OnIy a Few at Work.

HUNTINGTON, w. Va, June
11.-Probably 5 per cent out of
10000 miners in the Norfolk &
Western territory are at work
today. There has been no vio-
lence reported.
The strikers succeeded today
tying up almost every operation
in the New River district. Not
100 miners out Of 5000 were at
work on Loup creek and not a
single car of coal was sent down
that branch today.
The situation in the Great Flat
Top and Tug river coal fields to-
day was practically unchanged.
At some of the mines the strik.
ers lost a few from their ranks,
but at other points they made
gains.

WASHINGTON, June 9-The
Isthmian canal legislation will
occupy the entire time of the

BILE that a final vote may be

have a safe majority on its final
vote. In the house all of the
week will be devoted to the Cor

struction of a Pacific cable, and
the bill to allow the arid states to
use part OF the funds realized
from the saie of public lands for
irrigation purposes.

NEELY WILL COME HOME.
The Amnesty Bill Signed by Palma Gives
Him Freedom.

WASHINGTON, June H.
Charles F. W. Neely will proba-
bly, be back to his old home,
Muncie, Ind, within a few
weeks. Official notice has come
that President Palma, of Cuba,
has signed the amnesty bill un-
der which all Americans con-
victed Of crime in Cuba during
the term Of American occupation
and those awaiting trial are to be
freed.
Neely was the only one of a
trio of men connected with the
postal frauds still in jail when
the bill was signed.
W. H. Reeves, who was par
doned, is here looking for a Fed
eral job, and Rathbone, who
was released on 100000 bond,
furnished by Senator Hanna, was
still in Havana awaiting his Sec
ond trial when the pardon came.
He pretends to be disappointed
that the charge against him was
removed before he got ''vindica-
tion."
In an interview at Havana yes
terday, Neely said that he would
return to the states in a few
weeks. Later he intends to re-
turn to Cuba and devote his at
tention to his business interests
there.
From all accounts he has pros
pered financially while in jail.
He owns some large brick-mak-
ing establishments, and has
other business interests. Neely
is quoted as saying significantly:
''The whole story has not been
told. A good many persons
here believe American influence
prompted the passage Of the
amnesty bill. Neely has been in
jail twenty-five months.

WARSHIPS MOVE.
Germany Will Collect Big Debt by Force
if Necessary.

ST. THOMAS, D. W. l., June
1.-THE German cruisers. Fake
and Gazelle, which have been at
this port for some time, are now
Steaming at the limit of their
speed to LaGuayra, Venezuela.
Rush orders came yesterday for
the dispatch of the warships and
in few hours after the receipt
of the message the Fake was on
the way. The Gazelle followed
today.
The sudden departure of the
ships caused great excitement
when it became known among
the foreign officials stationed
here. 1t is believed the Kaiser
has become tired of President
Castro's course in settling Ger
man claims and has taken steps
to secure collection.
Germany has a big claim
against Venezuelacthat of the
Berlin Company Of Discount for
the nonperformance of engage
ments which the Venezuelan
government has undertaken IN
connection with the great Vene-
zuelan railway built by, the gov
ernment. The claim approx
mates 5000, 900 bolivares. One
inference, and it is merely that,
as there is no official information
on which to base the statement,
is that Germany has sent her
vessels to La Guayra to enforce
the payment of the claim, as
Venezuela has not attempted to
meet the obligation.

ing. Panic reigned among the
attendants and nurses, and the
inmates were insane from fright.
Screaming in their abject terror,
they begged to be released from
the rooms. and when the doors
on the third floor were opened
they rushed to the fire escapes
almost naked. Persons were at
many of the windows ready to
carry the inmates to the ground.
Many rescues were effected
from the third floor, where the
fire did not gain so rapid head
way as on the fourth and fifth
floors. The patients on the third
floor, too, were the convalescents
and were more easily handled
than those on the two upper
floors.
The southeast windows on the
fifth floor at the south end of the
worst ward were barred and
screened. From the alley back
of Wabash avenue inmates were
seen to rush to these windows,
tug at the unyielding bars, and
run back into the smoke and
flame. Cut off from these rooms
and farther to the west the win
dows were open, but out of reach
of the patients in the general
ward. 1t was from a window to
the west of this ward that two
men jumped, one of them to his
death.
Had the windows been open at
all parts of the building the work
of rescue could have been greatly
facilitated and the loss of life
probably would have been much
less. Every free avenue of es-
cape for the patients who most
needed an easy exit from the
building was cut of. The pa
tients suffering from delirium
tremens or partially insane from
the use of narcotics were shelved
away in the fifth story of the
fire-trap, where they could be
saved only by a miracle.

MARION, Ind, June 11.-Lou
Henderson, who shot City Com
missioner Hawville nine years
ago. and who violated his parole
by stealing after having served
a seven years prison sentence,
has shot two Indianapolis police
men who attempted to capture
him. He is now an outlaw, car

demanding food at farm houses
at the point of a pistol. He
came here Sunday and since
then the officers have been pur-
suing him.
Henderson declares he will not
be taken alive. His mother re-

Crowded Sunday Excursion Train
Wrecked at Black River,
Mich.
ONE MAN LOSES HIS LIFE
Three Probably Fatally Hurt and Fifty
Others Injured.

