The Stampede In Missouri.

The recent Missouri convention is
causing great grief to the conservative
democratic leaders there and to their
allies in the east. The eastern man.
ayers said, in effect, that if Missouri,
which had made an idol of "Silver
Dick" Bland and given birth to the
Kansas City platform, would only take
a conservative stand it would be easy
to convince the east that the sacred
ratio would be left to the dead past.
The conservative Missouri leaders
were willing to oblige their eastern
friends. Governor Dockery has been
laboring patiently to convince his par
ty that the crime of '73 should not be
disinterred from its lonely grave. The
Hon. William J, Stone was supposed
to be pursuing the same object in his
mysterious peregrinations. But the
practical politicians of the Missouri
democracy forgot David Ball of Pike
What happened because of Mr.. Ball
is best described in the words of the
tale which disguised Missouri demo-
crat poured into the sympathizing
ears of Secretary Edwards of the DEM
ocratic congressional committee in
Washington on Wednesday. Here is
his description of the catastrophe:
"Dave Ball of Pike, has certainly
spilled the fat in the fire. 1t was not
in the cards at all 10 have an indorse-
ment Of 16 to l. The leaders desired
to have the heaven-born ratio kept in
the background, as the democrats did
in Georgia and Illinois. The idea was
to keep our long-horns out of sight, SO
as not to scare the gold democrats of
the east.
"But along comes this Dave Ball,
rOmping into the convention with a
Pike county war whoop. and rallies all
the free silver lOng-hOrnS to rouSing
declaration for Is to 1. We never
have any luck. There must always be
some fellow lying around in the tall
grass, who comes out at the most in
opportune moment, waving his SOM
brero and tapping his hands until he
stampedes the whole drove.'

The state board of health is seeking
to impress upon all householders the
necessity of airing cellars at this time.
The coplons- rainfall of the summer
renders this precaution more than
usually imperative. In some cases it
may be. necessary to keep fire in the
cellars for a short times to dry the
walls; in Others, opening the windows
SO as to provide thorough ventilation
will be sufficient.

Three girls and a man from Plym-

overland route. They undoubtedly
came here for good time, for two of

and in that condition made disgust

a scientific and philosophic basis for the

cRANBoRNE's STATEMENT.
China Did Ask Good Offices Of the
United States.

Washington, July 16.-It Is said at the
State Department that the statement by
Lord Cranborne in the House of Com
mons yesterday in regard to the evacua-
ton of Tientsin to the effect that the
British government was not aware that
the Chinese government had asked the
good offices of the government of the
United States in the matter, and that no
proposition had been made to England
in that regard. is entirely accurate.
There is, however, in this no conflict in
fact with the statement previously made.
for, though the Chinese government did
so appeal to the United States govern
ment, the only reason why Great Britain
was not Immediately asked on the subject
when the other powers were being
approached was that the department pre-
viously had satisfactory assurances from
London on the point. The facts are that
the Chinese authorities July l requent-
ed that Minister WI Would kindly
ask the Government of the United
States, which has pursued just course
from the beginning to the end and main
tanned an attitude of great fairness. 70
consult at once the other powers with a
view OF causing instructions to be sent
to their representatives in China for a
speedy transfer OF authority without any
more delay"
This request was repeated July s, The
action taken by the United States in pur-
suance of this request resulted in the as
certainment of the fact that all the prin-
cinal mowers concerned were in harmony
in regard to the question of evacuation

gested by the military authorities IN ITEM

The disaster was the result of an ex-
plosion occasloned by John Burady, a
miner, going into one magazine of the
Dafy-West with a lighted candle. His
act cost him his life and the lives of
many more other miners besides. His
own body was blown to pieces. All the
other victims are recognizable.
The Explosion Terrific.
The explosion occurred at 11:2 O'Clock
last night and in a twinkling deadly gases
were being created through the mine.
In a short space of time scores of miners
found themselves face to face with death
IL Ia not known how much powder was
was Il went of In a terrific conclusion.
The shock was something terrific and
was heard for a long way although 1t
was nearly o'clock before 1t became
known in Park City, a distance OF two
miles.
That the loss Of life was not far greater
than II was 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 machinery would permit.
The victims had to be brought up the
shaft in a onescompartment cage. one OF
the compartments having been wrecked
by the explosion.
In the Ontario which is connected with
the Daily West six men are dead. Two OF
the dead are rescuers, John Mclaughlin
and John Eckstrom. The body of the lat

THE FIRE STILL RACES
OIL WELL BuRNING IN JEN-
NINdS, La.
A High Wall viii Be Built Around
the Blazing Gusher and the
Enclosure Flooded with
Water.

