Apparently It ought to be an easy matter to determine how much money a congress has appropriated, but the partisan experts are always millions apart In their estimates.

There are times when a count Is hardly a drawing card for any hostelry. A New Jersey farmer took a drink of carbolic acid by mistake for "Jersey lightning" and died. Probably he wasn't accustomed to such light drinks and his system was surprised beyond recovery. Gen. De Campos, the pacificator of Cuba, doubtless belongs to the old school of pacificators, who believed the best rebel was a dead rebel.

Spain is true to its cruel traditions in dealing with Cuba, and it is no wonder the fleeced people rise. According to the returns of the assessors there is not a single cigarette dealer in the Ohio counties of Knox, Athens and Fairfield. This is another evidence that rural conservatism and common sense are powerful saving forces in civilization. Gov. Sheakley of Alaska, who has been visiting Washington to file his annual report, says that the big territory in time will be famous in many ways, but most of all in its mines.

Even now Alaska is contributing steadily to the world's supply of gold. A number of women in Chicago have organized a society for the cultivation of the art of conversation. The idea is a good one, but there may be people cynical enough to suggest that a society should also be organized for the cultivation of the art of silence. Perhaps Uncle Russell Sage had accumulated a mortgage on some Bible publishing establishment.

"In tomorrow's paper," says the Philadelphia Times, "will be announced the winners of the second Baby contest and a new contest will be opened, which will be found the most entertaining of the series. In this the question will be whether the originals of the portraits given are married or single." And yet there are skeptics who pretend that Philadelphia newspapers are not quite at the apex of the wedge of progress. We believe it is now tolerably well understood by foreign nations in general, and Great Britain in particular, that if a canal is to be built across any portion of this continent, connecting the Atlantic and Pacific, that canal will be controlled, if not absolutely owned, by this republic. It may be asserted with equal precision and vehemence that when Hawaii is connected by cable with any other portion of the world, the wire and both landings will be under control of the United States.

Peace to his departed spirit, and may his celestial robes come up to his most critical expectations. An esteemed contemporary which is striving to convince some sixty Chicago couples that they are not married at all because the Milwaukee priest who married them failed to properly record the marriages, is doing society bad service.

All Druggists. SO cents and SI. Coroner's Jury Impaneled and Identifying the Bodies. Salt Lake, March 21. A special to the Tribune from Evanston, Wyoming, says: Ever since the explosion at Red Canon mine work has progressed steadily, gaining access to the mine, bringing out the dead and caring for the bereaved families.

Not one in the mine at the time of the explosion escaped, all being instantly killed. There may be more than sixty killed but that is the numebr shown after carefully checking the roll. Of those who were injured around the mine, Dr. Gamble, the resident mine physician, has about twenty-five under treatment. This morning David G.

Thomas, state inspector, arrived and will remain until all the bodies are recovered and will thoroughly inspect the mine. He says he considered this the best ventilated and safest mine in the state, being free from gas and having plenty of safety apMances. All agree that the cause of the explosion was a miner putting in a charge of powder to throw down a big amount of coal for the next morning. This charge set fire to what is known as explosion dust. This dust is of minute particles of coal mixed with air.

and made the dangerous compound which caused the destruction of property and carried so many men to instant death. The work of bringing out the dead is necessarily slow since after getting the few men in the manway near the exit others were far down in the mine and, besides those killed in the manway the balance met death on the seventh and eighth levels, one-third of a mile down the slope, so steep as to make it difficult and laborious. Some of the bodies were partly covered with debris, hence requiring searching parties to find them, but most of them were lying fully exposed. W. J.

Cassin, the coroner of Uintah county, impanelled a jury which reviewed the remains brought out, identified them and permitted relatives to take possession of the bodies for burial. Salt Lake and Omaha were tele-graphejLfpr coffins and the burial of the victims will occur as soon as possible. The distress of the bereaved calls loudly for aid. Of the fifty-one women who have been bereft of protection and siport of husbands, they, with their families, probably make a total of 300 persons, fully worthy of the deepest sympathy. There remain yet in the mine, about forty bodies.

Out of Sixty-One Affected, Fifty-Eight were Instantly Killed. Denver. March 21. A special to the News from Evanston, says: It is now known that at least sixty men are beyond the reach of human help; that fifty-one women are Widows at Red Canon today, who were happy wives yesterday and that from 200 to 250 little children are fatherless. Nine of the sixty victims of this terrible disaster were boys or young unmarried men, seven men were killed outside at the mouth of the slope, fifteen scarred and mutilated bodies have been recovered from the gruesome depths of the mine and thirty-eight others have thus far defied all efforts to reach them.

