Explosions in Illinois Mines Cannot
Be Accounted For.

Pontiac, ILL.,, March 17.-Three o
terrific explosions occurred at Cardiff
mines last night and today, following
that of last Thursday. The nature
OF the explosions remains a mystery.
Six miners were in the mine last night
cleaning up the wreckage of Thurs
days explosion, when the first Of the
last series of explosions occurred.
Men were sen below at once to their
aid and recovered William Humphrey
alive, but terribly injured. The dead
bodies of two other Bohemians were
also recovered, but three of the party
are still buried in the mines. At 8
o'clock another, the most terrific e.
plosion Of all, occurred, blowing out
the top of the shaft and wrecking the
top works. Chief Mechanic Michaels
was at the mouth of the pit and was
so seriously injured that he died three
hours later. Another explosion took
place at 3 O'Clock this afternoon, but
with no fatalities. The state mine
inspector is at the mine, but is un-
able to give an explanation Of the dis
aster. The mine will be flooded.

property of the Clarke Fork Fuel COM
pany has been purchased at sheriff's
sale by Frederick H. Davis, an Omaha

TREATY IS RATIFIED

he insisted was undue haste. He re-
ferred to the enormous expenditure
that would be required to construct
the canal and charged recklessness
in rushing into such an enterprise as
he declared was being done.
After Senator Daniel had closed
several other senators on both sides
of the chamber addressed the senate
in 15-minute speeches for and against
the treaty. Among those who spoke
against ii was Senator Morgan, who
devoted himself to the question OF the
necessity for adequate defense OF the
canal, which he said could be assured
only by the United States. He as
serted that senators were, not thinking
fer themselves, but were following
blindly in the lead of the secretary OF
state. Indeed, he declared, senator's
were practically surrendering their
own Offices in order to maintain a
reputation for party allegiance.
Senator Platt of Connecticut, was
also among the speakers. He was
one of the very few senators to an
nounce his entire satisfaction with
the treaty. He referred to the fact
that a number of republican senators
had said that if they had had the max
ing of the treaty they would have
! changed some features of it and de-
clared that he considered the treaty
the best that could have been made,
and said that so far as he was con-
cerned he would not have changed 1t
in any respect. He criticised the DEM
ocratic senators for using undue mi
nuteness in the efforts to find defects
in the agreement. When, at 4:45
o'clock it became. apparent that the
15-minute speeches had been conclud-
ed, Senator Morgan surprised the sem
ate by refraining from presenting any
more individual amendments and by
presenting all of the so which he had
prepared in one block, submitting
them, with a portion of the text of
the treaty which he had not changed,
as a substitute for the whole agree
ment. He did not demand a roll call
and the substitute was voted down,
viva voce, almost unanimously.

Washington, March 17.-Without
dotting an 81" or crossing a ST. or
without changing a single punctuation
mark the senate today voted to ratlty
the treaty with the republic of Colon
bia. The vote for ratification was 73
il, the affirmative to five in the mega
tive.
The day was given up almost en-
tirely to general debate on the
treaty, and in addition to the set
speeches. made under the agreement
by Senators Morgan and Cullom, there
were many short addresses and a rath-
er long speech by Senator Daniel of
Virginia.
The only party vote of the day was
taken on the substitute for article 4,
which was agreed upon by the demo-
cratic caucus and had reference to
| the acquisition of territory in Central
and South America by the United
| States. There were a number OF
speeches on this amendment, but it
was voted down, the ballot footing up
81 ayes and % noes.
When the senate adjourned at Z
o'clock there was a general belief that
the business of the senate would be
completed in time to permit final ad-
journment tomorrow. Some, however,
placed the date "a hours later.
Immediately after the doors were
closed the Panama canal treaty was
laid before the senate. There was
again a good attendance of senators
in anticipation of the final vote on the
treaty. The proceedings opened with
a speech by Senator Morgan, devoted
especially to the question of the de-
tense of the canal. He criticised
sharply the action of the senate in re
fusing yesterday to so amend the
treaty as to insure American control.
When Mr.. Morgan concluded Sen
ator. Money offered a substitute for
the fourth article of the treaty. which
disavows any intention on the part OF
the United States to increase its ter
ritory in South or Central America

SEVERE ATTACK OF GRIP
Cured by One Bottle of c~hamberIain's
Cough Remedy.

