4 Mass of Technical Evidence in
Erwin.
Washington, Jan. 24.-District Attor-
ney Marion Erwin, who has rendered
such valuable services to the govern
ment in the Carter case, is here to con-
fer with the Attorney General in con-
nection with the Green and Gaynor
case. Mr.. Erwin has been working on
the case for over two years, and con-
siders that they have the governments
side well in hand.
In discussing the case this morning
Mr.. Erwin said that it involved mass
of facts in technical engineering and
in accounting. and that it would likely
take two months to try it.
II am merely passing through Wash
ington on my way to Georgia" said
Mr.. Erwin, "for the purpose of getting
ready for the trial of the case of the
United States VS.. Benjamin d. Greene,
John Gaynor and others, charged on in
dictment with conspiracy with Oberlin

frauds in the Savannah district.
"If things move in due course the de-
PENDANTS will be put to plead on Feb.
IL in the United States District Court
in Savannah, and the jury trial will
be entered upon as soon thereafter as
practicable. The amount which the
government contends was embezzled
hv Carter and his associates is over
81, 100000"
Mr.. Erwin is also in charge of the
civil suits pending in six different
states instituted by the government for
the recovery of the funds charged to

The explosion occurred at the noon
hour and was what is known as a
dust" explosion. The miners had just
fired their usual noon shots, one of
which proved to be fizzle. The burn
ing powder ignited the gas and the
explosion followed. Smoke and debris
were blown out of the shaft 200 feet
high.
Part of the top-works was torn away
and the fans and cages were partially
wrecked. This made the work of res
cue very slow, and it was O'Clock be-
fore volunteer parties dared to venture
into the east entrance, where the ex-
plosion occurred. When they fought
their way in, horrible sight greeted
them. The dead and injured
were terribly burned and mutilated,
some of them almost beyond re-
cognition Fire which at first was
feared would prove destructive to the
entire mine had broken out, and this
added terror to the spectacle. The
flames were finally controlled, and after
several of the rescue party had sue
cumbed to the fumes all the dead were
found and carried to the top of the
shaft. At the time of the explosion
more than 100 men were in the mines,
but all of these, except those in the
east entry, escaped with only slight in
jury. The total property damage will
be aboIr $4,000.
1t was nearly dark tonight when the
last Of the dead We're taken out, and
the scenes of anguish among the fam
lies OF the men were most pitiful.
Nearly all of the men were married and
leave families in poor circumstances.
The mine is owned by the Lost Greek
Fuel Company of this city and has been
in opera ton about one year.

Beers GAINING GROUND.
Roseato Dispatch by Way of The
Hague Says Cape CO1Onists Are
Joining Beers in Large Numbers.

London, Jan. 25.-The Daily News
has published from it's correspondent
at The Hague, whom it claims to have
been very accurate. the following dis
patch taken from private advices:
News from South Africa has reached
military circles here that the power
of the Beers over Cape Colony is in
creasing daily; that the rebellion is
constantly spreading, and that the
colonists are joining the Beers in
steadily increasing numbers. The eX-
ecution of Commandant Lotter and
Commandant Scheepers have had the
result of deciding the loyalists to join
the Beers, whose position is persistent
'ly reported to be more favorable than
ever"
The same private advices assert that
the British suffered a dozen defeats
from September to November 1901, of
which no mention is made in Lord
Kitchener'S reports.
The Daily News, commenting upon
this dispatch. confesses that its state
ments are probably exaggerated, but
is Of opinion that the denial of Mr..
Balfour, the government leader in the
House of Commons. that there had
been any Boer overtures for peace,
points to the fact that the Beers be-
leve their position to be less desperate
than is generally supposed.

CUBA'S MANY OPPONENTS.
Hawaiian sugar Planters Want mo-
COmpe titiOn.

