~ VIII HI""I'IIP HIIIsU IMMUNITY.
One of the worst accidents that has ever
happened hereabouts caused the death of
Will Moultrip of this place, who was in
stantly killed by the boiler explosion at
Grafton on Tuesday morning. Mr.. Moul-
trip was one of the night force of four
men who were working for White &
Wilder at their steam mill. Nothing is
definitely known as to the cause of the ac-
cident and it is miraculous that the others
are alive to tell the tale, as all four of the
men were within ~ feet of the boiler.
Dana Fairbanks, also of this place, was
badly burned and cut with piece of iron.

Moses Hammond, 80, packer for the

CHAMBERLAIN WINS.
Great Majority for the Boer War
Leader.

New York, Oct. 10.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from LONDON says: Mr. Wal
tons great majority at Brnsley is fresh
proof that the iiberal-imperialist of pro-
nounced views holds his ground without
difficulty. The unionist conquest of Bur-
ton by over 1000 is new proof of Mr..
Chamberlain's power as a canvasser, for
it was in this Staffordshire district where
the liberals had not been opposed for two
elections, that he made one of his strong-
est speeches last week, after the audience
had sought to silence him. Frome was
another unionist gain. The liberals gain
ed seats in Derbyshire and Devonshire.

San Francisco, Oct. 1O.-Among the

Mr.. GameWell, Il do not hesitate to saw.

by many others, that the United States
should insist on the leaders of the up-
rising should be punished to the full ex-

take the form of execution is a matter
to be determined later, but whatever is
done should be made sufficiently severe
to leave a lasting impression upon the
Chinese nation.

SECOND OF Their VICTIMS
TRIO OF INSURANCE sWINDLERs GOT AWAY WITH ANOTHER
GIRL VICTIM IN THE SPRING.

Francis Wayland Brown and Frank H.
Smiley, remained in the county jail all of
yesterday. Anticipating an effort to Sc
cure bail for them or procure their re-
lease by means of habeas corpus, the
prosecution swore out two additional
warrants for the two, one warrant charg-
ing them with conspiracy to get S., 900
fraudulently from the Canadian Order of
F'oresters, and the other for the same
acts in connection with the securing of
Miss Defenbach for $1,000 in the Knights
and Ladies Of Honor. The warrants will
not be served unless Brown or either of
the accused men seems likely to gain his
freedom on writ of habeas corpus.
David D. Defenbach, brother of the
dead girl will arrive in the city from St.
Paul today, to assist in clearing up the
mystery. Horace Defenbach, another
brother, has been advised of the circum-
stances, but is i'll in the military hospital
at San Francisco, and unable to travel.

PRESIDENT RESIGNS.
Was Deposed First and Then Gave
UP the Fight.

New York, Oct. 10.-President Manuel
A. San Clemente of the republic of CO.
lombia, who was deposed from office on
July 31 and his place taken by vice-presi-
dent, Jose M. Marroquin has relinquish-
ed his claim to the head of the govern
ment, thus making the latter the legal
chief executive. This news has been re-
ceived in this city by Eduardo Espinosa,
charge d'affaires and consul general.
Immediately upon receipt of this inform
alton, Senior Espinosa sent cablegram
to Bogota, resigning his office. Senior Es-
pinosa, who is an appointee Of San Gle
mente, explained his course by saying
that principles compelled him to resign.
He said he would retain the office of
consul general until his successor is APP
pointed. The recognition of Marroquin by
President San Clemente was brought
about, it is said, through Gen. Prospero
Pinzon who called on the latter in be-
half of Senor Marroquin. What promises
were made to San Clemente to cause
him to take this step is not known, for
he has issued proclamations saying he
would fight against his overthrow. 1t
is believed here that Senior Marroquin,
now the legal president. has given assur.

several high Offices, including cabinet po-
sitions. DR.. San Clemente will, it is be-
lieved, go to his native town of Buga, de-
partment of Cauca. and there spend his
declining life. He will retain what Is
known as the Titular Presidency, which
carries with it a pension but no auth
ority. 1t is the opinion of many Colom-
blans in this city that President San
Clemente acted as he did on account Of
his age. He is IS years old and it is
lntlmated that were it not for that ne
would start a revolution to regain the
presidency. AS it is there was a con-
nlct few years ago between his sup
porters an dthose who had sworn allie
glance to Marroquin. Senior A. J. Res
trepo, diplomatic representative in this
country of the liberal revolutionists, said
last night that the action of President
San Clemente will not in any way affect
the rebellion, but that it will continue de-
spite the change in the government.

