HEPBURN AGAIN
 RAPS THE SOUTH
DECLARES IT IS wNTOLERABlE z" THAT DEEDS BE REFERRED
 TO IN LAWS.
Senator Taylor of Tennessee Defends the Confederate Cause in
 Sharp Debate.

Washington.-The bitterness be- tween Senator Hepburn of Idaho and Senator Williams of Mississippi on the subject of the Confectionery broke out anew in the senate. Senator Hey burn objected to the taking up of a bill apDropriating $100,0 for Con federate naval monument in the Nieksburg national park Senator Williams won its consideration by a vote of go to 19
 The Vicksburg park commission and the senate committee on military af- fairs had approved the measure, and MT Williams said it was desired to have the monument complete for the semi-centennial blue and gray re- union at Vicksburg in 1s13"
 Senators Gummins of Iowa and Works of California urged it's pas sage. Senator Hepburn again at tackled the principle of federal recog- hilton of Confederate acts, and Sen ator Williams abruptly left the cham Der when he began to speak.
 Mir Hepburn declared it was "in- tolerable' that the deeds of Confed- crate armies should be reeited in laws that call upon the public treasury for contributions. He characterized the history of the war between the states as history of murder"
 He attacked the newspapers, declar- ing many of them were disloyal and were delighted to express their disloy- alty. He had been characterized as waving the bloody flag in the sen ate he said, and had been so mis- represented that he was receiving scores of anonymous letters from towards threatening him with phy. sical violence for his opposition to the use of government funds to recog- nize Confederate service" he said,
 Senator Taylor of Tennessee took up the Confederate issue
 The war is over," he said "Tfme has pulled down the forts and healed the wounds. The men who wore the gray delight to honor the men who wore the blue, but they do not delight to honor the men who never smelled powder and who stand here and un- Timber their batteries of bitterness against the simple proposal to erect monuments to Southern heroes"
 Senator Heyburh displayed a letter he had received from Little Rock, Ark, the envelope of which bore a representation of the Confederate 1lag. He said the postoffice authori- ties said there was no law to prevent the use of the flag on mail matter.
 No law ought to be needed" said Senator Hepburn. There is but one flag in this nation entitled to such reproduction.
 The envelope in question was one Used by the entertainment commit lee at Little Rock during the recent Confederate reunion.

SCORE OF MINERS
 DIE IN EXPLOSION
ACCIDENT SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A POCKET
 OF GAS.
Not Singi. Survivor-Bodies A.e Found Locked in Each Others
 Embrace.

Skyesville, Pa.-Tw enty-one miners were killed in an explosion in the
 shaft of the Cascade Coal 6 Coke Company's mine at this place. All of the dead but three are for ejgners.
 The explosion was slight, as evi denced by the small damage done to the mine, but the deadly after
 damp was responsible for most of the deaths.
 Three sets of brothers and father and son are numbered among the dead. George and John Heck, Nick
 Pavelick and bis 14-year-old son were found by the rescuers locked in each others arms, as though they had em-
 braced each other in their dying mo-
 ments. None of the bodies was mutt lated and few showed any burns. Eleven of the men apparently made l ready to escape, for they carried their
 dinner pails and were headed for the
 opening.
 The first information of the explo- sion at the surface was when the safety door on the fan flew open and
 the machinery began to run wild. Ii took some time to get to the scene
 of the accident, mile and a half from the opening, because the res
 cuers were obliged to carry oxygen l with them.
 Neither mine officials nor mine in speetors can assign any cause for the | explosion, as there are no survivors
 from whom to gain an explanation but it is the general belief that some
 of the men drilled into pocket oi gas.

The objection of the hotel manager tn

would be less valuable as a feature of
the hotel If they dispensed with their

So we can see how the San Francisco