Washington, Jan. 24.-The Cuban re-
ciprocity hearings We're resumed to-
day before the Ways and Means Com
mittee.
The attitude of the Hawaiian sugar
planters opposing concessions to Cuba
were presented by William Haywood,
formerly United States consul general
to Hawaii. and now representing the
Hawaiian planters and the Chamber
OF Commerce of Hawaii.
What was most feared. he said. was
that free trade with Cuba or some
thing approaching that would be
brought about and that meant ruin to
Hawaii. But a small concession. say
ten per cent, would not be opposed
by Hawaii.
James II. Post. OF the National SSu-
gar Refining Company. of New York.
explained that there were about
dozen independent sugar refineries in
the country producing about 10000 bar
rels per day as against about 10000 re-
fined by the American Sugar Refining
Company and that the interests of
the independent refineries should be
considered in any action taken by the
committee. Mr.. Post said that his COM
pany bought raw sugar all over the
world, CUBA included. Asked as TO
what effect a 25 per cent reduction on
Cuban sugar would have on the price
of sugar to the consumer here, Mr..
Post said that in his opinion there
would be no effect as far as the pres
ent crop was concerned; that the Gu
bans would gain all the advantages,
later, perhaps, as the production in
creased the price might fan. lie ex-
planned the action of the rehneries in
under-selling the beet sugar people in
the Missouri valley by saying thae the
beet sugar people made contracts with
grocers to deliver sugar at oue-tenth
a cent per pound below the refineries
price. The result was a trade war, and
the retineries reduced their i,rices in
some cases 2 cents a pound to under
sell the beet sugar manufacturers. He
said that so far as he knew none of
the independent refineries owned an
acre of sugar land in Cuba.
William S. Bass, a Santo Domingo
sugar planter, did not think Cuba
should be given an advantage over
other West Indian Islands in the Amer
lean market.

RESCUED BY THE HUDSON.
sailors of the Mary l.. Crosby Taken
to baltimore by the savannah

1AneF
Baltimore. Md, Jan. 24.-Seven ship
wrecked seamen were brought to this
port to-day on the Merchants and
Miners Transportation Company's
steamer Hudson from Savannah. They
are Capt. A. Trinm, master of the
three-masted schooner Mary J.. Cros-
by, which sailed from Pensacola, Fla,
on the 18th inst for New York; Mate
H. $. Cole; Steward j. II. Mcfarland,
and Lohls j. Byrne, Peter Abrou,
Alexandra Osario. and Guisippi Garri-
slno, seamen.
The men were picked up by the Hud-
son near the Frying Pan Shoal light
ship off the North Carolina coast on
Wednesday. Capt Trimm said to-day
that his vesesl was leaking when she
left the Florida port, and while pro-
ceeding through the Florida straits
had encountered rough weather. The
pumps were manned constantly.
When off Frying Pan shoals fog OBJ
scured the light and the vessel was
dashed upon a shoal, a portion of her
cargo of lumber was jettisoned, and
later, while held securely on the shoal
the remainder of the deck-load. to-
gether with the mainmast of the YES
sci were carried away by the heavy
seas. The crew entered the life-boat
which was made fast to the ship. After
several hours of hardship the Hudson
hove in sight and succeeded in rescuing
the men.
The Crosby is of 1894 tons, built in
Millbridge, Me-, in 1899. II is said that
the vessel was leaking when she sail
ed from New York. bound for Porto
Rico, before going to Pensacola.

TO GET DANISH ISLES
TREATY SIGNED AT WASHINGTON
YESTERDAY.
PRICE SAID TO BE s5,ooO,ooo.
iSHABITANTs TO RETAIN DANISH
CITIZENSHIP.

Treaty Must he Ratified by senate
and Also Submitted to the Inhabi-
tRnts of the Islands for n PIebis-
citc-DenmnrL VIII Turn over the
Islands without Renovation, But
the Inhabitants viii Remain
Danes Unless They Choose to Be-
come Americans.
Washington, Jan 24.--The treaty OF
cession of the Danish West India ISL
ands from Denmark to the United
States was signed at the State Depart
mentf to-day by Secretary Hay and
Constantine Brun, the Danish minis
ter. The treaty win be submitted to
the Senate for ratification Immediate
ly.
Following the invariable rule In such
cases, the State Department officials
decline to make public any of the de-
tails of the treaty. so that it is not
possible to state positively the price
to be paid, though this is believed to
be in the neighborhood of $4,000 900.
1t also is known that Denmark has
abandoned the position she was in
clined to occupy toward the conserva-
ton of the political rights of the in
the United States free hand to deal
with them, without pledge of Ameri-
can citizenship or of free trade privi-
leges. So IT. is assumed that the status
of the Danish West Indian Islands,
politically and commercially, should
the treaty be ratified, will be similar
to that of Porto Rico.
The treaty itself does not contain
any reference to plebiscite, but the
Danish government has given notice
that before 1t ratifies the treaty it
will submit the question of cession to
|. the people of the islands. Not much
objection is expected here from these
people, for the treaty is so framed that
they are not called upon to surrender
their Danish allegiances and they may
remain Danes in fact and in name
while enjoying whatever advantages in
commercial way may result from
transfer of the islands to the United
States

