TAFT RETURNS HOME
Secretary Arrives at New York
After Trip Around World.
SAYS JkPs FAVOR PEACE

Trade Relations Between the Two
Countries, He Says, Is Alone suffi-
cient to Cause The Great Body Of
the People to Oppose War.
New York, Dec. z .-Secretary of
War Taft has arrived here on the
steamer President Grant after jour
ney around the world He was ac-
companied by Mrs. Taft and his son
Charles. When seen on board the
President Grant at quarantine Secre-
tary Taft said he was not prepared to
talk on any public questions.
II have been away from the United
States 120 days and SO do not feel
competent to discuss matters of Amer
lean public interest at this time," he
said. Absence from home has pre-.
vented me from keeping abreast OF
the current events. While the work
in the war Department has, Of course,
moved along in the usual way during
my absence there are many matters Of
large Importance which require my
personal attention. So l expect to
have my nose close to the grindstone
for some time to come"
Secretary Taft was met at Jersey
City by a party of newspaper men.
Japanese Not Offended
Referring to the departure of the
Pacific fleet the secretary said that
this subject had not been discussed
by the Japanese emperor and himself,
but that the feeling in the island ma
ton was that the maneuver was mere
ly test of the efficiency of the navy
and was not to be construed as any
thing even remotely akin to an I'M
friendly measure.
"The japanese people are strongly
in favor of peace" he went on. 81
can speak with emphasis on this mat
ter. Nothing but peace is to be eX-
pected. The trade relations between
the two nations is strong factor for
pacification. Of Japan's yearly eX-
ports of $16O,000,0o0 over one-third
comes to the United States Most of
their exports here are embroidery,
laces and artistic goods of all kinds
and this trade means livelihood to
great number of small traders on the
island. This, if nothing else, would
make the body of the nation oppose
any act of hostility"

Drinking and Riotng.
Jacobs Greek, Pa, Dec. 2 ,-But six
bodies have been removed from the
Darrr mine, the scene of Thurbday's
explosion Many more had BEEN To-
Gated and as the work of the reScuers
is progressing well, with the fans
working and no fire in the mine. it is
thought the recovery of all the bodies
is merely a matter Of hours Some
of the bodies are dismembereG and
mangled and all are distorted by the
agonies of violent death and disfig-
ured and begrimed by the conclusion
and the smoke and dust Of the explo-
sion.
The exact number of men entombed
when the explosion occurred is still
uncertain, but there is no reason to
change the earlier estimates of at
least 200. No other explanation than
that the explosion was due to gas has
been advanced.
Faint though it is hope is cherished
by rescuers and grieving friends and
relatives that some of the men may
have survived the explosion and are
awaiting release far back in the mine.
For this reason the rescuers did not
take time to bring out the bodies as
they were found but continually
pressed forward, their only aim be-
ing to as quickly as possible open a
passage to and explore every section
Of the mine.
Foreigners Celebrate Escape.
The foreign miners who escaped the
disaster made night hideous in the
little village. They had suspended
work because of the holiday and most
of them followed their usual holiday
custom of drinking to excess. Many
were intoxicated before the catas.

selves in worse condition, some drink,
ing in celebration Of their escape and
others drinking to drown grief over
the death of relatives or friends. All
night long there was carousing and
disorder, at times bordering closely
upon rioting.
The Pittsburg Coal company has ar
ranged to provide a Christian burial
for all of the victims and will bear all
expenses connected with the funerals.
It is believed that a majority of the
victims are Americans.
The rescuers report the interior of
the mine badly damaged AS they adj
vance they are compelled to rebuild
much Of the bracing that was blown
out and great deal of bratticing is
necessary to make possible the ven
tilation Of the remote sections There
Is shortage Of many of the supplies
needed for such conditions and the
work of rescue will of necessity pro-
gress slowly The distance from the
mouth of the mine to the most re-
mote sections is said to be about
three miles and 1t is thought that
many of the bodies will be found near
the end of the workings

 It appears that the carrjere rates on cotton piece goods from New England niiis tisrouxh Pacific coast points to the Orient is siL26 for forty cukic 9eet of measured space, equivalent to about S6 cents per hundred pounds, through rates on the same articaes iron, Southern mills over tho same route is SIPS per hundred pounds
 The Commission stated that the evil dencs of complainants strongly tended to show that an Illegal agreement to advance rates on cotton piece goods was entered into by trang-continental lines and that the advanced rates were put in in consequence of that agree ment but 1t does not pass upon that question because if 1t was answered in favor Of the complainant, ,ste e0lnmis- sion would stlli bs of the opinion that this would afford no ground for either reducing the rate from Southern mills or awarding reparation. The mere fact that the advance was the product Of an unlawful combination. says the Commission, will not justify tf fn sek- ting aside such rate if the Commis- sion is of the opinon that the rate is not unreasonably higher.
