It swept through the working! with treuiendous force, carrying with it tin ben, ears, and tools. The men nearest the shafts were rescued ami otheni Bed to remote workings, where they would be above tin level of the Hood, although cut off fr "ti the shafts. The Borrow-ütricken wives. daughters and other relative's of the ;m prisoned miners gathered around the pit head and patiently faced the bitterly cold wind, aa they stood in groups, hoping and praying lor the safety of those deal to them. Tlie res -ners found the bottom of the shaft choked with piles cd" timber swept there by the torrents of WStci which poured into the mine. All of this timber must be removed before the en tombed men can be reached. Hundred.of miners arrived at the Diglnke- colliery from other collieries and volunteered to go down and assist in the work of rescue. Fresh gangfl of men wert' thus supplied to go down every hour. Killed by Score. As a result of a terrible explosion of giant powdet Tuesday afternoon at Butte. Mont., seventy-five persons are dead and probably twice That number seriously injured. A tire broke out in the Butte Hardware Company's warehouse, in which giant powder was stored. Tin firemen were at work on the tire when a terrible explosion took place, killing a number of persons. While efforts were being made to remove the dead and wounded a second explosion occurred. The entire tire department was wiped out. All the horses were killed. Three policemen were among the killed. The dead number at least seventy-live. Plate glass was broken all over the city and the damage to property is enormous. The relatives of the killed are frantic and the city is in an uproar. The powder waa stored in the warehouse in violation t the law. It was the greatest explosion in the history of the West. Bodies of the dead and dying were hurled several handled feet, one corpse being found tw. blocks from the scene of the explosion. Criniw in France. M. Casimir-Perier, President of the French Republic, tired of political abuse, has resigned. Earnest pleadings of his friends failed to cause him to reconsider his action. II' requests the dissatistied ministers of his cabinet to withhold their resignations until order is retored. The summary step of the executive produces great distress ami perplexity in all circles.

In the Idaho Legislature a bill was introduced repealing the Mormon test oath. Two years ago that part of the oath was repealed which made it retroactive in form. Previously no one could vote who belonged to any organization that had ever taught polygamy. It is now proposed to wipe out all reference to the subfeet. J. L. Brown, who was recently elected County Attorney at Perry, Okla., was a few days ago disbarred from practice. Tuesday he was sworn in by the Probate Judge, who had also been disbarred. Brown went about his duties as County Attorney, ami was recognized by the County Commissioners, but when he went before the Grand Jury that body would not recognise him. Eleven men and a complete outfit of gambling tools were taken out of McCoy's European Hotel, Chicago, by detectives. The gambling apparatus, which was of unusually fine quality, was taken to the Central Police Station, and there under orders of Inspector Shea broken to pieces with sledge-hammers. The men Were locked tip and booked as inmates and keepers of a gOmbUng-hoOSe. The raid is important as marking what Inspector Shea says is the beginning of a crusade against gambling in hotels. Two masked robben entered the residence of James Jamison, residing near Dublin, Ohio, and, covering Mr. JaniiBOn and his hired man with their revolvers, demanded the former's money. Jamison reached into hi;; pocket for his money, ami as he drew it out the revolver held by the robber covering him was discharged, the bullet entering his brain. The robbers beat a hastj retreat without (Topping to pick up the money. Jamison died an hour later. The robber is believed to have discharged his weapon from sheer nervousness.

Some of the children fainted, ami the others found shelter in the nearest dwelling. Tin- bear walked up to the prostrate children, sniffed them, and sauntered across a field to the woods. Philip Steinway was attacked by another bear near LoWCTJ Wando, but beat it off with a fence rail. The militia will go out ami surround bowery's woods. Thursday night the temperature in Chicago was 'A4 degrees tiltovo zero. Frilly evening it was degrees below, so that Ihe drop there in twenty four hours was 88K degrees. The cold wave swept nil through the Dakotas, Minnesota. Nebraska. Wisconsin. Iowa, Illinois, Michigan, Indiana and Ohio, moving swiftly east and south. Much suffering was caused. People were unprepared. In sddition to the low temperature, the wind In the prairie country reached hurricane speed, and in Nebraska the very soil itself, in the absence of snow, was blown in drifts. In the lumber districts vast benefit accrues from the cold, as it insures ice and continued snow for logging operations. Startling disclosure! of corruption in the collection of West Town Chicago taxes are prorrJsed as a leuoal to the arrest of three men claiming connection with the Collector's office of that division of the city. The men are Solomon Trout,

