MITCHELL CALLS CONVENTION.
Question of Gene raj Strike Will Be
Settled at the Meefirsr

Question of Gene raj Strike Will Be
Settled at the Meeting
Under direction of President John
Mitchell of the United Mine Workers of
America the long-expected call for
special national convention of mine work
ers was issued Wednesday by Secretary
Treasurer Wilson. The convention will
be held in Indianapolis July IL, and will
determine whether the soft-coal miners
of the country shall go out on strike TO
assist the striking anthracite miners of
Pennsylvania.
Much depends on the miners of Illinois,
Indiana and Ohio, who will cut a promi-
nent figure in the convention. The basis
of the apportionment of delegates to the
convention is one for every 100 members
of the local union or fraction over nifty.
This will make convention of 1000
delegates.
The voting strength of all locals is be-
tween 1900 and 2.400. OF this the con-
vention will have voting strength OF
from LOO to 1880. A bare majority
can order a strike. The anthracite re-
gions cast TAT votes, Virginia and Michi-
gan, which joined in the call for the con-
vention, have ffty-two, making 100 votes
from those FIVE districts which united to
call the convention.
AS stated at the headquarters condi-
tons are not satisfactory to miners in
Missouri, Kansas, Arkansas and Indian
Territory, and it is believed the delegates
from those sections will vote for strike.
The miners of Ohio are understood to
he opposed to a strike, while those of
Illinois, Indiana and Iowa are in doubt.
The formal cali for the convention de-
tails at length what unions are empow-
cred to send delegates, the number Of
delegates to be sent, the method to be
pursued in choosing them, etc.
The anthracite delegates viii go into
the convention with 10000 striking hard
coal miners at their back for a general
strike. The West Virginia delegates will
have approximately $4,000 behind them
for a strike, and in Michigan, where the
union has been having trouble, the dele
gates will also be instructed for L ma
tional suspension.
Central Pennsylvania will contribute a
certain number of delegates. who will
want a general strike, as will also Ken
lucky. 1t remains for western Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana to off
set this, as it is unofiicially understood
the miners in those sections are not en-
thusiastic for general stoppage of coal
production.

A newly married couple were on their
way from Antwerp to Paris when one
of their fellow passengers cut his throat
with a razor in the railroad carriage IN
which they were travelling. Another

HOW THEY plE.
When People Become the victims Of a
Volcanic Erupt ON

When People Become the Victims of a
Volcanic Erupt ON.
An interesting question that arises
in the medical mind, on reading the
stories of the ST. Pierre disaster is as
to the exact cause of death. The news
paper accounts suggest direct burning
or overwhelming with the volcanic
dust This material is commonly call
ed ashes but it is not correctly de-
scribed by that word; it is usually
rocky matter finely divided By ex-
ploslve action.
A considerable proportion Of the
deaths might be due 70 suffocation by
noxious gases. Among such would be
carbon dioxide, commonly called car
bonic acid and sulphurous acid. The
former is not actively poisonous, and
would not be the cause of death i'm
less present in considerable proportion,
but the latter gas is highly irrespira-
BILE, and even small proportion viii
render air SO irritating that suff0ca-
ton must ensue. We have but meager
reports from those who have beer near
appreciate the actual conditions One
of the moss famous eruptlons in his
tory, that of Mount Vesuvius in "A. u.
TO- has been described by the younger
Pliny from notes left by his uncle,
who lost his life in an effort to rescue
friend. The narrator states that the
death of the elder Pliny was due to
fumes of sulphur Even making al
lowance for the imperfect idensiiica-
ton of chemical substances at that
early period, we may safely assume
that by such an expression sulphureus
acid was indicated, since this gas was
undoubtedly familiar; indeed. 1T is
mentioned in the Odyssey as disin-
fectant The Roman writer further
adds that the body was untouched by
fire.
In some of the reports from Magti-
nique specific mention is made Of she
same suffocating influences. The
steamship Roddam escaped through a
shower of hot fragments and lost some
of her crew by the inhalation Of sui
phpric gases.
1t may be well to note that when
disasters by fire occur in closed spaces
suffocation by carbon monoxide and
smoke is likely to occur. In this way
persons in the gallery of a theater may

or by falling timbers. 1t is probable
that instances of this kind have given
rise to the notion of death by ''swal-

RIOTS RULE PATERSON.
Wild Mobs Led by Anarchists Wreck
Mills and Attack Police.


