NEARLY 400 MEN ENTOMBED
AN APPALLING CATASTROPHE AT
MONoNGAH, W. VA.
Explosions Wrecked Two Mines and
of $50 Men Employed Therein, Only
a Few Escaped with
Their Lives.

Monongah, W. Va.-Twenty charred
and blackened bodies lying in the
improvised morgue prepared near
the entrance to the mine, five men
lowering between life and death from
the awful bruises sustained and the
deadly gases inhaled, in a temporary
hospital into which one OF the com
pany buildings has been transformed,
and 300 men imprisoned by tons of
coal, rock and mine debris in the
depth of the hills surrounding this
mining town, with the chances all
against single one of them being
alive is the most accurate summary
obtainable of the results of mine eX-
plosion Friday which in all probabil-
ity was attended by greater loss of life
than any former disaster in the his
tory of the bituminous coal mining in
dustry of America.
Six dead bodies had been taken from
mine No. at midnight and 65 others
werespiled up in the entry, awaiting
the completion of facilities for bring
ing them to the surface. From mine
No. s, at the same hour, IA bodies had
been removed and number of others
are ready to be brought out as soon as
arrangements can be completed.
The explosion occurred shortly after
10 H. IN. after $50 men had gone to
work>in the two mines affected These
mines are Nos. 6 and of the Consoli-
dated Coal Co., located on opposite
sides of the West Fork river at this
place, but merged in their under
ground workings by a heading and on
the surface by great steel tipple and
bridge.
The mines are owned and operated

Two Great Questions.

President Roosevelt acted with his
accustomed decision and prompttude
in attacking the financial stringency
He directed the secretary of the treas
ury to issue $50,00G,000 worth of Pan
anna canal bonds, bearing two per
cent. interest, and $100,000000 of
three per cent. government notes
with the expectation that persons who
are now boarding their money will
invest in these unimpeachable securi-
ties and the money that comes from
their disposal may be sent to the
south and west to facilitate the move
ment of crops.
At the same time the president is
sued a call for conference of govern
ors of all the states and territories to
meet him at Washington early in May
OF next year to discuss means to CON
serve the natural resources of the
country which, he says, are becom-
ing depleted, and, in not few cases
entirely exhausted" These resources,
in the presidents language, are min
eral resources, the resources of the
land and the resources of the Waters
In every part of our territory"

BRYAN AND TIE TARIFF,
Democratic Leader Playing Politics in
His Speeches.

Mr.. Bryan would have the tariff re.
vised right away. At least he talks that
way. Maybe he would talk differently
if his party were In power. He would
then be obliged to look at the matter
in what in politics is called practical
light AS the matter stands, he is look
ing at it purely in the light OF party
advantage. Not relief for the people
from heavy schedules, but embarrass-
ment for the Republicans in the ma
tional campaign is his object.
We should see some all-around poll
tics played with the tariff if the Re-
publicans could be badgered into TAX
ing it up next month. The Demo-
cratic programme would be as plain as
a pikestaff, and be followed strictly.
Mr.. Bryan might be tempted to appear
and direct operations from the cloak
rooms of the house. Delay would be
the word from the outset. A long ses-
sion-reaching into September If pos
sible-would be the aim of the mi
nority. No bill until fall, so as to
leave as little time as possible for the
majority to explain the performance
in full from the stump. Such tactics
were employed in 1890 against the Nc
Kinley bill, and had much to do with
the Republican defeat that year. The
voters repudiated the bill in a few
weeks after its enactment into law,
and yet six years later elected it's
author president, with instructions to
assist in the writing of a new law
upon the same lines. This was done,
and that law is now ten years old.
Mr.. Bryau's demand is all the poll
tics that now remains in the tariff is
sue for his party. Tariff revision is
assured at last The most stubborn
of the stand-patters must now con-
cede that new schedules are on the
cards. In their national platform the
Republicans next year will declare
themselves, and the work then prom
ised will probably be performed at an
extra session of the Sixty-first con-
gress, called for that express purpose.
During the campaign we shall hear
something about protection and free
trade. Mr.. Bryan and his friends will
argue from the assertion that protec-
ton is the mother of trusts, and that
the surest means of dealing with
trusts is to destroy protection. The
Republicans should welcome that de-
bate-shOuld welcome even the most
yelled attack on system which
stands so thoroughly justified by ex-
perience. If protection cannot be de-
Tended, nothing can be. 1t was never
more deserving of the title the Amer
lean policy" than it is to-day. with
America, under it's application, in the
front rank of producing and flourishing
natiOns-Washingt Star.

BOND ISSUES ARE REDUCED.
Only $25,ooo.00o Panama Bonds and
$15,ooo,oo0 of 3 Per Cent Certif-
Gates to be Sold.

