OF Explosion.
Birmingham, Ala. (SpecIal) ~
Forty-five white and 1876 negro min
ers are entombed in No. coal
mine at Palos, Ala, as the result Of
q terrific explosion that occurred
there. 1t is believed that all are
dead. The mines are owned by tho
Palos Coal and Coke Company Of
Birmingham.
The flames from the explosion
shot up 100 feet in the air and the
shock was felt for miles. Timbers
were hurled several feet from the
mouth of the mine. Rocks from
the roof caved in and made access
difficult.
Residents of Palos, which is 40
miles west of Birmingham, began at
once to do what they could, but re-
lief work was not started in earn
est until a special train from Bir-
mingham reached Palos. This spec
ial train carried State Mine Inspec-
tor James Hillhouse. J. ]. Rutledge,
government expert in charge Of the
geological station at Knoxville,
Tenn, who was in the district inves-
tigating the recent disaster at Mulga;
eight physicians and surgeons, four
undertakers and q number of special
helpers. The hospital relief car of
the Tennessee Coal, Iron and Rail-
road Company was also taken. This
car contained helmets and all other
necessary paraphernalia for entering
gaseous mines.
The first rescuers who went into
the mine after the explosion were
overcome by fire damp. and had to
be carried out. Mr.. Rutledge was
among the first to enter. After
working his way 400 feet down the
slope. he found the second right en-
try caved in. The two bodies re-
covered were in the main slope.

NEW WEATHER FORECASTS IN
ENGLAND.

Notwithstanding the inauspicious date the
Meteorological Office Oh April l inaugurated
a new and interesting departure as regards
It's weather forecasts.
Hitherto, in Difference to the proyerbial
fckleness of the British climate, these have
been for twenty-four hours only, but in
future, when the conditions appear to war
rant it d forecast for several days ahead
will be issued. Al illustration of the pos
sibilities in this respect has been afforded
by the weather of the past week, the baro-
meter very generally standing high, the
conditions being known to intercollegiate
as anticyclonic and such as normally would
Justify a forecast of fine weather during
several days.
On the other hand, with an unsettled
type of weather such as is commonly asso-
ciated with c~yclonic disturbances the pro
8pects are less easily gagged, and in such
circumstances the Meteorological Office will
in future frankly say 50, An intImation OF
these differences in the outlook will, 1t IS
hoped, prove especially useful to agricuitur-
lists.
The following is the first of the new fore
casts, issued on Friday night under the
heading ""The further outlook "a gradu-
al change to less settled weather is probable
over England. Rain may be expected IN
most pla ces in the co urse Of Sunday OF Mon
day ."-Idid.

NJ ARRANGEMENT"

President Taft on Wednesday issued his
promised proclamation granting the mini
mum tariff to Canada.
Both the Canadian and American Gov
ernments appear to be at some pnins to
convince their respective celebrates that tho
advantages of the agreement lie with them.
From Ottawa comes a telegram saying that
the Canadians have conceded twelve tariff
reductions. The statement of Mr.. Knox,
the American Secretary of State, is that the
Canadians have reduced the duties from 20
to III per cent. ad valorem en- forty staple
articles covering e. 1000, 600 worth Of trade.
Most Of these staples, however, are en-
bodied in the "omnibus clause Of the
Franco Canadian agreement.
Mr.. Fielding said that throughout the
entire negotiations the United States had
not once raised the question Of Canada's
right to give preference to Great Britain or
other British Colonies. The representatives
Of the United States we're quite willing to
agree that this was a family arrangement in
which the United States had no right to
interfere. Mr.. Fielding remarked that this
would clear the way for a reciprocity treaty

THE MINNEHAHA, FAST ON ROCKS.

