to combine into unions as have the
operators when they join into price

declared all must be subject To the

and poor. The entire situation was
taken by Mr.. Olney as due to the eff
feet of a protective tariff and indicat

party to power.
\ feature of the meeting was that
many of the prominent democrats

The Projection of Anthracite.

When il was proposed TO relieve the
anthracite coal famine resulting
from the strike by importing Welsh
coal discovery was made concern
ing a provision in the Dingley tariff
law which made the proposed relief
Intellectual. In other words, il was
found that the Dingley bill levied 4
tariff tax upon hard coal, which when
added to the ocean freight charges.
made it impossible to supply foreign
coal at any but an eXorbitant price.
About 1000 tons of coal have been inn
ported into New York under these
schedules since the coal strike began
and duties to the amount of 5000
have been collected on the foreign
product. Since the passage of the
Dingley tariff bill the coal trust has
reaped the benefit of a prohibitive
tariff on anthracite coal. a tax which
is now a factor in preventing ade-
quate relief from the hard coal fam
inc.
For years the general public has
labored under the impression that
anthracite coal was on the free list
because the Dingley tariff schedule
set forth in bold face type:
| "Anthracite, free.
In addition to this the public has
been told frequently by republican
campaign orators that coal was or
the free list, and no less political
authority than President Roosevelt
in his recent Cincinnati speech de-
] clared that there was no tariff on
hard coal.
| In the miscellaneous tariff Sched-
ules. however. is clause which
proves the above declaration to be
not only misleading but without
Foundation. The clause is as follows:
Goals bituminous and all Goals
containing less than 90 per centum OF
fixed carbon and shale. 81 cents per
ton duty of rs bushels. so pounds
to the busheI; coal slack or culm,
such as will pass through a half-inch
screen, Is cents per ton of Is bushels,
so pounds to the bushel."
The manner in which the tariff
duty was placed on coal is best ex-
planned by w. II. Moody, secretary of
the navy, who says:
THE duty of 81 cents a ton on an
thracite coal was struggled into the
tariff act in a sneaking and coward
Iy manner" BY this Secretary Moody
doubtless meant that il was done at
the instance of the coal trust and in
serted in the miscellaneous schedule,
while the regular classified schedule
set forth that anthracite was free in
order to deceive the public. Secre-
tary Moody further declares that the
duty which was ''smuggled into the
tariff act in a cOwardly and sneak
ing manner" will be repealed at the
| short session.

OIney on the Outlook.

Richard Olney, who was secretary
of state under President Cleveland, in
an address at the banquet of the Dem
ocFatic club in Boston, Saturday night,
while criticfsing President Roose-
welt for calling the recent conference
in the coal strike, at the same time
commended Mr.. Roosevelt for his
good motives in attempting to reach
settlement. The operators were
roundly scored for their stubbornness
in refusing TO meet the men half way.
1t was declared by Mr.. Olney that
arbitration would be the only solu-
ton. and the men did their share of
sacrifice in the attempt to end the
strike. The impertinence of the coal
operators to the chief executive of
the nation was denounced as an in
suit to all the people and likely to be-
little the president in the eyes of the
world. 1t was stated, though, that
Mr.. Roosevelt had brought it upon
himself for interfering in a matter
when he had no right.
Mr.. olney was positive in the state

DEATH OF SEVERE.
Details of the Awful Affair in
.. Paris. ..-..
's ---:
AIRSHIP EXPLODED IN THE AIR
He Was 1900 Feet Up and With One
Assistant Was Dashed to
.-- s.. the Ground.
AIRsH1P EXPLODED IN THE All

Paris, May 1.-THE death of Senior Sc
vero, the Brazilian aeronaut who, with
an assistant. was killed this morning by
the explosion of his airsh1o La Paix in
which he was making trial trip, created
terrible CONSERVATION.
Senior Severe RAD invited a number of
friends to witness the ascension; and his
wife ard number OF relatives were fol-
lowing the course Of the balloon in mo-
tor cars. Suddenly, the spectators were
Mortified by bright flash Of light, fol-
lowed by G loud explosion The balloon
which a. this time was 1900 feet above
the ground fell rapidly, landing on the
roof Of house. The aeronaut fell into
the Avenue du Marine and was dashed to
pieces. The bones of his legs were forced
through the soles Of his boots. The en-
gineer who ACCOMPANIED him was burned
to death.
The accident is said to have been caused
by a leakage of gas.
Senior Severe started with the intention
of sailing to the military parade ground
at Issy, and a large number of his rela-
tives and friends were preceding in the
direction Of that village situated five
miles southwest of Paris. With an On.
gineer named Sachet, Severe sailed out Of
his balloon house near the Boulevard de
Vanguard, at $50 a. m. in excellent
spirits and full Of confidence, the aero
naut put his airship through a series of
evolutions, before starting in the direc-
ton of Issv. There seemed to be some
hitch with the steering gear, and the
rear propelling screw turned with diff
Guilty. Nevertheless after several stop
pages, the airship sailed off. moving
steadily enough through a light breeze.
/ Suddenly "a puff of wind caught the ship
| and whirled it over the Avenue du Marne.
The ship turned completely around and
veered about in a fashion showing that
| control of her lad been lost
Then from the center of the outer en-
! velope, a tongue of fame darted out. This
was followed by loud report, resembling
a cannon shot and the ship sank like a
stone falling on the roof Of house,
| thence into some trees, and finally reach
ling the avenue du Marine, almost on top
of it's occupants who had previously been
precipitated TO the stone pavement. The
/ fearfully mang1ed corpses Of Severe ard
Sachet were conveyed to neighboring
police station. The bodies presented a
horrible spectacle and especially that OF
/ Sachet. The flame which caused the rex-
i plosion burned the engineer in a most
shocking manner. Practically not bone
of either victim was left unfractured and
both skulls were terrible crushed.
