Died Soon ATterward-The Others Res
oued Just in Time to Save Them from
Death by sulocation.
WINNIPEG, Man. March l2.-The shaft
house at the famous Sultana gold mine
tDurteen miles from Rat Portage caught
fire last evening, and before the flames
were discovered they completely cnveloped
the building This, of course, shut oil the
air supply TO the mine.
The fire is supposed to have been started
by pipe in the pocket of coat hanging
on the wall. Foreman Johnson noticing
the fire called on the men to assist in put
ling it out, but all ran away, being afraid
Of explosives in the drying room. John
son rushed into the fiery room, removed
two boxes of powder, and then directed
his attention to an attempt to save the
building. There was no fire protection,
and a bucket brigade was organized, but
1t was of no avail, as the shaft house was
completely consumed.
The fire started at 1 o'clock, and until
;80 no effort could possibly be made to as
Bist the men in the shaft. AS soon as the
ruins were sufficiently cooled it was found
that the timbers lining the shaft were
blazing, and water was then directed on
these timbers, but in the excitement the
greater portion was falling uselessly down
the shaft
Shortly after 2 o'clock the fire was ex-
tinguished in the shaft, and the men de-
soended it and found six men on the first
level, apparently all suffocated. They de-
scended to the lower level and found three
more, but these men were in better con-
ditiun than the Others and efforts were
| begun to raise them The first three raised
were suffering badly, but were resusci-
tated after a short time. The fourth man,
| John Lagier, was very low when he arrived
Mt the surface, and died shortly afterwards
| The others were in a critical condition
when brought to the surface but all re
covered excepting Rudolph Erickson, who
died in three hours afterward.
The seven rescued are; Alex Nelson, J
Erickson, p. Strand, w. Prynn Charlie
Edgstrom, G. 9. Peterson and Charlie
| Don.
Prynn, upon examination, was foun,
badly burned on the back 1t seems tn
air shaft ignited and caused suction of al
from the bottom of the shaft, deprivin
the men of fresh air, and also causin
smoke to descend the shaft, and whe
found all were unconscious and leanin
against the side of The shaft. In IA yer
short time all would have been suffocate
to death

THE continued exclusion of American
products from foreign markets on account
OF certain provisions of our new taiiff law
zs one that seriously affects the interests
of the farmers. Our exports of agricul-
aural staples in 1894 were far below those
of auy recent year in value; and these
retaliatory proceedings are calculated to
do further injury to class of citizens
having special claims upon the favor of
the Government. Under the Republican
reciprocity policy, the markets for our
earm products were being gradually ex-
tended, and good prices were being OBJ
Gained for all that we sold; but as soon
as that policy was abolished by Demo
cratic Congress, the demand began to
lessen and the prices to fall. Such re
suit was predicted by the Republicans
and now it is an accomplished fact. The
experiment has been tried and it hal
uurned out to be a failure. There is NJ
room for discussion where we thus hav,
practical and conclusive testimony as t.
the effect of given theory. The farmers
who voted the Democratic ticket in 199
with the belief that they were promoting
their own welfare can readily see tina
they made terrible mistake for tn
proof of it is part OF their personal ex
0erience.

France has coveted Madagascar since

PEELED Madagascar to give her a coaling
station at Diego Suarez and assumed q
partial protectorate, taking care Of NADIA
Rascar's foreign affairs, much against her
will. Flushed with her conquest Of Siam,
France has concluded that the time has
come for the conquest Of more territory;
hence the expedition soon to be dispatched
under General Duchesne's leadership.
In reply to Frances recent ultimatum
Queen Ranayalona III refused Frances
demands for more territory on the island
and insists upon Madagascar's right to
import munitions of war. As the climate
of the lowlanffs is hot and deadly, and as
the Hovas, C. dominant tribe, have an
army as large asthe standing army of the
United States, well trained and equipped
with modern weapons, the little French
army of 5000 or q, 900 men will not find
the subjugation OF Madagascar an easy
task. On several occasions the natives
have routed attacking parties of French
and English, and with months of warning
Queen Ranavalona will doubtless have a
warm reception ready for General Du-
chesne.

Jim Lane, the big burly prisoner,
who was taken at Bertelmann's
house on the night of the 9th,
made a most daring break for lib
erty last night between the hours
of and o'clock.
Lane, with several other prison
ers, has been confined in the large
room above the main entrance to
the police station. For the last
two days he has been "acting
queer" praying and moaning at in
tervals.
Last night at Z 80 a guard took
Lane toward a window in order
that he might get little exercise.
When a few steps away from the
guard he acted as if about to jump
out of the window. This move
ment was quickly perceived, and
Lane coaxed away toward the upper
hall.
No sooner had he reached the
top of the stairs than he made a
wild leap, reaching the first land
ing, a distance of nearly fifteen
feet. Another guard was stationed
at this place, and as he stepped out
to intercept Lane the flying pris-
oner slipped away, and III two
bounds was in front of the narrow
passageway that leads out of doors.
When he reached this place he
fell headlong, but, nothing daunted,
Jumped up and made break past
two guards standing in the passage
way.
When he reached the receiving
room he struck bad luck. II. 5.
Padgett, who was standing there
on guard, lifted his gun and felled
the prisoner to the ground, cutting
q cash in his scalp four inches In
length, above the junction Of the
occipital and parietal bones.
William O'Brien made break
to help Padgett, but succeeded in
getting In the way of another blow
meant for Lane. =
Policemen and guards rushed
from all directions, and Lane was
subdued with the aid of strong
pair of handouts and four stout
men.
DR.. Cooper was sent for at once,
and attempted to sew up the wound
in Lanes scalp. With three men
at his arms and shoulders and
Deputy-Marshal Brown at his
head, Lane was still able to jerk
his head in all directions, making
the operation twice as painful and
very much longer than if he had
behaved himself.
Lane was a sight when conduct
ed to a strong cell downstairs. His
shirt was torn away from his neck
and covered with blood and water
while his tie, which had become
twisted, formed moose around his
neck.
The guards In the hall above say
that Lane had been praying at in
tervals throughout the day and had
just completed a long prayer hall
an hour before his break for liberty,
