The coming together of The indie
pendent and The Christian at Work. is
part of a general change in the status
of class papers. The New York OBJ
server. once edited by s. Irenaeus
Prime, announces that it has ceased
to be a distinctively religious journal
and will enter the field occupied by
The Independent and The Outlook, fol-
lowing the example of The Christian
Union. a paper now Incorporated with
The Outlook, OF class papers of an
other sort. the New York Clipper,
Wilkes Spirit of the Times, the New
York Ledger. etc. are rarely heard of,
though in times past everybody inter
ested in their kind of literature read
them. Now, as dailies increase IN size
and especially as they broaden in
scope, the essentially class paper finds,
it more and more difficult TO compete
with them. 50 do the monthly maya
zines, for that matter.

If the Santa Fe system buys out the
Oceanic company the charms of Ha-
wall Will be advertised in every inn
portant city of the country and along
six or seven thousand miles of the
Santa FEES own track. This logical Sc
quence OF such a purchase will inspire
a very general hope that the deal may
not lapse. Hawaii has reached pc
riod when it needs tourists and the
best way to get them is with the aid
of a combined transcontinental rail-
road line and trans-Pacif1c steamship
enterprise. The Santa Fe and South
ern Pacific together built up Southern
California and either one or the other
of them could, il it would, give US
minimum of 3Sse tourists year. Los
Angeles gets from &c, 6ee to 20, eco, so
our estimate for Hawaii is not high.

A SPECIAL MESSAGE.
Gov. Nash Asks the Ohio Legislature
TO Pass His Taxation bills.

Columbus, o., April 2.-Gov. Nash
on Tuesday sent to the Legislature
special message urging the passage
of the corporation and excise tax
bills and other measures carrying
out the administrations plan for re-
form in taxation. 1t is estimated
tnat the various tax bills now pend
ing, if enacted into laws, would yield
the state revenue of $2,20O,O00 an-
nually. 1t is proposed to offset this
increase in revenue by reduction in
the state levy, thus relieving the bur-
den of taxation on real and personal
property.
Gov. Nash declares that his advo-
cacy of these measures is not in
spired by any feeling of hostility to
corporations, and in proof of his
friendliness urges the adoption of the
pending resolutions providing for
submission to vote of the people of
amendments to the constitution abol-
ishing the double stock liability"
clause and enlarging the powers of
the general assembly ON the subject
of taxation.

TEN THOUSAND OUT.
Miners Declare a Strike that VIII Az
feet an Army of Men.

Altoona, Pa. April after mass
meetings of the Rochester and Pitts
burg Coal and Iron Co.'S miners were
held at PunXsutawney and Sykesville
yesterday the threatened strike was
formally declared. 1t involves 10000
miners and will have the effect of
curtailing the employment of nearly
as many more railroad men, em-
ployed by the Buffalo, Rochester &
Pittsburg Railroad Co., whose freight
traffic will be nearly paralyzed in
consequence of the strike.
Not mine worker employed by
the Rochester & Pittsburg Co. will be
at work except the bumpers and
track layers. it being agreed to keep
these men at work to protect the
mines. 1t was decided by vote,
however, that if General Manager
Robinson should attempt to evict the
strikers from their homes, many of
which are owned by the company,
the bumpers and track layers will
also be called out and the mines al
lowed to flood. 1t wa. also decided
that any overtures for a settlement
must come from Robinson. Any at
tempt to import other miners win be
resisted. The strikers have assur-
ance of support from the district and
national treasures of the United
Mine Workers.

A LITTLE FARCE COMEDY.
H II Played in Chicago by Railway
Traffic Managers.

Chicago, April 2.-At the session of
the Interstate commerce commission
held in Chicago yesterday the traffic
managers and general freight agents
of the Rock Island, Santa Fe, Milwau-
kee & st. Paul, Chicago & Alton,
Burlington, Missouri Pacific, Wabash
and Chicago Great Western railroads
were examined as regards their
knowledge of cutting rates on export
traffic from the Missouri river to the
Atlantic seaboard.
Commissioner Prouty conducted
the examination and brought out the
fact that few of the roads published
their export tariffs.
Some of the traffic officials took the
position that they were not COM
peeled, under the law, to publish ex-
port tariffs for the reason that they
had to make the rates in con juno
tion with the ocean rates and the lat
ter tiuctuated from day to day.
Commissioner Prouty, however,
thought that export rates must be
published the same as domestic, and
each road in turn was requested to
file export tariffs whenever changes
are made hereafter.
The export business, Mr.. Prouty
said, amounted to fully SO per cent.
of the total seaboard business and
unless export tariffs were filed it
would not be possible to secure the
maintenance of any rates to the sea-
board.
1t appeared during the investiga-
tion that the Rock Island road filed a
tariff on packing house products, to
be in effect from February Is to
March Is, from Missouri river points
to New York, of 42H cents hun
dred pounds, while the rate filed by
the other roads was 4sK cents, and
as most of the latter managed to get
full share of the business, the COM
missioners surmised that the rates
had been cut by these roads. This,
however, was denied by all of the wit
nesses.
Assistant Traffic Manager Cores
testified that the Rock Islands re-
duction in rate was made because it
could not get any business at Kan
sas City at the 4sH cent rate.
The testimony of the officials of
the other roads was that they faith
fully maintained the 4SR cent rate

CHICAGO'S ELECTION.
Tho People of the Windy City Vote I'm
Favor of Municipal Ownership Of
Public Utilities.