With the bodies of the seven men killed at the surface, the total recovered is twenty-two. The work of recovery goes slowly on because of the insecurity of the men engaged in it. The first party to go dov.n had to be rescued, having been overcome by the noxious gases and fumes of burnt human flesh and the stench of the singed and charred mules that were caught with the unfortunate men in this cave of death. The violence and consequent fatality of the explosion surpasses belief. Out of sixty-one persons affected fifty-eight were killed instantly, so doctors a.nd old miners say.

One, a boy, Jerry Crawford, died in his father's arms while being carried home and within a few minutes another, Mr. Maltby, while having no external bruises, and being 100 feet from the mouth of the mine at the time, lingered two hours, and Andrew Mason, the only person who survived longer, is now at the point of death, his skull having been fractured by flying pieces ofimber. TREATED THE ORE TWICE. Alleged Smooth Scheme of the Lessees of a Gold Mine. Colorado Springs, March 21.

Solon McCloskey and Tremont Mc-Closkey, arrested at Cripple Creek on the charge of stealing ore from the Union Gold Mining company, were brought to this city and released after furnishing $5,000 bail each. The complaint alleges that systematic stealing was carried on for about one year and aggregates a sum of between $50,000 and $100,000. The McCloskey brothers had a lease on the main workings of the Pikes Peak lode, which they secured from the Union company. Some time ago the royalty on ore from the lase dropped to a very low figure. The company began an investigation which resulted in the arrest of the brothers.

It was claimed that their method was to chip off gold-bearing rock from the quartz they mined and subject it to a. process of their own in order to get the gold out of it. The ore they had subjected to this test was it is charged, mixed with common rock on the dump and shipped to the smelter. Consequently the smelter returns were not half what they would have been had not the Greater part of the gold been cut out of the quartz, the retorts thus secured being kept by the miners, who did not have to share the profits.

England's Foreign Secretary Thinks Chief MtaaJa Rather Unreasonable. London, March 21.

Postal Employes Combining: to Secure Jt sired Legislation. Washington, March 18.

The postofflcf. department has Information the fori mation of a powerful combination ol postal employes, designed to bring pressure upon congress to overtunr certain regulations and rules of the department. The employes have been encouraged by their success in attaching to the lasf postoffice appropriation bill an amendment which suspended an order of th department. This order was Issued last June and directed that by the firsl of May, 1895, all railway mail service employes should remove to some point along the line of the route on which was employed. This was unsatisfac tory to most of the clerks and the eb tained the legislation overruling the order.

The reason for issuing the order Is ex. plained at the department as necessary because at the time that the order was issued there were about 4,300 of the 7,000 in the service who did not live on the lines where they worked. When there was an accident or anything else that requires emergency men, those who were on leave and away from the line where they worked escaped the extra duty and it fell upon those living on the route. Of the 1,300 who were living off the lines where they worked about 300 have notified the department that they have or will remove their homes to the point requested. Probably all of them will so remove notwithstanding the legislation overruling the order.

The department is now informed that since the failure of legislation in the last congress increasing the pay of employes, a combination has been formed to pass this legislation and also to overturn those rules of the department which are unsatisfactory to them. A high official in the department said today: "This combination includes some thousands of employes in the railway mail service, the letter carrier service and in postoffices. They are all In the classified service and protected from removal. The effect of this combination would be to create a sentiment against the civil service law which protects these employes." First Lieutenant Charles E. Shoemaker has been promoted to be captain in the revenue marine service.

This is understood to be preliminary to his appointment as chief of the service to succeed the late Captain Sheppard. William T. Brayton, a clerk in the pension office who came here from Wisconsin, dropped dead on the street today. Secretary Smith says that it is probable that proclamations will not be issued opening lands within the next three weeks. The pioclamations that have been prepared for opening the Yankton reservation in South Dakota and the Siletz reservation in Oregon, provide that within thirty days after being issued, the lands shall opened The weather would not be propitious for land opening thirty days hence and so the proclamation will not issue.

A large number of income tax returns are being received at the niternal rev-em bureau. They show a very satisfactory acquiescence on the part of the taxpayers in all the regulations governing the collection of the tax. The utmost secrecy as to the amount and character of the returns is being observed. President Cleveland is 58 years old today. There was however, no special observance of the day at the White house and the president kep telose to his desk as usual.