Pottsville, Pa, Oct. 10.-The shenan
doah delegates to the miners convention
have received their final instructions.
Not one of them will vote contrary to
these instructions. At the meeting OF
two Of the local unions of the United
Mine Workers at Shenandoah, it was de-
cided to demand that the sliding scale
on the $3.50 basis, should be abolished
before the strike is declared at an end.
The delegates to the Scranton convention
were SO instructed. Many of the dele
gates from Schuylkill declare that before
an agreement is reached between the
operators and miners, joint conference
must be held, before which the sliding
scale, dockage, semi-monthly pay and
other grievances must be adjusted. 1t
is not believed that the operators will go
into such a conference. President Mitch
ell and other labor leaders, are strong adj
vocates of the annual wage scale, similar
to that in force in the bituminous fields.
The operators in this region meet their
employees each year and fix the wage

need OF MORE ART|LLERISTS

CONGRESS WILL BE ASKED TO INCREASE SERVICE.

Washington, Oct. 10.-Accompanying
the report of Major General Brooke.
commander of the department of the
east, to the war department. was a re-
port by Maj. Story, 7th artillery inspec-
tor. Major Story states that the per-
sonnel of the artillery is manifestly in
adequate to serve the purpose of that
branch Of the service, and he. believes
ther is such general recognition of this
fact that there will be an increase in
artillery forces at the coming session Of
congress. 1T should be remarked, in
this connection he says, that the en-
listed force required for one relief to
serve the modern coast armament in this
military department, is estimated at 49,
010 men. On the 18th Of last June, the
enlisted strength of the heavy batteries
amounted to only 4.093 men, and of these
quite a number Of artillery soldiers are
required by exigencies Of the service to
garrison posts which are not properly ar
tillery stations.
ut may also be stated that, with the

exception of the artillery school at Fort
Monroe. Va, there is not in any harbor
in the United States even the minimum
number of officers required by the coast
artillery regulations for the service Of
modern armament, fire control and di-
rection.'
Major Story comments upon the artil-
cry reorganization bill now pending in
congress and says 1t is serious defect Of
tine measure that 1t does not supply suf-
fcient officers for STAFF administration.
THE number of officers now absent
from their batteries" he says, is proba-
bly, In excess of forty per cent and there
Is no prospect in the near future of inn
provement in this respect. If the bill
passes in its present form this unfortu-
nate condition would be aggravated.
since officers must be withdrawn from
batteries for staff administration. It is
therefore earnestly recommended that
the artillery be put upon the same basis
as infantry or cavalry In providing ON
GERS for stan work."

TO ABOLISH SLIDING SCALE
MINERS WILL VOTE AS UNIT TO HAVE STANDARD WAGES
HOW LONG WILL RAISE CONTINUE?

-iations With the mine owners are not re-
lorted. it will cause delay IN the settle
nent of the strike. The convention may
be in session several days and it is hard
ly probable that any coal will be mined
next week. Some of the national officers
are unanimous in their declarations for
a settlement and will exercise their in
fluence with delegates to accept the offer
of the companies. At this time the men
are divided on the proposition as to
whether or not it is victory. The slid
ing scale and the price of coal at tide
water have been an enigma to more en-
lightened minds than those of the miners
in the past and the real gain or loss will
only be demonstrated by actual practice.
A vote for the resumption Of work is re-
garded as certain, but this, it is believ-
ed, will only be secured after considerabl BILE
difficulty. Most of the mine owners who
have granted the increase do not specify
in their notices how long the advance
shall remain in force, and it is not un-
likely that an attempt will be made by
the miners in convention to open negotia-
tions with the operators looking toward
an understanding ON this matter. This
will cause delay and no one looks for re-
sumption of work early next week.
