Heavy Blow to Chicago.
Chicago, Feb. 1S.-Chicago manu-
facturers of agricultural and other i'm
plements will suffer a loss aggregating
$2O,OOO,OO0 year, besides rapidly
recent ruling of Secretary of the
Treasury Gage, which infiicts a dis
eliminating duty upon Russian sugar
imported into the United States. A
tariff war has been precipitated, and
Russia has already levied retaliatory
duties of 30 per cent, which are prac-
tically prOhibitory, upon the tool and
implement manufacturers of the Unit
ed States. Two-thirds of this class of
exports to Russia comes from Secre-
tary Cages own state and city. The
law goes into effect March /.
The Russian government has recent
ly granted a remission of the excise
tax levied on sugar to all the exporters
OF that commodity in Russia. The
treasury department has had under ad-
visement for some time the levying Of
a discriminative tariff of 80 per cent.
on Russian sugar imported into this
country, alleging that the remission
of the excise duty was equivalent to
giving bounty to the sugar growers.
This the Russian government denied
Investigations made by the Illinois
Manufacturers association led to the
same conclusion, and fearing retalia-
tory measures by the Russian govern
ment letters of protest were filed
with Secretary Gage denying the con-
tention of the United States govern
ment, and asking liberal interpreta-
ton of the Russian law.
Advices lately received by Chicago
firms from their statesmen in Russia
confirm the fear that retaliation on
American exports would follow short
ly after the announcement of an adj
verse decision, and every effort was
made to forestall 1t. Only last Thurs
day was Secretary Cages decision
made known, and on Saturday NJ. de
White, the Russian minister of finance,
made known the retaliatory measures.

but for its pleasure to the palate. AS a
natural result the stomach is overloaded
with a quantity of innutritious material
and the body is deprived of its due nour-

THE PROSPERITY OF AMERICA
gives every man the opportunity for
good living, and almost every man takes
advantage of the opportunity. The aver
age laborer in the United States lives as
only very prosperous people can live in
Europe. He lives too we'll. 1t is a sing
ular thing to say but it is nevertheless
fact that one of the greatest evidences of
national prosperity is found in the great
army of dyspeptics which is being newly
recruited every day in the year by good
livers. The great trouble is that when
a man wakes up to the fact that his stom-
ach can't be abused with impunity, the
damage is already done. He has joined
the army of dyspeptics, the people with
wweak" stomachs. He can't eat much
now without it hurts him. His stomach
seems unduly distended after eating.
There are bitter risings and belchings,
a constant feeling of discomfort and
weight in the region of the stomach.
Probably, too, the liver becomes sluggish,
and there is feeling of lassitude with
headache.
These are only few of the signs and
symptoms of diseased stomach involv-
ing the other organs of digestion and
nutrition.
Disease won't cure itself, so that it's
folly to neglect treatment thinking vit
will be all right again after time"
Disease never stands still, so that every
days delay in using the right treatment
means worse condition.

Sixty Coal Miners Caught by an
Explosion in a British Col
umbian Pit.
MORE THAN ONE BLAST is HEARD
Little Hope That Rescuers Will Find
Alive Any of Those Imprisoned
Deadly Gas Will Do Its
Work Too Quickly. ...A

Seattle, Wash, Feb. 16.-A special
to The Post Intelligencer from Victoria,
says: what is feared will be one of
the most horrible mine accidents in
the history of the Dominion took place
yesterday forenoon at the Union mines,
owned by the yelling Colliery COM
pany, of which James Dunsmuir, the
premier of the province, is the prin-
cipal shareholder. The explosion took
place at about IL a. m. in No. shaft.
This particular shaft is situated right
in the village of Cumberland. There
were sixty men in it when the eXplO-
sion took place, and not one of them
escaped.
Several Explosions Take Place.
The explosion ignited the mine,
wrecking the shaft from midway down
to the bottom, and filling it with a solid
mass of rocks, earth and timbers. The
first explosion was followed by several
more, while the dense volume of smoke
issuing from the vent-holes indicated
only too truly that the fire as well as
gas was doing its destructive work
below. AS soon as practicable after
Shift in No. 3 shaft organized a rescue
party. No. is situated about a mile
from No. 6, but the two workings are
connected by a tunnel, and through
this channel an attempt was made to
help the unfortunate fellows in the
wrecked shaft.
No Help Through the Tunnel.
They had not cut their way many
do .,s~l, 4. l.
encountered fire which rendered the
place untenable and obliged the party
to desist. The hopeless message came
back by telephone to the surface con-
veying the heart-breaking news to the
relatives of the imprisoned men, whose
urging was not necessary to induce the
relief party to return to their appar-
emily hopeless task. Overcome at last
by gas and smoke they reluctantly
withdrew from No. ) and commenced
work on a long cut from No 4, the
only other means of reaching the men.
Work on this was prosecuted with the
greatest vigor until abatement of the
fire in No. 5 enabled them to once more
return there.
Little Hope That Amy VIII Live.
Even should the rescuing party
reach the interior of the wrecked
workings soon there is little hope for
any of the men locked up i'm the shaft.
John Bryner, eX-member of parlia-
ment, brother-in-law of the premier
and ex-manager of a portion of the
Dunsmuir mining business said to The
Post-lntelligencer that scarcely any
hope could be held out for the men.
The only way in which any of them
could escape would be by reaching
some remote portion of the workings
to which the fatal gases and smoke
could not penetrate. The gas in coal
mine, he said, did its work i'm a few
minutes. Hence the hopelessness OF
the task of saving men who had been
In it for hours.
Later.-A second explosion has oc-
Cured in No. shaft. This explosion
prevents any further attempts being
made to rescue the entombed miners
through No. shaft.
