A CONFEDERATION.
of Philadelphia Destroyed About
S7OO.UOO Worth of Property.

Philadelphia, March S.-A fire, en-
failing an estimated loss of over $780,,
coo, occurred early Wednesday in the
retail dry goods district. The con-
fagration originated in the engine
room of Shoneman Bros dry goods
and millinery store, at Eighth and
Arch streets. The building was T
shaped, fronting on three streets,
Eighth, Arch and Cherry. The engine
room was in the basement at the
center of the structure. 1t is said
that while the fire was being drawn
from the furnaces, sparks cOmmuni-
Gated with some waste paper, and the
little blaze spread with astonishing
rapidly to the upper floors. This was
at 7:15 o'clock, and the employees had
not yet arrived.
A general alarm was sounded, but
all efforts to save the building were
fruitless, and it was leveled. The loss
is placed at 100000.

TEST OF ENDURANCE.
Future of the Big Strike
in Chicago.

Chicago, March apparently all
hope OF settlement in the near future
of the differences existing between
the unions affiliated with the building
trades council and the contractors
was dissipated when the building con
tractors council made a declaration
that no opportunity to arbitrate will
be afforded by that body, no matter
what pressure may be brought to bear
by the Industrial commission soon TO
meet here.
1--WE have locked no one out, and ere
willing to employ men regardless of
their affiliations" continues the Off
cial statement, but we refuse to be
dictated to by the building trades
council.
1t is now believed by many leaders
on both sides that the combination of
strike and lockout in Chicago will Ge-
velop into a simple test of endurance.

Empress DOwager's Coup d'Etat is
Likely to Cause n Civil War
in That Country.

Victoria, b. c., March According
TO Asiatic advices by the steamer En-
press of India the recent coup d'etat
of the empress dowager of China, in
which the emperor, Kwang Su, was
dethroned and the 6-year-old son of
Prince Tuan named as his successor,
bids fair to embroil the Celestial en-
pire in a civil war. At Swallow the
Chinese are already in revolt, and in
many other parts of the empire they
are taking up arms against the en-
press and the Manchus. The reform
party, which is at the head of the
movement to foment rebellion, is in
receipt of a telegram from Kang Yu
Wei, sent from Singapore, in which he
says he can raise an army of 10000.
The China Gazette says the empress
dowager and her advisers, being afraid
of a revolution in PeIin, have applied
to the Russian government for help,
and that the japanese government has
promised.
kilograms from Pekin to japanese
papers say it is reported that Russia
has sent warships to the mouth of
Yalu river.

sEcRETARY ROOTS MIssIoN.
The Havana Newspapers Indulge in
Much Speculation over His
visit TO Tint City.

Havana, March s.-The local papers
indulge in much speculation as to the
reason for the visit of Secretary Root,
but almost without exception they say
that Mr.. Root is welcome and that
they hope he will not only enjoy the
experience, but that he viii learn
more about the Cuban people than he
ever could by reading newspaper dis
patches and opinions, which give such
varying opinions that no man can tell
what 10 believe.
One journal says: Secretary Root
is less liable than some others to be
led astray by casual talk, for the peO-
pie with whom he is most likely to
come in contact will be Cubans of in
telligence and foresight"

EXPLOSION IN A MINE.
Thirty-Four Dead Bodies Taken Out
Of a West Virginia Shaft.
1t Is Believed That There Are still
Thirty-Nine Miners EntOmbed,
with No Possible Prospects
of Any Being Alive.

Hinton, w. Va, March THE most
terrific and disastrous explosions that
has ever occurred in this section oc-
Cured Tuesday morning at 8 o'clock
at Red Ash Coal & Coke Co.'s mines
at Red Ash, opposite Echo, Fayette
county, thirty miles west of this place.
The loss of life is appalling.
The cause of the explosion is IN
known, but supposed to have been
caused Dy a miner entering an unused
room in the mines with an open lamp.
Fire Creek, w. Va, March S.-The
rescUing parties continue working
hard at Red Ash mine in removing
debris and securing the bodies of the
victims of the explosion of Tuesday
1t is still impossible to give the exact
number of the victims or to identify
all of the bodies that have been recov-
cred. The most conservative estimate
of some of those connected with the
mine places the number of killed at
40, and there are others who insist
that the number of victims viii be
found to reach twice that many
Thirty-four bodies have been res
cued, % being dead and five seriously
injured. Those rescued alive are Carl
Downey, John L. Day, Joseph Elliott,
John Kane and Harry Dawson. While
the surviving miners and others esti-
mate that there are at least 80 miners
still entombed, General Manager How
ell says there were still in the mine
only 80. The estimate of the latter
would indicate that there were 20
killed and five injured, as it is conced-
ed that all those still in the mine are
dead.
1t will probably require two days to
get them out, as the gas is so strong
men can work but a few minutes at a
time. There are Is mules in the mine,
and six have been found alive, but
there are no hopes of any of the men
being taken out alive. The odor of
the gas from the mouth of the mine
can be smelled for three miles. No
mines are running near by, and the ex-
element is increasing.
No definite cause for the explosion
has yet been learned by Gov. Akin
son, the state and district mine in
spectOrs and others who are interest
ed in the case. In addition to the the
cries of dust, fire damp, ETC., it was
claimed that natural gas had escaped
into the mine and that it ignited when
the miners entered with their lamps.

SMALLPOX IN MISSISSIPPI.
Nearly One Hundred Deaths Have
Occurred From the Disease in
One Small NeighbOrhOOd.

Jackson. Miss, March s.-An official
report made TO the Kinds county
board of supervisors reveals an appal-
ling state of affairs in the JOnesville
neighborhoOd. in the southern part of
the county. The community is literal
ly honeycOmbed with smallpox of the
most virulent and lOathsOme form,
and during the past six weeks nearly
100 deaths have occurred. On some
days the deaths were so large that it
was impossible to secure collins and
rude caskets were made from rails.
Whole families have been wiped out
Of existence, and of several large fam
lies ONLY one or two children are left.
Many of the patients who are now
in a critical condition are without
medical attention and dying at the
rate of from three to five per day.
The death rate exceeds IS per cent,
and the entire lower portion of the
county is demoralized. The board of
supervisors will make an effort to
check further spread, and at its morn
ing session carte blanche was given to
the physicians TO purchase supplies
and medicines. A bill for 43 collins
used within the past two weeks was
allowed.
