The silver men of Kentucky have
good reason for claiming that the ap-

MINERS ENTOMBED.
Thirty. three Lives Lost in the
Copper District.
Fire Causes an Appalling Catastrophe
at the 0sceola.

Calumet, Mich, Sept. 0.--Never in the
history of the Lake Superior copper
mines has there been so appalling an
accident as occurred at the Osceola
mine, two miles from here. late Satur-
day afternoon. Thirty three miners
were cut off from escape by smoke from
a fire which started in the twenty-sev-
enth or lowest level.
The names of those known to have
been in the shaft are:
Richard Trenbath Richard Bickel, Thorn.
as Curtis, Richard Granville, William Bry-
ant, James d. Harrington, Alex Daniel
Joseph Slutta, Fred Pearten Ole Stromgoe,
John Watson, Isaac Harvey, Walter Dowell,
Robert Johns; Michael Loyeland,, Michael
Cudlip, Anton Winzia, Andrew Ross Steve
Bythbac, Michael Slutta, Peter Malm-
strong, Barney Hellner, William Donnell,
Michael Schultz, James Williams, Anton
SeWick.
AT the time the alarm was sounded
over 200 miners were underground, and
all could have escaped had they used
proper precaution. Several miners, in
their flight, passed Il group of seven or
eight men who had stopped to rest and
were smoking their pipes. They seemed
to be in no hurry. When told to hurry
to the surface they remarked that they
had plenty of time, and not one of them
reached the surface. The skips were
kept running up and down all day Sat-
urday in ORDER to give any of the en-
tombed miners q chance to escape if they
could reach the skip alive, but none came
up. Another attempt will be made to
reach the men tomorrow morning.
There is no danger of the bodies be,
ing burned, as it is generally thought
that the men esca ped from the burning
shaft to some of the drifts leading to
other shafts and were overcome by gas
and smoke before they could reach
place of safety. This being the case the
bodies will be recovered as soon as the
the mine.
The shaft has been surrounded all day
by thousands of persons, all hoping for
some sign or word from the men, but all
have returned to their homes fearing the
worst. All hope has been given up by
the officials of ever rescuing any of the
men alive.
In places tia timbering of the mine is
very damp from the water trickling
through a thousand crevices into the
shaft, while in some of the drifts it is
as dry as finder. The only precedents
from which the probable duration of the
fire can be guessed are supplied by the
three big fires which have rayaged the
Calumet & Hecla mine. The greatest of
these burned for months, and was eX-
.tinguished only by flooding the mine
with water and carbonic acid gas.
There being less tinberiEg in the Osce-
OLA the fire will probably not spread far
from No. 3 shaft, but it may smolder
for weeks There are not lacking indi-
cations that the fire was of incendiary

GOES TO SUPREME COURT.
Government Anxious to Have the.
Sugar Bounty Decision
Passed Upon.

Washington, D. c., Sept 6.-There-
seems to be no doubt that the Oxnard
Sugar bounty question, which was yes
terday decided by Comptroller Bowler
adversely to the Oxnard company on
constitutional grounds, will go to the
Supreme court of the United States for,
final determination. Within the next
few days Secretary Carlisle will certify
the case to the court of claims under Sec
ton 1868 of the revised statutes, stat
ing to the court that it is alleged by the
claimants that right under the consti-
tuion has been denied them and ask
ing that, as public interests are involved,
the court pass upon the matter at an ear
ly day. Under the rules of the court the
claimants might put off making their APP
pearance for more than six months, but
there seems to be no reasonable doubt
that the Oxnard company will favor an
early adjudication, although Senator CAT
ferry, it is understood, has protested
against being forced into the courts on
the questions involved. In the meantime
all claims for bounty under the appropri-
alton will be held up pending final de-
termination by the Supreme court of the
question Of the constitutionality of the
apprOpria ton.

Negaunee, Mich, Sept. 7.1SpeciaL] !
A number of striking miners assembled at
the depots here this morning to ascertain
whether any more nonunion men were
coming IN to take their places in the
mines. AS soon as the trains stopped they
rushed into the coaches in quick order.
NO men arrived, however.
Ibis morning the pumpmen who came
down from Republic to take Jobs here.
were induced to not so to work, the men
having fallen into the hands of the strik-
ers before they called on the mine man
ayers who had employed them.
The strikers are trying to arrange a
meeting with the railroad men who are
handling the ore for the mining COM
panies. They desire to get the trainmen
out and have asked that the latter meet
delegation of strikers in a conference
Sunday. 1t is not probable that he strik-
ers will meet with success in bringing
the railroad men, as the latter say they
have been idle long enough on account of
the strike. Many of the trainmen think
the strikers chances of bringing the COM
panles to time are not very good, hence
they do not think it would be advisable,
for them to join in the cause
Sixteen nonunion men from outside ar
rived here at 10 o'clock this forenoon to.
work for the Buffalo Mining company.
The train was stopped at the mine, mile
from the station, and the men got off IN

TEMPLE IN FLAMES.
Costly Masonic Structure Re-
duced to Ruins This
Morning.

Boston, Mass, Sept. 7.-Masonic Tenn
pie, one of the finest Masonic buildings
in the United States, was almost entire
ly destroyed by fire today. The building
was magnifcently furnished and the loss
will probably reach $300000 The fire
was discovered by a passer-by at 1905
and few moments later an alarm from
box SO, noted as being located in one
of the most dangerous fire districts in
the city, was sent in. At almost the
same time an alarm was sent in from
box 129, in the Parker house, and all
the fire apparatus down town hurried to
the scenes of the two fires. The blaze at
the Parker house proved to be trivial.
but the confusion resulting from the al
most simultaneous alarms, gave the fire
III the temple q good start before the ap-
paratuS arrived.
District Chief Reagan, who was on
top of the tower on the fremont street
side of the building, found the flames
curling up around him and was forced
to jump to the roof, almost twenty feet
below. He escaped uninjured About
the same time a tube on chemical engine
No. 2 exploded and Lieut.. Madden, who
was working on the engine, was thrown
to the ground and probably fatally in
jured. He struck on his head and it
was believed his skull was fractured
An investigation shows that above the
second floor the temple is practically de-
stroyed, while considerable damage was
caused at the rear of the building on the
second floor. The library, one of the most
valuable in the country, and the museum
of relics on the second floor escaped seri-
Gus damage. All of the regalia rooms on

Twenty-six lodges and Communicates

accurate estimate of the loss because of
the many interests represented. but it
is believed that it will reach 100000.
The building was insured for $165.000,
and it is estimated the structure is dam
aged to the extent of 100000 Almost
1000 regalias are believed to be de-
destroyed and the loss on these will
reach over $4,000 The furniture and

Methodist Clergy in Chicago will Not

Anarchists.

Chicago, H., Sept. 9.-Keir Hardie,
the English labor leader, sadly disturbed
the usually sedate weekly meeting of
Methodist clergymen today by red-hot
Socialistic speech, and was greeted with
such a storm CT ministerial disapproval
that he was compelled to abandon the

dress the preachers and, with several
local socialists, attended the meeting.
The Englishman began to air his views,
loudly applauded by his friends, and
finally bitterly denounced the execution
Of the Chicago Anarchists and eulogized
them as pioneers in the new religion. The
storm which greeted the statement almost
carried Hardie off his feet. A half dozen
preachers at a time bitterly denounced
the sentiments expressed, and the speaker
was compelled TO sit down. The min
listers then proceeded with a scathing de
nunciatiOn of speech and speaker, and
Hardie left. much offended.