DINGLEY TARIFF TO STAND.
Speaker Henderson Puts Himself on
Record Against Tariff Revision.


Waterloo. Iowa, Jan. 24.-In letter
received here Speaker Henderson puts
himself on record as against any re-
vision of the tariff by the present
Congress. The letter is a response to
a petition signed by seventy Republi-
can business men of Waterloo and
Cedar Falls.
Speaker Henderson admits that some
changes might wisely be made in the
present tariff, but sees so much danger
In opening up the subject for revision
that he would leave it as It is.
He says
my judgment is that II is more i'm
portant at this time in the interest
of this country to reduce taxation upon
ourselves and stop to a proper degree
the influx of the peoples money into
the public treasury. With the country
in an unparalleled prosperous condi-
ton cannot believe 1t wise TO begin
a reduction which inevitably will open
up the whole field OF revision and thus
put q serious check upon the business
OF the country.
1.-THE moment the country under
stands there is TO be revision OF the
tariff jobbers will suspend large pur-
chases, hoping TO buy at lower prices.
This will compel the manufacturer TO

st. Louis, Mo-, Jan. 24.-Two dis
tinct shocks of earthquake were felt
in st. Louis, and in many of the ad-
joining towns a few minutes before 5
o'clock this morning. The first shock
was light. The second was more Sc

Willemstad, Island of Curacao. Jan.
Pain spite OF the protests made by
the French consul President Castro has
sustained the action of the Venezuelan
authorities at La Guayra, who refused
to permit M. Seicrestat, Jr, of Bor-
deaux, to land, although the govern
ment had previously assured the con-
sui that the traveller might debark
1t Is held by the authorities that while
the French line steamer ST. Laurent,
on which M. Seicrestat was a passen-
ger. was at Fort de France, Island or
Martinique. or at the Island Of Trin-
dad. he conferred with Gen Matos. the
revolutionary leader The consul made
inquiries on the subject which estab-
iished the fact that Gen. Matos was
not at Martinique or at Trinidad when
the st. Laurent touched at those ISL
ands.
1t Is claimed that this incident makes
1t necessary for the French govern
ment to take steps necessary TO cause
French citizens to be respected, and il
is believed that the French cruisers

New York, Jan. 24.-The coroner's
investigation into. the causes of the re-
cent disaster in the New York Central
Railroad tunnel was brought to
close tonight, when the jury, after
being out three hours and five min
utes, returned verdict completely ex-
onerating John M. Wisker and e. G.
Filler the crew of the engine that
crashed into the rear end of the train
causing the death of seventeen people.
The verdict places the blame for the
conditions leading to the accident on
The officials of the railroad. Both
Wisker and Filler were Immediately
discharged from custody.
After reciting the details of the ac-
cdent' the verdict continues:
we find that Engineer John NJ.

Phere, due to weather. conditions, to-
gether with the presence of large bodies
oil steam and smoke escaping from
trains passing the various tracks in
sad tunnel obscuring said signal was
unable to locate said danger signal.
we further find faulty management
on the part of the officials of the New
ork Central and Hudson River Rail-
road, and we hold said officials respon-
sible for the reason that during the
past ten years said officials have been
repeatedly warned by their locomotive
engineers and other employees of the
dangerous conditions existing in said
tunnel, imperilling the lives of thous-
ahds Of passengers, and they have
ialled to remedy said conditions; and
also for the reason that certain i'm
proVements in the way of both visible
ana audible signals could have been in
stalled and the disaster thereby have
peen avoided; and for the further rea-
son mat no regulation of speed which
Trans should run in said tunnel has
