The Crime of War.

The Crime of War.
Jan. 28-At anniversary dinner given at
the Metropolitan club by the publishers Of
Golfers Weekly, with war correspondents
as guests of honor, message was received
from Andrew Carnegie blaming Great Brit
ain for the Transvaal war and championing
the cause Of the Beers. Mr.. Carnegie wrote:
1.-THE killing OF men by men under the name
OF war is the foulest blot upon humanity to-
day. We see much discussion as to what is
or what Is not permissible under civilized
warfare There can be no such thing as CIV
ilized warfare. We have made little prog
ress in the path of genuine civilization as
long find better substitute for
the settlement of International disputes than
the brutal murder OF one another. AS gen.
cral proposition, it may be stated that the
nation which refuses peaceful arbitration is
responsible for the war which ensues. Brit
ain having done this in its dispute with the
Transvaal republic, is responsible Cor the
| termination Of a brave and heroic Christian
people
"But let us also remember that we are to-
day engaged in shooting down Christian
Filipinos, whose only crime is that they be-
lieve in the declaration of independence. Sad,
that both branches OF the so-called most high
ly civilized race should be guilty of the most
| uncivilized crimes. Let us all pray that this
disgrace is soon to pass away"

 Minneapolis Minn, July 1e.-County Attorney Boardman has declared that Superintendent of Police Ames must now be regarded as missing. Sheriff Dreger has been asked by the grand jury to institute search for the missing chief.
 strange snar1 has developed over the position of Police Captain John Fitchette, who was convicted of traf- licking in in police jobs and who in- sists that he yet holds the rank of po- lice captain. In the shift of police of- ficials, directed by acting chief Hill. Fitchette has been assigned to duty at the mayors office. This order was dictated by Mayor Ames, notwith- standing the decree of court which re- moved Fitchette from office as a result of his sentence for bribe taking. The convicted captain is now out on bond pending appeal proceedings. The only policeman who has been dismissed from the force as a result. of the cur rent municipal scandal is John Long, on whose testimony Fitchette was con- yfcted.
 The police officials are now wrangl- ing among themselves. Charges of disorderly conduct have been prefer red against Fitchette for his recent individual raid of the downtown re- sorts. When he is arraigned he will enter charges against Captain Krum- weide for interfering with an officer, Fitchette claiming that he was acting under orders from Mayor Ames when he was prevented from continuing his personally conducted raids.

TWO MINES GONE.

 Was Felt for Miles-TWo Horses One
 and a Half Miles Away Were Killed .rWomen and Children Throng the
 Vicinity of the Mines for News of
 Husbands and Fathers.
 Park City, Utah, July 16.-Two pow der magazines at the 1,200-foot level of the Daly-West silver mine exploded about l o'clock this morning, causing q loss of life that at present cannot be estimated nor even guessed at At I o'clock twenty-seven men had been taken out of the mine dead and several others had been recovered in half dazed condition. These were all brought out through the Ontario mine shaft, which is mile distant from the Daly-West, in which the explosion oc- cured. The 1,200 level of the Daily West corresponds to and is connected by tunnel with the 60o-foot level of the Ontario.
 In the Da1y-West mine between 100 and 150 men were at work. In the Ontario there were nearly 100, it is be-
 
 these are dead, but the disaster extends sto the Ontario, as the noxious gases that have been freed are known to be the cause of several of the deaths. The presence of these gases leads many miners to believe that the powder was burned and that the explosion was not the chief cause of the disastaer.
 There are two powder magazines at the 1,200 level of the Da1y-West, one at each side of the shaft with capaci- ty Of from one to two cars of powder each. A car of powder was added to the supply within, the past few days. Three dead men haye. been taken ont of the Ontario shaft They are George Garvin, = Sweibel, both employees of Edward Copp. who. has the hauling contract for the Daily West. and -- Soderup, miner employed in the On tario, who wds working at least a mile from the magazine that exploded tt Is believed all three were suffocated
 The explosion, which occurred at 1 o'clock, was so tremendous that it awakened everyone within a radius of several miles As an example of it's awful force, it is said that two horses in the ore tunnel. one and half miles away, were killed by it.
 Women and children are thronging to the Ontario shaft house. which is midway between Park City and the paly-West. Nearly all of them have husbands or fathers in the mines. and their grief is pitiable All of the doc- tors in town are at the mines and are doing what they can to resuscitate the unconscious men as they are taken cut. It is difficult to obtain information down town, as the telephone to the mine has failed
 Members of relief party who went Into the Ontario mine shortly after tie explosion occurred have not yet re- turned and fears are entertained for their safety.

