EXTRA SESSION ON RATE LAW.
Will Be Called in October, Earlier
Action Being Impossible.

Washington, Feb. 81. - President
Roosevelt, who for weeks has been
hopeful that some definite action might
be taken at the present session of con-
gress on the railroad rate question,
practically has relinquished the idea OF
securing legislation on the subject this
winter. 1t is reasonably certain that
he will not call an extraordinary ses-
sion of congress to meet in the spring.
but unless he changes his mind, he will
call congress together, probably next
October.
Representatives Esch and Townsend,
joint authors of the rate bill which
passed the house, had a talk with, the
president today. They outlined the
rate situation and conditions as they
found it. They agreed with him that
| the prospect for the enactment of rate
legislation at this session was remote
They indicated that if no action was
taken at this session, the subject would
be considered thoroughly during the
coming summer with the idea of pre-
senting measure at the next session
which, very likely, would contain some
additional features.

RESERVES BREAK Up A CROWD.
Russian RevoIutionists were Blocking
Streets in New York.

New York, Feb. 21.-Police reserves
were called out tonight to disperse a
crowd said to be sympathizers with the
Russian revolutionary party. Eight
men were arrested, charged with parad-
ing without permit, collecting a
crowd and holding an unlawful meet
ing.
The trouble started when two police
men came upon crowd cheering and
applauding speech made by one of
their number. The police were unsuc-
cessful in dispensing the people, and
called for the reserves: 1t was said
that red flag was being waved and
later sergeant of police, who assisted
in the raid, made the statement that
on one of the men arrested was Sin
flammatory and revolutionary litera-
ture." This mans name was Albert
Argentier, and the police found on him
subscription list for the Russian rev.
olutionists, said to have been issued by
the pro-revolution committee for Rus
sia. All the men arrested said they
were tailors and protested against being
taken into custody.

HEAVY DAMAGE TO FALL WHEAT
Many Farmers Expect to Reseed the
Frozen Fields.

Pendleton-Farmers coming in from
the north and northwestern part of the
county believe that the fall sown wheat
will be total loss, as the snow has
been blown from the hills and piled in
the hollows and has left the fields bare.
Some are so sure of the freeze that they
are in the city buying drills to reseed
their fields as soon as the weather per-
mits.
In the northwestern part of the coun-
ty, west of Adams and north of Echo,,
in the low lands where the soil is light
very little snow fell and as the ground
was exceedingly dry the freeze will be-
more severe. In the vicinity of Athena
and Weston, where the snow was deep
er and did not blow off, the wheat is
considered safe and will not have to be-
reseeded,

EXPLOSION OF DUST THE CAUSE
Details of Cause Of Explosion VIII
Likely Never Be known-Relief: =
Hurried to Scene.

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 21.- By an
explosion in the Virginia mine, about
IS miles southwest of Birmingham. at
4 o'clock this afternoon, between 11O
and 135 union miners are entombed
and it is believed the entire number
suffered an awful death. Scores of
vigorous rescuers are at work digging
into the mine to relieve their friends
and comrades in the inside. ...
The explosion is believed to have
been caused by an accumulation of
dust, although the mine has heretofore
been noted for being entirely free from
dust. It is also Believed that, as the
entire quota has 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, there is no telephone
station at Virginia, and the only wire
running to the place is a dispatcher s
wire of the Birmingham Mineral rail-
way, on which Virginia is located.
Details of the disaster were slow to
come in.
The class of miners employed was
the best in the district, and all be.
longed to the United Mineworkers o1
America. Since the strike has been or
in the Birmingham district, many ot
the most industrious and thrifty miners
of Pratt City and other important min.
ing points have removed to the Vir.
ginia mines, SO that4the smines were
being worked to their full capacity by
the most skilled miners in the commu
nifty.
Relief trains with surgeons ano
workmen were dispatched from botl
Birmingham and Bessemer as soon az
the news of the disaster was learned
They began the work of succor in earn
est and at midnight had not dug hal
way through the mass of debris. It ii
thought it will be 10 o'clock tomor
row before the interior of the stope il
reached.
The slopes are we'll arranged ane
there has never been the least trouble
in the mines before. They are ownet
by the Alabama Steel & Wire company
but are leased and operated by Reid {
Co.

Thursday, February I6.

Aside from two hours spent in rou-
tine business the senate today gave its
entire attention to the Swayne impeach-
ment trial. Two and half hours of
the time given to that case was spent
behind closed doors.
Before taking up the naval bill,
which occupied the greater part of its
time, the house today entered an en-
phatic protest against the action of the
senate in amending the agricultural
bill. After considering the naval bill
for the most of the day it was laid aside
and several bills Of minor Importance
were passed.

Berlin, Eeb. 21.-It is a significant
fact that a.despite the news from St.
Petersburg about the probability Of the
revival. of the Zemsky Sober as popu-
Jar legislative assembly, diplomatic cir
Eeles in Berlin insist that the assassina-
tion of Grand Duke Sergius will rather
have the effect of Strengthening the au-
tocratic party than to weaken its inf1u-
I.ence at court.
Statements to this effect have been
made within the past "a hours by per-
sons who are close both to the German
emperor's advisors and to the Russian
representatives in Berlin, and it. would
be unwise to treat their views lightly
1t is pointed out in this connection
that the, granting of concessions by
the czar. at this time would not be con-
strued by the liberal and radical szele-
ments as: voluntary acts. but as the re-
suit OF fear that other members of the
imperial family may share the fate Of

ent reason why the czar, though per
fhaps personally inclined to do so, will
under no circumstances grant any of the
more far-reaching demands beyond
those as outlined in his manifesto O.
last; December. These persons say tha'
the grand ducal coterie will stop shor
of nothing to preserve autocracy in its
full power, and that if the present czal
is not willing to look out for his crown
a regency will see to it that the infan
czarevitch is not deprived of it unless
it is taken from him by force.
Plainly this means that the men wh'
have murdered by their counsel ane
methods thousands of the workmen ane
peasants in the many years of thei
rule, will not shrink from having pu
out of the way the ruler who, it il
strongly asserted they reverence il
public, while they hold his lack of de
cision, his desire to placate all of tn
factions and his evident leanings to
ward the moderate liberals in privat
contempt.
