variety of them to be found in our for ests. It was intended to place the mineral display in the shape of the united States war vessel Alabama, but 1t was found inexpedient from lack of space. The display is arranged in connection with the agricultural and forest specimens because no other place could be found.
 The Alabama exhibit is in the capa- ble hands of MT. Roscoe W. German Of Opelika. The State is fortunate in having secured his services. He is an enthusiastic Alabamian and never tires Of showing visitors to his department what Alabama has and of telling them of the advantages of our soil, climate, health. schools. churches and people. There is not a thing connected with any department of our State Govern ment that he is not perfectly familiar with and 1t is a pleasure to him to in- forra inquirers about our State, county and municipal affairs. He is emphatically the right man in the right place. There Is no better way for literature about our State to reach the world than through MT. German. Our commercial bodies, railroads and trans portation companies, schools and pub lie institutions. can send any of their publications to him with absolute cer- taintX that 1t will be placed where it will do the most good. Any letters, papers or packages directed Roscoe w. German. care of Alabama Exhibit, Agricultural Building, Pan-American Exposition. Buffalo, N. Y.," will reach him and receive prompt attention.
 This letter will be brought to a close with the statement that the Exposition Is we'll worth visiting. The grounds are easily reached by the street car lines and the New York Central Rail- road. Up to date there has been no eXtortion and those who exercise mod crate caution in securing accommoda- tions will not find a visit an expensive venture. W. W. S.

HIS STAY AT AN END.
Presidential Party Complete Their Programme
and Start for Home.

San Francisco, May 25.-President
Mckinley has completed his program
in this city, having met every organ
ization included in the original
schedule, and Mrs. McKinley's health
has so far improved that the president
and his party began their return jour
ney to the national capital at 10 A.
NJ. today.
The presidents pubic functions
yesterday included a reception at the
Scott mansion to the members of the
foreign consular corps of this city, a
reception at the Palace Hotel by the
Sons and Daughters of the American
Revolution and the Loyal Legion in
honor of the president, and review
Of the school children OF Oakland by
the president.
Last night President Mckinley at
tended an impromptu reception at
the California street NJ. +. church,
given by the Epworth League and
Christian Endeavor societies. Special
precautions were taken to prevent any
annoyance while the president and
his wife were being driven to the ferry.
A route was chosen that secured per-
feet comfort for Mrs. Mckinley. The
party was taken to Oakland on a
special boat. The two trained nurses
who have attended the patient in this
city will also go to Washington with
her. No fast time will be made and
the train will run slowly to stockton.

BLOWN UP BY DYNAMITE.
Car Loaded With Explosives Run Into by a
Freight Train.

Everett, Wash, May 29.-An acci.
dent occurred yesterday afternoon on
the Great Northern Railroad -four
miles east of Skykomish which re.
suited in the serious injury of Engi-
neer John McGrouty and consider
able loss of property.
A push car loaded with 4S boxes OF
dynamite was being run to a siding
when the west bound freight train,
No. Is, came along Before the
men in charge of the push car could
reach the siding, the freight struck
the car. A terrible explosion fol-
lowed. The engine was hurled some
distance up the mountain side.
Three freight cars were demolished
and about 500 feet of track was torn
up. A steam shovel standing near
was reduced to scrap iron. McGrouty
was the only one seriously hurt. He
received a scalp wound, his tongue
was bitten through, and he also sus-
tained injuries to his spine. A
watchman's shack, Is yards from the
explosion, was blown to atoms and
the watchman himself stunned. The
injured men were taken to the Everett
hospital,

RACED FOR A SWITCH.
Terrible Accident Caused BY MOtOrmsn's
Carelessness.

Albany, N. Y, May 27.-Electric
cars racing for switch while run
ming in opposite directions at the
rate OF 40 miles an hour cost five
lives yesterday afternoon by terrific
collision in which over 40 prominent
people were injured, some fatally
and others seriously. The lobby OF
the local postoffice, filled with dead
and wounded, hysterical women and
children looking for relatives and
friends, surgeons administering tenn
porary relief, and ambulances racing
through the city taking the wounded
to the hospitals, were the early in
timations of the accident.
The scene Of the accident was at a
point about two miles cut OF Green
busch, on the line OF the Albany &
Hudson Railway. The point where
the cars met on the single track was
at a sharp curve, and so fast were
both running and so sudden was the
collision that the motormen did not
have time to put on the brakes be-
fore south bound car No. p had gone
almost clear through north bound
car No. II, and hung on the edge
OF high bluff with its load of shrek
ing manned humanity. One motor
man was pinioned up against the
smashed front of the south bound
car, with both legs severed and was
killed instantly, while the other one
lived but few moments.
The few women and children who
had escaped injury we're hystericsl
and added their cries to the shrieks
of the dying and mutilated. Men
with broken arms and bones, with
dislocated joints and bloody heads
and faces, tried to assist others who
were more helpless. Help had been
summoned from East Greenbusch and
vicinity, and in little time the
bruised mass of humanity, with the
mutiIated dead, were loaded on
empty cars and taken to Albany.
The ambulances and physicians had
been summoned and the postofiice
turned into morgue and hospital.
As far as the physicians could tenn
porarily attend the wounded they
we're taken to their homes or to the
hospitals.
With both mOtormen killed it
was hard to get at the real cause of
the accident, but it is pretty we'll de-
termined that it was caused by an
attempt of the south bound car to
reach a second switch instead Of
waiting for the north bound car at
the first siding. The cars weigh Is
tons each and are the largest electric
cars built, and so frightful was the
crash that both cars we're torn almost
to splinters.