Ten persons are in the Paterson, n. j.,
city hospitals suffering from gunshot and
revolver wounds received in strike riots
led by anarchists which kept that city
in a state of terror all day Wednesday.
The troubles grew out of stormy meet
ing oe the dyers' helpers which was cap
tured by anarchists, and mob was soon
organized which wrecked nearly eSery
mill in Paterson. The police were met
with yolleys of stones at first, and later
with bullets, and they were powerless to
quell the disorder. The leaders of the
riots included several members of the
Group of Existence, old comrades Of
Bresci, the assassin.
Chief of Police Graul utterly failed to
meet the situation. Mayor Hinchcliffe,
after urging him TO put on his uniform
and go out with his men, denounced the
chief and charged him with having lost
his nerve The Mayor himself then
took charge of measures to quell the dis
turbance. The Mayor went to police
headquarters and had all the men of the
reserves lined up in front of him. Then
he said to them: Men, if your clubs
prove useless, you know what to do. Be
aggressive from She start
The trouble began with a meeting adj
dressed by William MeCueer, az Eng
disappearing anarchist, editor of red
sheet called Liberty, and his companion.
Galleano, an Italian anarchist Most Of
the rioters were Italian dyehouse helpers.

PANAMA ROUTE WINS.
NICARAGUA CANAL BILL BEATEN
in SENATE.
Spooner Amendment Adopted by a
Vote of AZ to 34-House Has Pre-
yiously LeGisIated in Favor of Near
aqua, Thus Mixing Matters.

The SpSaner substitute, directing Pres
ident Roosevelt TO secure. the Panama
route. was adopted by the Senate Thurs
day afternoon. The vote was Al yeas to
"a nays.
Debate on the isthiuian canal bin closed
at O'Clock and voting was begun at
once on The Nicaraguan measure report
ed by the committee and the Spooner
Panama substitute The first roll call
came on Bacon's amendment, which was
adopted, % to 20. All the Panama adj
vocates voted for the amendment. indi-
eating that they are in a majority.
With defeat sttafins hirI in the face,
Senator Morgan made another speech
for his pet Niearaguan biS, He had not
intended to speak again, but Senator Al
lison, chairman Of the Reput lican caucus,
made a speech for Panaml which the
venerable Alabaman thought demanded
an answer Senator Allison supported
the Panama route because he said he did
not presume to ignore the testimony Of
eminent engineers who had deliberately
made that choice.
The insinuation that the Spooner sub
stitute means no canal is utterly without
foundation" said Senator Allison, reply
ing TO the oft-repeated charge that the
Panama advocates are opposed to the in
teroceanic waterway. The people of
the United States demand that this canal
be built by the government, and it will
be, if not by Panama, thea by the Mic
araguan route"
Senator Morgan made strong final
plea for the Nicaragua roIte. Regarding
the greater cost of the canal by that
route he said there was an eminent engi-
neer who would build it for $146000, 900,
and another had offered to build the
canal free for the United States if given
a lease of it for the first ten years after
its completion.
Matters Now Mixed.
The bill as passed is known by the
name of Senator Spooner, and it author
ICES the President to acquire the Pana-
ma rights and property if it shall be
found that a good title can be furnished.
If not the President is authorized to pro-
coed to acquire the Nicaragua route.
The passage by the Senate of the
Spooner bill really leaves the building of
an isthmian canal as far off as ever, ac-
cording TO a Washington correspondent.
The House of Representatives has passed
a bill for a canal at Nicaragua and un-
til the two branches of Congress har-
monte in the matter of route and all
other details there is no legislation.
A conference committee will be appoint
ed TO attempt to effeea an agreement
but it is not anticipated that this COM
mittee will be ready tc report before next
session of Congress. and then the fight
over the routes viii he renewed in the
House, to which the conference commit
tee must report for approval.
There is another obstacle which must
cause delay. If the Panama route is
chosen treaty must &c negotiated with
the Colombian government, and this
treaty must be ratified by two-thirds of
the United States Senate.

Outing Of Werner
]! Employees.
It Was Participated In
by.l,4OO People.
Two Special Trains Of Ten
Coaches Each. ~

Fourteen hundred people participated
in the outing of the Werner Co. en-
ployes Saturday, at Cedar Point. The
trip to and from the resort was made
in two special B. & o. trains Of ten
coaches each. The first train left
Akron at 7.15 and the second at 1880.
1t was about IL o'clock when the pic
nickers got home, and they reported
it the best outing they had everfheld.
Last year the outing was attended
by not more than 500 people. General
Ticket Agent C. ID. -Honodle, at the
Union depot. said that. the excursion
this year was among the largest that
ever left Akron for a destination so
distant as Cedar Point.
All the coaches of the train were
covered with banners, telling who the
picnickers were and making known
the fact that they, were going to have
good time Mr.. Paul p. Werner,
president of the company, had pri-
vate coach which was shared by few
of his intimate friends and officials
of the company.
No special program had been pre-
pared, the picnickers preferring to
find their own entertainment according
to taste among the amusements and
attra ctions at the park. They all ate
| dinner together, in one of the large
buildings, and after dinner there were
addresses by Mr.. Paul E, Werner and
Postmaster l.. S. Ebright and remarks
by Hon. VIM. Buchtel.
Mr.. Paul E. Werner was president
of the day, and the Arrangements
committee was composed of G. H.