New Orleans, July 16-The Picayune's
Jennings. La, special says:
The situation at the oil field at this
hour is practically the same. No progress
has been made in conquering the flames
and If anything they are getting stronger.
The continuous flames for the past thirty
six hours are showing on the valve and
pipe for the opening is growing larger.
The entire day has been passed in ad-
vancing new ideas and passing on them
and absolutely nothing has been accom-
pIished. Late this evening the chemical
engine that arrived from Beaumont last
night was tried and did not even quench
the fires in the small streams that extend
from the pool At 8 o'clock four boilers
had been connected and as many streams
were turned on the fire. The only ap-
parent effect of these streams was in
causing the fire to burn fiercer.
The latest plan devised is to build a
wall several feet high around and as
near the fire as the workmen can stand
and a force of twenty-five men are now
at work. The steam pipes are then to be
turned into this levee to flood the surplus
oil out through a ditch that Is being cug.
By this beans they hope to reduce a
greater portion of the fire and contne 1t
strictly to the well.
A carload of chemicals has been ordered
and is now on the way and by this they
expect to conquer the flames.
Owing to the peculiar formation or the
we'll the difficulty in conquering 1t is
greater than would otherwise he. The
well has never been completely finished A
four inch pipe is set in a six inch casirg
and between the two the oil Is escaping.
The experts who came from Beaumont
are unable to advance any ideas, for this
fire is an entirely new feature in the his
tory of oil field fires. The remaining per
ton Of the field is idle. The onlN com
pany now at work is the Pelica company,
nearly a quarter of a mile to the NTH
and entirely out of danger.
The chemical engine has just arrived In
the city and will be shipped home tCn'Ght,

STRIKE IN RICHMOND.
Practically All Of the Street Cars
Have Ceased Burning.

Richmond, We, July 16.-Richmond' s
first big street railway etrike lie on. Prac-
tically no cars are running and all kinds
of vehicles have been put into use.
A committee representing the local
street car mems unions, after two con-
ferences this morning with President Sit
terding of the Virginia Passenger and
Power Company. which now owns the
whole Richmond system, ordered the
crews to take cars to the barns at noon

OUT
END OF LABOR TROUBLES IN
CHICAGO.
Termination an Unqualified Victory
for the Railroads-Cost to the
Business Men Put at
$4,000, 900.

Chicago, July 16.-After ten days Of
strife. the Chicago freight handlers strike
terminated this day in an unqualified VIC
tory for the railroads.
Renewed activity on the part Of Chi
cago business men, followed the settle
ment of the strike and at the close of
business hours here tonight thousands OF
tons of freight had been sent to and from
the various freight depots. Every one of
the $4,000 strikers who could obtain en-
ployment had returned to work by 3
o'clock in the afternoon. The strike, 1t
is estimated. cost the business men of
Chicago $40, o0o 900 and in order to guard
against such a contingency in the future,
they are preparing to inaugurate an edu-
cational campaign in opposition to the
sympathetic, strikes.
The labor unions will be asked to fore
go the use of this potent weapon. The
business interests which suffered through
the strike will join in pledging themselves.
it is said. not to sign union agreements
which do not guarantee them against
these strikes.
On the other hand, the labor unions are
fighting to secure the right to abrogate
agreements for the purpose of ordering
sympathetic strikes. The freight hand
lers blame the national officers of the
teamsters for the loss Of the strike. They
declare the strike shows the necessity for
Incorporating in all agreements reser-
walton which will permit strikes.
Credit for the settlement rests with the
State Board of Arbitration. 1t was the
adoption of the suggestions by that board
which led to the action of the freight
handlers union in declaring the struggle
with the railroads at an end. AT the
same time. 1t is probable that even had
the State Board not made its suggestions
the fight would have been practically
over tomorrow. as the majority OF the
freight handlers had returned to their
work before the mass meeting, at which
the strike was called off officially had
convened. 1t was a knowledge of this
fact that had much to do with the action
taken by the union. However. the propo-
sition made by the State Board of Arbi-
tratIon enabled the freight handlers to
retire gracefully FROM the field and pre-
vented any hard feelings resulting from
the struggle.
