REPUBLICAN ADVICE.

A small but very interesting little
paper is being published at Columbus,
called the Independent Republican. Its
object is to encourage rank and file
Republicans in the stand they have
taken against the Dick Foraker Cox
machine rule. The paper is largely
made up of the editorials in Republi-
can papers, the editors of which do
not believe in the Ohio machine. A
reproduction from the Republican is
herewith attached II is from the San
dusky Register, edited by veteran
Republican of the civil war. The Reg
lister says:
"It is pretty tough on candidates to
say that the only way to get rid of
such a man as Dick is to defeat his
ticket at the polls, but if he controls
the convention that means that he will
name the candidates and there are a
hundred thousand Republicans in Ohio
who will vote against the ticket. We
regret that there is such feeling but it
is not the fault of the Republicans of
Ohio who will bolt the ticket that the
feeling exists. 1t is the fault of the
machine ITSELF"
For years back the Register has
been battling for clean politics in Ohio
and is to be commended for the stand
it has taken. Last fall it aided large
ly in the defeat of the state machine
and it will also lie a factor in punish
ing the machine again this fall. In
its attack on the machine of the state
it is Loyalty supported by Erie county
Republicans.

QUEEN OF BATTLESHIPS.
The New Jersey Maintains Her Fine Speed
Record

Boston, (SpeciaD The performance
of the battleship New Jersey in main
tanning a speed of 1918 knots an hour
in a four-hour endurance test off the
New England coast, coupled with her
remarkable speed over a measured mile
at Rockland Me-, at a Io.4S-knot-
hour gait, places this product of the
Fore River Shipbuilding Company at
the head OF all American battle
ships, so far as speed is concerned.
1t was ascertained on her Standard
cation trial off Rockland that an aver
age revolution of her propelle.s Of
1858 per minute was sufficient to drive
the I5,ooo-ton battleship through the
water at her contract speed of 10 knots
an hour Thursday her average revolu-
tons per minute reached I262o7, and
from these figures she made an average
of 1918 knots an hour, compared with
1901 made by the Rhode Island, and
10 by the Virginia, siste: ships, at their
trials, a few months ago.
At one time the New Jerseys speed
reached 1928 knots an hour for a
period of Is minutes, while her lowest
for a similar period was 1860.
The weather conditions were favor
able, although in these endurance trials
the condition of the wind and sea do
not figure, the only question being as
to whether the vessel is able to maintain
the required number of revolutions a
minute

MILLION DESTITUTE JAPANESE.
Complete Crop Failures Throughout Several
Provinces.

Toxic, (By Cable).-The latest sta
tistics procurable from the three prefec-
lures most heavily affected by the famine
are as follows:
Fukushima-A complete failure of the
crops over two-thirds of the whole cul-
tivated area. The sufferers number 49,
598, out of total population of 1,I7o,o5S.
Miyago-A complete crop failure at
fects nearly the whole cultivated area.
The sufferers number 284,8o5, out of a
population of 8So,792.
Iwate-A total failure of the crops over
nearly two-thirds of the whole cultivated
area The sufferers number $780, 1872, out
of population of 74o,o2z
The sufferers here mentioned are only
those requiring immediate relief in the
matter of food and clothing The other
prefectures are also more or less affected,
especially Gun1na The total number OF
sufferers calling for aid exceeds 1000, 600.
Assistance, both private and official, is
active, but entirely inadequate to the ne
cessities of the OCCASION

This includes the union men, the large
number of boys ineligible for membership
and the men who are not members OF the
union, but who are expected to remain
idle as long as the union men.
This leaves 1900 men who are permit
ted to continue at work to prevent the
mines from flooding.
The gates of the collieries were lnvlt-
ingly open, but no one passed through
them except the men required to keep
the colieries from being damaged and
the fire bosses, foreman and other petty
officials of the companies. The whistles
blew at the usual time, but the only
miners in sight were those who in their
home clothes were posted as pockets
about the streets leading to the colller1es.
If they expected to use moral suasion
to prevent men trying to mine coal they
were not busy, for there was no occasion
to do so. Later in the day men visited
the colleries freely to turn in the time OF
their labors SO that the accounts for the
past two weeks could be made up The
company officials did not question these
miners as to whether or not they wanted
to work, and the union officials did not
watch to see whether they returned from
the collieries.
Only one case Of violence was reported.
Early in the morning someone threw a
large stone over the fence of a colliery
of the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, at
Duryea. 1t struck Waterman on the
head and knocked him senseless. Other
watchmen ran to the gates, but,there was
no one TO be seen
In the effort to impress the minework-
ers with the vigilance of the state
mounted police Capt ]. w. Page ordered
a squad of 10, under command of Sec
ond Sergeant Jesse S. Garwood, and
these men made the tour of the collieries
embraced in the region between Pittston
on the north and Willkes-Barre on the
south, and on each side of the river.
Nowhere did they see any violence,
and the only untoward incident occurred
when two troopers were passing through
a crowd in small mining town. One
man jumped forward and begun cursing
them. His companions pulled him back
roughly, crying
Shut up, you fool Don't you know
they are the state police ?"
Everywhere the men, with the long
clubs they carry and the army revolver
in their belts, attracted attention and
comment.

