GEN. CHAFFEE'8 RETURN.
Iltd Sallirittory Interviews With Dados ol

Manila, May 21. General Chaffee

in the interior of the island of Min

Dnttos while there and had most satis
factory Interviews with them. Nearly
all the Dattos and especially tho sur

Washington, May 21. Tho entire
time of the senate for the present week
will be devoted to the consideration of
the Philippine government bill, and
there are hopes that the debate on that
measure will Ik- completed leforo the
end of the week. The fact that there
will lie an adjournment of the senate
covering next Saturday, in order to
permit that body to participate in the
unveiling of the Rocliambctiu statue
probably will have the effect of post
iKiuing the final vote until the follow.
ing Monday or Tuesday. There is,
however, 110 longer doubt in any quarter
that the minority will permit n vote as
toon as the debate on the bill is ex
hausted. Under the present arrange
ment the bill will occupy most all the
time of the senate this week; the pros
pect is against tho sandwiching in of

ENGLANO'S LATE SUMMER.

Damper on All
London, May 20. So far as it has
progressed in London, rain, snow and

of summer. Never has there been such
an inclement spring. Americans who
have come over for the coronation sit
around in doleful groups, waiting for
the sunshine that never conies. Wo

and the men have long since reverted
to their winter clothes, to prematurely

Coal Crook, Twin., May 21. Be
tween 15 and 22.1 men and Uvs met
instant death at tlio l'ratorvillo coal
mine, located two miles west of this
town, at 7 :30 o'clock yesterday morn,
ing because of gas explosion.
Of the large numlior of men nnd Ikvs
who went lo work in tho morning only
0110 is alive and ho is so badly injured
that ho cannot live. One hundred and
seventy-live- miners were cheeked In for
work yesterday morning by the mine
boss. In addition to these there" were
lioys who acted n helpers and driven.,
and roadmen and others to tho number
of perhaps n- The Fratervilh" mine
is the oldet mine in the Coal creek
district, having been opened in IS70
It is fully three mile from the opening
of the mine to the point where tho men
were ut work. They had not been nt
work long U'fore the terrible explosion
occurred, lliero was a fearful roar,
and then flame shot from the cntriinco
and the air shafts.
As soon as possible two rescuing par'
ties were started in, one at tlio mam
entrance, tho other through tho Thistle
mine, which adjoins, and in which no
men wore at work. Tho Thistle party
was unable to make any headway, as
the gas stilled the workers. The I ra
terville party went fully two miles
under the earth until 11 he.ivy fall of
slate was encountered. At this barrier
the men worked desperately, hoping
against hope that those beyond might
be safe.
The new of the disaster spread
quickly, nnd the scenes at the mouth of
the mine while the workers were with
in were beyond description. Work
was suspended in Coal Creek nnd nil
its mines as soon ns the news became
known, and men, women and children
gathered around the Fratorville en
trance. Worrell w bote husbands and
sons were within wore wild with grief.
All day long the rescuers toiled at the
slate obstruction, and not until 6
o'clock did they force an entrance
through it. Up to that hour only live
lead bodies had been recovered, and
hope was still high that many miners
within were still safo. The hopes of

STRIKE HEADQUARTERS.
Opened by Mitchell at Wilkeibirrc The Soil
Coal Question.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., May 21. Presi
dent John .Mitchell, of the United
Miueworkers of America, arrived here
from flazleton shortly after 9 o'clock
tonight, and established strike head
quarters at the Hotel Hart. The
national president stated that so far ns
the miners' side of tho controversy was
conccrnd, the situation had not changed
in the least.
Mr. Mitchell's attention was called
to the fact that the city of Philadelphia
had contracted for a supply of bituiiiin
ous coal to take the place of anthracite.
which bad been cut off by tho railway
companies furnishing it. In reply to
a question as to whether the niinework-
ers would attempt to prevent the shi-
ment of soft coal to places where hard
coal is used, he said: "Considering
tho projiosition in 11 general way, I will
sav that we. do not desire to mako anv
city a victim or have any person suffer
because of our quarrel with the coal
companies."
He was presses! for a more explicit
statement, but refused to go into it any
deeper, oxcept to say that it was a
matter which would have to bo settled
by the three executive boards of the
anthracite fields They will meet here
today. Judging bv the action of the
union during the last strike, when
efforts were made to stop tho shipment
of soft coal into anthracite territory,
it Is not unlikely that the miners will
tako similar action within the next few
days.
I wo carloads o( foreigners left the
Huzlcton region today. Most of them
were booked for New York, whence
they will sail for their native coun
tries. Most of tho foreigners will seek
