A POLL of the editors west Of
the Alleghanies, compiled by the
Chicago Tribune, shows strong
opposition to Cannon and
Aldrich. Two questions were
asked by the Chicago paper. To
the one els Cannon your choice
for the next speaker" the ans
wers from republican editors
were SAC yes, and 1858 no; indie
pendent editors, 81 yes, and SAL
no. To the question "Do you
endorse the Aldrich-Ca Cannon
tariff" the answers were: BY
republican editors 812 yes, and
1886 no; independents, q yes,
aud SIT no. From these figures
it is evident that the west and
middle west, at least so far as
the newspapers are concerned, do
not stand for such men as
Aldrich and Cannon. The figures
simply show that there is a
really widespread republican
revolt against the bosses in con
gress. What the revolt if kept
up,may lead to during and after
the next three years Of President
Taft's administration can only
be cOnjectured. It il a serious
matter for the republican party
to contemplate; that is, if the
papers represent the true senti-
ment of the rank and file.

6S DEAD IN A
MEXICAN MINE
Violation OF Rules by Smoker Cause
Of Terrific Explosion.
Sixty-Fve Bodies Removed From
Mine and Three Die in Hospitals
Forty lnjured-ManY Escapes
Due to Working Where Foul Air
Did Not Penetrate.

Laredo, Texas, Feb. 3.-One of the
greatest disasters in the history of
Mexico mining took place today in the
Palau coal mine, at Las Esperanzas,
Mexico.
The toll of human life which paid
the penalty of negligence on the part
of some miner, according to the latest
reports, is placed at So. After an Off
cial report showing So dead, twelve ad-
ditional bodies were recovered, bring
ing the total to 65, and three others
have died in the hospital, making the
grand total Of victims thus far 68.
The explosion occurred in No. 3 shaft
of the coal mine of the Esperanzas
Mining company and is attributed to
the ignition of gas from the flame of
the cigarette of miner. Smoking is
contrary to the rules.
The miners, mostly Mexicans and
Japanese, had assumed their places
just after Z o'clock. At 1880 o'clock
those at work above the ground heard
a loud explosion and almost instantly
vast cloud of dust and smoke issued
from the mouth of the mine. When
the onlookers realized the meaning OF
the disaster, assistance was immedi-
.ately forthcoming.
AS soon as the air in the shaft could
be purified sufficiently to permit res
cuers to descend. many volunteers were
ready to risk their lives in an elevator
to succor their stricken brothers below.
Cages were sent down, loaded to
capacity with miners bent upon rescue.
On the first and second levels every
theng was found intact and the men
working in these places were safe. The
rescue party went down to the third
level and as soon as the air could be
sufficiently cleared they entered the
drifts and began search for the dead
and injured. Scattered about in vari-
Gus positions in the workings they
found the bodies of the men suffocated.
The resources worked in relays. AT
ter six hours work SO bodies had been
removed to hospitals. The injured owe
their escape TO the fact that they were
working where they were protected
from the rush of foul air. State rep
resentatives sent a detailed report of
the explosion and deduction as to the
probable cause to the governors of
Coahuila and Saltillo. They instructed
the local authorities to take such ac-
tion as they deemed necessary and to
investigate thoroughly the cause of the
disaster.
The Palau mine is one of the best
equipped coal mines in the Republic.
1t has an adequate ventilating system
and is provided with electric lights.
Mining officials are at loss to account
for the presence of mine damp in the
workings.

LUMBER PRICES ADVANCE.
Demand by Railroads Given as Cause
of Rise,

Los Angeles, Feb. 2.-Rough Ore
gon pine lumber has advanced 81, to
$22 and $26 thousand feet Shingles
have advanced 25 cents, to 1925 and
SO thousand. Shakes are up, So, to
$50 Thousand.
''The reason for the advance in
rough Oregon pine," said ]. F. MuIlin,
of the Montgomery & MuIlin Lumber
company, today, 'is the heavy demand
of the railroad companies for this lum-
Der. Not only in the United States is
the dOmand heavy, but it extends to
China, where they are doing an i'm
mense amount of railroad building.
"The railroads use 30 much lumber
that they practically make the market.
When there is a great amount of
railroad building the price of lum-
Der goes up.
"The outlook for the lumber busi-
ness is higher prices. There has been
a tendency toward higher prices since
the slump caused by the financial de-
preston of little more than q year
ago."

the Federal building gave rise to re-
ports that the goNernment would file a

Federal grand jury continued its in
vestigation into books and documents

PARIS REcovERs.
Water Recedes and Work of Repair
ing is Begun.

