It would seem as though the trusts, rather than the government of the United States. were shaping our policy in the Philippine Islands. Despite all the appeals made by the president and Governor Taft, congress did nothing towards relieving the economic distress prevailing in those islands. It passed neither currency nor tariff legislation of the kind asked for, by the conner cial classes of the islands. It has pre- ferred to obey the wishes of the to- bacco and sugar trusts rather than comply with those of the suffering millions of people, This republican congress has been guilty of gross negli- gence of duty by not passing legislation in the interest of the people of those islands. They are compelled to rely on our good will and charity, and have the right to demand help of some kind from us. By thus refusing to do any thing for the Filipinos this republican congress has put a premium on disor- der and instruction, and 1t would not be at all surprising if the American army in the Philippines finds itself, be- fore long, buster than it has been for some time. The policy of imperialism is bringing tits own reward.

"A number of the leaders of the democratic party who still are in Wash ington are discussing the letter of Will liam Randolph Heart to the Iroquois club of Chicago, and which appeared recently in the daily papers. It is a letter expressing his regret at his ina bilfty to be present at their annual banquet to- dooreverence to the mem ory of Andrew Jackson, and in it he breathes forth the very spirit and es- sence of true democracy. It is a mes- sage of optimism and hope to the true democrats of the whole country, and in every way is such an able paper that it has caught the attention of the lead CTS of the party here,'' says Wash ington correspondent, "who mention it in the most complimentary way. There are few persons who, not knowing MT Hearst, actually think that because he has money he does no work him. self, and that the articles signed by himself are written by some of the bright men in his employ. There never was a greater mistake made by them. The writer knows MT Hearst personal ly, and knows that he is an abler man than any man in his employ, and does more actual work than any of them"

Great Experiment at Ann Arbor.

With the object of discovering acure for typhoid fever a remarkable ex- pertinent is being conducted at Ann Arbor university, Michigan. Six big tanks have been constructed, with a layer of gelatine, and on these IA square feet of the fever germs are grown at time. These living germs are scraped off, killed and bottled up. Two ounces of them would kill 7O,OO0 guinea pigs. The object is, if possible, to extract the poison from the germ bodies, feed animals with it and try to discover an antidote. Medical J our- nal a..

STRIKE THREATENED
Unless Contractors Surrender Fifty Thousand Workmen Will Quit.

New York, April 2o.-Unless the con- tractors surrender before Friday morn ing, 5000 laborers employed on the sub way and in the excavations for buildings In Greater New York. will lay down their picks and shovels.
 At a meeting of the Contraotors' Pro- teotive Association last night no decision was reached and 1t was said that anoth- CT meeting would not be held before May 1. the limit of time set by the workmen for an answer to their ultimatum.
 More than 90 per cent of the men em- ployed are Italians and few of them can speak English. The contractors say that they were introduced into this country under the Padrone system.
 The laborers demand uniform pay for all workmen. They receive at present from l5O to $2.50 a day, according to their skill and the location of the work, the higher sum being paid for work in the lower part of Manhattan The men demand g a day for earth work and S2sO a day for rock work.
 The contractors say that under the scale the men demand they would have to pay men who had never seen pick what they are now paying experienced men. The contractors demand the right to pay the laborers according to their skill.
 The laborers also want day of eight hours. This the contractors refuse to grant. It would be impossible to carry out their contracts, they say. If they agreed to an eight hour day.

DUE TO ROCK SLIDE.
Most Plausible Explanation of the Frank Holocaust.

Most Plausible Explanation of the Frank Holocaust.
 Vancouver. B. C.. April 2s.-Informa- tion from Frank later this evening is somewhat more reassuring than earlier danger than was at first anticipated by an extensive disaster. The threatened flood seems less probable. A large force of men has been at work trying to cre- ate new channel so that the damned up
 water of the Old Man River may run of.
 The men will work throughout the night, and 1t Is hoped that the water will be running through the new channel before
 morning.
 Most of the men imprisoned in the
 mine. whose death at first seemed cer-
 tain, got out alive later this afternoon. There were seventeen men in the mine.
 Two died from suffocation, but the other fifteen worked their way out uninjured.
 after cutting their way through thirty feet of debris. One of the men who es-
 capped went home after emerging from the mine and found his house deserted and his wife and six children dead. There is now plenty of air in the mine
 and the inside workings are intact A special from Frank at D. m. estimates the total number of dead at ninety-five. The latest theory as to the cause of
 the disaster is that it was due to a rock
 slide which carried the top of Turtle Mountain down on the village It is now thought that what was supposed to be the smoke of a volcano was dust and that the continued fall of small bits of
 rock during the day was merely the af- termath of tho original rockslide. A rep
 etition of the calamity is now considered unlikely.

