sentiment against strike of the BIZ
luminous miners. They claim they
have one desire above all others, which

tors AN agreement. and that a strike
of the soft coal miners would not aud
them in securing this.
What sort of a place would we be
in - said an anthracite delegate this
afternoon, IF we get the soft coal men
To violate contract they have already
made? What would the operators say
to us after that? They would simply
tell us that, inasmuch as we induced
others to break their contracts. we were
men who would not be likely to keep
contracts of our own.
ut is true that there are many dele
gates among the anthracite miners who
ares anxious for a general strike. but
the anthracite men are not a unit on
that point by any means. The delegates
from the anthracite regions will not be
so keen for a strike as people seem to
think they will"

FOUGHT TO SAVE GIRL.
Congressman Wachter Severely Bitter
While Protecting Daughter from a

Baltimore, Md, July 16.-Congress
Maryland district, was badly bitten
about the hands and arms late las!
night while trying to save his daughter
Hattie, aged 13 years. from the savage
attack of a big ST. Bernard dog at thei,
home in this city. The wounds of both
himself and daughter We're counteriZed
and the body of the dog is undergoing
microscopical examinations by DIR. N
G. keirle. chief of the PaSteur Institute
Should any traces of rabies be dis
covered Mr.. Wachter and his daughter
will both undergo treatment at the hos
spital. The dog was a magnificent speci-
men of the St Bernard species and had
been owned since it was Il pup by Mr.
Wachter. The animal was fond of the
little girl. and it is believed that jeal-
cusy caused it to attack her when She
fondled another dog in its presence last
night.
Suddenly the st. Bernard leaped upon
Ter and fastened his teeth in her arm.
Then, throwing her to the ground, the
animal stood over her Snarling. Her
screams brought her father. He seized
the animal by the collar and tried to
arag him away from her. The dog
turned upon Mr.. Wachter, and Il des-
Ierate struggle followed.
Mr. Wachter is a strong man. but
only with the greatest difficulty did he
succeed in pulling the dog away from
his daughters PROSTATE form. The girl
then ran into the house, while Mr..
Wachter was compelled to defend HIM
self from the attacks of the infuriated
animal. For a minute or two the dog
held him down, tearing at his hands
and arms. Then he forced the beast
from him and rushed into the house,
shutting out the animal.
A policeman, at the request of Mr..
Wachter shot the dog. Mrs. Wachter
saw from a window her husbands
struggle and the sight so unnerved her
that when Mr.. Wachter entered the
house he found that not only he and his
daughter required the attention of Il
physician. but his wife as we'll.
BothasMr. Wachter's hands and arms
were in bandages today. His daugh
ter's wounds are not serious. Mr..
Machter has no fear of rabies.

London, Julyy 16.-Sig. Marconi
joined the Italian flagship Carlo AL
berto on July ] when it Went to Cron-
stadt. whittier ii had been ordered in
connection with King Victor l.mai,uel's

Park City, Utah, July 16.-Two pow
der magazines at the 120-foot level of
the DAILY West mine exploded at 9
o'clock this morning. causing loss of
life which can not be estimated, nor
even guessed at.
At an early hour today twenty-seven
men had been taken out of the mine
dead and several others were recovered
in half-dazed condition. These We're
all brought thru the Ontario mine
shaft, which is a mile distant from the
DAILY West. The Ontario and DAILY West
are connected by tunnel. In the Daily
West mine about $50 men are at work
and in the Ontario 100. 1t is not known
how many of these are dead, but the
disaster extends to the Ontario, as the
noxious gases that had been freed are
known to have caused several deaths in
the Ontario. The presence of these gas
es lead to the belief that the powder
was burned and that the explosion was
not the chief cause of the disaster.
There are two magazines at the 1900
foot leved of the DAILY West, one on
each side of the shaft, with a capacity
of two to five cars each. A car of pow
der was added to the supply within the
last few days. Three dead have been
taken out of the Ontario mine shaft.
They are George Garyin and man
named Sweibel, ore haulers, and a
miner named Soderup the latter en-
ployed in the Ontario, working a mile
from the scene of the explosion. The
explosion was so tremendous that 1t
awakened every one within radius of
miles. AS an example of it's awful
force, it is said that two men in the
tunnel half mile away were killed.
Women and children thronged to the
Ontario shaft house, which is midway
between Park City and DAILY West.
Nearly all of them have husbands or
fathers in the mines and their grief is
pitiable. All the doctors in the city are
at the mines. They are doing what
they can to resuscitate the unconscious
men as taken out, but it is difficult to
obtain information down town, as the
telephone to the mine has failed.
At 10 O'Clock thirty-three bodies had
been recovered. Officials of the Daily
West state only three more bodies are
in the mine, but the miners say twelve
or fifteen are still unaccounted for. The
fumes from the explosion were over
powering and caused most of the
deaths.

