The Rev. DR.. Stafford, rector of st.

celebrated high mass and preached his
first Sunday sermon since his return to
this country from Europe, where he had
spent three months on account of his

benefited by the trip and his general ap-

covered that the vein of iron ore at

PLEA FOR RELIEF.
Minnesota Makes II I'm Regard to the
Fight to Prevent Combines,

Minneapolis, Mimi, March s.--At-
tOrney General Douglas has appealed
to congress in the Northern Securi-
ties case. With the backing of the
Minnesota legislature and of the Min
nesota delegation in both branches
at Washington he hopes for an
amendment to the judicial acts, which
will change the anomalous position
in which Minnesota is now placed.
The supreme courts decision in the
Northern Securities case shuts out
the state completely from redress in
the federal courts. The court laws
down the rule that a state cannot
sue citizen of another state where
citizens of plaintiff state are neces-
sary parties. This class of case is
absolutely barred from the federal
courts. In the belief Of most at
torneys the Northern Securities Co.
cannot be reached in the state courts
of Minnesota. An effort in this di-
rection may be made by service upon
President Hill, himself citizen of
the state, but there is not much hope
of success in this direction.
Attorney General Douglas has
ItcDSnlLtb lht eIIecL OF
this decision and has called the at
tention of Gov. Van SAINT to it in
letter. This was transmitted to the
legislature. The senate received it
late Thursday afternoon and at the
same time Senator Wilson presented
a resolution drawn by the attorney
general. 1t was passed Immediately.
The attorney generals letter was
read before the house yesterday but
the resolution did not make its APP
pearance until later, when it was
brought in from the senate. The
house concurred by viva voce vote.
Attorney General Douglas already
has written two members of the Min
nesota delegation, Senator Nelson
and Representative Stevens. He has
asked them to look after the matter,
and it is probable that they will in
trOduce bill in both branches
amending the judiciary act as the at
torney general suggests.

LIGHT OUTPUT.
The Main Feature of the Past Week
In the Industrial World.

New York, March 6.-R. G. Dun &c
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Unsettled weather was the most un-
satisfactory feature of the business
situation. A sudden thaw follow
ing an exceptionally heavy snowfall
produced freshets and floods. Man
ufacturing and transporting inter-
ests suffered severely and consumers
were urgent for shipment of delayed
goods, while great quantities of mer-
chandise became stalled in transit.
Preparations for an enormous spring
trade continue undiminished.
Not only is there no Improvement
to be recorded in the iron and steel
outlook, but floods in the Pittsburg
region added to the pressure by COM
pletely closing many plants and dam
aging much costly machinery. Sup
plies of coke failed to increase be-
cause the railways were badly disor-
ganized. and the net result was a
week of light output when require
ments were notably heavy. Recent
destruction by the elements makes an
unusual demand for structural mate
rial, and on spot business buyers
gladly pay premiums of Sc ton
above list prices.
Nothing new has developed in the
footwear industry. Buyers are de-
laying the placing of fall business in
expectation of securing more satis-
factory terms. Shipments have fall
len below the figures for the same
week last year, but since January 1
there still appears good increase
over 1901.
Cotton goods are well sustained,
but there is much uncertainty as to
the labor situation. Less activity is
reported in the market for woolens.
Failures for the week numbered 176
in the United States, against 208 last
year, and II in Canada, against is last
year.

M'LAURIN'S AMENDMENT.
Would Prevent Judges or Congress-

sidy Bill If IL Becomes Law.

Washington, March S.-Senator Nc
Laurin, of Mississippi, has given no.
tice of an amendment he will offer
to the ship subsidy bill, intended to
prevent the high officials of the Uni
ted States government from receiv-
ing any benefit from the enactment
of the proposed law. The amend
ment requires that the names of all
members of firms or of incorpora-
tors and stockholders of all corpora
tions, whether owners of subsidized
ships or contractors to build the
same, shall be made public. 1t then
proceeds as follows:
"No senator or representative Of
the United States, or judge of any
court of the United States shall be
directly or indirectly interested in
any contract under this act, or in any
corporation having a contract under
this act, or directly or indirectly re-
ceive any money or thing of value
under the provisions of this act, or
be directly or indirectly interested
in any corporation or vessel which is
a beneficiary under this act"

fatally. The dead:

rent, married, badly burned
On Monday a premature explosion
of dynamite caused gas to ignite and
since that time the mine has been
burning. Az the air channels were
closed and it was hoped that the
flames could be smothered. Yester-
day morning 20 men entered the
mine to investigate. It is not ex-
but it is thought that the turning on
of the air which had been shut off
by the fan caused the gas which had
accumulated to ignite. \ terrible
explosion followed, soon after the
men entered. \ relief party headed
by superintendent Seldom and Mine
Inspector Leutitt, made an effort
and nearly succeeded in reaching the
imprisoned men, but were compelled
to return for air. All were over
come and are in serious condition.
\ second relief party. headed by
John Coulter, entered the mine by
another way, but a second explosion
occurred and they were forced to re-
treat. \ third relief party made a
futile attempt \ fourrn attempt
will be made to reach the bodies of
the men who are believed to have
perished.
James lIag%er was reached by one
rescuing party He was found bad
ly burned. James Terrent was burned
by flames that shot up all around
him, but he crawled thousand feet
from his companion, Glider, who was
killed instantly.

BOATS COLLIDE.
Steamer waesIand Sinks Off the Ec1i-
gIish Coast--Two Lives Lost.

London, March THE American
line steamer Waesland, Capt. Apfeld,
from Liverpool March for Philadel-
phia, and the British steamship Har-
monides, Capt. Pentin, from Para
for Liverpool met in collision We'd
nesday night off Holyhead, Wales.
The Waesland sank. All but two of
her passengers and crew were saved.
The Waesiand carried 80 cabin and
So steerage passengers and is owned
by the international Navigation Co.,
but flies the Belgian flag. She piled
regularly between Philadelphia and
Liverpool, touching at Queenstown
each way. Formerly she was known
as the Russia. She is a four-masted
bark-rigged iron vessel of 1876 tons
net. Messrs. j. & G. Thompson
built her at Glasgow in 1867.
Liverpool. March 7.-Fifty-thrce of
the passengers and crew of the
Waesland arrived at Liverpool on
board the Harmonides this morning.
They were received by the agents of
the American line here and were
quartered ut various hotels.
The collision occurred in thick
fog at 1890 O'Clock Wednesday night,
when the Waesland was about 40
miles southwest of Holyhead. The
Harmonides struck the Waesland
amidships and there was a terrible
shock. Most of the Waesland's pas
sengers had retired for the night.
Perfect order and discipline pre-
vailed.
The crew of the steamer rapidly
turned out the passengers and sue
ceeding in assuring them that their
lives were safe. The passengers
were greatly influenced by the cool
ness of the crew and obeyed instruc-
tions willingly and quickly. The
Waeslands boats were speedily got
out and in less than half an hour the
entire ships company had been
transferred to the Harmonides.
Unfortunately two lives were lost.
The dead are steerage passenger
named Dangerfield and child named
Elsie Emmett. the daughter of a
cabin passenger.
The WaeSland sank in 35 minutes
after the collision. The passengers
and crew lost all their belongings.
The vessel carried no mails. The
passengers unite in the highest praise
of the behavior of Capt. Apfeld and
his crew. 1t is expected the com
pany win send on the passengers by
another vessel next week.
