A MINING DISASTER.
Deadly Explosion Of Dust In
a Tennessee Mine.
SEVENTEEN KNOWN TO Be DEAD.
Forty-five Men nt work when the
Accident Occurred. and 1t Is
Feared That All Have
rerishcd.

CHATTANOOGA. May 2S.-A spe
cial from Dayton says that an explosion
of mine dust occurred in the new Rich
land coal mine of the Dayton Coal and
Iron company at ) O'Clock yesterday aft
ernoon and that the dead bodies of IL
white miners have already been taker
from the outer drift and that five more
are known TO be dead. 1t is stated that
4o men, all white, were at work in the
mine, and 1t is feared all have pershed.
Relief gangs are ut work, but on ac
count of the immense amount of debri,
in the shaft the work has been slow and
tedious. The mine is Il new one And
extends about 1000 feet.
The explosion is thought to have been
caused by an open lamp carried by one
of the miners. The mine is several miles
from Dayton. and details are difficult to
obtain. An explosion similar to this oc.

integral part Of the United States with
In the meaning of that provision of the
constitution requiring all duties, inn
posts and eXcises to he uniform through
out the United States The court held that
the cession simply made Porto Rico and
the Philippines domestic territory of the
United States, subject to the full control
of congress. which control could be ex-
Crcised without reference to those limita-
tions. This limitation the court held
was intended to apply to the states of the
Vnion and does not apply to acquired ter
iitory unless by treaty and by subse-
quent act of congress it is incorporated
within and becomes an integral part Of
the United States. The decisions are
substantially n victory for the govern
ment. They sustain to the fullest extent
the so called insular policy of the ad-
ministration. The government now has
the sanction of the supreme court for
governing these islands as their needs re-
guire.
The court holds that the constitution
did not of its own force at once apply
to those ceded territories, placing their
people. their products and their ports on
an immediate equality with ours and
comforting upon them all the rights,
privileges and immunities enjoyed by the
people, products and ports of the several
states. While their fundamental rights
are preserved by those underlying prin-
ciples Of the constitution which apply ev-
erywhere the status of their citizens and
the nature of the customs and CONNER
cial regulations are to be determined by
congress in the exercise of the power
vested by the constitution in congress to
make all needful rules and regulations
respecting territory belonging to the
United States. Obviously what l have
said regarding Porto Rico applies equal
ly well to the Philippines, so that the
president is perfectly free under the
Spooner act to govern the Philippines as
their needs and their interests may re-
quire.
AT the same time that the court has
sustained to the fullest extent the con-
tention of the government in these cases
il has decided as matter of statutory
construction that the Dingley act could
not be held to impose duties on goods
brought from Porto Rico because by
ccssion Porto Rico became domestic ter
ritory of the United States and therefore
ceased to be n foreign country The
decisions of the court call for no change
in the administration of the law"

COLUMBIA, S. c., May Pit is
understood that Senator McLaurin and
Senator Tillman have tacit agreement
to contest for the long term to which
Tillman was elected last January. I'm
der the state Democratic party rules the
candidate must designate specifically the
office to which he aspires. Whether Nc
Laurin wins over Tillman or Tillman is
reelected McLaurin's uneXpired term
will be filled by a new man.
The governor has the right to appoint
regardless of party action, and an effort
will be made to get him to appoint new
men on the ground that Tillman and
McLaurin have overstepped the bounds
of propriety.
The State newspaper editorially today
calls on a third candidate to 90 into the
race with Tillman and McLaurin, hoping
that the two latter will be defeated.

Rear Admiral Sampson, in official cor
respondence made public in Washington,
has taken a position distinctly offensive
TO American ideas. says n correspondent.
The naval appropriation bill authorized
the President TO promote six warrant
officers in the navy TO the grade of ensign
each year after an examination to deter
mine their qualifications. 4 young GIN
ner in the navy named Morgan, who was
in charge of the divers that investigated
the wreck of the Maine, and afterward
served with Sampson ON the flagship
New York, applied to his former CONF
mander for recommendations for promo
ton under the provision referred TO.
Capt. Sigsbee gave him hearty indorse-
ment, but Admiral Sampson, while tes-
tifying to his efficiency as a non-commis-
stoned officer and has solderly appear
ance and behavior, advised against his
advancement on the ground that he had
not enjoyed the social advantages neces-
sary TO qualify him 80 enter the navy.
The admiral also eXpre .sed tle hope that
the Secretary of the Navy would not
carry out that provision of the bill which
authorizes the promotion of warrant off,
GERS because the chief duty Of the navy
In time of peace is to represent the coun-
try abroad, and The officers should there
fore be laeu of refinement Secretary
Long ana the President do not agree with
Admiral Sampson. While Sampson will
be criticised aud denounced for snobbish-
ness by the public generally. his position
will be sustained by the officers of the
navy, who have assumed to be the aris-
tocracy and exclusive branch of the gov
eminent and have stubbornly opposed ev-
cry proposition that looked 10 the promo
ton of men from the ranks. There are
now on the list several officers, like Ad-
mral Hichborn, who came into the ser
vice from civil liz through the engineer
and construction corps, but since 1860
no one has been commissioned who has
not been educated at Annapolis The law
authorizes the President to promote pri-
waite soldiers who have distinguished
themselves in the army after an examina-
ton that shall demonstrate the mental
and moral qualifications, but this has
never been allowed in the navy until
now. The engineer corps in the navy
have complained of social osfTaeism by
the officers of the line in cases whore the
officers entered the service from civil life.
Candidates for payinaster and surgeon
have been compelled 10 bring powerful
social influences TO secure appointments,
and there is no question that Admiral
Sampson has expressed the almost unan-
imous sentiments Of the navy.
