FIFTY CARS ARE
 BEING OPERATED
FOR FIRST TIME SINCE THE STRIKE IN SAN FRANCISCO LAST SUNDAY CARS ARE OPERATED TO THE FERRIES.

San Francisco, Cal, May 12.-Fifty street cars were operated today from 10 o'clock in the morning until 5 o'clock in the evening over the twenty odd lines composing the United Railroads system. For the first time since the commence ment of the strike, last Sunday, cars were run today to the ferries. About 2O,- 900 passengers patronized the service.
 There was very little disorder during the day compared with the five previous days. Thousands of persons evidently regarded the published injunctions and private warnings and remained In doors for the Sunday crowds were much small CT than usual. Unquestionably the firm stand taken by Governor Giliett when he announced through this mornings pa pers that he would judge the San Fran cisco situation by the acts of the people and would not hesitate a moment to call out the militia If rioting should be con tinued, had a sobering effect on hundreds of trouble makers whose acts of violence made the history of the past week a dis graceful and bloody occasion.
 4 we hundred police guarded the streets through which the fifty cars were run. but they had little to do. Isolated in- stances of misconduct on the part of in- dividuai policemen were noted. but on the whole the five-sevenths of the entire force of the department gave adequate protection to the two lines that were in operation.

OCEAN STEAMERS MAY BE CARRIED TO ST. LOUIS
Revival of Agitation to Deepen Channel of Mississippi Has Produced Many Schemes for Excavation-Sand from Muddy Missouri is One of the Greatest Diff
 culties to Contend With

St. Louis, May 12.-The revival of the agitation for deepening the channel of the Mississippi river between St. Louis and the gulf to an extent that will enable ocean steamers to touch at St. Louis and open the port to the commerce of the world, has produced many schemes for excavating the channel and keeping it eX- cavated. Old river men familiar with the mighty river and the unstable yellow Missouri river, declare the Missouri river furnishes more sand than any other stream in the United States.
 This declaration is based on the swift ness of the current. of a comparatively narrow channel and the fact that sand poured into the Mississippi from the Mis- souri is a constant menace to naviga- ton below the latter while above that point steamers ply comparatively free from danger of grounding on suddenly formed sand banks. In digging a chan nel to deepen the Mississippi, according to the expressed opinions of various champions of the project, work should be commenced in the channel, for the

NINETY MEN DIE
 IN CORNE ETHAS MINE Fire Started tarIy Last Friday
 Night LOSS MAY BE GREATER Fire is Supposed to Have Originated From Cigarette Thown Care
LOSS MAY BE GREAT TER

Mexico City, May 12.-According to a special dispatch which was received from the city of Torreon, Coahuilla, by the Associated Press, at late hour tonight, ninety lives were lost in a fire which oc- cured in the Cornethas shaft of the Ter neras group of mines in the town of Ve- lardena, state of Durango. The fire start ed early Friday night in an abandoned shaft. At the time there were 101 men working in another part of the mine and from what can be learned at this time but seventeen of them escaped. Thirty five bodies have been recovered accord ing to latest reports received from the scene of the disaster, but as the fire is still raging, 1t is feared that few others imprisoned will be found.
 The origin of the fire is supposed to have been due to the carelessness of a miner who was smoking cigarette in an abandoned shaft through which he was passing This section of the mine, it is said was exceedingly dry and 1t is believed that the man in throwing away his half burned cigarette allowed it to drop into a bunch of oiled waste A blaze was the immediate result and this quickly conveyed itself to the ad- joining timbering. The fire had gained great headway before it was discovered by the men in the nearby vicinity, when 1t was found that every avenue of es- cape had been cut off. Rescuing parties have been working heroically, but only eharred and unrecognizable remains have thus far rewarded their efforts.
 The fire is still raging and is said to be beyond control. The mine is one of the group of the largest mines in the dis trict
 Owing to the remoteness of the region it has been difficult to receive details of the catastrophe and list of the dead is unavailable at this time.

JAPAN DESIRES
 CLOSER RELATIONS
TURKEY IS FIRMLY OPPOSED TO CONCEDiNG PRIVILEGES AND SEEMS TO DESIRE WiTHDRAW- AL OF THOSE ALREADY GIVEN.