Several cougratulatory telegrams were received and several of his intimate friends called, while others sent their congratulations accompanied by baskets of flowers. M'CREARY SAYS HE DIDN'T. Judge Dixon Was Not Commissioned and Need Make no Report Washington, March 18. The report brought by Judge Dixon of Butte, Mont from Hawaii, that Queen Lil's sentence will be commuted and a general election called for the election of a president is not credited by officials here. They cite the clause of the Hawaiian constitution declaring that Sanford Gallard Dole has been made president of the republic of Hawaii to hold office until December, 1900.

Representative McCreary, who is referred to in the dispatch from Butte, as having commissioned ex-Congressman Dixon to make an investigation at Hawaii, says: "I wish to deny the whole story. I never sent Judge Dixon to Hawaii and did not know of his going until after he had gone. He went to recuperate the health of his son, Mrs. Dixon remaining at San Francisco with a relative of mine. I never, heard of an investigation of Hawaii for myself or for the foreign affairs committee and I have not and will not receive a report on that subject." TREY KNEW THE GIRL.

Adams House, Boston, Suicide Identified as Clara P. Hathaway. Boston, March 21. The Adams house suicide was this noon positively Identified as Clara P. Hathaway by three women, residents of this city, but their names are concealed, who called at the undertaker's rooms.

One woman stated that she had met the dead girl two years ago and that she knew she was in love with "Dick" Laird and she be-llved unrequited affection and financial troubles caused the suicide. Pittsburg, March 21. The identification of the woman who committed suicide at the Adams house in Boston as Ada Hathaway forms a new chapter in a scandal which first came to the surface in this city on August 6 last In the evening of that date Ada Hathaway called at the office of the wholesale shoe house of Laird Ray and had a long conversation with Richard Laird, one of the partners. What passed between them is not known but Laird was seen to push her through the door. When she tried to force her way back again the police took her In charge.

On the way to the police station she placed in her mouth a handkerchief saturated with chloroform but was taken from her before any damage was done. On the morning after her arrest she promised to leave town and was escorted to the hotel where she had been stopping by an officer. Upon reaching her room sbe placed a revolver to her breast and threatened to kill herself if anyone approached her. Finally, after much persuasion, she was provided with a ticket and $20 by Laird, and took a train for Boston. But upon arriving at Philadelphia she took the first train back to Pittsburg.

The following day she retained an attorney and entered suit against Laird for the part he took in forcing her to leave the city, and afterwards entering a suit for breach of promise of marriage. A short time after the scandal came out the firm of Laird Ray was dissolved and the former left the citv. Free A Gift.

Red Canyon, March 21. A terrific explosion at Rocky Mountain mine No. 6, near here, is believed to have killed eighty men who are imprisoned in the mine in addition to ten who are in the power house above the ground or near the shaft openings. Slopes and entries to the lower mine workings are all blockaded by the wreckage and it is thought at least three days will be required for rescue parties to reach the bodies in the mine. The horror occurred at 5:45 yesterday evening at No.

5 Central Pacific mine, at Red Canyon, five miles north of Evanston. The explosion in the mine shook the whole country around, wreck ed the power house, fan house and several buildings, entailing a heavy loss, but the death roll far overshadows other considerations. Edwin Cox, outside carpenter; James Bruce, outside boss; James W. Clark, William Sellers, and James Ger-nally, an Australian, were killed in the power house, while O. Maltby, foreman, erry Crawford and Andrew Mason were injured and died soon afterwards, the last three being around the power house at the ti me of the explosion.

A fw hours later the dead bodies of James Limb and Fred Morgan were brought out from the slope only a short distance down, but as this is written, there is around the mine a great throng of people anxiously inquiring regarding friends known to be in the mine, and all hope of any of them being alive is gone. No one after seeing the ghastly spectacle presented by the two bodies after being brought out of the slope could have hopes of any one in the mine being alive. These bodies were burned and blackened with garments torn to shreds, making it almost impossible to identify them. How many were in the mine at the time of the explosion will take some time to tell, but the best information obtainable now places the number at over eighty. Nearly all known to be killed leave large families.

Immediately after the explosion Superintendent Bradbury telegraphed to Evanston for all the physicians with an extra train. Many families are bereft of fathers and sons. A more sorrowful community could not be found; women, children, men, mourning the loss of husband, father or brother. The explosion is described by many as the most terrific, shaking the whole town and causing women and children to run into the streets crying, "Oh, my husband!" and "Oh, my papa!" with raised hands imploring for the safety of beloved ones. The explosion is supposed to have come from a blast setting fire to the dust, making a dust explosion, since the mine was supposed to be free from gas.

