Five 3Ien Killed in Arizona Mine. As the result of an explosion in the United Verde mine at Jerome, Ariz., five men are dead and five others seriously but not fatally injured. The accident happened Just as the shifts were being changed and all the men except the twelve had been raised to the surface. On account of the recent heavy rains, surface water found its way to that portion of the mine where fire had been smouldering several years and steam thus generated caused the explosion, blowing out the bulkf.ead, ?rected to keep the fire from spreading. The men were suffocated by smoke and heated steam. Boy Fatally Shot Companion. William Mulloyof Laporte, Ind., 19 years old, was fatally shot while hunting with Clyde Hammond, a companion. The latter' gun was accidentally discharged, part of the load of shot penetrating Mulloy's brain. The victim was precipitated into the lake, and to save the boy whom he did not know was mortally, wounded, Hammond swam with the bod- of Mulloy to the shore, where he fell exhausted. Mulloy died in five minutes. Hammond is prostrated. A Bloody Tribal War in Liberia. According to a report brought by the British and African line royal steamer Sokoto, from West Africa, tribal warfare is waging in Liberia. Natives of the Picanannynes tribe, on March 13, attacked Cestos, killing sixty men f-i.d eighty women. The Cestos natives are organizing a big oounter expedition. When the Sokoto sailed a fierce encounter, with much slaughter, was expected. Building Strike on at South Bend. Bricklayers snd masons of South Bend, Ind., struck in the midst of remarkable building activity, each asking five cents an hour increase. Bricklayers are now getting fifty and fifty-five cents an hour, plasterers fifty cents. Prospects are good for the strikers. Carpenters are getting ready to strike May 1. The demands of the strikers were refused. $40,000 Cann ins Plant Fire at Mnncie. Fire of unknown origin destroyed the canning factory of the Magie Packing Company, situated in the suburbs of Muncie, Ind., entailing a loss of about $10,000. About a year ago the company became insolvent and went into the hands of a receiver. Later it was advertised to be sold at public auction. There was no insurance on the plant. Lost Both Arms, Gets Judgment for $33,800. A jury in the common pleas court at Lima, Ohio, awarded Joseph Hicks $35,800 for the loss of both arms. Hicks was a lineman in the employ of a lighting company thrte years ago, when both arms were burned off at the shoulder by a live wire. At a previous trial Hicks was awarded a heavy judgment. Cock Chanted Dead Man's Reqniem. Lying on the doorstep at the home of Joseph Parks, in Anderson, Ind., Thomas W. Martin, TO years old, was found dead. Perched on the chest of the dead man was a rooster, whose lusty crowing so near the door attracted the attention of the Parks family. It is thought Martin dropped dead as he was about to enter the house. Explosion in Leiter Mines. Fifty miners were entombed in Joseph Letter's mine at Zeigler, 111., by a terrifio explosion of gas, and it is probable that thirty or more of the buried men are dead. The explosion, it is supposed, was due to the fact that the Leiter mines are not worked on Sunday, thus allowing gas to accumulate in the lower workings. Ser ion Trouble in Sooth Africa. A dispatch from Johannesburg says: There was a serious disturbance near Krugersdorp, arising out of a strike of Chinese miners.

WAR DÜRING A WEEK;