when | had an attack of the grip
last winter (the second one) l &C
tually cured myself with one bottle
of C~hamberlain's Cough Remedy
says Frank w. Perry, editor Of the
Enterprise, Sh%ortsville, N. Y. "This
is the honest truth. 1. at times kept
from coughing myself to pieces by
taking a teaspoonful of this remedy,
and when the coughing spell would
come on at night would take a
dose and it seemed that in the brief
est interval the cough would pass
eff and would go to sleep perfectly
from cough and it's accompanying
pains. To say that the remedy acted
as a most agreeable surprise is put
ting it very mildly. I had no idea
that it would or could knock out the
grip, simply because never
tried it for such a purpose, but it did,
and it seemed with the second at
tack of coughing the remedy caused
it to not only be of less duration, but
the pains were far less severe. and

was agreed upon by the democratic
caucus and without mentioning South
or Central America it reiterates the
American doctrine OF ncn-interfcrence
with the affairs of all the American
republics with the view of reassuring
Mexico on that point and pledges this
country to attempt no acquisition of
Colombian territory.
This is one of the amendments upon
which the democrats agreed to act
as a unit, >and consideration of it was
begun early in the day with the view
of concentrating most of the debate
upon it.
Speeches were made in support OF
the Money amendments by Senators
Bacon. Teller, Daniel, Morgan, Bailey
and others. They contended for an i'm
, partial recognition of all American re-
publics, urging that under the Ian
guage of the fourth article of the
treaty Mexico would be left as the
only American republic to which the
avowal of non-encroachment could be
held as nonapplicable.
Senators Spooner and Hoar replied,
contending that there was practically
.no difference between the language OF
the amendment and that of the arti-
Gle as it stands.
Senator Moneys amendment was
defeated, 81 to 81. a strict party vote.
Senator Daniel then offered an amend
ment providing that the treaty should
not take effect when proposed by con-
gress. Mr.. Daniel spoke in advocacy
of this provision.
The fact soon developed that Sen
ator Daniel had offered his amend
ment for the purpose of making a
general speech upon the treaty and
when the Is minutes allowed to him
for his speech on his w amend
ment had expired and the amendment
was voted down, Senator Morgan pre-
sented four or five of his amendments,
which we're each in turn defeated, but
upon all of which Senator Daniel con-
tinued to speak. All told, he spoke
for about an hour. His speech was

HERRERA BESTS CLIFFORD

Butte, March 17.-Aurelio Herrera
last night knocked out Jack Clifford
y tho ninth round of what was sched-
uled to be a 20-round bout. The end I
came near the close of the ninth,
when the Mexican, with a terrific
right hand punch to the jaw, sent the
Butte boy down and out.
The Mexican's defense was practi-
cally perfect, and not once afforded
an opening for a good blow.
Clifford Rushes.
Clifford opened the fight by rushing
the Mexican and endeavoring to bat
ter down his guard. During the open
ing round Herrera probably did not
strike Clifford six times. In the Sec
ond and third rounds Clifford grew
more cautious after the Mexican had
landed several blows on Clifford's
jaw. In the fourth round the Mexican
with a left jab on the jaw, sent Cliff
ford against the ropes. Herrera fol
lowed up his advantage by sending a
hard blow to Clifford's body. Clifford
appeared in distress at the end of this
round.
Herrera Gets Busy.
In the fifth, sixth and seventh
rounds Herrera did all Of the leading,
Clifford remaining on the defensive.
Clifford one time tried to break Her
rera's guard by westling with him and
received a blow on the jaw that made
him wobble. In the latter part of
the seventh Herrera mixed it with
Clifford and the end was then in
sight. The Mexican played for ythe
Butte mans jaw and in the mixups
played a tattoo on it. The eighth
round was a continuance of the tao
tics employed in the seventh, Her.
rera leading and Clifford remaining on
the defensive. During this round the
Mexican jabbed his left into Clifford's
face four times, sending him to the
profusely when the gong sounded, and
he appeared winded and weak.
The Final Round.
With the opening of the ninth round
Herrera went after his man with the
intention of finishing the fight. Cliff
ford retreated about the ring, with the
Mexican following. Herrera was fore
ing the fighting. going fercely for
Clifford. He landed twice on Clifford's
jaw, and followed it with a vicious
uppercut that made Clifford groggy.
With a, terrific punch on the jaw Cliff
ford went to the floor like a shot. At
the count of nine he made a heroic
effort and regained his feet, only IN
60 down again before another rig
punch to the jaw for the final couI
of ten.
Herrera weighed in at 127R pounds
and Clifford at 1924.
About 1000 people witnessed the
fight.
