The Modern.
 From letters received by the stock holders of the Modern Copper Mining company, it would appear that that company has been totally reorganized and mean business from the start.
 The new organization is made up of substantial business men Of the East. principally of New York, and the plan of the new management is to prose cute development work to an issue. With the splendid returns which have rewarded the labors of thef ormer pro- motors of the Modern, nothing but success can be predicted for the new plan which isb acked by unlimited capital.

For two years, 1900 and 1ooI, there was an almost total failure of crop of the best red pepper. Schilling's Best got all that canue to United States. Another is redder; not nearly SO fine, not nearly so hot. Schilling's Best has always been that one best sort, what ever it's cost-we'd rather lose money a year or two of short crop.

CAUGHT BY FLAMES
Thrilling Adventure of
Firemen. One Buried
in Burning Building.
(By the Associated Press.)

New York, Dec. 21-The famous two
Mines fire alarm summoning more fire
apparatus than any other alarm provided
for by New York's fire department, was
sounded tonight for a terrific fire which
destroyed the six-story factory building
Of the Herman furniture and plumbing
cabinet works in Mott street, and The
four-story varnsh factory of the firm, run
under the name of the H. Hermann Lum-
Der Company quarter of million dol
lars damage was done. Battalion Chief
Marine Coleman is believed to have per-
ished in the fall Of the two great walls
of the factory. There was a panic among
the italian inmates of the street and
the tenement3 opposite and in the rear
Of the burning buildings and the firemsn
and police reserves from three precincts
had the utmost difficulty in getting the
people out to the street.
The fire started on the third 1oor and
when the firemen arrived the first, second
and third floors were IN a blaze. The
third, fourth and fifth alarms were sent
in in rapid succession, and about an hour
after the fire started the tive mines"
alarm was sounded
Battalion Chief Coleman had entered
the building with number of men, in
Guiding Lieutenant Jones and Father
Smith, the fire department chaplain
They were about twenty-five feet inside
when the fire came through the walls
and the building shook. The firemen saw
the danger and dashed for the outside.
The captain escaped, but beam fell and
hit Coleman and Jones, pinning them to
the floor.
Father Smith and three firemen turned
back TO the rescue and dragged out
Jones, who had managed to stagger to
his feet Jones in pulling himself out felt
for Coleman. He found him so plnloned
he could not rescue him, but got mis- he'll
met. which he put on and escaped. With
in a minute the entire rear and side walls
fell
After the building had been totally de-
stroyed the body Of Chief Coleman was
found wedged under fallen debris IN such
O position that the firemen were unable
to reach it, Coleman was made battal-
ion chief last August. He won the Ben
nett medal for bravery eight years ago
for rescuing two women from house
fire in East Tenth street.
Richard Joyce, fireman who was ap-
pointed only ten days ago, was reported
missing after the fire was out. He was
last seen in the building just before the
walls fell.

Ali Quiet at This Point.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press.)
Panama, Dec. 21.-There is no truth in
the report that Americans have been
given twenty-four hours to leave
the Darien district. There are less than
a score of Americans in the entire dis
trict and practically all of them are To-
Gated at Cana, where they are engaged
in mining Cana is about three days
inland from Yaviza. The presence OF
Colombians at Titumati and the discov.
cry of few men about Cana, supposed
to be Colombian spies, decided the min
ners to withdraw, which they did, pass
ing through Yaviza On the way out.
Nothing has occurred recently to indi-
cate that the Colombians are moving to-
wards the isthmus and the situation is
distinctly quiet. The naval authorities
have decided that there is no need to send
reinforcements. The detachment of ma
rines at Yaviza is engaged in scouting the
entire district and so far it has not re-
ported the presence of Colombian troops
Orders have been given to the COM
manders of the gunboats in the San Mi
guel gulf and TO the two outposts to keep
a careful watch for Colombian troops, to
avoid contact or the opening Of hostili-
ties with them, as far as possible. and to
inform the flagship Immediately Of their
presence.

Russia Will Give Nothing.
(By the Associated Press.)

Berlni Dee. 21.-War in the Far East
probable for several weeks, for the reason
that Japan will continue to negotiate, and
Russia's policy is understood to be sim
Div to "sit tight and hold on" to make
no specific promises concerning the terri
tories in dispute and meet an attack, II
Japan will be satisfied with nothing else.
Russia will let nothing go. Japan must
he content with that, or fight. This atti-
tude it is believed, is approved by the
Car, who is not willing that Russia
should take the aggressive. The Cars
advisers are convinced that Great Britain
will not be involved.
London, Dec 21.-Business on the Stock
Exchange today opened fiat on the Far
Eastern situation. japanese fell half a
point, consols went down three-eighths,
and Russian stocks declined half point.
Japanese Russian war risks at Lloyds
today roe to 80 guineas per cent. to the

found difficulty in effecting insurance,
even at the latter rate.
st. Petersburg, Dec. 21.-Officials OF the
foreign office do not share the pessmistic
feeling regarding the situation in the Far
East. which now seems to be general.
They say there is no reason to despair OF
a peaceful settlement of the difficulties
over which Russia and Japan are at vari-
ance.

