MRS. NATION ANGRY.
Visits n St. Louis Saloon Named After
Her and Upbraids the
Proprietor.

st. Louis, March 26.-Mrs. Carrie Ma
ton favored St. Louis with a short
visit Monday. En- route to Cincinnati
the famous saloon wrecker stopped
here between trains and visited a
liquor establishment on Market street
That had been named after her.
Mrs. Nation called the proprietor to
task for daring to name his establish
ment after her. The saloon man said
he belonged to the nation, as did his
customers, and he meant to retain the
name. Mrs. Nation was compelled to
continue her journey without secur-
ing the object of her visit. She was
followed by a crowd as soon as her
identity became known.
Mrs. Nation will meet her manager in
Cincinnati, and will proceed to Lex
'ngton. KY, where she will lecture
at night Several lectures will be
delivered by Mrs. Nation ON this trip
before returning home.

AGAINST WATER COMPANIES.
ders Decisions Affecting Freeport,
Danville and Rogers PARK, III.

Washington, March 26.-h the
United States supreme court Monday
opinions were handed down in sew
eral cases involving the construction
OF the state law of Illinois authoriz-
ing cities and villages to contract for
water and waterworks. The cases
decided affect the water systems of
Freeport, Danville and Rogers Park,
in that state. The water companies
in each case contended that the law
of 1872 and other subsequent acts
authorizing town and city authorities
to contract for water supply for 30
years included the right to fix rates
for that time and that the rate once
fixed could not be changed. They ar
gued that ordinances fixing rates
were in the nature of contracts for
the term of 30 years. In the case of
the Freeport company the rate of
SIS for each fire hydrant was first
fixed by ordinance, but it was re-
duced by subsequent ordinance to
$50. The water company attacked
the validity of this ordinance and
took the case into the state courts.
The Illinois supreme court decided
against the company, holding the or
dinance reducing the price of water
to be valid. Mondays opinion sus-
tanned the finding of the state court.
Justice McKenna, in handing down
the opinion, said the state statues
were ambiguous, but that it had been
thought advisable to decide that am
biguity in the interest of the public.
A dissenting opinion was handed
down by Justice White, on the ground
that the first ordinance was a con-
tract. In this dissenting opinion
Justices Brewer, Brown and White
concurred. The opinions in all the
other cases were on similar, lines.

TERRIBLE NINE EXPLOSION

SEVERAL OF the INJURED MEN WILL DIE
Accumulation Of Fire Damp in New
klOndike Coke Field in Fayette
County, Ignited by Day Shift of
Men-Of % Men Only ~ Escape-
Pitiable Scenes.

Connellsville, Pa, March ga spe-
cial train composed of a box car and
a fast engine, brought into Connells-
Vile Monday the most frightful host
of grooming, blackened and unrecog-
nizable men ever hauled into this town.
These were the victims of terrific
mine explosion at the Gates mine of
the Eureka Fuel company in the new
klondike coke fields in this (Fayette)
County. The mine has been worked
only few months. 1t is too early to
hazard a guess at the cause which led
to the accumulation OF enough gas to
make such fatal explosion.
Monday morning % men reported for
duty and went into The pit. Of this
number 16 were caught in the awful
grip of the scorching breath of the
tirs-da'np and singed and blackened.
AS soon after the explosion as possible
force of men was put to the rescue.
~ great crowd of grief-stricken wives
and relatives surrounded the shaft, one
by one the burned men were found,
and 16 were found to be dead or ter
ribly burned.
Mad Race to the Hospital
Nine still lived, and these were put
into box car. A fast engine was at
tached, and this hospital express was
rushed at one mile a minute speed to
Connellsville. The ambulance made
several fast trips, and landed all the
wounded men in the Cottage state hos
pital. Doctors F. H. White, H. J. Coll,
R. S. Mckee and L. P. Mccormick are
dressing the wounds, and other doc,
tors are summoned
Terrible Looking Objects.
The men are terrible looking OBJ
iects. The black flesh is being trimmed
off. Some have lost their eyes. others
fingers, and it is almost certain that
three or four of the wounded will die.
The dead men were taken to their
desolated homes. No names could be
learned here, as all the injured are
foreigners.
Cause of the Explosion.
Among the dead are Robert Nelson,
foreman, aged 46 years.
A powder blast touched off in the
main heading, it is thought, ignited
the fire damp.
Fire damp had collected at the face
of the heading 600 feet from the bot
tom of the shaft. The touching off
of the blast was followed by ter
rife flash and roar. The whole mine
shook and tremb1ed with the force of
the explosion and the miners were
hurled in all directions. The mine
took fire at once and in spite of all
efforts to quench the flames the fire
still RACES, but it is thought it can
be controlled in a short time.

Unable to Agree
Picking, March a4,-The foreign
ministers seem utterly unable to
agree as to the best method of polio
ing the legation quarter. The propc-
sition most favored by the majority
and most complained of by the mi
nority is one providing that men of
the regular armies shall be detailed
for the Servicr rD6er ono officer coD
nected with the allies.
United States Special Commission
er Rockhill is one who objects to this
plan, is also the British minister, Sir
Ernest Satow, who says that, though
an international force is desirab BILE, it
would be better that the police detail
should be composed of soldiers who
are not liable to be called away when
they are most useful. 1t is also I'M
desirable, he thinks. that the COM
mandant should be an officer active
ly connected with any army, while
the intention to make each legation
practically an armed camp is a great
mistake and is liable to cause fric-
ton; and it would be better far to
make a general international district.
The time which the Russians have
given the Chinese to sign the Man.
churian agreement expires on Tues
day, and should the agreement not
be signed then Russia will break off
the negotiations. The agreement