This is the third disastrous explosion in this vicinity. In 1881, Rocky Mountain mine No. 2 exploded, killing thirty-six Chinese and four white men. In 1886 Uunion Pacific mine No. 4 killed thirty-six men.

It is now inferred from the company's lists and pay rolls that sixty men perished in the mine disaster at Red Canyon. The greater part of the men who have perished are covered with debris at the seventy foot level where they were gathered awaiting the car. Work is being pushed with all vigor to uncover the dead. There is no fire in the mine. LIST OF DEAD CORRECTED.

Fatalities Amount to Sixty, with Few Bodies Recovered. Evanston, Wyo. March 21. The total number now known to have perished in the mine disaster at Red Canon yesterday evening is sixty, of which fifty-one are married men and dnine young men and boys. Up to this hour the bodies of the following out of a total of fifty-three who met their death in the mine have been recovered and returned to their relatives.

SAMUEL CLAY. SAMUEL HUTCHINSON. WILLIAM MORRIS. THOMAS BOOTH. BENJAMIN COLES.

CHARLES CLARK. WILLIAM BROWN. JAMES LAMB. FRED MORGAN. The first seven were single men.

The others were all men of large families. This leaves thirty-eight unrecovered bodies in the mine. The timbering is largely blown out and the walls and roof of the whole interior are wrecked and shattered so that the volunteer searching party of eighteen now seeking the bodies of their comrades are every moment in danger of being buried. A coroner's Jury has been empaneled which views the remains as brought to the surface and turned over to relatives. The agonizing screams of widows and children about the mouth of the mine beggars description.

The mules that were in the mine are so burnt that they have to be removed on account of the odor before work can proceed. AITGELD HAS SIGNED IT. Chicago Federation's Civil Service Bill Be comes a Law. Springfield, 111., March 21. The governor of Illinois having signed the civil service reform bill which finally passed the senate yesterday, that measure now becomes a law.

It is practically the bill prepared by the Civic federation of Chicago, and although assigned primarily for the benefit of that city, it has been so arranged as to apply to all smaller cities of the state. In order to secure its adoption, however, in these other places, it will be necessary for it to be submitted to vote of their citizens principal object is to do away as largely as possible with the workings of the secret system and thereby to enable the creation and maintenance of a more effective public service in the municipalities. Arrested After the Fight. Galena, March 21. In spite of the governor's instructions to the sheriff that the fight between Purtell and Johnson must not be permitted to go on, the fight did come off last night.

After the fight the principals and their sec-ends were placed under arrest. Purtell knocked Johnon out after twenty-two rounds of hard fighting. Johnson was terribly punished and was unconscious fully ten minutes after receiving his knockout blow. Purtell conceded nearly thirty pounds in weight. CtOSIJNG IN ON FORMOSA.

Japanese Fleet Approaches the Island from the East. London, March 21. The Times has this dispatch from its Shanghai correspondent, which will be published tomorrow: A Japanese fleet is reported off the Pescador islands, which lie a short distance to the eastward of central Formosa, being separated from that island by the Formosa Torpedoes to prevent the entrance of the Japanese vessels have been placed in the harbor of Amoy, a treaty port of the province of Fullien, which is separated from the Pescador islands by the narrow Pescador channel.

WHEELER-STERLING SHELL HAS BEEN TESTED. Unauthenticated Telegram Not Sufficient For Arrest National Christian League Discusses Certain Phases of Divorce to Promote Social Purity. Washington, March 23. Two tests took place at the proving grounds at Indian "Head today, one of Wheeler-Sterling projectiles and of Hurst gun. The first Was eminently successful, but the latter was a disappointment.

The projectile test was of a 13-inch shell, one of a lot of 400 furnished by the WheeleifSterling, steel company. By the terms of the specifications the selected shell was required to pass through a seven inch nickel steel plate without being broken up. It was fired with a striking velocity of 500 feet per second, and passed through the plate and sank about ten feet Into the butt behind it, whence it was dug out practically uninjured. This shot decided the acceptance of the lot. These shells are of forged steel and have a large chamber which contains a bursting, charge of sixty pounds of powder when in actual service.

