Dirt, Snow and Ice.

Duluth, Mich.-Thirty men were
caught In a great slide of earth at the

O'Clock Saturday. The pit is 1875 feet
deep and vas more than half filled
by the avalanche, which came with
out warning and extended $50 feet
beyond where the Victims we're en-
tombed. The catastrophe was quite
unlike anything In the history of iron
mining on the range. The difference
was that 1t came In the form of an
avalanche, Behind and before the pit
were thousands of tons of ore. rocks.

warming OF the atmosphere released

RUSSIA ISSUES ULTIMA7UN
It Is Expected That Russians WI,
Settle Many Disputed Points VIA
China, Including Quarantine.

Pekin.-The Russian minister "
Korostovetz, delivered Russia's uln
matum to the Chinese foreign boara
Tuesday afternoon. III caused mucb
surprise among the officials. wbo
seemed not to realize the gravity q,
the crisis.
M. Korostovetz last week for tho
second time requested permission on
behalf of his government to establish
observation stations along the Amur
and elsewhere on the frontier. He de-.
sired to place doctors and police in
Chinese border towns effectively ia
quarantine the frontier.
China viewed this as an infringe.
ment on her integrity and the Rus.
sian minister was notified that a re-
ply would be given later.
1t is expected here that the kus.
slams will now settle many outstand-
ing matters, including the plague
quarantine, the disputed frontier, the
protection of the railway from Hung
Tze HUI, as we'll as trade, consular
and other differences in connection
with the treaty of 1881.

WARsHIPS ORDERED HOME.
ment That American Vessels Will
Not Patrol Coasts of Mexico.

New York.-The Mexican embassa-
dor and the Mexican minister Of
finance received assurances from
Washington Monday night which con-
vinced them there is sincere co-opera-
ion between the administration OF
President Taft and that of President
Diaz.
1t is not protested that all the ten.
sion has been relieved, and while Am.
erican troops remain in force on the
Mexican border it Is admitted some
tension will continue, but apprehen~
sion was appreciably lessened by the
piece of news.
First in importance was a long tele.
gram to ambassador De La Barra
from the state department announc-
ing that the American warships as
signed to patrol duty on the Pacific
and gulf coasts of Mexico had been
ordered to call at Mexican ports only
for coal and then withdraw promptly.
This action is reassuring to Senior
Limontour. In a recent interview he
said he could consider only the pres
ence of American men of war in Am.
erican waters, so far distant from
their base at Galveston, as part of an
unnecessary effort to impress on Mex.
leo the power of the United States.

WOULD AVOID RESPONSIBILITY
Secretary Knox Said to be Out Of
Sympathy With President in Mob
liking Army on Mexican Border.

Washington. Remarkable rumors
cles on Friday. bearing on the action
Of President Taft In mobilizing an
army near the Mexican border. Sec
rotary Knox and Acting Secretary
Wilson were said to be out of SYM
pathy with Mr.. Taft in this matter,
and to wish to avoid responsibility.
Mr.. Taft gained much OF his infor-
nation from reports made by secret
agents of the departments of war and
Justice, and is said to have largely
ignored the state department in the
whole transaction.
ambassador De la Barra in Wash
ington and Minister Limantour in
New York issued sharp statements in
reply to intimations hat u troops
might cross into Mexico to stop dis
order. They agreed that no govern
ment in that country would consent
to such action, and the people would
resent it.
A statement inspired by the Ger
man government declared that it
would not interfere even if the Unit
ed States should decide to annex
Mexico.
London papers take a serious view
OF the situation in Mexico, and the
concentration of American troops on
the border.
The Spectator points out that the
Germans have never admitted the
Monroe doctrine, and in the event OF
the United States becoming thorough
ly involved in Mexico, 1t would not
be surprised to see Germany pushing
claims in south Brazil or the West
Indies.
The same paper also says it would
be exceedingly awkward at such a
moment If some foolish action in San
Francisco aroused ~ill-feeling in Japan.

The Chandler proposition for the Gre
alton of State board of finance
to consider appropriation measures,
the board to consist of the treasurer
comptroller, one Senator, two Repre-
sentatives and four citizens appointed
by the Governor, carries a meritorious
appearance. 1t is fairly evident that
until some decisive, or at least adj
visory, power outside of the General
Assembly can be exercised, the pro-
cess of xpenditure-increase will con-
tinue. The proposed board would be
better constituted if it's membership
were wholly made up outside of the
General Assembly. Strangely, men
who are economical in their private
and town affairs, appear to catch the
germ of extravaganza Immediately
they become members of the General

A STATE PARK
BOARD WANTED
To Preserve Beauty Spots
from Woodchoppers

Beauty Connecticut was the
sense of the speeches On creating a
State park board before the committee
on agriculture yesterday afternoon.
The duties of state park board, as
defined in the bill, would be to study
Connecticut and report to the next
General Assembly, reporting particu
larly the areas of beauty and the de-
serving woody expanses now threat
ened by the ak. Their sole compen-
sation would be their expenses. The
bill was introduced by Representa-
tive Burr of Westport, president of
the Israel Putnam Memorial Camp
Ground Commission
Mr.. Burr said that Connecticut
wants more New York residents, and
some one should be appointed to de-
term1ne what areas shall be set aside
for forest reserves, to make Connec-
ticut with her shore and streams yet
more beautiful and attractive, Parks
bring the more desirable people. Nat
ural beauties should be reserved be-
fore they are marred. He said that
there were several historical sites in
Connecticut, valuable for perpetuity.
Railroad Commissioner J. Howard
Hale of Glastonbury said that the fin
est natural trees Of the widest variety
grow here in Connecticut. Many of
the beauty spots are of little agricul-
tural value, but their very beauty
would make them valuable. There
is a money value to beauty.
Mr.. Jennings of Green's Farms told
how other states were spending mon
ey for scenic improvement.
No opposition was made, and near
ly everybody in the room arose to
support the bill.
A bill asking that the General AS
sembly accept as a gift to the state
for a forest reserve a tract of land in
