tion was enacted at this session, an
extra session of congress would be
called by the president?

EXPLOSION OF DUST THE CAUSE
Details of Cause of Explosion Will
Likely Never Be known Relief- -1
. - Hurried to Scene."
Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 21. By am
explosion in the Virginia mine, about
18 miles southwest of Birmingham, , at
4 o'clock this afternoon, between 110
and 135 union miners are entombed
and it is believed the entire number
suffered an awful death. Scores of
vigorous rescuers are at work - digging
into the-mine to relieve thei,r friends
and comrades in the inside,.
The explosion .is believed' to have
been caused, by ;an accumulation of
dust, although the mine has beretofore
been noted for being entirely free from
dust. It is also believeed that, as the
entire quota has probably been killed,
the details of the cause of the disaster
will never be known. .
The camp is almost isolated from the
jest of the world, there is no telephone
station at Virginia, and the only a
running to the place is a dispatcher's
wire of the Birmingham Mineral rail
way, on which Virginia is located.
Details of the disaster were slow to
come in.
The class of "miners employed was
the best m the district, and all be
longed to the United Mineworkers of
America. Since the strike has been on
in the Birmingham district, many of
the most industrious and thrifty miners
of Pratt City and other important min
ing points have removed to the Vir
ginia mines, so thatjthe mines were
being worked to their full capacity by
the most skilled miners in the commu
nity.
Relief trains with surgeons and
workmen were dispatched from both
Birmingham and Bessemer as, soon as
the .news of the disaster was . learned.
They began the work of succor in earn
est and at midnight had not dug half
way through the mass of debris. It is
thought it will be 10 o'clock tomor
row before the interior of the stope is
reached.
The stopes are well arranged and
there "has never been the least trouble
in the mines before. They are owned
by the Alabama Steel & Wire company,
but are leased and operated by Reid &
Co.
EXTRA SESSION ON RATE LAW.
Will Be Called in October, Earlier
Action Being Impossible.
Washington,.. Feb. ;i21. President
Roosevelt, who for weeks has been
hopeful that some definite action might
be taken at the present session of con
gress on the railroad rate question,
practially has relinquished the idea of
securing legislation on the subject this
winter. It is reasonably certain that
he will not call an extraordinary ses
sion of congress to meet in the spring,
but unless he changes his mind, he will
call congress together, probably next
October,
Representatives Esch and Townsend,
joint authors of the rate bill which
passed the house, had a talk with- the
president today. They outlined the
rate situation and conditions as they
found it. They agreed with him that
the prospect for the enactment of rate
legislation at this session was remote.
They indicated that if no action was
taken at this session, the subject would
be considered ; thoroughly 'during . the
Coming summer with the idea of pre
senting a measure at the next session
which, very likely, 'would contain some
additional features. "
Will Confer on Irrigation.
Washington, Feb. 21. A conference
of reclamation engineers has been called
to meet at Klamath Falls, Arpil 1, to
consider plans and estimates for the
Klamath irrigation project. At that

made for buying out owners of the
small canals, including the rights of
the Klamath Canal company. The

Will Issue Philippine Bonds.
Washington, Feb. 21. After consul
tation by cable with Governor- General
Wright, at Manila, Secretary Taft has
decided to avail himself immediately
of the provision of the Cooper bill au
thorizing the issue of bonds to defray
the cost of public works in the Philip
pines. It is the purpose to issue $2.-
500,000 of these bonds bearing four
per cent interest and they are to run
for 30 years with the option of redemp
tion at the end of ten years.
Can't Compel Judge to Act.
v Washington, Feb. 21. The case of
the Caledonian Coal company vs. Ben
jamin F. Baker, judge of the Supreme
court ot New Mexico, to, compel him to
take cognizance of an action against
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail
road was decided by the Supreme court
of the United States today against the
company.
JflAY LOSE HIS CROWN.
i.,
Czar is threatened by-the 'Autocracy
;g "- Mis Qwn fcmpire...:, ;
.vj5erlin,eh. 2lf." It is : a significant
fact that 'despite 'the news:from St.
Petersburg' about the probability of the
reviyaliOf the Ze'msky Sobor as a popu
lar .legislative assembly diplomatic cir
cles in Berlin insist that the assassina
tion of Grand Duke Sergiua will rather
have the effect of strengthening the au-
tucruuc puny man 10 weaxen us lnnu
ence at court.
Statements to this effect have been
made within the past 24 hours by per
sons who are' close both to the German
emperor's advisors and to the Russian
representatives in Berlin, and it. would
be unwise to treat their : views lightly
It is pointed out in this connection
that the, granting of concessions by
the czar at ,thia time would not be con
strued by ,the liberal and radical ele
ments as ; voluntary acts, but as the re
sult of fear that other members of the
imperial family may share the fate of
jSergius, hastened by the admission that
the terrorists 'must be reckoned with
A dark hint is contained in state
ments . by the pessimists in diplomatic
circles which indicate an entirely differ
ent reason why the czar, though per
haps personally inclined to do so, will
under no circumstances grant any of the
more' far-reaching demands beyond
i'those- as outlined in his manifesto of
last December. These persons say that
tlte grand ducal coterie will stop short
of nothing to preserve autocracy in its
full power, and that if the present czar
is-not willing to look out for his crown,
a regency will see to it that the infant
czarevitch is not deprived of it unless
it is taken from him by force.
- Plainly this means that the men who
have murdered by their counsel and
methods thousands of the workmen and
peasants in the many years of their
rule, will not shrink from having put
out of the way the ruler who, it is
strongly asserted they reverence in
public, while they hold his lack of de
cision, his desire -to placate all of the
factions and his evident leanings to
ward the moderate liberals in private
contempt. '
RESERVES BREAK UP A CROWD.
Russian Revolutionists were Blocking
Streets in New York.
New York, Feb. 21. Police reserves
were... called out tonight to disperse a
crowd said to be sympathizers with the
Russian revolutionary party. Eight
men were arrested, charged with parad
ing witnout a permit, collecting a
crowd and holding an unlawful meet
ing.
The trouble started when two police
men came upon a crowd cheering and
applauding a speech made by one of
their number. The police were unsuc
cessful in dispersing the people, and
called for the reserves: It was said
that a red flag was being waved and
later a sergeant of police, who assisted
in the raid, made the statement that
on one of the men arrested was "in
flammatory and revolutionary litera
ture." This man's name was Albert
Argentier, and the police found on him
a suDscription list lor tne .Russian rev
olutionists, said to have been issued by
the pro-revolution committee for Rus
sia. All the men arrested said they
were tailors and protested against being
taken into custody.
ANOTHER CABLE IN ATLANTIC,
Clarence Mackay Announces That
Bids Have Been Made for Laying.
New York, Feb. 21. Another Atlan
tic cable is to be laid and .bids . for its
laying have alreadv been made. It is
expected the new cable will be in oper
ation during the coming summer
Clarence Mackay said today that no
new stock would b issued on this ca
ble, but that the cost has been met by
the Mackay company, .because of a de
sire to keep the reserve fund of the
Commercial Cable company intact.
Mr. Mackay added that the first re
port of the Mackay company to the
shareholders would be adopted within
the next fortnight. The new cable will
embody the latest discoveries in this

row's meeting of the senate. While the
members of the 'committee would not

authorizing the attorney general to
assess property which has escaped

suits to collect the taxes due upon
such assessments passed the house to
day. " ' . ...'..'
The house committee on salaries and
mileage reported this morning. Smith,
of Josephine, protested against some of
the items, but failed to get any support.
Supporters of the normal schools are
endeavoring to have the cut made in
the appropriation by the house restored
by the senate when the bill comes up
in that body tomorrow. Governor
Chamberlain has also declared himself
in favor of consolidation of the schools
and threatens to veto the measure when
it comes to him. The appropriation for
the normal schools is coupled with
those for the asylum, penitentiary, re
form school, deaf mute shcool, blind
school, state university and agricul
tural college, so it would be necessary
to veto all in order to reach the normal
appropriation
The ways and means committee of
the house introduced a bill in the house
today appropriating $70,000 for new
buildings for the deaf mute school.
Four other appropriation bills were in
trpouced Dy tne committee carrying a
total of $113,542.13.
The senate committee will not at
tempt to please either side in regard to
the Jayne local option bill. The bill
will be reported without recommenda
tion. .

to pass the Cascade county bill. Many
sorts of influences are being brought to
bear to secure the necessary number.
Salem, Feb. 15. The Cascade coun
ty bill is only a memory. The com
mittee having it in charge in the senate
reported favorably is thmorning and a
vote was called for. The result was 18
against and 11 for.
Employes of state institutions will
be paid monthly hereafter if the gov
ernor does not veto the bill passed by
the senate.
The house bill providing for a com
mission to examine the subject of
assessment, taxation and collection ot
taxes was passed by the senate.

ment up to 20 lashes according to the
senate bill passed by the house
County and city boards of health are
created by a bill which has passed both
houses
The committee having the Jayne lo
cal option M in hand is still wrest
ling with the measure and does not ex
pect to report before Friday.
It appears probable that the bill ap
propriating $70,000 for a new deaf
mute school building, passed by the
house this afternoon, will go through
the senate, as many in that body
favor it
According to joint resolution the leg
islature will adjourn Friday without
day. The work will be well cleared
off by that time, say President Kuyken
dall and Speaker Mills. No official
netice will be taken of the develop
ments in the case of Senator Mitchell
and - an adjourned session will not be
held next winter nor the present session
prolonged unless something unforeseen
should happen in the next two days.

senate 16 bills were passed, besides 15
charter bills, and seven were indefi
nitely postponed. The governor today

mining corporations producing less than
$1,000 a year from the corporation tax
was passed by the senate today.
A bill was passed tonight creating
the office of state engineer, to be ap
pointed by the governor. Commence
ment of suits are authorized to condemn
property where the government may
wish to begin const-ruction of irrigation
systems. An appropriation of $5,000
is also made by the bill.
Two hours' work are in sight in the
house for tomorrow, but 70 bills are
before the senate, besides the Jayne
local option bill, which 'will require
considerable time.
The bill taxing sheep driven in from
other states has been passed by both
houses. The yearly pasturage tax is
placed at 20 cents per head, and when
sheep are driven through the state
the tax is 5 cents per head for each
county traversed.

to females under 21 years, and forbid

state insane asylum.
After six weeks.'of turmoil the Jayne
local option bill was indefinitely post

HEAVY DAMAGE TO FALL WHEAT"
Many Farmers Expect to Reseed the
Frozen Fields.
Pendleton Farmers coming ill from
the north and northwestern part of the
county believe that the fall sown wheat
will be a total loss, as the snow has
been blown from the hills and piled in
the hollows and has left the fields bare.
Some are so sure of the freeze that they
are in the city buying drills to reseed
their fields as soon as the weather per
mits.
In the northwestern part of the coun
ty, west of Adams and north of Echo,,
in the low lands where the soil is light
very little snow fell and as the ground
was exceedingly dry the freeze will be
more severe. In the vicinity of Athena
and Weston, where the snow was deep
er and did not blow off, the wheat is
considered safe and will not have to be
reseeded.
