WANTS KRUGER INVITED.
Cochrane introduces Resolution In House to Have Boers Come Here.

Washington. February 4.-Representa- tive Cochrane, Missouri, today introduce ed in the house resolution that the Hon. Paul Kruger president of the South African republic, be invited to visit the United States to be the guest of this government and for the government to de- fray the expense incurred while in this country. Twenty-Five thousand dollars Is asked to be appropriated out of any mon ey of the treasury not otherwise appro- priated.
 Peter Van Vlissingen treasurer Of the Chicago branch of the American Trans vaal league today said:
 ''If the resolution is adopted it will have a powerful influence for good in the peace negotiations now pending. Receiving President Kruger in hos official capacity would be notice to the world that the United States does not look upon paper annexation as final while there is an effective force in the field. To thus show our friendship for the Boers would nave a great moral influence in Great Britain where the masses are fooled into believ- ing that the sympathies or the people or this country are with England in the war. Shatter this belief and you remove the main support of Chamberlain and his adherents. The proposition for an appro- priation of $25,000 to cover expenses is very necessary as President Kruger today is poor man."

Washington, February 1. - (Special) - Representatives Clayton. Taylor and Bankhead appeared before the mines and mining committee this morning with Pr ofessor Thach of the Agricultural and Mechanical College at Auburn and Pro- essor Smith of the State University, Tus- caloosa. in the interests of the bill intro duced by Senator Tillman appropriating $15.0OO to states for the purpose of found ing schools of mining and mineralogy.
 The universities throughout the coun- try which have such schools established sought to obtain the entire amount of this appropriation The friends of the universities and the agricultural and me- chanical colleges have agreed upon an amendment to the bill whereby the ap- propriation may be divided equally be- tween them. The bill will be reported in this form.
 The Senate today favoraby reported the Tillman bill, which will probably be amended in a manner similar to the House bill.
 National Committeeman Dimmick will see the President this week In the inter- est of Collector Bingham. whose reap pointment is opposed by J. P. Burton of Montgomery. Dimmick believes Bingham will be retained.

SHAW THINKS SULZER
 SCHEME A GOOD ONE
Government Would Have Realized a Large Sum if Surplus Had Been
 Deposited in National Banks.

Washington February 4. - Secretary of the Treasury Shaw today wrote a letter to Representative Sulzer of New York concerning the latters bill to deposit government funds at interest in national banks throughout the country. MT. Sul- zer's letter asked information as to the amount of interest which the govern ment would have realized had the pro- posed law been adopted as a part of the national banking law. Secretary Shaw s reply was:
 "If the surplus money in excess of $50,- OC0 GOO working capital had been deposited in clearinghouse cities in proportion tC the relative capital of each bank therein with no other security than a prior Her upon the banks assets, the government would have lost nothing, and if the gov ernment had realized per cent upon the funds so deposited 1t would have re- ceived $32, GOO, 900. Aided in this way the banks would have been able to increase CT edit accommodations to the people in the sum of $200,000, 000
 T think some provision for the deposit of surplus funds belonging to the United States government with national banks upon security other than government bonds would be wise, though I doubt the limitations as to the amount of capital and surplus contained in the bill. I also question the wisdom of mandatory pro- visions of law. LESLIE M. SHAW"

 Captain Shaw says he was sleeping In his bunk when the explosion came and the first he knew of any danger was when he found himself floundering around in the water fully two hundred feet away from the burning boat with his blanket still around him.

Begs Attorneys Not to Try Her
 Ca.s in PttSburg
IS SORRY FOR HER HUSBAND
Says It Was Sympathy for the Biddes and Not Love That Prompted Her Deed-Bought the Saws
 In Mckeesport.

