THREE-QUARTERS Of A MILLION
Is What Columbia Wants Yearly as
Pay for the Panama
Canal Rights

A Washington special says: Senor
Concha, the Colombian minister, de-
livered to Secretary Hay Monday a
definite protocol between the United
States and Colombia, embodying the
terms under which Colombia will
agree to concede the rights necessary
for the construction of Panama ca
nal.
1t is understood that Colombia gives
unqualified consent to the sale OF the
rights of the new auama Canal Com
pany to the United States government
and the ccnsummation CT its offer OF
s4O.Oo0,O00. 1t is stated that the proto-
col embodies adequate and sausiac-
tory provisions for the completion,
maintenance, operation, control and
protection of a Panama canal by this
government. 1t was stated most posi-
lively Monday that, beyond the 5,Ooe-
600 francs (about s1,000,0QO) in stock
which the Colombian government
holds in the canal company, no por-
tion of the s4O,OOO,00O will revert to
Colombia.
1t has been made clear that the pro-
tocol just delivered withho.ds the city
Of Panama from the United States soy-
ereignty. Panama city is practically
the state of Panama, for there is no
other town of Importance within the
state. The administration of justice
within the belt is provided for in the
shape of mixed tribunals, and the right
to pursue criminals charged with
crimes committed within the limits OF
the belt to any part of Colombia is be-
slowed. Compensation for the canal
rights is desired to be in the shape OF
an annual rental of about S750,O00.

FRlGHTFUL HORROR
Explosion in Tennessee Mine
Wreaks Death and Disaster.
VICTIMS NUMBER TWENTY-FIVE
Premature Blast Causes Dire Calamity
In Nelson Pit of Dayton
Goa! and Iron
Company.

At4:45 o'clock Monday afternoon al
explosion of gas in the Nelson mine OF
the Dayton Coal and Iron Company, at
Dayton, Tenn, ignitcd the dry coal
| dust in the mine and caused terrlnc
| explosion. twenty-five men are known
| to be dead.
The LIST cf Dead.
Whites-James Franklin, Tom Sha'
| yer. James Harris, P. G. Travis, Alex
Toffer. Lark Hunter, John Harney.
Colored-J. E.. Hill, Bryant Smith,
| Mack Foust, George Grifiss, Ben Grit
| hss, Reese Dean, Norris Piersoll, Nor
gan Smith, John Robinson.
Six others, names unknown.
w. T. Head, brother of James Head,
Superintendent of the mine, was ia
tally burned, while seven men were
seriously injured.
How the Disaster Occurred.
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 blast just be-
fore quitting work each day, and there
are workmen known as "firemen' who
20 through the mine after all the min
ers are out and set off these blasts.
The miners quit work at 4:3G o'clock
Monday afternoon. 1t took them about
forty-five minutes to get out OF the
mine.
The two "firemen" on this occasion,
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 sup
posed that one Of these fuses was de-
fective and resulted in what is known
as a blown blast" The flames, shoot
ing out from the blast, ignited the gas,
which in turn ignited the accumula-
tion of dry coal dust in the mine. The
explosion that followed was horrible
in it's intensity. 1t shot out of the
mouth OF the mine and completely
wrecked the shed at the mine en-
trance. Three men were killed while
standing outside the mine and two Sc
riously and one fatally injured.
Former Explosions.
This mine has been the scene OF
two serious explosions in the past.
In 1899 four men were killed and
eight seriously injured by an explo-
sion Of gas.
December 20, 1895, an explosion OF
mine dust occurred in which twenty
eight lives were lost. This was caused
by a miner carrying an open lamp
contrary to regulations:
In May, 1901, an explosion of SIM
liar nature occurred In The Shalliday
mine, operated by the same company,
in which twenty-one lives were lost.
The force Of the explosion in the
Nelson mine was terrible. Bodies were
literally mangled and torn to pieces.
The company states that there were
but seventy-fve men at work in the
mine, most CT them being out when
the explosion occurred.
Reports from Dayton at midnight
showed that eleven dead bodies had
been taken from the Ne:son mine. The
company claims there are but eight
more in the mine Miners claim there
are twelve to fifteen more. .Rescuing
parties are at work, but at late hour
during the night struck heavy fall
of slate that will delay them for a
day or two.

MILES WON'T RESIGN.

