WAS INJURED.

Special Fury Upon Largest Tim
Plate Plant in WOrId-The Roof
Torn OF, Every Stack Blown
Down, Steam Pipes Broken and
Building Filled With Steam While
Employees Were in Darkness.
WOrkmen Were Panic-Stricken
Yet None Was Hurt.
Newcastle, Pa, May 6.-The Sha-
mango tin plate works in this city, the
largest tin plate plant in the world,
was almost wrecked by a Cyclone to-
day Every stack was torn from its
foundations and hurled through the
Roof of the buildings, steam pipes were
tlcken and torn away, the Roof torn
off and damage done which will reach
nearly $4,000 A panic occurred among
the 1000 employees at the plant. but
strange to say, not a single employee
was injured. The wind, which was of
southwest. 1t was preceded by
period. of extreme sultriness which
greatly affected the men at work in
the mill. Shortly afterward the cy-
clone came with frightful rush and
roar. The tin mill seemed to the the
object of it's special fury as compare
lively little damage was done else
where in the city. For a minute or
two it became almost totally dark as
the wind whirled along. Then through
the darkness came the crash Of the
roofing tearing away, the breaking of
guy wires, and then the falling of the
stacks. The stacks crashed through
the roof into the tin mill and
in their fall broke the steam
pipes which run to every part
of the mill. In an instant the mill
was filled with scalding steam, which
hid every avenue of exit and left the
workmen already in panic to struggle
about in the steam and darkness. The
entire day turn in the big mills was
at work, but every man escaped with
out injury further than an unimpor-
tant bruise or two received in running.
The entire plant is shut down and will
remain so for a month while repairs
are under way.

Rev. w. H. Walker told of the execu-
ton OF 1000 Filipino prisoners by a
battalion of American troops because
there was not sufficient food for them.
Mr.. Turner said he did not vouch for
the truthfulness of the story, but felt
that 1t ought to be investigated.
MIR. Lodge said that he would investi-
gate the matter, although he felt it
was utterly without foundation.
In conclusion, Senator Turner said
he felt keenly the perfidy involved in
our conduct of the war in the Philip
pines. No more unjust war had ever
been waGed than that which we are
aging against those people.
Lust of dominion" said Mr.. Turner,
greed of conquest, overruled the So
her judgment of the American officials
and drove us into this war"

to-day granted pardons in the cases of
William H. Weber, John Haddow, Tom
Braley, Cass Braley and David Clark
son. After a hearing before United
States District Judge Mcdowell of the
Western district of Virginia, the petit
tioners We're adjudged guilty of con-
tempt of court, and on March rs, 1902.
were sentenced as follows: William II.
Weber and John Haddow to be impris-
qned In the city Jail of Lynchburg, Va,
for six months: Tom Braley to be inn
prisoned in the county jail of Wise
county for one month, and Cass Braley
and David Clarkson to be imprisoned
in the city Jail of Wise county for
two months each.
Weber and Haddow were organizers
of the United Mine Workers and had
been in the neighborhood of the mine
engaged in the work of organization for
six or eight months. The other three
petitioners were miners employed at
the works, and members of the United
Mine Workers.
The specific charge in these cases
was disobedience of an order and in !,
junction by the court restraining the
petitioners from going upon the mine
property or in any way interfering be-
tween the miners and their employers.
The Attorney General in his letter
to the President on these cases, said
The facts in this case are set forth
in the accompanying brief of the par
don attorney. l am unwilling to base
a recommendation on seeming acqui-
escence in the view of the court that
the ultimate purpose of the union (the
United Mine Workers. is not legal:
and it is proper to express the belief
that the difficulties at the mine were
aggravated by the arbitrary discharge
of union workmen. Nevertheless, 1
do not intend by this statement to pass
upon the final judicial finding of fact
that contempt was committed.
Under all the circumstances, and
especially in view of the punishment
already suffered, l recommend that as
an act of executive grace. the applica-
ton for pardon be granted

MASSACHUSETTS DEFEATED.
Her Plan for Admission of COIOred
WOmen's Clubs Given Final KNOCK
Out Mt Los Angeles.

Out Mt Los Angeles.
Los Angeles, Cal. May 6.-To-day
may be chronicled as the day when
Massachusetts club women saw the
plans for which they have been fighting
two years go down before the vote or
the National Federation. The final de-
feat was given to the proposal for the
adm.sslo of colored women's clubs;
the effort to down the individual club
as step toward reorganization
through state declarations only, failed,
and the plan TO reduce the per capita
tax from 10 to cents, was showed un-
der. The dispatch with which the three
issues were defeated, in the midst OF
intense excitement on both sides, Vas
a matter of surprise even to the dele
gates who aided in the result.
There is no element of bitterness in
the defeat and the union of the South
and the North, as far as the women's
clubs are concerned, promises to stay
cemented for some time.
Massachusetts was first obliged to
bow TO adverse fate when it was dis
covered that her cherished series of
amendments were illegal in that they
disfranchised members already in.
L teN were lileIelOIG SlllNhCh AAOAi thS
lists.
The convention then turned its at
tention to compromise amendments.
considering section of article l. After
several efforts to change it was ac-
cepted as proposed by the Compromise
Committee.
Then came consideration of section 8
of article 2. the second feature in the
color matter. Miss Jane Adams of
Chicago, who believes in the admission
of colored clubs, wished this section
amended so that two votes instead of
one vote of the Membership Commit
tee of five would be necessary to keep
an unwelcome club out. Miss Adams
made a worthy plea, but the amend
ment went down before a large vote.
Then came a friendly contest for the
entertainment of the next biennial.
Mrs. Williams, who spoke for Mime
aDolis, said the Commercial Club had
pledged the money and promised to do
all the work
Mrs. Shields of Missouri, backed with
invitations from men in high positions,
extended a similar invitation from st.
Louis.
