CARNEGIE is OFF ON
ANOTHER TRIP ABROAD.

New York, April 25.-Just before
leaving for Europe to-day Andrew Car
negie said, respecting his gift of $780,
900 to Tuskegee Institute:
Booker T. Washington is doing a
great work for humanity and for his
race. His race has more than ordinary
disadvantages to overcome, and he is
leading them toward a settlement of
their troubles through lifting them by
education. The race problem will be
settled, believe, by education, and IN
such a way as Washington is now di-
recting that policy"
Mr. Carnegie, it is said, admitted to
a friend that he had other requests for
money which probably he would have
time to consider on his way across. 1t
was limited that other gifts might soon
be made public, but of this Mr.. Car
negie would say nothing.
Mr.. Carnegie not only contemplates a
visit to his estate, Skibo Castle, Scot
land, but, it is said, he will visit Nor
way on a yacht and make an extended
cruise to many ports for his health.

EXPLOSION IN A MINE
Caused Death of Four Men and Seri-
Gus Injury of Third.


Glaze Bay, April PA gas explo-
sion brought death to four men and
probably fatal injuries to another in
the Reserve colliery to-day, while fire
damp overcame a score or more of
men who are now in st. Johns Hos
pital. The dead are:
Michael S. McNeal, miner; Henry
Jackson, loader; Joseph King, helper,
and William King, driver
Probably fatally injured: Whilsway
miner.
The explosion took place in the
French slope of Reserve mine. Some
gas had accumulated in the level, but
had been partially removed. On this
level it is customary to work with
naked lights. To-day the five men
were at work when the gas ignited
from a lamp, and the explosion fol-
lowed.
Whilsway was found alive, but he is
frightfully burned. A rescue party
went into the mine and brought out
the bodies. The work is dangerous
owing to the firedamp. and a large
number of men suffered in consequence.
There is no sign of fire in the mine,
and work will be resumed as soon as
It. is cleared of gas.

FRIARs IN PHILIPPINES.
Subject of Conference Between
Root and "a Chaplain.


Washington, April 24.-Secretary
Root and Rev. ]. e. Vattman, chaplain
of the Twenty-ninth Infantry, had an
important conference to-day relating
to the friar question in the Philippines
and to the attitude of the Catholic
Church toward the "Americanizing" Of
the islands.
Chaplain Vattman was directed more
than a year ago by the authorities of
the Catholic Church in the United
States to make a thorough investiga-
ton of church questions in the Philip
pines and to report the result of his
conclusions to the Catholic hierarchy.
This report he submitted to the arch
bishops at their annual meeting. The
report covered exclusively all phases
of the Catholic Church questions in
the Philippines, including the friar
question and the result of what is
popularity known as the "Aglipay move
ment."
Chaplain Vattmann reported that
while he does not incite open rebellion,
Aglipay and his followers are not only
opposing the authority of the Roman
church in the islands, but also are OPP
posing insidiously and effectively the
establishment of American rule in the
Philippines.
A wide divergence of opinion devel-
oped in the discussion of the report
by the Archbishops who heard it, BY
some it was urged that the Aglipay
movement and all other controverted
church questions could be met best by
the placing of Catholic seminaries in
the Philippines under the control of
American priests. By others it was
maintained that it would be wiser to
bring bright, capable and Jealous ma
tive students to the United States for
training. No conclusion was reached

ger trains in and out of the Illinois
Central Union Station.

pendicitis.
Mr.. Lawrence recently leased the
Isle of Palms. Yesterday afternoon he

follows an operation of the kind and
that he is doing as well as could be ex-
pected under the circumstances.

Illinois House of Representatives
Has So Voted.
Springfield. H., April 24.-The Illi-
nois House of Representatives to-day,
by vote of 70 to so, declared mo
confidence in it's presiding officer,
Speaker John Fl. Miller, whose alleged
unwarranted use of the gavel in fur
tnering a proposed enactment affect
ing rich street railway franchises in
Chicag go, led to a riot yesterday.
"A committee of five, all personal fol-
lowers of the Speaker, had been ap-
pointed by him to investigate the
charges of attempted bribery, in con-
nectiOn with the passage of the Muel-
Ter traction bill. There was a strong
feeling among the anti-Miller legisla-
tors that there was a possibility of a
whftewash, and the committee was en-
larged. A subpoena was issued for
George w. Human of Chicago. 1t Is
the intention of the House to interro-
gate him regarding the facts upon
which an editorial in the Inter-Ocean
of Chicago alleging bribery in connec-
ton with the Mueller bill was based.

Back.

tary Root, to-day sent a formal letter
to Gen. Funston, denying the latter's

the charges, Secretary Root is of opin-
ion public interests will not be sub
served by further investigation.

BOND FOR COSTS.
Smith Gives One for His Appeal to the
Supreme Court.

Two instruments went on record
last Thursday afternoon which assist
in making history for John G. Smith,
in Jail for contempt of court in con-
nection with the 81, 600 verdict in
favor of Fred Hauert, for alternating
the affections of Mrs. Hauert.
The first was declaration of
homestead. the tract in question
being the east half of the southeast
quarter of section 6, Vail,
and the second instrument
was mortgage on this tract
given by Smith to Thos. j Sloan and
F. V. Stanek, both of Seaforth.
1t appears that E. E. Harriott, at
torney for Smith, has finally con-
Guided to appeal from the order
committing Smith to Jail for con-
tempt of Judge Weber S court, and
in order to do this it became neces-
sary for Smith to give bonds for the
costs of the appeal. In order to Sc
cure the bond it became necessary
for Smith to indemnify the bonds
men, in case he loses on appeal, and
to do this Messrs. Sloan and Stanek
took the mortgage and went on
Smiths bond.
In the meantime Smith languishes
in Jail, and promises to remain there
until after the supreme court passes
on the case, and probably even
longer, in case that court does not
reverse Judge Weber. There is
no limit set to the time for keeping
Smith in Jail.
At times Smith imagines that he
is sick, and DR.. Belt is called in to
tell him to the contrary. Then he
feels as though he wants to get out
side and cut the grass, but the
sheriff instructions are very strict
regarding the confinement of the
prisoner, and that part of the
dreamy program is cut out. In
other words, Smith is kept busy
doing nothing.
