Killed NV an Avalanche

SaltLake City, March ga disastrous
snowslide swept down early Sunday
morning upon the works of the
Daily mine at Park City, burying eight
men under the crushing volume of
snow. -Four of the men were recovered
and resuscitated. The names of the
dead are: James W. Heating, n. Rus
sato. Nicholas Paffin and Joseph yucca.
The four men who were alive were more
or less injured, although they are likely
to recover. Their names are: Thomas
Hodges, Harry Finney, James Mailman
and Charles MaIEison. The eight men
were asleep when the awful avalanche
struck their cabin and carried it and
everything else in its path for hundreds
of feet, until it reached the mill of the
DAILY Mining company, demolishing the
engines. boilers and doing damage to
the extent of $4,000.

THE LExoW COMMITTEES.
Result of It's Investigation of Trusts
and Combines.

Albany, n. T., March 0. - The report
of the Lexow investigating committee
was presented to the senate Tuesday.
The testimony taken before the commit
tee is reviewed at length, and while no
special drive is made against any indi-
vidaIal trust, the committee treats all
of the combines investigated alike.
They found that these combinations to
restrict the necessaries of life do ex-
list, and that the aggregations of capital
which have been formed were organized
in nearly every instance for the pur-
pose of regulating trade, suppressing
competition, controlling the output and
debating prices. The report dwells at
length upon the great danger that is
likely to arise from the con tinuance of
these aggregations of capital and pro-
tests that affirmative legislation should
be enacted with view of restraining,
if not entirely prohibiting. the opera
tion of such monster combines. The
report states that the committee be-
iieves the factors agreement between
the trusts and their agents are to a
great extent the potential agency
through which these combinations are
enabled to fulfill the purpose of their
organizations.

A Big Cuban ytctorv.

Havana, March s. = Two thousand
Spaniards under Gen. Vara del Rey
were defeated by the Cubans under Gen.
Calixto Garcia at Manzanillo february
25. Gen. Nara del Rey confesses his dis
aster. though finding an excuse in the
superior number of the Cubans and the
advantage of their position. In his re-
port he says his column contained only
$500 men, and he estimates the Cubars
at more than 5000. The Spanish dead.
he says, were 500. Vara del Rey mar
rowly escaped being captured. The
fight lasted eight hours. The Spaniards
took two hours to cross the river and
they behaved with great courage dur
ing all the battle. The battle was di-
rected by Gen. Garcia in person. The
Cubans captured 500 rifles, one cannon
and 100000 rounds of ammunition, be-
sides large stock of provisions.

HE INAUGURATION eALl.
A Brilliant Affair i'm Connection with
McI>inIeN's Installation.

Washington, March 5.-The inaugural
ball was a brilliant and notable feature
of the festivities connected with the in
staIlation of President Mckinley. That
no more admirable place could have
been selected for the affair than the pen
sion building was proved Thursday
evening. Its spacious interior was
somew hat crowded with well-dressed
humanity, but in view of the fact that
no larger place was obtaiDable, that
cannot be considered a basis for criti-
cism. just before eight o'clock, the
hour set for the function to begin, the
current governing the electric lights
was turned on and the wi,le, broad and
high interior was transformed into
fairyland. From dome and gallery and
from pillar, post and rafter thousands
of luminous CLEANS came forth. bring
ing into view the results that an army of
decorators had labored so long to OBJ
tain. More than 100000 yards of cloth
had been used in the drapery; 5000 in
candescent and so arc lights had been
wired and established in their proper
places, and 10000 roses, not to speak of
yards upon yards of smilax and other
foliage plants had been arranged in
the most artistic manner.
The appearance of the president and
Mrs. Mckinley and the vice president
and Mrs. Hobart was the feature of the
evening. II was 9:40 o'clock when Pres
ident and Mrs. Mckinley, accompanied
by the private secretary TO the presi-
dent, Mr.. j. Addison Porter, and Mr..
Charles J. Bell, the chairman of the
inaugural committee, arrived. The
crowd downstairs had grown impatient
for a sight of the presidential party,
and in response to their oyertures the
president and vice president. accom-
panied by their wives, walked out to the
balcony overlooking the floor. They
were repeatedly cheered by The ladies
and gentlemen, who to the number of
5000 crowded the open space beneath.
The distinguished quartette bowed
their acknowledgements, the band played
an inspiring air and the ball was fairly
oDened

M'KIhLeY'S CABINET.

