HORROR IN MEXICAN MINE.
Four Killed and Six Fatally Injured
BY Gas Explosion.

Four Killed and Six Fatally Injured
BY Gas Explosion.
San Antonio, Tex, May 31-Four
killed instantly and six fatally injured
is the result of a gas explosion in
shaft No. 5 of the Hendo coal mines,
on the Mexican international railroad,
rs miles from Eagle Pass. The explo-
sion occurred last Friday, but the
news of the accident has just reached
this city.
The mine is the property of the
Mexican International Railroad COM
pany and the shaft in which the ex-
plosion occurred is the same in which
an explosion occurred last February,
killing 106 men and injuring almost
as many more.
The names of the dead and injured
in this second disaster are not given,
but they were all Mexicans. At the
time the explosion occurred there were
but few men at work in shaft No. s.,
80 having been laid off the day before.

Appalling Municipal corruntion

ST. Louis, May 31.-The April grand
Jury which has been investigating mu-
nicipal corruption with the assistance
of Circuit Attorney Joseph w. Polk,
made its final report today to Judge
Douglas The report says that while
there may have been corruption in
other cities as great as we have had
here, yet in no place in the world and
in no time known to history has so
much official corruption been uncover
ed and the evidence shea so that
all could see and understand These
revelations have been so appalling as
to be almost beyond belief. and it
will be years before the extent of the
discoveries are fully realized"

pisarmed sentry and Esoaped.

Chicago, May S1.-Frank H. War
rem and Edgar Wallum, two general
prisoners at Fort Sheridan, have es-
capped. The men who had been taken
out to work sprang on William Brown,
the sentry who had them in charge,
disarmed him after struggle and
then fed, leaving him insensible. Both
prisoners were serving long terms for
desertion and had been sent to Fort
Sheridan from some other post. Scouts
were sent out in every direction after
the refugees and they secured the
country for over two hours, but with
out success. The affair is the second
of the kind that has happened at the
post in less than a month.

The exposition opened on Dec. 1 last

The enterprise will be loss finan-

LORD SALISBURY AND
EDWARD AT OUTS
England's Premier Denies a
Request of His King.
BARELY ON SPEAKING TERMS
Recent Events Have Caused Consider.
able commotion In Royal Circles
and There Is Much Criticism
Throughout the Empire.

London, May 31-Those in touch
with the royal circles are gossiping
about the reported tiff between Lord
Salisbury and King Edward, which is
said to have arisen On account of the
kings demand that the premier recon-
mend Sir Ernest Cassel for a peerage.
Last year the same request met with
refusal This year it was urged by
the king on the ground of Sir Ernest's
munificent gift of 6 100000 toward the
cure of consumption. The premier
absolutely refused to countenance the
suggestion and at the end of a stormy
interview which occurred the day the
state dinner was held at Buckingham
palace Lord Salisbury remarked;
We'll, sir, suppose l had better
leave my place at tonight's banquet
vacant?"
TO which the king is said to have
replied: Yes, | think you had" and
stalked out OF the room Since then,
according to court gossip, the king and
his prime minister have scarcely been
on speaking terms.
Another incident causing considera-
BILE commotion in royal circles is the
disagreement between King Edward
and the Duchess of Buccleugh, mem
Der of the old style exclusive aristoc-
racy, who has not countenanced the
so-called smart set"
The king is to dine with the Duke
and Duchess of Buccleugh and init
mated his desire that a lady of his
surroundings be invited. This is usual
ly tantamount to command, but the
Duchess of Buccleugh, nothing daunt-
ed, refused to ask the kings friend
to make one Of the dinner party. His
majesty was furious and threatened to
cancel his promise to dine with the
Buccleughs. whereat the Duchess of
Buccleugh retorted that she was quite
willing to send her resignation as mis-
tress of the robes to Queen Alexan-
dria
Later in the day the king thought
better of it, informed the Buccleughs
that he accepted the exclusion of his
favorite and forbade the duchess to
resign.
Many members Of the nobility, espe-
cially old country families, make no
secret Of their disapproyal of various
events of the kings social life.

LONDON EXULTS AT
PROSPECT OF PEACE
Britishers Preparing For a
Great Jollifioation.
ALL HONOR TO LORD KITCHENER

/
Little 5obs" DecIined-Ex-slrdar of
the Egyptian Forces Regarded as
Savior of His Country.
London, May 31.-If a definite an
nouncement of peace in South Africa
is made on Monday as expected that
night will bid fair to rival the eele-
| bration which occurred when the relief
of Mafeking was officially announced
in May, 1900. Throughout London ar
rangements have already been made
| for numerous peace dinners. The aris-
tocracy will "Maff1k" on no small scale
and doubtless the denizens of White
chapel and the various East End quar-
tiers will invade the Strand and other
thoroughfares with their wild exulta-
ton.
For Monday afternoon every seat
in the house of commons is already
pre-empted. If the statement of the
government leader, A. j. Balfour,
comes up to expectations, little will
be done in the United Kingdom that
day except exultation over the end of
the war that has tried the spirit of the
nation to its uttermost.
Ermine For Kitchener.
Already the wiseacres are saying
that Lord Kitchener will be made earl
and receive the thanks of the parlia-
ment accompanied by a substantial
grant of money. One of the most GU
rious features of the war is the re-
markable way in which Lord Kitch-
ener has deepened the awesome re-
spect, akin to fear, with which the
British nation regards him and his la
comic reports, and his utterly independ-
ent prosecution of the campaign in
South Africa has heightened his mill
tary reputation to such an extent that
he has actually become god to the
average man in the street. Yet he Is
universally admitted to have next to
nothing in common with the country
men or their government.
Lord Roberts Lost Prestige.
AS Lord Kitcheners star has ascend
ed so has Lord Roberts declined. The
general optimism of the old fighter,
who is now commander-in-chief, CRATES
SO bitterly upon people severely over
taxed for the war which Lord Roberts
so long ago declared finished, that the
spontaneous popularity which made
him the hero of the jubilee procession
could never be repeated at the coro-
nation. Indeed, it is more likely to be
transformd into hostile demonstra-
tion in which General Buffers name
may be greeted with cheers.
Savior of His Country.
However, peace is undoubtedly the
question of the hour and LORD Kitch-
ener is once more the man of the mo-
ment. Lord Miner may or may not
have played an important part in
the peace negotiations, but popular
and political opinion has assigned to
the ex-sirdar of the Egyptian forces
the bringing about Of the present ne
gotiations. This feeling is by no means
confined to outsiders. Great financial
magnates whose information regard
ing the conditions in South Africa has
often been better than the govern
ment's, and whose interests there are
almost as great as the empires, de.
clare that Lord Kitchener is the savior
of his country.
