a specific rate or practice Judging BY
past, determinations as to this traf-
fic may arise more frequently than
those now existing can be routed out
by thar method. As 10 no other i'm
portant traffic Is there an approach
to the monopoly Of the Standard Oil
in that Of oil. Under these conditions
It may become necessary to the up
roofing Of established wrongs and
the preventing Of others that the gov
eminent shall fix in the first instance
the rates and regulations for the
transportation Of this traffic. This
method has been adopted by the leg
islauire of one state. It probably will
be found necessary to disassociate in
the case Of oil, as in that Of other
commodities, the function Of trans
portation from that Of production and
distribution. What other remedies In
addition to those already provided 1t
may be necessary to prescribe can
be better determined in the near fu-
ture by the results Of experience In
administering the present law"

HEAVY LIVE STOCK LOSS.
Sheep and Cattle In the Northwest
Dleing by Thousands From Cold
And Starvation.

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. al. H.
Howells Of Minot, N. D., a leading buyer
Of cattle and sheep, declared here
Monday that the cattlemen Of the
Northwest would stand to lose more
than $1,001,00 by the severe winter.
He has made a tour Of inspection
along the transcontinental lines both
in the United States and Canada and
says the losses win not be so great in
North Dakota as in Alberta and Mon
tana.
In the Alberta country, aecodinrg to
Mr.. Howells, thousands Of cattle had
huddled together along the railroad
tracks and dead cattle were to be seen
Tor a hundred miles or more, lying 20
deep in some places. The same con-
ditions, he says, prevail is Montana.
Mr.. Howells says while in Harve,
Mont, last week q ranchman offered
him 10000 sheep for $4,000, which
last fall were worth $4,000. Sheep
were dying BY hundreds for want Of
food.
Last year Mr.. HoweIlS company
shipped out Of HarTe nearly 400 car Of
cattle, but this year It has been unable
TO get out q single car load.

MISSOURI LAWMAKERS.
The Walmslsy Game Law May DO
Amended and office OF Game
Warden Abolished.

Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 29.-The
house committee on fish and game
laws is expected to adopt substitute
for the Walmsley game law. A spe-
cial committee was appointed lasr
week to draft substitute bill and
the one that will be reported Is said
to be acceptable to both the house
and the senate. The substitute Will
provide for an open market season
for the sale Of game OF the same
length as the shooting season. The
substitute will also do away with the
office Of game warden.
Representatives Of the railroads are
beginning to conceed that they can
not prevent some action being taken
by this legislature on the question OF
freight rates. It Is reported they are
willing to have the bill pass II inter
state rhlpments are excluded from
its provisions.
There are numerous bills pending
tn abolish the contract system In the
state penitentiary and several Of them
provide that the convicts shall be re-
ouired to make supplies for the other
state institutions.
The house Monday afternoon in a
resolution introduced by Represesta-
tive sosey of Marion county, and ad-
opted, severely censured Chairman
Burton of the congressional river and

that he virtually ignored the Missis-
sippi river in recommending appropri'
atoms for harbors in Burton's dis
trict.

A NINE DISASTER
An Explosion Of Fire Damp Occurs
: While 600 Are at Work $500
Feet Underground.
NEAR SAARBRUCK PRUSSIA
About 200 Are Supposed to Be Dead
and Second Explosion May
Have Added More to the
List.

Saarbruck, Rhenish Prussia, Jan.
ga fire damp explosion occurred
Monday morning in the Reden Goa
mine at st. Johann-on-Saar, opposite
Saarbruck and caused the loss of from
$50 to 200 lives The mine is owned
by the Prussian government.
Up to 6 o'clock Monday evening n
bodies had been brought out, and sc
corpses were known to be underground
Only so men have been brought out
and Of these the doctors say at least
80 will die, as they are frightfully in
jured through having been hurled
against the walls of the galleries by
the force of the explosion.
An official report given out Mon
day evening says the number of dead
can not exceed 100.
Immediately after the explosion res
cue workers were hurried from all
the adjacent mines and boldly en-
tered the Reden shaft in great num-
befs.
The work Of rescue has been great
ly hampered by the poisonous gases
resulting from the explosion and by
fierce fire which broke out i'm
mediately afterwards This caused
efforts at rescue to be suspended and
the workers had to be ordered out Of
the mine.
After all the rescuers had reached
daylight, according to one version, a
second terrific defamation was heard
under ground. But according to an
other report many Of the rescuers
were still below when the second ex
plosion occurred, and 1t is estimated
that the casualty list from two ex-
plosions reaches a total of 300 men.
1t is regarded as certain that the
lowest levels of the mines are COM
pletely wrecked and the inspectors
are celebrating upon further meas
ires to get control of the fire. The
managers are discussing the advisa-
lility OF flooding these levels as the
,nly means Of extingulshing the
flames. 1t is believed that all the
men who are In the lower levels as
luredly are dead. It win take full
week to enter and explore the mine,
The disaster occurred 1890 feet I'M