ALPENA, Mich, June 9.-One
man was killed, three probably
fatally hurt. and nearly fifty 9TH
ers severely injured when a
crowded excursion train was
wrecked at Black River yester-
day.
The train, which consisted of
twelve coaches, all crowded, was
running at a high rate of speed
when the crash came.
The excursion was under the
auspices of the German Aid soci-
ETY. of Alpena., When the train
reached Black river the1tender
jumped the track Engineer
Hopper instantly set the brakes
and reversed his engine.
The sudden stop threw the
first three coaches off the track
and into the ditch. The first car
was thrown half around and the
next two coaches plowed into it
and cut it in two.
August Gronlnski, the only
person killed, was seated in this
coach with forty other excur-
sionists. His body was terribly
crushed and death was instanta
neous.
Grosinski's young son was sit
ting IN a seat with him, but es-
capped unhurt. He picked up his
fathers hand that was severed
from the arm and carried it from
the car.
The three wrecked coaches
were piled up in a heap and 200
feet of the track was torn up.
AS soon as the occupants of
the uninjured coaches recovered
from the shock and surprise they
rushed to the wrecked cars and
began aiding the injured.
They were extricated from the
wreck with frantic haste and civ
en- all possible relief, pending the
arrival of the relief train. This
train brought eight surgeons
from Alpena.
After temporary dressings had
been made of the most serious
wounds all the injured were
brought back to this city, where
the surgeons worked over them
until late last night.

they were overtaken by three
men in the buggy from which
they had stolen the robes, and,
without the least warning, the
men in the buggy opened fire.
Lacey fell at the first shot and
expired instantly. The second
shot hit Gottschall in the right
arm, Just above the elbow, inflict-
ing a wound that may cause him
to lose his arm.

Saved BY Life Belt in Tree.

OSHKOSH, Wis, June 9-By
breaking the impact of human
body against an oak tree life
preserver undoubtedly saved
Professor Harman, aerOnaut,
from being crushed to death Sun
day.
One of the features of the op-
ening of Electric park, south of
the city, was balloon ascension.
AS the balloon was freed from its
moorings gust of wind swept it
along the ground, and the aero
naut and the parachute appliance
were hurled against a huge oak
tree.
Harman struck one of the
limbs, and though it was five
inches in diameter, it was snapped
off. The trapeze and parachute
and the lower rigging of the bal
loon were torn off and Harman
was left in the tree. The balloon
proper sailed on, turned bottom
side up, and collapsed not far
away. Harman had expected to
land in Lake Winnebago, and had
two life preservers strapped on.
These broke the force of the i'm
pact against the tree. Harman
was bruised but no bones were
broken.

Flames Stampede and Burn Sixty
Patients in st. Luke
VICTIMS OF DRINK AND DRUGS
Many of Them We're Shackled and
Powerless to Help Themselves
Some Thrilling Rescues
Were Made.

CHICAGO, June 1O-Teu lives
were lost and about forty persons
injured yesterday in fire that
destroyed the old Woodruff hotel
Wabash avenue and Twenty First
street, lately occupied by the ST.
Luke society as a hospital for in
ebriates.
Ten of the victims were burned,
as the flames swept the five floors
of the building so rapidly that all
chance Of escape was cut off.
One man jumped from a fifth
story window and was instantly
killed.
The long list of casualties was
due to the fact that many of the
patients, violent and uncontrola-
BILE, were manacled, while others,
in addition, were bound to their
beds.
After a conference lasting un-
til midnight Inspector LAWN Or
dered that Orland E. Miller, pres
ident of the st. Luke's society;
John P. Nagle, William Sterner,
and William Lanahan, engineers
and Lee Seymour, the fireman,
be held without bail pending the
coroner's inquest.
William E. Kent, the blind al
derman FROM the Fourth ward,
was one of the victims. His
body was found lying on the floor
of his room burned to a crisp.
Most of the bodies were charred
beyond recognition.
Many of the seventy inmates of
the institution we're badly burned
before being rescued and two
were fatally hurt by jumping
from windows.
There were many heroic res
cues by the early arrivals at the
fire. More than thirty persons
were carried down from the fire
escapes. Rescuers were badly
burned as they dragged the pa
tlents from the building. In the
panic that followed the discovery
of the fire many were trampled
on and crushed. The timely ar
rival of scores of spectators, who
assisted in the work of rescue,
prevented a much greater loss of
life.
ALI the men who were burned
to death were pen ned in their
rooms. Those who escaped to
the Railways were either rescued
or jumped from the windows.
Weakened by some affliction for
which they were under treatment
the victims were unable to leave
their rooms, and many were
burned in their beds. Most of
the patients we're undressed
when the fire started.
None of the patients in the
rooms with barred windows lost
their lives. The weaker patients
unable to arise from their beds
or creep to the doors. were
caught in the deathtrap and were
dead before help could reach
them.
Suffering from the effects Of
alcoholic drink and narcotics
many of the inmates became wild
with fear when the flames shot
up the elevator shaft and spread
down the Railways. Refusing to
follow the nurses they had to be
abandoned to their fate, while
the attendants fed from the
wards with the flames roaring
around them. Hair was burned
from the heads of doctors and
attendants in charge, and their
faces were covered with blisters
when they were carried to the
street.
Heroic efforts to rescue the in
mates were displayed on every
hand. Men rushed from the
stores and houses in the neigbor-
hood and into the burning build