/
Paris, Feb. Improvement in the
general situation continues and the
spirits of the Parisians are rising as
the waters fall. Street hawkers are
selling postcard pictures of the flood
and the boulevards are once more gay
with thousands.
With the crisis past, the mercurial
French temperament faces the subsid-
iary troubles with light heart, but
the papers already are warning the
people that measures must be taken to
avoid repetition of the disaster.
The prefect of the department of the
Seine has issued instructions to the
owners of flooded houses to clean and
disinfect their premises to the salts
faction of the municipal architects
within "a hours after the subsistence of
the waters.
The government has ordered the tag
collectors to show the greatest len
iency to delinquents, and the Mont de
Pieto is extending pawn tickets for
three months.
Public and private benevolence
continues to respond to the call of the
sufferers. Thesters and societies are
organizing benefits, while the various
race courses are arranging a big
meeting for the spring, the receipts Of
which will go to the poor. A resolu-
tion has been introduced in the cham
Der of deputies asking the government
to award special crosses of the Legion
of Honor to those who have been con-
spicuous in the rescue work.
Although the papers are printing
columns of pitiful stories, hundredth
part of the horror never will be
known. Many corpses have been swept
down river, and occasionally a corpse
is found in boat, broken away from
some funeral procession.

TARIFF WAR AvERTED.
Agreement Reached With Germany on
all But Meat Inspection.

All Dut Meat IfSpcCuOns
Washington, Feb. A. Concessions
by both the United States and Ger.
many have averted threatened tariff
war.
Negotiations have been concluded
between the two countries which settle
the qestion of a minimum and maxi
mum rate with the exception of the
cattle and dressed meat issue. This
was eliminated from the present nego-
tiations and will be taken up later in
separate diplomatic representations.
Under the agreement made today Am
erican minimum rates will be exchang-
ed for the entire minimum list of Ger
many. The result is considered advan-
tageous to both countries.
The State department toiay issued a
statement, which in part is as follows !:
BY the understanding arrived at,
there will be no tariff war and no in
terruption of the enormous commerce
passing between the two countries.
The magnitude of this business ap-
pears from the statement that in the
year just closed the direct
of commodities between
Germany and the United States ex-
ceeded $409, 900, 600, and, allowances
being made for German importations
through other countries, the actual vol
ume is possibly in excess of $500, O00,-
600

CEREAL TRUST FORMING.
Twelve Biggest Breakfast Food Max
ers May Combine.

Chicago, Feb. 2.-The hungry pub
lie, turning from prohibitive meat and
other foodstuffs to cereals, is apparent
ly in for another hard shock, as there
is every indication that a great COM
bine in cereals is on the verge Of COM
pletion to be followed Immediately by
general boost in prices. Snowballs
and sand seem about the only things
left that cannot be ccrnered.
Advices from Minneapolis today and
tonight are to the effect that a great
holding company is forming to take
over several of the largest cereal fac
tories in the United State-in short, to
form trust in breakfast foods. Ac-
cording to these reports, these COM
panies probably would be in the com
bine:
Northwestern Cereal corporation.
Minneapolis Cereal & Milling Co.
Fruen Wheat Food & Milling Co.
Minne-Paul Cereal & Milling Co.
Malta Vita Food Co., Battle Creek.
Pettijohn Pure, Food Co.
All Iowa plants of the United Cereal
Co.
It is further declared that in addi-
tion to these concerns, seven white
flour mills in the territory adjacent to
Minneapolis would be in the merger
and that there was possibility that
two of the large baking concerns of
Minneapolis also would be included.
Thomas w. Hicks, of the National
Financing Company, said today:
"There IL cereal-producing firms in
this country, where one holding COM
pany could handle the entire output.
We seek at present to combine these
IL firms and avoid the throat cutting
which has been going on for years and
which has caused many failures. For
instance, Battle Creek, Mich, which
has been the center of cereal-produc-
ing, has been the victim Of az failures
in three years.
The way things are going at pres
ent, the cereal output is losing prop
osition for the food companies. 1t is q
continual fight for contracts and the
result is that the jobber is the only one
who makes the big money.

