himself as coal dealer he was 50
industrious that he was willing to
haul coal at ) O'Clock at night. 1t

dealer secured his stock from the
Rock Island while the company
wasn't looking. When questioned
by the city attorney Mansfield told
marvellous story and he. appeared
to have poorer memory than even
Henry NJ. Rogers. He didn't know
whose horse he was using, where
he got it or h3w long he had had
it. His case was continued till this
afternoon to give him chance to
readjust his equilibrium. He was

THE FRENCH MINE DISASTER
Later Reports Make the Calamity
More Appalling

Paris, March I2.-The worst
fears as to the enormity of the
mine disaster in the Courrieries dis
trict Of the Pas de Calias Saturday
morning have been realized. The
death list numbers I, 100 and the
whole of the region stands appalled,
at the terrible tragedy, which has
brought sorrow to 5000 fathers,
mothers. wives and children.
the last great mine disaster in
France occurred in 1855 when 2o3
persons were killed and eighty in
jured, but that and all others sink
nto iHsignifcance before Cour-
rieres.
The vast mortuary camp is under
military guard, 400 soldiers having
arrived there to assist in holding in
check the crowds OF distracted
mourners. For time, hope had
been held out to the people that
tappings on pipesby the imprisoned
men had been heard, but gradually
this hope vanished and the people
demanded admission to see the
bodies and even threatenened to
break through the Gordon of troops
who had the greatest difficulty in
keeping the crowds from the pit.
One man named Sylvestre sue
ceeded in entering the mine. but he
never returned. 1t is believed he
CROPPED about inside until he was
overcome by gas and perished.
1t is reported that a rescue party
numbering forty, has been cut of
by the caving in Of one Of the gal
leries.

of the house, that the members Of
the house are inc -nsed at the action
of the senate not only on the state
hood bill, but on other measures
passed. by the house which have
been receil ed with disapproval by
the senate.
When Speaker Cannon was ask
ID if, in his opinion, there would
be statehood legislation by this CON
gress, he said, vehenently;;
go ask Aldrich, Burrows and
company. They seem 10 want to
be running things. SO far as I am
concerned 80 far as my vote
goes the legislation will proceed
along the usual lines. The bill
will be sent to a conference be-
tween the two branches. Do they
think the house vas born in the
wood to be scared by an OWL"
Mr.. Watson was positive the
house would not concur in the Sc
nate amendment bill.
''The house will stand pat" he
declared. "The senate had kicked
out our Philippine bill, has tried to
emasculate the rate bill and has cut
the life out of the statehood bill.
Do you think the house will

of the House will be called for
Wednesday evening for the pur-

Statehood insurgents are REBEL

to bind them. There seems to be
a general understanding that the
so-called insurgent members will
not attend the caucns.

CARTER'S TART
REPLY TO THE
ROBINSON LETTER
He Says That Judge Robinson Was Carrying
Out Threat to Embarrass His Admins

mail Special to the Advertiser.p


WASHINGTON, D. c., July 90
There is another instalment to the
story of the quarrel between Circuit
Judge W. j. Robinson and Gov. George
r. Carter, They are at odds over the
administration of the land laws of Ha-
waii and have been plugging away at
one another through letters addressed
TO Washington. How much there is in
the new controversy, growing out of
Gov Carriers withdrawal of his en-
dorsement of Judge Robinson last WIN
Ter because of the whisky bottle in
proximity to the jury room, readers of
the Advertiser are left to decide for
themselves.
In any event Judge Robinson wrote
a letter here last April condemning in
temperate but nevertheless forcible
terms the present methods of admins
tering the land laws of Hawaii and ad-
vocating the adoption of the general
land laws of the United States with
some notifications as to the quantity
of land that could be taken as home
stead
His letter was addressed to Senator
Perkins. of California. and it is an open
question whether Judge Robinson ex-
pected it would eventually find its way
back to Gov. Carter. But Senator Per-
kins referred the letter to the Depart
1nent of the Interior and Secretary
Hitchcock referred it to Gov. Carter

Promotion Committee
Takes First Step in
the War.

| The Promotion Committee has enlist
| ed in the war against the offensive bill
| boards. At the weekly meeting of the
| Committee yesterday the matter came
up for discussion as the regular order
of business, and Mr.. Spalding opened
the talk at the conclusion of which it
was determined to write and ask the
cooperation of the Merchants Associa-
tion and the Chamber of Commerce, and
then to bend the best efforts of the
Promotion Committee to the finding of
a remedy for present conditions in
Honolulu.
nuisance was a very live issue with the
improvement clubs, as well as with the
Promotion Committee. The improve
ment clubs had discussed a remedy, and
there had been two proposed. One of
these was the boycott, but that was not
altogether expedient That is, there
were legal difficulties in the way, and it
was difficult to get united action. The
only way to avoid the legal complica-
tion was to inaugurate an individual
boycott, and the people could not be
stirred up to that.
The other way was in the enactment
of a law by the Legislature, similar to
the New Jersey statute, to which the
attention of the Promotion Committee
had been called. If such law as that |
statute could be passed, and vigorously |
enforced, the desired end might be |
reached and the billboards done away |
with.

letter, charges that Judge Robinson has
informed him that she proposes to
make as much trouble as possible for
my administration with the Washing
ton authorities
The Interior Department is apparent
ly oblivious of the judicial quarrel be-
tween the Judge and the Governor,
growing out of the question of patron
age last January. However it sides
with Gov. Carter in the matter of pub
lie land administration, or as far as can
be determined it does. Gov. Carter
wrote asking whether the correspond
ence could be given out with propriety.
The Department is of the opinion that
in the present case it can properly be
made public.
