TEN DELEGATES ON CARPET
Grand Jury sun Grinding Away on
st. Louis Sensation, with Moth
ing New Developed.

ST. LOUIS, Sept. 15.-The examination
of the present members OF the house Of
delegates. in relation to the city lighting
bill and the defeat OF the street railway
bill, will be continued tomorrow before
the grand jury. Ten delegates were before
that body today and each was detained
but a short time.
It was expected that Circuit Attorney
Folk, who is prosecuting in the alleged
bribery cases, would go to Jefferson City
today to appear for the state in the hear
ing Of arguments for and against the is
suance Of writs Of habeas corpus for the
release OF the FIVE ex-delegates now in jail
here. but by reason Of the statutory pro-
vision allowing his time after service Of
court papers he was not compelled 10 go
and Assistant Circuit Attorney Maloney
represented him. The proceedings con-
sisted only of formally deferring the hear
ing until next Saturday. Until then at
least the habeas corpus petition by which
Judge Chester hoped to secure the release
from Jail Of the hve men charged with
bribery and perjury can have no effect.
Charles A. Gutke, one OF the fve former
members Of the house Of delegates, con-
fined in the city Jail on charges of bribery
and perjury. was informed today OF the
death Of his 11-year- son, who had been
sick for some time. The father broke down
and wept at the news, but declined to go
home and see the remains in the custody Of
a deputy sheriff when Judge Douglass later
gave him permission TO do so
Delegate Edmund Bersch, out on bonds
aggregating S45 900, volunteered to go to
Jail in place OF Gutke for a few days, in
order that the latter might be at home un-
til after the funeral Of his SON Judge Doug
las gave his consent to the substitution, the
bonds OF Bersch being transferred for the
time being to Gutke.
Judge Douglas later decided to accept Ed
Butler and Henry z. Yermann on Gutke's
bond. and therefore Bersch will not be called
Upon to make the sacrifice.

PEARY is ON HIS WAY HOME
Secretary of Arctic Club Receives Dis
patch from Explorer, Dated
at Labrador.

NEW YORK, Sept. s5.-Herbert L.
Bridgeman. secretary of ae Peary Arctic
CLUB, received a dspatchs nay from Lieu
tenant r. z. Peary the Arctic explorer,
dated Chateau Bay Labrador. Lieutenant
Peary says he Is on his way home on relief
ship Windward and that all on board are
we'll.
Beyond the dispatch Of today Mr.. Bridge
man has no information as to the move
ments of the explorer, who sailed with
his expedition to the north pole July 4,
1898. Mr. Bridgeman left Lieutenant Peary
at Cape Sabin, August 29. 1901. The relief
ship Windward left New York in June last
to find the Peary expedition and has evil
IDENTIFY been successful.
Mr. Bridgman left New York on the mid
night train for Boston, whence he will go
to Sydney to meet the explorer on his ar
rival there. Dr.. Dederich's message also
said that the doctor had left his quarters
with the Eskimos at Etah and had gone
to Peary's winter headquarters to offer his
services if needed.
In his message to his wife DR.. Dederich
touches on one point that is Of the great
est interest as throwing light on his rela-
tions with Lieutenant Peary. 1t will be
recalled that when Erick, the Peary relief
ship of last year, returned last autumn,
leaving the explorer to make a dash for
the pole this summer. it was said that DR..
Dederich, who had for three years been
Peary's surgeon. had been left alone at
Etah and would have to depend upon his
own unaided resources to exist during the
long, dark winter.
1t was at first intimated that DR.. Deder-
ich had been marooned as a result Of q
disagreement with Peary, but this was EN-
phatically denied later by the officers OF
the Peary Arctic club. DR.. Dederich's wife
was entirely satisfied in her own mind that
her husbands reason for remaining was be-
cause OF his fine sense OF honor and his
devotion to Peary despite the difference
that had arisen between them.

TEMPORARY STEPS GIVE WAY
Five Hundred People Are PrecipitAted
in a Heap to the
Ground.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Sept 15.-while 1000
people we're struggling to get into the
new Sons Of Zion synagogue to witness the
dedicatory exercises, the temporary steps
leading to the entrance suddenly gave woy
and 500 people fell in a heap. Men and
women screamed and fought to get out Of
the mass and It was only by prompt EFFORT
that a panic was averted.
The police platoon, which led the process
sion to the church, broke rank and rushed
into the crowd, preventing frantic men,
women and children from crushing one an
other in the scramble to get out When
quiet had been restored It was found eN-
cept for a few who we're bruised and cut,
no one had been fatally injured.
Mrs. Isaac Goldstimme was badly bruised
about the body and face.
Della Rosenblaum, a 10year-old girl,
was caught in the crash and bruised badly.
Sam Roisner, a e-year-old boy. had his
foot crushed between the breaking tim
bers. Several others received cuts and
bruises and other minor injuries.

ENGLAND MAY HAVE BIG TRUST
Daily Mail Amrms that After Much
secret Negotiating Rail Makers
Are Together.