Chicago, April 2.-The republicans
and democrats each made n net gain
of one alderman in the city election
held Tuesday. The new council will
consist of 80 republicans, 80 demo-
Gratis and one independent. The old
council consisted of 3S republicans.
30 democrats end independents.
The hottest fight of the campaign
was in the First ward, where a de-
termined effort was made by the op-
ponents of John Coughlin, known as
bath House," to defeat him. 1t was
the only ward in the city where any
thing like full vote was polled.
Coughlin won easily, securing a ma
jority of 2,605 votes over David l.
Frank, the republican candidate.
Questions of public policy involving
municipal ownership of street car
systems, gas works and similar util-
tiles were voted, the vote in every in
stance being strongly in favor of
municipal ownership. The question
of abolishing the various town gov
ernments, such as the North, South
and West towns, was also voted upon
in the affirmative. The vote upon
these questions carries with it no
action, the desire being to ascertain
the wish of the people. Action in ac-
cordance with the vote of the major
ity may be taken at some later time.
In the South town the democrats
elected the assessor, collector and
clerk by majorities aproximating 2,-
900. In the town of Lake View the
republicans had n clean sweep.

Omaha, Neb., April City cleo

of Ohama. Generally, local issues
predominated and the matter of ma
tional politics entered but slightly
into the campaigns. Nebraska has a
local option law and the question of
license or no license was the slogan
in a number of the larger towns
The campaign in South Omaha was a
three cornered fight between demo-
Gratis, republicans and citizens can
didates. The republicans elected
their mayor and the rest of the ticket
probably will be republican. In Lin

DISASTER IN A MINE.
Terrible Explosion in Colliery at
Dayton, Tenn.
Ten Dead Bodies Are Recovered
Twelve StiII Remain I'm the
Mine-Caused by Cnrefess-
ness of workmen.

Chattanooga, Tenn, April 1.-At 4:45
o'clock Monday afternoon an explosion
of gas in the Nelson mine of the Day
ton Coal & Iron company at Dayton,
Tenn, ignited the dry coal dust in the
mine and caused terrific explosion.
Twenty-two'men are known to be dead.
Ten bodies have been recovered.
Twelve bodies are still in the mine.
Due to CnreIessnesss.
Gas exists in the Nelson mine and the
men are required to use safety lamps.
1t is the rule of the company for the
miners to place their fuses ready to be
lighted for blasts just before quitting
work each day, and there are workmen
known as "fremen" who go through
the mine after all the miners are out
and set off these blasts. The miners
quit work at 80 o'clock Monday after
noon. 1t takes them about As minutes
to get out of the mine. The two fire
men" who are supposed to have caused
the explosion are Lark Hunter and
John Harney. They shot the blasts
about 4:45 o'clock, before all the
miners could get out of the mine. 1t
is supposed that one of the fuses was
defective and resulted in what is
known as a "blown blast" The flame
shooting out from the blast ignited
the gas. which in turn ignited TIE ac-
stimulation of dry coal dust in the mine.
The explosion that followed was hor-
rible in its intensity 1t shot out Of
the mouth of the mine and completely
wrecked the shed at the mine entrance.
Three men were killed while starding
outside the mine and two seriously and
one fatally injured.
Scene of Former Disasters.
The mine has been the scene of two
serious explosions in the past In 1889
four men were killed and eight serious
ly injured by an explosion of gas. De-
cember 90, 1895. an explosion of mine
dust occurred in which % lives were
lost. This was caused by miner car
rying an open lamp contrary to regu-
lations.
In May, 1901, an explosion of sim
liar nature occurred in the Shalliday
mine, operated by the same company,
In which 81 lives were lost.
The force of the explosion in the
Nelson mine Monday was terrible.
Bodies were literally mangled and
torn to pieces. The company states
that there were but IS men at work
in the mine Monday. Most of them
were out of the mine when the eXplo-
sion occurred.

Out--Neighbors PowcrIcss
TO Save Inmates OF
burning Home

Johnstown, Pa, April 2.-Six per-
yons were burned to death last night

Philip P. Mitchell, aged SO years.
Jacob p. Mitchell, aged IA.
Mary Martha Mitchell, aged 12.
Charles Edward Mitchell, aged II.
Jesse M. Mitchell, aged s.

The members of the family had re-
tired, with the exception of one son,
who was away. In the house at the
time were sleeping Mr.. and Mrs.
Mitchell, the children who were
burned and three other children.
Mrs. Mitchell and her daughter
Sophia were the first to be awakened
by the smoke and flames. They woke
the father and ran outside and
screamed for help.
Neighbors were aroused, but they
could do nothing but stand helpless
ly by and watch the house burn and
with it the bodies of the father and
five children. Mrs. Mitchell endeav-
ored to save the children and gath
eTeu UHeU1 III IL room ABOVE the
kitchen. They were frightened and
as fast as she got them into this
room they ran out. Finally she was
compelled to abandon her efforts to
save all the children.
Mitchell, as soon as he was awak-
ened, rushed down stairs to the
kitchen to get some water to sx-
tinguish the fire. He did not realize
the extent of the flames when he left
his room, but when he reached the
first floor he saw it was impossible to
save the house. Then he returned up
stairs and was not seen alive again.
He perished in the burning rafters of
his own home, trying to save the
lives of his children. The five chill
dren were never seen by anyone out
side the house. Mrs. Mitchell was
seriously burned, but her injuries
will not prove fatal. The house was
reduced to ashes.
