little hope OF any men in the mine being
found alive.
The general impression among old
miners Is that every man in the mine
died with the fash Of the explosion ex-
cepting Gonl NJ. McQuaide, foreman OF
the Freeport mine. located further up the
river said there was no use risking more
lives In sending rescuing parties. He was
sure that no one was alive In the mine.
and that until the mine had been thor
oughly ventilated there would be danger
to any rescujng parties who might enter.
CAUSED BY FIRE DAMP.
Fire damp caused the men to lose their
lives. "As TO the cause do not care
TO make any statement at this hour"
G.. w. Sheets, general manager. issued
this statement at the same hour: I'VE
need experienced men at once, No mat
ter where they come from or how much
bills. Under the wreckage in the mine
are bodies OF perhaps q hundred men.
Many may be dead, but there is chance
of some being alive. The first thing Is
to clear away the wreckage."
A DOUBLE EXPLOSION.
The explosion seems to have been q
double one, making one long continuous
rumble, and the second blast was heard
rolling back under the hills towards the
south OF the mine. which contains by far
the largest part OF the workings. 1t is
the opinion of the majority OF the ex-
perts that the explosion was caused by
some miner striking a match to light his
pipe, which set Off the heavy charge OF
gas that was always present In the mine.
Another theory Of the explosion Is that
IL was caused by a heavy blast in the
mine. whereby a new pocket OF gas was
struck and ignited. There are still others
who insist that the gaseous substance
was set of by broken safety lamp In
the hands OF one OF the miners. IT was
the opinion OF the rescuers that the real
cause will never be known.

DOMESTIC TRADE MOVEMENTS

Department of Commerce and Labor
Presents Some Interesting Stats
tics.
Washington, May 12.--Dom,,stic trade
movements for the first quarter of the
current year. as reported to the depart
ment of commerce and labor thru its
bureau of statistics. make favorable
comparison with preceding years on
the subject of live stock receipts at
western markets and lumber move
ments in the south and on The Pacific
coast. In all branches of trade depend
ent on river and lake navigs ton there
was a much lighter movement than in
1908. owing to the later opering Of the
season of navigation.
Live stock receipts at five markets,
to the end of March. amounted to S,S44,-
713 head, compared with 7,603,901 head
in 1903 and 8,031, 00S head in 1902 The
strength of the feeder movement, in
Guiding those shipped and driven to the
country, at Kansas City and st. Jo-
seph combined, was materially greater
than in either 1902 or 1903. among spe-
cial movements, the sheep trade at Om-
aha has made exceptional progress in
contrast with former seasons. Ship
inents of horses at st. Louis reflect the
extraordinary increase of demand, at
tributed mainly to the expansion of
the farming area. which naturally re-
suits from continued high prices OF
such products as grain and cotton.
Receipts of wheat at eight primary
markets for the crop years to the end
of March totaled 1876. 400. l27 bushels
thus far this year. in cor trast with
213,37S,834 bushels last year and 49,
51S.925 bushels for the preceding year.
Totals reported from eleven primary
kinds as 160,02s,0 97 bushels for the first
quarter of 1904. Last veal. the corre-
spending total was 159,037,712 bushels.
Lateness in the opening of thru nav
igation on the lakes Is responsible for
the lighter tonnage for the first three
months of this year The total freight
receipts were 502,017 net tons, COM
pared with S10,96S tons in 1903, and
614,S1S tons in 1902. The month of
March closed with any indications OF
early opening by way of either the
Straits of Mackinaw or the Sault Ste.
Marie canals. Navigation between San
dusky and Kelleys Island in Lake
Erie was conducted during practically
the whole of March, and some of the
lake packet lines began operation along
Lake Erie shores before the close OF
the month. Besides lateness of seas
on, the absence of a definite under
standing between vessel owners and
seamen on the lakes has deferred prep
arations for the opening of naviga-
ton. st9E

more struck by the involuntary cry Of
surprise which rose from some one in

excitement in It. Identifying the
person who had uttered 1t az a certain
busy little woman well known In town,
I sent an officer to watch her; then re-
called my attention to the point the
coroner was attempting to make. He
had forced Mr.. Jeffrey to recognize the
ribbon as the one which had fastened
the pistol to his wife's arm. Now he
asked whether. in his opinion, wom-
an could tie such bow to her own