MINERAL OIL EXPORTS.
New Oil Discoveries Win Keep It Ahead Of
Russia In Amount Produced.

Washington, May 29.--The recent
Bill discoveries in Texas and ON the
Pacific coast lend especial interest to
some facts just presented 10y the treas
ury bureau of statistics regarding the
exports of mineral oils from the
United States These show that the
expectation of the fiscal year about to
end will probably be the largest in the
history of this remarkable industry,
which has increased its exports from
204 600, 600 gallons of ofilluminating oil
in 1875, to III 5000 gallons in
1900 In the quarter century from
1876 to 1900 the value OF mineral oils
exported from the United States was
about 81, 200, 900, 900, an average of
about S4S, 90, 600 a year, During re-
cent years it has averaged about $780,,
900, 600 per annum or S5 900, 900 per
month.
In the mere question of gallons of
oil produced, Russia has been for
years a close competitor of the United
States, though it is probable that the
recent discoveries in the United States
will enable it to continue to lead in
the number of gallons produced
while the fact that American oil pro-
duces nearly twice as much refined
Illuminating oil from given guam
tity OF crude as from the Russian oil,
adds greatly to its value as a CONNER
cial product.
One especially interesting feat
ure of the development of the oil in
dustry is, that there has been a re-
markable decrease in the price to the
consumer during the period in which
the actual expectations and the net
value of the exports have been in
creasing. The average value of the
illuminating oil exported in 1876 was
about l5 cents per gallon, and in
1877, an exceptional year, 20 cents
per gallon BY 1881 the price had
fallen to about 10 cents per gallon,
the figures for that year being 332,
600, 600 gallons, valued at $34, 000,-
600. By 1891 the average price was
about 7 cents per gallon. BY 1898
the average export price had dropped
to 5 cents per gallon, the quantity
exported having been 824, 600, 900 gal
Ions, and the value reported to the
bureau of statistics by exporters
through the customs collectors, $42,-
922, 6S2.

SEVERE W Nd STORM.
Caused Widespread Devastation in Five West.
ern States.

Salt Lake, May 28.- The wind
storm which swept over Nevada,
Utah, Southern Idaho, Wyoming
end Colorado, did damage that will
run into the hundreds of thousands
of dollars. 1t resulted in almost
complete prostration of telegraph and
telephone service in the states affect
ed and for nearly "a hours during the
height of the storm, the inter noun
tain region was practically cut off
from the rest of the world. The
storm was severest in Eastern Nevada
and Utah, and in the fertile valleys
in the northern part OF Utah wide
spread devastation resulted. When
the storm was at its height, the wind
at some points reached velocity OF
80 miles an hour.
At Ogden the storm was felt worst.
Here the wind tore roofs from num-
Der of buildings, including the Bap-
tist church, completely demolishing
barns and outbuildings, and scattered
them far and wide, uprooted many
shade trees and tore Others to pieces,
blew in plate glass windows in busi-
ness blocks and prostrated electric
light wires, so that the city was in
darkness. The damage in Ogden
will probably reach 500, 900.
At Five Points, Logan, Smithfeld,
Hooper and other places the damage
was very great Hundreds of fruit
trees were completely stripped. The
force of the wind was so terrific
around Logan and Hooper that to-
mato vines were swept entirely from
fields. 1t is estimated that fully
one half of the crops were destroyed.
Around Hooper, the sweep of the
wind blew away the ploughed ground
to the full depth that the rlows had
entered the earth, rendering the land
practically useless.
Along the north shore OF the Great
Salt Lake the wind picked up the dry
sand in great clouds and hurled it
across the country with terrific force,
half burying the railroad tracks fol-
miles.

