investigation to settle the matter

the laundry, is held in custody by the
police.
Reports of the number of dead in the
ruins run all the way from six to TWEEN

place before the explosion occurred, be
cause the automatic time keeper found
in the ruins showed that number of
registered arrivals
Two or three were entering at the
moment of the explosion, making the
approximate total of forty employees in
and around the building. The most
conservative estimate by the police
comedies that at least three persons.
dead or alive, are still in the ruins
The work of search in the ruins has
been stopped because of a disagreement
between the police and fire departments
as to Jurisdiction.

ASSESSING CORPORATIONS.
Illinois Concerns to BE Raised From
$3,5eO,OOO to S75yOOO,OOO.

Springfield, III, Nov. 22.-Judges
States Court, to-day refused an in
junction to restrain the state board of
equalization from assessing the capi-
tai stock of the Chicago Union Trac-
tion Company and Union Traction
Company for 1900.
Springfield, Ill, Nov. 22.-Immedi-
ately after the decision was announced
assessments aggregating $4,000, 900,
and involving over $100O,00O in 1900
taxes, were made by the state board
of qualization as the fair cash value
of the capital stock of the traction
companies over and above the assess
ment on their tangible property. The
$75,000,0 600 valuations made take the
place of $500, 900 valuations made last
year as representing the fair cash
value of the property assessed. The
s Teachers Federation estimate was
SIPS 600, 900.
The method to be followed in deter
mining the value of capital stock fol
purposes of taxation was discussed by
Judge Grosscup at length. AS to bonds
he said, the judgment of the money
lenders might be reasonably safe. but
with capital stock ii was different
1t would be grossly unfair to base the
assessment upon the stock value quot
ed on the Stock Exchange. They were
frequently, If not generally, determined
by circumstances quite distinct from
the real value of the stocks in ques-
tion. He cited as an illustration the
Northern Pacific furry of a few
months ago. There nobody would con-
tend that the real value of the stock
exceeded par. yet, the quoted price
reached $1,000. Nor had any court de-
cided that the equalization board must
be governed by the quotable market
prices of capital stock.
1t was the decision of the Supreme
Court of Illinois In the franchise tax
case recently decided, he said, that
these prices merely must be taken in
to consideration. 1t still remained for
the equalization board to exercise it's
judgment in determining the real value
of capital stock for purposes of taxa
tiOn.

MINERS MUST DiSBAND.
Officers Will Move Against Their
Camp To-day.

Darlington, KY, Nov. 22.-To- NOR
row morning at daylight, County
Judge Halls order to the striking min
ers to disband their camp and dis
perse becomes operative. Tonight
there are fully $50 men in the camp,
all heavily armed, and declaring they
will not abandon their quarters. Of
ficials, however, do not anticipate vio-
lence. They believe the men will sim
ply say: Here we are, what are you
going to do with us?''
Judge Hall has prepared his order to
Adjt. Gen Murray and Sheriff Han
kins, directing them to proceed against
the camp, if not removed or abandon
ed, and all arrangements were perfect

Judge Hall declares the miners must
go, and says all now hinges on their
action. -zkcF . -@

Washington, Nov. 22.-The answer of
the Colombian government to the rep
reservations of Consul General Gudger.
to the effect that the government was
unable to guarantee the integrity of
the railroad communications across the
isthmus, was purposely developed III
order to make perfectly plain the fact
that the United States was thoroughly
justified in lnnding it's forces at Colon.
With this formal acknowledgement
from the Colombian government of its
inability to maintain communication, it
becomes, it is said, not the privilege,
but the duty, of the United States, un-
der the treaty of New Granada, to
guarantee that communication, even
though the use of force is necessary.
1t is not intended to interfere between
factions, Conservative or Liberal, un-
less a faction places itself in the posi-
ton of obstructing the purpose of the
United States to keep the Panama
Railroad open to free traffic.

ATHENS STUDENTS RIOT.
Funeral of the Victims Yesterday
Largely Attended Dead.

