up the lantern ne perceived rnau somc-
thing extraordinary had taken place,
On either side OF the entrance to the
shaft were the bodies Of mcn-two Of
them had apparently been hurled
against the wall Of the arena with ter
rifle force, for their bodies were dislo-
Gated and their skulls fractured, and
they were covered with a blue mould
that made their faces indistinguish-
able. A few seconds later the condi-
ton OF the arena disclosed the dcstruc-
ton that had taken place. The resi-
dences on the western wall were shat
tered and in ruins. The machinery OF
the great dynamo stood out gaunt and
awry like the bones Of corpse from
which the flesh had been suddenly
torn away. Not sound was heard.
Here and there bodies lay exposed
upon the floor Of the arena with the
clothes torn from them.
Word was Immediately sent above
for men and lights, and Il strong recon-
noitering force was with difficulty
lowered into the cave.
Then the full extent OF the appalling
disaster was investigated. Stocking
forced his way with some difficulty into
the rooms where he hadspcnt SO many
hours, and there with the lanterns OF
the men held high and throwing n dis
NAL eifulgencc on the scene he saw In
extricably mingled with the debris of
the place the members OF the group to
whom Calicot had communicated the
last words. All wore the same hor.
riblc mask of blue mold. Hendricks

necl, was dislocatcd and his head hung
down upon the side Of lis body. Cali.

alone had escaped the blast Of dlsilgur-
Ing color; his face wore grim smile
and In his hand wcs pad covered

Stocking wrcnched it from the dead
fingers and held it to the lantern. In
distorted hand was written "All

you and the country. 1t was my duty.

Shocked beyond all power Of speech,
Stocking silently secured the papers,
and went with the party through the
coal passage to the mouth OF thc ro'
tunda and there the most stupcndons
feature Of this unprecedented tragedy
was revealed
The whole of that great space was Gov
cred with blue corpscs, in every conceiv-
able attitude Of sudden death, blue

and still dopositing its sulphur ard

A CIRCULAR.
Er. Carlisle Gives Intructions on
Section 6 Of the New Tariff Bill
UNCERTAINTY ABOUT The SECTION.
Detailed Descriptions Forwarded to Immi-
grafton Commissioners OF Twenty-six
Anarchists Expelled from France
Who Are Coming Here.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 5. -Secretary Car
Isle yesterday afternoon issued an
official circular regarding the marking,
etc, Of goods under section $ Of the
new tariff law, in regard to which
much uncertainty of construction has
existed. After quoting the section in
extenso, the secretary says:
This section differs from section Q Of the act
Of October |, 1850 (McKinlcy law In requiring
u statement Of the quantity OF contents and ii
Withholding delivery Of goods until the,
Sail be duly married, etc.
n order to afford u reasonable time for com
p.iinco with the above section, 1t will be en-
fcicel, so fur Us relates to the statement Of
Quantities, only upon that merchandise
shipped from abroad after August %, 1891.
The department holds the indication OF TIT
ctantry OF origin under this section, need MOI
necessarily be restricted to the declaration o.
the name Of such country, but may be accepted
under whatever form, provided the goods con-
tain unmlstakable evidence Of their origin
without misleading marks and signs.
1t is further held the requirement In respect
to quantity Of contents applies only to pack
ages. and not to separate articles To interpret
the section otherwise would involve TIT
measurement OF every spool Of cotton and the
gauging OF every bottle OF wine. 1t may be In
fcrred the purpose OF this enactment was TIT
| protection Of the consumer from the loss
| through fraudulent overstatement of the number
Or quantities Of articles contained In any i'm
ported package offered for sale.
| Certain classes OF goods are, respectively
put up in packages Of recognized and uniform
quantities. A mere inspection Of such pack
ages will suffice to determine the fact Of theii
conformity <r non-coniormity, as the case may
be, with established practice Of the trade
| II the former condition Is manifest, no further
"indcution' Of the quantity Of contents Il
needed as for example, ordinary bags Of cofet
ind barrels OF flour have regular Sizes ant
capabilities and do not require explicit state
ments In order to indicate the quantity OF con

etrue the section that without an invasion O.

should enable the farmer to fatten a
few head Of beeyes every year. The
local markets, including Denver and
Pueblo, always demand at the high
est prices such products. The ferti-
lizers resulting from such operations,
together with the rotation after
alfalfa, will sustain the very highest
fertility. Irrigation will itself almost
maintain the virgin fertility of the
soil.
Work horses, mich cows, stock
hogs and poultry, can be purchased
at reasonable prices in the valley.
Farming implements, dry goods,
groceries, clothing, etc, can be pro-
cured at Alamosa at Chicago prices
and about ten per cent additional.
There are scattering farmers, towns
and settlements, and a total popula-
ton in the valley, altogether, Of about
$4,000 people.
The farmer should have at least
100000 in cash when he arrives in the
valley, and, it is presumed, bedding,
clothing, and a few articles of indis-
pensable furniture besides. II SO pro-
vided, he can join with some neigh
Dor in the purchase of team-horses,
wagon and harness-plow and harrow,
which will cost him for his share,
$4,000. Material for a house and
stable, $4,000; seed, $500; two cows,
$500; poultry, $1,000; groceries,
ETC., $4,000. This will carry the
family through until the garden and
the harvest field will make their re-
turns. More cows can be purchased
on six or twelve months time, so also
can part Of the purchase money OH
the team and wagon be deferred. OF
course with such limited means the
accommodations would be primitive,
but will serve to keep the family COM
Portable until returns from crops are
made. Superintendent are provided

ditions, and will advise and instruct
