FACTS AND FANCIES.

(From the Public Ledger, Philadelphia)
Delegates to the Douma have been af-
fronted by the Gear, but seem to forget
that they affronted him first by the
mere fact of being delegates.
H. C. Wells says there will be an
American Shakespeare. Mr.. Wells is
famed for the richness of his magma

New York strikers continue to mob
funerals, and some Of them are likely
to attend one of these functions in a
capacity purely passive.
A woman, advocating peace, speaks
of the soldier as a licensed murderer.
Doubtless she is sincere, but some ad-
vocates of the abolition of war can
be this and talk sense, too.
1t is feared that the hot air associat-
ed with the proposed balloon trip to
the North Pole will be found to lack
buoyancy.
When a colored prisoner in New York
attempted to escape from a policeman
he was shot at by pedestrians, auto
mobilists and equestrians, and doubt
less had any of the Aero Club been
afloat he would have been bombarded
from the clouds. Apparently, the New
York gentlemen does not so far forget
himself as to venture forth unarmed.

might be expected to keep better than

APPALLING DISASTER OCCURS
IN A CoLLIERY IN WEST
VIRGINIA.
Gas Explosion Is the Cause Twenty
Three Men Known to Be Dead .
Bodies of ALI But One Have Been
Recovered Heroic Rescue Work.

49, ) i r d .
Fairmont, w. Va, March 23.-Twen.
Sty-three men are known to be dead,
Is injured and several missing and
believed to be dead as the result Of an
explosion Of gas in the shaft Of the
Century Coal company at Century, a
small mining town situated SO miles
south of Fairmont, on the Belington &
Buckhannon branch OF the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad. The explosion took
place at 4:3O Thursday afternoon, but
owing to the telephone wires being put
out of commission by the high winds
details are lacking.
Rescuers at Work
The Century mine, which is Owned
by Shaw Bros, of Baltimore, Md, is
one of the largest independent opera
tons in northern West Virginia Over
$50 men are employed daily in the
shaft, and had the explosion been an
hour earlier the loss of life would have
been appalling. AS it was, there were
but a few remaining in the shaft, the
main body of the miners having quit
work for the day. The giant fan which
furnishes air for the shaft was partial
~ wrecked by the force of the explos-
ion, but was repaired Immediately and
within an hour after the accident SUI
perintendent James Ward had a relief
gang in the mine. The first trip out
brought ten men-fve dead and five
badly burned. They were found in the
main heading, near the bottom of the
shaft. The living could give no details
of the explosion, saying that they were
on their way to the surface when the
explosion took place behind them
A second expedition Immediately
went down and explored the main
heading, which was found to be unin-
jured by the explosion, except that the
brattices were blown out. Four more
bodies were found in this heading and
20 injured men were making their way
toward the bottom of the shaft and
brought to the surface by the rescuers.
The families of the dead, wounded
and missing men gathered quickly at
the opening and the pathetic scenes al
ways witnessed at such accidents were
enacted. Several foreign women in
sisted upon going into the mine and
were only prevented from boarding the
cage by force. Many of the women
were still lowering about the opening
at midnight, refusing to go into the
camp store or other places to escape
| the biting cold.
Twenty-Five bodies have been recov-
| cred. The bodies recovered were torn
and mangled and in many cases burned
| from head to foot, making the work
of Identification very hard.
1t has been determined that the ex-
| plosion was caused by the igniting
Of the dust in the mine. Tho dust
was fired by the sparks from charge
of powder, which was exploded to
bring down the overhanging coal

SITUATION is GRAVE
GERMANY ABSOLUTELY REJECTS
FRENCH PROPOSALS FOR Po.
LIcING OF MOROCCO.

Farls, Feb. 20-Germany's rejection
OF frances proposals at Algeciras that
the proposed Moroccan police system
Shall be French and Spanish has
given renewed gravity to the Franco
German situation. It is officially an
nounced that Germany's action leaves
France no course but to terminate the
private negotiations and appeal to the
judgment of the world before the open
conference. This decision suspends
the meetings between NJ. Revolt, head
OF the French mission at Algeclras,
and Herr Won Radowitz, chief Of the
German delegation, at which they have
been seeking to find an accord. The
neutral powers, including the United
States. strongly approved of these pri-
vate exchanges as being the best
means of avoiding an open discussion
OF the controversy. The failure to
agree and Frances determination to
end the private negotiations bring the
parties to a deadlock. This promises
to result in prolonged crisis, in
which each side maintains the posi-
tion which it took up before the open
conference. The sentiment in official
circles is that Germany's reply tends
to destroy the usefulness of the con-
ference by making an agreement i'm
possible. It is expected that the
strained situation will have the effect
of renewing the alarmist war reports
and Of arousing public apprehension.

MENDArIoN OF THE 18TH

Washington, Feb. 2O.-President
Roosevelt has transmitted to congress
the report of the board of consulting
engineers on the Panama canal, to-
gether with the letter of Secretary
Taft, the report of the isthmian canal
commission and letter by Chief En-
gineer Stevens. The letter of the pres
tdent, in part, is as follows:
II submit herewith the letter of the
secretary of war, transmitting the re-
port of the board of consulting engi.
neers on the Panama canal and the
report of the isthnlian canal commits.
sion thereon, together with letter
written to the chairman of the 18TH
milan canal commission by Chief Engi-
neer Stevens. Both the board of con-
sulting engineers and the canal COM
mission divide in the report. The
majority of the board of consulting
engineers, eight in number, including
the five foreign engineers, favor sea
level canal; and one member of the
canal commission, Admiral Endicott,
takes the same view. Five Of the eight
American members Of the board Of
consulting engineers and five men,
bers Of the isthmian canal commission
favor the lock canal and so does Chief
Engineer Stevens. The secretary Of
war recommends LOCK- canal pursuant
to the recomm endation of the minority

The president cites the fact that the
Sault Ste. Marie canal, lock canal,
is the greatest traffic canal in the
world, and is a success, and augurs
well for the success of a lock canal on
the Isthmus.
