JAPAN AS A CIVILIZED NATION.

The United States the First Nation to Of
ficially Recognize Her as Such.
Washington, March 2l.-The most i'm
mediate importante in ths japanese treaty
ratified today is the protocol providing that
a month from today the import tariff now
in operation in Japan affecting American
goods shall cease TO be binding, and Japa-
nese autonomy In customs duties will be
complete. The treaty with the long sought
Japanese judicial control over foreigners
is not effective until July II, 1899. and the
great principle Of recognizing Japan's su-
preme right. as modern civilized nation,
to control her domestic affairs relating to
imports for which the United States has
contended for over ten years, is made i'm
mediately operative. The United States is
the first nation to make this recog milton of
Japan's remarkable progress towards civil
lization, and it is expected that the Official
proclamation of President Cleveland an
nouncing the new treaty will be issued to-
morrow bearing today's date.

-Rescuing Parties Are at WoIk-Build-
ings About the Mine Blown to Atoms.
Evanston, Wy, March 21.-A large
number of miners were killed and in
jured by an explosion last night in the
Rocky Mountain Coal and Iron compa-
ny's mine, No. 5, at Red Canon. Eight
bodies have been recovered, but some of
them are burned beyond recognition. 1t
Is thought that between twenty and for
ty miners were killed.
ALI hopa Of rescuing anybody alive has
been given up.
About $50 men were employed in the
mine, but most of them had gone out.
The covering of the slope and buildings
at the mouth were blown to atoms. The
mine was considered perfectly safe.
Progress was slow as the foul air and
after damp prevented ingress by way of
the several air or escape slopes, with
which a mine of this sort, entering the
hillside at an angle instead of by ver-
tical shaft. is provided. Some three
hours or more after the accident, not far
from nine O'Clock, volunteers tried the
main slope and returned with the two
bodies, bringing also the bad news that
cave-ins barred further progress. This
necessitated the laborious work of re-
moving the Instructions, as the main
passage is some 1900 feet in length and
has lateral galleries or drifts on nine
different levels, each of which is from a
mile to mile and half long. To reach
this and discover If any victims were
entombed therein, will require some
days.
:. Owing to the excitement it is impossi-
bic to learn of the safety of all who had
left the workings early. Until this is
known it is not possible to tell how
many the victims may NUM- ber. All hope
that any can now be rescued alive has
been abandoned. AS fast as bodies were
recovered they were laid out In the
blacksmith shop which became morgue
for all that was left Of the mangled vic
Tins.
Later-Sixty men perished in the Red
Canon mine disaster and fifty-one were
married with large families. A bout
thirty OF the men killed belong to the
A. o. U. w., and were insured for 80, 900
each. Today eleven more bodies were
recovered. The work of recovering the
bodies is being pushed as rapidly as pos
sible. but the work is attended with
great peril. The first of the miners who
ventured to face the fire damp and
crum bling walls were overcome had to
be rescued by others. The terrific force
of the explosion blew che heavily tim
bered shed over the mouth of the slope
and over the passageway leading out to
the tipple clear into space, moving down
the tops of the power house tipple shed
and other buildings at the mo nth of the
slope.

Laguayra today.
He spoke of the recent events in Venezu-
ella. where he has been for some time. He
said: THE people were on the verge of
star ting another revolution to turn out
Gen. .Crespo. The trouble over the disputed
boundary question with England and the
dismissal OF the French and Belgian minis
ters have changed their political action. 1t
was felt that the dignity OF the country was
outraged by their conduct. The people
personal yiolencea would be done to the
ministers. To such high pitch had the ex-
citement reached that President Crespo
placed military guard about the residence
| of the ministers and caused the imprison-
| ment of a number Of people. The most
prominent man arrested was Gen. Guam
uOIIis an Olu general IN tne AepuDllCan
forces who fought for Crespo. He was still
il prison when the Philadelphia left Lagu-
agra. He is getting people aroused almost
TO an open outbreak against the ministers.
1t was thought for a time that the people
would kill the ministers and the people
have determined to sustain Crespo in his
| action in dismissing the ministers, no mat
ter what the consequences may be oven II
they are forced to fight for their country's
honor. The people are in favor of settling
the disputed boundary question with Eng
land by arbitration and fell profoundly
grateful to the people and Congress Of this
country for tho stand they have taken in
upholding Venezuela's claim TO arbitration.
They say that the United States is the only
country that can prevent England from
| swallowing up Venezuela and the other
Central and South American republics.
They bless the Monroe doctrine and were
| stirred profoundly by the speeches in the
Washington Congress demanding arbitra-
tion. They are now circulating petition
of thanks to be sent to those Congressman
who championed their cause. The people
say that England does not want arbitration,
but wishes to seize the territory.
