Washington Dec. 2-The republ-

n the han OF the house OF representa-
tives. and renominated all Of the eicc-
tive officers of the house who served
turing the last session William r.

of the caucus The principal feature
of the evening was the speech of Jo-
seph G. Cannon who was for a sec
ond time unanimously chosen for
speaker. The nomination Of Mr.. Can
non and his speech of acceptance cre-
ated hearty enthusiasm among the re-
publican members and his remarks
were generally approved.
Mr. CannOn's Speech.
In accepting the nomination, Mr.
Cannon said In part:
1T would be bold man or party
that would do anything by legislation
or threat thereof that would tend to
destroy or check the progress of the
people i'm the universal and successful
achievement in all branches Of indus
try in the country. Clothed with full
power, IL is our duty to see to It that
by wise appropriation the vast reve-
nues gathered from a willing people
are applied TO the public service to
make the same efficient, avoiding par
lmQny on the one hand an eXtraya-
rance ON the other.
"Since 1861 when our party came
into power. the history of the repub-
lican party nas been substantially the
history OF the country.
THE change In the methods of pro-
duction and commerce so salutary
and beneficial, involving as they do the
extraordinary use OF combined capital
emphasizes the necessity for prevent
ing agreements in restraint of trade,
and the regulation of commerce
among the states and with foreign ma
tions. The congress, within the lin.
its of its jurisdiction under the con
stitution has enacted legislation touch
ing these subjects. In the fullness OF
/ time II NAV be. under the law as II
Is now and by the operating Of
competitive forces. that matters of
| difference between the corporations.
/ the carrier. and the people they serve,
would be adjusted IN Justice to all.
"fhe consensus of opinion Of the
/ people, however, is that congress has
/ power by amendment 10 the law &C.
| provide better remedies for real
abuses existing. so that the produce.
and consumer can find more speedy
and less expensive remedy than we
now have. In this opinion | for one
concur. The burden Is upon congress
and our party having power, Is prl-
marily responsible.
Let us go forward But Is our duty
/ to see that legislation Is wise IN the
premises. just to the corporations. the
/ carrier and TO the people. We cannot
oppress one by foolish or unjust leg
lslatlon without In the end bringing
! disaster upon all"

FrightiuI Disaster in WyO.
ming Coal Mine.
WHOLE WORKING FORCE
ENT0MBED 100 FEET DEEP
Every Man in DiamondviIIe Workings
Killed in TwinkIng Of an Eye
by Explosion.

Diamondville. Wyo., Dec. 2.--Eigh-
teen miners lost their lives in an ex
lioslon late last night in the Diamond
Coal and Coke company's mine No. 1.
1t is believed that all the men who
perlshed were instantly killed. What
caused the disaster Is not definitely
known, but the theory advanced by
the miners Is that a blown out" sho,
caused the dust explosion which
wrecked the mine. The shock OF tn
explosion was felt ali over the town
rocking buildings so violently that
heir occupants ran out into the open
The news that there had been an.
other disaster at the Diamond mine
The second in less than five years
quickly spread through the village
and practically the whole population
of Diamondville flocked TO the mine
shaft, In the previous explosion
which occurred February 20, 1901
thlrty-two miners perished.
The wives and children of the en-
tombed miners were among those who
rushed to- the shaft, and the scene
there were most pathetic. Though
men were ready to enter the shaft II
was impossible to do so, owing to the
after-effects of the explosion, and
Superintendent Thomas Sheldon in
sisted that all precautions against fire
should he taken. 1t was late this fore
uOon before the first rescue party en-
tered the mine.
Explosion 1,1OO Feet underground.
The explosion occurred 1,1U0 feet
underground and at least 5000 feet
from the mouth of the shaft. The ex-
plosion wrecked the brattices and
blocked the entrances to the lower
levels of the mine, necesstating the
removal OF much debris before the
miners could be reached. When the
resctlers finally Went4into Hhe mine
none could remain long.
The crowds around the portal ea-
gerly watched as car after car came
up from below, but they brought up
bnly resouers who had been overcome
by the after-damp. 1t was nearly
noon before the first body was
brought uD
The eight hundred coal diggers of
the Diamond mines were assisted IN
the rescue work by many miners who
came over from Kemmerer, a few
miles distant.
Every man in the mine perished
The night force Is small, their work
being limited to knocking down coal
to be taken out by the day force.
While the workings are believed TO
he not materially damaged. II prOba-
bly, will be a week before the mine
VIII be shipping its usual output.
Many English miners, who came
direct to the mines from England, are
erH1loyed at Diamondville, and II Is
believed that majority of the dead
are Englishmen.

Jefferson City Mo, Dec. 2.-After a
long conference between Governor
Folk and Warden Hall concerning the
outbreak of convicts at the penitenti-
airy here. an order was placed By
wire for a supply OF gatling guns
which will be placed so as to sweep all
OF the approaches to the prison. and in
accordance with Governor Folks ex-
pressed determination they will be
manned by officers who will use them.
The idea is to have the gatlings so
disposed about the prison walls that
any number of convicts can be swept
away In the event the walls are de-
stroyed by explosives. II is believed
the presence OF the guns will have a
deterrent effect on future attempts AZ
riot and escape.
