ordered to the Cape of Good Hope to

tion. and that 1t will probably be fol-

DR.. Ven Bettichcr. Imperial secretary
Of state for the interior, replied that the
assumption that the authorities had not
done their duty was groundless. He
could not admit that as matter of
course. The law. he said, was applied
without distinction as to the position
or vocation of offenders.
The chancellor, he continued, had Civ
en- earnest consideration to the ques-
ton as to what measures were possible
to ensure respect for the law, but he
had not as yet arrived at any decision.
Therefore communications to the gov
ernment in regard to the matter were
at present inadvisable.

the Coroner Today.
Coroner Longstreet, who had been re-
quested by Mine Inspector Roderick to
investigate Saturdays Olyphant mine
fatality, in which four men We're killed,
went to Olyphant yesterday afternoon.
1t was found that the important wit
nesses were at work in the Eddy Creek
mine, where the disaster occurred, and
that their presence could not be secured
for several hours; consequently, after
impanelling jury, the inquest was
postponed until 10 o'clock this morning
at Olyphant. - ,>,-.-a'''
In mine fatalities a coroner has no
Jurisdiction unless authorized by the
mine inspector. Mine Inspector Roder-
lex himself investigated the case Sat-
urday, but concluded 1t was a matter
which more properly belonged to the
coroner, who was asked on Saturday
night to give 1t his attention. This ac-
counts for the seeming delay.
In Olyphant there does not seem to

sponsibility for the accident Appar-
emily the cause of the immense fall of
roof Is wholly uneXplainable.