system. An air blast is employed by MT. Edison in his solution of the problem to separate the gold from the mass The system. 1t is claimed, has now reached a working basis. Experiments on the desert near Santa Fe by Floyd M. Chapman. one of Mir. Edison's assistants have enabled Mir. Edison and Mr. Chap man to produce machine which they declare will reclaim 5s per cent of the gold from the gravel.
 In hydraulic mining. it was thought re- markabie if 75 per cent of the gold was washed out.
 One man. 1t is claimed, can run scores of separators. The gravel is first dug out of the ground with steam shovel; conveyors then carry 1t to selves that separate 1t into particles of uniform size. Each separator is designed to handle gravel of certain size, and the gravel is automatically distributed to the hopper of its proper machine. The gravel falls through a narrow slit before a rotary blower which drives full blast of air against the falling gravel. The gold be- ing heavier. falls to the bottom of the machine, but all of the lighter gravel and sand, is blown Into a separate compart- naent.

OFFICERS 4 ACCUSED.
Alleged That They Were Recipients
 ], of Rribas.

Victoria, B. C.. April 29.-The steamer Oanfa, from the Orient. was at Kobe when the great review, held in the Elm perors honor, took place. There were five long lines of battleships and cruisers, all handsomely decorated by flags. The Japanese squadron numbered forty-seven battleships and cruisers and twenty three torpedo boats, and about dozen foreign warships were present. This fleet was reviewed by the Emperor from the cruiser Asama. The emperor's message to the fleet .extolled the progress of the navy and urged renewed efforts. A grand ball was held at night, and when the emperor retired to his villa at Mako the fleet con- centrated there. forty-one vessels being brilliantly illuminated.
 Two Japanese papers publish stories to the effect that the American officers sent over to watch the construction of the Manila gunboats, built for the United States by the Urguay Dock Company, were bribed and passed work which re- suited in structural defects in the first gunboat. The Niroku Shimpo says that defects in the construction of the first gunboat were reported by Japanese of ficers who took her to Manila. and as result the four gunboats now on the stocks are being reconstructed at a heavy loss to the builders. The Japan Mall discredits the story of the bribery.
 A copy of the Singapore Straits Times received by the oanfa says two Chinese. one of whom Is believed to be Rang Yu We the noted reform leader. have been arrested at Darje Fling charged with con- spiracy against China and have been or dered deported to China. Kobe papers report that a young Japanese recently dashed into a burning school to save the emperor's portrait and was found, burn ed to death, by firemen with the portrait in his hands.

WHAT THE EARL GETS.
HfN Income from the Thaw Estate
 Will Be Functional"

Pittsburg. Pa, April 2s.--The following communication to the Associated Press by, Mrs. William Thaw, mother of the Countess of Yarmouth. explains itself:
 '.There is one line of romance--to call 1t by no harsher term--iargely indulged in by newspapers. which the Associated Press is asked to correct. The particular instance now referred to Is that of the settlement in connection with the mar riage of the Earl of Yarmouth. Briefly the facts are .hese:
 2 ''Miss Thaw. now the Countess of Tar mouth, at the death of her father. was left Gas were each of his five children by his second rnarriase) with an inde- pendent fortune of nearly a half million dollars Haif of this amount was imme- iiately put into trust for each child. the income only to be, available during. their lifetime.
 Part of the remaining half of the for ture of each of the children consists or oYie-tenth share in the William Thaw coke trust which is tied tip absolutely and irreyocably save as to income, What .is known as the free estate of. Miss Thaw. amounting to about one-half of the whole estate. has been by consent oi herself and Lord Yarmouth, formed Into a third trust to be managed by the FL delity Title and Trust Company of Pitts burg together with one individual trus- tee.
 ''The income from all three trusts will be paid to the Countess of Yarmouth. except a small complementary fractional income (nothing like what at various times has been stated) which she. with out suggestion from the other side, ai- lotted to the Earl himself.
 ''Iu case of her death. 1t Is arranged that the income of about one-ffth of her total estate will be paid over to, or invested for the benefit of, the title and estate of Hertford. to which, should he outllve his father, the Earl will succeed
 These the communication continues are the plain. unvarnished facts. given through the Associated Press by Mrs. Thaw herself At no time has there been any hitch whatever because of financial questions; neither has there been any de- mand by the Earl or his family. The whole was arranged by Miss Thaw and her immediate family, as proper recog- milton of the position the Earl and his Countess will occupy
 Mrs. Thaw adds the following com ment:
 "The whole discussion by the newspa- pers has been simply feeling about in the dark. Not one item of information has been given out heretofore by anyone. The freedom with which cyphers are thrown about by printers is typical of the aRe."

