DISASTER WAS A FREAK.
The Comment of Mine Inspector
Who Visited the Shaft.

CONNELLSVILLE, Pa, Nov. 22.-Mine
Inspector Bernard j. Callagan, of the
Ninth bituminous district, went to the mine
Immediately upon being notified of the ex-
plosion, and as soon as practicable, made
an inspection. He concluded his work to-
day, and when asked his opinion regarding
the cause of the disaster said:
1.-THE explosion in the Ferguson mines
was little less than freak of nature and
was caused by fall crushing the old stop
ings between the Hill Farm mines and the
Ferguson mines. The miners were pulling
the pillars for the stopingS, and instead of
the fall filling in completely and shutting
off any future danger of fire from Hill
Farm mine, which has been burning since
the explosion there in 1890, bend tun-
mel was left between the roof and the fall.
The solid cemented stopings were crushed
and the gas that accumulated in this bend
was ignited by the fire from the old work
ings.
1.-THE last inspection, made on Oct 2,
showed 81 900 cubic feet of air to the minute
at the fans and $1,000 at the bottom of the
slope, supply that L considered ample
and above the average. At the time OF the
explosion there was absolutely no sign of
gas, and with the precaution that had been
previously taken to avoid possible danger
from gas explosion there seemed to be no
danger, and little concern was felt by the
men employed in the mine.
mo blame can possibly be attached to
the employees of the mine nor the mine in
Spectors, as every precautiOn had been
taken to avoid an accident.

Formation of n Cartel Works Hard-
ship to Needle Artisans.

VIENNA. Nov. 22.-Much indignation is
expressed here over the steadily increas-
ing price of oil. Since the formation of
the Austro-Hungarian petroleum cartel
prices have been advanced 80 per cent, with
the prospect that they will go still higher
as soon as the present stocks become ex-
hausted. The advance infiicts the greatest
hardship on the poorer classes, especially
on the thousands OF tailors and dress
makers who work I'm their own homes.
The local authorities of the several dis
tricts have taken the matter up and are
urging the City Council TO use every means
to break up the oil monopoly. There is
however. not the slightest prospect that
these efforts will be successful The cartel
has completed its organization, the only
matter remaining still unsettled relating
to the export trade. Both the Standard
Oil Company and the tDeutsche Bank are
continuing their efforts 10 come to an
agreement with the cartel regarding the
German market, but a strong section of
the Austrian refiners wish the cartel to
remain independent of both parties.

NO CANADIAN LIVESTOCK
Likely 10 BE Exhibited at the Worlds
Fair at ST Louis.

OTTAWA. Ont, Nov. Pit is understood
here thai the officials of the st. Louis ex-
position are unwilling to meet representa-
tives of the live stock interests of Canada
until the latter decide whether they will
exhibit at st. Louis.
This attitude Is hardly likely to bring
about any change of front on the part of
the breeders and stockmen of Canada. In
fact the aikelihood is they will issue an ulti-
matum refusing to send stock to St Louis
unless there Is a decided modification of the
regulations under which Canadian animals
are admitted into the United States as well
rs OF tn, conditions upon which the prize
lists are based. Breeders in Canada freely
express zhe opinion that those engaged in
similar PURSUITS in the United States are
afraid of Canadian competition. This fear,
they say. is based on the success which
Canadian live stock exhibits achieved at the
expositiQns at Philadelphia, Chicago and
Buffalo.