Hugh Town, st. Mary's, Sicily Islands,
Is April.-The Atlantic Transport liner Min
nehaha, which went aground at an early
hour this morning off the Scilly Islands, is
still fast ON the rocks, but there is little
likelihood Of saving the steamer. All the
passengers, numbering siXty-six, as we'll as
about one-third Of the cattle, were taken off
in safety. Should the sea continue smooth,
as now seems probable, the greater part Of
the cargo would be salved, but a change of
the wind to the northwest would expose
the Minnohaha to heavy seas, with hardly a
chance of saving either ship or cargo.
No attempt was made to-day to get the
liner off the rocks. She lies or q big Jagged
pinnacle nearly a mile from Bryher Island.
From the first, prospects of floating the
steamer looked hopeless, and at high tide
she was still held fast forward of the bridge.
The engine room and stoke hold and after
part OF the vessel, however, are still dry.
All Of the baggage belonging to the passen-
gers has been brought to St. Mary's.
The sun has been invisible since Wednes-
day, and observations by the officers of the
N[innehaha were impossible, but the lead had
been kept gong since noon Sunday, when
Sbipman Head was sighted, Captain Lay
land, thinking himself southwark of the
island, after backing out, headed in a south
westerly direction, when suddenly his vessel
went aground.
She grated along for a few yards and then
crashed into the solid rock. There was no
mistaking the fact that the vessel had been
hard hit and wireless messages and signals
of distress were Immediately sent out. Boats
from Bryher Island put out and the steam
er's boats were made ready and filed with
women. There was not the slightest sign
of panic, both the men of the ship and the
passengers showing the utmost bravery.
Mr.. Robert King, of Schenectady, N. Y,
one of the passenger, describing the acct
dent, said =
''The first three days out from New York
were fine, but the last three or four days the
weather was overcast. | had turned in

Lloyd-George a letter which he had pre-
viously sent to the Chancellor and which
contained a reiteration of the proposed con-
c%esslons. AS no witness was present at the
reading, Mr.. OBrien said the Chancellor had
thought it safe to issue his denial that such
a letter had either been received or read to
him. Mr.. O'Brien added =
''The matter involves the honor and char
acter of the Minister, and, great parsonage
as he is, he thereby raises an issue of truth
fulness and straight dealing, which / am
quite willing shall be judged by those who
know me and know him"
Mr., Lloyd-George in reply declared again
that Mr.. OBrien's account Of their inter
view was grossly inaccurate. The Chan
ceIlor admitted that upon their second in
teryiew Mr.. O'Brien had read him a memo
randum of what had occurred at their ear
Her meeting, but he said that the first he
had beard of the letter described by Mr.
O'Brien was from the newspapers.
The Chancellor warmly reproached Mr.,
O'Brien for publishing an account OF q pri-
yate interview without asking permission,
and protested that Mr.. O'Brien was the
only man in that House, out of a hundred
to whom he had given interviews, who had
been guilty of a breach Of confidence. When
Mr.. OBrien had commenced to read from
his memorandum the Chancellor said he had
stopped him, telling him he was not in o
position to make promises.
Mr.. Redmond's Attitude.
Mr.. John Redmond briefly announced the
intention of his party to give cordial sup
port to the governments policy and the
budget, because financial injustice to Ire
land was only remediable by securing home
rule, and the merits or dement's Of the bud
get were trivial in comparison with the
abolition Of the veto power of the House Of
Lords.
Mr.. A. J. Balfour, leader Of the opposi-
tion, said he would not comment on the
personal question beyond saying that Min
listers interviews with their opponents ought
to be treated as private. He proceeded
strongly to deprecate the governments bar
gain with Mr.. Redmond and the manner in
which the Ministers had dragged in the
Kings tame.
Mr.. Asquith, in closing the debate, re
poated his emphatic denial that there had
been any bargain or agreement between the
government and Mr.. Redmond.-N 7. Her

between Canada and the West Indies, as
the people in those islands had always been
afraid to make . treaty with Canada be-
cause Of their fear Of American retaliation,
Mr.. Fielding, defending the new arrange
ments, said that while he believed that Ca
NADIA would be less injured by a tariff war
than the United States the imposition Of
the maximum tariffs would, in regard to
certain industries, make trade practically
impossible.-Doj{y Nail, 4pr1 End

continue very firm for refining kinds, while
as regards crystallised public sales have been

this sugar to London for the week ending

this year to $50 tons against 8,7G7 tons

The refined market opened firmly after

prices advanced rapidly, afterwards reced-
ing slightly on Cuban receipts being higher
than expected. At the close a strong tone

after the ship struck boats arrived from
