the morgue, and
five bandaged forms reposing on cots
at the city hospital, represent the dead
and injured taken from the debris of a
tenement building on the northeast
corner of DeSoto and Beale streets, at
T:15 o'clock Sunday morning.
There is no doubt that there are
more bodies beneath the immense pile
of brick, lime, sand and splintered tim
bers that now covers the place where
the building stood, but it is safe to say
that no haste that may be made for re.
covery of the bodies will avail to save
life, for all that were not rescued by
noon Sunday are beyond the reach of
human aid.
The collapse took place at 7:15 o'clock
Sunday morning. 1t was witnessed by
several persons on the outside, and sew
cral of those who were on the inside
survive to relate what little they know
of this one of the most appalling disas-
ters that ever occurred in Memphis.
There was creaking and cracking, a
swaying of walls, then the collapse,
that came with crash. A great cloud
of dust foated out upon the air, filling
the street each way for block, There
was u hurrying forward of the police,
fireman and citizens, and then the
work of rescue began.
All the persons taken from the ruined
building are colored.
The building was erected thirty-four
years ago 1t was of brick, three and
half stories high, with n slate roof.
While it was all one building, it was
divided by thick wall into two COM
partments. The building has never
been condemned as unsafe. Itwas con.
sidered as one of the stanchest of the
older buildings in this CITY,
The scenes attending the rescue were
horrifying in the extreme. The bodies
that were found with life extinct were
all badly crushed, and some of them
were almost nude.
The exact number of lives lost will
not be known until the debris is all
cleared away. There were about fifty
rooms in the tenement, about half of
which were occupied. Twenty-Five
people were known to be in the build
ing at the time of the collapse. OF
these, six escaped without serious
injury, four were taken out dead, five
wounded, and the remainder are miss.

age Into Mexican silver Dollars.

hK6 AutO meNhCuu ChNoE ASOhhnrbs
WASHINGTON, April "A plan to
utilize s50,000,00O Of American silver
yearly and to facilitate our trade rela-
tions with China is what Senator VOL
colts resolution, considered in the
senate Friday, may justly be called. II
authorizes the president to confer with
the Mexican government in order to
obtain permission from that govern
ment to coin Mexican standard dollars
in the United States mints. Tho
seigniorage from the coinage of these
dollars Mr. Wolcott would have paid to
Mexico.
Senators Teller, Dubois and Lodge
favored Mr. Wolcotts resolution Fri
day in earnest speeches, explaining
that the currency question would not
be affected in any manner should the
resolution be adQpted,
The new treaty with China, now
pending before the senate, has in view
an increase of our. trade with that coun-
try. China sells to Great Britain a
great deal more than she buys, and to
pay for teas and silks, which form the
chief part of China's export English
merchants procure Mexican standard
silver dollars. The demand for these
dollars has been so great of late that q
premium has had to be paid for them
in England.
If the trade of the United States with
China grows to the proportions ex-
pected under the new treaty, there will
be the same necessity in the United
States as now exists in Europe for pro-
curing Mexican standard dollars for
our Chinese Imports Senator Wolcotts
proposition, therefore, is timely, and it
is not surprising that it should receive
the endorsement from senators repre-
senting such widely different constitu-
encies as those of Massachusetts, and
Colorado