Henry Weil snd Charles Newman, and ritarges of conspiracy and bribery are lodged against them through their efforts to get money from William H. Durant under promises of having his tax levy reduced. Detectives of the Moonej A: Boland Sgency. who made the arrests. are after a fourth member of the gang. David Trout, who is said to be one of the conspirators. The Civic Federation is behind the detectives and promises further developments in the collection of taxes in other divisions of the city. Over 30,000 people in Ohio are on the verge of starvation and there is imperative need for Immediate relief. The investigation of their condition, commenced at the instance of Gov. McKinley, promises to reveal a harrowing state of affairs. One case has already been reported which shows the deplorable condition of these unfortunate people. A miner who had worked but live days in three months went to the grocery where he had always traded and asked for a sack of flour on credit. The grocer, having carried the unemployed to such an (Stent that lie was nearly bankrupt, refused to let him have it, but the man frenzied with the refusal, seized the sack .".ml ran home with it, and when an officer went to the house to arrest him he found the wife and children eating the raw Hour, not having tasted bread for two days. He turned away and did not ic.ake the arrest. This is only one of lO,000 cases where people are actually starving in Athens. Perry and Hocking Counties, while three times that number are in desperate straits. The frozen, lifeless body of Mrs. Anne Berchckovfske, sged 00 years, of No. 312 Belmont avenue. Chicago, was found on Sunday at ." p. m. lying at the foot of Anna street It had lain there all day and probably all of Saturday night, for when it was discovered it was covered with several inches of snow. The body was taken home by the police to surroundings even more cheerless than those of the night before, which furnished at least a shroud pure white snow. A decrepit old man who can speak no language but Polish, her husband. Michael Betvhekofske. sat in the fn e - less, cheerless house awaiting her return. There was only the poorest attempt at heating the room. There was a littl lire in the cold room and no more fuel to replenish it; no food in the house and no means to procure the necessaries to a funeral according to any of the customs of civilized people. Not even the means to dress the body in a cleanly garb or in anything else than the soiled and tattered gown in which the body lay. A circle of Chicago detectives surrounded Detectives O'Doiinel and Alhnindinger at tue ( üty Hall vhile the latter opened envelopes bearing New York postmarks. Fach envelope contained a check for $1,066, a share of tin- reward offered by the Shoe and Leather Bank of NewYork for the arrest of Beeley, its absconding bookkeeper, who has been sentenced ic imprisonment. BIcFarland, w ho inf rnn 1 the officers Of the identity of beeley, recoil ed a check for a like amount. When McFarland appeared at detective headquarter late one night and said he could solve a big mystery his breath was tainted with the fumes of lhpior. and the wily "flj cops" winked at each other ami said. "This is a pipe-dream; it is a good thing, push it along." So McFarland was passed along the line from one sage detective to another, until there was nobody left but O'Donnell ami Allmindinger. They couldn't "saw him off" on anybody else, and unwillingly the trudged over to the North Side and Beeley was caught. Probably the most startling failure that has ever occurred in South Dakota or the Northwest was revealed Wednesday morning w hen William Walter Taylor, the outgoing State Treasurer and President of the First National Bank and Northwestern Mortgage Trust Company, of Hedlield failed to appear to make his settlement at Pierre with his successor. Treasurer-elect Phillips, of Deadwood. The news and the closing of his ltedtield bank came like a thunder-dap from a dear sky. because both Taylor and the financial institutions with which he was connected were regarded as firm and reliable beyond question. The news from Pierre demonstrates that no money is held there to the credit of the State Treasurer, and none is held in the Badfield bank. It is estimated that about $,'f0,M)0 is missing with Taylor. Aside from financial loss the action of Taylor is felt terribly by all who have known and done business with him and the financial enterprises with which he has been connected in years past. He and his enterprises have handled many thousands of Bastorn capital, and his bank has always been regarded as one of the firm, safe institutions in the State. SOUTHERN.

The Chinese lied toward Hai Shaksoi, with the Japanese in close pursuit. Large numbers were killed on each side, but the total loss is unknown. The meeting Tuesday evening of the meat and cattle section of the London, Eng., Chamber of Commerce in Memorial Hall has served to bring out a storm of jealous abuse in regard to American meat and American business methods. The Daily Telegraph's statement. "The American beef kings, after half ruining British husbandry, now coolly propose to take an additional million from British traders and consumers," is repeated on all sides. Chairman Cooper says: "If it was merely a question of no abatement there is no doubt that the retailers could have accepted the situation. But it is viewed by many as marking the beginning of a series of other encroach men ti on trade. -The Americans go so far as to say not only shall the salesman be deprived of the pound and a quarter allowance in every quarter of meat hitherto allowed in order to compensate for the loss sustained by shrinkage in transit and in cutting up, but he must not make such an allowance to his customers. This is only the first step towards obtaining control of the market, and when it suits their fancy to corner trade." The American snippers maintain they should not make the concessions to the English butchers, as their meat is carried in refrigerators so long it is thoroughly shrunken when sold and ready for sale. The custom of granting the amount off each quarter arises from the fact the English meats are brought to market often while still warm, and so the allowance does not moke up for the shrinkage.

Hun & Co.'s We e kly Review of Trade- ays: Neither the beginning of the new year nor the failure of the currency bill has brought any material change to business as yet. The idea that business would suddenly take a new start after the holidays had rather loss foundation even than usual, but the hope of strong revival a little later is still cherished by many. There has not been muc h time for change in the industries, but differences observed since the year began are not in the direction of higher prices r larger demand. There are more indications than of late that stocks of different kinds of goods have been accumulating in consequence cd' past increase in production. MARKET REPORTS.