LONDON, Sept 16-The Daily Mail TINS
morning declares that after many months
Of secret negotiations there has oeen
formed an association of the leading
British steel rail manufacturers for the
purpose of controlling prices and regulating
the output The firms alleged to have en-
tered the association include the Barrow
Hematite Steel company, limitedi Bolklow,
Boughan & Co., limited; Guest, Keen a
Co. of Dowlais and Cardin, Crawshay
Bros. of Merthyr Tydvil. the Moss-Bay
Hematite Iron and Steel company. limited;
Charles Emmett & Co., limited; the North
eastern Steel company limited, and the
Rhymney Iron company, with an aggre-
gate of capital roughly estimated at Geo.
100000. not counting large debenture issues.
In view of repeated rumors and reiterated
denials the announcement of the Daily
Mail Ia spite OF its apparent circnmstan-
tiality of detail must be guardedly ac-
cepted. AS an instance of the need of such
an association the paper quotes a repre-
sentative of a prominent engineering firm
of New York as saying that since February
he has placed orders in Europe for 500 600
tons of steel rails for America, of which
$1,000 tons were placed In England, 100000
in Germany and 10000 in Belgium. The
greater part of these orders would have
been placed In England but for the fact
that the mills here could not accept them.
The Daily Mail says the Representatives I'm
question added that in 1902 the purchases Of
steel rails in Europe for America would
amount to 100000 tons, the major part of
which would go to Germany unless Eng

ton of the taxes for 1901 amounting to

LONDON. Sept 15.-The financial situa-
tion in New York creates general public in
terest here and practically monopolizes at
tention in financial circles.
The Standard says: "a small parcel OF
gold has been secured in Paris for shipment
to New York. but not. however as an ex-
change operation. The bulk Of the large
amount Of gold on the open market in Lon
don has been bought up at us 9hd per
ounce in anticipation of further decline in
New York exchange and New York's ne
cessity Of importing gold. The money mar
ket regarded the proposals brought forward
by Secretary Shaw regarding the money
pressure in New York as inadequate conse-
qnently there was no slackening of the dis
count rates"
this morning give details Of the money sit
uation in New York. The Daily Chronicle
commences its financial article by saying
80 far nothing has been done in the way
Of buying gold for export to the United
States. Some inquiries From that quarter
we're made yesterday. but nothing resulted,
although one or two parcels Of bullion we're
bought on speculation. We are not greatly
appalled, at the prospect Of large gold ex-
ports, because New York spectators have
first OF all to find money wherewith to pay
for them. Our market is sharply divided in
opinion as to whether gold in large amounts
will be Immediately required. The argu-
ments pro and con are anything but con-
vincing, in view Of the fact that the amounts
OF money already borrowed by Wall street
operators in the London, Paris and Berlin
sane CANDLES are so large that many per-
sons believe that the surplus for the pres
ent season shipments of the products of the
United States will not suffice to liquidate
this Indebtedness. Further moneys will con-
sequently have to be borrowed in order to
pay for the imported bullion. That doubt
less can be done and possibly the surplus
from excess Of exports over imports would
sufice to liquidate such q fresh debt and a
portion OF the old debt. The operation, how
ever, would be surrounded with difficulties
and we dono think shipments Of gold to
New York can assume large proportions un-
der any circumstances. Our market, how
ever. is undeniably a trife nervous"

EXPLOSION IN A COAL NINE
Gas and Powder Combine to Wsrk Havoc
Near Nsrth Fork, West Virginia.
SEVENTEEN MEN IMPRISONED IN WORKINGS
Fire Follows After and There IL No
Hope of Saving the Lives of Any
of the Unfortunate
Men.

NORTH FORK. W. Va. Sept. ia gas
and powder explosion occurred here today
in the Big Four mine Of the Algoma Coal
and Coke company, as the result Of which
mes Lester, an engineer John Reckie,
ngarian miner and fifteen colored
rs are known to be imprisoned in the
L. e.
There is hardly one chance Of the men
being recovered alive, as they are beyond
the point where the explosion occurred.
The gas and smoke is so thick that all
rescuing parties have been driven back.
H Franken, a mining boss, and George
Pieri, a Hungarian miner, succeeded in
crawling over the fallen coal and slate
after the explosion to the lights Of the
rescue party, and we're taken out alive,
though badly burned and suffocated.
The explosion is said to have been caused
by an accumulation OF gas catching on fire
from the lamp Of e miner and this in turn
fred six kegs OF blasting powder, stored
back in the mine.
The explosion knocked down all the
brattices for a quarter Of a mile back
toward the mine entrance, thus cutting
off all Of the air from the men imprisoned
behind the debris. There had been a small
gas explosion in this mine on Saturday
last and Mine superintendent a. j. stuart
had personally cautioned the men who
worked in the mine not to attempt to work
again until the air had been tested by a
safety lamp.
The rescuing party, headed by Mine In
spector Cooper. attempted to rescue, but
we're driven back by the want of air.
1t is now learned that the coal is burn
ing and that there is no hope Of extinguish-
in he a
can be built to the point of the explosion.