Butler Pa, February 4.-Realizing Soffel does not wish to bring further dis grace and humiliation upon him. She now desires change of venue when she faces trial. She tearfully made this request of District Attorney Robb of AL legheny county In the hospital here to- day. She said she is willing to meet any fate the law may place upon her, but she does not want the punishment ad- ministered in the courthouse across the street from her old home. She begged MT. Robb for almost two hours to grant her this much, in the name of her hus- band who is Mir. Robb's friend, and told him that her husband was in no way to blame for her conduct.
 Mrs. Soffel told the attorney that though she had been charged with crime against the state, she had never sinned. She pleaded that her act was brought about through her sympathy for the Riddles and not her love.
 MT. Robb said he could not make any definite promise to her at this time.
 Bought Saws in McKeesport.
 McKeesport, Pa., February 4.-There was much talk in McKeesport today when It was learned that Mrs. Soffel of Plttsburg came to McKeesport to buy the saws with which the Riddle boys sawed their way out of the Allegheny County jail. About month ago a we'll dressed woman answering the description of the Biddles' accomplice, came here and asked to be directed to a hardware store. She went from there to the hardware store of T. c. McCune where she asked for files but could not be suited and left. From there she went to the Hart man Hardware Company and asked for saws. She did not seem to know just what she wanted but asked for saws that would saw iron. She was finally suited, made the purchase and left. She stated she wanted the saws for her hus- band. Later she went to the store of the McKeesport Hardware Company where she purchased a 32-calibre revolver, but got no ammunition. Little was thought of her visit at the time, but now from all the evidence at hand 1t seems certain that the woman who made the purchases was Mrs. Soffel.

Ways and Means Committee Will Re
 port Measure of Some Kind.

Washington. February 4-Representa- lives Babcock and Long, Republican members of the ways and means commit tee, called on President Roosevelt today and discussed with him Cuban reciproci- ty.

Returns Indicate That Natives Will Be

THIRTY LIVE MEN AND
 85 BODIES RECOVERED
Hondo Mine Explosion Was Caused By Men Leaving ventilatlng Door
 Open and Cutting Off Air.

Eagle Pass, February 4.-Thirty live men and S5 bodies have been recovered from the Hondo mine. Of the thirty few will recover, as all are badly mangled. The Mexican authorities have taken up the matter and are now engaged in an investigation.
 The cause of the explosion. Is explain ed as follows:
 The day shift left the mine at 5So p. m and the gas inspectors found no cause for comment on it's condition at D. m. when the night shift went down. These men were all found dead in their work ing places, generally in the extreme parts of the mine showing that as the night shife commenced work there was no dangerous accumulation of gas. The inference is that the night men in going to their work at z p. m. somewhere left a yentilatlng door open preventing an adeouate current of fresh air and their being an accumulation of gas in part of the mine, the cutting off of ventila- tion resulted quickly in an explosion of gas. Everything possible is being done to alleviate the suffering and distress.

THREE BARGES AND
 THOSE ABOARD LOST
BELIEVED TO HAVE BEEN LOST AT SEA EN ROUTE FROM NEW PORT NEWS TO BosToN-cREW OF THIRTEEN.

New York, February 4.-There Is every reason to believe that three barges coal laden from Newport News for Boston have been lost at sea as result of the storm of Sunday night and that thirteen people comprising the crews have per- ished.
 The barges were the Antelope, Belle of Oregon and Mystic Bell. They were in tow of the tug Richmond and the find Ing of a piece of wreckage bearing the letters 70. P. E." lends confirmation to other information at hand.
 During the height of the blow the Richmond's heavy towing hawser snap ped and the barges went adrift off Fire Island. The tug Richmond belongs to the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company. Agent Willet of that company says that mand of Captain Mcconnell. left New York bay with three barges in tow, coal laden. Each barge had on board three men. Besides these there were Captain Miller and his wife, who acted as cook on the barge Antlope; Captain Harding of the Belle of Oregon. and Captain Rodgers on the Cystic Bell, a total of thirteen persons. Agent Willet was in telephone communication this afternoon with Captain Mcconnell who had reached Newport, R. I. The barges, he said, were well out to sea at o'clock Sunday night off the Long Island coast The rope from the forward barge parted and the barges were blown away from the tug.
 Captain Mcconnell said he did not give up the hope of reecuing the men on the barges until it became too dark for him to distinguish them. The tug then made for Newport.
 Captain Mcconnell thinks the barges and those aboard of them have been lOst