General Says He viii Fight 1t Out
With the Administration.
A Washington special says: Gen
eral Miles means to stay in the fight
with the administration to the last
ditch.
Il am no gutter" is the substance
of his reply to his friends who advised
him to retire.
These friends urged his voluntary
retirement as soon as they read the
rebuke of Roosevelt and Root pub
lished in the papers sent to congress
Saturday. Miles declares he will stick
it out until he reaches the age limit
cf 64 unless retired by Roosevelt.
In the meantime another rebuke is
in store for the lieutenant general.
He said in one of his letters that the
warfare in the Philippines has been
conducted with marked seveeeritymfw
conducted with marked sever
ity. This charge was based, he
declared, upon letter from Governor
Taft and other officials communica-
tions. He had read Governor Taft's
letter transmitting charges made by
the rival governor Of Fayahas against
the militia administration in that prov
ince.
General Chaffee has been directed
to make an investigation OF the secre-
tary's charges and the department is
confident that they will be found to
be groundless. If this be the case,
then the generals statement will make
him liable to further condemnation.
The entire affair, in the opinion CT
army prophets. is gradually reaching
a climax The goth of May, when
Leonard Wood cuts loose from Cuba,
is drawing near, and the return of
Wood is believed to mark the crisis in
the Miles affair
Then the prophets say Mllees will
go and Wood will succeed him.

TO EDUCATE THE BRITISHERS,
Bulk of Wealth of Cecil Rhodes Goes
to Promote His Imperial Plan
of Education.

The London Daily Mail says that 1t
is in position to assert that the late
Cecil Rhodes left the bulk of his for
tune, except some personal and fam
lily bequests, to the promotion Of his
vast imperial plan of education. This
project embraces every land over
which the Union Jack flies. Its pur-
pose is the intellectual betterment of
the British race throughout the world,
and the fostering of the imperial SEN
timent.
The Daily Mail adds that this idea
Of better fitting younger Britain to
cope successfully with rival nationa!l-
ties was long a dominant scheme with
Cecil Rhodes, but even his closest
friends little imagined the absorbing
hold it obtained upon him until this
was disclosed by the terms OF his Will.
The details of this plan of education
will be made pubic in few days.
State Funeral Program.
A special from Cape Town says:
"The coffin containing the body OF Ce-
Gil Rhodes will be conveyed to the par
liamentary buildings here during the
morning of April 8 and will lie IN
state in the vestibule till o'clock In
the afternoon, when it will be removed
to the Anglican cathedral. where the
first portion of the burial service will
be read.
"The funeral procession will after
wards traverse the principal streets of
Cape Town to the railroad station.
Thence the coffin will be taken by spe-
cial train to Buluwayo, stopping for
short time at Kimberley. Only a few
intimate friends will accompany the
body to Buluwayo. The coffin, during
the funeral procession at Cape Town,
will be carried on the gun carriage OF
Long Cecil the famous gun used at
the siege of Kimberley"

Terrorized By Desperate.

Word was received in Columbia
from Horny county day or two ago
that John Harrell, negro desperate
and an escaped convict, is running
loose and terrorizing the people OF that
section. He has made threats against
the lives of some Of the best citizens
Of the county, including the intendant
the magistrate, the clerk of the court.
the deputy sheriff and others.
There seems to have been some
doubt among the county officials as TO
whose business it. was to arrest the
negro. AS a result there has been
little or no effort to capture him.
Governor McSweeney has offered )
reward of $1O0 for his capture, as he.
considers the case serious one and
deserving of official notice.

father.

hard labor in the state penitentary.
The crime of which these two men
were convicted was an unusual one
and has attracted remarkable atten'
ton because Of the prominence OF one
of the principals in the case.
Williamson met j. A. Wertz, a neigh
boring farmer, in the road, and with
the assistance of two negroes. Charley
Snow and Anthony Reeder, whipped
him almost to death. 1t was said by
Williamson that he had great proVoca-
ton for the deed and also he denied
that he had any help in whipping
Wertz. 1t was proved by eye wit
nesses, however, that the two negroes
did help.
Wertz was i'll for five weeks as re-
suit of the whipping. A motion for a
new trial was overruled by Judge
Gary.

WORKERS TO DEMAND RAISE.

Unless Ten Per Cent is Forthcoming
Augusta Mill Operatives Will Quit.
At meeting of the King cotton mill
operatives at Augusta Saturday it was
decided to make a demand for 10
per cent increase in wages on April Z.

King company grants the request, the
other cotton mills in the vicinity will
be requested to meet the raise. If the
King mill refuses, the operatives will
strike.
The King mill authorities say they
will not comply with the demands, and

VIOLATED PEONAGE LAWS.

Wealthy Turpentine Operator Convict.
ed OF Novel Crime in Florida Court.
A jury in the United States court at
Tallahassee, Fla, returned verdict
of guilty against S. M. Clyatt, a veal
thy turpentine operator, who was
charged with a violation Of the peon-
age laws Of the United States.
The evidence introduced at the trial
was to the effect that Clyatt secured
warrants in Georgia for several ne
groes and returning to Florida brought
about the arrests. The negroes were
then taken, it is alleged, to Clyatt's
turpentine farm, near Waterloo, Ca,
where they were made to work until
a debt they were charged with owing
had been paid.
The case was brought by the United
States government, and this is believ.
ed to be the first time that federal
court has ever attempted to enforce
the statute against peonage.