Athens, Nov. 22.-The turbulent de-
monstrations here, growing out of the
proposal to translate the Gospels into
modern Greek, were continued to-day
in the streets, especially in front of the
Chamber of Deputies, and before the
university There were many ugly
rushes. The military are finding diff
hculty in controlling the rioters.
The meeting of the Chamber of Dep
uties was marked by series of vio-
lent alterations.
In the course of the afternoon the
growing crowds and the increasing ex-
citement heralded the hour fixed for
the funeral of the victims of the riots.
The bulk of the troops were confined to
barracks. The shops along the route
were closed by police orders.
AT o'clock the cortege left the ca
thedral for the cemetery, dense crowds
following. The seven coffins covered
with white flags were preceded by
students carrying a black banner.
The procession halted for some min
utes before the palace, but no cries
were raised. The populace going to
and returning from the cemetery,
maintained a silent and restrained de-
meanor.

The city resumed its normal aspect
as the evening wore on. The students,
however, still remain in occupation of
the university. The rector, at the head
of thirty professors, endeavored to per-
suade them to retire, but they declined
to comply unless given guarantees that
no legal proceedings would be taken
against them; that the translators of
the Gospels would be communicated,
and that the university would not be
occupied by troops

On cross examination the witness
stated that once when he was on duty
at Boston navy yard, Maj. LAUGH
heimer came to his (Fuller's) room and
said he had just come from the Puri-
tan Club after closing 1t up.

that he had induced Maj. Lauchheimer
to go to his own room, but the Major
returned later, having removed his outer
garments, and Capt. Fuller had to
draw curtain over the window in or
der to screen his visitor.
Maj. Charles H. Lauchheimer was

Interest to Land Owners.

Interest to Land Owners.
Atlanta, Nov. 22.-Maj. G. NJ. Ryals.
Capt. Henry Blum and City Attorney
S. B. Adams were here to-day to see
about the bill proposing to extend the
limits of the city of Savannah. They
held a conference with Senator Cam
and Messrs. Harden, Wells and Hitch.
after which it was decided that the
consideration of the matter before the
Committee on Corporations should be
postponed for one week. This action was
taken for the purpose of giving time
to have the matter taken up again by
the City Council, as there are several
Savannahians who want to be heard
with regard to it.
All of the members of the Chatham
delegation to-day received protests
from the County Commissioners against
the passage of the City Court bill in
troduced by Mr. Hitch. The bill has
not yet come up before the committee
which has it in charge.
The General Judiciary Committee to-
day recommended favorably a bill of
interest to Chatham. 1t is a measure
by Mr.. Hitch to give exclusive right to
owners of land along unnavigable
streams over the oyster beds in such
streams

THE KL LONDIKE CONSPIRACY.
Dominion Government Makes Facts
in Its Possession Public.

in Its Possession Public.
Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 22.-All the facts
in the possession of the interior de-
spiracy to capture the government of
the Yukon were made public to-day.
Officials here do not take a serious
view of the situation. On Sept. q
Controller Fred White of the mounted
police was advised by Supt Primrose
of Dawson of a report from Seattle
that some scheme was being concocted
to seize Canadian territory in the Yu-
kon. 1t appears that man named H.
Greght had told at Dawson that he
knew of a conspiracy against the gov
ernment. His conversation was to the
effect that a secret organization in
tended to take possession of the Yukon
territory, their plan being to run
White Horse pass, takes the smaller
detachments along the river, it being
an easy matter then to capture the
barracks at Dawson. The organization
had representatives at both Seattle and
Skagway and they expected to be as
sisted by men from Circle City and
Eagle City. Greght. it was said by a
member of the mounted police. had
been in the grocery business in Butte,
Mont.
There was nothing more heard of the
matter until Nov. 4, when Controller
Fred White received the following tel
egram from Superintendent Wood of
Dawson:
Snyder reports discovered where
abouts in Skagway papers relating to
conspiracy to seize territory. United
States refuse to secure unless Snyder
makes affidavit as to conspirators. This.
of course, he cannot do. Am satisfied
such conspiracy exists"
The police were also trying to locate
a man named Short, who had been
mentioned as having knowledge of a
conspiracy.

UPHEAvAL IN PITTsBURG.
Governor Appoints New Recorder
Who VIII Fire Old Employees.

