 DEFENDS THE AUTOCRACY
TWENTY-FOUR MEN
 KILLED IN MINES
TEN OF THE DEAD WERE MEM. BERS OF A RESCUE PARTY IN THE RED RUSH MINE, WEST VIRGINIA.

Fire Creek, W. Va, March 19.-In the two explosions in the Red Ash and Rush Run mines late last night at least twenty-four men were killed' ten of the dead being members of a rescue party, who were caught by the second explo- sion In the Rush Run mine.
 The dead in the Rush Run mine are: Andrew Weir, white; Charles Jones, Sr., white; Will Conn, white; Clayton Mos ley, colored; Perry Wood. colored; Hol- ley J. Arrall, white; Thomas Allen, col ored; Clarance Allen. colored.
 The Red Ash Mine dead are: Clarence Jackson, colored Steven Nugi. Italian; three unknown Slavs.

P. and Norman; J. E. Phillips, white; E. W. Puson, white: Henderson Mosley. white; Renal Washington, col ored unknown man.
 Eight miners were at work in the Rush Run and five in the Red Ash mine when the first explosion occurred last night. Five or six hours later a party of eleven rescuers entered Rush Run mines to lo- cate the dead. They probably had gone back 2000 feet when the second explosion ocurred, and 1t is positively known that ali are dead. as there is no possible chance for their escape.
 After the first explosion miners from neighboring mines rushed to the iil-fated mine in an effort to save their comrades. On account of the gas 1t was considered unsafe to enter the mine today, but early tommorrow eight old and experienced miners with safety lamps will enter and close up some of the entrances. So that fresh air can be forced into the mine. The rescuers had gone about 200 feet Into the mine when the second explosion occurred. or less than half the distance to where the miners had been working when the nrst explosion occurred.
 There is no hopo of recovery of any oe the dead bodies until tomorrow at the earliest. The Red Ash and Rush Run mines connect together in four places by coal being cut through. the work being under the same management.

Retreat North Continued.

With the Japanese Army, in the Field. via Fusan, March 1S.-(2 p. m.. pelayed)- The Russian army continues its northern retreat, the Japanese following. They have occupied Fakaman to the northwest of Tie Pass. Yesterday evening the Rus sian cavalry camped three miles south or Kaiiyuan. Large Russian columns are re-. treating toward this place from the south west. The natives report that they are not stopping there where the hills make defense possible. If the retreat Is forced. 1t probably will be continued to Harbin The Russians are reported as being badly disorganized.

 that of the other nationalities grew. the clearer could 1t be seen that national struggles make parliamenthrism lmpos- sible. Political and social parties are pos sibie In q parliament-not national. For a struggle between nationalities Is in every way different from a struggle be- tween parties within nation.
 As with Hungary on a compar- lively small scale. so with Russia on col- lossal one. and the peril with which par liamentarsm menaces Russia Is therefore infinitely greater than that which the Hapsburgian state faces The Russian em- pire is vast but it's vastness is still of very recent origin It's western and east ern frontier possessions, Finland, the Bal tic provinces. Poland. the Caucasus and the central Asian regions-haye not only not yet assimilated themselves with Rus sia proper but they do not even desire to do so; they entertain hopes of an inde- pendent national and even political exist ence. In view of this their centrifugal force is much more powerful and intense than that of the smaller nationalities of Austria. which cannot even think of com plete independence outside of the Haps- burg sway. those fragments of the Italian and Servian peoples who are endeavoring to join themselves to the Italian and Ser vian kingdoms alone excepted.
 If Autocracy Ceased.
 Let us now suppose that the autocracy. which has created and preserved In It's entirety the great united Russian empire. be swept away and in its place be subst- tuted constitutional parliamentarsm. What takes place In this parliament? A process of disintegration as in It's Aus trian prototype, the fragments arraying themselves not into political but into na- tional parties. which enter into an implac- able conflict among themselves. This con fict will put stop to the whole march of political life and will end only when all Russia has been reduced to shattered fragments--in other words when Russia has ceased to exist.
 Such prospect is. of course. a con summation deYoutly to be wished for by all the enemies of Russians but we Rus sian conservatives look with horror upon the prospect of such a fate and are en- deavorinR with all our strength to avert it. But the present enemies of Russia in western Europe would do well to consld- CT that they would also begin to feel the consequences of the disappearance of great powerful Russia. then no longer able to resist the menacinR yellow in- vasion. which would sweep over It's rem nants to fall upon Europe with all it's de- structive force.
 This in a few words is one of the chief feHSoHS WHY neeus HutocrHcV. unoer which. as has been shown by the history of ages. Russia has been able to fulhl with such success her great task. Par liamentapisr1 the other hand, would destroy Russia's integrity. and with 1t Russia herself I repeat once more that have here touched upon but one of the principal reasons why autocracv fig neces- sarv to Russia. that very external reason which can he most easily understood by foreigners unacduanted with Russia. Other reasons. of more domestic charac- fer. would demand as I said above. too detailed and complicated explanations"

Scarcely a day passes with. out the appearance of seditious pamphlets. One secret publication entitled tsThe Bar ricades," which was recently circulated. preached revolutionary doctrines, urging workmen to prepare for the struggle and build barricades in the streets. The moo ilization is expected to begin in Lodz tomorrow. Workmen in several mills there already are striking. as a mani- festation of hostility to such measures The school strike at Warsaw is reach ing an acute stage
 The authorities today issued a final or der that boys not returning to school be- fore Wednesday will be expelled regard less of their number. The Polish educa- tional committee, which resently went to St. Petersburg, is angered at the gov ernment's non-conciliatory attitude, and met here today and resolved to support the boys in striking. More trouble is feared.
 Warsaw and Lodz manufacturers have been invited to send delegates to a meet ing of industrial representatives from all parts of Russia to Moscow on Thursday to discuss the commercial situation, pre- paratory to making report to the min- istry of commerce.

 Birmingham was growing town when Miss Rawls lived there, but she out grew 1t. She came to New York and opened a modest little office in a build ing in cortlandt street. Fortune smiled on her from the beginning. She sought large contracts in her line of work, and when she went after a contract or big job she got it.
 In the lexicon of her beautiful youth there was no such word as fail. Men could not say No to her smiles. Bank presidents, big politicians and prominent lawyers found her work so satisfactory that they gave her more and larger con- tracts.

March 1G. via Fusan-General KurolSi's army continues to lead the Japanese forces, which have now been engaged for nine days in hard pursuit, in which they have covered a distance of more than ninety-five miles with frequent fighting. The weather in the mountains Is very cold, with frequent hard storms.
 The brigade in advance occupied Tie Pass Wednesday after a brief engage ment.
 The Russian retreat became more dis orga nized daily after the storm. During the first day the Russians buried their dead. but since then they have left the dead wherever they fell. Tuesday the Russians made an attempt at resistance in entertainments north of the Hun river but abandoned them after they had been shelled for two hours.
