 During the past two years the com panies in which the Amalgamated Copper Company Is interested have equipped their mines and smelters with the latest improvements and most modern labor saving appliances. and one of these com panies has built the largest and best equipped smelters In existence This can be put in commission early in the new year. 80 that from now on these com panies can produce copper at a cost that can successfully compete with any cop per produced in the world.

St. Johns, N.

The situation otherwise is unchanged today.
 Marconi expects to receive messages from London tonight giving the final re- suit of the negotiations, and he will then decide whether to remain here or go to Nova Scotia. It is reported that settle ment is likely to be reached.

The present system of submarine cables today fulfils the demands of communication to a great extent. but the great cost of the cables themselves. and their neavy working ex- penses, cause the existing methods to be beyond the reach of majority of the people. But could this new method be applied. I believe the cost of what we now call cabling to England might be re- duced at least twenty-fold. The present rates are 25 cents word.

DEAD BODY FOUND

BELIEVED TO BE THE BODY OF PROF. CHANDLER, WHO TAUGHT SCHOOL IN cLEBuRNE COUNTY SOME TIME SINCE.

Carrollton, Ga, December 19-The head less body of a man supposed to be that of Professor Chandler. a school teacher who lived in Polk county, Ga., was found today beneath a mass of rock at Oak Level, Cleburne county. Ala. It was last October that Professor Chandler disap- peared. He lived in Lime Branch, Polk county, Ga.. and taught school just over the Alabama line in Cleburne county.
 He was seen one day with $125 in money and the next day he disappeared. The entire community was stirred over his disappearance, believing he had been robbed and foully dealt with. The coun- try was searched but no clue to the miss ing mans whereabouts could be brought to light until today, when the body was found and identified by a gold watch which Chandler always wore. A farmer by the name of Knighton has been ar rested on suspicion and committed to jail.

TEN MEN BLOWN
 INTO ETERNITY Furnace Plant is Wrecked by
 Terrific Explosion LOSS AMOUNTS 10 $2O,OOO Men Were at Work 12o Feet From the Ground and Were Just Ready
 to Quit When the Gas
 Exploded.
LOSS AMOUNTS 10 s2O,OOO

Pittsburg, Pa December l9.-Ten men were burned to death and four injured by an explosion of gas at the Soho fur mace of Jones and Laughlin, limited, in Second avenue, this morning. The ex- plosion was caused by a slip in the fur mace, the gas and flames belching upward through the bell. The men were on the furnace platform, S5 feet above the ground.
 The bodies of the victims were all re- moved to the morgue and were terribly mangled and burned. Those identified thus far are as follows:
 Joseph Frankowich.
 Michael Gasdovicz, 26 years old; leaves wife and child in Hungary.
 Andrew Sues. 20 years of age and has a widowed mother in Hungary
 Michael Mezo. aged 35 years; married and leaves a wife in Hungary
 John T. oiosky.
 Nineteen on Top.
 There were nineteen men on the furnace when the explosion occurred. Fifteen or them were caught in the flames. The ex- plosion was caused by the gas becoming encased in a crust of cynder forming at the bottom of the furnace. wheel barrow containing ore had been sent up to the men and when they went to dump it into the bell of the furnace, they pushed it over too far and 1t rolled into the hopper. The barrow weighed 900 pounds and was too heavy for the four men to raise. The fifteen laborers, all Hunearians, were then sent up to as- sist them. Had 1t not been for the bar row accident no one would have been hurt as the regular men knew how to protect themselves at sue times expio- sions are frequent occurances.
 When the gas let go panic ensued on the small platform about the top. The men m ade a mad rush for the ele- vator, but it had gone down. and there was no escape. The jump meant death, and to remain on the platform was just as certain doom.
 Molten Metal on Them.
 The tons of molten metal and flames fell upon them, and burned ten men to death. Their bodies dropped to the roof of the mill, eighty-five feet below, every bone broken, and an unrecognizable mass of human flesh.
 Patrols from all sections arrived before T o'clock, and the morgue wagon was with them The bodies of some of the dead and many of the wounded were strewn about ..e yard beneat.. the fur mace, some of the dead having fallen from the slippery roof to the ground.
 The most distressing feature of the dis aster was the burning of Frankowich. He was seen by the thousands of people who were on their way to work to run to the platform railing and leap into the air. He was mass of flames as he was hurled through the air. He fell on an iron shed and literally burned to death before the eyes of the crowd. fifty feet below. who had no way to reach him. When the explosion occurred burning heaps of cin- ders settled around the men almost knee deep. Their shrieks were terrible and their frantic efforts to save themselves were pitiful. No molten metal. was thrown on the men.

AGAINST CHINESE EXPULSION. Meeting Held In Boston In Opposition
 to the Movement.

Boston. December 1e-Willian Lloyd Garrison presided over a meeting in the Broomfield Street M. E. church this af- ternoon at which resolutions were adopt ed against the re-enactment of the Chin csc exclusion act. Besides MT. Garrison the speakers were the Rev. J. M. Foster of Boston; the Rev. MT. Johnson of San Francisco; Yong Hay Chinese clergy man of this city. the Rev. James A. Earl and Col. Stephen W. Nickerson. In the course of his address MT. Garrison said:
 We are here tonight as Americans to protest against Americas injustice in dealing with sister nation. We cannot forget that our ancestors themselves were immigrants with no prescriptive right to enter this country.
 "The sweeping objection to the Chin ese is that they cannot assimilate with Americans; they earn money here and send 1t back to China; their manner of living is inexpensive and they are small consumers; they huddle together in great numbers; crime and unchastity abound with them. in short their influence is corrupting and they must go.''
