DOCTORS DIsAGRH1i.
Discussion of McKinley's Treatment
 Will Flame After Awhile.

New York Special Louisville Courier-Journal
 In the opinion of medical men here the end is not yet in the discussion of President Mo- Kinleys surgical treatment. Sooner or later the true opinion of the profession will come out Thus far professional etiquette has withheld all but the most carefully polished opinions from publication. though medical publication recently sounded the keynote of criticism somwhat tentatively. The plain fact is that practically every surgeon believes that . radical blunder was made in closing the bull let wounds, Thoroughly unsurgicar is the alarming term which one hears on all sides among surgeons. Here Is the opinion of a surgeon who has had the largest experiences In bullet wounds of any man in this city, and 1t is concurred in by the most eminent prac- titioner of abdominal surgery in New England:
 "A bullet wound Is practically always septic. In any such wound that of the President. poisoning can be counted upon Therefore the wound she be kept open for drainage do not say that there was any hope of saving the Presidents life. I am willing to take the word of the men on the spot that 1t was a hopeless case from the first But do say this-that if there had been every chance of life. six dent would have been doomed"
 This opinion I have repeated to dozen other surgeons Every one of them has agreed with it. But they have held their peace hith- erto, because they say the wound was fatal from the first. and the" do not care to crfticise the work of Q fellow practitioner who did his best in an unfamiliar line of work. It is significant that ninet out of ten medical men here believed from the time that President Mckinley was shot, even when the bulletins were most roseate that he would not recover.

A Celestial Editor on the Woes Of 4hs
 Flowery Kingdom.

s,-1 Adt 01tTCuTy.
 The sin Wan Po' remarks that there IS q good deal in the relations between China and foreign countries which Is hard 70 explain. Thus last springs uprising formed fruitful theme for diocussing tnese relations, and to the present 1t Is not yet clear what was right and what wrong: The newspaper is an arena for the full and fair discussion of matters, so here goes:e
 The condition of the southwestern pro- vinces Is, indeed, pitiable. What with noodss what with officials and private op- pressions, they are weak and helpless. nese as too proud to acknowledge our faults, which we love to conceal We re- ply that the native press often descants on the faults of the rulers. from the throne downward. The native editors do not fear punishment on account of their boldness. They grfeve that their country does not change its ways. They do not often discuss foreigners, and If they do treating guests. Of course there are con- servatives who are not so gfngerly in their handling of foreigners. Alas! we have so much to censure in ourselves that Nevertheless, the bitter case of the south western provinces recently inundated ap- peals tc us so strongly that, much against our will, we are compelled to make few Certainly the loss of wealth and life is not due to heaven. The fault lies at mans door. Which mans? The outside mans. Look at our trade. For one man who uses native goods there are nine who use foreign. Of our silver. one-tenth cir- culates in our own land and nine-tenths goes abroad to foreign lands.
 In the second place. other countries levy duties of 10, 20 or even 100 per cent on goods imported into those countries. But poor China Is allowed to levy only per cent, and owing to the fall in exchange 1t actually amounts to only 1.2 per cent. Although the revenues must be used to pay foreign loans and the salaries of foreigners in Chinese Government employ, yet all eatables. etc., such as tobacco and wine, come in duty free. We appeal to foreign countries to allow us to increase the tariff, but they turn their faces the other way. From this 1t appears that our import duties are farce.
 Again, if our country breaks one 1ot or the treaties all the foreigners are down upon us: whereas, if any other country breaks the treaties, China Is too weak to demur. Thus salt Is one of Chimes chief sources of revenue and Is contraband ac- co-iing to treaty. Yet foreign salt Is inl- ported without let or hindrance. and they expect our salt revenue to pay indemni- ties!

As. Others See Us.

q think the reason Southern women have such deliciously soft voices may be traced to Riley said recently Southern men look upon their women angels. When a Southern mans wife or daughter begins to talk she doesn't have to yell for the pu,r.ose of attract ing his attention getting him to stop his story and give her a chance. When South ern woman speaks the Southern man is silent and attentive He listens to her words, as if they were honey dropping to his lips This att titude of respect upon the part of the man for the woman, which seems to be universal through the South, makes the Southern woman the gentle. sweet-voiced creature that she is I can't imagine how angels could be any more lovely than some of those Southern women and I might add that the only crea- tures real or otherwise. that are comparable to them are the many beautiful, sweet women We have up here in the North"

SEVENTEEN ARE DEAD
THE RESULT OF A TERRIBLE
 MINE ExPLosIoN.
Fire will Be Stopped by Sealing up Mine to Prevent fngress of Air. Thrilling Scenes
 Enacted.

Victoria, B. C., Oct. 1.-Seventeen men are dead as a result of the fire and ex- plosion in Extension Mine No. 2, belong ing to the Wheeling Colliery company The flames started from curtain, which caught fire from a miners lamp. The dead are:
 George Southcomb. timberman. married. with family, resided at Ladysmith. a native of Australia. Eugene Griffin, timberman, married. - Welsh, manager of the Ladysmith Baseball Club.
 John Patterson. miner, married.
 James Watson, miner. married.
 Michael Dolan. miner, married.
 William Pollock, miner, married.
 E. l.. Lynd, miner. married.
 John Macfallum, miner, married.
 K. Blakely, miner, single.
 E. Hazel. miner, single.
 Frank Mottisha, pusher, single.
 Charles Noyle, pusher. single.
 Archibald Reeves, pusher, married.
 - Boyd. pusher.
 Hamilton, pusher. single.
 Antonio Pescettelli. miner. single.
 The fire broke out at the bottom of level No 3 and was communicated across the slope by one of the curtains. In half an hour the whole slope was on fire. Res cuers hurried to the mines. but the men had gone, attempting to get out by the accustomed route, thus meeting death half way.
 While the rescuers were at work. sev- eral explosions occurred. When 1t was realized that the men could not be saved. a strong force started to choke fhe mine, but their work was undone by a-terrific explosion, which blew down the barricade.
 A little later the fan house burned. James Thomas, e rope rider. had thrill ing escape. He was riding down the slope and seeing the fire coming jumped of the car and ran.
 George B. Southcomb and Eugene Grif- filth, timbermen, called to him to follow them, but he ran on up the slope for 1000 feet to it's, mouth and barely escaped with his life The other men were overtaken by the flames and perished.
 The fire was still raging, but 1t Is thought it can be extinguished without flooding the mine.
 The mines are now sealed to prevent the ingress of air and so smother the flames. This is the only possible way of killing the fire and it will take months, and perhaps years, to effect the result de- sired. All efforts have so far failed to prevent a certain amount of air leaking in, and this has, once or twice, caused explosions which have blown out the stop pings. Such explosion on a large scale would utterly wreck the mines, and it is feared that it may happen at any mo- ment.
