TERRIBLE MINE EXPLOSION.
NINE MEN INSTANTLY KILLED
AND FOUR SCORE OTHERS
BADLY INJURED.

1 a -t
Roanoke, Va, July GA disastrous
explosion occurred in the Tidewater
coal mines at Vivian, w. Va, during
the day, causing the instant death of
nine men and the injuring Of four
score others. The details are very
meager but it is known that in addi-
ton to the nine dead fifteen have
been rescued in a dying condition.
There are probably more men in the
mines and it is almost certain that
they have perished.
The widest excitement prevails at
the scene of the disaster. Wives and
children of the doomed men are at the
mouth of the mine and it requires
force to keep them from throwing
themselves into the pit. The work of
rescue is going on as fast as possible
and men from every section are being
rushed here. The explosion occurred
shortly after the men had gone to
work for the day and nearly all of
them We're in their places. The cause
of the explosion is not known, but
the impression prevails that it was
caused by an accumulation of gas.

COMPLAIN OF HUMILIATION TO
TRAVELLERS
FIND ENTRY is DIFFICULT
Members Of Exempt Glasses Declare

cIuslon Lave
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, June 14.-President
Roosevelt is manfesting a deep inter-
est in the statements made to him last
Monday by a delegation of members of
the American Asiatlc association con-
cernlng the difficulties which hitherto
have been experienced by Chinese mer-
chants, students, travellers and literary
men in gaining admission to this coun-
try. The complaints of the Chinese gov
ernment about the alleged humiliation
to which members of those classes of
Chinese often are subjected upon
their arrival in the United States, to-
gether with the threats of the CONNER
cial guilds of China to retailiate by
boycotting American made goods, have
aroused the business men of this coun-
try to protest against what they
have regarded as unreasonable discrim-
ination in the enforcement Of the Chi
nese exclusion laws.
In letter to Secretary Metcalf of the
department of commerce and labor the
president directs him to see that the
immigration officers exercise discretion
in the enforcement of the exclusion
law, to the end that the relations of
this government with China may con-
tinue to be cordial. 1t is pointed out
that great difficulty is experienced by
the immigration officials in executing
the law, because of the many bogus
certificates which are presented by Chi
nese.
1t is a well-understood fact that for
a consideration Chinese coolie may
procure in China a certificate that he
is a merchant or traveller or member
of other exempt classes. On it's face
the certificate entities him to admis-
sion to the United States. So many
frauds have been discovered in the
matter of these certificates that tie
immigration officials examine all Of
them most carefully. That fact ac-
counts for the trouble experienced by
genuine merchants, travellers, etc,
when they arrive at United States
ports.
Thus far no feasible plan has been
worked out to remedy the trouble of
which the Chinese complain. Secretary
Metcalf is in favor of congressional
legislation on the subject, providing for
a rigid provision of the issuance of the
certificates in China, the idea being
to hold absolutely responsible for the
accuracy of the statements contained
in the certificates the officials who is.
