BIG MINE FIRE
In the Copper District of Michigan in
Which Hundreds of Men Mar
roWIy Escaped Death.

Calumet, Mich Sept. 25.-Hundreds
of lives were endangered here in a
fire in the North Kearsarge branch of
the Osceola consolidated mine. The
fire broke out near the eighteenth lev
ell of No. 1 shaft. The alarm was
spread and the men left their work
and made rush for the drifts con-
Meeting with No 3 to the northward
through which they were hoisted to
the surface. The terrific heat of the
fire in No. 1 shaft parted the cable
attached to the cage which dropped to
the bottom of the mine with tremen-
dious force. Fortunately this gave the
alarm to the men working in the bot
tom levels, who had to climb 900 feet
to reach a drift connecting with No
shaft. Some of these men were
nearly suffocated by the gasses and
smoke. No. shaft is a mass of tim
bers between the twelfth and seven
teenth levels, where fire was supposed
to be raging. Both No / and No. 8
shafts have been sealed at the surface
to smother the fire.

WANT BETTER
BANKING LAWS

Springfield, ILL.,, Sept. 25.-Banking
reform is in the air. From all over
the state members of the Bankers as
sociation of Illinois are fiocking here
for their convention today. The
burden of comment is illinois bank
ing laws are a farce"
If the efforts of men who have been
active workers in the association for
many years can have any effect is 1t
almost foregone conclusion that the
convention will not adjourn until ac-
tion has been taken that will lead
directly to changes in banking prac'
tices throughout the state.

NO QUORUM
Likely to Be Present at Session of
Congress Friday-Reported
Troops Will Land Today.

Havana, Sept. 26.-It is the general
quorum at the extraordinary session of
congress Friday and that therefore
the designations of President Palma
and Vice President Capote will not be
acted upon. President Freye Andrade
of the house of representatives, in an
interview with the Publishers Press
correspondent, said tonight:
There is great indignation among
the Moderates regarding the American
commission proposing peace terms ia
voring the Liberals. The Moderates do
not sanction the action of the commits
sion in arranging terms favorable to
the revolutionary party and will not
attend the congress, leaving the alter
native of American Intervention or the
Liberals seizing the government. Since
the arrival of the American commits
sioners the revolutionary movement
has grown in strength"
Senior Andrade added that the in
crease in the numbers Of the insur-
gents is due to the report that the
peace terms included the payment OF
revolutionary soldiers A report, caus-
cd by the receipt by Secretary Taft
of cablegram from Washington, was
circulated tonight stating that Ameri-
can troops will land in Cuba today.
The members of the commission re,
fuse to either confirm or deny the re-
ceipt of such a cablegram.
