A SimpsOnian Echo.

A number of politicians at Democrat
&c headquarters were discussing before
election the bucolic ignorance dis
played by newly elected congressman
from the interior
about the worst instance that ever
came within my personal knowledge"
said Chairman Taggart, was that af-
forded by the Honorable Jerry Simp-
son, the chap that for while was
known as 'Sockless' Simpson. Well,
when Jerry first came to congress he
observed that he was not entirely
familiar with the Mckinley bill. He
proposed, however, TO examine into the
matter, and if he considered it just he
would vote that it be paid. "-Harper's
Weekly

Men Die.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 21.-Meager
reports have reached this city of a ter
rible disaster in the Virginia mines,
which are located about eighteen miles
from birmingham. Those entombed
number from 40 to 135, accord
ing to various estimates made,
and it is believed that all are dead.
Relief trains carrying physicians and
IabOrers have been sent to the scene
of the disaster from both Bessemer
and Birmingham. Reports to The Age
Herald state that every effort is being
made to reach the men, but that they
cannot possibly succeed before some
time today.
Caused by Giving Way of Timbers.
The mines belong to the Alabama
Steel and Wire company, and are
leased by Reid 4 Co. Both white and
c0lored miners are employed, and only
recently union miners went to work.
The mines are considered models Of
their kind. The slopes are we'll To-
Gated and there has never been any
trouble from gas heretofore. 1t is
stated that the accident was caused
by a cave-in due to the giving way
OF the timbers.
Began with Gas Explosion.
The cave-in is believed to have been
caused by an explosion of an accumu-
lation Of gas, although the mine has
heretofore been noted for being entire
ly free from gas. 1t is also believed
that as all the men in the mine have
probably been killed, the details of the
cause of the disaster will never be
known. The camp is almost isolated
from the rest of the world, as there is
no telephone station at Virginia, and
the only wire running to the place is
a dispatcher's Wire of the Birmingham
Mineral railway, OH which Virginia is
located Details of the disaster are
slow to come in.
Rescuers Are Hard at Work.
RescuerS began their work in earn
est before 6 p. m., and at midnight had
not gotten half way through the mass
of debris. 1t is thought it will be 10
Il. IN. today before the interior of the
slope is reached. J. D. HillhOuse, as
sistant state mine inspector for Ala
bama, has gone to the mines to inves-
tigate the disaster officially. President

Mine Workers. and National Commit

No Increase in Rates.

Commissioner West today declared that
he viii not consent to an increase In the
rates of hire for public conveyances for the

over the rates charged four years ago at
the last inauguration. Members of an as
ISOLATION of local livery stable proprietors
and members of the inaugural committee
on carriages recently called on Commits
sioner West and urged him TO consent TO
the proposition that the charge for all pub-
lie one-horse vehicles, the night of March
4. be placed at the Hat rate of So and that
the fiat rate for two-horse vehicles he
placed at $40 Mr.. West said that he would
not consent to any increase over the rates
charged at the last inauguration
When the draft OF the regulations and
schedule of rates governing carriages dur
ing the Inauguration were submitted 10 the
Commissioners the otner day by Chairman
Knox of the inaugural committee Mr. West
declined to approve the schedule. The rates
submitted by the committee were 81 for all
one-horSe public licensed vehicles and $40
for two-horse vehicles. In his statement on
the proposition Mr.. West says:
THE suggestion of the committee on car
riages for the inauguration. which pro-
poses an Increase in the rates for vehicles
used in transporting persons to and from

approval 1t is true that the Commission

UNCLE SAM HAS A DoDo.
A Stuffed Specimen on View in the
National Museum.

A stuffed dodo has been obtained by the
National Museum and now reposes in the
care of the gentlemen who spend their time
caring for the great collection of Uncle
Sam and adding to that remarkable gather
ing of extinct specimens of animal and
vegetable creation.
This dodo is intended for exhibition at
the Lewis and Clarke exhibition at Port
land, Ore, which is to be opened in the
spring. 1t is remarkable creature, and,
having passed from the active memory of
man, is one to be cherished and admired
by the lovers of ornithologic history. He is
not feathered according to the exact man
ner of nature. But his skeleton is at the
museum and the experts there have so
trimmed him up that he now looks upon the
casual visitor with all the Afelikeness ex-
hfbited when he strobe the sands of his
native home the Isle de France, down

The skeleton of the bird came from
Europe and IT'S acquisition was the result
of many orders placed with dealers of the
continent.

sion of the arrangements to be made by
the committee the House committee re-
called in vivid manner the invitation that
had been extended to the lower branch of
Congress to attend the ceremonies in the

ration and the further fact that the men,
bers were not even provided with seats,
but allowed to arrange themselves
against the walls 0 fthe chamber as best
they might.

GOVERNMENT WAKES UP

The Chinese boycott has finally
reached the dignity of international
inquiry. The United States Govern
ment has made official representations
TO the Chinese, asd has demanded thar
American treaty, rights be kept in-
violate There is no question as T.
the attitude of the Chinese Govern
ment in the matter. There will be no
'official recognition" OF the boycott
The Chinese are adopts is the art
diplomacy, and when it comes to prov
ing that the Chinese people are keep
ing within their rights, the Orientais
viii have all the evidence.
There is no law, either local,
natiosal or international, that will
compel any one to buy goods that
he does not want. Neither is there
any law to compel people to WORK
when they don't want to, except the
law of personal necessity.
But the Chinese now have the boy
colt where they want it, and while
it is sitting through the slow channels
OF diplomacy there will be sufficient
agitation to keep the matter alive BE-
fore the minds of the people whom
it is hoped to influence and all the pres
sure that can be brought to bear on
the national lawmakers will be center
ed on the effort to have the exclusion
law abrogated
With our Government making "of
fetal" inquiries and the Chinese maxi
ing official" replies, there will be
plenty of argument advanced in favor
of the abrogation of the treaty. with
out any one having an opportunity
OF arguing on the other side.
