Washington, May 11.-Secretary
Taft fairly took the breath of the 300
railway men, members Of the interna-
tional Railway congress, dining to-
night as the guests of the American
Railway association at the New Will
lard hotel, when, after being introduce
ed as THE Apostle from the Philip
pines," he emphatically. declared that
railway rate legislation must come,
that If the railway men Of the coun-
try were wise they would aid and
not hinder It; that the sentiment OF
the country is such that failure OF
proper regulation meant a campaign
on the subject that would do no good
to the railroads.

DISASTER IN
BUTTE MINE
SEVEN MEN KILLED AND ONE
BADLY INJURED At
THE CORA.

Butte, May 12.-Seven men were
killed and one injured, probably IA.
tally, in an explosion in the Cora mine
Of the big Heinze properties at 3
o'clock this afternoon.
The dead: Daniel O'Brien, John
Houlahan. r. H. Hill, David Gill. Nels
Wampa, John Kramer. Daniel Hanley.
The injured: Hugh McGillis, con.
cussion of the brain, believed fatal.
The cause Of the explosion is not
known, and can only be surmised.
Nels Wampa was carrying an armful
Of about 40 sticks of dynamite. ap-
proximately Is pounds, to his friends
for blasting purposes. He was climb
ing ladder 1900 feet underground
to join his companions ON the 1,400
foot level. when the dynamite ex-
ploded with terrible effect.
It is believed that Wampa either
touched his lighted candle to q giant
cap or else hot candle grease fell up.
on it, causing it to explode. The
men working nearby were also blown
to pieces, their remains filing seven
sacks. Four others, working about
100 feet distant, were instantly killed,
though their bodies were not mutilat-
ed.
The drift on which the unfortunate
men were working was completely

Foreman Thomas Warden was CROP
ing in the dense smoke in an effort
to rescue the men, his hand came In
contact with something soft, which,
upon investigation, proved to be half
of the top of Wampa's head hanging
to an electric light wire over hun
dred feet distant from the scene OF
the explosion.
Three of the men we're blown to
atoms and bits of their bodies scat
tered along the drift for distance of
Is feet.
The remaining four were killed by
conclusion at a distance Of nearly 100
feet from the place where the explo-
sion occurred. Nearly rs pounds OF
dynamite exploded in the arms of Nels
Wampa, as he was ascending lad
der leading to the sill of the 1900 foot
level. It is supposed that the explo-
sion was caused by drop of hot
candle grease falling from an igniter.
The men had come down to the sill
floor of the 1900 foot level to get the
powder to blast with before going OF
shift at 4 o'clock. Nels Wampa, a
Finn miner, had take about 40 sticks
of dynamite, some caps ande fuse and
started back for one of the upper
floors, where he had been working.
He had started up ladder on his re-
turn when by some unknown manner
the powder became ignited and ter.
rible explosion followed.

SALUTE At APPoMATTox.
An Odd Incident In the Closing Scene
Of the War.

The st. Louis Globe Democrat tells
of a curious incident of which no men
ton is made in the books which have
treated the closing scenes at Apo
mattox. The muskets of the Confeder-
ates were allowed to remain stacked
on the field. The grass caught fire in
some way and was allowed to burn.
So suddenly had the fighting ceased on
the morning Of the 9th that thousands
Of the pieces were left loaded. As
the flames of the grass crept along the
line Of stacked muskets the guns were
heated to the firing point and soon
there was an incessant popping. The
balls went almost straight until the
force of the discharge was spent and
then dropped down. To this day the
field of surrender is strewn with these
bullets. so little has Appomattox been
visited that the balls are easily found.
This firing of the muskets by the
burning grass was the only salute that
accompanied the surrender. When
Lee had received Grants terms and
accepted them the firing Of hundred
guns In token of victory was begun.
but Grant quickly stopped 1t.

MAY REGULATE RATES.
Attorney Generate Important Opinion
On Railway Question.

Attorney Generate important Opinion
On Railway Question.
Washington, May San important
and far reaching opinion has been
handed down by Attorney General
Moody at the request Of Senator
Stephen b. Elkins, chairman of the
committee that is investigating mat
ters relating to the regulation Of rail
road rates. In q concise summary,
Attorney General Moody presents the
following conclusions:
1. There is a governmental power
to fix the maximum future charges
Of carriers by railroad. vested in the
legislatures Of the states with regard
to transportation exclusively within
the states, and vested in congress
with regard to all other transporta-
ton.
2. Although legislative power, prop
erly speaking, can not be delegated,
the law making body having enacted
into law the standard of charges
which shall control, may intrust to an
administrative body not exercising in
the true sense judicial power the duty
to fix rates in conformity with that
standard.
3. The rate making power is not
a judicial function and can not be
conferred constitutionally upon the
courts of the United States, either by
way Of original or appellate jurisdic-
ton.
4. The courts, however, have the
power to investigate any rate or rates
fixed by legislative authority and to
determine whether they are such as
would be confiscatory of the property
of the carrier, and IL they are judic-
tally found to be confiscatory in their
effect, to restrain their enforcement.
s. Any law which attempts to de-
prive the courts Of this power is un-
constitutional.
8. Any regulation Of land trans.
portation. however exercised. would
seem to be so indirect In its effect
upon the ports that It could not con
stitute preference between the ports
Of different states within the meaning
of article one, section nine OF para
graph six of the constitution.
Z. Reasonable, just and impartial
rates determined by legislative auth
ority are not within the prohibition
of article one, section nine, paragraph
six of the constitution, even though
they result in a varying charge pei
ton per mile to and from the ports
of the different states.
