hundred tons of dynamite stored in
an underground chamber OF the San
Andres mine, situated in the Sierra
Madres, in the western part Of the
state Of Durango, exploded with ter
rifle force, blowing the whole top Of
the mountain off and destroying Ia
portion of the village of miners there.
Eighty-seven men, women and chit
Gren were killed and mary Others
badly injured. None Of the mei, IL,
the mine were seriously hurt. Among
the killed were Herman Lentiman,
SUPERINTENDENT of the mine, and his
family. The government has ordcre@'
IN official investigation OF the acci-
dent. .E#@
Electric wires connecting with the
hosting machinery passed through
the room in which this dynamite was
stored, and it is supposed that Ties"
wires became crossed, thereby caus-
irr a fire which set Off the dynamite.
Al of the killed and injured were
located on the surface, most Of them
occupying residences Immediately

the mine. The explosion tore away
the whole top of the mountain or
which the village of the miners was

war Office:
I'm view OF the recent Boer activity

THE South African mounted CON

in the colonies, may be relied upon
to exceed 5000, and the new colonial

CARNEGIE SELLS OUT.

New York, Feb. S.--The ncTotia-

stock of the Carnegie company to j..
peirpont Morgan and his assocSa ties,
announcement of the pcndcncy OF
which was made On January Is, have
Eecn brought to u successful con-
clusion.
The operation surpasses in rnagnl-
tude the colossal transaction by
which the control of the Southern Pa
ciGc company only few days ago
pass ed to q syndicate Of Union Pacific
interests, for Mr.. Carnegie held near
~ 81 per cent Of the $l0o,0OO,ooO stock
OF the Carnegie company.
This stock is not listed on any eN-
change, but has been quoted in the
open market as high as $1,000 for q
$1,000 share, so that, assuming that
Mr.. Carnegie has disposed of his
stock holdings at par, he will receive
fully $S5.OOo,0o0 for them, while re-
tanning his SO or 81 per cent interest
in the $l6OOOG,0O0 bond issue of the
Carnegie company.
The object of Mr.. Morgan and the
interests allied with him in ncgotiat-
in" with Mr.. Carnegie for the pur-
chase Of control of the Carnegie com
pany was the assurance of peace and
enduring peace in the vast steel in
dustry in the United States, and this

The Hague, Feb. Queen wilmer
minas marriage to Duke Henry OF
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS., who yester-
day became Prince Heinrich OF the
Netherlands, was huge family
affair. All Holland that could, came
to The Hague to participate. Those
who STAYED at their homes in other
cities and villages of the kingdom
celebrated with parades and ban
quets. Never was seen more peau'
tiful and happy wedding. The popu-
lar belief is that it is q love match,
like that of Albert and Victoria, and
this gives romantic coloring to the
event which is generally lacking in
royal marriages. The ceremonies
we're the same simple and unr1tualls-
tic rites of the Reformed church by
which the humblest of Queen Wllhel-
mina's subjects are married. Inc
whole spirit of the affair was pam
and democratic, although the costly
gowns and Jewels and the snowy UNI
forms of distinguished personages,
high officials of the kingdom, OF the
army and navy, and representatives
of the people in parliament ana the
municipalities furnished regal state

TITUS AMENDMENT DEAD
Supreme Court Affirms Dewey $
I, Decision

. i 4
4 Des Moines. Feb. 2.-The supreme
court handed down an opinion III tht
] Titus amendment case yesterday
holding that the amendment IS IN
valid because of the failure TO recoro
it in full in the journal of the house
of the Twenty-seventh general u.s.
scmbly.
Owing to this slight technical error
the people of Iowa cannot nave pleh'
NAL elections for at least four years
in spite of the fact that an amend
| ment to the constitution to secure
them passed by an overwhelming ma
jority in November. -
The supreme court follows the ue-
cision in the case OF Aochier vs.
Lanpe. holding that the issue was
clearly raised then and that in 1t, the
prohibitory amendment case, IT was
held that an amendment must De
recorded in full in the journals OF
both houses.
Owing to this conclusion the ques-
ton of the interpretation OF the
amendment is not considered.
1.-THE conclusion, therefore, ex-
pressed by this court in the koehler
case is not dictum, but is dec'slon'
concludes the court, "and we hus'
either follow it or overrule II. we
consider that inasmuch as 1t involves
the construction of our own consul
tuition and has been recognized Tor
many wears as making definite ard
certain the method TO be pursued in
amending the constitution, 1t shctll1
be followed. And in conclusion, with
reference to that case, we CONSIDER
that it is not for us to determine
that of the two questions 1nVoIvea'
relating to the method of amending
the constitution, one only was re-
carded as decided, while The other
was simply discussed. The conclus.
ion of the court as to either one OF
these two questions would have de"
ter,nined the case. and one con-
cusion is as binding upon us rs the
other.
"Therefore. following the decision
OF the court in the KoeElcr case, we
hold that the proposed amendment
not having been entered upon the
;ournal of the house of the Twenty
seventh general assembly was not
proposed and adopted as required by
our constitution and has not become
u part thereof.