Washington, d C.-The secretary
of the treasury has accepted bids for
the Panama canal bonds to the amount
of $25,000000. The average price of
all the bids accepted is 1903. Under
the terms of the law and the secre-
tary's acceptance Of these bids, the
allotments of bonds to individuals and
institutions will be confined to the
small subscriptions from $4,000 to
500
The allotment of the per cent. GER
tifcates will not exceed $4,000 900.
Those have been confined to national
banks throughout the country which
were in position to at once take out
additional circulation, this being
measure designed to afford immediate
relief, inasmuCh as a considerable time
would necessarily elapse before the
Panama canal bonds could be put on
the market

If China is awakening, are the west
ern nations awakening TO China? DR..
Arthur II. Smith, the well-known
American missionary, shows in an in
teresting book that this country has
not followed its missionaries and its
ministers of famine relief with any
deep intellectual or even commercial
understanding of China 1t is strange
that this nation, at once mercantile
and generous, should have made so
little effort to understand the Chinese
on their own soil, and should have
failed to heed the plain statement of
Ii Hung-Chang that IF Americans
want the trade of China they must
come after it." Our attitude toward
China has been like our attitude
toward South America American con-
suls have been preaching to us for
years to learn the countries to which
we ship our goods. Yet no traders are
so little at home as are Americans in
countries across the seas.

The Mustache.

There is more than humor in the
rise and fall of the mustache, although
the country was amused several years
ago by humorous lecturer, who dis
coursed on the subject. II is contrary
TO the British army regulations for an
officer to shave his upper lip. From
time to time the war department has
issued general orders expressing its
disappI oval of the growing disregard
of the regulations, and now it is re-
ported in London that King Edward is
contemplating some action which will
compel the officers to return to the old
custom. The mustache has long been
regarded as a military badge. Only
one regiment in the Austro-Hungarian
is because during the Seven Years
war recruits were so scarce that this
regiment once had to go into battle
when there were nothing but beard
less boys in its ranks. 1t behaved with
such gallantry that its members re-
main beardless to this day The de-
cline of the mustache in military Eng
land is said to be due to the prefer
ence of American girls for smooth
faces and the liking of English army
officers for American girls. combina-
tion which produces new fashions and
outlaws old customs.

Very Much Alive,

Whatever other effects the panic
may have, it has at least dealt a death
blow to the tariff superstition" Thus
the New York Evening Post, mean
ing the belief of protectionists that
when production and consumption are
at highwater mark; when labor is
fully employed at high wages; when
the things that labor makes find a
ready market; when the wages that
labor earns find their way quickly into
trade channels-that in these condi-
tions prolonged and disastrous panics
are impossible. Yes; protectionists
believe all this. They believe it more
than ever since they have seen the
worst money panic the country has
known for II years disappear inside of
five days. The tariff had nothing what
ever to do with bringing on this ffnan-
cial furry, but it had a tremendous
lot to do with quieting it.

pressed excitement among the miners
over the ordering of troops here, they
are keeping the peace in every way.

Further Improvement in the finan-

a great deal of idle machinery at mills
and factories In the leading indus
tries a disposition is shown to defer
production until there is no probabil-
ity of cancellations and consumers
show an inclination to place orders
for forward deliveries. Retail trade
is fairly we'll maintained, demand for
holiday goods assuming seasonable
proportions and collections are more

Increased Export of Manufactures.

An interesting and important phase
of the statistics of our foreign trade
is the largely increasing share which
manufactured articles bear to our ex-
ports. For the first nine months of
this year manufactures were just
short of "A per cent. of our total eX-
ports, having never before been 40
per cent, and having been from Is to
20 per cent. quarter of a century
ago. The figures show the growth in
amount from $10000,000 per month in
1880 to $63, 100000 per month in the
first three quarters of this year. Iron
and steel manufactures form the
largest item, being $146 100000 for the
nine months, while prior to 1897 the
years total was not S50,000000.
The increasing ratio of manufac-
lures in our exports is a good sign,
since the higher the process is car
ried and the more finished the article
the more employment is given to labor
and the larger proportion of the value
represents wages. Coincident with this
feature is the increase of tropical and
sub-tropical products imported into the
United States. These products rep
resent not only food, as we are apt to
think, though coffee, cocoa, sugar,
fruits and nuts form a large part of
them. There are also crude materials
for manufacturing, such as india rub
Der, fibers, gums, barks, raw silk and
tobacco. The Importation in increas-
ing amounts of these materials de-
notes industrial growth but is not so
clear an outcome of it as the more
impressive enlargement of the manu-.
factured exports.
