the new ships to be constructed shall
be built under the supervision of the
Secretary of the Navy in one of the
government navy yards and 1t is this
provision which will occasion wide
difference of opinion in both the
House and the Senate. 1t is general
ly supposed that the provision will
pass the House because 1t is warmly
espoused by the labor organizations
who believe that they would profit
were the government to build its own
ships. In the Senate, however, It
will meet with more vigorous opposi
ton. Senator Perkins OF California
is championing it because he believes
the Secretary will select the Mare
Island Navy Yard and that will mean
not only the construction of ship at
that point but the investment of
$I75,ooo, carried by the bill, for the
establishment of the necessary plant.
The democrats are inclined to favor
the provision because they believe 1t
is blow at the trust which now con-
structs our naval vessels. Senators
Hanna and Mcmillan, who are stock
holders in the trust, are bitterly op-
posed to it. Senator Hale, Chair
man of the Senate Committee on
Naval Affairs, will oppose the pro.
vision on economic grounds as he
does not believe the fund above men
toned would prove nearly adequate
to install the necessary machinery, etc.

FEARFUL ACCIDENT NEAR PITTSBURC

Death and Destruction Far and
Wide - Great Loss of
PrOperty.

PITTSBURG, May 14.-A careful
and systematic search for the dead and
injured in the Sheridan horror reveals
n list of % dead and 202 injured. The
complete list of the injured may never
be known, as many were able to get
away without making known their
identity. A conservative estimate made
by those thoroughly familiar with the
situation places the number more or
less seriously hurt at not less than 300.
The death list will likely be added to,
as quite a number of the victims at the
hospitals are reported by the ophysi-
clans to be in such serious condition
that it will be miracle If they survive.
The cause of the catastrophe was the
explosion of train of naphtha cars
which were being switched at the
yards, and in the switching the rear
car telescoped u car forward The leak
ing naphtha ignited from a switch
light. causing an explosion which
threw the flames fifty feet high. Much

feared, fatally injured.
The damage to property by the ex-
plosions and fire were heavy. The loss
at the mouth of Corks Run tunnel
alone will probably exceed 100000. In
addition to the heavy loss by the rail
road company twenty-five houses were
destroyed either by the force of the ex-
plosions or by the fire which followed.

BICYCLE RIDER KILLED.
Archie McEachern Meets with n Fa-
tai Accident.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., May A.
Archie McEachern, the well known
champion bicycle rider Of Toronto,
while being paced by motor tandem
ut the Coliseum track met with an ac-
cident which resulted in his death
twenty minutes later.
The accident was the result of the
breaking of the chain on the motor
cycle. Riding the tandem were Alf
Boake and Robert B. Thompson, who
have raced with McEachern for ten
years past The effort was to estab-
lsh a new mile record.
Several miles had been covered when
the chain broke, and in the sudden
slowing up Of the damaged tandem
McEachern collided with it and shot
i'm the air like a rocket. His head
struck against projecting board
which cut cash in his neck from
which blood spurted in a stream. The
jugular vein had been torn open. He
expired shortly after his removal to a
hospital. Boake and Thompson were
uninjured.

THE TIEUP COMPLETE.
Anthracite workers to Man Join
Big strike.


Big strike.
PHILADELPHIA. May 13-Mine
workers throughout the entire anthra-
cite coal regions of Pennsylvania to
the number of $4,000 have formally
begun their struggle for increased
wages and shorter hours. Never in the
history of hard coal mining has tie
up been so complete, not one of the 337
collieries in the territory being in oper-
alton. There is every indication for the
belief that the suspension which was
to cover only the first three days of
this week will be made permanent by
the miners general convention at
Hazleton.
The coal companies in various parts
of the regions have already made prep
arations for siege. Coal train crews,
telegraph operators, switchmen, car
penters, machinists and other employ
ees numbering several thousand not
identified with the Mine Workers un-
ion have been laid Off until further no
tice. Some of the companies have also
brought their mules to the surface and
placed them in pasture.

