not to call on the president for the af1ida-
Wits filed with him relative to the condi-
tions in the mining country under martial
law.
Andrew Devlin was the first witness to-
day. His evidence was directed to showing
that orderly conditions prevailed and that
the local authorities could have dealt with
the situation without resort to martial
law.

John Burns, the London labor agita-
tor and member of parliament, has
thrown a bomb into the ranks of the
British patriots. 80 far as the nation
is concerned" says Burns, "the loss of
prestige by the war already exceeds the
material gains sought to be achieved,
while the fact that it is possible for
a few capitalists to so chloroform the
colonial Office and hypnotic the gov
eminent as practically to get the war
office to further their schemes at the
nations expense, is additional proof
that parliament needs fewer men of
the type who uphold a war rashly pro-
yoked in the interests of a small class
against a people who have proved
themselves to be as brave as they are
humane"

To Coin the Silver.

1t is the intention of the treasury de-
partment as soon as the pending financial
bill becomes law to expedite as fast as
possible the coming of the silver bullion
purchased under the Sherman act still in
the treasury. There is still on hand bull
hon purchased under this act costing $78-
oOO,6O5, and represented by that amount
OF treasury notes outstanding. The de-
partment has been coming this bullion
into dollars at the rate of 100000 q
month. The financial bill authorizes the
coinage of enough of this bullion into sub
sidiary coins to bring the total subsidiary
coinage up to $l0O,OOO,O0O. This will re-
quire about $25,OOO,OOO in subsidiary
coins. In addition to this the department
proposes to increase the coinage of silver
dollars to 100000 a month, and the
effect will be to have all this bullion
coined and all treasury notes retired with
in year and a half.

Charleston, w. Va, March THE
greatest mine horror in the history of the

about s o'clock yesterday morning by au
explosion in the drift mine of the Red Ash
Coal company. 1t is feared that almost 100
lives were lost. The mine was full of

entrance, which was closed by falling
slate. A relief crew was quickly at work.
Already 90 dead have been removed from
the shaft. The working capacity of the
mine is IT'S men, and it was being worked
to its full capacity to fill rush orders. 1t
is believed that 100 men were at work.
The scene of the accident is three miles

Montgomery, w. Va, March by
an explosion of gas in the Red Ash mines
this morning 20 men were imprisoned.
Forty dead have already been taken out,
and a rescuing party is still hard at work.
News of the disaster swept through the
town like an electric shock and within "A
few minutes hundreds of men, women and
children, relatives of unfortunate miners,
were crowded upon the scene of the dis
aster. AS the conviction that the rescue
of the entombed men alive was hopeless
forced itself on the grief-stricken crowds,
they became frantic in their endeavors to
reach the dead and dying in the wrecked
shaft and the work of attempted resucue
was organized with extreme difficulty.
OF the first 20 men brought to the sur
face five were dead or died within a few
minutes, and several of the others were
horribly burned or bruised. AS the dead
bodies were brought up one by one, the
scenes at the mouth of the shaft became
distressing in the extreme Shrieking,
frantic women and children impeded the
rescuers and added to the horror of the
work.

Cause of Disaster,

Charleston, w. Va, March THE
Red Ash mine is not in Montgomery dis
trict, as at first reported, but is in Thur
mond district. 1t belongs to j. Fred Eff
finger of Staunton, Va. The mines are on
the mountain side above water, and the
coal is similar to that found in the Poca-
hontas, district; On this account it is said
here that the accident could not have been
caused by fire damp nor by gas, but from
dust, as was the case in one of the tray
edies some years ago in the Pocahontas
mine.
The district is a wild one on Rush run,
about six miles from this city. The miners
occupied dwellings in the vicinity of the
mines. While the mines are in very
rugged country yet the town of Thurmond
is one of the best advanced of the new
mining towns in West Virginia. Through
the generosity of Mr.. Nickel and other
rich land owners this town has many i'm
provements that are not usually found in
mining districts. 1t has some pretentious
business advantages, including ID fine opera
house and public library, as well as
churches and fine schools.
