WILL. TURN OUT ALL RIGHT.
As part of Irby's fight It Is proposed
that this convention provide for appro-
prlatlons Of the State for the coming
year and avoid the necessity for any ses-
sfon of the legislature. The object OF
this Is to force this convention to com
plete any suffrage plan It may adopt. This
body Is moderate and non-fartisan, where
"a il is feared that the legislature Is con-
trollod by Ben TIllman and Governor
Evans and that It viii build on what
ever constitutional provisions may be
adopted u law which will give the gov
ernor absolute control Of the election MA

dread this and will combine with num-
Der OF moderate reforiners TO prevent II

in one way or another this convention
will prevent as far as possible any leg

NO AGREEMENT REACHED.
PACIFIC MAIL AND PAN-AMERICAN
RAILROAD PEOPLE COME TO
NO TERMS.
The Drop Came by the Refusal of
the Pacific Mail Folks to Take
on the Atlantic Steamers.
The Result is Waited For.

NEW YORK. March 2l.-The prospect OF
the Pan American railroad and Pacific
mail steamship company reaching an
agreement Is not so favorable as IL was
some time ago, for the company has lust
Sgntied its intention not to take Atlantic
vessels out for the Pacific mail under the
circumstances. The question was settled
last night when the Columbian line, which
is owned by the Pam American company,
passed outright the vessels OF the old
Brazilian steamship line, the Alliance,
Defiance and Advance, which the COlum-
bia line had merely chartered up to this
time. The Pacific mail officials have been
counting all along upon the PAN Ameri.
can taking the formers Atlantic fleet and
the delay was supposed TO he due to the
action OF the Pan American directors,
who wished more time for the CON
SlderatiOn OF the proposed agree
ment, and from the fact that the
charter Of the Brazil line was
renewed until Apri! l. Il was a part Of
the proposed deal that the Pacific mail
company should withdraw from the At
lanttc service, leaving the Columbian line
In full control of the trade between New
York and Colon. There was no dispute
on that point. 1t was also agreed that
the Pan American railroad company
should be accorded the right to name
west bound rates. The Pacific mail COM
pany had their right on East bound traffic.
All of the main points of the alliance, in
fact, were agreed upon and rates were to
be restored to paying basis again. But
IT seems that Mr.. Huntington counted
upon the Columbian line taking the Pa
citic mail vessels on the Atlantic and
thong bit it was simply question of terms.
One of the chief objections argued against
the purchase was that the Pacific mail
vessels cost great deal more to operate
than the old Brazilian line boats and II
claimed that the future of the trade did
not warrant the heavy expense. The
outcome OF the negotiations will now be
watched with doubt and interest, il. ia
fact, they are not broken off and hoStili-

ANOTHER MINE HORROR.
EXPLOSION KILLS MANY MINERS IN
WYOMING.
Eighty Men Entombed Alive-The
Surrounding Country Shak-
en- as by an Earth
quake.

SALT LAKE, March 2l.-A special to the
Tribune from Red Canyon says a terrible
explosion at Rocky Mountain Mine No. ;,
at Red Canyon. Wyoming, is believed TO
have killed eighty men, who are impriSot =
ed in the mine, in addition to ten who
were in the power house above ground or
near the shaft opening
The slopes and entrances TO the lower
workings are all locked by wreckage and
it is thought at least three days will be
required for the rescue parties to reach
the bodies in the mine.
The horror occurred at 5'45 yesterday
evening and shook the whole country
round, wrecked the power y ant and sew
eral other buildings, entaillng a heavy
loss, but the death roll far overShadowS
all other considerations. Edwin Cox, car
penter, James Bruce, outside boss, James
w Clark. w. Sellers, Jr., and James
Gentry, an Austrian, were killed in the
power house. while o. Maltby, foreman,
Jerry Crawford and Andrew Mason, in
jured, die d soon afterward. A few hours
later the dead bodies OF James Limb and
Fred. Morgan were brought from the
slope only a short distance down.
No one. after seeing the CHASTITY spec
tacle presented by these bodies, could
have hopes OF any in the mine being alive.
Immediately after the explosion, Super
intendent Bradbury autographed to
Evanston for all physicians to come with
an extra train. Brave men had tried
to descend some OF the air and
escape stops without success aud
il was not until three hours after
the explosion that volunteer party en-
tered the main entrance TO the slopes and
soon afterwards returned with two bod
les. They reported that cave-inS stopped
further progress. Then party went
down to shovel out the caves, after which
the searching party again entered and
work in that line is now going on. IRIS
slope being down 900 feet with the mine
levels, each one and one half miles long,
it will probably require several days TO
reach all parts Of the mine. A number OF
men had come out and some had just left
the entrance to the mine slope away from
the working tunnels when the explosion
occurred, thus escaping death.
Many families are bereft of fathers or
sons. A more sorrowful community could
not be found, wOm-n, children and men
mourning the loss of husbands, fathers or
brothers.
The explosion Is described by many as
most terrific. shaking the whole town
and'causing women and children to run in
to the streets crying. "Oh, my husband :"
"Oh, my papa with upifted hands i'm
plOrIng for the safety Of their loved ones.
The explosion is supposed to haVe;cOme
from a blast setting lie TO the dust, maxi
ing a dust explosion, since the mine was

mire manager, has arrived from Salt
Lake and Is doing all he can for the in
