STANDS TRIP WELL
Mrs. Mckinley Experiencing No
Ill Effects from Homeward
Journey.

Julesburg, Col, May 27.-The pres
idential train made the third days
run on the homeward journey without
incident. Brief stops were made for
water and to change engines at Raw
Inns, Laramie and Cheyenne, Wyo.,
and Kimball and Sidney, Neb. The
president made no remarks at any of
these places, but appeared upon the
rear platform and shook hands with
some of those nearest the car.
: Mrs. Mckinley is standing the trip
very we'll and seems rejoiced that
every hour brings here nearer home.
At Sidney the president and cabi-
net received official information that
the supreme court had decided the
insular cases in accordance with the
contentious of the government. The
news came in the shape oe;a telegram
from Solicitor-General John K. Rich
ards. 1t was brief however, and con-
tanned no details beyond the bare
announcement that the administra-
tion had been sustained. Naturally
the president and cabinet officers were
elated at the victory, although they
have never doubted that the decision
would be in favor of the government.
Members of the cabinet aboard the
train declined to express their opin-
ions for publication in advance of the
perusal of the text of the opinions.

MAY Be INDICTED
Grand Jury May Think Defendants
in Insurance Case Guilty
of Murder.

Chicago, May 27.-At the conclusion
of today's proceedings in the trail
wherein DR.. August Unger, Francis
Wayland Brown and Frank H. Smil-
ey figure as defendants upon a charge
of conspiracy to defraud certain life
insurance companies and fraternal So
cieties, Assistant States Attorney
Olsen, who has charge of the prose-
cution, said:
''The evidence of murder is strong
er in this case than that upon which
many a man has been hanged, right
here in the county JAIL
The grand jury may indict some of
the defendants for murder before the
present trial is ended. The feature
today was the testimony of Herbert
Lyster, messenger boy, who took the
envelope from DIR. Unger to Miss Def
enbach few days before she died.
1t is contended by the prosecution
that the envelope contained drugs
which caused Miss Defenbach's death.

is FINALLY
DISPOSED OF
PRESBYTERIANS AGREE ON
FAITH REVISION.
DR.. MoFFAT'S GOOD WORK
Introduces Resolution Which Brings
Matter to Harmonious
Conclusion.
DR.. MoFFAT'S GOOD WORK

Philadelphia, May 27.-By unani-
nous vote the Presbyterian general
assembly today adopted the resolu-
tion of the special commissioners for
revision of the confession of faith.
The debate on this important ques-
ton had extended into the fourth day
and to Rev. DR.. James, D. Moffatt is
due the credit of having brought the
commissioners to such harmonious
conclusion. When recommendation B
was last Saturday adopted by COM
paratively small majority Dr. Moffatt
announced that in view of the diver
gency of opinion he would today Of
fer an amendment which he hoped
would meet with the approval of the
entire assembly. When he presented
this amendment today it was instant
ly accepted by the commissioners and
the adoption of the report as a whole
followed with but little delay.
A vive voce vote was taken and
when $40 ayes responded to the ques-
ton the commissioners arose and
sang "Praise God From Whom All
Blessings Flow" which was followed
by prayer of thanksgiving by Mod
orator Minton.
The momentous question of creed
revision having been disposed
of, the assembly proceeded to the
consideration of unfinished business.
The report of the special committee
on judicial commissions was first in
order and was adopted after a brief
discussion. This report recommends
the establishment of a permanent ju-
dicial committee to which shall be
referred all judicial cases which the
general assembly does not elect to
try before the whole body. There
will be no appeal from the decisions
of this committee.
During the afternoon session reports
of various special committees were
considered and adopted, among them
the supplemental report of the com.
mittee on theological seminaries,
which recommends consolidation of
the Louisville and Danville seminaries.
New York was selected as the place
for the next general assembly.

