FIGHT.

Following the visit to Nsw York O,
Labor Commissioner Neill, President

union took decisive steps to close the
telegraphers' strike. He sent the fol
lowing telegram to all of the leading
cities of the country:
New York-Prominent officials Of

efforts at settlement are exhausted and
the telegraph company officials say
they will fight to a finish. The treas

proposition. SAMUEL ]. SMALL"
Operators to whom the news of the
order to vote became known expressed
the opinion. however, that their cause
is by no means lost on The uuion
will be preserved and strengthened
they say.
Small explained his unwillingness to
say anything mLre by insisting that
he did not wish to influence the vote
of locals in any way.
New Workers Not With Small.
New York-Daniel l.. Russell, chair
man Of the strikers board Of strategy,
says that President Small had said
nothing to the members of the local
board regarding his recommendation,
either before or after the same was
made public. Mr.. Russell said that he
had protested against the strike in the
beginning, but at the same time had
said that if it was declared he would
support it to the end. This promise,
he said, he had kept, and he would
never ask the strikers to go to work
unless they received material con-
cessions.
Chicago Operators Indignant.

for vote on the proposition of the
striking telegraphers returning to
work aroused storm of wrath here.

Fearful Wreck
In England

Shrewsbury, England, Oct. II. - A
train made Of passenger coaches bound
from Scotland and the north of Eng
land to Bristol, left the rails as it was
entering the station here at an early
hour in the morning. Sixteen persons,

The London Northwestern railroad on
which the train was running, curves
sharply as it nears Shrewsbury, and
there is standing order that the en-
gineers must not exceed a speed of 10
miles at that point.
Disregard of the order is believed to
have been the cause of the accident.

Later Report.
By the explosion Of the Du Pont pow

we're killed, 600 injured and Fontanet,
town of 1000 people, wiped out:
The dead and more seriously injured
have been taken away. Five hundred
inhabitants, all more or less wounded,
remain to gather scattered household
goods and sleep under tents, guarded
by soldiers of the state.
Without warning the powder mills,
seven in number, blew up at 9:15 Tues
day morning. They EMPLOYED 400
men, and of these rs were at work
when the first explosion occurred in
the press mill. In quick succession the
glazing mill, to corning mills and the
powder magazine blew up, followed by
the cap mill
In the magazine, situated several
huDderd yards from the mill, were
stored 1000 kegs of powder. The con-
cussion when it blew up was felt 400
miles away. Every house in the town
was destroyed. Farmhouses two miles
away and schoolhouses equally distant
were torn to pieces and their occupants
injured. Indianapolis, and even Gin
cinnati, felt the shock. A passenger
train on the Big Four railroad four
miles away had every coach window
borken and several passengers were in
jured by flying glass.
The mill went up with three distinct
explosions followed ninety minutes lat.
or by fourth, even more serious than
the others when the magazines emit up.
immediately folloing the explosion,
the wreckage took fire and the inhabi.
tants of the town, who rushed to the
rescue of the mill employees, found
themselves powerless to aid those burn.
ing in the ruins.
They worked frantically in constant
danger from possible succeeding explo-
sions, unmindful of their ruined homes.
Dead and dying we're picked up and
collected. Eighteen bodies horribly
burned and mangled were carted to a
protected spot to await Identification,
while the badly injured, numbering up
wards of fifty. we're put on a special
train and taken to Terre Haute for hos
pital Accommodations. Scarcely one of
the 100 inhabitants of the town but
carried blood on hands and face from
his own wounds or those of people who
had required aid.

Copper Outlook,

A further decline in the price
OF copper metal in New York
Saturday left lake quoted at 14h
cents bid. Even at the price
no sales of Importance were re-
ported. The copper metal market is in
condition of absolute chaos. Ten-cent
copper would not surprise ANYBODY
now. If the United Metals Selling COM
pany had let the market take a normal
course copper now would have been
selling freely around IA cents a pound
and there would have been universal
confidence. but the absurd trade meth
DDS adopted by picnic stricken copper
merchants have reduced the price to
Ia cents without making any sales of
Importance. H. H. Rogers is officially
on his deathbed, according to the
sworn evidence of his business asso-
clates. The copper situation has driv-
en- John D. Ryan, president of the Ana
conda Copper Mining company, to a
sick bed and it is worry over the
chaotic condition of the copper metal
market that is causing his trouble Mr..
Ryan's condition is very dangerous AMI
MS doctors are terrified at every addi-
tlonal decline in the price of conner
metal. The strange fact is that Mr..
Ryan's friends are blaming those who
report facts about copper, utterly ig-
noring the culpability Of the insiders
OF the Amalgamated Copper company
who caused the collapse.
The surplus of copper metal has
now grown from 25O,OO0,O0O to away
above SOO,OoO,oG0 pounds. 1t is possible
that there is as much as 100000, 900
pounds Of copper metal on the surface
OF the earth In the hands of producers.
The net exports for nine months have
been only 100000. The condition of
the American Smelling & Refining
company is becoming serious.
