nineteen men on the furnace when the
explosion occurred. Fifteen Of them
were caught in the flames. Two Of
them escaped with slight injuries. The
other four were the regular men en-
ployed as top filters and escaped with
out injury. The explosion was caused
by the gas becoming cncased in crust
of cinder forming at the bottom of the
furnace. A wheelbarrow containing ore
had been sent up to the men and when
they went to dump it into the bell of
the furnace they pushed it over too far,
and it rolled into the hopper. The bar
cow weighed 900 pounds and was too
heavy for the four men to raise. The

To Step Out as Soon as the Presi-
dent Can Secure a Successor.
Washington, Dec. 22.-The New York
announcement of Secretary Cages
resignation is quite generally credited
in Washington. His address Thursday
night is regarded as a sort of valedic-
tory to official duties. It is Secretary
Cages intention to relinquish the treas
ury portfolio as soon as President
Roosevelt can find a suitable successor
and he has so informed the president.
Mr. Gage would like to be relieved be-
fore spring. The president has done all
he could to dissuade Secretary Gage
from retiring and probably will con-
tinue to use his efforts in that direc-
ton. Secretary Cages intention to re-
tire was made known to the president
some time ago.

Persons Arc Killed.
San Francisco, CAL, Dec. 21.-North
and south-bound Southern Pacific coast
limited trains running between this
city and Los Angeles, came together in
head-on collision at Upiands early
yesterday morning. Three persons
were killed and twenty-five passengers
more or less injured. Both engines
were demolished and the baggage and
smoking and chair cars OF the north
bound train burned. None of the pas
sengers or cars of the south bound
train were injured. The only passen-
gers hurt were those in the smoking
and day coaches of the north-b bound
train. In the smoker were half dozen
Italian laborers. Four of them were
badly bruised and scalded by escaping
steam. The accident was due. the rail-
way officials say, to the failure of the
engineer of the north-bound train to
follow out his orders, which instructed
him to wait at siding at Uplands un-
til the south bound passed.
