John Honey. one Of the employees at
the state House. has souvenir Of the
CivilsTVar that. while its intrinsic value
would not be very much. could hardly
he purchased of him for money. Mr..
Honey was a member of the 9Th Maine
Vols, which after going to the front
became a part of First Brigade Of the
Third Division of the Sixth Army
Corps, and which saw plenty of fight
ing. and the souvenir which he has is
a small diary which he had with him
during that time. In this book he got
many of his comrades i'm arms to write
their names and addresses and these
he carried all through the war. keep
ing a record. and whenever one of those
whose names were in the book was
wounded or killed it was recorded.
There are some pretty well known
names in that little book. among them
being Winfield Scott Hancock. major
general United States army, COM
handing the I'd Army Corps. Another
was Gideon Clark. lieutenant colonel
commanding the 10th Pennsylvania
Vols. also Lieut.. Col. Theo. Il. Catlin
of the 9Th Wisconsin. Among the
names of comrades from home was
that of Hiram Rurnham of Cherryfield,
colonel of the 9th Maine Vols, Major
Fuller of the same regiment. whose
home was in East Corinth. and Moses
J. Kelly of Liberty. chaplain of the
regiment. These are but few of the
names in the book, and while perhaps
they might means but little to the
average reader. they are to the owner
Of the book among his most cherished
possessions.

Paris. March IA mining catastro-
phe Of incalculable horror and magni-
tnde, resulting in the death of 100
miners, has stricken the great coal
center az Northern France. An explo-
sion Of fire damp at 7 o'clock Saturday
morning carried death and destruc-
tion throughout the network of coal
mines centered at Courrieres. and fire
followed the explosion, making rescue
ditiicnlt and almost impossible.
The catastrophe took place shagtly
after 1875 men had descended There
was q deafening explosion. which was
followed by the cages and mining APP
paratus being hurled from the mouth
Of the Courrieres mine. Men and
horses nearby outside the mine were
either stunned on killed. The roof of
the mine Office was torn on.
Immediately following the explosion
flames burst from the mouth Of the
pit, driving back those who sought to
enter and booming those within.
The whole Of the region stands
appalled, az the terrible tragedy, which
has brought sorrow to 5000 fathers,
mothers. wives and children.
The last great mine disaster in
France occurred III 1885. when 2e3 per
sons we're killed and so injured: but
that and gil others sink into insig-
ntilcance before Courrieres.

FATHER GAPON IS ARRESTED
QUEER ACTION IN CONNECTION
WITH RUSSIAN GRAFT
REVELATIONS.

st. Petersburg. March IA. = Father
Gapon was arrested yesterday on the
eve of the inquiry. demanded by him.
into the scandal involved in the charge
that his labor organization was sub,
sidized by the government.
NJ. Timiriazeff, minister of com
merce, in an interview, exonerates Fr.
Gapon from all blame, declaring that
he is an idealist and man of force,
and acquitting him of receiving any
of the money given by the government
to M Matushenski, Gapon's former as
sistant.
Nevertheless, his enemies intimate
that Gapon arranged the arrest be-
cause he feared revelations and de-
sired to throw dust in the eyes of his
followers by giving himself the APP
pearance of being prosecuted by the
Union County courier. [volume] (Elk Point, Union County, D.T. [S.D.]) 187?-1913, 1906-03-15
thursday.

Washington, March g. - The house
yesterday passed the Indian appropria.
ton bill, carrying s7,7s5.52s. 1t then
proceeded to tangle itself up over the
bill to abolish the grade of lieutenant
general in the army. The result was
an adjournment for lack of a quorum
after members had been locked in the
hall for half an hour and the assistant
sergeant-at-arms had been scurrying to
the various hotels in search of mem
beers. The vote to consider the bill
showed an overwhelming sentiment in
its favor, and as it is the pending
business under call of committees, 1t
will probably be reached and passed
in due course.
Yesterday afforded the last oppor-
tunity for general debate in the senate
on the statehood bill and the entire
time of the session was devoted to
that order of business. The whole
time was occupied by three senators,
Mr.. Beveridge, supporting the bill, and
Messrs. McCumber and Patterson OPP
posing it.

- Resume of the Weeks
Proceedings.
Wednesday.

washington, March S.-That there
is still sharp difference OF opinion be-
tween the supposed friends of the Dol
liver-Hepburn railway rate bill was
made decidedly manifest yesterday
The division is over the question
whether a rate made by the inter
state commerce commission shall be
suspended by the courts pending fnal
adjudication, and was brought to the
surface in brief debate which fol
lowed a set speech by Mr.. Clapp in
support of the bill. In reply to q
question by Mr.. Tillman, Mr.. Clapp ex-
pressed doubt as to the power so to
legislate as to enforce penalties pro-
posed by the bill pending review OF
any given findings by the courts. Mr..
Tillman and Mr.. Bailey took sharp is
sue with this statement. During the
day there were two speeches on the
rate bill, the one by Mr.. Clapp in sup
port of it and another by Mr.. Scott in
opposition.
With six set speeches and permits
sion to print two others in the Record
without delivery, no two of which were
on the same subject, the house
closed general debate on the Indian ap-
preparation bill and to-day will take
that measure up for amendment.

Tuesday.

Washington. March 13-There was
sharp division Of opinion In the
senate yesterday over the question
whether the Tillman- Gillespie resolu-
sion instructing the interstate com.
merce commission to inquire into the
railroad holdings Of coal and oil lands
was OF character justifying the presi-
dents message regarding it. Senator
Tillman complained that the president
had charged congress with insincerity.
pretence and ignorance, and Senators
Lodge and Spooner took the position
that the charge Of ignorance was war
ranted. The debate was spirited but
was Interrupted at O'clock when the
railroad bill was called up and Senator
Culbers0n made two hours legal ar
gument in which he supported a bill
of his own which he had introduced as
. substitute for the. pending house
bin.
The house devoted its attention To
legislation for the District OF Colum-
bia yesterday.
