Washington, July 17-Secretary
Root brought from Oyster Bay the case
of General Jacob H. Smith, tried by
court-martial at Manila on account of
orders to Major Waller. General Smith
was found guilty Of the charges by the
court-martial and sentenced to be ad-

The president has so admonished Gen

which he explains the conditions which
resulted in the court-martial of General

monished by the reviewing authority
and the court appended to the sentence
the following explanation: 1.-THE court
is thus lenient in view of the undis-
puted evidence that the accused die
not mean everything that his unex-
planned language implied; that his
subordinates did not gather such a
meaning; and that the orders were
never executed in such a sense, not
withstanding that a desperate struggle
was being conducted with a cruel and
savage foe"

A Gross Keys Farmer" has dug up the
fact that Congressman Loudenslager voted
against the ''Grout" bill, the bill that
every farmers organization in the country
has been praying and petitioning Congress
these past five years to pass, and wrote
1t to the Camden Post Telegram, with his
comments. Well, Loudenslager went down
to Voodstown 'lectioneering last week, and
when some butter making COW owner put
it at Loudly that gentleman arose to the
occasion. He said the "Grout'' bill was
no good, any how, and those farmers who
petitioned for it didn't know the first
principle of butter making That bill
permitted manufacturers of oleomargarine
to color their hog grease just the same as
farmers and creameries colored cream only
requiring the maker to put a stamp on it
so the purchaser could tell whether the
mixture was butter or cleo.
While ''Loudy'' didn't make any refer
ence to the fact that he had bought and
sold more land than any COW owner in
Salem, yet he gave the impression that he
did own a COW, and was interested in
butter, and if the farmers would just turn
in and "work hard' for his denomination.
he would pass law in Congress that would
take the eoloring matter out of oleomar-
garine. 1t was serious moment for
Loudly" but according to the Monitor
Register his nerve was equal to the test and
the farmers are satisfied that he is firm
friend Of the American COW, and that there
was nothing in law too good for her.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
from our Regular Correspondent


WASHINGTON, Ju ly IA, 1902.
''Sooner or later financial revulsion is
bound to come. When the re-
vulsion comes, the Democrats will be re-
instated. \" This prediction was
made to your correspondent by Senator
Vest in an interview forwarded to you on
July 18th, and the results of that interview
have been far-reaching. The truth of the
prophecy made deep impression on the
Republican leaders, and has given rise to
the widely advertised intention of the Pres
ident and his advisors to introduce an
antitrust law during the short session of
Congress. While every effort has been
made to make political capital out of that
intention, it is rapidly coming out that the
extent of Mr.. Roosevelt's purpose in select
ing Representative Littlefeld to draft a So
called antitrust" law, consist merely in a
prospective effort to secure publicity OF a
preventive of the present tendency to
water trust stock. 1t is held by capitalists
that this over-capitalization of stock is
fraught with danger to the prosperity of the
country, as any sudden financial scare
might result in immense blocks of stock,
which are not representative of legitimate
assets, being thrown on the market with
the certainty OF disastrous panic as the
result. Therefore Mr.. Roosevelt, while
attempting to mislead the country with the
hope of genuine antitrust legislation, will
endeavor TO secure a law which will meet
the support of the capitalists and many of
the trusts themselves.
What can be accomplished by mere pub
licity can be judged by the example of the
Steel Trust which has voluntarily made its
affairs public, and which unblushingly
points to aggregate profits of $64, 600, 900
during the past six months. According to
Representative Babcock, Chairman of the
Republican Congressional Campaign Com
mittee, the Steel Trust is now taking out
of the pockets of the people of the United
States from $40, 100000 to $50, 600, 600
more than it is entitled to annually, and it
does this by virtue of the monopoly secured
to it by the tariff of 45 per cent. on its pro-
ducts; but, it is announced, Mr.. Roosevelt
does not anticipate ''iniuring the trusts by
any reduction of the tariff, - but will simply
advocate legislation which will insure pub
licity of their affairs.

Venice, July 15.--The bell tower of

indianapolis. July 1.-THE national
convention of the United Mine Work
ers assembled in Tomlinson Hall this
morning to discuss the adyisability Of
calling a strike to aid the anthracite

gates are in attendance. The action
of the convention is uncertain al
though the situation indicates thai
there will be no walk-out of the soft

situation that speculation regarding
the result of the convention is not
reliable.
At present President Mitchell car

will not say openly what he wishes
however, asserting that it is the prov

willing to advise, under no circum

the convention what it shall do. Wher

Oyster Bay, N. Y, July 15--President
Roosevelt has invited General Leonard
Wood to visit him at Sycamore Hill
early in August. General Wood is one
of Mr.. Roosevelt's closest friends, and
the president entertains a high regard
for his executive ability. On account
of that fact General Wood is mentioned
as probable member of the isthmian
canal commission to have general
charge of the canal construction. 1t is
understood to be not unlikely that he
may be appointed as the head of the
commission.

Funerals of Victims.

Johnstown, Pa, July a. Saddest
of all the scenes following the
mine disaster of Thursday were
those attending the funerals Satur-
day and yesterday of the 1854
victims. Under the black pail of
smoke that hangs over the city
church bells tolled continually, and all
day long the dead carts rumbled
through the streets to the Slav, Crea-
ton, Greek and Roman Catholic
churches, where the scenes of leave
taking were most affecting. Nearly
all the funerals took place in the Gem
etery where are buried the dead of the
great Johnstown flood.
The burial was simplifed by the dig
ging of long trenches, in place of sep
arate graves. In one OF these 25 cof-
fins were lowered.

EXPLOSION in UTAH MINE
Thirty-five Men Were Killed by Shock
! and Deadly Cases

/ and Deadly Gases.
Park City, Utah. July 17.-Thirty-
five miners were killed in the DAILY
West and Ontario mines yesterday, 20
in the Daly-West and six in the On
toria. The disaster was the result of
an explosion occasioned by John
Burgy, miner, going into one of the
magazines of the DAILY West with a
lighted candle. His act cost him his
life and the lives of many other min
ers beside. His own body was blown
into small pieces.
The explosion occurred at 11.20
o'clock Tuesday night, and In mo-
ment deadly gas was being generated
throughout the mines; it crept through
every tunnel, shaft and incline, and in
! a very short space of time scores of
miners found themselves face to face
with death 1t is not known how much
powder was exploded, but whatever
amount there was. it went off with a
terrible conclusion. The shock was
something terrific, and was heard for
long distance When it is stated
that a horse was killed at the mouth
of the Ontario tunnel, two miles away,
some idea of the force of the explosion
may be had. That the loss of life was
not far greater seems marvellous.
The work of rescuing the imperiled
and dead was quickly and heroically
undertaken. Men were brought to the
surface as fast as the disabled ma
chinery would permit. The victims
had to be brought up the shaft in a
| accompaniment cage, the other COM
partment having been wrecked by the
explosion.
| In the Ontario. which is connected
with the Daly-West, six men are dead.
| Two of the dead are rescuers, John
| Mclaughlin and John Eckstrom. The
body OF the latter is still in the mine.
