4 Lucid and Thrilling Account of One
During the War.

To the editor OF The Sunday News:
l have read with interest the articles
Of MIR. Ford and others in recent issues
of The Sunday News, in reference to
the shooting Of James Miller by Sher-
mans army, in March, 1865, in retail
alton for the killing of a Federal SOL
dier By supposed bushwhackers. MI.
Miller lived near Jefferson, in Chester
field County. S. c.. and I knew his
brother, the late Major Jno. S. Miller,
and many OF his neighbors and friends
among them some Of those who partl-
cipated with him in the casting OF lots.
Some years ago newspaper was placed
in my hands by a Son.in law Of James
Miller. in which was an account OF the
shooting Of Mr.. Miller, purporting to
have been written by an officer con-
nected with the affair and present at
bis death. I have forgotten the name
OF the officer, and OF the newspaper,
which I think was published, In Lati-
caster or Chesterfield, S. c., and re-
produced the article from a Western
paper. This paper was in my port
folio, which was m.slaid, lost or stolen
about two years ago.
EXCUSE FOR MILLER S MURDER.
1t stated that the dead body Of a
Federal soldier, belonging to a West
ern cavalry regiment, thiuk from
Michigan, was found where be had ev-
identity been murdered by bushWhacK-
ers, that the Federal commander had
determined to resort to retaliation to
prevent such killings, and Gen Francis
P, Blair, who commanded the 18th
army corps, issued orders for the cast
ing Of lots for one man to be put to
death for the killing of the cavalry
man aforesaid.
My informants did not know all who
participated in the casting Of lots, but
among them we're Mr.. B. R. Clanton,
now living in Chesterfield County, Mr..
Robert Griffith and others who knew
James Miller. have talked with and
corresporded With others about the
cruel tragedy, and from them and the
account by the Federal officer before
mentioned my information was OBJ.

THE RUSSIAN SITUATION.

Under such conditions as have pre-
vailed in Russia, the Labor Unions are
scarcely to be blamed Tor exerting
their power to the utmost for the
overthrow of the Government. Count
Tolstoi, the greatest and nobelest OF
Russians, has declared that the first
step of progress must be to get rid
of absolutisIh But the demonstra-
ton of the political power of organ
lied labor is likely to produce deep
impression in other countries, and 10
bring about remarkable results. No
doubt the eyes of labor leaders are
eagerly watching developments in the
Empire, and the example of united
action, of the universal strike, will be
followed or initiated. sooner or later,
in other lands, should occasion arise
for such action. The danger is that
demagogues may provoke the misuse
of this tremendous individual weapon.
It is as great a power for mischief
as for good, and one that must be
looked upon with mistrust and mis-
giving, but at it's worst, it is indefinite
ly preferable to the old revolutionary
methods of bloodshed and violence.
There is a vast expressiveness In
the phrase seen in St. Petersburg dis
patches-'the struggle between the
Government and the proletariat." BY
proletariat, of course. is meant the
common people, the masses, as dis
tinguished from the privileged classes
or aristocracy, composed of the nobil-
ity and the bureaucrats or Office
holders So long as the Gear and the
aristrocrats could count upon the
slavish obedience of the troops they
were strongly entrenched in power,
but now that the Army and Navy are
both honeycombed with revolutionary
sentiment the main support of auto
cracy is gone.-Bee.

Miners ENTOMBED

Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 21.-By an
explosion in the Virginia mine, about
8 miles southwest of Birmingham, at
O'Clock Monday afternoon, between
10 and 1875 union miners are entomb-
ed, and it is believed the entire number
suffered awful death. Scores of vigor-
GUS rescuers are at work digging into
the mine to relieve thier 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. 1t is also believed that as the
entire quota has probably been killed
the details of the cause off the disaster
will never be known.
The camp is isolated from the rest of
the world, as there is no telephone sta
ton at Virginia. Details of the disas-
ter were slow to come in.
The class of miners employed was
the best in the district, and all belong
ed to the United Mineworkers of
America. Since the strike has been on
in the Birmingham district, many of
the most industrious and thrifty miners
of Pratt City and other important min
ing points have removed to the Virgin
ia mines, so that the mines were being
worked to their full capacity by the
most skilled miners in the community.
Relief trains with surgeons and
workmen were dispatched from both
Birmingham and Bessemer as soon as
the news was learned. 1t is thought
it will be noon ON Wednesday before
the interior of the stope is reached.
The slopes are we'll arranged, ant
there has never been the least trouble
in the mines before. They are owned
by the Alabama Steel e. Wire com
pany, but are leased and operated by
Reid e. Co.
President Edward Flynn of the Ala
bama United Mineworkers and Nation
al Committeeman Farley, together
with J. r. Allier, district organizer
have left for the scene.
President Flynne, said before leaving
that there were 1876 men employed il
the mine regularly, but as Monday wa
payday he could not say whether tn,
full quota was in the mine at the tim,
of the disaster or not.