SCREEN IS DRAWN OVER TARY OPERATIONS. MILL Dispatches of Past Week Show No New Light on the Conflict in the Far East Remnants of Russia's Routed Army in Full Ketrcat. The week, which opened with the Russian army in full retreat from Mukden, closed with Its fate in doubt. Kuropatkln's divisions that had escaped death or capture arrived at Tieling, where reserve supplies and a fortified position awaited them. Then the Russian army was driven out of Tieling. The remaining stores were burned, many guns abandoned, and the retreat resumed. St, Petersburg, naturally, was filled with alarming rumors. It was reported that the railroad had been cut at Changtufu, 40 miles north of Tieling; that there were strong Japanese columns east and west of ,the railroad even farther to the north; that the Russian forces had been driven into the hills east of the railroad and were trying to reach KIrin or Vladivostock; that they were without food, ammunition, and artillery. There were no dispatches, official or otherwise, to confirm or deny these sensational reports. The week's dispatches added a few details to the sum of Russia's disaster at Mukden. The war office at Tokio tstimated the Russian force engaged w the battje of Mukden at 370 battalions of infantry, 17S squadrons of cavalry, 171 batteries of artillery, or a total of 327,00 men and l,3'.i8 guns. . Field Marshal Oyama reported the capture of 40.000 prisoners. His armies counted 20,500 dead. He estimated the Russian wouuded at 04,300. This total of 130.000 casualties reduced the effective Russian force to 197,500 men all that got safely through to Tieling. St. Petersburg reports credited Linevltch who succeeded Kuropatkln with 208,000 men, the figures being achieved by Including the railway guards and the Fourth army corps, which had just arrived at Harbin. This force of 208,000 men, badly equipped, short of supplies, was retreating before a force of perhaps fully double Its strength. At a council of war held at Tsarskoe Selo it was resolved to send' a new army of 400.000 men to the far East to continue the war. General Kuropatkin was recalled, practically in disgrace, and General Linevltch placed In command. The war party apparently is still in power at St. Petersburg. There are disturbing indications that Russia's credit is reaching a limit. The refusal of the French syndicate to contract for a fresh loan of ?125,000,000 has caused uneasiness in St. Petersburg. At Taris it is stated vaguely that the loan has only been postponed. In St. Petersburg it is insisted the loan will be made within ten days. The proposal of the Russian Minister of Finance that the banks of St. Petersburg float an internal loan of $100,000,000 has not been well received. Still, it would be foolish to assume that Russia has reached the limit of her resources. The fact that her gold reserve still stands vt $074,300,000 proves that the Czar's empire Is not penniless. Czar's Minister for Peace. While Emperor Nicholas, whose word is final, still declines to abandon the prosecution of the war and the government maintains its ability to continue the conflict The Associated Press states that powerful influences, including several of the emperor's own ministers, are now strongly urging that the time has come to indicate to Japan Russia's desire for peace upon a reasonable basis. Should Japan then attempt to Impose too onerous conditions, these influences argue that, in view of 'Che universal wish to see the bloody conflict ended, Russia's position will be strengthened abroad by the alienation of sympathy from Japan, and the situation at home improved when the nation is made to understand that the emperor's pacific proposals have been met with impossible terms. One of the emperor's ministers in a conversation - with The Associated Press correspondent said: "We have suffered bitter defeat on land and sea. We can, however, still continue the war. But both countries have suffered great losses in blood and treasure, and it would only profit the rivals of both were we to fight on until one or the other is exhausted." "What would be Russia's attitude on the subject of indemnity?" "Russia never yet has paid indemnity and history practically affords no precedent for Indemnity when territory is not occupied to insure payment and Japan holds not a foot of Russian territory. Japan -could, however, take the proceeds of the sale of property and rights of the Chinese Eastern railway, -which was built with Russian money." Sparks from the "Wires, Pittsburg postal authorities will try to trace a bos of poisoned bonbons sent to the wife of an attorney in that city. The, woman's name is kept secret. The total loss of life in the anthracite coal mines of Lackawanna, county, Pa., in 1904 was 137, against Ü21 in 1003. when the output was muco larger. Judge Alhertson of Seattle decided that no man should be mulcted in damages who breaks a promise to marry a woman he afterward finds is afflicted with tuberculosis. , W. J. White of the Canadian government department of the interior predicts that 00,000 persons from the United States will move to the Canadian west this season, the majority being farmers. Final arrangements for the merger of city and suburban tractions, electric light, water and bridge properties o Wheeling, W. Va., into one corporation with a capital of $7,000,000 have been made. Evelyn .B. Baldwin, the arctic exfVer, has Jost received a message from the American consul general at Christiania, Norway, which was snt by him from Frara Josef Land by balloon June 11, 1X2.

The weekly review of Chicago trade, published Chicago. by R. G. Dun & Co., says: Trade currents perceptlbiy swelled and have moved smoothly, due mainly to the encouraging opening up of the spring season of activity and undisturbed confidence in the outlook. New aemanas for raw material and finished i - - movement of general merchandise, grain, Hides and lumber exceeding both the Previous week and a year ago, and I railroad earnings are seen to be larger on enormous, tonnage. Reports indicate excellent position of winter crops and farm work making excellent progress. Marketing of corn, oats and live stock is yet without "diminution, and the agricultural Brests realizing profitably, now become liberal buyers of necessaries, imi"vweuis ana materials ror improveDealings in the primary markets have been fairly active and without much change in values, but foreign demand for foodstuffs continued mod erate. Retail trade steadily gained with the milder weather and seasonable mer chandise sold freely, while Easter lines were in good request. Receipts of lumber were 34,332,000 feet, against 30,9S4,000 feet last week and 23,738,000 feet a year ago. Local consumption shows a sharp increase for both building and manufacturing purposes, and heavy advance sales were made of stone, brick and cement Jobbing trade in principal staples was largely augmented, interior merchants having arrived in large num bers, and the buying of spring wares reached a heavy aggregate in general dry goods, clothing, shoes and cotton fabrics. Board of trade dealings were of fair extent in the coarse grains and pro visions. Receipts of the leading cereals aggregated C,401,87G bushels, against C.472.S40 bushels last week and 4,061,i8 bushels a year ago. The ship ments were 3,403,261 bushels, a gain of 2o.4 per cent Receipts of live stock, 232,402 head, compared with 20G.178 head a year ago. Bank clearings, $17S,2S3,29G, exceed those of the corresponding week last year by 14.9 per cent. The demand for money exhibits further strength, and new commercial loans were quoted un der 4 to 5 per cent. Failures reported in the Chicago dis trict numbered 24, against 23 last week and 27 a year ago. Bradstreet's report on the general trade condi New YorL tions of the country says Money has hardened at a number of cities, but collections still lag. Especially active lines of trade are dr goods, shoes and clothing, notably at e West Lumber, hardware, paints and oils reflect the approach of an active building season, and hides and leather are active and firmer at leading West and Eastern markets. Farm machinery and implement dealers re port the demand active In the North west The remarkable feature is the con tinuance of the heavy inquiry for all kinds of iron and steel, crude and fin ished.
