INCREASE IN FORCES Railroads Must Fut On Large Forces ot Laborers. 6 VE AMERICANS FIRST CHOICE At Leastl 250,000 Man Needed to Repair Ravages o f Winter — Labor la Cheap. Chicago, March 31.— In the next 60 <iaye the railroads of the United States will have to find between 250,000 and 300,000 men to mend their trackg and roadbeds and another large army to go into their shops and repair their cars and their locomotives. The railroadg centering in Chicago alone will, between April I and Jane 1, require more than 100,000 laborers, who will be employed in remedying the ravages of the winter months, which, with their frosts and their snows, have made many miles of shaky track and as many more of softened roadbed. The past winter has not been as hard as the season usually is on roadbed and track, and physical conditions are not as bad as usual for the further reason that the traffic has not been so heavy. No renewal work, however, is being done this winter, and after the frost comes out of the ground in the spring there is bound to be settling of the roadbed, gagging of bridges and a score of things which go to prevent efficiency of operation. In the employment of labor the rail roads seek to procure Americans when they can get them at the price which is offered for labor. As a rule, however, the railroads are glad to get men wher ever it is poesible, the only stipulation with the labor employing agencies be ing that the men shall be competent to do the work lor which they are em ployed. __________________ M AN Y M INER8 Q U IT.

Butte, Mont., March 30.— A special to the Miner from Hanna, Wyo., says: This camp was visited by another big holocaust Saturday afternoon and the livee of 20 men were snuffed out by an explosion of gas in Mina No. 1, of the Union Pacific Coal company . A fits had been raging below the 10th level since last Ha'u’day, and the force of 200 miners bad been laid off for tbe day as a precaution. Superintendent Alexander Briggs and Foremen Joseph Burton, Alfred Dodds, James Knox, o ' Mines 1, 2, and 3, with a crew of 16 or 17 men, ail experienced minors, with gas men and fire-fighters, went down into the workings early in tbe norning to fight the conflagration, which was rapidly eating its way through the workings. At 2 o’clock tbe men above the work ings, tbe idle men in tbe homes and the townapsople wire startled by an awfnl roar, followed by a heavy boom and the shaking of earth and trembling of buildings. A ll knew what hail happened, and there was a rush to the mine. Both entrances had caved in. and the mine timtiers had been blown gieat distances about the outside workings. The second explosion was more severe than the first, being felt in all parts of the town, and it is fpared that 50 to 60 names have been added to the death list.

Teiluride, Colo., March 30.— Eluding the night guard stationed at the Smug gler-Union mine, at Pandora, two miles south of Tellnride, and the eearchight which Is constantly thrown about the premises during the night from the high tower of the m ill as a precautionary measure, an unknown person gained ac cess to the residence of General Bnlkley Wells, genera) manager of the Smug gler-Union Mining company, Saturday night and planted dynamite under his bed. The dynamite waa exploded by lighting a fuse on the outside of the bnildiDg about 2 o’clock 8unday morn ing when the intended victim wag asleep. He was hurled against the ceiling and alighted under a mass of debris, but escaped with gome scratches and bruises and impaired hearing. Although a systematic search has been made by Sheriff Fitzpatrick and deputies, aided by hundreds of citizens, no cl le hag been found to the perpe trator of the deed. One man who is charged with having said that Wells would be killer! has been arrested. General W ells took a leading part. In tbe suppression of labor troubles in this state in 1904 snd 1905, and was prominently identified with the recent prosecution of the officers of the West ern Federation of Miners at Boise on the charge of complicity in the assass ination of ex-Governor Fiank Steunen- berg, of Idaho.

CITY IS DESTROYED Heavy Earlhquake Followed by Fire I d Mexico. NO LOSS OF LIFE IS REPORTED Thirty-four Shocks Recorded Within Twenty-four Hours at Mexican National Observatory. Mexico, City, March 28.— Chilapa, a town of 15,000 inhabitants in tbe state of Guerrero, has been shaken by an earthquake and burned. The shocks, two in number, occurred early last evening and were followed bykflre, which originating in a dozen places among the tumbling buildings, joined in a,con flag rat ion that ewept the town. Governor Damian Flores, chief exec utive of the state of Guerrero, who is st present in this city, had at 9 o'clock this evening just received the first offi cial advices from Chilapa. The mes sage says that, although a number of the buildings of the town were leveled to tbe ground, no lives were lost. The police quarters and the mayor’s office were destroyed and the jail badly dam aged. Great fissures were made in the etreete and open fields. In the neighboring town of Ometepec the jail was destroyed and 30 prlaonera made their escape. Troops are guard ing the public buildings that are stand ing in Chilapa, but perfect order pre- vai Is. Later returns from Chilapa show, however, that the dispatch received by Governor FTores was ultra conservative. The town was practically destroyed, though no lives were lost. Most of the buildings that were leveled were roei- ienees. Thirty-four shocks have been record ed during the past 24 honrs by the seis mograph,at the national observatory at Tabuyaca. Most of these shocks, how ever, were imperceptible except to the delicat needle of the instrument. N O R TH PO LE 18 SH IFTIN G . Making America Warmer and Siberia Colder. Victoria, B. C., March 28.— That the north pole is shifting and tbe climate b changing, making the Northern terri tories of this continent warmer and Norther Asia colder, is the theory to support which Mose B. Cotworth, of York, England, has been gathering evi dence in Alaska, from where he has re turned on hie way to England. A carious effect of this change, it is said, may be a number of boundary difficulties between Canada and the United States, especially in the Eastern port'on. This boundary is fixed by latitude, and if the north pole iB really moving, the latitudes rhangealso, ren dering it advisable that the boundary be speedily marked everywhere by permanent monuments, where it has not yet been so marked already. The movement, Cotworth says, ia caused by the immense accumulations cf ice along the Canadian shore of the Arctic ocean, and especially in Baffin’s land and Greenland. M INERS HELD IN C H EC K .
