To Refund Money.

Representative Watkins, of Louisi-
ana, and other Southern, congressman
are preparing bills which they will
soon introduce for the purpose of
relieving persons who suffered great
loss of property by reason of its con-
fiscation by Federal troops during the
late Civil War. Mr.. Watkins has in
view particularly general measure
which will cause the distribution of
fund of perhaps $10,0OO,OOO held in
trust by the Treasury, being the pro-
ceeds of certain cotton that was cap
tured and sold. The title to this cot
ton did not pass to the United States
with the taking of it from the owners,
but the proceeds of the sale must re-
main in the treasury until some au-
thority is given for its distribution.
Originally there was about $3O,00O,-
900 in the fund, but part of this has
been paid out under private, acts.
Senator Money for years has been
urging the passage of some special
measure as the one proposed BY Judge
Watkins, but the Senate and House
have never taken action at the same
time, although many favorable,reports
have been made on the proposition.

DIRE DISASTER
GRIPS MINERS
Nearly Four Hundred Luckless
Men are Eutombed In Pit.
AN EXPLOSION TORROR
Catastrophe in West Virginia Ono of the
Worst Recorded in American
Mining History.
AN EXPLOSION I.ORROR

Six charred and blackened bodies,
lying in the improvised morgue, pre-
pared near the entrance to the mine,
five men lowering between life and
death from the awful bruises sustain
ed and The deadly gases inhaled in =
temporary hospital into which one of
the company buildings mas been trans
formed, and $50 men imprisoned by
tons of coal, rock and mine debris in
the depths of the hills surrounding
the mining town of Monongah, West
Virginia, with the chances all against
single one of them being alive, was
the most accurate summary obtain
able Friday night of the result of =
mine explosion Friday morning which,
in all probability, was attended by
greater loss of life than any former
disaster in the history of the bitumi-
nous coal mining industry of America.
The explosion occurred shortly after
10 o'clock, after the full force of five
hundred men had gone to work in
the two mines affected. These mines
are Nos. 6 and Of the Consolidation
Coal company, located on opposite
sides of the West Fork river at Mon
ongah, but merged in their under
ground workings by a heading and
on the surface by a great steel tipple
and bridge
The finding of the six corpses and
the five living men is the only reward
for strenuous and uninterrupted work
On the part Of the large rescuing force
that Immediately set to work at ev-
cry possible point.
The five living men are unable to
give any detailed report Of the disas.
ter or to even explain how they reach
ed the surface. They state that imme-
diatefy back of them when they be-
gan their frantic struggle for liberty
there was large number of men en-
gagged in similar struggle, while still
further back in the workings there
was large number OF whom they
knew nothing.
1t is the opinion of the mine ofi-
cials and others familiar with mining
that these eleven men had not pene-
trated the mine as far as had the
majority of the day shift when the ex-
plosion occurred.
The two mines regularly employ l.
900 men, working in two shifts, fve
hundred during the day and five hun
dred during the night, and the best
information obtainable at this time Is
that the entire day force had gone to
work Friday morning and that all were
caught.
Neither entry has been opened to
the real workings and the indications
are that a majority, If not all, caught
in the mine are dead.
1t Is reported that the mine officers
have ordered $50 coffins shipped to
Monogan soon as possible.
Clarence w. Watson Of Baltimore.
president of the mining company. was
at Parkersburg, w. Va, when the ex-
plosion occurred, and chartered spe-
cial train to take him to the scene.

Washington. d. C.-Although no
official confirmation of the matter can
be had at this time, there seems to
be some basis for the statement that
Secretary Cortelyou will not award
the full $5O,0O0,0O0 of Panama canal
bonds. Rumors place the amount that
will be awarded at $30,00,000 and
possibly slightly smaller sum.

