THOUSANDS HAVE
 BEEN KILLED IN
 MINE ACCIDENTS
Three Times as Many Victims as in European Mines, Says
 Government Bulletin,

WASHINGTON, December 1S.-In a bulletin issued today by the interior department on coal mine accidents it is said that the coal mines of the United States are killing three times as many men per 1000 employees as those of most European countries. In the last seventeen years 22,S40 men have given up their lives in the mines of this country and as many violent deaths occurred in the mines during the last six years as during the preceding eleven years. The number of fatal accidents each year iss now double that of 1895. In 1906, 6,S6l men were killed or in iured in mines, the dea numbering 2,06l and injured 4,S00.
 Summing up the situation the bulle- tin says: "It is indicated that this in crease in the loss of life has been due regulations, in part to the lack of re- liable information concerning explosives used in mining, conditions under which they can be used safely in the presence of gas and dust encountered in the mines, in part to the fact that in de- veloping coal mines, not only is the number of miners increasing, but the mines are either deeper or further from the entrance, where good ventilation is more difficult and dangerous aceumula- tions of explosive gas more frequent. !"
 The bulletin shows that in all Euro peal coal producing countries the out l'ut of coal has increased greatly dur iI 2 the last ten years, but the number of deaths per 100000 miners instead of increasing as in this country, has undergone marked decrease. This de- crea SC has been due, the bulletin says, to the effect of mining legislation in those countries for safe guarding and protection of the lives of the workmen.

ANNEXATION BY
 BELGIUM IF THE
 CONGO Is DOOMED
Liberals Vote to Turn Down Treaty and Fall of Govern
 ment Is Anticipated.

BRUSSELS, December 1S.-Follow ing careful examination of the com plete text of the Congo annexation treaty, which had just been published liberal members of the chamber of dep uties voted unanimously in caucus to day to oppose the treaty on the ground that conditions set down unduly limit the sovereignty of Belgium and disre gard Belgium s rights, As the govern ment had counted upon the liberals support to pass the bill against the op- position of the socialists, and some con- servatives, there is . prospect that the treaty will be withdrawn and that the government will therefore resign. De- tailed study of the complete treaty pro duces very different impression from that which is obtained by the public from the rosy official forecast, and it is now plain that King Leopold retains his powerful interests in the Crown do- main, which is the richest and best part of Congo. More especially through the insistence that the rights of vari. ous foreign capitals which hold import ant concessions should be maintained and recognized by Belgium, public opinion is increasingly convinced that The treaty does not sufficiently recog- nize the rights of Belgium in the Congo. The action taken by the lib- erals is interpreted to mean the doom of annexation and the probable fall of the government.

NARROW ESCAPE IF . HOSPITAL INMATES AT SOLOMONv|LLE
Wall Col|apses and Beds Cov- cred With Bricks After Pa-
 tientS Make Escape,
Special to the Silver Belt.

Special to the Silver Belt.
 SOLOMONVILLE, Ariz., December lS.-The inner adobe walls of the coun- ty hospital building fell last night at 3 O clock, completely wrecking the in side of the structure and entailing a loss of $500. The building stands close to an irrigation ditch, and the water seeping through gopher holes caused the walls to soften and fall, The outside walls are on a stone foundation and did not fall.
 It is apparent that a considerable loss of life was narrowly avered. The institution has six inmates and they had all retired except one, Uncle Charles Gropp. Gropp noti,ed the walls cracking and gave the allrm and all were safely outside before the rash took place. The beds were GOV ,red with adobe bricks to the depth of three or four feet and doubtless all of the men would have been killed had hey not been warned in time.
 About midnight fire broke out in the wreckage from buried stove, and it required quick work to save the build ing from burning.

RIFLE THAT SLEW GOVERNOR GOEBEL
 SHOWN AT TRIAL
Only Partially Identified by Witnessi Damaging Evi-
 dence Given.

GEORGETOWN, Ky, December lS.- For the first time since it sent bullet into the body of William Goebel in January 1900, the Marlin rifle about which so much has been said, was )laeed in evidence today when Grant l.. Roberts took the stand in Caleb Powers trial. It is now in custody of the court as an exhibit. When the gun was brought into court it was found that it had been carefully screen ed in a wooden box made for the pur pose of its preservation. The box wa' wrapped in brown paper and the whole securely tied. The steel bullet, smoke less powder cartridges remaining in the magazine after one shot had been fired were removed by Roberts before pack ing it and these, too, were filed as ar exhibit. Roberts would not identify the gun without qualifications. He was "pretty sure" this was the missing rifle which was bought from Clarence Fugazzie of Frankfort, but would not speak with absolute certainty.
 Before closing for the day, Judge Morris at the request of the defense issued an order for Henry Youtsey to be brought again from the penitentiary tomorrow.
 S. s. Sheppard, deputy marshal al Covington, who was in the state audit or s office in 1900, testified this after noon that on Friday or Saturday before Goebel was shot he had seen Youtsey en ter the office with a gun apparently much excited, and said that Youtsey ex claimed: "Get your guns, something is going to happen. Caleb Powers is a brave man, but if they don t let me have my way I will soon settle the mat. ter. I have a good position at stake. "
 Sheppard said: "I was at my desk and when Goebel was shot I dropped my work and went to the west door of the executive building, when l saw Youtsey coming out from the east door with pistol in his hand.

In the total receipts for September
as compared with last year, barley 10
the only grain that shows gain over
last year. This was because Of the
strong barley market Shippers hur-
ried their barley to market in order
to take advantage Of the high prices
which prevailed.
Grain men expect to see the receipts
for October considerably eclipse those
of last year, despite the crop shortage.
provided the railroads can furnish cars
enough to transport the grain offered.
They say that not only does the
shortage Of freight cars menace, but
that there are many tedious and ex-
pensive delays in the yards, because
the roads are unable to accomplish
the switching. promptly.
Shippers and receivers say that tho
cars of grain stand for days in the
yards because the roads have not suf-
ficient switching facilities. They are
utilizing extra switch engines, but
some of them are old and there are not
enough to properly take care of the
business.
