EIGHTEEN MEN DEAD
DISASTER IN WEST VIRGINIA
MINE RESULTS IN HEAVY
LOSS OF LIFE.

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 19.-Eight.
cen men were killed by terrific dust
explosion in one Of the mines Of the
Detroit and Kanawha Coal company
at Detroit. on Paint creek, this county,
twenty-five miles from here. Every
man in the mine at the time of the
explosion was killed. All the bodies
have been recovered.
That more men were not in the
mine at the time Of the accident was
due to the fact that almost all of the
day men were eating their dinners on
the outside and thus escaped the fate
OF their comrades.
The force Of the explosion was SO
great that the hills trembled. Tons OF
wreckage and debris were hurled
from the mouth Of the mine. blocking
the entrance and making the work Of
rescue dificult.

EXTREME MEASURES.
MAY BE ADOPTED BY FRANCE TO
OBTAIN SATISFACTION FROM
VENEZUELA.

Washington, Jan 24-When M.
Jusserand, the French ambassador,
called during the afternoon on Secre-
tary Root to find out if there were any
adyictss from Caracas, the ambassador
had not been informed by his foreign
Office exactly on what day the squad
ron expected to arrive in Venezuelan
waters. Indeed, the foreign Office has
not as yet advised the embassy as to
the extent of the naval demonstration
plans. It is realized, it is pointed out
here, that simple blockade while har-
RAISING Venezuelan commerce might
not Impress President Castro with the
seriousness of the purpose of the
French government. 1t can be stated,
however, that the way is clear so far
as the Washington government is con-
cerned for France to adopt more ex-
treme measures and take possession
of custom house pending an adjust
ment with President Castro. It is ad-
mitted that any programme that may
be initiated must be tentative. as all
depends upon the attitude which
President Castro may assume, once
French warships are in Venezuelan
waters.
It is said here that something def
mite on the naval programme may be
expected within a few days. There
is a strong indication here that France,
In view of the Venezuelan treatment
Of M. Taigny, will omit to send to
Venezuela an ultimatum, but will pro-
ceed without this formality.

Will Fight Increased Valuation.


An interesting suit will come up
soon in the circuit court at Deadwood.
1t Will be brought by the taxpayers Of
Lawrence county against the state for
the purpose of effecting reduction of
taxes for the year 1905. At the annual
meeting of the state board of equaliza.
ton held at Pierre last August the
board increased the valuation as re-
turned by the county auditor on all
city and town realty in Lawrence
county l21a per cent. Lawrence county
feels that it has just cause for action,
as records show that its city realty is
paying on GO per cent greater valua-
ton than Sioux Falls realty and on a
S0O per cent greater valuation than
the Minnehaha agricultural lands.

General Cortelyou relative to a divi.
sion of the postofice appointments in
South Dakota as proposed by Senator
Gamble. Mr.. Gamble takes the posi-
ton that inasmuch as the delegation
no longer acts in harmony on ques-
tions of appointments that the state
should be divided into two districts,
Representatives Martin and Burke to
name postmasters in one district and
he to select them in the other. Post
master General Cortelyou has come to
no conclusion in the matter.

Provisions Follow Mainly the Original
Hepburn Bill, but a Number of Con-
cesstons Were Made to the Demo-
cats and Their Ideas as Contained
In the Davey Bill Were Freely In
corporated in the Perfected Measure.
Washington, Jan. 24.-After con-
ference lasting all the afternoon the
house committee on interstate and for
elgn commerce agreed upon a rate
bill to be known as the Hepburn bill
and to DO reported to the house with
the unanimous recommendation Of the
eighteen members of the committee.
In the main the bill is the original
Hepburn bill, but number of conces.
sions were made to the Democrats and
their ideas as set forth in the Davey
bill were freely incorporated in the
perfected measure.
Chairman Hepburn was congratu-
lated by all the members Of his CON-
mittee on the drafting of bill upon
which both parties could agree and
the members of the committee assert
confidence that the successful out
come OF their long conferences will
have marked effect upon the attitude
OF the senate toward the measure.
Mr.. Hepburn and the other Republi-
cans agreed to accept the wording Of
the Democratic bill in the provision
for the fixing of the maximum rate.
The amendment that was accepted
provides that the commission shall
fix a "just, reasonable and fairly re-
munerative rate, which shall be the
maximum rate.'
The amended bill also provides for
seven members of the interstate com.
merce commission instead of nine, as
was provided in the original Hepburn
bill. Another amendment incorporat-
ed at the request of the Democrats
provided that in cases where no dam
ages are asked the commission may
simply state its conclusions and need
not set forth its findings.
A section OF the Davey bill requir.
ing that the attorney general in ap-
peal cases shall file the certificate
necessary to expedite the hearing was
incorporated in the amended bill. An
other amendment provides that or
ders of the commission shall continue
In. force for three years unless re-
pealed.
No existing cases are to be affected
by the bill and all laws relating to
witnesses and the conducting of hear.
ings before the commission are to be
continued.
