over the body of Ralph Kenney. son or Rev. J. A. Kenney Almost a con stant stream of mourners went back and forth from the little village grave. yard, mile away from the camp. To one unaccustomed to such scenes it seemed that every wagon passing through the main thoroughfares of uhe town bore one or more severely piain pine box enclosing coffin.
 Broken and bruised and with the flesh almost dropping from the bones It IS impossible to clothe the bodies Tor the grave. Battened with lint and wound in sheets of muslin, they are deposited in caskets which are then lifted into the farm wagons fo transportation to either a stricken home or the newly dug graves. Such Is the condition of the bodies that they cannot be long kept and most of them are borne to the cemetery as fast as the graves can be made ready to receive them. Twelve bodies have been embalmed for shipment to dis. tant points.
 The United Mine Workers of dis trict 2l, today opened relief head quarters in the stricken camp with Secretary Fred w. Holt in charge.

 St Joseph, Mo, March 22.--Two armed men who had terrorized pas sengers on Burlington train No. 43 from Kansas City, were captured by police officers after a fight in the chair car as the train drew into the union station here tonight They gave their names as Don and John Ray, 22 and 19 years of age, respect lively, and had tickets from Frank lin, N C., to Billings, Mont. Revol- vers and a quantity of ammunition were taken from the men.
 Passengers on the train say they became nervous when the two were discovered examining their weapons just as the train drew in at Armour Junction, 22 miles from St. Joseph. The conductor. from that place, wir- ed the St. Joseph police, who waited at one of the stops in the depot yards An officer boarded each end of the chair car as the train stopped and suddenly opening the doors, stepped in, weapons in hand Before the suspects were aware of it. the officers were on top of them. Hand to hand conflicts followed, in which a few of the less timorous passen. gers took hand.
 The men, according to the train crew. had not made any demand that the passengers hold up their hands but one declared he was going to make someone dance to his music.

REPORTS CRUSHING BLOW AD- WHISPERED TO REBELS
 NEAR JlMiNEz.
Eight Hundred Federals Defeat 1900 Rebels With Heavy Losses to the contending
 Armies.

Mexico City, March 22-The van guard of the federal army, numbering 300 men, commanded by General Trucy Aubert, met and defeated 1900 rebels under General Salazar, 2U miles south of Jiminez today, accord ing to reports received at the govern ment offices here.
 For five hours, according to this report, the federals sustained vicious attalks on the part of the rebels whom they finally routed on account of their superior arms and discipline, Gen eral Aubert's force has been advanc- ing steadily from Torreon toward the north for three days, while the rebel body sent out by General Orozco has been moving triumphantly southward from Chihuahua for week. The scouts of the two armies sighted one another at o'clock this morning and preparations began on both sides for an immediate battle. The fight o cured on open ground, giving both forces an excellent opportunity for the employment of their cavalry. Sev- eral machine guns in the hands of the federals are given much of the credit for the reported federal sue cess.
 The report of the battle given out by the government officials here, the only account which reached the city during the day, stated that the rout ed rebels set up nasty retreat foi Jiminez. General Aubert, in posses sion of the battlefield, devoted the afternoon to caring for the dead and wounded, but will resume the north ward march at once, upon being join ed by General Tellez, who is hasten ing northward with strong reinforce ments of artillery.
 Heavy losses are said to have beei experienced on both sides but no fig ures have been given out
 Federal officials here anticipate an other engagement and another sue cess at Jiminez within the next i hours.

FEDERAL CASE
 IS CONCLUDED TESTIMONY IN SUGAR CASE CLOSES AND DEFENSE BEGINS.
 --- Defense States It Will Ask for Dis missaI of the Case When
 Court convenes.