EXPLOSION In MINE
TWENTY-ONE MEN MET A TER
Rl8LE DEATH.
Nine More Terribly Burned - Explosion
Caused by Coal Dust in the Air Being
lsnitsd by a "BlOwn BIast"-FIrs Shot
Out From the Mouth Of the Tunnel 800
Feet tish-Mint IS Badly Damaged.

Dayton, Tenn, May 29.-At the
Richland mine of the Dayton Coal
& Iron Company, two miles from
here, at 4;30 o'clock this afternoon,
terrific explosion of coal dust re-
suited in the death OF 81 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 the custom OF the
miners to place blasts and fire them
off at quitting time, leaving the coal
thus thrown down to be loaded and
hauled out OF the mine the next
morning. The Richland mine is
destitute of water, and great vol
ume of fine particles of coal dust,
invisible to the naked eye, accumu-
lated at the roof OF the mine. This
afternoon at 4:30 o'clock dynamite
cartride was placed in position in
one OF the rooms for a blast, and the
miners started for the mouth of the
mine. The blast did not explode, as
intended, but instead long flame
shot out of the blast hole and ignited
the accumulation of dust. Instantly
terrific explosion occurred, and a
seething mass of flames shot to the
mouth of the mine and extended 300
feet into the air, scorching the leaves
from the nearby trees.
There were 81 men in the mine at
the time. Four of them escaped
with slight injuries. Twenty one
were killed, and nine terribly burned,
most of them fatally. The force of
the explosion caused great masses of
coal and slate to cave in from the
roof of the mine, and many of the
miners were completely buried.
Word quickly reached Dayton and
rescue forces were at once organized
and proceeded to the mine. One by
one the blackened and horribly dis
figured bodies were taken from the
debris and carried to the mouth Of
the mine, where they were put on
locomotive and taken to Dayton.
Scores of relatives and friends gath
cred at the mouth of the mine, and
the shrieks of anguish as the bodies
were removed were heart rending.
The two undertaking establishments
at Dayton were turned into mOrgues,
where the mangled bodies were
dressed and prepared for delivery to
their families. All the men en-
ployed in this mine were residents
OF Dayton.
The Richland mine is the prop
erty OF the Dayton Coal & Iron Com
pany, composed OF Glasgow capital
lists. The company operates an iron
furnace at Dayton.

RAPIDLY NEARING HOME.
Presidential Train VIII Reach Washington
Thursday.

Sidney, Neb, May 2S.--The presi-
Dental train made the third days run
on the homeward journey without
incident. The trip across Wyoming
was at an average elevation of over
1000 feet, and at Sherman, just be-
fore the train began to descend the
eastern slope of the Rocky mountains
the elevation exceeded Z, 800.
The president has made no remarks
at any of the stops, but he has ap-
peared on the platform and shook
hands with some of those nearest the
car. There were crowds at every sta
tion along the route and every cattle
ranch had its little group of cowboys
sitting bolt upright on tEeir horses
waving the sombreros as the train
went by. Mrs. Mckinley is standing
the trip well, The weather has been
pleasant and that means much for
her comfort
The Presidential train will reach
Washington Thursday morning at
7.30.

STRIKERS LESS sANGUlNE.
Eighteen Hundred Men Still Out AROUND
Newark, N. J.

New York, May 29.--The close OF
the first week of the machinists
strike at Newark, n j., finds about
|, 800 idle men in Newark and its
suburbs The strikers have ceased
to be as sanguine as at first regarding
the outcome OF their efforts to com
pei their employers TO grant nine
hour day without decreased pay A
half dozen of the smaller shops in
this section have met the demands
of the men but none of the larger
ones has shown any disposition to
yield. Representatives of the larger
firms say they are prepared for just
as long a fight as the machinists
are to maintain.
1t is probable that the machinists
employed in the American Engine
works, at Plainfeld will go out.
This company agreed to the nine hour
clause, but cut Is cents from the 10
hour pay.

ECLIPSE PHOTOGRAPHS.
Satisfactory Results Obtained by the Lick Party
in Sumatra.

San Jose, Cal, May T.-The fol
loving has been received from the di-
rector of the Lick observatory:
Lick Observatory, May H.-As-
tronomer Perrine, in charge of the
Crocker eclipse expedition from the
Lick observatory to Sumatra, has
cabled the gratifying information
that some results were secured with
all the instruments taken with him.
This, taken in connection with his
cable of last week, is taken to mean
that his successful photographs were
secured between clouds drifting across
the vicinity of the sun. As this was
an unusually long eclipse, it is quite
probable that his results will compare
favorably in quality and quantity
with those secured at the short
eclipses OF the past three years. The
hoods of the coronal streamers, first
observed at the Indian eclipse of 1893,
are recorded on the plates of the pres
ent eclipse. Further details of the
results secured are not expected until
the arrival of Mr.. Perrine's letters. -
