District Attorney Harris has re-
turned from an investigation of the
explosion. He says FIVE tons of pow
dor had been placed at tho mouth of
the tunnel prior to loading the
pockets" and ton and half OF the
powder had been placed in position
when the explosion occurred II Ia
supposed the entire FIVE tons went of.
Foreman Mcclure had appeared at
the mouth oft he tunnel few minutes
before the disaster and had taken
back with him to the powder chamber
pair Of plpcers. It Is supposed that
the electric wires, which were used to
supply light in the tunnel, were dis
connected and the plncers were for
tho purpose of uniting them. Those
who have offered an explanation Of
the explosion say that Mcclure may
have caused an electric spark in re-
pairing the wire line and In that man
ner may have lgnited the mine"
A steam shovel was placed at work

extensive that II will be two weeks

DOCT0RING A
SICK LION
AN EXPERIENCE THAT HAP
PENED AT CAMPBELL
BROS. WINTER
QUARTERS.

During the past winter one of the
two-year-old Lions with Campbell
Brothers Consolidated Shows became
very sick; at first 1t was thought that
bone had become lodged In the
Lions throat. To enable them TO find
,, this out. the Lion was forced into n
small animal crate. and board placed
above and below his neck, making
It impossible for him 10 move. The
crate was then turned bottom up, the
door opened, and the Lions jaws
forced open; then a large wooden
block was placed between his teeth
SO that he could not bite. q piece OF
copper wire. as a swab, was thon run
down his throat. but no bone was
found. The Lion was released, but
next day was found TO be worse. so n
consultation of veterinary doctors was
called, and after an examination they
decided he had diphtberln.
He was then taken to a steam-heat-
cd room. where an attendant kept him
wrapped in hot blankets, which were
changed every half hour. His throat
and tongue were SO swollen that he
could Mother eat nor drink HIS
medicine, as well as his nourishmcnt,
| was given by the aid of a syringe.
For over week be was watched cnre-
fully by his keepers. night and day.
and during all his severe Illness he
was as docile as kitton. seeming to
realize that those around him were
trying 10 relieve his sufforings. Aft
cr much care and worry on the part
OF his owners he soon began TO re-
cover and today Is one OF the big

A MEMORIAL TO LINCOLN.

Senator Cullom's proposal for a me
mortal to Abraham Lincoln in Wash
ington makes its own argument. 1t
suggest an adequate expression of ma
tional sentiment. 1t assumes properly
that the place for such a monument is
the capital of the nation, and it as
sumes, with greater propriety, that the
nation wants the monument there.
Senator Cullom, in his discussion of
the project published yesterday morn
ing in The Tribune, considers the eff
fort made a few years ago to promote
the building of memorial road be
tween Washington and Gettysburg, but
says:
81 have not been disposed to favor
such a proposition, because my idea
of a memorial is that it should remain
for all time to come and | do not know
whether the American people of flu
ture generations would for all time
support such a road"
1t is to be hoped that congress will
be willing to provide for the national
capital a monument to Abraham Lin
coin, ''memorializing together as Sen
ator Cullom suggests, the names OF
