DUE TO EXPLOSION OF GAS
Eight Lives Lost in the New Shaft
of the BrazneIl Coal Co. nj
Bentleyville, Pa.

Monongahela City, Pa, Nov. 16.-Un-
doubtedly killed and probably blown
to pieces sever men are lying in the
depths of the new shaft of the Braznell
Coal Co., on the outskirts of Bentley
vile, while another outside the mine is
dead as the result of a gas explosion.
The Braznell Coal Co. has been sink
ing the new shaft since last summer.
Two weeks ago it was learned that a
pocket of gas had formed in the bottom
of the mine, which is 1856 feet deep.
Orders We're given for all the men to
work with safety lamps. about five
minutes after the men descended into
the mine a terrific explosion occurred,
which blew huge pieces Of timber out
of the mine like skyrockets as high as
$50 feet in the air. The tipple and all
the mine rigging were torn down and
debris scattered in heaps all around.
Mine Inspector Harry Louteit gave as
his opinion that the explosion was
caused by fire damp. He believes tie
gas came seeping upward and reached
the miners lamps just as it was at the
explosive point. An ordinary miners
torch badly battered, which was found
lear the mouth of the shaft, tends to
indicate that some one disobeyed Or
ders and carried a lighted torch into the
shaft.

A FRIGHTFUL HOLOCAUST
Thirty-Nine Lives Lost and Nearly
as Many More Injured in a Glass
cow Lodging House Fire.

Glasgow, Nov. 20.-The most terri.
BILE fire that has occurred in Great
Britain for many years broke out here
in a cheap lodging house for men in
Watson street, and resulted in the loss
of 80 lives and the severe injury Of
many others.
The flames were first noticed On the
fourth floor of the building, which was
occupied by $50 men. An alarm was
raised and the firemen responded
quickly, but flames and smoke were
then issuing from most of the win
dows on the fourth floor. An extraor-
binary scene was created by a process
sion of almost naked men rushing out
of the entrance to the building and
against their frantic efforts to escape
the firenlen had actually to fight for
admission.
The local authorities had to be called
upon to supply the rescued men with
| clothing and warm meals. Owing to
their migratory habits and the absence
of permanent homes, many Of the dead
will never be identified. The identifi-
| cation of others is rendered difficult by
the absence of clothing.

ACTIVITY Is THE KEYNOTE
Only Drawback to the Fullest De-
veIopment of the C~Ountry's BUSH
ness is Railway Congestion.

New York, Nov. 18.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Activity is still the keynote of the
industrial and commercial situation.
Colder weather and the coming Christ
mas holidays have caused a heavy dis
tribution in practically every section
of the country save in the northwest,
where the rather high temperatures
and railway congestion prevent the
fullest development. Railway earn
ings are enormous, but the widespread
blockades are assuming a serious phase
and tend to curtail production in some
industrial lines. Manufacturing lines
are remarkably active. Consumption
of iron and steel is proceeding at an
enormous rate, with no apparent sign
Of a let-up in the immediate future.
Outdoor construction work is being
conducted on an enormous scale, and
a shortage of labor is reported from
many sections. Commodity prices
steady at close to the highest. Collec-
tions on the whole are classed as good.

THERE WAS A IMAM BEHIND"
Developments In the Case of Minnie
Mitchell and Aline Bowers.
Cause of Their Death as Yet INDIE
cided, But There Are Apparent
Inducements for Suicide.

st. Louis, Nov. 1S.-Dr. Hochdoerfer,
city autopsy physician, reported to
Coroner Lloyd Friday afternoon that
a thorough analysis of the stomach of
Minnie Mitchell, found dead with her
beautiful cousin, Aline Bowers. in their
fiat at 1927 Finney avenue. did not re-
veal the presence of poison. In the
blood he detected traces Of carbon mo-
noxide gas, which is found in illumi-
mating gas, but he has not determined
whether it was present in sufficient
quantity to cause death. He has not
completed an examination of the stom-
ach and the blood of Miss Bowers.
Letters found in the fiat reveal that
o. H. Smell, a prosperous and promi-
nent man of family in Moberly, Mo-,
had notified Miss Bowers. who had
been in his employ for several years
before coming to st. Louis, of his pur-
pose to withdraw his friendly interest
and urging her to desert the cousin.
Other letters indicate that Miss
Mitchell had quarreled with members
of her family, well known in Moberly
and that they had commanded her tc
return home, a command which
through her affection for her beautiful
cousin, she ~disregarded.
Smell is in the real estate business in
Moberly. He is so years OLD, married
and the head of a family. His wife is
recognized as the leader of the Moberly
| 400.
The letter which seems to indicate
Minnie Mitchell's motive for sharing
in a suicide pact was received Novem
Der 13 from her sister. 1t reads:

Other important features of the re-
quest to congress are for an %appropria-
ticn of 81, 900, 900 to be used in build
ing roads, relieving United States

CROWN LAND FOR PEASANTS
An Imperial Manifesto Granting
Land Concessions to Russian
Peasants Issued,

London, Nov. II, 6 a. ma dis
patch from st. Petersburg to Reuters
Telegram Co. says that an imperial
manifesto granting land concessions to
the peasants was issued this morning.
BY its terms the land redemption tax
payments from January IA, 1906, will
be reduced by one-half, and from jan
uary IA, 1907, the payments will be to-
tally abolished.
At the same time,the capital of the
Peasants bank is increased and the
bank receives additional loan privi-
leges, with the object of facilitating the
utmost purchase of lands by peasants.
1t is estimated that the amount of
taxation thus lifted from the peasants
by the manifesto will aggregate S40,-
900 900, while the extension of the field
of operation Of the Peasants bank will
enable vast tracts of crown and private
lands gradually to become the property
of the peasants.

TALK WITH THE PRESIDENT
Senator Dryden, of New Jersey, and
the President Talk Insurance.
The Senator Will Introduce q Bill
Providing for Federal Supcrvi-
sion of Life Insurance.

Washington, New. Ex-senator Dry
den, of New Jersey, who is president
of one Of the largest life insurance
companies in the country, had a talk
with the president on the subject OF
insurance, which the president will
discuss freely in his Forthcoming mes
sage to congress. Senator DRYDEN will
introduce at the approaching session a
bill providing for federal supervision
of life insurance. 1t will differ in
some respects from the measure Mr..
Dryden introduced in the last con-
gress, but the principle will be the
same. He indicated, in response to in
quiries, that the supreme court never
had passed upon the constitutionallty
of a federal law regulating insurance,
although it had held, in the considera-
ton of cases involving purely state
laws, that interstate insurance was not
interstate commerce
st is q fact" said Senator Dryden,
that eminent lawyers of the country
differ as to the colstitutionality OF a
law providing for federal supervision of
life insurance. That difference, prob
ably, will have to be resolved by the
supreme court"

other poverty parade in the streets
of London.

Gated the temper Of the processionists.
The march, however, was quite order
ly, and the strong police force on duty