In the tests the place of the powder is taken by sand so as to secure the proper weight. The second test of the day consisted of experiments with the Hurst gun, for the purpose of ascertaining the velocity obtainable with it for given charges The projectiles used weighed 200 pounds and the total powder charge about 185 pounds. An ordinary service gun of the same calibre would give a velocity of about 2,500 feet with this charge. The Hurst gun has the powder divided into two parts, one of them in a primary charge of ten pounds for starting the projectile and the other a main charge of 175 pounds for giving it its velocity. At previous tests a velocity of 2,400 feet was obtained but it was suspected that part of the projectile was broken off by the discharge, and that it was thus so much reduced in weight that these figures were unduly high.

At the test today two shots were fired with resulting velocities of 2,088 and 2,006 feet, the second powder charges being 175 and 177 pounds respectively. These results are considered very poor and as the gun is more difficult to handle and the ammunition more awkward to prepare and load, there will probably be no further tests of it. HABEAS CORPUS WAS GOOD. Unauthenticated Telegram Not Sufficient for an Arrest. Columbia, S.

March 23. Some time ago Chief of Police Daly received a telegram from the chief of police of Council Bluffs, asking him to arrest Secrest Reife if he came to Columbia. Reife arrived today from Charlotte with a car load of horses and other farming implements. Daly arrested him. He employed an attorney who sued out a warrant of habeas corpus, claiming he had no right to arrest Reife, as they had no warrant beyond an unauthenticated telegram.

Reife was released, through another telegram was received stating a warrant would be forwarded and extradition proceedings instituted. -TO PROMOTE SOCIAL PURITY. National Christian League Discusses Certain Phases of Divorce. New York, March 23. The annual business of the National, Christian league for the promotion of social purity was held today at the residence of its president, Mrs.

Elizabeth B. Grannis. The principal matter discussed was the new industrial home which the league is to open on May 1 There was a general discussion on hygienic and physiological facts and a bill which the league has introduced into the legislature at Albany regarding the social evil of the present laws governing divorce. The league proposes that where any couple sue for divorce on the statutory ground, that the guilty party be not only freed from the matrimonial yoke, but be fined not less than $1,000 or imprisonment for from one to five years.

AGAINST THE STRONG. Impending Freight Rate Conflict in llt Western Trunk Line. Chicago, March 23. On Monday tho president and general managers of the roads interested in the Trunk Line pool will hold a meeting here and discuss the question of a division of freight. The Burlington, Missouri Pacific and some others have repeatedly been compelled to turn over freight to their competitors and this while their own earnings were showing marked decreases.

They have objected to the existing scale of divisions and will ask that they be reduced. The weaker lines naturally have strong objections to any such proceedings and desire the percentages to be kept as they are. The earnings of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul for the third week in March were $509,825, a decrease of $58,594 from the corresponding week of last year. BUTTER MADE FROM WHEY.

Cornell Agricultural Department a Great Discovery. Ithaca, March 23. 'he agricultural department at Cornell claims to have made an important discovery which will prove of great economic value to farmers. It is found that butter fat can be extracted from whey Ly runnig it through a separator. The department now has in press a bulletin explaining the process.

It is estimated that the general adoption of the rro-cess would save the agricultural interests of New York state nearly $1,000,000 a year, or to put it in another way, that the entire expense making cheese would be paid by the saving of what has heretofore been a waste. ONE BODY NOT FOUND. Walter Miller's Remains are Still in the Red Canyon Mine. Evanston, March 23. Searching parties in the Almy mine have recovered all the bodies except that of Walter Miller.

Of the number killed, thirty- two were members of the Mormon church. President Joseph Smith, Elder Seymour and others will arrive tomorrow from Salt Lake to attend the funeral. Denver, March 23. A special to the News from Cheyenne, says: Governor Richards today issued an appeal to the people of the state to lend material assistance to the widows and orphans of the Red Canon mine. Several large social organizations have offered to give entertainments to that end.

Many leading citizens are taking hold of the matter in a way that promises to make the fund a large one. TOLD TO MOVE ON. Commercial Travelers Have a Hard Time of it in Arkansas. Little Rock, March 23.

Every city on the lines of railroad in the state except Little, Rock today quarantined against all commercial travelers. Several drummers arrived here today and reported that they were not permitted to get off at any station along the line of the Iron Mountain. The same reports come from the Little Rock and Memphis road. The local authorities claim the Camden case, wherein Sam Buckelow, a traveling man from Kansas City, was taken with small pox yesterday, justifies the action. Several exposed parties were made to leave Camden today.

The Ouichita hotel at Camden, where Buckelow stopped, has been closed and the inmates and boarders, are quarantined in the house. "In view of the benefit I have had from.
