SEIE4 D1S.ASTER IN Labor ONIONS
Ina discussion of the antitrust
bill ard the proposed department
of commerce in New York Monday,
James J. Hill, president of the
Northern Securities company, is
credited with having said:
.4As labor unions killed indus
trial England, 80 are they des-
tined to bring about a grave
tinapcial reverse in the United
States, and the country is swift
ly approaching that crisis. It
may come in a year; it may be
deferred till the presidential
year but it is bound to come"
M. Hill flatly denied, but depre-
catingly, that, as the average per-
son Believes, the United States is
the leading manufacturing nation
and israpldly gathering to it's bos-
ON the markets of the entire world.
This misapprehension, he averred,

Of Fire at No. 8 Shaft.
TEN OTHERS NARROWLY ESCAPE

TEN OTHERS NARROWLY ESCAPE
As tn. result of disastrous fire
at shaft No. 3 of the Spruce mine at
Eveleth, property of the United
States Steel corporation, Wednes-
day, two men met death and ten
others who we're caught under
ground at the time were rescued
only through quick and effective
work.
The origin of the fire is not def
nitely known, but is ascribed to the
leaving of a lighted candle by some
miner in the underground oil house.
When the fire was noted and the
alarm given eleven miners and the
pumpman on the second level, over
one hundred feet under ground,
were pinned in by the flames, two
of whom, NJ. O'Brien, the pumpman,
and William Matthew'S, a Finnish
miner, were found dead when as
sistance arrived, from the effect of
steam. gas and smoke which closed
the only means of ventilation to the
imprisoned men.
VIM. Matthews, the dead miner,
was married man, NJ. O'Brien, the
other victim of the flames, being
single. The latter wasa member of
Virginia Aerie No. 1O7, F. o. E., un-
der the auspices of which order the
funeral ceremonies will be held
from their Aerie in Hawkinson Hall
at 200 p. m. on Sunday.
The damage to the property as a
result of the confagration will be
great, and will deter work at the
shaft for time. To the mine man
agement and to the brave firemen
who worked so strenuously in their
work of rescue is accorded great
cfeol ~

OPPOSES TIMBER AND STORE xEpEA,

W. H. Smallwood, a prominent
Duluth land attorney, opposes the
proposed repeal of the timber and
stone act,his reasons being succinct-
ly stated as follows:
"The result will be that the timber
of the state will pass more than
ever into the hands of the big deal
ers. When you repeal the stone and
timber law there is nothing left in
the state of Minnesota but the home
stead law and scrip. Minnesota has
no desert land to come under that
act, and the only way for a man to
secure vacant government land will
be by means of the homestead act,
and as the clause providing for
commutation at the end of fourteen
months is likely to be repealed also
if the stone and timber act goes.
there is no way for a poor man to
get timber land but by five years.
residence in the backwoods.
"That will mean that scrip will
become more valuable and will be-
come practically the only means of
securing government timber lands.
Men who cannot afford to deal in
scrip will be unable to secure tim
Der lands and the big dealers will
tighten their grip on the pine s1tu-
alton. The stone and timb Der law is
the law benefitting the middle class,
that class of people who cannot af-
ford to deal in scrip and who can
not spare the time nor have the dis
position to go into the backwoods
to live for five long years. They
talk of making more forest reserves.
but that only means more scrip for
the wealthy lumbermen to buy.
"This agitation for repeal is
chiefly the result of the work of the
special land agents. They feel that
they must find frauds in order to
hold their positions. But they are
killing the goose tha laid the gold.
en- egg, for it the stone and timber
law is repealed on account of the
frauds they will all find themselves
out of job
III the government repeals the
stone and timber law it will punish
hundreds of innocent and we'll.
meaning small investors in order to
prevent a few dishonest parties from
continuing their fraudulent prac.
tices."

Mystery Cleared Up.

WASHINGTON, April 1s.-A myste- rious absence of nearly a year and a half has been solved by the police when body found floating in the Pc tomac river near Marshall Hall, sum- mer resort about sixteen miles from Washington, was identified as that of Captain T. w. Lord, retired, who dis appeared on Dec. 20, 1901. Consider ing the long time the body had been in the water, it was in remarkable state of preservation. Captain Lord wore an artificial leg, and this was found anchored between two of the piles forming the sea wall short dis tance from where the body was found.

IRELAND WILL BE HAPPY.