MINE EXPLOSION
KILLS SCORES
Colorado Coal Mine Scene Of Death
and Destruction,
Seventy-Nine Bodies Found in Mass
at Bottom of Shaft-NearIy as
Many More Believed to be in Mine
and Little Hope is Entertained
That Any Are Alive.

Primero,. Colo, Feb. 1.-Seventy-
nine bodies of the victims of yesterday
afternoons explosion in the Primero
mine were found piled in mass at the
foot of the air shaft shortly after mid
night.
When the explosion occurred the
men evidently made rush to escape
through the air shaft, and were suffo-
Gated as they battled with one another
for freedom.
1t has been shown by the time
keepers records that there were 149
men in the mine at the time of the ex-
plosion. Few are thought to be alive.
The main shaft of the mine is COM
dletely wrecked.
The mine authorities telegraphed an
order to Denver early this morning for
80 cofins. One man only has been
found alive. He is badly injured and
has not been identified.
The explosion occurred in the mine
of the Colorado Fuel & Iron company
at 4 80 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
Three men at the mouth of the mine
were killed by the force of the concus-
sion.
Both fans with which the mine was
equipped were shattered, but were re-
placed and ]. H. Thompson, superin-
tendent, and rescue party entered by
the main air shaft, but were unable to
reach the main shaft, which was COM
pletely blocked. The party returned
to the surface after securing five
bodies, which were badly burned.
A party equipped with oxygen he'll
NETS replaced them and continued the
search for more bodies. Miners were
rushed to Primero from Trinidad,
Saundo, Starkville, Sopris and Coke
vile, and labored frantically to clear
the main shaft, relieving each other
every few minutes.
Most of the victims are Slavs and
Hungarians, although Electrician Will
Helm is among the missing.
The camp was scene of indescrib-
able horror last night. While every
ablebodied man was taking his turn
with pick and shovel to clear the shaft,
the women and children, kept back by
ropes, gathered about the shaft, weep
ing and calling loudly upon their loved
ones who had not been found.
Members of the rescue party say
that the effect Of the explosion under
ground is indescribable. The bodies
recovered were horribly burned and
unrecognizable. One body was i'm
paled on broken timbers.

MCCARTHY REloNs SUPREME
San Francisco's Mayor Sweeps Away
All Trace of Precedents.

San Francisco, Feb. 4.--San Fran
ciso is in the hands of Mayor Nc
Carthy and his cohorts. Commencing
with the throwing out Of Office of mem
bers Of the board of police commission
ers and following that up with the de-
capitation Of the members of the board
of education, the newly-elected mayor
practically completed his reign Of ter
ror the fore part of the week when he
Topped off the heads of Is more of the
Taylor commissioners, and in the early
hours of the morning had 15 of his own
men sworn in. Neither the ousted
commissioners nor any of their at
torneys knew what had happened until
long after the transformation had been
effected.
1t is not the beginning of the end,
but it marks what Mayor Mccarthy
said upon his installation into Office
that he proposes to run the city after
his own manner. In short, he wants to
control absolutely and without ques-
tion, the patronage of the city, and
failing to convince the commissioners
that they should resign, he has brought
it about by more tyrannical methods.
Saloonmen, members of the Royal
Arch, liquor dealers association, and
heads of various union bodies of San
Francisco, make up, for the most part,
the newly appointed commissions, so
that it is easy to see who is going to
rule the roost for the next two years,
at least.
1t is going far, perhaps, to say that
San Francisco is to be the Paris of
America, but the complete disregard
that Mccarthy has shown for the in
tent of the charter, to say nothing
more, is proof positive that he will
permit nothing to stand in his road.
His motto might easily be "rule or
ruin" Already there are indications
that the ousted commissioners will not
stand idly by. Some of them, it is
true, have decided to quit peaceably,
but others, and notably the board of
has decided to test in the
courts the right of the mayor to turn
them out of office. Action in this test
case was begun today.
