DAVISSTATUE PREMATURE
SOME VIEWS IN WASHINGTON
Minnesota Legislatures Action Is
Regarded as Unwise at
This Time.

Special to The Journal.
Washington, Feb. 16.-Much interest is
taken among public men here in the bill
in the Minnesota legislature to erect a
statue to G. K. Davis in statuary hall in
the capitol. 1t may seem strange that the
bill is not commented on favorably. But
the prevailing sentiment here is conserva-
tive and strongly in favor of not filling
the limited sipaces in statuary hall, two for
each state, too hurriedly.
Only a few days ago Senator Hoar of
Massachusetts said that Missouri had
done herself great credit when she waited
fifty years before selecting the men whom
she desired to honor in this way in stat
uary hall. Her selection of Benton and
Blair, after this lapse of time, was highly
creditable to the wisdom and conservatism
of her public men.
In the same connection another senator
criticised the action of the legislature of
West Virginia in placing in statuary hall
marble presentment of Senator Kenna,
a man whose reputation at no time ex-
tended beyond his own state lines and will
not long live within these lines.
The criticisms offered here do not 20 to
the question of the worthiness or unwor-
thiness of Senator Davis, but to the un-
wisdom of making selections too early
and too soon after the death of the man
whom it is proposed to honor and before
history has had any opportunity to place
him in proper perspective. Senator Hoar,
who is recognized as an authority on mat
ters of this sort, thinks that no statue
should be placed in statuary hall until the
subject of it has been fifty years dead
and that it might be wise to make a regu-
lation to that effect.
1t is claimed by many of Senator Davis
friends here that if he could be consulted
he certainly would portest against any
such action. If the matter could come
up, say after the lapse of only ten or
twenty years. it would be a higher com
pliment than possibly could come from
any such action taken at this time.

IS AFTER SMOKERS
The Anti-Smoke Ordinance to Be
Enforced.
HEALTH COMMISSIONER PRIMING
Thirty PrOprietOrs Have Been
Warned of Fhat's COming-The
University Among Offenders.

After several years of mastery inactivi-
ty, the Minneapolis health department is
girding w its Ioins for another campaign
against the smoke nuisance.
Two Of Health Commissioner Halls staff
have been putting in their spare hours
for a week or two investigating conditions
and in a short time will be prepared to
institute legal proceedings against the
many black. belchng chmneys. now work
n govertime.
The department engaged in smoke
abating crusade two years ago and Sc
cured dozen or fifteen convictions, but
without any apparent result so far as
lessening the activity of the offending
chimneys was concerned.
The Ordinance Was Inadequate.
The ordinance proved quite inadequate.
1t named the engineers and firemen as the
responsible parties making it impossible
to reach the owners. At least, this was
Health Commissioner Norton's view, and
he refused to proceed until the council
amended the ordinance so as to give him
a chance to get at the responsible ones.
1t was not fair, he claimed, to arrest and
fine engineers and fremen when under
the conditions they had to deal with it
was impossible to prevent the chimneys
from smoking. The city council never
took enough interest, however, to amend
the ordinance, and prosecutions ceased.
Now the department purposes to accept
the legal conditions and make the most of
them.
Thirty ProprietOrs Warned
No less than thirty owners of buildings
have been told that they must improve
the smoke conditions on their premises
The engineers and fremen in each in
stance have also received warnings. The
University of Minnesota is one of the
places visited. 1t was from the university
people that the council recently received
a complaint of how the Great Northern
engines were polluting the air there
abouts. In the course of their investiga-
tions the inspectors found that the uni
versity chimneys were fully as active as
any on the list and the authorities there
were warned. In some cases the inspec-
tors were received without cordiality anG
even ordered off the premises.
The ordinance provides for a penalty o.
a fine Of not more than $25 for each vio-
lation.

SIXTY In THE TOMB
Probably No One Escaped in the
Union Mine Explosion.
FIRE FOLLOWS THE EXPLOSION
Shaft Is Wrecked and Filled With
Debris So That Rescue
Work Is Slow.