The author of this story is Mrs Gertrude
Potter Daniels. OF Chicago, whose father
and husband are said TO be spectators and
possessed Of large wealth. The story is
rather a strange one TO come from such a
source, for it is an almost fierce arraign-
ment and protest against the assumed
wrongs OF capital on labor. An ambitious
young workingman falls in love with
pretty typewriter whom he marries and
they are very happy for several years, until
Satan, in the form OF a Standard oil specu-
lator, enters their lives. Then follow
series of prosecutions and misfOrtunes, in
Guiding their financial ruin. the seduction
and ruin of their daughter and ending with
the destruction of all their happiness and
one or two murders. The story Is graphic,
in sense, but il has no literary merit and
its moral tendency is 10 promote class dis
content and anarchism. The author seems
TO have been more DESTROYS of writing
book that would sell than Of effecting any
reform. Her style is loose and verges at
times on slanginess. a grammatical error
like HE laid awake all night is not mere
offensive than such an expression as She
had made big effect him" Yet IN
spite Of these defects and lack OF moral
tone the story has the kind Of interest that
will cause 4 to be read on railway train.

Already papers are demanding that the
Anarchists be driven out of the country.
This is based upon the assumption that all
Anarchists are foreigners. The assassin
who attempted the life Of the President is
a native American, and it will be found
that large part of them are American
citizens. But if they could be banished, to
what country could they be sent? Are we
prepared to send assassins to murder the
rulers of other lands? And If all Anarchists
or those who have the views of anarchistic
hate in their hearts should be banished, is
it not possible that the number would be so
| large as to make their transportation diff
fcult? 1t is unwise to disguise the situa-
ton. The number Of persons who exult
over the deed of the assassin is larger than
most people suspect During several weeks,
as before observed a primary teacher OF
anarchy has been speaking to small au-
diences near the Circle quite frequently.
He has not advised the shooting of Presi-
dents but he has declared that the gov
eminent is in the hands of millionaires or
their tools in Washington. In his last
| speech he declared that the only way to
get rid of millionaire was to put bullet
into his brain. There Is a class of people
who imbibe such sentiments. They read
the papers which are filled with them.
Very naturally they hate those who are
| called capitalists. and are rather pleased
than otherwise when public official &C
cused of favoring trusts is murderously as
| sailed. We use the name Anarchist with a
shudder Of horror but those persons who,
like Senator Wellington, are utterly indif-
ferent at the shooting of the President and
those who unguardedly declare that they
are glad Of it." when allusion is made to
the crime, are impregnated with the virus
of anarchy.

The Road to Ridgeby's.

This story has a bit of sad history con-
nected with it IN that it is a posthumous
work of young newspaper man and writer
Of fine promise, Frank b. Harris, who put
his best efforts into first novel which was
also to be his last, and which he barely
lived to complete and revise without ever
seeing its proof sheets. He had lived and
worked in Omaha and Chicago, and he died
on the way TO New Mexico, where he war
going in the hope Of regaining his shattered
can one 1t is a story of farm life In the
middle West and in spite OF certain limlta-
lions and structural defects, due perhaps
to ineXperience, il presents true and hu-
man pictures of the scenes and characters
with which it deals. The heroine is a pref
ty girl whe, left as a founding baby on q
farmers doorstep was brought up as his
daughter sent to Vassar for two years
and became very attractive young
dining-room girl and milkmaid, but at
tracts the reader from the start. The hero
is an educated young man who happens
along that way and, pleased with the girl
at first sight, hires out as a farm hand.
The rest can be surmised. Quite num-
Der of typical rustic characters are intro
duced and there is a good deal OF rustic
dialect, but the love affair between the
young man and the girl holds the main
the first, but with some meanderings ii
turns out all right Without much plot
the story possesses genuine interest and
shows unmistakable marks OF originality
and careful literary workmanship. Boston:
