Cansc of the Explosion.
Gas exists in the Nelson mine, and the
men are required to use safety lamps.
It Is the rule of the company for the
safety of the miners to place their fuses,
ready to be lighted for blasts, just befon.
quitting work each day, and there are
workmen known as "fire men," who go
through the mine after all the miners are
out, and set off these blasts. The miners
quit work at 4:30 this afternoon. It takes
them about 45 minutes to get out of the
mine. The two "fire men" today, who
are believed to have caused the explo
sion, were Lark Hunter and John Harney.
They shot the blasts about 4:45 o'clock,
before all the miners could get out of the
mine. It is supposed that one of the fuses
was defective and resulted In what Is
known as a "blown blast." The flame
shooting out from the blast ignited the
gas, which in turn Ignited the accumula
tion of dry coal dust In the mine. The
explosion that followed was terrific The
flames shot out of the mouth of the mine,
and the shock completely wrecked the
shed at the mine entrance. Three men
were killed while standing outside the
mines, and two were' seriously and one
fatally Injured.
The mine has been the scene of two seri
ous explosions In the past. In 18S9 four
men were killed and eight seriously in
jured by the explosion of gas. December
20, 1SS5, an explosion of dust occurred In
which 2? lives were lost. This was xyuised
by a miner carrying an open lamp. con
trary to regulations.
The force of the explosion in the Nelson
mine today was terrible. The bodies
were torn to pieces. The company states
that there were but jo men at work in the
mine today. Most of them were out of
the mine when the explosion occurred.
Reports from Dayton at midnight show
that 11 dead bodies have been taken from
the Nelson mine. Rescuing parties are at
work, but at a late hour tonight struck
a heavy fall of slate that will delay tnem
lor a day or two.

HANNA IS TURNED DOWN!
ROOSEVELT REFUSES TO PARDON
EMBEZZLER RATHBOSE.
Senator "Will Xotv Introduce Bill to
Give Convicted Man Trial in
American -Court.
WASHINGTON, March 3L Efforts are
being made by the friends of Estes G.
Rathbone to secure a pardon for him from
the sentence of the Havana court. Sen
ator Hanna nas requested the President
to Issue a pardon for Rathbone, but this
the latter has declined to do. The Presi
dent, however, has promised to send for
the papers in the case and have them
thoroughly reviewed. It Is stated that un
less he finds something radically wrong,
he will allow the verdict to stand.
Ilnnna to Father Bill for New Trial.
WASHINGTON. March 31. The Post
tomorrow will say that Senator Hanna
purposes to introduce a bill which will
provide for the trial of Estes G. Rath
bone, recently convicted of postal Irregu
larities in Cuba, by an American court
and under American laws. The Senator,
says the Post, will say he believes in
ntT
Rathbone's honesty, notwithstanding his
conviction, and declares that under our
laws evidence not admissible under the
Cuban procedure will aid Rathbone.
Speaking of the call of Senator Hanna
on the President, and the former's re
quest for a pardon for Rathbone, the
Post will say:
"It Is quite likely, of course, that some
consideration will bo shown Reeves, who
turned state's evidence, and action in
his case may be expected soon after
General Wood's return, to Cuba. The
attitude of the Administration toward
Rathbone and Neely will, however, be
firm. General Wood has the power of
pardon, if he should choose to exercise
it, but this is not regarded as probable.
It is said to be extremely doubtful
whether the President has the right to
set aside the judgment of the Cuban
court, for Cuba In a foreign country,
although under the nominal protection of
tho United States. The same reason
ing makes It extremely improvable that
Congress would enact a law transferring
the accused ex-officials to this country."
Passes on Bnil Question Today.
HAVANA, March 31. Estes G. Rathbone
appeared before the Supreme Court to
day under a writ of habeas corpus. Senor
Lanuza, counsel for Rathbone, pleaded
that his client was entitled to bail under
the postal code. Senor Lanuza expressed
regret that the Audencla court was not
bound to make declaration under oath that
Rathbone wished to escape, as had been
alleged. The fiscal of the Supreme Court
denied that Rathbone had a right to ball,'
and he asked the court to fix his ball at
$100,000 if It decided to grant it. The court
will give Its decision on this matter to
morrow. Blow to Investment Companies.
SPRINGFIELD, 111., March 3L Accord-
cannot do business In Illinois under the
foreign corporation act, as hundreds of
them have been seeking to do for several
months past. Mr. Hamlin says that the
nature of the business outlined by these
concerns brings them under the head of
banking or loaning companies, and that
they cannot take advantage of the for
eign corporation act. Local authorities
can now proceed against the agents of un
authorized concerns, and it Is believed
that the so-called "Investment" busi
ness will be t stopped. After sev
eral such companies Incorporated in
other states had been authorized
to do business In Illinois, there being no
opposition to such authorization, an in
vestigation of the methods of the con
cerns was Instituted, and it was found
that at least some of thsm had no assets,
and that there was little probability that
they would ever pay anything to the men
who put money Into them. After this the
Secretary ""of State gave Instructions to
the corporation clerks to refuse all future
applications.
Aguinnldo in Court.
MANDLA, March 3L Agulnaldo, with
General Chaffee's permission, was in
court today in answer to a subpena call
ing upon him to testify in the suit
brought against Senor Valdez, the editor
of a Spanish weekly paper here, by two
Filipino members of the United States
Philippine Commission, but his evidence
was not allowed, on the ground that the
truth of the article complained of was
truth of the article complained of was
immaterial. Dr. de Tavera and Legarda,
the accused members, were also not called
for the same reason.
Missionary Claims to Go Over.
WASHINGTON, March 3L No action
has been taken, thu9 far, by the appro
priation committee of the House on the
recommendation of the President to pay,
by appropriation, $2,100,000 of the mission
ary claims growing out of the Boxer
troubles in China, and an Informal under
standing has been reached that It will be
Inadvisable to pay these claims 'before
they have been adjudicated in the usual
manner by a commission, or some other
body, and also before China has paid the
$25,000,000 Indemnity coming to this coun
try. The matter came up recently when
the sundry civil appropriation bill was un
der consideration, and Chairman Cannon
called In Mr. HItt, of the foreign affairs
committee, to get his views of the subject.
All agreed that the claims ought to be ad
judicated "before being paid, and ought to
await China's settling up. It Is probable
this terminates any present appropriation
of the amount of these claims?
ROOSEVELT AND HANNA.
They Are Not Bosom Friends How
Their Views Differ.
Washington Letter to Boston Herald.
The situation may be very briefly de
scribed. At present Mr. Hanna has no in
tention of becoming a candidate for Pres
ident. In the first place, he comprehends
the popularity of Mr. Roosevelt, and
knows that no one could be nominated
against him under existing conditions. In
the second place, he is very far from be
ing well and strong, but Is the victim of
a complication of diseases which render
him a very feeble man. He is not in
Immediate danger, but is. not nearly
the man he was, and is not likely soon to
recover that stalwart health which he
seemed to have a few years ago, and
which would be essential to him if he
were called upon to endure the fatigues
and trials of a personal or political cam
paign. His weakness is patent to all who
see him moving painfully about the Cap
itol, and those who know him most inti
mately say that, If nothing else, his
health would prevent his seeking the nom
ination. Nevertheless, Mr. Hanna Is keeping hold
of the political wires with all the tenacity
of his strong nature. He cannot see why
he should suffer in his power because his
friend McKlnley Is dead. He cannot un
derstand, for example, why Mr. Roose
velt should nbt prefer him to Senator For
aker In making appointments In the state
of Ohio. The President has assumed
toward these two Senators the attitude
which he has assumed everywhere else.
He listens to both, and tries to choose the
best men offered to him. What Mr. Hanna
demands Is that his word should be ac
cepted before that of his colleague.
Now, Mr. Hanna's word Is not so Influ
ential with Mr. Roosevelt as it was with
Mr. McKlnley, because Mr. Hanna's stand
ard of morality Is not approved of by Mr.
Roosevelt. I do not mean to say that Mr.
McKlnley approved of all that Mr. Hanna
did. People who have a high respect for
Mr. McKInley's memory will continue tc
believe that he did not, and that he was
unconscious of Mr. Hanna's lapses in this
respect. This Is a question which it is
unnecessary to discuss now. Mr. Hanna's
standard of morality Is what It has al
ways been, and It is perfectly illustrated
by his attitude toward Powell Clayton,
our Ambassador to Mexico.
Mr. Clayton Is a henchman of Mr. Han
na's, and his Arkansas machine is the
strongest and probably, with the excep
tion of Wimberly's machine in Louis
iana, the wortt in the South. It is a ma
chine which works In utter unconscious
ness of the existence of morality. The
Federal offices have been sold to their In
cumbents by "those who are" also seeking
them. In one instance a postmaster who
desired the office simply for the honor of
being an official, bought the appointment
by agreeing to pay over Its salary to an
other applicant. Judicial and other offi
cers have likewise secured their places by
agreeing to pay a portion of their receipts
to rivals-. To cap the whole, a United
States Judge has signed these corrupt
contracts as a witness to them. Such ut
ter unconsciousness of bribery and gen
eral turpitude has been displayed by Pow
ell Clayton's organization that It is safe
to say that the Arkansas Republican ma
chine has never heard of a moral princi
ple. Mr. Hanna is perfectly conscious
that this has been going on, and tne oniy
reason why officials who perpetrated these
offenses are still In office Is that they were
annolnted by Mr. McKlnley on the recom-
l mendatlon of Mr. 'Hfiima, and that their
terms of office have hot expired.
President Roosevelt is In a very embar
rassing position, for .he cannot punish
these men for offenses committed before
he came Into office without appearing to
condemn his predecessor. It is perfectly
well understood, however, that Mr. Han
na parceled out tho patronage of the
South, and made the selection of the office-holders.
Powell Clayton's case Is sin
gular, and furnishes another illustration
of Mr. Hanna's standard of public mor
ality. A charge is mado against Clayton
which may or may not be true. It Is
that he Is a stockholder and director in
a mine in Mexico, against which Ameri
cans not connected with the mine have
claims. In other words, our Ambassador,
having to pass upon these claims in the
character of a Judge, Is himself Inter
ested in throwing them out. As I said,
this charge may or may not be true. It
has not been proved, but I recite it be
cause when Mr. Hanna was spoken to on
the subject he professed not to be able
to see that there was any harm In Clay
ton's position, even if he were a stock
holder and director.
Mr. Hanna, with this low standard of
public morality, Js, of course. In politics
for grossly material ends. He wants the
patronage of Ohio, not that he may se
cure efficient officers devoted to the pub
lic service, but officers, efficient or ineffi
cient, devoted to the personal cause of
Marcus A. Hanna He Is holding on to
the Southern organizations, and no mat
ter what the President may do for the
reformation of the public service in tho
South. Mr. Hanna will control the South
ern organization until the next Presiden
tial convention. If he then thinks as he
does now, the votes of the Southern dele
gates will be cast for Mr. Roosevelt. But
If in the meantime anything should oc
cur to make Mr. Roosevelt less popular
with the rank and file of the Republican
party than he Is today, Mr. Hanna will
be In a position to name the next Repub
lican candidate.
It may be that by that time his health
will have recovered sufficiently to enable
him to think of himself as the candidate.
If that Is not the case, he will be able .to
name some friend of his who will be more
congenial to him than Mr. Roosevelt has
been or can be. He will have the South
ern delegates beca-ure, apparently, the
Southern Republican organization cannot
be redeemed within two years. Do whit
he will, the President finds it almost Im
possible to make a case happening with
in his own time against the most flagrant
of the scoundrels who have been put Into
office In the Southern States. Even Wlm
berly. Collector of New Orleans, Is only
guilty of acts which were condoned by
his appointment, or qf acts done with the
authority of Mr. Hanni and the officers
of the last Administration.
From one end of the South to the other
the obnoxious office-holders have been on
their good behavior since the early re
movals and appointments of this Admin
istration have taught them a lesson and
given them an admonition. Even If they
were dismissed, they would now continue
to control the organizations with a view
of what might turn up to their advan
tage In the coming Presidential contest.
It Is hoped, In view of this, that Postmaster-General
Payne will renew his con
test for a change in the rule of repre
sentation In Republican National conven
tions. Such a change of rule would carry
consternation Into the ranks of Mr. Han
na's supporters in the South, for it would
mean such a serious loss of power In the
convention that the man who controlled It
would cease to be the most Important in
dividual factor in the party.
But, as I have already said, Hanna Is
not now threatening the President, but
It Is just as well to understand his atti
tude and his power, and to read the truth
Into the lines of the dispatches which
some one is sending announcing the close
union that is alleged to exist between
him and the President.

hundreds of tons of ore that has been
broken down from the vein, as one side of
tho cave is formed by the foot wall of the
