FATAL DISASTER IN MINI
THE DEATH OF TWENTY
ONE MEN
ACCIDENT AT DAYTON, TENN.
OF Thfrty-FOur Miners at Work Only
Four Escaped Death or Sc
rtOus, Perhaps Fatal,
Injury.

DAYTON, Tenn, May N.-At the Rich
land mine of the Dayton Coal and Iron
company, two miles from Dayton, at 4:3O
o'clock this afternoon, terrific explo-
sion of coal dust resulted in the death
Of twenty-one men, all white, and most
Of them married and with families.
The dead:
Tom Wright, Dick Smith, VIII
Matthews, Sam Smith, Bailey Smith, Tom
Terry Smith, Abe Gothard, Sam Bur
wick, Jim Pickle, Wash Trasley Oscar
Rodgers, Lewis G. Rodgers, Lowry Haw-
kins, j: F. Walker, Perry Pope, Lige
Poole, Andy Medley and Will Rose.
The explosion was caused by what IS
known among miners as "blown blast"
1t is the custom of the miners to place
blasts and fire them off at quitting time
each afternoon, leaving the coal thus
thrown down to be loaded and hauled
from the mine the next morning. The
Richland mine is destitute of water and
great volumes of fine particles of coal
dust, invisible to the naked eye accumu-
late at the roof of the mine. This dust
is subject to explosion if exposed 70
flames. This afternoon at 4:30 o'clock a
dynamite cartridge was placed in posi-
ton in one of the rooms for a blast and
the miners started for the mouth of the
mine. The blast did not explode as in
tended, but instead a long flame shot
out of the blast hole and ignited the ac-
emulation of dust. Instantly a terrific
explosion occurred and a seethng mass
of flames shot to the mouth of the mine
and extended three hundred feet into the
open air, scorching the leaves from the
nearby trees.
ONLY FOUR ESCAPED.
There We're thirty-four men in the nine
H. ~
slight injury Twenty-one were killed and
nine were terribly burned, most of them
fatally. The force of the explosion caused
great masses Of coal and slate to cave in
from the roof of the mine and many of
the fated miners were completely buried.
Word quickly reached Dayton and rescue
forces were at once organized and pro-
ceeded to the mine. One by one the black
ened and horribly disfgured bodies We're
taken from the debris and carried to the
mouth of the mine, where they were put
Scores of relatives and friends gathered
at the mouth Of the mine, and the
shrieks Of anguish as the bodies were
removed were heartrending.
The two undertaking establishments
at Dayton were turned into morgues,
where the mangled bodies were dressed
and prepared for delivery to their famil-
les All Oh the men employed IN this mine
were residents of Dayton
The Richland mine is the property of
the Dayton Coal & Iron company, COM
posed of Glasgow capitalists. The com
pany operates an iron furnace at Dayton
and operates coal mines in connection

December %. 1895, a similar explosion
occurred in the Nelson mine, situated
a few hundred feet from where today' s
explosion occurred, in which twenty-eight
miners were instantly killed

CONSTITUTION DOES NOT
NECESSARILY FOLLOW FLAG
What the Court Says in Sustaining the Foraker
Act Imposing Duties on Importatons
From Porto Rico

Following the opinion in the De Lima
case, Justice Brown delivered the op Mon
of the court in the case of Downes vs.
Collector Bidwell, Of the port of New
York in which suit was brought by
Downes to recover back duties to the
amount of S659.35 eXacted and paid under
protest upon certain oranges consigned
to the plaintiff at New York and brought
thither from the port of San Juan, in the
Island of Porto Rico, during the month
Of November, 1900. This case involved
the question whether merchandise
brought into the port of New York from
Porto Rico since the passage of the For
nller act is exempt from duty, notwith-
standing the third section of that act,
which requires the payment of "15 per
cent of the duties which are required
to be levied, collected and paid upon like
articles of merchandise imported from
foreign countries"
The circuit court of the United States
for the Southern district of New York
sustained the government in this position
In imposing a duty.
ARE HELD CONSTITUTIONAL.
The supreme court affirmed the opinion
OF the circuit court, saying:
"Wc are of opinion that the island
OF EoFto Rico Is n territory appur-
tenant and belonging to the United
States, but not part of the United
st"tes within the revenue clause of
the constitution; that the Foraker
net Is constitutional so far rs il i'm
poses duties upon imports from
such island, and TINT the pIaintfff
cannot recover back the duties ex-.
acted i'm this casc."
The opinion of the court went into the
case very fully. Justice Brown early in
his opinion outlined the distinction be-
tween this case and the De Lima case
which had just been decided, saying:
In the case of De Lima VS.. Bidyeli
we hold that upon the ratification of the
treaty Of peace with Spain, Porto Rico
ceased to be a foreign country, and that

arc to leave China are off for Manila.
PEKIN, May 27-It seems probable
that Great Britains proposition limiting
the indemnity to be demanded from
China to 35O,O 100000 taels, will be agreed
to by the end of the week United States
special commissioner Rockhill thinks this
may be considered an American victory
Though his proposition limiting indem-
nifty to 310,000,00O taels was not accepted,
still it was the cause of thF either powers
considering the idea. Tie only point
likely to cause further delay in decision
by all the powers except America is that
regarding the raising Of the foreign Gus
toms per cent.
Mr.. Rockhill told the ministers at a
recent meeting that rather than take this
step America would relinqudsh all claims
to indemnity and even make q money
present to China, as American CONNER
cial interests would suffer far more
thereby than those of any ctner power,
with possibly one exception

that all duties, imposts and exc'ses shall

Inc case also involves the broader
question whether the revenue clauses of
the constitution extend of their own force
TO our newly acquired territories. The
constituticn itself does not answer the
question. It's solution must be found in
the nature of the government created bv
that instrument in the opinion of re
contemporaries In the practical con-
struction put upon it by congress. and in
the decisions Of this court
Justice Brown then entered upon a re-
view Of the formation of the government
and the constitutional provision requiring
that duties, imposts and eXcises shall
De uniform throughout the United
States" saying that It Is explained bv
subsequent provisions of the constitution
that no tax or duty shall be laid unon
n n
preference shall be given by anv regu1a-
tion of commerce or revenue to the ports
OF one state over those of another nor
shall vessels bound to or from one state
