Fearful Result OF Attempt to ''Thaw
Out Dynamite

Keyser, w. Va, December 2S.-One
of the most disastrous accidents in the
history of railroad building in this sec
ton happened at Bake camp near Dur
bin, Pocahontas county, on the line of
the Coal and Iron railroad now building
out from Elkins. AS the result of a
dynamite explosion six men are dead
and several others are not expected to
live.
The accident happened at loon yes
terday while the men were at dinner.
Some dynamite had been placed about
the stove to thaw out and shortly after
a terrific explosion wrecked the camp,
killed three men outright and injured
eight others, three of whom hav died.
The dead men were blown into atoms,
legs, arms and hands n other parts
of their bodies being found in different
directions from the little building in
which they lived among the wild
mountains. Physicians hurried from
Greenbank and worked all night with
the wounded. some of whom begged
the doctors to shoot them instead of
helping them to live to be blinded or
manned for life. On account of indirect
connections with the camp it is impoS-
sible to secure the complete details to-
night.

THE POPE THREATENS FRANCE
Because of Proposed Anti-Catholic
Legislation,

Paris, December 2S.-The Matin pub
fishes an interview with the pope de-
voted exclusively to the attitude Of the
WaIdeck-Rousseau ministry toward
the religious congregations. Referring
to the premier's speech October 2Sth.
when NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau enlarged
upon the necessity of the chamber
passing a law regulating associations
"a measure directed against religious
congregations-the pontiff said:
The concordat is being changed
from an instrument of peace into one
of war and oppression Even in prot
estant countries religious rders are
not excluded from h liberties enjoyed
by other citizens. They will probably
return to England and the United
States, as in the days OF the terror, to
find a refuge against b iniquity OF
Catholic France.
THE associations bill Is the mega
ton OF all the laws Of liberty. I hope
the French government will not re-
nounce the services I am still able to
render her. Several times recently I
have been solicited by the head of a
powerful state to permit the rights Of
France in the east and far eas to be
disregarded. I have refused. although
compensations were offered to the
church, but IL the orders, without
which Catholic expansion is impoesi-
BILE, are to be suppressed. what answer
shall / give in a day when similar pro-
posals are made"

This disregard of the law of nations,

THE EXPANSION THEORY.
Secretary Long Traces 1t Back to the
Pilgrim Fathers

Boston, Mass, December 2S.-Secre-
tary of Navy John D. Long was the
central figure at a banquet of the Al
gonquin club tonight, when his achieve
ments in public was the theme of many
distinguished speakers. The hosts were
members of the Commercial Club.
Secretary Long pictured the expan-
sion of the commercial interests of the
country; eulogized Secretary Hay for
the work of the state department in this
direction; painted the free trade theory
as demolished; bespoke a modest word
for the navy and closed with a tribute
to the late Ex-Governor Roger Wolcott.
He said that this was the season for
the celebration of the landing of the
Pilgrim Fathers and proceeded to con-
trovert the idea that theirs was entire
ly a religious exodus, by asserting that
theirs was a commercial venture for a
view to developing the new worlds re-
sources n in a thrifty way to profit
by an exchange of it's products with the
Did world.
The secretary said the Pilgrims were
good business men. as is shown by the
fact that in a few years they found
out their promoters. They were ex-
p~ansionists, everything well out from
their borders. The secretary contin-
| ued:
The recent unhappy tumult in China
is only the effervescent accompaniment
| of the bursting of the seclusion of that
uncounted people; and it's commercial
relation with the world at large will in
the coming century bear in an inter
change of agricultural and m~anufac-
| tured products such as even the imag-
ination cannot picture. 1t is interesting
in this closing hour of the century tc
| compare the m of the world in
1900, which was something like 81, 400,
00O, 900, with it's commerce in 1906 which
is something like $40, 900, 600, 900.
In 1900 the m of the United
States was S162, O00, 0OO,, during the las
year 81, 200, 600, 900. 1t a been assum
ed hat our tariff policy, building III

THE CHINESE NEGOTIATIONS.
Reports of Opposition by the Chinese
OmcIals to the Demands

Washington, December 2S.-The Chi
nese embassy here Is without informa-
ton on the reports that Emperor
Kwang Su does not approve the de-
mands submitted by the powers. For
some days, however. the view "a pre-
vailed in Chinese quarters that the
terms were so harsh that il would be
difficult to seeur their acceptance
A report was in circulation in diplo-
matte quarters that me OF the !
ENJOYS was opposed 10 accepting the
terms, but II is not known whether
this report came from n authorita-
tive source. It was understood also
that Ii Hung Changs illness might
have some effect in retarding the nego-
tiations.
The state department has received
nothing from Minister Conger to indi-
cate hat the emperor oppose the &C
ceptance of the peace terms. The oni-
Gals continue to be hopeful of an ear
ly acceptance. The points referred TO
as Objectionable 10 the Chinese, chiefly
the maintenance of legation guards.
are not regarded here as likely to form
serious barriers to an agreement as all
of the powers probably will give visible
evidence, at an early dav. of their
purpose to reduce the legation guards
as soon as China shows good faith in
accepting the conditions.
In some diplomatic quarters, it is be-
lieved that the reported opposition Of
the emperor will not lea to a rejec-
ton of the demand. but to the submis.
sion Of a ounte proposition or inqui.
ry from China. This woul save China
| her rights to accept the terms at 6
| later period, while in the meantime
seeking to reduce their severity.

ALARM in KENTUCKY
RUMOR THAT ARMED INDIANIANS
WILL INVADE THE STATE.
Unconfirmed Report that Evansville
and BOOnvilie Miners Will
Cross the Ohio River.

MADISONvILLE. KY. April 1.-THE
strike situation here has become alarming,
and it is feared it may be necessary to call
out the troops. A strong force of nonunior
those i'm the union. Several assaults have
been committed, and a nonunion man
named Roscoe Garrett was killed by Ike
Todd a member Of the United Mine Work
ers. Todd shot his man and then turned to
run. and. though a crowd of CARROTS s
friends fired on him, he escaped. James d.
Wood. president of district No. of the
United Mine Workers Union, was struck
by a nonunion man named Jim Blanks, but
not seriously hurt.
DARLINGTON. Ky, April 17.-Informa
tion received here tonight from two inde-
pendent sources in southern Indiana says
the union miners of that coal field are
preparing for an armed invasion of Hop
kins county this week. The information is
from wholly reliable sources and was trans
mitted by telephone from Evansville and
Boonvile, Ind, TO darlington. The mes
sage from Evansville stated that the miners
of southern Indiana had notified the oper-
ators that, after Thursday afternoon they
would not work any more for three days and
that the mines would lie idle from that
time. They did not say for what purpose,
but 1t is believed the shutdown is for the
purpose of making an invasion into Ken
lucky and Hopkins county to terrify and
coerce the nonunion miners Of this county
so that they will cease work. The Indiana
operators have some contracts that need
daily attention and demanded that the
miners should not sacrifice these. The min
ers then agreed to leave enough men at
work TO fill these contracts and lay the
rest off The Boonville message came
later. The gentleman who telephoned from
that place said that sixty men there had
been buying guns and pistols with the
avowed purpose of going TO Hopkins
county.
The preparations 10 receive an invading
army are being made in Hopkins county.
and the authorities and miners themselves
say they will make Ii warm for men who
come from over the river to force the min
ers out.
