Former Explosion Recalled

Seven years ago there was another
disastrous explosion at Port Royal and
the mine caught fire. 1t was necessary
to fill it with water to finally quench
the flames. To do this hole was drill
ed in the bed of the river This is now
closed only with a plug. which was ar
ranged for such an emergency as the
present, and to drown out the fire all
that is necessary is to take out the plug
and the water of the Youghiogheny
will rush in. This, of course, cannot be
resorted to until all the men in the mine
have been recovered or are known to be
beyond rescue
From what could be ascertained here,
last night about o'clock there was a
low rumbling sound, followed by a roar
which sounded like a cyclone, then
three sharp and short reports. Imme.
dlately the mine catastrophe of seven
years ago. still fresh in the minds of
those made fatherless, was recollected,
and simultaneously a rush was made for
the mouth of the mine.
Rescue Party Lost.
When the first excitement had sub.
sided little it was decided to try to
rescue at least part of those taken to
be entombed. AS quickly as possible
a messenger was dispatched on horse.
back to West Newton, 5 miles away,
and while awaiting the arrival of appli-
ances necessary to enter a burning
mine, a temporary rescue party COM
posed of the men who had knocked off
earlier in the day was formed.
About o'clock William McCune of
West Newtown, general uperintendent
of this district, Dennis Wortley, pit
boss of the mine, and several other
bosses, with about 90 men. went down
into shaft No. /, and they are probably
lost, as about three hours after the
rescue party had been in the mine two
more explosions were heard.
The explosion occurred at the time
when the shifts were being changed
from the day to the night turn. and It is

APPEALS TO AMERICANS.
Representative of Beers i'm New York
Says Hope Alone Lies in the
United states.

New York, April CHARLES D.
Pierce, representative in New York
of the Beers of the Orange Free
State, has issued an appeal to Amer
leans in which ne analyses the Brit
ish terms Of peace and applauds the
Beers refusal to accept them.
He charges bad faith on the part
of the British government in offering
to grant amnesty, and declares Lord
Kitchener is trying TO make a Bene-
dict Arnold of Gen. Botha by treating
with him as an individual rather than
as a representative of the Boer re-
public.
"They promise enfranchisement after q
period of military rule as a crown col
ony," he continues, but Acknowledgement
will be indefinitely prolonged" He likens
the acts of their army to the cruelty of
the Turks in Armenia, and adds: 1T lies
now with the American people to decide
whether the war is to be one of eXtermina-
ton, and the Beers appeal to them for their
mediation

BILLION DOLLAR CAPITAL.
Expected Increase In Capital stock
of United states steel Cor
porntion Is Made.

Trenton, \. J., April 2.-The United
States Steel corporation Monday aft
ernoon filed with the secretary of
state articles amending its charter
and increasing its capital stock to
81, 100, 100000. The states fee for the
filing Of the papers was 100000. The
original articles filed some time ago
were only amended in one particular,
This amendment was made for the
purpose of taking advantage of an act
passed by the recent legislature.
Originally the corporation could not
mortgage or pledge its real property
or any of the stock of any other com
pany except by the affirmative vote of
the owners of two-thirds of the cap
ital stock. Under the amended char
ter it is necessary TO have only the
affirmative vote of two-thirds of the
stock represented in person or by
proxy al any meeting of the corpor-
alton. The reason for the change is
the fear that the stock wlll become
so scattered that it would be impos-
sible TO get two-thirds of the entire
stock represented at a meeting.

United Mine workers TO Compel All
NOn-UniOn Labor in Anthracite
Region so Join Union.

New York. April p Monday marked
the start of a new era in the history
of the United Mine Workers of the
anthracite region. The union will at
tempt to restrict employment TO union
men only Union cards will be issued
to members and committee will be
appointed at each colliery to see that
men without cards are not employed.
1t is possible operators will object,
as there are not enough workmen,
union and non-union, to fill all the
places. There are several thousand
non-union men in the region, and it is
sought either to force them into the
union or out of the mines. If the OPP
orators side with the non-uniOn men
there may be strikes.
This policy of the miners, if success
full, will give the union the power the
operators declare they desire it to
have-absolute control of all the work
ers, preventing frequent strikes. 1t is
the proyiso upon which the promise of
future recognition of the union is
based.
