FATALITY AT DERRICK

REDDING. April 24.-Three men
were killed soon after noon yester
day by a powder explosion in the
chloride mine near Dedrick, Trinity
county. They were Fred Linden. Joe
WILDER and an unknown man. 1t is
supposed the explosion was caused by
Fred Linden dropping a box of giant
powder. He and his working partner,
Joe WILDER. were instantly killed.
Two mem, members of a rescue par
ty, were overcome by gas generated
by the explosion. Their comrades fol-
lowing after saw them lying on the
bottom of a stope and carried them
to the surface One of these two died
soon after, but the second was still
alive when the messenger was dis
patched to Weaverville for a doctor.
The chloride mine is the richest
quartz mine in Trinity county. 1t
EMPLOYS 200 men. The effect of the
terrible blast of fifty pounds of giant
powder may prove disastrous to the
workings.

Nevada State Band

At one time the Nevada State Band
was the best known musical organi-
zation on the Pacific Coast. 1t is
proposes to make ii so again, says
the Carson News.
At a recent meeting to determine
what hte members desired to do with
regard to the future. the older mem
bers feeling that they had given their
services long enough and deserved a
rest, were of the opinion that the
band should be disorganized; but sew
eral citizens demonstrated. setting
forth as an argument that the band
was more or less of a town insti-
tuition in which all were interested,
and as a result of two or three pow
vows, all agreed to start in once more
and endeavor to revive the interest.
Playing in a band is a mighty
smart thing and an interesting one
for the first year, but after that it is
hard work, pure and simple.
At the meeting referred to it was
decided to re-employ Professor A. l..
Smith as director, and contracts for
the ensuing year have been executed.

WANT TO .ARBITRATE.

PORTLAND, Ore, April 24.-Dele-
cations from the painters and carpen-
ters' unions called at the Mayors Of
fee today to discuss the matter of ar
bitration with him. Afterwards the
Mayor said he considered 1t likely that
arbitration might be arranged. 1t is
known that the main difficulty lies in
getting the employers to consent TO
the plan.
The number of carpenters now on
strike or locked out is in the neighbor-
hood of 400. OF these fully $50 have
been thrown out Of employment
through action of the millmen in re-
fusing to supply lumber until the
strike is settled. The carpenters are
negotiating for the purchase OF an
outside mill. and declare they VIII
supply all friendly contractors with
lumber from this source in a few DAYS.
The millmen declare this cannot be
done.

Northwestern Star Oil company at the
foot of Sixth avenue. about 1880 this
morning.
The explosion came without an in
stants warning and a second after the
conclusion the walls had been thrown
down and the entire structure was a
mass of flames.
Not a person in the Office escaped
alive. Five workmen engaged on the
second floor were thrown twenty feet
into the air. and these were the only
persons who escaped.
They climbed through the debris
and are now confined at the city hos
pital.
Although the cause of the explosion
has not been determined, it is said
some of the employees of the company
were empting some oil tank cars into
the tanks in the basement of the
building and it is possible that sparks
from a switch engine ignited the in
fammable fluids. All the fire depart
ment could do was to permit the
flames to burn themselves out and
then search for the bodies of the
dead.

was brought about by the same
treatment administered at the hos
pital in Winnemucca. DIR. D'Amours
states that all the smallpox patients
are doing as well as could be expect
ed. He, being the quarantine officer
at Golconda, has charge of all the
contagious diseases there.
Rex Chagnon met with a painful ac-
cident yesterday afternoon, which will
lay his up for some time to come. He
was working with the force of tel
egraph linemen employed at present
near Stone House, and had buckled on
the climbers" and mounted a pole
which was being set into place, when
the pole shifted it's position suddenly
and in such a manner as to throw
Mr.. Chagnon around it. His foot was
held by the climber, and as result
the femur of the right leg was broken.
He at once released the climber, and
with a rare display of grit, embraced
the pole and slid to the ground. The
accident occurred just about an hour
before No 3's time at Stone House
and Rex was placed on board and
brought to Winnemueca. where DR..
Samuel sset the broken limb. The
young man was then taken to the
Central, and is resting as easily as
could be expected today.

