I.Ie Of Pine. coIonl.t. squeIehed.

washington.-In reply to letter
from Charles Rayuard, secretary of
the American Club of the Isle of Pines,
asking information in regard to the
necessary form Of procedure to estab-
lish a territorial form Of government
for the island, Secretary of State
Root wrote:
There is no procedure by which you
and your associates can lawfully es-
tablish territorial government
in that island. The island is
lawfully subject to the control and gov
ernment of the republic of Cuba, and
you and your associates are bound to
render obedience to the laws of that
country SO long as you remain in the
island. You are not likely to have any
greater power in the future. The
treaty now pending before the Senate,
If approved by that body, will relin-
clish all claim of the United States to
the Isle of Pines"

Where German Towns Excel.

Towns which half century ago
were famous only for their galleries or
their picturesque medieval survivals
are now great hives of artisans. This
change did not come to Germany, as
it came to England, when municipal
science was in its infancy; and SO in
Germany we see industry developing
from the start under the most scien-
tifc conditions.
Mr.. Low is chiefly struck by the er-
forts Of German authorities to make
all parts of their cities agreeable to
live in, and he thinks their municipal
government the most efficient to be
found anywhere. Our own public
health system is better and our
method of paving greatly superior, but
the level of apparent comfort in Ger
many Is far higher. There are no
such contrasts as between Piccadilly
and Poplar.
The lot of the German workingman
may be really a harder one, what
with the high price of food and exor.
bitant rents, but at least he has an en-
vironment free from the worst kind
of squalor.-The Spectator.

Gas Explosion at Lyons.

Denver.-A Republican special from
Lyons, Boulder county. Friday, says:
An explosion occurred here about 1920
this evening when the Monarch Acety
lene gas plant, by which the store OF
NJ. J. Scanlon was lighted. exploded
L. c. Lyon received injuries that may
cause death. The lights in the store
were fiickering and Lyon, who is a
clerk, went into the stone cellar in
the rear of the yard to see what was
the trouble with the lights. He went
alone and took lighted lantern. No
one knows how the explosion occurred
Lyon was found about fifty feet from
the stone building against a high board
fence In front of the yard, horribly mu-
tilated. His clothing had been blown
from his body, which was a mass OF
blood and bruises. He is alive, and
the doctors say there is chance for
him to recover.
The lantern which he carried was
found block away. The stone build
ing containing the gas plant was
blown to pieces. The windows across
the street in the Lyons Recorder build
ing, Zang's brewery building, the post
office building and the Golden Rule
store were all blown out. The con-
cussion was felt all over the town.

Thrown at President's Train.

Washington.-As President Roose-
velt's special train was passing
through North Philadelphia at 1880
Saturday evening, en- route to Wash
ington. some unknown person hurled
a mason's plumb-bob through one of
the windows. The implement was of
iron and weighed about two and half
pounds. 1t fell at the feet of Major
Webb Hayes. son of the late Pres
ident Hayes. who was a passenger on
the train. Fragments of broken glass
fell on Major Hayes, but he was in no
way injured. The car was In the for
ward part of the train and might easily
have been taken for the Presidents
private car. Major Hayes was sitting
at the window. A profile of him is not
unlike that of the President. No clue
to the thrower of the missile was OBJ
tanned. The President himself knew
nothing of the matter until nearly an
hour after 1t occurred.
Railroad officials are inclined to the
belief that the plumb-bob was thrown
by some boy, as incidents of similar
character have occurred before at
about the same time.

WY0MING'S DEAD
AWFUL EXPLOSION IN DIAMOND.
WILLIE COAL MINE.
NINETEEN MINERS KILLED

Caused by Blowing Out Of . Shot
Previous Explosion in the Same
Mine Killed Thirty-Two Persons in
1901.
Diamondville, Wyo.-An explosion
of coal dust in the No. mine of the
Diamondville Coal and Coke Company
at 1880 o'clock Friday night resulted
in the death of nineteen miners, cousti-
tuting the entire night force of the
mine.
The explosion was precipitated by q
blown out" shot, which Is Q blast
which blows burning powder out Of the
hole in which the powder is placed,
much in the manner in which burning
powder is blown from the muzxle of a
gun. The flash Of this shot ignited
coal dust hanging in the air. the flame
spreading through the dust to the re-
motest quarters Of the lower levels of
the mine with such rapidity that the at
mosphere was disturbed as violently
as though by tremendous explosion
OF powder.
The explosion occurred about 1000
feet down the main slope Of the mine,
all of the night shift being employed
at that point in knocking down coal
for removal by the day shift. Every
one of the men undoubtedly was
killed instantly, as the force OF the ex-
plosion was so terrific that the entire
lower workings of the mine were
wrecked.
A large body of coal torn from the
walls and roof of the slope entirely
blocked the road to the lower levels,
making the work of rescuing the bodies
of the victims very difficult.
The body of Robert Marshall was
blown up the slope to a point above
where the cave-in occurred and was
the first found by the rescue parties
who entered the mine soon after the
explosion took place. 1t lay amid
pile of wreckage and was badly disfig-
ured.
Fridays explosion was the second
in the history Of Diamondfield No. 1.
On February &c, 1901, an explosion in
the mine killed thirty-two miners and
set the mine on fire, much difficulty be-
ing experienced in extinguishing the
lanes. Following the explosion the
mine was equipped with brick brattices
instead of wooden brattices. and other
precautions against a repetition Of the
accident were taken. The last previous
mine explosion of importance in
Wyoming occurred at Hanna, June 30,
1908, 169 miners losing their lives.

Numerous resolutions were passed
at the meeting. Among those was one
asking that the state take whatever
means necessary to retain Prof. w. L.
Carlyle of the agricultural college,
whose work was heartily praised. 1t
was also suggested that he be made
director OF the experiment station.
A resolution was passed asking the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty
to Animals to desist opposition to the
attempt to have Congress extend the
time limit for keeping cattle in cars
from twenty-eight to thirty-six hours
The cattlemen say that there is more
cruelty loading and unloading cattle
than in keeping them confined a few

its effect upon cattle be continued.