Pittsburg. Nov. 22.-For the second
time within six months the city gov
ernment of Pittsburg is about to un-
dergo an entire change. Mai A. NJ.
Brown, appointed city recorder last
April by Gov. William A. Stone. has
been requested to step down and out
by the chief executive of the state.
and J. o. Brown, formerly director of
public safety under the old regime.
will assume the duties of the office.
The change in recorders will be fol-
lowed by the restoration to their old
places of the 100 or more city officials
recently removed by Maj. Brown. The
upheaval is the result of a fight for
the control of the city government,
which has been going on for nearly a
year between the "stalwart" Repub-
licans and the old Republican organi-
cation under the leadership of State
Senator William Flynn. The new re-
corder's commission has not yet ar
rived. and he will hardly take the oath
of Office before next Monday, as he
cannot qualify until after the approval
of his bond by the Governor. In the
meantime the city will be left without
an executive head.

o'clock this morning Supt. Walter
OMalley of the Pocahontas Galleries
Company, along with State Mine In
spector William Priest, A. S. Hurst,
chief coal inspector for the Castner,
Curran and Bullitt Company of Phil

inspector: Morris st. Clair and Will
liam Oldham, sub-coal inspectors,
Frazier G.. Bell, mining engineer, and
Joseph Cardwell, manager of the Sha-
mokin Coal and Coke Company of
Maybury, w. Va, composing
a party of eight, entered the
west mine of the Southwest Virginia
Improvement Company's collieries for
the purpose of examining the true situ-
alton in regard to the recent explosion
and fire in the Baby mine, and up TO
this hour (midnight) have not been
heard from.
1t was supposed that the Baby mine
proper had been cut off from the west
mine for the purpose of operating the
west mine. The large fan in the west
mine had been started at an early
hour this morning, and at IL o'clock to-
day it was thought that all gases Or
iginating from fire in the Baby mine
had been forced from the main por-
ton and it was considered safe to en-
ter.
At p. m. a party consisting of ex-
perienced miners led by Assistant Su-
perintendent King, entered the mine
to rescue the lost party of eight, but
at GAS they returned, having encoun-
tered such quantities of black damp as
to make it impossible to enter any dis
tance into the mine. Assistant S@per-
intendent King was completely over
come by the gas encountered and is
now in a critical condition. 'ee
A consultation is now being held in
the company's offices at Pocahontas of
the different mining experts from the
Flat Top field, these experts having
been rushed to Pocahontas by special
train late this afternoon. All efforts are
being used to recover the bodies of the
inspecting party, but no hopes are en-
tertained that any of them will be re-
covered alive. The secretary and treas
urer of the Southwest Virginia I'm
provement Company, c. S. Thorne of
Philadelphia, is directly in charge of
all movements at the mines.
The fire that originally started in
the Baby mine last Thursday morning.
and which was supposed to have been
under control, is now burning furiously.
All members of the lost party are
prominent in the coal fields, and the
excitement now prevailing at Poca-
hontas is intense, business having been
practically suspended. All members
of the party are married, some having
large families.

noticed the torn condition of the up
per buttonhole of Ayres' shirt, and he
added that the corresponding button
was hanging by thread There also
were powder marks about the wounds
on Ayres' body, indicating that he was
shot at close range.
The next witness was w. w. War
field. who was the proprietor of the
Kenmore Hotel when the homicide oc-
CURED there. The witness said Ayres
had told him that the lock of the door
to his room was out of order and that
the door could not be fastened with it.
Had Arranged to Leave.
Mr. Fulton, on cross-examination
asked the witness If Mrs. Bonine had
made arrangements to leave the Ken
more prior to the tragedy. Mr.. Gould
objected, but before he could
state his objection the witness
replied that she had made such
arrangements. Mr.. Gould then asked
to have the reply stricken from the
record as irrevelant. Mr.. Fulton con-
tended strongly for the admissibility
of the question. saying that the theory
of the government concerning the KILL
ing of Ayres made it decidedly rele-
want to show that Mrs. Bonine had
prepared to leave the house before
Ayres had made his own plans to go
away. If this could be established 1t
would go far toward relieving Mrs.
Bonine of the charge that her rela-
tions with Ayresl were such as to cause
her to take extreme steps to prevent
his going away. The court decided
that the question would be more rele-
want on direct examination, the
point had not been touched upon by
Mr.. Gould.
The last witness of the day was ].
Frank Drew, a special policeman, who
lived in the Kenmore Hotel. who ac-
companied officer Brady to Ayres'
room. His testimony as far as it
went, covered the same ground as that
covered by the other policemen. His
examination had not been completed
when the court adjourned until Mon
Ioxr