RUSSIA AFTER

Makes Demand on China for
Exclusive SOver-

THE RUMORS EXCITE JAPAN

THE RUMORS EXCITE JAPAN

PEKING, April Prussia has de-
manded that China sign an agreement
practically ceding to her the sover-
eighty of Manchuria and excluding
other nations from the country. The
Russian charge d'affaires, M. Plan
con, has informed Prince Ching, pres
ident of the Foreign Office, that no
further steps in the evacuation of
Manchuria will be taken until this
agreement is signed.
Prince Ching refused the Russian
terms, but his refusal probably pleases
Russia as well as his acceptance would
have done. because either alternative
means the REIMBURSEMENT of Chinese
sovereignty in Manchuria.
The Russian demands are as fol-
lows First. no more Manchurian
ports or towns are to be opened: see
ond, no more foreign Consuls are to be
admitted into Manchuria; third, no
foreigners except Russians are to be
employed in the public service at Man
churia; fourth. the present status of
the administration of Manchuria is to
remain unchanged; fifth the custom
receipts at the port of Newchwang
are to be given to the Russo Chinese
bank; sixth. a sanitary commission is
to be organized under Russian CON
troll; seventh, Russia is entitled to at
tach the telegraph wires and poles of
all Chinese lines in Manchuria. and,
eighth. no territory in Manchuria is
to be alienated to any other power.
Three Japanese warships have been
ordered to Newchwang. Marquis Ito
has held a secret conference with the
leading Japanese statesmen. The Rus
sian demands for privileges in Man
churia have excited the Japenese
press, which insists on vigorous ac-
tion, confident that the United States,
as well as Great Britain. will sup
port Japan.

activity going on in a mining way in
that section, although the fault does
not lie with the mine owners. There
is shortage of piping and absolutely
no timber to be obtained for fluming

IN THE LEGISLATURE.
Senate.

The Generally Assembly adjourns
next Saturday and up to date, only
lhirty.fve acts have been ratified.
About five hundred bills have been in
troduced, but the most Of these have
been local measurers.
The only new law Of any importance
and of great interest is the child labor
law.
The proposed change in the road law
il now beibg discussed in the senate
and also the bill requiring ten year
convicts to be sentenced 70 the chain
gang IL o measure which has passed
the House and is now being discussed
In the Senate.
The refusal of Senator Blake's
amendment to inrease the penalty Of
delinquent payments to five per cen.
tum and also the refusal to extend the
time for the payment Of taxes with out
penalty, show that the people wish to
thoroughly test the law OF 1902 before
changing any Of its provisions.
There are . number Of minor mat
ters which will be put aside when the
supply and appropriation bills are
taken up. AS this Ii the last week,
there is work ahead for all, In order
that everything may be accomplished.
HOUSE.
There are very few bills on the cal
endor of the House Of general impOr.
tance, the three appropriation bills
having been passed last week. Before
the last of the week quite number Of
important matters will come up for
discussion.
The compulsory education bill was
killed last week and the bill providing
two additional judicial circuits was
carried over to next session. The bill
10 prohibit shad fishing, after much
discussion, was passed as also the dog
tax bill, which puts the small tax of
50 cents per capita on dogs.
This law is very mild and tends
TO rid the country Of the worthless
cur.
Some of the bills on the calendar for
the week are Mr.. Pollock's resurrect.
ed dispeDsary bill, Mr.. Wingo's joint
resolution proposing constitutional
amendment to permit special legisla-
ton on certain questions, biennial ses-
sions joint resolution, the marriage
license bills, st. Louis Exposition bill !,

Columbia. Feb. 1.-THE House OF
Representatives Thursday passed, by
unanimous vote. Mr.. Moses bill to
appropriate $50. 900 toward the erec.
tion of an equestrian statue to the
memory Of Wade Hampton. The
appropriation becomes available when
$40. 900 additional shall have been
raised by subscription. A large part
OF this voluntary fund Is now in hand
The statue Is to be located on the
State capitol grounds, perhaps In
front of the capitol, and will, 1t II
thought, be patterned after the statue
Of General Lee In Richmond. Al.
though the State has just passed
through q trying time financially on
account OF appropriations for exposi
tons. general elections, ETC., this ap
preparation meets the approval Of the
entire State. The Senate will ac
favorably on the bill.