When strength is full and

This is health.
When weak, in low spirits,
no cheer, no spring, when rest

AGAINST BEEF TRUST TERRIFIC EXPLOSION
Attorney General of New York
Begins Action.
REFEREE NAMED TO TAKE TESTIMONY
Application Made Under the Dom
nelly Antitrust Law-Proccedings
Being Carefully Guarded I'm
til subpenas Are Served.

I'LL SuDpGnus are SerNeu.
ALBANY, N. Y, May 14.-Attorney
General Davies personally made APP
plication to Supreme Justice Chester
at his chamber late In the afternoon
for the appointment Of referee to
take the testimony of certain witnesses
in the matter of the so called beef
trust preliminary to framing com
plant.
The application was granted, and
ex-Justice Landon of Schenectady was
appointed referee, and a hearing will
be had before the said referee in this
city tomorrow.
Governor Odel has been fully ad
vised of the result of the investiga-
ton made by the attorney general to
date, and the proceedings by the at
torney general meet with his entire ap-
proval.
Attorney General Davies said that
an attache of his office had been dis
patched to subpoena the various wit
nesses upon whose evidence his de-
partment intends to prove its case. He
declined to make public at present Ell
ther the names of the firms that he is
proceeding against or the men that
he intends to call as witnesses.
His application to Judge Chester was
made under the provisions of the Don
nelly antitrust law, and the depart
ment intends to guard all of the par
ticulars of the action until a personal
service of the papers in the case has
been secured. He stated that eight
persons are named in the moving pa
pers and intimated that additional wit
nesses would be called should it be
deemed advisable. The attorney gen
eral was accompanied by Judge j..
Newton Fiero when he appeared be-
fore Justice Chester In his chamber
to move the case. The proceedings
were secret, and every effort was made
to carefully guard against the names
of the interested parties leaking out.
The action is entitled, John c. Da-
vies as attorney general In behalf of
the state of New York in the matter
of the application to hear and deter

The action is directed against Ar
thur Colby, who is believed by the at

been sacrificed to popular clamor and
that his entire removal from public
service would be msconstrued by
many good men. Considering the
fact that the President has given Mr..
Evans former place To a Kansas
soldier Senator Burton viii present
no opposition to Evans continuation.
The Senator apparently fails to realize
that practically any man who fills the
position of Pension Commissioner
and administers the Office with abso-
lutte rectltude will incur more or less
enmity and particularly from the
pension attorneys.

Second, in whose name must our
good be done? Not in the name OF
some fraternal organization. but in
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ;
"for nasmuch as We have done it

brethren, ye have done it unto me.
Mr.. Cline said that fraternities were
a great thing in way: that he him.
self belonged to several, but only as
profitable investment for the pro-
lection of his family in this life, for
not one of them can bridge the river
of death and land a single soul in the
presence of God.
He pleaded with the Christians pres
ent to look about them for the many
opportunities for doing good lin His
name" to give up some of their clubs
and dinners and theaters and spend
more money for Christ. for surely in
city like Pine Bluff. with its many
clubs, there could at least be formed
one band of Christian women who
would make it their business to carry
sunshine into the poverty stricken
homes which are all around us.
Mr.. Cline declared that one man
with God on his side is the majority.
and that if the Christian people OF
this city would wake up to realiza-
ton of their duty and put in practice
the pure religion of the Lord Jesus
Christ they could very soon stamp out
the hell-holes of vice and corruption
which are running the young people,
and alleviate the suffering of the poor
of this town. Then, by thus doing
good, they would become good.
Sunday evening Mrs. l.. o. Knox
renderoa very beautiful solo which
was appreciated hv all present. Mrs.
Knox is we'll known in musical circles
and all who hear her sing are charm
ed with the clear. pure melody of her
voice.
Mr.. Cline's subject for the evening
was "a Journey from Rome to Jeru-
salem and Back" His object was to
show how the Bible. after being coul-
pleted in A. D. 90, had passed through
human hands and had been condenser
and changed by human authority, for
convenience. until at last it was al
most oblterated; covered up. as 1t
were, by human creeds and laws.
Mr.. Cline made plea for Christian
union and said he would rejoice to
see the day when all of Gods people