Constantinople, Hay 12.-The pour par fish diplomatic relations with Turkey, and the location of Japanese ambassador at Constantinople. have encountered a rather serious stumbling block. Japan wishes to be treated on the same footing as the great powers of Europe with respect to the ''capitulat1ons," by which Turkey gives foreign powers certain supervision over her internal affairs, including schools, missions, consular courts, etc. The porte is firmly opposed to concedlng this privilege to Japan. as all of the eff forts of Turkey within recent years have aimed at the restriction and ultimate abo- lition of these privileges to foreign pow CTS
 The efforts of Japan to establish dip lomatic relations with Turkey date back to the period preceding the Russo-Japa- nese war, and were renewed later at diff ferent intervals. In November last year fresh attempt was made during the presence in Constantinople of two Japa- nese staff officers. who were occupied in a tour of studies in Turkey. one of whom subsequently, proceeded to Bagdad. These officers were the bearers of a large num- Der of Japanese decorations for Turkish officers. It Is stated in official circles that the pour parlors are still going on. although reticence is observed regarding the place where the negotiations are be- ing conducted.
 It is obvious that the presence of a Japanese diplomatic representative would naturally tend to strengthen the position of the British ambassador in view of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. This probability might account for the unfavorable attl- tude which has been hinted at on the part of certain powers.
 It is believed that Prince Fushima, at present on d visit to Europe, will come to Constantinople. and use his personal h. huence to bring about settlement.

VEN|RE
 ID BE COMPLETED Haywood Case Will Be Resumed
 Some Time Today TESTIMONY OF ORCHARD Prisoner Who confesses Crime Is Be- ing Closely Guarded Against As sassination In State Peni-
 tenlary.
TESTIMONY OF ORCHARD

Boise, Idaho May 12.-The summoning of the special venire of talesmen in the Haywood case will be finally completed tomorrow morning and the 100 men who have been called by Sheriff "Shad" Hod- gin will present themselves in Judge Woods court. wien. at o'clock tomor- row afternoon, the case will be resumed. General expectation is that not more than two of the regular venire already exam ined will be retained in the jury box and that the bulk of the jury will come from the quota now being called by the sheriff. The eleven men confined since last Thursday in the jury house will be very glad to see the case resumed. A ma jority of them know that they are not to serve on the jury and that although they have been comfortably housed and well fed, they have grown very restless under confinement.
 Interest in the trial continues to centre in the personality and testimony of liar ry Orchard. who is alleged to have killed Governor Steunenberg and upon whose confession William Haywood and his as- soelates in the directorate of the Western Federation of Miners were indicted.
 Speculation as to the time of his ap- pearance Is idle until the jury is formed, but 1t Is. believed that he will be called dIler the Qedln or OLcunenDerB mas been proved and that his testimony will be the main foundation upon which the prosecu- tion will build.
 Meantime, Orchard is a closely guarded prisoner in the state penitentiary, a cas- tle-like structure, built and walled with stone. Various reports as to attempts to reach or kill Orchard are in circula- tion the last being a tale from Lewiston of plot alleged to have been formed months ago to shoot Orchard off the hills back of the prison. These stories lack confirmation, but they serve to tighten the vigilance of Warden Whitney and his deputies.
 Reports from the prison say that Orch ard is in good health and condition: that ne will unquestonably repeat his confess sion in court and that he is ready for the fate made certain by his confession

Missouri river even as far as two hun dred miles above St. Joseph, Mo. After the actual cutting of the river bed has begun a days work should be done in the Mississippi until mattresses construct ed of willows or lumber have been placed on the bottom of the Missouri clear to it's confluence with the Mississippi. They declare that not only will this prevent the Mississippi from hereafter filling up with sand and silt from the Missouri, but that it will have the effect of keeping the Missouri from spreading and cutting new channels. and the current will be held in the fixed channel and the force of the water will keep the mattressed bed clean and unobstructed.
 Men who read water'' say the river between Fort Benton and New Orleans fifty years ago was deeper by fifteen feet than 1t Is today, and much of the filling is charged by them to lack of naviga- ton When more boats piled between the points named the churnlng of the side wheelers' kept In motion the sand that was washed into the Mississippi from other streams, and it had no chance to accumulate in bars and soon harden until il must be entirely removed by swiftly flowing flood waters to be again set in motion.
