sousA AND HIS RANp.

The personnel of Sousa's Band is
of the highest efficiency and the dis
tinguished conductor and COMPOSER
prides himself on the fact that he
spares neither expense nor labor to
obtain the best musicians. In fact,
Sousa has been known to abandon a
tour when he found it impossible to
secure the players he desired. He is
the despair of his managers, for he
refuses to cut down the number of his
musicians, and the band that will be
heard on September u at the Bijou
Theater will consist of the same sixty
men with which Sousa began his tou

C0NKLING IN
SAN FRANCISCO

The Call says: Hawaii is making
great preparations for the opening OF
the Panama Canal" said ID. L. Conk
ling, treasurer of the Territory of Ha.
wall, at the Stewart Hotel yesterday
He has just returned from the East
where he disposed of 81 800, 600 bond
issue for the Territory, the proceeds
of which will be used in various in
ternal Improvements, principal among
which are harbor engagements, which
will be necessary to meet the trade
expansion expected with the OPENING
of the Panama Canal.
Conkling disposed of the bond issue
more advantageously than any other
ever authorized by tue Territorial
government, placing the $1,5OO,OOO is
sue in Boston, Cincinnati, indianapolis
and Evansville at a premium of 1853.
The bonds are twenty-thirties at per
cent
'Harbog Improvements, road work,
public buildings, water works and
sewers will get the major portion of
the proceeds of the ISSUE" said Conk-
ling. THE Territory's total bonded
Indebtedness now is $5,5OO,OOO. The
needs are great, owing to the rapid
develop ment of the country. In Homo
lulu, water works facilities are too
few, and the growth of the city is
making the problem of supplying ade-
quate sewerage equipment difficult.
The need of harbor improvements is
great. Very few people seem to real
ize what great ports we have. The
customs district comprising the Ha-
waiian Islands is thirteenth in the
United States in the amount of its
customs duties. The customs collec-
tions are three times greater than
those of all the other United States
territories together"

SHEEP AS BURDEN BEARERS.

GIN the northern part of India sheep
are put to use unthought of in Eur

among the foothills of the Himalayas
are so preciI itous that the sheep,
more sure-footed than larger beasts,
are preferred as burden carriers.
The load for each sheep is from SIX

 OVER DISASTER Life More Precious Than Stockholders Dividends" MUST HAVE MINE LAW Alabama's Governor Says He Will Have Mining Law For Proven

 to Call Extra Session
MUST HAVE MINE LAW

Montgomery. April s.-iSpeciaL)-' q am going to have mining law fol the state of Alabama if I have to call an extra session of the legislature We have been delaying this important matter too long. Life is more precious than stockholders dividends" said Gov. Emmet O'Neal shortly before mid night tonight The chief executive oi the state was dressed In his room at .he time awaiting more particulars or the dreadful holocaust at the I-ittleton mine early today.
 Official report of the disaster had not reached the governor up to mid night but the seriousness of the re- ports which he received was voiced in his expression tonight. He said that Alabama with it's splendid industrial resources has too long left unprotected the lives of its miners and that the time has now come when full repara- ton should be made by the passage of a measure which will tend to prevent such a fatality as the one of today.
 Promptly upon receiving intelligence of the explosion the governor dis matched all of the state mining inspect ors to the scene with orders to mak Q a full investigation of the disaster and to render every possible aid in recoV ering the dead or living bodies.
 The governor did not state whether or not he would make a recommends . tion that eonvicts be not allowed to work in mines though he was frank and determined in his desire to have such a mining law passed as will less en such horrors as the one in Ala bama today. He expressed regrets that the Holis mining law. which passed the house of representatives on Friday, but which was reconsidered. had been switched off the track. but he sees hopes in the amended Morrow bill, which Is now before the house. He says that he will add to that bill such a amendments as he thinks will give tn e desired relief.

New York, April .-(Special.)-Th engineers of the national board of fire underwriters have just completed a re-inspection of the fire hazard con- ditions in the city of Birmin gham, Ala. The engineers found considerable to criticise. although many of the i'm wfRY ements suggested in their first re- port had been carried out. Regarding the city's conflagration hazard the en- gineers say:
 Improvements in structural condi- tions in the congested value district have been slight; severe individual fir $ or local conflagrations are proba ble because construction is mainly light 1oisted brick with unprotected floor openings, and there is very little pro- tection to party wall openings or to the many seriously exposed windows Streets are wide, high winds are infre- quent, most of the buildings are low and of moderate size the water supply is good and the fire department is
