day, one by cSnator aeon in opposition

anything like it. 1t did not by long odds
accomplish what had been accomplished
by the Senate amendments made to tho

Mchiiiier gas a protege Of ex-Presi-
dent Hayes and up to the time OF the
iatter's death he recognized the ex-
president as his adviser and counselor.
He was in General Hayes regiment
during the civil war. General Hayes
knew him and his father well, and saw
In the dashing young cavalier the germ
OF greatness. He needed counselor,
an adviser. friend. and General
Hayes watched over him with the
flial love. devotion and pride of a
father.
The war ended, Mckinley still re-
manned an object of hope, OF interest
and pride to General Hayes. McKin-
ley became q candidate for congress
and was elected. When Hayes was
president. Mckinley was in the house
of representatives. The major was
frequent welcome visitor at the White
House. One day the president gave
Mckinley advice, which made McKin-
ley the foremost champion of a pro-
tectiye tariff. President Hayes thus
spoke to the young representative:
'"To achieve success and fame you
must pursue a special line. You must
not make speech on every motion
offered or bill introduced. You must
confine yourself to one particular
thing. Become a specialist. Take up
some branch of legislation. and make
that your study. Why not take up the
subject Of tariff? Being q subject that

Governor Mckinley took the greatest
interest in the management of the pNb-

state board of arbitration was created,

energy which he displayed in securing
relief for the 1000 miners in the Hook

1895 were reported out of work and
destitute. The news first came to the
governor one night at midnight. but be-
fore 5 o'clock in the morning he had
upon his own responsibility dispatched
to the afflicted district a car containing
$1,000 worth of provisions. Later he
made appeals for assistance and finally
distributed among the 2.732 families in
the district clothing and provisions to
the amount of $50, 1906.

A terrific explosion of gas In the
Spring Gulch mine of the Colorado
Fuel and Iron company, located is
miles from this place, caused the
death of six miners and the serious
injury Of three others, besides much
damage to the tunnel in which the ex.
p1esion occurred. AS soon as the ex.
plosion occurred a messenger was
sent to the Pocahontis mine, seven
miles away, to telephone here for as
sistance. He stated that at the time
of the accident the entire force of 100
miners was in the mine and 1t was
thought that all had persisted. A later
messenger brought the information
that less than half an hour previous to
the time OF the explosion all but few
of the employees had gone off duty,
thus preventing more serious calam-
ity. The explosion was caused by gas
becoming ignited by the blasts.

Capitol Rooms Transformed Into !

Washington, Sept. 1S.-The opening
Of the doors Of the rotunda Of the Cap
itol in order to permit an inspection of
the remains of President Mckinley
caused rush of the vast throng that
had been congregated on the east side
Of the building since early morning.
The result was that many women and
children were badly hurt. The crowd
brushed by the police Gordon stationed
at the foot Of the steps as II 1t had
been chaff. A terrible congestion on
the Capitol steps and at the entrance
door followed. At the latter point
there was such extreme pressure that
numbers of women tainted. Many
who thus became helpless were lifted
up bodily and carried out over the
beads Of the crowd while others, less
fortunate, were trampled under foot
and seriously bruised. OF the latter
II or Is were taken into the Capitol.
The room Immediately under the ro-
tunda, where the presidents remains
lay in calm and peaceful repose, was a
temporary hospital, filed with scream
ing women, lying prone upon inn
provised couches. One of them had a
broken arm and another had suffered
internal injuries, which caused ex-
circulating pain. The Office Of the cap
tain of police also was used to ac-
commodate the injured as were also
several other places about the build
ing. 1t is estimated that no fewer than
so women and children were injured
to some extent. but most of them were
able to go to their homes. A few were
taken to the emergency hospital.
