ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE
That Is Probably the Total Death Roll of
the Rolling Mill Pit Horror.

JohnstOwn, Pa, July IA careful
and complete compilation by the Asso-
ciated Press shows that the total dead
as the result of the explosion in the
Rolling Mill pit number 112. This is
up to late Saturday night. No bodies
were recovered yesterday. the atten-
ton of the community being devoted
to the burial of the dead There were
funerals all day, the burials taking
place constantly and the victims being
buried in long trenches. Those best
qualified to speak say there may be a
few more bodies in the mine but they
will be very few.
1t is stated that John Retallick, one
of the fire bosses who got out of the
mine alive, will testify before the cor
oner that the cause of the explosion
was too heavy blast put in and fired
by men in No. 6 right entry.
The disaster has made sixty-four
widows and 13S half orphans.
The state mine inspectors met here
yesterday, gave the Rolling Mill pit a
thorough inspection and granted the
company permission to resume opera

to him an addrss of welcome which ex-
pressed the admiration of that great
body for his service in South Africa.
Lord Kitchener, in reply. thanked the
town officers. He said that whatever
success he had accomplished was due
to the rank and file of the army. Loud
calls were made for French and Ham,

when they appeared and spoke few

an Enthusiastic Ovation.
London, July 14.-Lord Kitchener
and General French arrived in London
at 1 O'Clock Saturday afternoon and
met with a tremendous ovation. They
took carriages from the railway sta
ton TO st. James Palace, where they
lunched with the Prince of Wales,
Duke of Connaught, Earl Roberts and
Secretary of War Brodrick. The party,
which numbered twenty, then went
with Lord Kitchener on visit to the
king at Buckingham Palace. They
afterward drove to the residence of a
personal friend of Lord Kitchener,
Ralli. the Greek marchant, in Belgra-
via square
The crowds found that Lord Kitch-
ener had not changed as man. He re-
ceived many aGdresses-here and at
Southampton--but his replies were al
ways brief and confined TO an express
sion Of thanks. But he recognized in
the mayor Of Paddington Sir John Arid

lord Kitchener's face Immediately
took on an expression OF greater inter

was listenin to the laudatory senti-
ments of the formal sentence. He said:
'-How is the dam getting on" Sir John
replied: I'VE expect to get it finished
this year."
When this reply was made Lord
Kitchener nodded his head In approval,
smiled and said: 'Ths.t's capital, capi-

China Gives the Post to Sir Liam Chen
wu Not Surprised.
Peking, July 14.-Sir Liam Chen,
secretary of the Chinese embassy to
the coronation of King Edward, has
been appointed Chinese minister to the
United States.
Washington, July 14.-Wu, the Chi
nese minister at Washington, was not
surprised to hear of the appointment
of successor to himself. as he has
been expecting an announcement of
this character for some time. He had
received notice that his services would
be required in another capacity, and
for this reason has been prepared to
hear of the naming of his successor at
any time.
Sir Liam Chen, the newly appointed
minister, is comparatively young
man, being only little over 40 years
of age. Like the present minister, he
is said to be man of progressive
ideas, whose opinions have been
formed from his education, which was
received partly in the United States;
from his former connection with the
Chinese embassy here, and from his
contact with European civilization in
the course of several special missions.

settlement with the railroads only to
please the teamsters, who previously
had indorsed the attempt of the board

will reject all proposals which shall

Every teamsters' union in Chicago

GOOD Doctrine to Abandon, Says Har-
ward Professor.
Chicago, July 15.-The Monroe doe
trine and President Monroe were dis
cussed by Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart,
of Harvard university, in lecture
at the University Of Chicago last
night. Monroe was not the father of
the sO-called doctrine" said Professor
Hart, land it is doing him too much
honor to attribute it to him. 1t was
solely the work of John Quincy Ad-
ans, who kept urging Monroe to take
the step until he yielded, rather
against his will"
The Monroe doctrine. or as the lee
turer called it, the doctrine of para
mount interest" was declared a dead
letter. 1T is useless to attempt to po-
lice all of tie American continent" he
said. land we will only get involved
in costly wars if we stick to it."

GROWS WORSE DAILY.
Strike of Freight Handlers at
Chicago Let's Loose Bar
reIs of Trouble.
TRANSFERS GO INTO THE FIGHT
Regardless of Their Leaders and
of Their Engagements-Both
Sides Make Statements.

Chicago, July 1.-THE strike con-
ditions confronting Chicago are more
serious than ever. The committees of
FIVE of the freight handlers were un-
allie tC reach any agreements with the
railways, and this plan of settlement,
of which much had been hoped by
those working for peace, was aban-
doned. AS result of this situation the
following are the developments: Seven
thousand truck teamsters started a
sympathetic strike. Business houses
were tied up and traffic about the rail-
road warehouses practically suspend
ed. Freight handlers sent committees
to railway switchmen and requested
them to strike. Ice wagon drivers re-
fused to handle ice for the railro Dads.
Dock labOrers refused to handle
freight they believe diverted by the
railroads. President Currap issued an
appeal to dock labOrers, switchmen
and all teamsters to join the freight
handlers.
What the Entertainment Is Costing.
The end OF the trsC week of the
strike has been taken as an occasion
for computing the cost to date, which,
together with the number of men in
volved is as follows: Freight handlers
on strike, 1900; truck teamsters, 1000;
dock laborers. 80; commission drivers,
500; men likely to be involved, 10000;
cost TO freight handlers each day S15,-
0OO cost to freight handlers for the
week, S90,0C0; loss to merchants each
day (estimated), S400,000; loss to mer-
chants for the week, S2,400,000; loss
in traffic to railroads for week, $780,
600: total loss for first week of strike,
$5,990,000.
Where the Negotiations Stick.
When the negotiatOrs met the de-
mands of the men were Is cents, time
and one-half for overtime, and no pc
riod of probation, all men TO receive
full pay from the start. The North
western road offered 1112 cents an
hour, single time for overtime for men
employed by the day, but not for men
whose wages are paid by the month.
The Erie offered II cents, single time
for overtime, and no period of proba-
ton. The Illinois Central declared that
it had made an agreement with its en-
plOyes since the inauguration of the
strike, and that it would do no more.
The men must accept that or remain
on strike.
Not According to Conditions.
One of the conditions of the negoti-
ations- stated by the board of arbi-
tratiOn-was that the committees Of
the unions must have power to decide.
But after the conferences were con-
cluded each union committee an
nounced that it did not possess this
power, but must report back to the
union.

Balfour's first appearance in the
house of commons as premier was
characteristic of the man and of the
assembly. From the party meeting at
the foreign Office the members trooped
over en- bloc, and shortly after 2 D. m.
the house was packed. Both front
benches were filled with ministers and
cx-ministers except for a vacant place
opposite the mace, where Balfour was
such familiar figure. Peers came in
to the strangers gallery and leaned
expectantly upon the rails. Suddenly
the clatter ceased and there appeared
from behind the speakers chair the
long, thin figure of the prime minister.

Madrid, July 12.-The young King
Alfonso by his eccentric actions is

freely expressed as to his sanity. He
seems to combine the depraved tastes
of his notorious grandmother with the
responsibility of his half-imbecile
father. After angering the military
authorities and anita agOniZing his imn-
listers. he is now on strained terms
with the queen mother. whom he has
repeatedly insulted grossly"
Madrid, July 12.-Eing Alfonso has
captured the hearts of his subjects
This 16-year-old monarch has already
shown himself of so firm a character,
as well as quick and supple mind, that
be has kept his ministers in constant
wonderment as to what he would do
next"