Cardinal Gibbons Explains Matters to
His Holiness.
London, May 27.-The pope had a
long consultation with Cardinal Glib
bons, says the Rome correspondent
of the Daily News, regarding the po-
sition of the Catholics in Cuba and
the Philippines. According to authori-
tative information the pope sees no
necessity of compelling monastic or
ders to adapt themselves to the situa-
tion created by American occupation.
Cardinal Gibbons made it clear to
the pope that, unless they gave way,
the American government may expel
them altogether. The report received
at the vatican from the Philippines are
much more serious than those re-
ceived from Cuba.
The monks in the Philippines are
accused of all kinds of atrocious acts.
1t is reported that the spread of con-
cubinage is due to their refusal to
perform marriage services without a
large remuneration.

MANY MINERS KILLED
Explosion Of Dust in Coal Mine
Causes Large Casualty
List.

Chattanooga, May PA special
from Dayton to the Times says that
an explosion of mine dust occurred
| in the New Richland coal mine of the
| Dayton Coal and Iron company at 5
o'clock this afternoon and that the
dead bodies of IL white miners have
already been taken from the outer
| drift. Five more are known to be
dead.
1t is stated that 35 men were at
work in the mine, all white, and it is
feared all have perished. Relief par
ties are at work, but owing to the
immense amount of debris in the
shaft work has been slow and tedious.
The mine is a new one and extends
about 1000 feet
The explosion is thought to Thave
been caused by an open lamp carried
by one of the miners. The mine is
several miles from Dayton and details,
are difficult to obtain.
An explosion similar to this one oc-.
Cured in the old Richland mine Of
the company by which % miners lost
their lives.
A special from Dayton, Tenn, to
the Times says: AT the Richland
mine Of the Dayton Coal and Iron
company, two miles from Dayton, at
4:3O o'clock this afternoon, terrific
explosion of coal dust resulted in the
death of 21 men, all white, and most
of them married and with families
The explosion was caused by what is
known among miners as ''blown BLAST
1t is custom of the miners to place
blasts and fire them off at quitting
time each afternoon, leaving the coal
thus thrown down to be loaded and
hauled from the mine the next morn
ing.
The Richland mine is destitute Of
water and great volumes of fine par
ticles of coal dust, invisible to the
naked eye accumulate at the roof of
the mine. This dust is subject to ex-
plosion if exposed to flames. This
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock a dynamite
cartridge was placed in position i'm
one of the rooms for blast and the
miners started for the mouth of the
mine. The blast did not explode as in
tended. but instead, long flame shot
out of the blast hole and ignited the
accumulation of dust. Instantly
terrific explosion occurred and seeth-
ing mass of flames shot to the mouth
of the mine and extended 300 feet
into the open air, scorching the leaves
from the nearby trees. There were
"a men in the mine at the time. Four
of these escaped with slight injury,
p were killed and nine were terribly
burned, most of them fatally. The
force of the explosion caused great
mass of coal and slate to cave in from
the roof of the mine and many Of
the i'll fated miners were completely
buried. Word quickly reached Dayton
and rescue parties were at once organ
lied and PROCEEDED to the mine. One
by one the blackened and horribly dis
figured bodies were taken from the
debris ana carried to the mouth Of the
mine, where they were put on q loco

SOLICITOR GENERALS CON-
STRUCTION OF DECISION.
lNSuLAR POLICY SUSTAINED
President Under Spooner AZ Fully
Empowered to Govern
Philippine Islands.

Washington, May -Solicitor-G Gen.
eral Richards, of the department of
justice, who had charge of the insu-
lar cases before the supreme court,
tonight made the following statement
containing his Interpretation of the
decisions OF the court today:
"The important question involved
in these cases was whether the cession
OF territory contained in the treaty
of Paris made Porto Rico and the
Philippines an integral part of the
United States within the meaning of
that provision of the constitution re-
quiring all duties, imposts and excis-
es to be uniform throughout the Unit
ed States. The court held that the
cession simply made Porto Rico and
the Philippines domestic territory of
the United States, subject to the full
control of congress-, which control
could be exercised without reference
to those limitations. This limitation,
the court held, was intended to apply
to the states of the union and does
not apply to acquired territory, unless
by treaty and by subsequent act of
congress it is incorporated within and
becomes an integral part OF the Unit
ed States.