LIVE WASHINGTON AFFAIRS
Changes In immigration Biz.

Senator Dillingham; submitted the re-
port of the Committee on immigration
on his bill amending the immigration
laws. The changes made in the present
law are numerous. The head tax on IN
coming aliens is increased from $2 to Us,

some or contagious diseases.
The bill adds to the classes OF aliens
now excluded by law all imbeciles, tee
ble-minded persons, persons who are
mentally or physically defective, such de-
feet being of nature which may affect
the immigrants ability to earn living !;
children under II years, unless accom-
panied by parents and strengthens the
provisions excluding polygamists, crimi-
nails and prostitutes. Z.
The head tax is imposed on aliens IN
transit, except in certain cases, and IS
abolished in the case of foreign officials
coming to the United States overland
The bill further provides that steamship
companies be required to furnish lists Of
all outgoing aliens before departure from
the United States.
To aid in promoting the distribution
of admitted aliens among the states and
territories desiring settlers the bill estab-
fishes division of information in the
Bureau of Inauguration. Information

HIS HEART HAD SLIPPED.
Unusual Experience Of Hungarian Who Dice
of Pleurisy.

Buffalo, N. Y, (SpeciaD ANDREW
Joe, Hungarian, 40 years old, died at
his home, in North Tonawanda, after
having lived for several weeks with his
heart shifted to the right side. Death
was not due to the unusual location Of
the organ, for the heart performed its
functions in a normal manner, but to
pleurisy This disease caused an accu-
mutation of pus, and it is believed that
the collecting of this pus forced the
heart from the left to the right side
of the chest. An operation was per-
formed at the Buffalo General Hospital
two weeks ago TO remove the pus, but
is was unsuccessful. Had he lived, the
physicians say, his heart would have
given him no trouble; neither would it
have shifted back to its normal position.

ESCAPE FROM
A BLACK TOMB
Terrible Experience Of a Number OF
French Miner
OTHERS ARE ALIVE in THE PIT.
Indignation Among the FAMILIES Of the Lost
Miners at The Failure 10 Search the Col.
Iierles More TboroughIy-FOr Days the
Survivors Never Closed Their Eyes AMI
Lived Upon horsemeat and Hay.

Lens, France (By Cable). - Thirteen
of the 1900 miners who were entombed
in the coal Jnines at Courrieres 20 days
ago were taken from the mine alive
and we'll Friday They had lived on hay
found in one of the underground sta
bles and the morsels of food which they
took into the mine with them nearly
three weeks ago. All attempts TO rescue
the entombed men had been abandoned
more than two weeks ago. Five or SIX
others are believed to be alive in the
mine.
A gang or salvagers had just completed
their nights work when they were
startled to see group of miners. terri
bly, haggard and exhausted and with
eyes sunken, appear form remote part
of Pit No. g. The strongest OF the party
said they had broken out OF a distant
gallery, where they had been entombed
since the disaster.
The rescued men were taken up the
elevator, but were unable to see, owing
to the dazzling daylight. They all asked
for news of relatives and friends and
wished to home Immediately.
The doctors, however, prevented them
with difficulty from SO doing. Later
crowds besieged the mines in the hope
of hearing of further escapes, necessitat-
ing the employment of strong police
force and attachments of troups to main
tain order
1t is said that others of the entombed
miners are alive and about to be brought
out, their signals having been heard.
One of the men rescued, a man named
Nemy, said that for the first eight days
the party ate the bark off the timbering
of the mine Later they found the de-
composed body of a horse, which they
cut up and ate with hay. The Survivors
brought up portions of the decomposed
horse meat.
Neamy, who was the most lucid OF the
miners who escaped, graphically describ-
ed their imprisonment as follows:
"After the explosion l grouped my
way about, stumbling over bodies and
seeking refuge from the gases. l found
some comrades sheltered in remote
niche. We ate earth and bark for eight
days, and then these provisions gave out.
1--WE continued to groupe among the
bodies seeking for an outlet from our
prison, but were forced back time and
time again. We found some hay, which
we ate, and two days after we found a
dead horse, which we cut up and ate with
the hay and bark. We suffered most
from want of water. Finally, we became
desperate and separated into three par
ties and communicated with each other
by shouts. ;,
Last night we felt draft of fresh
air, which finally guided us to an open
ing"
The families of the miners are intense
ly indignant. They claim that salvage
operations were never undertaken in the
part of the mine from which Neny and
his companions escaped, and disorders
are expected The most severe repres-
sive measures have been taken. Crowds
of women denounce the directors and en-
gineers, crying: IF you had given us
tools we would have saved our own hus-
hands 4"
