Writes a Caust Letter to the Gov
ernor of Indiana.
In a caustic letter to Gov. Durbin of
Indiana Gov. Beckham Of Kentucky re-
plies to his criticism of the courts and
officials Of Kentucky made in a recent
letter refusing to honor acquisitions for
the return of Taylor and Finley for trial.
The Kentucky executive charges that
Gov. Durbin by his refusal made himself
party after the fact to the assassination
Of Gov. William Goebel and that his ac-
ton was the result Of a compact made
before his election.
Gov. Durbin, when asked if he would
reply to the letter, said: mo, shall not.
The incident, so far as l am concerned,
is closed forever. AS far as the letter Of
Gov. Beckham itself is concerned, the
more people who read it the better salts

All a Success.

Principal Crops of the Great west NOT
All Success.
After garnering the yield of their broad
acres the farmers of the great graln-pro-
ducing districts of the West find that the
season Of 1901 is far less profitable than
was last year. The corn crop, upon
which much of the prosperity of the
farmer depends, is a failure, the govern
ment reports indicating probable yield
of but 1859, 7OO5 800 bushels, against q
1O5, 1O2,51 for 1900. Other crops have
been lighter than for several years, the
Weld of oats in 1900 being 09,12o,9oo
bushels and only 66O,757, 900 this year;
rye, 23,995,927 last year and 23,57l,OOO
in 1901, and potatoes 210,S26,S97 bushels
last year and only 152, SO5,OOO bushels
this year.

One hundred miners are believed to
have lost their lives as the result of Il
fire in the Bullion tunnel, at the works
Of the Smuggler Union Mining Company.
just outside Telluride, Colo. Many bodies
have been taken from the tunnel, and
scores of the 200 miners who were under
ground at the time of the disaster are
unaccounted for.
The fire, which is believed to have been
accidental, started about Z o'clock from
a defective flue in the buildings at the
mouth of the tunnel. At this point is the
upper terminal of the tramway to the
company's new mill at Pandora, and it
was in the bunk house attached that the
fire started. From this it spread TO the
terminal station, which, with it's ore bins,
machinery and supplies, is 4 mass Of
ruins.
The flames quickly communicated with
the other buildings. The dense smoke
from the burning converter house which
was saturated with oil began pouring
into the tunnel, which with the shafts
of the mine acted as chimney.
The day shift had just gone on duty
before they could be warned of their dan
ger in the levels, and the slopes were
filled with gas. AS soon as the men be-
came aware of their danger efforts were
made to reach the surface through vari-
Gus exits, and about half of those in the
mine escaped.
The Smuggler Union is one of the old
est mines in the district, and has several
abandoned openings, some of which were
available. Most of those who escaped
did so through the old Union workings
and the old Sheridan tunnel. y rescu-
ing party cut connection through from
the Commission workings adjoining and
took out part of the men.
After the fire in the buildings was UNI
der control the dense smoke continued to
pour into the tunnel and it was not until
5 o'clock in the afternoon that it occur
red to the management to shut off the
draft by blasting rock into the tunnel.
1t is believed by mining men that had
this been done as soon as the fire started
all loss of life might have been avoided.
The property loss is about $4,000, fully
covered by insurance.

Gov. Van SAINT Of Minnesota has de-
clared war on the new $40O,O00,O00 rail
road combine. Sentiment against the
latest railroad trust is growing through
out the Northwest, a st. Paul dispatch
says, and Gov. Van SAINT is in favor of
calling a special session of the Mime
sofa Legislature to deal with the sub
ject.
A spontaneous demand has sprung up
in Minnesota for the converting Of the
Legislature for the purpose Of enacting
legislation that will prevent any change
in the management or direction Of the
roads in the combine. In North Dakota
similar feeling prevails, and Gov.
White has the subject of special session
under consideration.

znour Of Connecticut

Inittee on amendments Of the constitu-
zion reported on various matters as fol-
lows: Adversely TO the amendment 10

house voted with them, the adoption Of

volving the right Of missionary Bishop
20 become a diocesan when his district IS
changed into a diocese.
THE MISSIONARY DISTRICTS.
The house then considered the report Of
the committee on amendments to the con-
amendment TO give deputies from mis-
Nsionary districts the right to vote In the
General Convention, except the right to
vote by orders. The committee recon-
mended the adoption Of the report.
Ex-Governor Prince of New Mexico
made an earnest plea for the adoption Of
the amendment He urged that many
missionary districts were larger and
stronger than dioceses and therefore
should have full representation in the
convention.
Dr. Mcconnell Of Long Island opposed
the amendment for the reason that the
missionary districts were not really part
OF the convention. The church and the
convention were entirely different. The
missionary districts were part of the
church, while the convention only recog-
nized dioceses OF which It was composed.
The Rev Dr.. Davenport called attention
TO the words Of the constitution Of one
hundred years ago and thought the mis-
siOnary districts had a perfect right to
representation in the General Convention

The San Francisco call., 1901-10-17

Deputy Evans OF Pennsylvania felt con-
strained to vote against the measure. and
thought the missionary districts had no
more right to vote than did the Terrific
Ties Of the United States in Congress
CANON DENOUNCED AS UNJUST
The Rev. Mr.. Martin Of Texas pleaded
for representation Of the missionary dis
tricts. The acl of voting possessed by the
dioceaes was bribe held out by the do
eeses 10 induce the clergy to leave the
missionary field and accept a charge In
a diocese. he said. What would have been
thought II ST Paul in returning to Jeru-
saiem had been told he had 10 right to
talk in tho general convention OF the
apostles because he was "only mission
ary'? the speaker asked.
The Rev. DR.. winchester OF Missouri argued
earnestly for the rights OF the missionaries 20
representation in the convention, saying that
they constituted a large part OF the clerical
representation of the church. II was nothing
but an act OF Justice that they should be given
representation in this body. he said
The Rev. DR.. Arnold Of Southern Florida
argued on the same side. saying: Many of
US were originally in dioceses. and for the
advantage Of the church missionary jurlsdic-
tions were formed out of those dioceses Is
It fair or Just that should be disfranchised
because happen TO be carved out Of exist
ing dioceses? 1 look upon IT as act Of In

The Rev. DR.. Penrick made vigorous plea
on the same side saying: IT happen to know
