First Lieut.. Louis Joseph Van Schaick,

subject of official consideration by the

This is the third operation Lieutenant
Van Schaick has undergone since his re-
turn from the Orient. In November last
he received two ugly bolo cuts across
the left forearm. One was just above
the wrist and the other was midway be-
tween the wrist and the elbow. The
former was half through his arm, con-
sequently severing the nerves, arteries
and cords.
At the Barracks Hospital Major Bor-
den, post surgeon, conceived the idea
of opening the arm and joining the
nerves, arteries and cords. This was
done successfully after two operations.

sisted by Surgeons Ford and Connor,
amputated the little finger at the sec
ond joint The lieutenant now has per-

DOES NOT EXPECT STRIKE.
senator Hanna Thinks Bifuminous
Miners Will Continue
at Work.

Washington, May Ex-senator
Hanna returned to Washington Friday
from visit to Philadelphia, where he
went to attend social function, and
not to arrange matters connected
with the coal miners strike Senator
Hanna says he does not believe the
organizations of the United Mine
Workers in the bituminous district of
western Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland
and Illinois will strike, because they
are working under contracts which
give them what is to large extent
demanded by the anthracite miners,
and which the anthracite operators
will not agree to. Furthermore, the
coal produced by these mines, he says,
can supply the place of the anthracite
coal only to a limited extent. In the
states named a scale is agreed on
every year. Eight hours is a days
work. This year, in April, an agree
ment was made, and Senator Hanna
does not believe that a strike will be
ordered simply to create scarcity in
places other than those supplied by
the anthracite mines.

Washington, May 24.-Representa-

luton that is directly aimed at the
tender of a monument of Frederick
the Great to the United States. itsets
forth that the United States should not
accept from any foreign nation or
erect in any public place any statute
of any king, emperor, prince or po-
tentate who has ruled or is now ruling
any nation by the supposed divine
right of kings. The resolution further
sets forth that the acceptance of such
a statute by this government would
be reputation of it's basic prinei-
Piles as enunciated in the bill of rights
and constitution, an insult to the mem
cries of our revolutionary fathers
an admission that one man may gov
ern a nation without the consent of
the governed-and after his death
have his statute erected in our repub-
lie, and the doctrine of the divine right
of kings to rule thereby approved.

TERI &c EXPLOSION IN A MINI.
Nine Dead Bodies Recoyered-AT Total
of 100 Men Still Entombed, and
1t Is Feared All Have 8
Persisted

Vancouver, b. G., May PA special
from Fernie, B. G., says: A terrible
explosion occurred at 1880 Thursday
evening in No. 2 shaft of the Crows
Nest Pass Coal company's mine near
Fernie. The explosion extended to No
3 shaft. One hundred and thirty-three
men were working in the mine at the
time of the explosion. Only "a are
known to have escaped. Nine dead
bodies have been taken out. OF the
100 men entombed' it is feared the great.
majority are dead. No and No. 3
shafts are situated on Coal creek, six
miles from Fernie. They have always.
been considered dangerous, being
dusty and gaseous. tits said the first
explosion occurred in No. 2 mine,
where it is alleged miner lighted
match. The explosion was repeated
in No. 8 mine, the two shafts being
connected.
The scenes at the mines and in the
village of Fernie are heartrending.
Hardly house has escaped affection.
The work of rescue has been hurried
and perfect order prevails, assistance
coming from every available source.
The presence of coal damp is adding
TO the danger Of rescue work. People
are hoping against hope, but it is IN
likely that any of the miners now en-
tombed in the shafts will be seen again
alive. A new fear has become general
that the mines may catch fire ata any
time and survivors are being besought
by their relatives not to venture into
the shafts even for rescue work.