terways policy that will provide for
the proper improvement, within the
next ten years, of the rivers, water
ways and harbors of orr country,
with the improvement Of which it is
justified by present and prospective
changes of commerce.
"Second-That without presuming
to prescribe the engineering of the
financial details of this great under
taking, this congress strongly urges
upon the congress Of the United
States, the Importance OF the imnedi-
ate adoption of comprehensive plan
Of waterway improvement, of the car

number of engineers and of such lib
eral appropriations annually as will
insure the early completion OF such
projects as may be undertaken.
"Third-That we cordially endorse
the action of President Roosevelt n
commission, being confident that its
report will prove source of valua-
BILE information to the American peo-
pie. We further recommend that con-
gress enact such laws as will make
the inland waterways commission per-
manent and will provide it with me-
cessary authority for its investiga-
tions and recommendations
"Fourth-That this congress cor
daily thank president Roosevelt for
the support he has given to its pur-
poses, by his speeches and by his treat
ment of the subject in his recent mes
sage to congress.
Five Hundred Million Wanted.
Fifth-That we ask congress to
view the river, waterway and harbor
appropriations, not as the appropria-
ton for the current expenses of gov
ernment but as an investment in per-
manent improvements, to pay increas
ing dividends from year to. year. View
ing these appropriations in this light,
congress is fully warranted in authW-
izing an annual expenditure begin-
ming at the present session of not less
tina one-tenth of the amount OF money
required for all the various river
and waterways and harbors improve
ments, already planned and approved
by the engineers in charge or hereaf-
ter planned, and approved, in order
that the work may be carried 20
speedy completion, such approprla-
tions to be not less than $50,000,00O
annually, and congress is further war;
ranted in authorizing the expenditure
of the money as needed, and in pro-
viding for the same, if in excess of
funds available, by bond issue sim
liar in character to that for the build
ing of the Panama canal, whereby
part of the cost of these vast improve
ments will be spread over successor
of years and borne by all who share
the benefits
Edward C. Plummer, of Maine, pre-
sented a minority report urging upon
the congress, faction which shall i'm
snediately begin the work of develop
ing our Interstate waterways upon
plan treating them all as a, signal,
great system to be brought to compile
ton within the shortest possible time;
that to this end an additional appro-
priation of not less thsr $50, 900, 900
be made and expended for thispur-
pose; and that we pledge to congress

HOW FAST HtAwAHTHA RAN.

fLond0n Post)
Determine how fast asks Professor
Greenhin. Hiawatha can run from the
following data;
Strong of arm was Hiawdtha:
He could shoot ten arrows upward
And the tenth mad left the bow-strins
Ere the first To earth had fallen.
Swift of foot was Hiawatha,
lie could shoot an arrow from him
And run forward with such swiftncSs
That the arrow fell behind him
Neglecting the resistance OF the air and
granting that Hiawasia could shoot one
arrow a second. the solution is as follow !.
The time of flight of the arrows shot
upward must have been nine seconds.
Therefore the velocity with which they
were shot being equal TO the time multi
piled into half the value Of the constant
of gravity was ia feet a second
Now, in shooting an arrow from him
Hiawatha, 20 obtain the furthest flight
would let fly at an angle Of IS degrees.
and by a simple trisOnometrical calcula-
ton we therefore arrive at the fact that
the horizontal velocity OF the arrow would
be rather less than IA feet q second. and
would in fact be l02 feet a second, or 20
miles an hour. HiaWatha would there
fore have to run faster than this. Could
he do 1t on a sprint?
Again having recourse to calculation we
find that an arrow shot at Ia feet sec
ond would .ly pc yards, nearly q fur
long. Hiawatha would run that distance
in about seven seconds. so that he would
be able to give the present holder OF the
second some As yards start.

A GALLERY PRAYER.

In the Utah house of representatives
on Wednesday, the day the vote on the
case of Senator Smoot was taken in the
national senate, Chaplain Hess, who
comes from Davis county. offered a
prayer. The chaplain asked the Lord
so have the United States senators
stand by the constitution of the IA
theirs and that they may not abridge
the rights of sovereign state of this
Union There was other matter along
the same line.
The more We think of that prayer the
less we like il. 1t seems to us that
Hess was praying more to the galleries
than to his God. Prayer has always
seemed to us a thing too sacred to be
used in the interest of any politician,
in the furtherance of any mans worldly
ambitions. However, if Hess had gone
in secret, as abjured by the scriptures,
there could have been no complaint
about it.
But no man. be he preacher or lay
Under the pretense of addressing the
Almighty. make a political harangue
for the deleetation of an aggregation
of politicians. There is something in
this that is utterly at variance with ali
proper notion of religion. Chaplain
Hess may possibly believe that his
prayer saved Smoot. If he does think
so, and il he can convince Smoot, the
senator should reward him with some
nice easy Office.
We do not believe that the prayer
by Hess had any effect whatever The
God who looks into the hearts of other
men looks also into the heart of Hess.
He could not have found there much
that could be construed as a direct APP
peal to the throne of grace.
