A good deal of needless agitation has
been caused in the war office by Lord

Donald Currie and learned that he
would be sailing to South Africa within
As hours. Lord Wellesley exclaimed:

Come on" was the reply, and Lord
Wellesley went at the shortest possible
notice. 1t is not unlikely that he will
see Lord Kitchener and obtain some
sidelights on the mysteries of the cam

The scramble to be apostolic delegate
at Washington continues, says a dis

candidates to succeed Monsignor Mar

threatened to kill the negro nurse.

REFUSED REINSTATEMENT.
American Express at Lynn Leaves
Strikers Out in the Cold.

Lynn. Mass, March 1S.-The en-
ployes of the American Express co.
who struck, last week, in sympathy
with the freight handlers in Boston,
and who have been refused reinstate-
ment by the company, as they had Sc
cured new men to take their places, re-
ceived an ultmatum, this afternoon, to
the effect that they will not be taken
back unless the company has places for
them in the future.
The local Board of Trade sought to
bring about a settlement between the
strikers and the company, and the
boards president, Charles ii. Hastings,
received a letter, today, from President
Fargo of the American Express Co.,
which read as follows:
1.-THE nature of the company's bust
ness is such as to make it absolutely
necessary that the most trustworthy
and reliable of men shall be engaged in
carrying on its business. The men at
Lynn voluntarily left the company's
service as they had a perfect right to
do. Their object in leaving does not
concern us, as the company has moth
ing to do with their action nor is it
claimed by the men it had.
I'VE have since their departure en-
ployed other men to fill their vacancies
and so long as the new men are salts
factory to the company in every way
we cannot in justice remove them
Whenever vacancies occur in Lynn If
still the old employees are open for en-
gagement their applications will be
considered and they will have the ad-
vantage over others of experience in
the business. No discrimination will
be used against them, neither will any
favor be shown because they happen
to be union men,
The president Of Team Drivers
Union, No. AZ, after he had read the
ultimatum. stated that the strike was
now on ard will be fought to the end.

WERNER TALKS OF HORROR.
Mine Inspector Gives View of Lost
Creek Disaster.

Oskaloosa, Jan. 2S.-John Vernon of
this city, mine inspector for the Sec
ond district, who was called to Lost
Creek to examine into the cause of the
explosion. finds no fault with the con-
dition of the mine. In reply to ques-
ton as to how similar disasters may
be averted Mr.. Werner said:
In the states of Missouri and Kan
sas, believe shot firers must be en-
ployed to fire the shots after the min
ers have quit work and left the mine.
The mining laws of these states make
the employment of the shot firers
mandatory. consider legislative ac-
ton in this regard of doubtful value.
1t alone has done little and will do
little to remove the danger attending
the firing of shots in coal mines. 1t
simply cuts down the number of ia
talities. If the coal of Iowa can only
be produced at an imminent and ever
present danger to the lives of the
miners or shot firers, coal mining in
Iowa should cease. 1t should be dis.
continued unless some way can be pro
vided to insure the men in the mines
some reasonable safety. This safety
in my judgment can never be secur.
ed by legislative action. There car
be no relief unless the matter is TAX
en- up by the miners and operators OF
the state and these parties most inter
ested agree upon some plan to bring
greater security and protection to life
and property.
United and prompt action is needed
and | suggest that commission be
appointed, composed Of the best in
formed and practically experienced
miners of Iowa and a committee OF
operators and mine inspectors. The
manner of mining coal by blasting
must be changed materially. 1t is
uneless to hunt for relief at the out
skirts. 1t is useless to adopt meas
ures that may have tendency to les
sen the disastrous effects of these ex
plosions. The evil must be att ,cket
in its most vital spot, ana in order tt
get COOL and lasting results. the earn
est cooperation of all parties interest
ed must be given. The dread of in
pending disaster now existing anon;
the miners of this state must be re
moved without delay AMI a greare
sense of security instillea"
