CONFERRED WITH MITCHELL.

Illinois Leaders Posted Him on Sit
uatiOn I'm Their Territory-Soft
Coal Miners of West Not Anxious
for Strike.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 19.-The ar
rival of President w. r. Russell and
Secretary and Treasurer w. D. Ryan
of the Illinois miners organization for
conference with National President
Mitchell, was the only event of any i'm
portance around strike headquarters
to-day. The two Illinois leaders ar
rived at o'clock. and went imme-
diately into a conference with their
chief. which lasted two hours.
President Mitchell after the meeting
said the Illinois men came to see him
for the purpose of discussing West
EN- mining matters" Neither Mr.. Rus
sell nor Mr.. Ryan had anything to say
beyond the statement that they felt
Wen satisfied with the situation, both
East and West.
There is not the slightest doubt that
the Illinois officials brought informa-
ton to Mr.. Mitchell which will be of
use to him in connection with the
Minneapolis meeting. Information
mas reached here through
different sources that the soft
coal miners in the West are not unan-
imous for a general strike, and some
OF them. it is said, are against a par
tial suspension Those men who op-
pose strike are willing to give finan-
cal aid TO the anthracite strikers, but
some of the leaders are not ready to
accept this sort of aid. There is now
a strike tax of 10 cents a month for
each member in force, but as far as
can be- learned. this is not being paid
in full by all the districts in the coun-
try. For this reason the leaders would
rather have the bituminous miners
either strike or partially suspend OPP
eratlons. President Mitchell has been
in close communication with the lead
egs of the various districts and what
ever plan they decide upon will, no
doubt, be adopted by the convention.
No radical action, such as a total sus-
pension of work by the entire MEM
bership of the organization, is looked
for
President Mitchell received informa-
ton to-day from West Virginia which
indicates that the strike there is pro-
crossing most favorably. He said
more men are now out in that terri
tory than at any other time since the
strike in the Virginias began. Large
gains have been made. Mr.. Mitchell
said, along the line of the Norfolk
and Western Railroad

A POWDER MILL. EXPLOSION.

Four Dead and Two Others Expect
ed to Die-Powder Adhered 20
Clothing and Burned Into Flesh of
Victims.
Johnstown. Pa, June 19.-The coming
mill of the Cambria Powder Company
plant at Seward. 10 miles from Johns
town. blew up this afternoon. killing
three men and injuring FIVE others. one
of whom has since died. Two others
are fatally hurt. The dead are:
J. &. SMITH of Seward, aged 80
years, married and leaves a large fam-
lily.
JOHN RHODES of Seward. aged IS
years, married and leaves large fam
lily.
CHARLES DROVER. of Wapwall-
open, Luzerne county, aged 35 years
and unmarried.
w. F. BRACKEN, of Seward, mar
ried. and has three children.
The explosion occurred as the men
were loading a pot of powder on a
wagon driven by Rhodes. Suddenly
there was an explosion and the flames
flew i'm every direction. The powder,
adhering to the clothing of the men,
ignited, burning into the flesh the vic
tins.
A strange feature of the accident
was the fact that Drover was abole to
walk 800 yards from the scene of the
explosion before he fell dead from his
terrible burns. His flesh, like that of
the other victims. was burned to a
crisp. The shanty in which the coin
ing mill is located was ignited by the
explosion of the powder and was burn
ed to the ground, but the financial
loss is slight

20 years, one of the oldest and best

attempted suicide this afternoon by
slashing his throat with pocket

Realizing that he might do some rash
deed Mr.. Monk has not been carrying
his pocket knife about his person. To-
day, however, he borrowed 1t from his
wife, for the purpose of cutting some
tobacco. His little grandchild, Fannie
May Edwards, was the only person in
the room when he tried to kill him

blood would not stain the floor, he
caught UP the skin of his throat and
deliberately sawed away with the
knife. The little girls screams drew

Aourishing the knife, warned him to

him, prevailed him to surrender the

MUST WORK OUT ITS DESTINY.
Democratic Report on Bill to Inves-
tigate Status of Negro Race.

Washington, June 19.-The Demo-
cratic members of the House Commit
tee on Labor to-day filed a minority
report on the bill creating a commits
sion to inquire into the status of the
negro race. The minority says there
does not seem to be the slightest me-
cessity for the creation of this commits
sion, nor for considering the status of
the negro race apart from other races.
The negro race can never reach its
full development" says the report
until 1t is permitted by the govern
ment to work out it's destiny as do the
other races with which it comes in
contact"
The report further says the real OBJ
ject of the inquiry is to secure the in
vestigation proposed by the Crumpack-
er resolution. Such inquiries are not
of advantage to the great bulk of the
negroes, and benefit only those who
make merchandise of their politics. It
is urged also that the progress of the
mass Of the negroes in the South is de-
pendent upon the cooperation and
good will of the whites among whom
they live.

AN OFFICIAL GONE WRONG.
Disbursing officer of Department of
Justice Arrested.

Washington, June 19.-Henry Rech-
tin, disbursing officer of the Depart
ment of Justice, was to-day arrested on
the charge of Incorporating $1,000
of government funds. He confessed
to the shortage. Information received
by Attorney General Knox some time
ago led to a suspicion that something
was wrong with Rechtin's books, and
the arrest followed on examination of
the books under the direction of Con-
troller of the Treasury Tracewell. He
had concealed the shortage six years
by means of temporary loans.
Rechtin attributes his trouble to fast
living and speculation. The shortage
is fully covered by his bond of 100000.
Rechtin came here with Attorney
General Harmon and was formerly
clerk in one of the Cincinnati courts.
He is a bachelor about As years old,
and had an income of about $1,000 an
nually.

killed by an explosion of dynamite in
a mine yesterday evening A miner
who accompanied the remains said
that about twenty-five miners were at
work in mine near Williamson yes
