PERISH IN A MINE.
Fifty Men Lose Their Lives in Shaft
Of the Diamondville Coal
Mine In Wyoming.

Kemmerer, Wyo., Feb. ga disas-
trous fire in Dlamondville coal mine,
No. 1, late Monday evening was at
tended with serious loss of life and
great destruction of property. There
were some so miners and Is horses
intombed, but one miraculous escape
was made, however, by John Ander-
son, who was working near the mouth
of the level when he realized the
mine was on fire. With much diff
Guilty he reached the main lead, and
by throwing heavy overcoat over
his shoulders he pushed his way
through the flames and reached the
main shaft completely exhausted and
terribly burned, but will recover. He
was taken out by friends.
All efforts to succor those farther
back have failed, as the flames drove
the rescuers back. That all have per-
ished is without question. The scenes
around the mine were heartrending.
Mothers, wives and sweethearts wept
and tore their hair and all efforts to
calm them proved of no avail. The
loss of property will reach an enor-
nous figure. The cause of the fire is
unknown. The mine has been plugged
at the sixth level, about two miles

Minneapolis. Feb. coin the case Of
Frank Hamilton, charged with killing

jury rendered the following verdict:
1--WE, the jury, find the defendant,

slaughter in the first degree, and req
ommend him to the mercy of the
court"
The punishment is from five to twen-
ty years in the state prison. Hamil-
toms attorneys at once gave notice Of
motion for q new trial.
The jury had evidently all but
agreed upon a verdict before going to
bed last night. 1t only remained for
them to take the final ballot this morn-
ing. They decided to pass finally on
full stomachs, for it was not long
after their return from breakfast that
there came u subdued knock at tho
door, behind which they had been de-
libcrating for over forty hours. A
deputy took the word to the sheriff
that the jury had made mp its mind
and was ready to report. The deputy
must have read in their long drawn
faces what the verdict would be. His
own face reflected their dark look as
he made his way to the sheriff's Office.
Beyond a sad, despairing look, Ham
ilton betrayed no emotion other than
to shake his head in mute protest
against the verdict. He sat as one
dazed. He seemed almost in trance
when his attorneys whispered words
Of comfort to him.
No word escaped him. He had no
statement to make, and upon motion
of Al j. Smith, assistant county attor-
ncy, was at once remanded to the
county Jail to await sentence.

st. Petersburg, Feb. 1s.-The Rus

against sugar from here. An increase
in the tariff in the principal imports
from America, that practically is pro-
hibitory, will take effect on March 1.

ed to $3O,000,0OO, was announced Sat-
urday in decree by NJ. de Witte, min
lister OF finance. 1t strikes at no coun-
try except the United States. and by
many here is looked upon as the be-
ginning of a tariff war. The decree
is based upon the first paragraph Of
.rticle 62s Of the customs statute
The German press naturally is elated,
believing the measure will transfer
American commerce to Germany. The
ordinance requires that the articles
affected be accompanied, upon i'm
portation. by certificate of origin.
The ordinance affects the articles
named in paragraphs $50, 1871, 1852, 1853,

ing all sorts of iron and steel goods
from unworked iron castings to sewing

Washington. Feb. lS.--The news that
Russia had struck back at the United
States government because of the re-
cent ruling of Secretary Gage in re-
gard to the tariff on Russian sugar,
while not altogether unexpected, came
sooner than anyone had believed prob
able. The exports to Russia covered
in the decree are on machinery and
tools of every kind. manufactures and
products of cast iron and steel. OF
these the chief articles are farm ma
chimes. 1t is considered that the in
crease in the duties is practically pro-
hibitory.
Washington, Feb. 19.-Secretary
Gage has received many letters re-
garding the recent order imposing q
countervnilng duty on Russian
sugars. On Monday he sent answers
in which he denied that the duty
placed on Russian sugar discriminate
ed against that article, and explain