Washington, March 9. = President
Mckinley Friday sent TO the senate the
following nominations:

tary of the treasury.

James Wilson, of Iowa. TO be secretary
OF agriculture
The senate confirmed Mr.. Sherman
rs secretary of state and took a recess.
The other cabinet nominations were
referred TO the proper committees, and
they at once took them under consider

ate is to confirm any man who has been

Immediately acted on.
In the afternoon the senate took up
the nominations which had been re-
ferred to committees and al were con-
firmed. Silver senator's took occasion
TO criticise the position taken by Mr..
Gage on the silver question, and the APP
pointment Of Mr.. Bliss was found fault
with on the ground that he lacked legal
training, a quality said to be absolutely
necessary in one who would administer
the interior department successfully.
Washington, March s.-The swearing
in of all the members of the cabinet ex-
cept Mr.. Gage, secretary of the treas
ury, in body at the white house Satur-
day, was a pleasant departure from
the usual routine in connection with a
change of administration. Heretofore
il has been the custom to administer the
oath of Office to the new secretaries at
their respective departments, generally
by the chief justice of the supreme
court of the United States, but the coin
cident presence of the members of the
court and of the cabinet at the executive
mansion made the unusual incident not
only possible, but highly appropriate.
Chief Justice Fuller, accompanied by
Clerk McKenna. drove t. the treasury
department, where Secretary Gage had
been detained by company of visitors,
largely from Chicago, numbering over
200. In the presence of these the OATH
of Office was administered to the new
secretary.

THE REPLY OF GREECE.
Refuses to Heed Demands of the
Great Powers.

Great Powers.
London, March @. - The Chronicle
publishes dispatch from Athens Civ
ing the full text of the reply of Greece
to the powers.
The Greek reply is characterized by
four points. In the first place, it is con-
ciliatory in tone, fully recognizing the
high aims of the powers. Secondly, it
offers to withdraw the Greek feet from
Cretan waters. Thirdly, while pointing
out that it is impossible to withdraw
the Greek troops from the island of
Crete, it offers to place them under
the control of the powers to restore or
der. Finally the reply meets the state
ments about the Cretans really prefer
ring autonomy by suggesting that the
Cretans be allowed to choose their own
government.
The Chronicle adds on high authority
that the Greek ENJOYS abroad have been
instructed on receipt of the reply to in
form the government to which they are
accredited that Greece is prepared to
recognize the temporary suzerainty of
the sultan, to withdraw her fleet COM

CANNON EXPLAINS.
Tells the why of the Last Billion
Dollar Congress.


Washington, March 9.-The congress
sional record contains a statement
made by the chairman of the house
committee on appropriations, Mr.. Jo-
seph G.. Cannon, of Illinois, relative
to the appropriation made by the Fiji
ty-fourth congress. Mr. Cannon's state
ment is in part as follows:
The total appropriations OF the two ses-
sions of this congress aggregate H.O43, 49,

both branches. with n democratic execu-
tive. amounted according TO the official
tables to s9Sa 23e 60. To this sum, how

third congress up to $685.. &c ,205 SO. or s4q.

In explanation of this apparent excess of
appropriations by the Fifty-fourth con-
grsss over those of the Fifty-third con-
gress. IL should be stated that the Fifty
fourth congress made increases over Its
immediate predecessor on account of forth
dcations in the sum of 81. 5e3, 467: on ac-
count of river and harbor works. in
Guiding contracts therefor. in the sum Of

gas which leaked from the two great
six-inch mains which cross the subway
at the corner of fremont and Boylston
streets, killed six, injured two prob
ably fatally. and nearly so other per-
sons at 11:45 o'clock Thursday. A boom
like that of cannon was followed by
smoke which seemed TO rise from the
very bowels of the earth and then flames
shot upward and blazed in the midst of
the thoroughfares where there is more
travel than anywhere else in given
section of the city.

that it was started by a spark from the
