SYMPOSIUM ON ANARCHY.
Views Of Public Men Concerning Its
determination.

Views Of Public Men Concerning Its
Extermination.
Senator Caffery of louisiana think
It wise and expedient to prosecute an
archists and prevent others from en-
tering the United States. The nat
uralizatlon laws ought to be SO amend
ed as to exclude them, but such an
amendment should be carefully wOrded.
Congressman Tawney Of Minnesota
I favor the enactment Of federal law
for the determination of all existing
societies of anarchists and prohibiting
the organization of such societies In
any form or under any name in the fu-
ture.
Congressman Sibley Of Pennsylvania
Il certainly favor legislation forbid
ding the entrance of anarchists to our
country and, further, shall favor legis-
lation deporting such as are aliens end
the punishment as traitors Of those
who plot for the overthrow Of our gov
ernment.
Governor Gambler of Georgia. ia
vor such legislation, both state and
federal, as will effectually exclude an
archists from our shores. favor
state law making 1t felony to preach
or teach anarchistic doctrines and to
make 1t crime for two or more per-
sons to meet for the purpose of listen
ing to those who teach such doctrines.
Congressman Sherman Of New York
Il favor legislation forbidding en-
trance to the United States Of persons
protesting anarchistic be #, denying
citizenship to such and making men,
bership in societies having for their OBJ
ject the destruction Of existing govern
ments by murder of chief officials
penal offense.
Governor Stone of Pennsylvania
favor legislation that will make 1t
penal offense to teach anarchistic doc
trines or to publish or speak them pri-
vately or publicly or to assemble In
public or private to discuss or promul-
gate them; such legislation as will
make it impossible for an anarchist to
stay in our state outside of our penl-
tentiaries.
Senator McComas of Maryland-Of
course 1 would make more severe our
naturalization laws and deny suffrage
to such perjurers, who swear allegiance
only to plot against the state whose
citizenship they seek. l believe the
wolves who are enemies Of civilization

sion and denial of asylum can be ap-
plied to them.-Boston Traveller.

MET AWFUL DEATH
TEN MEN cREMATEp BY A GAS
EXPLOSION IN "A FURNACE
At PlTTseuRa.
Burning Heaps Of cinders Settle
Around the Men-Their shrieks Are
Terrible and Their Frantic Efforts
to Save Themselves PitifuI in the
Extreme-No One Can Be Blamed
for the Accident.

Pittsburg, Dec. 21.-Ten men were
ourned to death and four injured by
In explosion OF gas at the Soho fur
mace Of Jones & LaughAn, limited, in
Second avenue, near Brady street.
The explosion was caused by a slip,
in the gas furnace, the gas and flames
belching upwards through the bell.
The men were on the furnace plat
form, IS feet above the ground.
There were 10 men on the furnace
when the explosion occurred. Fifteen
of them were caught in the flames.
Two Of them escaped with slight in
iuries. The other four were the reg
llar men employed as top filters and
escaped without injury.
The explosion was caused by the
gas becoming encased in a crust Of
cinder forming at the bottom of the
furnace. A wheelbarrow containing
ore had been sent up to the men and
when they went to dump 1t into the
bell of the furnace they pushed it over
too far and it rolled into the hopper.
The barrow weighed 900 pounds and
was too much for the four men to
raise. The 15 laborers, all Bulgarians.
were then sent up to assist them. Hal
Il not been for the barrow accident
no one would have been hurt, as the
regular men know how to protect
themselves at such times, as similar
explosions are of frequent occurrence.
The residents Of Second avenue who
saw the accident say it was too horri-
BILE to describe. When the explosion
occurred burning heaps of cinders set
tied around the men almost knee deep.
Their shrieks were terrible and their
frantic efforts to save themselves were
pitiful in the extreme.
No One Can Be Blamed.
General Manager J. B. Laughlin said
that the accident was one of the most
disastrous that had ever occurred in
the history of the company.
"The men seemed doomed to that
awful end" he said. "They had just
started to get the barrow out when
the explosion took place. In another
minute they would have been away
from the place. The nature of the ex-
plosion is easily explained. Among
furnace men 1t ts known as slip
BY this we mean that the gas becomes
encased by the cinders and coke be-
coming gummed, forming crust in
the furnace. The gas accumulates and
then the pressure becomes SO great
that 1t forces itself through the crust.
The top filters know, when this is ex-
pected. They are instructed to take
the elevator and to go to the ground.
The top filters heard the explosion
and told the men to come away.
suppose they had taken hold of the
ore barrow and did not hear them.
The blast of flame shot up and they
were killed and the others became so
confused by their burning clothes and
the smoke that they did not realize
how to save themselves, These men
were never on the platform before.
No one can be blamed for the acci-
dent. All the men could have escaped
IL they had listened to the top fillers'
warning"

poisoning in a room at the St. James