THE STORM IN NEW YORK
Flag Pole on the Roof of Tammany
 Hall Was Shattered.

New York, July 16.-A violent storm of rain and hail, accompanied by heavy lightning, last night, put an end to the hot wave here. Brooklyn suburbs were swept by the hail which shattered many windows. Trees were uproot- ed in the gale and two houses set on fire by lightning. In the lower sec tion of Manhattan the most severe ef- fleets were noticed. The steel frame work of the Hanover banks new 22- story building at Pine and Nassau streets, was apparently charged with electricity, sparks dancing with al most as great brilliancy as that given out by the arc lights.
 Lightning struck the flag pole on the roof of Tammany Hall shattering the staff half way down it's length. As the splintered wood fell into 14th street crowds made a rush for pieces to bear off as souvenirs. The bolt passed off without doing further in jury.
 The storm was general throughout the northern part of New Jersey. Lightning struck the steeple of the Arlington M. D. church, setting it on fire. The firemen were unable to cope with the fire so high fn the air and the steeple burned down 120 feet to the roof of the church.
 Hail stones fell in Newark, doing considerable damage.
 A terrific storm visited the Muscon- eting valley in New Jersey. Hail fell steadily for 15 minutes and did great damage. Trees were entirely stripped of their foliage and young fruit. It is thought the peach crop is ruined.
 Mrs William Hoffman was killed by lightning at New Village.

 New York, July 16.-A sneak, thief has marched into the offices of the Southern railway, at 349 Broadway, this city, and, although there were half hundred people there at the time, he calmly marched out again, taking with him the cashiers money box.
 The box contained the days receipts. Usually it holds $25,000 to $50,000 in negotiable paper and cash. On this oc- casion however, it held only about S5,- 900 in checks and notes, and the cash fer thinks, less than $100 in cash.
 As rule the box is kept i'll the safe of the office. but the cashier had taken it out and placed it on his desk, intend ing to return it to the safe in mo- ment. He left his compartment for a short time and when he got back the box was gone, and no trace of the thief could be found.

A Soaking Rain Discouraged the
 Crowd Early To-Day.
 Glenview Golf Course, III, July 16 Steady, soaking rain prevailed over the links when match play for the ama- teur championship was called this morning with prospects that it would continue all day Brilliant galleries, which were a feature of yesterdays play, were noticeably absent this morning, and with but one or two ex- captions the players trudged around the rain-soaked course accompanied by no one but their caddies and the of- fcial scorers. Small crowds were at tracted by Champion Travis, MT Or mistoN of Pittsburg, who tied Travis medal score in yesterdays qualifying round, and one or two of the younger western golfers, and in spite of the downpour trudged over the course with their favorites.
 Thirteen players who fled 94 for the last two places in the qualifying Est, played off the tie beforematcn play be- gan this morning. Louis James, q Glenview youngster, who had made d medal score of 79 over the course, and Q. c. Fuller of Milwaukee, were the fortunate winners. William Walter, former western champion, Walter E.. Smith, Warren Dickinson of Iowa and II. D. Hooper of Nassau were among the thirteen
 The rain ceased entirely before 10 o'clock and a strong southwest wind quickly dried the course. This did not improve conditions, however, the wind being so strong as to seriously in- terfere with play.
