| Each Was the victim In n street Ohk
Fare Transaction.
II was In a Boston street car. Wher
the car stopped at a crossing, a lady
got up and went to the door. AS she
rose there was the chink Of coin on
the floor, but before II occurred tr any
one to stop her she was out Of the car
and across the street. Two ladies who
had sat next to her looked with anx'
ious indifference oD the floor One OF
them leaned slightly forward, but said
nothing. Just as the conductor was
reaching for the bell rope a young man
spied the coin and dashed out Of the
car. He caught the lady who had left
the car. handed her the coin. ran back,
caught the step OF the car as the mo-
tors began to sing In crescendo and sat
down breathless. One of the two ladies'
opposite him leaned forward and said
coldly, Young man, what did you do
with the nickel droppedT The pas
sengers Uttered. An old man at the
other end OF the car turned to his
neighbor. "That reminds me-" he said,
"of something that happened to my

London. Feb. 2.-One Of the high
est Japanese officials in London, who
has been intimately acquainted with
every possible detail Of the Russo
Japanese negotiations up to the pres
ent. made the following statement
last night:
Il am convinced that the delay in
sending Russia's reply is not for the
purpose Of enabling the Russian gov
ernment to make further preparations
for war but that Count Lamsdorff is
honestly trying to bring the matter
in dispute TO an amicable settlement.
The delay clearly means that a final
struggle is going on between the
peace and war parties in Russia. l

believe, the peace party will triumph
The crux Of the whole matter is Rus
sia's assurances regarding Chinese
sovereignty over Manchuria. On 9th.
er points Japan may agree to certain
notifications, but unless Russia gives
an assurance binding and in writing,
Manchuria, Japan will
break off the negotiations and adopt
to safeguard her interests.
Japan is sincerely anxious for
peace, notwithstanding reports to the
contrary, and II Russia gives the very
assurance asked for there
will be no war. Ootherwise peace
'annot be maintained"

16, 1867. He is the son of the late
Captain John Martin, who was one of
the pioneers of this Territory in the
COS and 70's. Captain Martin served
creditably and honorably during the
civil war as first lieutenant of Com
pany D, First California Volunteer In
fantry. This regiment was organized
in San Francisco and marched over
land in 1861 to the Mesilla Valley un-
der the command of Colonel, thereaf-
ter, Brigadier General Carleton. Cap
tain Martin saw much service against
hostile Indians and was the first man
to dig for and find water on what was
then the dreaded Jornada del Muerto,
when hostile Apaches held sway in
that section of New Mexico. Young
Martin was reared on his fathers
ranch on the Jornada, then called
Aleman and when of proper age, was
sent to st. Michael's College in this
city, where he received a thorough
commercial education, remaining at
that institution from 1877 to 1880.
Upon the death of his father, the
family moved to Mesilla. In July

BURSTING OF
A FLY WHEEL
Caused the Death of Three Work
ingmen and Fatally Injured
Three Others.

Johnstown, Pa. Jan. 21--As a result
of the breaking of a governor belt, al
lowing an immense fly wheel to run
away and burst in the Cambria Steel
Company's rail mill today, three men
are dead, three fatally hurt and six
are more or less severely injured
When the engineer felt the jar he
rushed to the steam valve and tried to
stop the engine. He was too late, how
ever. for the explosion of the wheel
was instantaneous. Flying pieces of
metal broke the steam pipes and re-
leased the scalding vapor. Red hot
pieces of metal were hurled against
the wooden walls and the roof setting
fire to both. At the same time the wa
ter pipes broke, the works flooding to
a depth of several feet and making es-
cape difficult for the injured After the
fire was extinguished, the search for
the bodies was commenced. All the
dead and injured are thought to have
been recovered.

MINE WORKERS
GET IN POLITICS
States Senators BY Direct Vote
Of the People.

Indianapolis, Jan. 21-At the open
ing of the convention of the United
Mine Workers today resolution was
considered providing for two delegates
to attend the convention of the West
ern Federation of Miners and to en-
deavor to establish friendly relations
or to form coalition between the two
organizations. An effort will be made
to have the Federation join the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and so be SUBJ
ject to the jurisdiction of the United
Mine Workers of America. A resolu-
tion was adopted urging the election
of United States Senators by direct
vote.
Delegate Howell of Colorado, intro
duced resolution in which lengthy
preamble set forth all the doctrines of
the Socialists and asked the mine
workers to take the initiative toward
calling worlds convention of trades
unions to. consider plans for the distri-
button of the wealth created by labor.
After an hours heated discussion it
was tabled. President Mitchell urged
the organization to have nothing to
do with political tenets. A resolution
asking that so cents per week per
capita be assessed for the benefit of
the Colorado strikers in addition to
the $21, 900 weekly now being given to
them, brought out lengthy discus
sion of the Colorado strike. The dis
cussion showed warm sympathy for
the strikers. The resolution was re-
ferred to the national executive COM
mittee. It will probably come up
later,