PAST WEEK OF THE WAR.
Japs Threaten Russian Line of Com
munication.

Last week was one of activity at
the seat of war, although there were
no developments that resulted in i'm
portant gains for either contestant.
There was almost uninterrupted bonn
bardment throughout the week by both
sides on both TANKS and at the center.
There was hard fighting between a
number of small detachments, but the
cold weather prevented anything like
a general engagement 1t is still diff
ficult to maneuver with large bodies
of men, and the hospitals on both sides
are said to be filed with frostbitten
soldiers.
Early in the week the Russians
drove the Japanese from Nangazi on
the latter's left, and Slav cavalry in
considerable numbers made a daring
raid on the west of the Lao river to
point as far south as Liaoyang. Dur
ing the week the Japanese began a
severe bombardment of the famous
Lone Tree hill, and as siege guns had
been brought up from Port Arthur for
this purpose the fire was destructive.

WRECK IN MONTANA

Missoula, Mont. Feb. 23.-The east
bound Twin City express on the North
ern Pacific railroad crashed into the
rear of an eastbound freight train at
Plains Tuesday morning and several
persons were injured, two seriously.
The freight had pulled onto a side
track to allow the passenger to go by.
The caboose and the last car of the
freight weresleft part of the way on
the main line. Although the passen-
ger was running slowly the engine
carshed into the caboose with sufficient
force to knock it into kingling wood.
Two women from Missoula, Mrs. Mid
get Gilbert and May Wright, were in
thescaboose with Conductor Snyder and
Brakeman Murray when the crash
came. The Gilbert woman was picked
up from the pilot of the engine in a
serious condition, her spine being bad
ly injured and her body otherwise con-
fused. The Wright woman was cut
about the head and body and, it is
feared, sustained internal injuries.
Conductor Snyder had his right leg
broken in two places and received
other injuries which, it is feared, will
prove fatal Brakeman Murray was
injured about the head andl body and
complains of severe internal pains.
Three children in the first coach of
the express train were thrown from
their seats and bruised. They proceed
ed east while the four others were
brought here and are in the hospital.
Blame is attached to the freight crew
for not clearing the main line.

Terms OF PEACE

London, Feb. 23.-A dispatch to
Reuters Telegram company from ST..
Petersburg, confirming the Associated
Press advices of February II and 18,
from ST. Petersburg to the effect that
peace was unedr consideration, adds:
"The conditions under which Russia
is prepared to make peace have practi-
cally been agreed upon. These are as
follows:
"Korea to be plcaed under Japanese
suzerainty.
Port Arthur and the Liaotung PEN
insual to be seeded to Japan.
"Vladivostok to be declared a neu-
tral port, with an open door.
1.-THE eastern Chinese railroad to be
placed under neutral international adj
ministration.
"Manchuria as far north as Hardin
to be restored as an integral part of the
Chinese empire.
1.-THE difficulty lies in settling the
question of indemnity, upon which it
is known that Japan insists, but it is
thought that the difference is not insu.
perable.
1.-THE most trustworthy opinion al
st. Petersburg is that, in view of the
internal situation and the enormor {
difficulty inic AIRY on war, peace on TIE
terms above will be concluded within 8
comparatively short time if the indem'
nifty question can be arranged, but it il
quite possible that Russia will risk an

Yale Strike Breakers.

It is stated that about 200 Yale stu
dents have applied to the New York,
New Haven & Hartford railroad for
work as firemen and that many have
been accepted. 1t is believed that
1900 men have been engaged to fill the
places of firemen if the latter decide
to strike. Yale students will qualify
to act either as locomotive firemen or
engineers.
