FIREDAMP AND ATTENDANT.

In accidents like that which occurred in the Cam
br.s mines Thursday two kinds of gas con-

called marsh gas by chemists. The other is after

when pure. is made up of carbon and hydrogen.
n the proportion OF atom of the former TO four
of the latter. Mixed with air, It behaves like acety
aene naphtha and other hydro-carbon vapors. 1t is
highly explosive, and takes fire slight provoca-
1fon. The two chemical elements composing the
fredamp separated by combustion, and each
forms new association with the oxygen of the
air. The hydrogen thus produces a small guam
it,ty of water which is harmless. The carbon
snakes carbon dioKide. carbonic acid gas, which

The Rolling Mill mine has been worked for
about fifty years. Five or six years ago the
section where the disaster of yesterday occurred
was opened. The miners fancifully called 1t the

years gas has been noticed in 1t. and careful
inspections were kept up. In the last three
years safety lamps had been carried by the
men. Frank Sabot, of the boys who met
death in an heroic endeavor to save his comrades,
was safely out of the mine after the explosion.

SOFT COAL MEN ORGANIZE.
PREPARING TO MEET THE SITUATION If
THEIR EMPLOYEES SHOULD STRIKE.

On account Of the present state OF the soft coal
market and the uncertainty TO what the btu
1nnous miners may do at their convention July
~, number OF soft coal operators and dealers met
yesterday afternoon at No. l Broadway to discuss
the situation. The meeting held in the Offices
of the Empire Coal Mining Company, and was at
itended by representatives of about twenty-five
Ecerns. George D. Harris, of George D. Harris &
Co. elected chairman of the meeting and j. ].
Van Pelt secretary. Among the firms represented
were the Beech Creek Coal and Coke Company,
West Virginia and Pittsburg Coal Company,
lRichter & Marshall Davis Coal and Coke Com
tpany, Somerset Coal Company. Cambria Coal Min
ling Company. Alfred Tucker & Co. Duncan &
ispangler, Owens & Co. Pilling & Crane, W. F.

It decided organize as the Bituminous
kCoai Operators Association. George d. Harris
twas elected temporary chairman, and J. ]. Van
ffeit temporary secretary. It was decided 10 meet
next Wednesday TO elect permanent officers.
In the last day two soft coal has been going
down rapidly in price. This is ascribed TO large
shipments arriving here. Yesterday afternoon the
Jprice advanced a little.
After the meeting James Kerr, president of the
FBeech Creek Coal Mining Company, of No. II
broadway made the following statement:
In view of the national convention Of bituminous
fnners, which has been called for July II. these
14arbor. held informal conference discover If
Stock was suficient to take care Of the PRESENT
iIequirements. and what the effect would be in the
ieyent of a general suspension of work being
tdered. The consensus OF opinion that the
stocks in sight were rather light, and that the
market demand would continue to increase as the
possibility Of the miners action more into
view. and that the consumers of coal were without
large stocks hand It further considered
tthat under these circumstances the consumers
sxould be likely increase their requirements,
THAT the trade would be rather brisk for a few
fsgeeks.
We cannot predict what the miners will do at the
toonyention- Most people believe they will not
sstrEke, but then people believed the anthra-
fcite miners would not strike. It looks to that
they may decide 10 remain at work and contribute
80 the anthracite miners, but ii is impossible to
predict.
A number OF coal dealers who seen said that
soft coal not likely 10 become dearer unless
she bituninous miners struck. They also said they
could find plenty of il to buy II is expected that
advance in the price OF soft coal will the re-

Chicago. July 11.-Mutual concessions by the

conferences, which will be the result OF the work
OF the Chicago Board of Arbitration, will be held
tomorrow morning in the offices Of the respective

After working all day upon the situation the
Board of Arbitration tonight made the following
recommendation which has been accepted by the
railroads and by the freight handlers:
That committee of five, four of whom must be
employees of their respective railroads. and having
fun power to act, meet with the proper oiicers

CONCESSIONS TO VATICAN.
TAFTs NEGOTIATIONS NOT EXPECTED
TO FAIL.
SATISFACTORY COMPROMISE ON THE
PHILIPPINE FRIARS' QUESTION.

Washington, July 1.-THE negota tions now
in progress at the Vatican respecting the Philip
pine friars and their lands will not OF that
the administration officials here feel certain, II
realized at the beginning. when Governor
Tafts instructions were framed, that they rep
resented the extreme limit of this governments
claims and did not preclude the idea of reason
able compromise by mutual concessions. The
negotiations proceeding in this spirit. The
United States Government will not secure
everything it desired, because. even If the Pope
were disposed to concede these things, the ne
gotations have developed the fact that. al
though his power is theoretically unlimited, the
Internal politics of the Vatican actually impose
conditions even the head of the Church which
he must observe. Therefore the immediate and
complete withdrawal of the Spanish friars from
the Philippines is not now expected, but it is
believed that the desired result can be accom-
plished by an arrangement for the substitution
of friars of other nationaties, and the principal
issue at present is as to the time within which
this change may be brought about.
AS the friars almost all In Manila, and
a heavy charge the converts and MEM
bers of the Catholic Church outside the orders
who are maintaining them, 1t is expected that
they will hasten the solution of the problem by
voluntarily seeking other fields of labor, for 1t
is not held to be within the power of the United
States Government to re-estahlish them in their
parishes against the desires of the native Cath
olcs. Although Governor Taft must make con-
cessions on this point, he has been successful
in other matters, and especially in the mat
ter of religious education in the public schools.
The committee of Cardinals insisted strongly
that any arrangement made with Governor Taft
must include some provision for religious train
Ing in the schools, but it appears now that the
committee has consented to an indefinite post
ponement Of this issue, which Is in itself
satisfactory solution Of the case from the point
of view of the United States.
Secretary Root who is in direct charge Of
these negotiations In Washington has been in
conference with Secretary Hay, and the reply
to the Vaticans last communication will repre-
sent the best judgment of these two Cabinet
officers. and will in addition be submitted to the
President in its essential points before being
forwarded to Rome.