MOUNTAIN RENT BY
 A MYSTERIg'sJS FORCE
More Than a Hundred PersOw Filled, Many Being Buried Beneath Millions of Tons
 of Rocks.

Seattle, Wash, April 2s.-A special to The Times from Vancouver says: By an unexpected and unprecedented disaster, the little town of Frank, All berta. has been plunged into mourning. There are at least 140 dead and fur ther details may increase the number of victims. The majority of the killed are
 women and children.
 About { o'clock this morning, after the
 night force was preparing to come from
 work, either an earthquake or vol canic eruption occurred on the top oi Rtuele Mountain. which overlooks the ous upheaval which awoke all sleepers who believed that the end of the world had come.
 The entire side of the mountain was removed by the disturbance and millions of tons of rock were scattered like chaf over the town. The mine buildings and mine entrances were buried under pilt of debris hundreds of .eet deep. Nine houses in the village are buried under the rock Their roofs were crushed like eggshells and every one inside the houses perished. All the men working at the mine or outside jobs were instantly killed. It is supposed that 12O men were thus killed altnOugH Ine eXdCt HufIDeT is uol hHoWh 1T The records of .he office and the pay rol are buried under the immense pile oi rock.
 The men numbered in the shaft prob. ably numbered twenty-eight or thirty These are now imprisoned by the debris and they are undoubtedly doomed Il will take days to dig down through ths pile of rock and 1t will be impossible tc
 rescue them.
 It is no. likely that even their dead l bodies will be recovered for two or three weeks. No attempt to compile list of the dead has been made. Ths people of the towr are panic-stricken as the mountain i! still scattering rock and no one know: how soon the disaster may be duplicated The uninjured inhabitants are divided | between desire to stay and bury th' dead and an impulse 70 seek place oi safety before they are overwhelmed by greater calamity.

 Reached This Morning.

Frankfort, Ky, April 29.-The case of James Howard, twice tried and convicted as Q principal in the murder of William Goebel, was submitted to the jury again this afternoon at the conclusion of ths argument in the third trial.
 Judge Cantrill gave the jurors very strict orders as to the secrecy they should maintain during their consideration of the case and adjourned court to convene at g o'clock tomorrow morning when a verdict is expected.
 The morning session of the court was taken up by the speeches of Attorney Violett and Scott for the defense. In clos ing for the State this afternoon, Common' wealth's Attorney Franklin occupied about three hours. He administered a merciless excoriation of the defendant and at one point in his speech dramatically exhibited to the jury the bloodstained clothing which Governor Goebel wore when he was shot by the assassin.

FRAUD IN MARRIAGE.
It is Ground for Annullment, Says
 the Court.


 Albany, N. Y., April 29.-An important case involving the validity of marriages obtained by fraud has just been decided in the Court of Appeals in the case of Gregorio Biloronzo, appellant, against Johanna Dileronzo.
 It appears that the parties had been living together without marriage and that after an absence of the man in Philadelphia for some months, the wo- man produced a child and, representing it as her own. born during his absence she induced him to marry her. He sub ,sequently discovered that the child was hers and brought action for annullment on the ground of fraud. A jury In New York city. where the parties lived, gave him the verdict and the marriage was ordered annulled.
 The woman appealed and the judg- ment was reversed by the appellate di- vision. The Court of Appeals again re- versed, sustaining the order of annull- ment. Judge Gray, writing the unani- nous opinion of the court, said:
 ''The statutes of this State declare that marriage. so far as it's validity in law Is concerned, is a civil contract to which the consent of parties capable of con- tracting. is essential. While the mar riage relation in it's legal aspect has no peculiar sanctity, as a social institution, a due regard for it's consequences, and for the orderly constitution of society has caused it to be regulated by laws, in its conduct as in its dissolution. Tho free and full consent which Is the sense of all ordinary contracts Is made by the statute necessary to it's validity. The minds of the parties must meet in one intention. The plaintiff in this case has a right to rely lnon tha fefanda nf' q statement of a fact the truth of which was known to her and unknown to him, and he was under no obligations to verify statemet to the truth of which she had pledged herself. It was a gross fraud and upon reason, as upon author ity, 1t afforded sufficient ground for the annullment thus obtained"

There Is. however, no explanation for the con tinued upheaval of rock. The eruptive influences seem to center right at the crown of Turtle Mountain.
 At { o'clock this afternoon the. follow ing conservative estimate of the loss of life was made:
