Coal Mine Disasters of Recent Occur renee Causing Loss of So Many Lives, Prompted IntrOduc-
 ton of Measure.

Washington, Dec. I9.-Coal mine dis asters of recent occurrence causing the loss of 500 lives prompted the intro- duction into the House today by Mir. McHenry of Pennsylvania. bill ITO supply relief and alleviate suffering" Incident thereto"
 The bill provides for the establish ment in the Department of Commerce and Labor of a Bureau of Mines and Mining whose duty 1t shal be to in- vestigate all coal mine accidents and supply monetary relief to sufferers out of fund to be created by a tax of one cent a ton on all coal mined in the United States.
 By A bill introduced by Mir. Clark of Florida, 1t is provided that after July 1. 1908. there shall be levied a tax on Egyptian and long staple cot ton in the lint of 10 cents per pound and in the seed of cents per pound.

President Roosevelt has asked for more information regarding conditions here forth with. and tele- grams are being sent to him from all of the civic organizations, the Mine owners Association. the local miners union and the Commission to investi- gate the situation.
 Attorney O. N. Hilton, special coun- sel for the Western Federation of Miners. conferred today with the Exec utive Committee of the local miners union over a proposition to be present ed to the mine owners. Just what this proposition is. cannot be ascertained. but that it will be anything that the mine owners will care to accept is doubtful. as 1t will not contain a prom ise to renounce the Western Fedora tion of Miners and to act independent Iy. The mines and mills were operated today with practically the same num- Der of men as yesterday.

 fiuence of America and Japan in the Far East would be enormous and par amount. Surely this voyage Of the American fleet and the attitude of Ja- pans people now. and in the event Rear Admiral Evans decides 10 visit Japan. will stop the ridiculous talk of war or unfriendliness upon the part of Japan's people"
 Marquis Katsura's View.
 The forme Premier. Marquis Kat sura, one of the most prominent and active politicians in Japan. and who wieided immense influence in the present cabinet said:
 ''The dispatch of the American fleet gives me no cause for surprise. Our whole people feel the same way. that the American fleet has been sent to the Pacific, where American interests de- mand the presence of a navy suf- ficientiy adequate for the protection of those in this. Its coming should cause Japan no uneasiness. as the United States is so friendly
 Possibly the dispatch of the fleet is intended as a movement toward naval extension. or 1t may have some thing to do with international progress. I certainty entertain no fear that it is directed against the Japanese but for the purpose of strengthening the Republican party in the coming cam- paign."

INSURANCE MEN ADJOURN.

Louisville. Ky, Dec. 19-The Nation al Association of Insurance Commis- sioners which has been in session for two days. discussing valuation and tax ation of insurance company securities, adjourned today after unanimously adopting the report of the Committee on Valuation appointed yesterday.
 The following plan for arriving at a proper formula for computing the value of securities owned by insurance companies was adopted:
 The Committee on Valuation will add the market quotations of the first day of each of the twelve months of 1907 and of the 31st day of December. 1907, and divide the total by thirteen, thus securing an. average valuation of the securities for that year. Each of the thirteen daily quotations will itself be an average of the opening. closing, high and low market prices for such day"
 The Valuation Committee will meet in New York as soon as possible after January 1, 1908. employing appraisers for the work.

 ARE KILLED
Large Supply of Dynanl-

A Panic Instantly Ensued, Followed by Rush to the Scene of the Disaster by Troops and
 Eiremen.

Palermo. Sicily, Dec. 19--A terrific explosion occurred this evening in the military powder magazine. where & large quantity of dynamite was stored and was followed by a number of les- ser explosions. the whole town being badly shaken and the people thrown in- to a panic.
 Almost immediately flames shot high in the air and spread to the ruins of houses that had fallen, adding greatly to the peoples terror
 It is estimated that about twenty i've persons were killed and hundred oth- CTS injured. Troops were ordered out to aid the firemen in clearing away the wreck and succoring the wounded
 Several houses that stood above the magazine partially collapsed and their destruction was completed by the fire. One of these was an emigrant's lodging house and a number of emigrants were killed.
 The explosion did considerable dam age throughout the city among the buildings thus suffering being the his torical Mazarin palace, where it Is said the great Cardinal Jules Mazarfn was born The palace contains valuable art collection and was visited by King Edward when he was here recently.

It Is claimed that this was done every day between June 6. 1906. and Decem- Der 19 1907. making q total loss to the company of $a,3S2.s3. It is claimed that 1t cost the Traction Company $6.02 an hour for the power company to run this storage battery.
 These items are given in the petition evidently to show where the s55,20404 is due the Traction Company. but aside from the fact that there are sev- en counts named in the petition for the whole amount
 The document is quite lengthy as 1t goes Into detail on every point. It takes up in full the consolidation of the Montgomery Street Railway Com pany and the Montgomery Sururban Street Railway Company. It is shown in the petition that through this mer- ger the newly formed company took the charter of the Montgomery Street Rail way Company. assumed all of its liabil- ities and agreements. and that the con- tract with the Montgomery Light and Water Power Company stood the same after the merger than it did before. When R. J. Chambers. Vice President anu Ieuorai Mdudser oI tfio aoHtSota- cry Light and Water Power Company, was seen by The Advertiser last night. he said:
 "The Montgomery Light and Water Power Company denies any indebted ness to the Traction Company whatever. It is an imaginary paper claim and doubtless the result of a written no- tice given the Traction Company about thirty days ago to the effect that the failure to pay for current used ended the contract and that unless payment was made, the current would be discon- finued. The company today prepared another demand again calling the Traction Corapany's attention to an- other months current bill.
 .'But for the inconvenience of the public, tho current probably would have been cut of before this. There will be anothef chapter in few days from the light company's standpoint"