New York, March 22--After 10 days of testimony the government rested it's case today in the trial oi John E. Parsons, Washington B Thomas and other directors of the American Sugar Refining company for alleged criminal violation of the sherman law. This will allow the defense to begin offering testimony Monday, although the attorneys an nounced that their first move would be to ask a dismissal of the indict- ments.
 Closing of the governments case was hastened by an agreement by op- posing attorneys in regard to the pro posal of the government to submit evidence to prove the sugar trusts" alleged policy policy Of ss;;si;s s.es Charles R. Heike, the convicted for mer secretary of the company, had testified along this line, District At torney Wise agreed to waive his evi- dence on condition that the defense should supply statement showing what refineries the trust" had shut down.
 The defense today succeeded ill having ruled out government evi- dences intended to prove further con spiracy on the part of the sugar trnstn to antanela Adnlnh Saeal in debt to clinch it's wounded grip on the Pennsy ylvania Sugar Refining com pany. The evidence had to do with loans alleged to have been made to Segal with trust" money by Gus tave E. Kissel, subsequent to the $1.250,000 loan According to the dis trict attorney, these subsequent loans were made to Segal to keep him in such bad shape financially as to pre-. vent him from paying back the $l,- 250g000 loan, thus preventing his re- finery from being opened.
 Judge Hand ruled that the evidence did not show such conspiracy. but allowed the prosecutor to show that Kissel made subsequent loans for which he personally received stock of the Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company

Changes in Cabinet.

Mexico City, March 22.- Manuel Calero y Sierra, the present minister of foreign relations, will be transfer red in the near future to the post of ambassador at Washington. The port polio of foreign relations which he vacates will be occupied by Pedro Lascauryain, whose appointment was made today line change will be eff fective immediately and 1t is expect ed that pr. Calero will leave for Washington next week. MT. Lascaur- rain is at present president of the city council and was until recently director of the national law school He is known as a neutral politically and has not previously held any inn portant political post, but his politi- cal influence is nevertheless consid- erable.
 MT. Calero, who enters foreign dip lomatic service with the ambassador ship to Washington, has had much experience in Mexican political af- fairs. Besides having served various terms as a congressman, he was min ister of fomento under President Diaz several years ago. He was re- appointed to that post by President De La Barra but was transferred to the ministry of justice. From that office he was again transferred and became minister of foreign relations. He is an orator of ability and law yer by profession.
 Enriqule c. Creel, former ambassa- dor at Washington, characterized the appointment as all extremely wise one.
 Ambassador Gilberto Crespo y Mar tinez will go from Washington to Vienna as minister to Austro-Haf gary.
 A clear superiority in the strength of the administration party in the Mexican chamber of deputies was demonstrated today when that body elected officers to serve through the extraordinary session and the regular session which Is to be- gin on April 2. After preliminary skirmish which clearly showed the strength of the government and in parties, the chamber pro ceeded to elect Guillero obreson, the candidate, president by vote of 106, over Jesus d'Ana, who received 76 votes. This was very small scattered vote.

 Worldwide importance attaches to the secretarys trip and while the full significance probably has never been officially announced. its prime purpose is said to have been to lay the foundations for closer relations between the United States and Latin America to anticipate any possible European aggression in commerce or diplomacy.

ENGLISH COAL STRIKE.
Minimum Wage Bill Psses Pariamen-
 tary Committee.

London, March 23.-The govern ments minimum wage bill. introduce ed by Premier Asquith in an endeavor to bring about settlement of the coal strike, passed through the com mitteo stage in the house of commons at 1:20 o'clock this morning, prac- tically in it's original form. Nearly all the amendments submitted had been withdrawn or defeated
 Whether the bill ever will reach the statute books is questionable, for 1t is not unlikely that a conference of mine owners and miners called by Premier Asquith for Monday will result is1 an agreement, rendering the bill unnecessary. In this case the measure might be withdrawn.
 It is believed labor leaders, having failed to induce the government to define in the bill the minimum rates to be paid underground workers, would prefer settlement without Legislation

 Proffers or financial assistance have been pouring in almost hourly since the disaster, but acceptances hNAt bCCi oPeAt t4ti6AS cAfCh
 Recognition Of the bodies recovered today was only gained by the metal check numbers found beside the bod ies. Each workman checked his car with one of these after he had dug it full of coal.
 It was curious eyes which looked up at Antonio Ayasis when he came sauntering up the mine today. Some at first shrank from him.
 Where did you come from?" an Italian miner asked him.
 T have just come from home" he replied.
 But they have got you numbered as one of the men still in the mine, how did you get out?" Oyasis then explained that he was one of the par " of IA which was rescued alive Thursday morning. When the top was reached Oyasis jumped over the side of the car Onlookers thought he was one of the rescuers, while Le Iescuing party thought they had been mistaken in the number brought up, Oyasis went home immediately. He said he dreaded the sight of the mine.
