 0F UNION MINERS
Details of the Tragedy at Wells,
 Nevada, on Wednesday.

Wells. New, January S.-Adiitio2al details were received here tonight re- garding the tragedy enacted at the Keystone mine yesterday when twelve union miners attacked Superintendent TIaylor for the alleged purpose of run ming him out of town and which result ed in the death or wounding o; several miners participating.
 Since a branch of the Western Fed eration of miners was organized few weeks ago at Ely the miners are said to have taken a decisive stand in labor matters. the particular object of at ! tack being the New York and Nevada company Superintendent John A. | Iraylor. whose home is in Denver and , who was formerly connected with the 1 Fernando Mining company Of Duran : go. Mex. had been notified several times that he had better leave the | camp presumably because he had re- 1 gently ordered a reduction in his em-
 ployes' wages. Telegrams were sent ! U New York, it is said. threatening to flood the mines and take other stern measures unless the superintendent was removed.
 Yesterday morning a delegation call
 ed at Traylor's home at Ely and pre- sented an ultimatum to be signed and agreed to within twelve hours. Tray ! Tor immediately took buggy and
 started for the mines few miles west of Ely On arriving at Lane City four miles away he was halted by mob or
 miners who after some talk allowed
 him to proceed. Traylor then proceed [ ed to Keystone.
 President Lloyd of the Miners union, it is charged, sent committee of min CTS into the office to order Traylor to come out and surrender, finally going in himself and directing matters. Tray Ter talked with Lloyd some time calling attention to the fact that twelve hours were allowed in the ultimatum
 had not expired. Lloyd said that had nothing to do with the case. that he another matter to settle ans that Tray
 Tor must sign a new scale of wages at once. The committee then asked him to go along quietly or they would be compelled to take him dead or alive Traylor endeavored to argue with the
 men but Lloyd ordered him seized. Ter
 of the men started for Traylor who
 grabbed his gun and commenced shoot
 ing.
 At the first shot the miners made Q
 dash for the door. The men that were shot were those who had grabbed
 Traylor and were trying to overpowei
 him. The names are:
 JAMES SLAGGS.
 | SAM JOHNSON.
 | J.. SMITH.
 } The names of the wounded men arc , not given.

Washington, JanUray S.-Representa- tives of the American Beet Sugar asso- citation met today in annual session at the Arlington hotel this city. During the day before the members of the as sociation held informal conferences, but when they entered formally upon their meeting at 3 o'clock no Conclus- ions as to what action would be -aken mad been reached. The principal sub feet of consideration was the attitude the association would assume toward the Cuban reciprocity treaty now pend ing in the senate.
 H. T. Oxnard. president of the asso- citation informed President Roosevelt q few days ago that SO far as he was personally concerned he would with draw whatever objection he had to the Cuban treaty. He believes that this view will be taken by the asslciatio although he did not undertake to pledge the association not to oppose the treaty.
 When the representatives of the as sociation met here today some objec- ton was developed to taking any ac- ton favorable to the treaty. During the informal conferences in the early
 part Of the day a majority of the larg- CT beet sugar growers and manufac- turers expressed themselves favorable
 10 any action that would bring about st2biTity in the industry. It was point
 e7 out that the treaty would insure ror five years specific tariff rates with
 Cuba on sugar, but some representa-
 tives said they were not so certain that
 the treaty in fact would accomplish that result. If they could be assured
 Of that they said they were willing tc
 withdraw any opposition they might
 have to it. At the first session of the association the matter was discussed al length, the arguments at times becom- ing decidedly spirited
 No conclusion had been reached when the association took a recess unti 8 o'clock tonight. Subsequently MT OXnard and other members Of the asso- citation had a conference at MT. OK nard apartments with Secretary Will son Of the agricultural department | Before the conference with Mir. Wilson Senator Burrows Of Michigan discussed the question thoroughly with some ot l the beet sugar representatives of his state.
 The associa ton at its session tonight passed resolutions withdrawing theil | opposition to the Cuban reciprocity but | recommending that the treaty be s, l amended as to express ln precise Ian.

Washington, January S.-Today the senate again discussed the Vest resolu- tion requesting the finance committee 10 report a bill removing the duty on anthracite coal and MT. AlI-ich replied to some criticisms of Mir. Vest made last Tuesday. MT. Aldrich insisted that the resolution would not accomplish the result sought and that it infringed upon the constitutional rights of the house in respect to revenue bills. MT. Ald- rich said that a democratic senate Vot- cd to put duty of forty-fve cents on coal in 1894 and that it favored free coal except upon the day when it could have voted for free coal in the tariff LII.
 Mir. Vest in reply said that the forty cent duty on coal was the result of a "nlld-up" by few democratic gen- atoGs. To confirm his asse! ton that MT. Dingley had made the statemer that the Dingley rate was placed high in order to negotiate reciprocity treat is, Ir. Vest read from a letter ad- dressed 10 him by the editor of the Philadelphia Bulletin in which the writer declared that Mr. DinSley made the statement 10 one of his Washingt91 spondents. MT. Hale expr, ssed his disbelief in the statement and feelinsly referred 10 Mir. DingIcy's services e his state and country and paid high tribute to his character.

How Men Fall When Shot.

Nearly every one is familiar with
the traditional stage fall, where the
victim of a supposed death shot
strikes an attitude, clasps his hands
TO his heart, stlfens every joint and
muscle, breathes Historically and
goes down like log toppled over
from the end. Another popular, yet
erroneous, notion is that men shot
through the vitals leap into the air
and go down in a dramatic attitude.
Sometimes men are found on the
field in striking positions, but often
an examination shows that the posi-
ton was taken after the fall.
AS a rule man who is hit above
the hips sinks down. The slighter
the wound the more commotion, for
the body instinctively resists, just
as it does when one slips or is
pushed or collides with some object.
But wound in vital spot weakens
the resistance and men sink at once
or reel and tumble with very little
self-control.

the Henry Draper fund of the National
academy, principal $4,000, available
for investigation in astronomical sub
jects by citizens of the United States;
! the Advancement of Astronomical
Science fund of the Harvard college
observatory, with a principal of $780,
| 600, of which 100000 is now avail
able, the income to be used by as
! tronomers of any country in pursuit of
any important astronomical work
These endowments, together with
! the great sums at the disposal of the
trustees of the Carnegie institution
and the unexpended balances of the
varioCs research funds of the National
academy, make it improbable that any
really worthy investigation needing
not more than few hundred dollars
for its execution need fail for want
of money.
But Investigations on a larger scale
and more numerous will be made pos
sible, Professor Pickering believes,
only by the creation of very large
/ trust such as he has in mind, man
aged by central board of directors.
Creation of such a fund would start
astronomers at once on several re-
searches that are imperatively calling
for attention. Among the great en-
| terprises which Professor Pickering
| personally would like to see started.
directly the project is realized. the
| following may serve as an example:
There might, he says, be a northern
Photographic durchmsterung, or com
| plete chart of the northern heavens,
which Professor Pickering regards as
a real necessity of astronomy today

ought to be considered, the observa-
tory of Georgetown college, at Wash

the sum of $4,000 were Immediately
available il would insure the purchase
of 12-inch telescope with the aid of
which the catalogue and charts of var
liable stars, already compiled for
northern regions by Father Hagen,
could be extended to the south pole.
In brief, the whole plan is for an in
stitution that will advance the inter-
ests of astronomy under the com
bined advice of the leading astronom-
ers of the world Professor Picker
ling, however, is convinced that 1t
would be for the distinct advantage of
the new institution to have it's funds
invested in the name Of the president