Victoria, B. c., Feb. 16.-No news has
been received to-day directly from the
Union mines, where so miners were en-
tombed yesterday by an explosion. 1t is
stated on good authority, however, that
efforts to rescue the men have so far
proved fruitless.
Victoria, B. c., Feb. 16.-An explosion
that it is feared will be one OF the worst
mine accidents in the history of the do
mln1on occurred yesterday forenoon at
the Union mines owned by the yelling
Colliery company, of which James Duns-
muir, the premier of the province, is the
principal shareholder.
AS near as can be gathered, the explos-
ion took place at about II o'clock in No.
shaft. There were sixty men in il and
not one Of them escaped The explosion
ignfted the mine, wrecking the shaft from
midway down to the bottom and filling it
with solid mass of rocks, earth and tim
bers. The first explosion was followed by
several more.
The men of the morning shift in No. s
shaft organized relief party. They had
not cut their way many yards through
the debris when they encountered fire,
and, overcome at last by gas and smoke.
they reluctantly withdrew from No. and
commenced work on long cut from No.
4. The work on this was prosecuted with
vigor until abatement of the fire in No.
enabled them to once more return there.
The latest news is somewhat encourag-
ing, 1t being stated that the fans are again
working, that the cage has got 175 feet
and is still going down in No. shaft
Immediately upon receipt Of the news
at the head Office of the Dunsmuir COM
pany here, special train was made up
and proceeded to Nanaimo. At Nanaimo
the Dunsmuir steamer Joan awaited them
and on her they proceeded sixty miles by
water to Union Bay, the remaining six
miles by land to Cumberland on the Duns-
muir colliery railway.
The only way in which any of the min
ers could escape would be by reaching
some remote part of the workings, to
which the fatal gases and smoke could not
penetrate. The gas in coal mine, it was
said, did its work in few minutes.
The last report of the inspector of mines
pronounced the shaft as complying with
the regulations governing coal mines

Reply to the Ministers Is
Almost Insulting.
DEMANDS ARE REFUSED
Chinese Enjoys Are Berated for
Failing to Protest.
NO MORE WILL BE EXECUTED
Nations Declare War Is
Not Confirmed.

New York. Feb. ia dispatch to the
Herald from Peking says:
A new turn in the peace negotiations
has caused diplomatic earthquake
among the ministers. A brief and almost
insulting note from the court has ar
rived. fatty refusing any further execu-
tions than the two previously decreed.
Iu Hsien. governor of Shansi province,
will be decapitated and Prince Chwang
will be allowed to commit suicide. Posi-
bly, Chao Shu Chiao. former minister of
justice. may be included, but the court
reserves its decision in his case.
1t is also bluntly stated that no further
initiative will be permitted to Ii Hung
Chang and Prince Ching. who are berated
for having failed TO protest vigorously
against the demand Of the ministers for
six executions. three posthumous and
three documentary. The court calls this
demand preposterous and impossible to
meet and says that it was not contem-
plated when the general agreement was
signed.
The imperial government says. in short
that the powers ask outrageously too
much and cannot be satisfied.

MAURICE THOMPSON.
He would have holiday--outworn, in sooth
Would turn again to seek the old release
The open fields-the loved haunts of his
youth
The woods, the waters, and thes paths of
peace.
The rest, the recreation he would choose,
Be his abidingly; long has he served,
And greatly-Aye and greatly let us use
Our grief, and yield him nobly as deserved.
Perchance-with subtler senses than our own,
And love exceeding ours-he listens thus
To ever nearer, clearer pipings blown
From out the lost lands of Theocritus.
Or, haply he is beckoned from us here
BY knight or yeoman of the bosky wood,
Or, chained in roses, hailed a prisoner
Before the blthe immortal, Robin Hood.
Or mayhap. Chaucer signals, and with him
And his rare fellows he goes pilgriming;
Or Walton signs him, Ger the morning brim
OF mystic waters, midst the dales of Spring.
He, wheresoeer he goes, or whosoe'er
He fares with, he has bravely earned the
boon.
Be his the open and the glory there
OF April buds, May blossoms and flowers
of June.
Be his the glttering dawn, the twinkling dew.