(By the Associated Press. }

New York, Dec. 21.-When Frank Hen
ry Burmese, a ships cook, was placed on
trial in Brooklyn today for the murder
of Captain George B. Townsend, the skip
per of the lumber schooner, Charles
Buckley, on November 10th. the prisoner
admitted his guilt, and a written confess
sion was submitted in which he declared

and with premeditation, because the lat
ter owed him money, and that he desired
to facilitate the trial because he preferred
to be executed rather than remain IN
prison.

prisoner had previously killed three men.
For shooting a man in Charleston, Mass.
he said he had served three years in pris-
on; that he had served term in Ha-
vana for killing teamster and that he
had killed a man named Henry Hecker, on

THROUGH RATES CASE SETTLED
The Seaboard. Coast Line and Other
Roads Reach Agreement.
(By the Associated Press.

Macon, Ca. Dee. 21.-In the case of
the Interstate Commerce Commission
against the Louisville and Nashville, Flor
ida, Central and Peninsular. and the Sa-
vannah FLORIDA and Western road involv-
ing a rule for contempt against officials
of the Louisville and Nashville, the Sea
board and the Atlantic Coast Line, Pres
ident Smith Superintendent Denham and
Superintendent Hale, respectively, were
before Judge Speer in the United States
Court today. The railroads claimed that
they were advised by counsel and believ-
cd that the decree did not require them
to continue 90 operate through rates from
Pensacola and Atlantic stations to Savan-
nah and that they could fully comply with
the courts decree by withdrawing their
through rates and arrangements even
through from some of the stations the
total rates charged by combining the To-
Gals Of the separate roads might exceed
the through rates which had been found
by the court to be unlawful. Therefore
the railroads withdrew their through
rates and they pointed out that in much
of the traffic involved the sum of the
local rates was less than the through
rates. They further stated, however. that
very recently it had been ascertained that
through inadventure the local agents of
the railroads had not been properly in
structed and hence had continued in many
instances to charge rates equal TO the
through rates which had been condemn
ed. 1t was further stated on behalf of
the railroads that negotiations looking
to establishing through rates in accord
ance with the decree had been in progress
for some time before the contempt pro-
ceedngs were instituted and that such ne
gotiatons were still pending.
The judge then suggested that a recess
would be taken to see if the railroad Off
Gals present could complete those nego-
tiations and after the recess it was an
nounced that agreement had been reach
cd and that through rates il accordance
with the decree would be made effective
by January 1st.

A PapaI Bed of Procrustes.
(By the Associated Press. }

Rome, Dec 21.-Tonight's Osservator
Romano, the Vatican organ, publishes an
important document signed by the Pope,
on the action of the Catholic lalty, which
is said to be rendered necessary by the
proceedings of the recent Catholic con-
gress at Bologna, which showed such op-
posite tendencies of the Cathohc Conser-
vatives and the Catolic democrats.
The document quotes nlnetee nartlcles
and rules taken from the encychcals of
the late Pope Leo on the subject or IN
structions to congregations, the follow
ing the most important:
christian democrats must entirely alb
stain in Italy from participating IN any
political action which, in the present cir
cumstances and for reasons OF a very
high order, are interdicted.'
Thus the Pope destroys all hope enter
tanned by the liberal element IN the Cath
Ollie party that they would be allowed to
participate in the political life of the
country.
Other important rulesc mentioned are
for the direction of Catholic writer's who
must abstain from anticipating the views
Of the Holy See on leading subjects They
must submit all writing concerning rell-
gion, Christin morals and natural ethics
to the censorship of their bishops, and
they are constrained to do tins even IN
| the case of publications on mere technl-
cal subjects. In the case OF differences
OF opinion among Catholics, instead OF
making these differences public In the
newspapers they must submit them to
the ecclesiastical authorities, who will
pass on them.
These rules have greatly dampencd the
enthusiasm of those who hoped that the
present pontifcate would be more liberal
than the last one.

SEVEN BOILERS EXPLODE.
and the Power House Wrecked.
(By the Associated Press.)


st. Louis, Mo-, Dec 21.-Seven boilers
in the power house of the st. Louis Tran
sit Company exploded tonight, killing
three employees, injuring six and wrecking
the building. The explosion broke window
panes several blocks away. The brick
walls of the boiler house were thrown
outward and the heavy truss roof, after
being thrown high in the air, dropped di-
rectly over the debris, imprisonlng TWEEN
ty employees. All the electric lights went
out and darkness prevented prompt work
in rescuing the injured, whose cries could
be plainly heard. Fire broke out in one
portion of the debris, but was eXtingulsh-
ed before it gained much Roadway.

All but Wilson were stokers and boiler

1t is. thought probable that the list of
dead may be heightened. The cause OF
the explosion is not known. Several
street car lines were brought to a stand
still for a time for lack of power, but
other power houses were hastily connected
and the cars were soon put in operation.