End of the Land War, Says Nation
 aIiSt Leader.
 DUBLIN, April 1S.--The Irish na- tional convention concluded last even ing. In two days it got through large amount of controversial work and emerged, to quote T. F. O'Connor, 1tscathless and honored from test which the whole world was watching. It was not only shaping the destinies of Ireland, but 1t held in it's hand the fate of the powerful British ministry"
 John Redmond, replying to an enthu- siastic vote of thanks for his chair n1anship, declared that the convention was credit in every particular to Ire land. In a statement MT. Redmond makes the important announcement that the amendments adopted by the convention will be accepted at the joint conference at which Lord Dunraven, Lord Mayo, Captain Shawe-Taylor, John Redmond, William O'Brien and T. W. Russell will meet. This practi- cally insures the. passage oS the Irish land bill. The delegates returned to their homes lest night in a happy. frame of mind echoing John Redmonds parting words, May the God of our fathers once again visit this land with the peace and plenty that are her due!"'
 John Redmond made the following statement regarding the conventions work
 "The convention was the most impor- tant Nationalist assembly held in Ire land during the last hundred years. If it's recommendations be substantially carried out by the government, the land question will be settled, and the whole future of Ireland will be full of hope. The conventions recommendations will be supported by the members of the land conference, and they will be pre- sented to the government as the de mands of both landlords and tenants.
 T congratulate the whole Irish race at home and abroad on this most magntfi- cent result of the labors, sacrifices and sufferings of the men who have con- ducted the Irish national movement in the past few years and who, I hope, will live to see the triumph of their principles. This blessed situation is largely due to the magnificent support we have received from the Irish in America and American public opinion RnueraIlvo

The Democrat leads; let others who dare try to follow. The affidavit printed in the Democrat last Tuesday was, up to that time, the only sworn statement of circulation ever made in Waterbury, we believe. It shows pretty conclusively that the Democrats circulation is all there, and that as we'll as inviting advertisers and others to visit our press room, we were willing to go one step further. We honestly believe the Democrat has the largest circulation in Waterbury of any paper printed in Waterbury. It is gen uine legitimate circulation, too, not that obtained by the giving away of presents, free subscriptions or schemes of any kind. No book offers, no schol- arships, nor no free trials were used to bolster up our circulation. The circu- lation has been obtained by steady azld continued growth, which naturally fol lows when a publisher gets out the ktnd of paper that the people want.

The proposal has not yet been heard from since it went to con- mittee.

The business of the, srailroad com panies has increased so rapidly the past year or two that the managers are put to severe tests to accommo- date everybody, both as regards the number of cars and their capacity. For this Veason business men and others that have much freight, and allow 1t to stand in the cars on side tracks, are asked to get it out of the way quicker, and to this end the Con- solidated road asks a change in the present demurrage law. Speaking on this question the Hartford Times says: s'The legislation asked by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company in this state rela- tive to the demurrage on freight cars is in accord with common sense and should be, granted. In these hustling times Connecticut merchants and manufacturers should be able to load and unload their freight in two days, and if they keep cars standing for a longer period at the railway stations they and not the railroad company, should bear the cost of the delay"

The president and his retinue of clerks, stenographers, newspaper men, telegraphers, etc, are guests of the railroad companies over whose vari- ous lines they are carried in this su- perlatively luxurious style during the present ttlnketing trip, says Wash ington correspondent. They enjoy the 'hospitalities' of the railroads, for if there were any arrangement for reduced fares it would be a fragrant violation of the interstate commerce act and the recently enacted Elkins law. What do the people of the country think of the propriety of the president of the United States accept ing this ''deadhead" favor at the hands of the railroads when they are going to the congress and to the ad- miAiAtration almost every day and asking favors? That is question for the people to answer. This "deadhead" trip is i'll striking contrast to another special train that will leave the city of Chicago next fall. That special train will carry a delegation of congressman and their wives for trip through the territories of Okla homa, New Mexico, Indian Territory and Arizona, ill order that the mem bers thus carried might see for them selves the country and the people ill those territories that were denied statehood by the republican party. The entire expense of this trip, train, mileage and everything, will be paid out of the pocket of that public-spir- ited democrat, William Randolph Hearst. ... t..

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1s.-AttorU ney Charles Heggerty, who is identified with the litigation connected with the Fair estate, stamps as absurd and un- true the grewsome story to the effect that the skulls of MT. and Mrs. Charles Fair, who met death In an automobile accident in France, were removed by decapitation to be used as evidence against the claims of the Nelson fami- ly. MT. Heggerty says that the ac- counts given of the alleged decapita- tions are canards and that the opera ton mentioned was never undertaken or even contemplated.

 CONsTANTINOPLE, April 18.-The members of the special mission sent by the sultan to pacify the Albanians, it is now announced, are practically impris- oned at Ipek, Albania, where they are surrounded by several hundred Al baniaus, whose chiefs refuse to accept the proposed reforms and demand the appointment of an Albanian governor, adding that otherwise they will con- tinue the revolt.
 The Austrian and Russian ambassa- dors are urging the sultan to adopt en- ergetic measures to suppress the Al banians, but his majesty is averse to coercion, as he relies on the Albanians to help him in the event of further com plications.
