THE ADDRESS OF THE POWERS
Join In Friendly COmmunica ton
In the Interest of Pence.

Washington, April THE representa-
tives of the six powers of Europe seeking
to avert war between Spain and the
United States, called on the president at
noon today. The governments of Great
Britain, France, Germany, Russia, Aus
tria and Italy were represented. Within
a few minutes all the ambassadors had
been ushered into the blue room and the
president Immediately left his office and
went down to meet them.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, as representative
of the powers, presented the following:
"The undersigned, representatives of
Germany, Austria Hungary, France,
Great Britain, Italy and Russia, duly au-
thorized in that behalf, address, in the
name of their respective governments, a
pressing appeal to the feelings of human
ity and moderation of the president and
of the American people in their existing
differences with Spain. They earnestly
hope that further negotiations will lead
to an agreement which while securing the
maintenance of peace, will afford all nee
essary guarantees for the re-establishment
of peace in Cuba. The powers do not
doubt that the humanitarian and purely
disinterested character of this representa-
ton will be fully recognized and appreci-
ated by the American nation"
President Mckinley replied as follows:
"The government of the United States
recognizes the good will which has
prompted the friendly communication of
the representatives of Germany, Austria
Hungary, France, Great Britain, Italy
and Russia, as set forth in the address of
your excellencies, and shares the hope
therein expressed that the outcome of the
situation in Cuba may be the mainte-
nance of peace between the United States
and Spain, affording the necessary guar
antee for the establishment of order in
the island, 50 terminating the chronic con-
dition of disturbance there which so deep
ly I'M lures the interests and menaces the
tranquility of the American nation, by
the character and consequences of the
struggle thus kept up at our doors, be-
sides shocking its sentiment of human
ity.
"The government of the United States
appreciates the humanitarian and disin-
terested character of the communica ton
now made on behalf of the powers named,
and for its part is confident that equal
appreciation will be shown for its own
earnest and unselfish endeavors to fulfill
the duty to humanity by ending a situa-
ton the indefinite prolongation of which
has become insufferable."
The call was quite brief and at 1920 p.
m. the representatives of the powers went
over to the state department and made
an official visit. Their entire official
suites of attaches accompanied them. The
call evidently was by appointment, for
they were at once shown into the diplo-
matte room, where they were joined by
Secretary Sherman and Assistant Secre-
tary Day, with whom they were closeted.
Inquiry at several embassies and lega-
ton shows that the reply of President
Mckinley has created most favorable
impression among the ambassadors and
ministers. 1t was eabled Immediately to
London, Paris and all other European
capitals.

AVALANCHE ON THE PASS
DEAD UNDER MOUNTAIN SNOW
Two Hundred People Overtaken by
Slide on the Trafl-Hundreds of
Men mt Work in Relays ShOveling
Away the Debris in Search of the
Dead and the Dying.

Skaguay, Alaska, April (via Seattle,
Chilkoot trail between The Scales and
Stone House at least 100 men met death,
and large number of others were in
jured more OF less seriously, in a snow
slide. The dead were crushed under an
avalanche of snow and ice, which came
down from the mountain side upon the
left hand side of the trail about midway
between The Scales and Stone House
Sixtynine dead bodies have been thus
far recovered, and the names of $50 miss
ing ones have been reported as unaccount-
ed for 1t is barely possible that some of
these had succeeded in crossing the pass
before the avalanche occurred. A con-
sentative estimate is that between
rs and 100 persons were killed. The
point at which the accident occurred
is some five miles above Sheep Camp. The
nearest telephone station is four miles dis
tant. The Scales is some five miles above
Sheep Camp. The telephone wires at this
point were carried away by the slide. This
fact makes it difficult to obtain further
particulars at this time. A binding snow
storm was raging all day upon the sum-
init, and as a consequence many of those
in the vicinity were making no attempt
to travel. Zebarth, Sprague and Steven
son of Seattle were travelling together as
partners and were found side by side in
bed.
Thousands of people were encamped in
the vicinity of the accident at the time
and were soon upon the scene rendering
such assistance as was possible. Upon re-
ceipt of the news, points below Dyea tele-
phoned up to know if assistance was re-
quired and received answer to the effect
that 5000 people were at work upon the
debris and were only in each others way.
All day Saturday and Sunday south
erly storm with chinook wind, rain and
snow prevailed in the vicinity, and it is
believed the softening of the snow on the
mountain side by those agencies was the
cause of the avalanche. The quantity of
snow and ice that came down in the slide
is estimated at thousands of tons. 1t
swept directly across the trail, which, not
withstanding the fact that the weather
was unsuitable for travel, was thronged
with wayfarers. The last vestige of the
trail in the vicinity was wiped out of ex-
istence, and where it leads is now a noun
tain of snow and ice. under which are
many dead bodies that can not be recov-
cred for days to come.
Two or three thousand men are work
ing in relays of as many as can stand side
by side, shoveling away the debris in
search of the dead and dying. Twenty
two dead bodies have been recovered and
identified and 25 have been taken out
alive.

of 800 feet, and about 1000 feet of tun
mel work has been done.
Republic Mine Developments.
The development at the. Republic mine
is said to continue satisfactory. The
wonderful high grade ore chute in the
Republic still continues, with a six-foot
vein. The chute now crowds 200 feet in
length, and promises to continue indefi-
nitely. Three shifts have been put to
work on the drift north of the tunnel on
the 200 foot level, and good rock is now
being taken from that drift. The lower
tunnel is now in about 100 feet, and
running through hard syenite, which

and tunnels.
A Big Flume.
The new fume of the Anaconda Copper
Mining Company at Anaconda runs par

when the first smelter was erected, about
Is years ago. The new flume is four
feet deep and eight feet wide, and is
constructed to last for years. Over $685.
600 feet of lumber were used. Some idea
of its magnitude can be gained from the
fact that its construction cost about
100000.
