The Eldorado (Kan.) Republican tells
of a sufferer who has made a little
earthly god of the water cure. The
Republican says:

gizzard had collapsed, chased the springs

home than he took to drinking five Or
six glasses Of Walnut creek water be-
fore breakfast, and today he is the
most able-bodied sovereign on the

The story may we'll be partially true.

better fusher and builder-up than rum,

Importance of Great Russo-Amer.
lean AlIiance-Opposition Breaks.

ST. Petersburg, March 23.-The
sympathy of Emperor Nicholas, Pre-
mier Witte and other members of the
ministry, as we'll as of powerful in
fluences at court have been enlisted
by Baron Leieq De Lobel in the pro
ject of the can-trans-Alaskan-Si
berian company for the construction
of a tunnel under Behring strait from
the east cape to Kansk, and 5000
miles of railway to connect it with
the Siberian railway; and the oppo-
sition of portion of the bureaucracy,
which fought the scheme bitterly be-
cause the negotiations were conduct
ed over their heads, is breaking down.
The outlook for a favorable decision
is now bright. In addition to the
benefits which will accrue to the ma
ton by the development of the re-
sources of the present waste of north
eastern Siberia, the imperial family
owns an immense extent of land
which will be benefited. The nation
al defense committee also considers
the project as essential from a stra-
tegic point of view, and more import
attn still there is in the higher govern
ment spheres distinct disposition
to cultivate the United States as Rus
sia's natural ally in the far east. It
is believed that by interesting Ameri-
cans materially in Siberia, the polit-
ical ties between the two countries
will be strengthened. A statement to
this effect has been submitted by For
eign Minister Lamsdorff to the COM
mission which has been considering
the project, which statement really
amounts to an important declaration
of foreign policy.

Jams of the Episcopal diocese of MICH

4 am not a prohibitionist and do
not advocate the abolition of the Sd

have the opportunity to buy drink
liquor. Denial of that right and lib~

TIME SET FOR
THE HEARINGS

The initial hearing by the Wiscon-
sin railway commission on the 2-cent
passenger fare question will take
place on April 10, when the defense
OF the Chicago & Northwestern COM
pany to the order of the commission
for thatc ompany to show cause why
it should not give a 2-cent fare will
be heard.
The case against the Chicago, Nil
waukee &, st. Paul company will be
heard April II the hearing for that
company having been set in the same
order that fixes the time for the
Northwestern hearing. The order
against the Chicago, Minneapolis &
Omaha lines will be heard at the same
time as the order against the Chicago
& Northwestern line, the Chicago, st.
Paul, Minneapolis & Omaha company
being now considered as one Of the
integral branches of the Chicago &
Northwestern and the Chicago, Mil
Waukee & ST. Paul company hearings
are held.
The railway commission will hold a
hearing today on a complaint filed by
large number of residents of North
Fond du Lac asking that the Wiscon-
sin Central road be compelled to place
station at that point. 1t is said that
all the stop which Central trains
make at North Fond du Lac is at the
crossing with the Marshfield branch
of the Northwestern road, which is
some distance from the town of North
Fond du Lac and practically within
the limits of the city Of Fond du Lac,
A large number of the residents OF
North Fond du Lac will probably at
tend the hearing today to give
testimony as to the necessity of the
| Wisconsin Central company establish
! ing a station at this point.

The official stenographers OF the
house have reported so far this SEES
sion about 2,775.000 words, with the
session perhaps little more than hall
over. There is a busy, talking time 70
come, however, and the full bill will
probably be about 100000 words for
the session That is outside of the
committee hearings, which will be
more than half as much additional,
so that the house will have sent to the

been made by or to its members while

rooms approximately 100000 Woru5
The senate will easily double that, if
if does not exceed it, although the
senate often sits only four days Il
week, while the house is always busy
at least five days, and sometimes sits
on Saturday. That will be round
total of 100000 words thus uttered
at this session.

