DISASTER KILLS MANY.
Injured by Boiler Explosion at
Chicago.

Chicago, March 12.-An unknown
number of persons, at least nine, lost
their lives in boiler explosion at
the Doremus laundry, ass West Mad
ison street, Monday.
Many more were fatally injured,
and the death roll is expected to
reach 10 to 20. The dead. were re-
moved to the county morgue, and the
injured to the county hospital.
News of the horror spread fast
over the city, and at the present
time thousands of persons are watch
ing the work of the police and fire
departments among the ruins of the
building, from which bodies are be-
ing removed. The total loss of life
will not be definitely ascertained un-
til the wrecked buildings are thor
oughly overhauled. The majority of
the dead were employees of the laun-
dry company.
A. f. Doremus, proprietor of the
laundry, was arrested before noon
and locked up at the Desplaines
street station.
1t is believed there were 60 en-
ployes in the laundry at the time of
the explosion. The Doremus com
pany employs from 90 to 100 regular
hands, but Monday being washday
the force of ironers was not down.
Of the 60 it is not believed a dozen
escaped without injury

FAvORS YEARLY CONFERENCE
President Mitchell Thinks This the
Only Way of Operators and Min
ers Adjusting Differences.

Scranton, Pa, March 12.-President
John Mitchell, of the United Mine
Workers of America, is here. He said
Sunday night that the coal opera
tors offer to continue the ten per
cent. advance in the miners wages
indicates a friendly feeling. He
hoped that the operators would show
the same disposition regarding the
other question to come before the
Hazleton convention.
I'm my judgment" said Mr.. Mitchell
1.-The proper way to adjust wages and in
sure uninterrupted employment is to have
annual conferences between the operators
and the employees as Is done in the soft
coal region. There is no good reason why
the operators should rot confer with the
organization. Last fall they claimed the
organization did not represent the miners
That excuse cannot be put forward now.
Practically speaking, every miner in the
region is now enrolled in the organiza-
ton"
Wilkesbarre, Pa, March 1.-THE
delegates from this section to the
United Mine Workers convention at
Hazleton left for that city Monday.
The convention will be much larger
than the one held in the same town
last fall. Some of the locals send as
high as ten delegates.

WORST sLEET STORM IN YEARS
Milwaukee Cut OF from Outside
WorId-Railroads Unable to
Operate Trains.

Milwaukee, March 12.-The most dis
astrous sleet storm in years visited
Wisconsin Sunday, cutting the city off
from communication with the outside
world. Telegraphic or telephone COM
munication, even with Chicago, does
not exist
The fan of every telegraph wire by
which railways are operated between
Milwaukee and Chicago, as well as to-
ward the north, has caused whole
sale decentralization of traffic. A
vestige of mail service remains, but
the delay of trains has even impaired
that communication
Railway men of wide experience say
that such a situation has never be-
fore presented itself to them.
Marinette Wis, March IA fierce
blizzard swept over the northern coun-
try Sunday and Sunday night. Wind,
snow and sleet combined to make it
the worst storm that has been expert
enced for long time. Trains on all
lines were many hours late and traf-
fic was practically blocked. Wires are
badly demoralzed and communication
in some directions is entirely cut off.
Great concern is felt for the large
number of fishermen who are out in
the ice of the bay, and relatives are
anXiously waiting news from them.
Hundreds Of men practically make
their homes in small shanties on the
ice of the fishing grounds so as to
make the most of their time, and no
communication has been had with
them since the storm began.
Columbus, o., March PA special
to the Dispatch from Akron, o., says:
Sunday nights storm was the worst
of the winter. Reports from the
country districts state that the low
lands along the Cuyahoga river are
flooded, bridge at Boston washed
out and wind did considerable dam

Bloemfontein. March 10.-Gen. De

ish influence, extending long dis
lance in their vicinity. Over $4,000 ref.
ugees are now within British lines,
and many of them demand arms and
permission to take the field If their
requests are granted it will be easy to
get 1000 ex-burghers enrolled on the
British side.

GREAT britain SAYS No
Declines to Accept the Senate
Amendments to the Hay
Pauncefote Treaty.
REPLY is DELIVERED TO HAY MONDAY.
Amendments Are Treated I'm Detail
setting Forth the Reason why
They Were ReJected-The burden
of Further Negotiations Thrown
Upon the United States.

Washington, March 12.-The answer
of the British government to the
amendment to the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty, made by the senate, was re-
ceived by the British ambassador and
communicated to Secretary Hay. The
contents of the document have not yet
been made public, but it probably re-
fleets the earnest wishes of the British
government to have the Nicaraguar
waterway international in character,
instead of confined to the United
States.
The British answer is a dignified but
complete rejection of the senate
amendments and it leaves upon the
United States government the respon-
sibility for any further action that
may be deemed expedient.
Came by Appointment.
Lord Pauncefote came to the state
department at noon by appointment.
He brought the answer with him, and
read it to Secretary Hay. 1t was, in
form, an instruction from Lord Lans-
downe, the British minister of foreign
affairs. TO Lord Pauncefote, and of this
instruction he left copy with Secre-
tary Hay. The secretary and the am
bassador were closeted for half an
hour.
At the conclusion of the conference
it was stated that the instruction to
Lord Pauncefote was to notify the
government of the United States that
the British government did not see
its way clear to the acceptance of the
senate's amendments. The amend
ments were treated in detail at some
length, in argumentative fashion, the
purpose of the British government be-
ing to show it had sound reason for de-
clining to accept them. After dispos-
ing of the details, the note concluded
with an expression of regret that
such course was forced upon the
British government.