OIL WE'LL STILL BURNING.
The Situation at Jennings. La, Con-
sidered Critical

New Orleans. July 16.-News from
kJennings, La, says that the fire at the
Jennings we'll. owned by Haywood
Bros, is still raging, but that the gate
valve has not yet given way. Those
fighting the fire are now surrounding
the we'll with boilers and the plan is to
snuff the fire out with steam. Two
tanks containing 24,000 barrels have
been burned and it is estimated 10000
barrels from the gushers have been
destroyed. 1t is not thought, however,
there is any danger to surrounding
property.
Jennings. La, July 16.-Burnins oil
flowing unchecked thru the Jennings
oil field threatens the safety of all the
property in this district. The blaze was
started by lightning striking one of the
immense tanks yesterday and setting it
on fire.
The flames spread to derricks of the
company adjoining, and in short time
they as we'll as tanks We're destroyed.
by the time the derricks had fallen
the flames had eaten away portion of
one of the field tanks. allowing the oil
to escape, and the fl! i'd rushed in burn
ing streams in the direction of the
Coulee.
All workmen on the field Immediately
stopped operations and set about
throwing up leeves to prevent as far as
possible the spreading of the fire. In
a short time. however, another tank
had broken loose, and the wind had
driven the flames into the derriclls of
the Southern Northern and Crescent
Oil companies. but they, in some man
ner escaped destruction.
The fire is still raging. and safety of
the field depends on the strength of
Jennings No. 2. The oil is leaking
around this tank, and, together with
the gas, is burning fercely, sending a
blaze many feet into the air.
telephone message from the field at
10 o'clock says it is impossible to stop
the flames and that the gate valve"
will hold but a short time longer. If
this gives way before precautions are
taken the entire field will be destroyed
Workmen are now engaged in remov-
ing the derricks of the remaining COM
panes and burying the mouths of the
wells under heavy coating of mud and
water.

been asked for and they will be taken

ouEsADA REPORTS ON BRAGG.
Cuban Minister Calls Presidents At
tenton to the Letter.

tenton to the Letter.
Washington, July 16.-Senor Don
Gonzalo de Quesada, the Cuban minis
ter in Washington, has sent to Presi-
dent Palma in Havana an official re-
port of the letter supposed to have been
written by Consul General Bragg to his
wife at Fond du Lac. This report of
the minister to the president of the Gu
ban republic does not contain amy rec
concentrations. it is believed. looking
toward the declaration on the part of
the Cubans that Gen. Braggs state
ment is distasteful.
On the contrary, it is generally un-
derstood to be the opinion of Minister
Quesada, who has long resided in this
country, and who. like President Pal
ma, is a firm friend and admirer of the
United States, that the Bragg incident
as it is now called, should not be per-
mitted to disturb the friendly relations
between the two countries. The eX-
pression however it may have been
worded was Undoubtedly contained on
lv in Il family letter, ard it is believed
the Cuban officials have taken the
ground that Gen. Bragg ought not to be
made to suffer Tor the lnQlScreeloH ol u
member of his family.
The facts in the case have been sub
mitted to President Palma merely as a
matter of information. 1t is believed
at the state department, however, on
what is probably pretty good author
ity that the Cuban government will
probably overlook the matter entirely
unless the masses and the incendiary
papers in Havana should take up the
matter and make an issue of it, in which
case it is likely that Gen. Bragg's use
fulness would be destroyed and his re-
tirement become necessary.

RUSSIA PLANS A NEW ROAD.
to Furnish e5 Per Cent

Government to Furnish 65 Per Cent Of
the Necessary Capital.
ST. Petersburg, July 16.-Newspapers
here report that an English member of
parliament and the Moscow capitalist,
Mamontoff have secured concession
to build railroad from Tashkent to
Tomsk. This line, which will be 1000
versts tabout 1900 miles) in length,
has long been projected as a connecting
link between the central Asian and the
Siberian railways. 1t would divert
West Siberian grain from European
Russia to the cotton-growing district in
Turkestan. The reports state that the
government will guarantee the capital
necessary to the extent of 65 per cent.
The matter does not, however, appear
to have advanced beyond the stage of
confidential negotiations.

SMITH REPRIMANDED
Findings in the Case of Gen. Jacob
Smith Made Public Today-court
Z Martial Finds Him Guilty and Sen
tences Him to Be Admonished by the
Reviewing Authority-smith Retired
BY Roosevelt.

Washington. July 16.-Secretary
Root brought from oyster Bay the case
of General Jacob Smith, tried by court
martial at Manila on account of or
ders issued by Major Waller. General
Smith was found guilty of the charges
by the court and sentenced to be adj
monished by the reviewing authority.
The president has so admonished Cen
eral Smith and retired him under the
authority that officers past the age of
SO may be retired by the president at
VIZ.
Secretary Root supplements the re-
primand of President Roosevelt in a
long circular in which he explains the
conditions which resulted in the court
martial of General Smith and shows
that tho Smith issued the Kill and
burn" order, as a matter of fact, very
few persons were killed as result of
that order, the casualties being con-
fined almost wholly to eleven natives
killed under Major Walters direction.
The findings of the court and the re-
views by the president and Secretary
Root will be made public later in the
day.

years old. and an inmate of the Cass
county poorhouse, hanged himself with
a hitching strap Monday. He has been
a familiar character in Atlantic for
many years. Previous to going to the
poor farm he used to do iantor work at
the hotels and do other light work. He
at that time slept in the Jail. He took
his life by hanging. He had taken a tie
strap and fastened round Il beam in the
barn and around his neck and then
swung off. There was no apparent
cause for the rash act. 1t is probable
that he was temporarily insane.