COMPROMISE SUGGESTED BY
PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
MIXED POLICE SYSTEM
French and Spanish Officials to Act
Jointly at All Ports of Morocco
Proposed as Final Solution of the
Great European ProbIem-Re-
newed Confidence Felt.

Algeciras, March 23.-Herr Won
Radowitz, senior German representa-
tive at the conference, was indisposed
yesterday, and as a consequence the
meeting of the delegates was post
poned until Saturday, when the new
Austrian police proposition will be
presented.
Ambassador White, Sir Arthur
Nicholson and Count Welsersheimb,
respectively American, British ana
Austrian delegates, were in conference
yesterday, but with what result has
not been made known. There is a
very decided impression, however,
that it was very satisfactory, and con
fidence is felt that the way is being
paved for an early agreement. 1t is
understood that the fresh Austrian
proposals formed the. subject of dis
cussion, and though the nature Of the
proposals has not been officially stat
ed it is believed that they contain a
revised suggestion for mixed police at
dill NOIOCCdH DOIlS, llCluuIAS3 casa
blanca. Thus, instead of French Off
GERS controlling four ports and Span
iards four, an equal number OF
French and Spanish officers will act
together at each port. Confidence
generally reigns that a solution will
be attained along these lines.
A mixed police scheme which will
be proposed by Ambassador White,
under instructions from President
Roosevelt, appears to be the solution
of the Franco-German controversy of
fering the greatest chance of success.
Mr.. White, not desiring to intervene
in a direct manner, conferred last
night with Count Welserscheimb, sen,
iOr Austrian delegate Delegates OF
other neutral powers show an inclina-
ton to accept the American scheme,
but it has not yet been decided
whether the Austrians will hold it in
their proposal or whether bir. White
will present it in the form of an
amendment.

Ireland never will rest until she OBJ

strongly in favor of reform, declaring
that if Ireland were given the same
facilities for education as England
the old feuds would be appeased.
James Bryce, new chief secretary
for Ireland, in behalf of. the govern
ment, made conciliatOry speech, ad-
hitting the existence of grievances.
He said the government had not had
time to formulate a policy, but the
matter had his constant attention and
he did not despair of finding a scheme
of reconciIing the conflicting inter
ests. The government, he added, also
was considering a scheme to promote
the study of the Gaelic language.
John Murphy, nationalist member
for the east division of Kerry, who
introduced the amendment raisins
the discussion, expressed satisfaction
with Mr.. Bryce's reply and withdrew

MINERS KILLED BY
GAS EXPLOSION

Fairmont, w. Va, Mar. 23.-An eX>
plosion of gas in the mine of the Cen
tury Coal company at Century, 50
miles south of here on the Phillip
& Buchannon branch of the Baltimore
q Ohio at 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon entombed at least $50 miners,
many of whom are believed to be
dead At o'clock last night Is were
taken from the mine, five of whom
were dead and the rest terribly in,
jured. A relief gang entered the
mine at $50 but since that time moth
ing can be heard from the accident
as the telephone wires have been put
out by the storms and no means of
communication are available.
A telephone message from Century
at 10 o'clock stated that six dead and
ten injured have been taken from
the mine at that time Superintendent
Ward at that hour stated that he did
not believe there were over 20 more
men dead in the mine. One hundred
and fifty of the $50 men employed
have been found on the outside, hav-
ing quit work before the explosion
occurred.
Later.
It is now known that fifteen men are
dead, 25 injured and 25 to rs missing
and believed to be dead as the result
of the explosion. Two rescue parties
who have entered the mine brought
out several dead and injured. The
rescue work will be continued
throughout the night. 1t is believed
that most of those killed are foreign
ers.
Immediately following the explo-
sion the officials began a. house to
house canvass to ascertain the num-
Der OF men to be found on the sur
face. This resulted in $50 miners
being found who had come out previ'
Gus to the explosion. 1t is believed
that there are many more outside
not vet accounted for If this is not
true there are still rs men in the
mine with little hope of their being
alive.
