A Wise Law,
From the Milwaukee Sentinel.

The law preventing immigrants who are
afflicted with consumption from landing in
the United States will be a serious hard
ship to hundreds, but there is no one who
will question it's justice. This country has
been too long the dumping ground of the
whole worlds sick and penniless. The 1e-
strictions touching the arrival of paupers
have been enforced with little difficulty
This last bar is more important than any
other, and it should be maintained. The
laws are made for the greatest good Of the
greatest number.

Americans, discloses how the insur-
gents terrorized the natives even in

cats in Calamba, Binang and other
towns in the Laguna province. The

DISASTER KILLS MANY.
AZ Least Nine Lost and Nearly n Score
Injured by Boiler Explosion at
Chicago.

Chicago, March 12.-An unknown
number of persons, at least nine, lost
their lives in a boiler explosion at
the Doremus laundry, 45S West Mad
ison street, Monday.
Many more were fatally injured,
and the death roll is expected to
reach IS to 20. The dead were re-
moved to the county morgue, and the
injured to the county hospital.
News of the horror spread fast
over the city, and at the present
time thousands of persons are watch
ing the work of the police and fire
departments among the ruins of the
building, from which bodies are be-
ing removed. The total loss of life
will not be definitely ascertained I'M
til the wrecked buildings are thor
oughly overhauled. The majority of
the dead were employees of the laun-
dry company.
A. f. Doremus, proprietor of the
laundry, was arrested before noon
and locked up at the Desplaines
street station.
It is believed there were go en-
ployes in the laundry at the time of
the explosion. The Doremus COM
pany employs from 80 to 100 regular
hands, but Monday being washday
the force of ironers was not down.
Of the 60 it is not believed a 1ozen
escaped without injury.

FAVORs YEARLY CONFERENCE
President Mitchell Thinks This the
Only Way of Operators ind Min
ers Adjusting Differences.

Scranton, Pa, March 12.-President
John Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers of America, is here. He said
Sunday night that the coal opera
tors offer to continue the ten per
cent. advance in the miners wages
indicates a friendly feeling. He
hoped that the operators would show
the same disposition regarding the
other question to come before the
Hazleton convention.
I'm my Judgment said Mr.. Mitchell,
"the proper way to adjust wages and in
sure uninterrupted employment is to have
annual conferences between the operators
and the employees as is done in the soft
coal region. There is no good reason why
the operators should not confer with the
organization. Last fall they claimed the
organization did not represent the miners.
That excuse cannot be put forward now
Practically speaking, every miner in the
region is now enrolled in the organiza-
ton"
Willesbarre, Pa, March 12.-The
delegates from this section to the
United Mine Workers convention at
Hazleton left for that city Monday.
The convention will be much larger
than the one held in the same town
last fall. Some of the locals send as
high as ten delegates.

IS MOVING NORTHWARD.
Gen. De Wet Covering Etycnty-Five
Miles a Day-Will Cross the
Railroad.

Bloemfontein, March 1O.-Gen. De
Wet is reported to be moving north
ward steadily, at the rate of rs miles
a day, with view of crossing the rail
way to the eastward. He should now
be west of Kroonstadt. Several small
commanders are in possession of the
southeastern portion of the Orange
River colony, from which the glrri-
sons of De Wetsdorp, Wepener,
Smithfeld and Rockville have been
withdrawn.
It is impossible not to be struck
with the fact that great proportion
of the former enemies of Great Britain
in South Africa now frankly throw in
their lot with the British. Brandfort,
Kroonstadt and Bloemfontein COM
panies Of ex-burghers are now bear
ing arms against the Beers. They
state their object is not to operate
against their former comrades, but
to defend their homes and property
against marauding bands. Every town
in the Free State occupied by the Brit
ish will soon become center of Brit
ish influence, extending long dis.
lance in their vicinity. Over 1000 ref.
ugees are now within British lines,
and many of them demand arms and
permission to take the field. If their
requests are granted it will be easy to
get 1900 ex-burghers enrolled on the
British side.

NO CHANGE FOR WORSE.
Gen. Harrison PASSES Fairly Comfort.
able Notwithstanding Bull
letin from Physicians.

Indianapolis, Ind, March 12.-Gen.
Harrison passed fairly comfortable
night and his physicians announced
Monday afternoon that there had been
no change for the worse. He slept
well until nearly nine o'clock Monday
morning, and when he was aroused
said he felt good deal better. Satur-
day afternoon slight congestion of the
left lung developed, and it was feared
that pneumonia might be coming.
This congestion was not so pro-
nounced Monday forenoon, and the
physicians believe there is no danger
unless complications should arise.
The general still has fever. He says
himself the attack is only slight
brush from which he will soon re-
cover.
Members of the Harrison family
have not yet been summoned.
In a statement issued Monday fore
noon DR.. Jameson said:
1.-THE congested condition does not ex-
tend generally into the bronchial tubes.
Inc left primary bronchus is somewhat in
hamed, but there is not a general con-
gestlon of the mucous membrane
,"Gen. Harrison passed a fairly good
night and to-day is entirely at himself
when aroused. His circulation is we'll
maintained and this is favorable factor
in the case"
g DR.. Dorsey is, at DR.. Jameson's re-
quest, staying with Gen. Harrison con-
slderably to watch the patient and
keep him advised of his condition.

Marinette, Wis.,, March 12.-A fierce
blizzard swept over the northern coun-

snow and sleet combined to make it
the worst storm that has been expert

Great concern is felt for the large

GREAT britain SAYS No
Declines to Accept the Senate
Amendments to the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty.
REPLY IS DELIVERED TO HAY MONDAY.
Setting Forth the Reason Why
They Were Rejected-The Burden
of Further Negotiations Thrown
Upon the United States.

Washington, March 12.-The answer
of the British government to the
amendment to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, made by the senate, was re-.
ceived by the British ambassador and
communicated to Secretary Hay. The
contents of the document have not yet,
been made public, but it probably re-,
fleets the earnest wishes of the British
government to have the Nicaraguar
waterway international in character,
instead of confined to the United
States.
The British answer is dignifed but.
complete rejection of the senate
amendments and it leaves upon the
United States government the respon-
sibility for any further action that
may be deemed expedient.
Came by Appointment.
Lord Pauncefote came to the state
department at noon by appointment.
He brought the answer with him, and
read it to Secretary Hay. 1t was, in
form, an instruction from Lord Lans-
downe, the British minister of foreign
dudlIS, 10 LOIu L uuCclOUc, duu OIL tlllS
instruction he left copy with Secre-
tary Hay. The secretary and the am
bassador were closeted for half an
hour.
At the conclusion of the conference
it was stated that the instruction to
Lord Pauncefote was to notify the
government of the United States that
the British government did not see
it's way clear to the acceptance of the
senate's amendments. The amend
ments were treated in detail at some
length, in argumentative fashion, the
purpose of the British government be-
| ing to show it had sound reason for de-
Ginning to accept them. After dispos-
| ing of the details, the note concluded
with an expression of regret that
such a course was forced upon the
British government.
