U* mltted to see President McKlnley, b
tw only as Individuals and not as repress

dent doubtless would be glad to he
l#,r any views the Filipinos might care
set forth, being fresh from the lslan
and thoroughly acquainted with t,
wishes of the insurgents. But it wou
?A be plainly Impolitic and Inconsistent f
Ion the President at this date and pendli
ary the conclusion of the peace conferen

not nlzed the Philippine government as i

er- time during the progress of the war re
[*he ognised Agulnaldo as an independe

tlon with him it may be stated that tl

secretary of war that he had enter

iraa etructlona, and of -that there can be i
ila- dciubt, he also refrained from enterii
irgt into any entangling agreements, i
for Consul General Wlldman, any u:
an" dertaklng he may have assumed wi
per Agulnaldo must have been upon his ov
ing personal and individual responsible
en- and would be without formal standir
Inasmuch as he had not the express ai
n" thorixation from the state departmer
ilde absolutely requisite to negotiations
the such cases. Therefore, as the case no
Wg stands, the peace commissioners a
free to deal with the Philippine proble

NEW MARTINSVILLE, W. Vft.,
Sept. 23.?In spite of the bad weather,
Congressman Dovener vu greeted with
a large audience to-night. Hi* speech
aroused great enthusiasm, which was
i. In marked contrast to the passivity of
t Blair's audience on Tuesday last. Hon.
| John W. Mclntlre, the chairman^ open'm
cd the meeting In a neat speech, which
put the crowd in a receptive mood for
Captain Dovener** remarks. The apu
pearance of the doughty captain on the
1 platform waa .he signal for a storm of
applause, the heartiness of which must
hfiv* hpnn verv srratlfvln?r to him.
1 In opening his remarks Oaptaln Dover
ner referred to the proposed Joint de.
bate with his opponent, Mr. Blair, but
which was deolined by that gentleman.
1 In commenting on Blair's speech made
b here Tuesday night, Captain Dovener
i said he proposed to show that then
were some Issues In this campaign.
"Thank Clod," said the speaker, "I be.
long to a party that has Issue* We
believe In protection, sound money and
" alt that encourages business proeper1
Ity. In the campaign of ltM there was
t a parly that beilleved In Iree silver.
. KepubHcans believe In a 100-cent dollar.
You'ft remember, gentlemen, who
" got up In the Chicago convention and
claimed to stand for the laboring man.
, Wo stand for the laboring man alio,
but for all that he does we want him
1 paid In 100-cent dollars."
r "We are also In favor of a tariff to
proteot American Industry and Amerl'
can labor."
Mr. Blair claimed that the DemoJ
crallc administration* wore most pros,
perous, but Captain Dovener showed
wherein Blair was wrong by referring
9 to several Republican administrations
9 and comparing them with Democratic
regimes.
The protective tariff laws passed by
9 the Republican congresses were then
s dlscuBfed at length, and the prosperity
t of the' country under their benign Influence
was shown In comparison with the
uviircEBius cucvk ui vu? mnwu ?>?. *??
thin connection Cuptaln Dovener paid
! particular attention to the farming- interests,
and explained the benefits that
" had accrued to husbandry under the
1 fostering care of the Republican party.
After touching on the money question,
the speaker called attention to the
good work done by the rivers and hare
bors committee of the late Congress, of
which committee Captain Dovener was
a distinguished and hard working mem'
ber. ? The waterways of West Virginia
are now being improved under the bill
- passed, which will enable West Virginians
to compete with outside markets.
When Captain Dovener recounted the
Y achievements of the Republican part)',
t and what had been accomplished by the
war with Spain, his audience was spellbound
by the recital, and at his coni
elusion was repeatedly applauded. In
n closing he said: "I am proud of the
Republican party. I am proud of my
country. I am proud of my party be*
cause it has- a history; because It faA
vors free territory, free country, free
. homes, free thought, but free silver?

% PHILADELPHIA. Sept. 21.?Quite a

After Detective Murray had read/ a
1 telegram from the district attorney of
- Charles-Town, W. Va., stating that poe
licemen from that city were on their
way to take the noted prisoner there,
8 he was committed wfthout ball to await
- their arrival.
Then It was that the ex-Judge startled
the crowd that had gathered around
c to catch a glimpse of him and the young
i, woman whom he will not allow to leave
j his side. "Your honor/' he said, "I desire
to have it known that I waive aH
3 legal formalities that might delay in
any manner the speedy execution of
the reauisitlon. I desire to face my ac
. diners ci? soon as possible. I would not
have this dark cloud cast its sombre
e shadow over me any longer than poswlf
ble. It has been said that I was to bo

glnla, for I cart lift the stigma, that
& overshadows for the while that young,

the position that is her due, as my wife,
9 before tlie world."
& Magistrate Jermon listened patiently,
. and explained that he had no further
jurisdiction In the matter than to hofld
9 him. This closed the Incident, and,
. arm In arm, t-he woman and the man
who has fascinated her left the court.

The following were Injured: *
George Baker, miner, burned about
face and breast; John Baker, slightly
burned; Samuel Mclntyre, cut on head
by fall of slate.
The explosion is said to have been
caused by the loosening of a large block
of coal, which opened a pocket of gas. <
Immediately following the explosion of
gas, there was a second explosion of Are
damp. There were seventy men at <
work in the mine at the time of the disaster
and at first it seemed an Impossl- f
bility for any of the fifty-four men in
entries No. 9 and 10, where the explosion
occurred, to escape. Four men, Jacobs,
Davis, Whetsel end Walker, who
were near the entrance, managed to
crawl out and the others with the exception
of those caught by falling coal,
escaped by traversing a mile and a half
of underground passages, coming out at 1
the entrance near Lynn Station. This (
point is four miles from the opening of
the mine on the Monongahela river.

It is difficult to And words to describe
the scenes of to-day. Shortly after the
report was circulated that an explosion '
had taken place at the Empire mine and
that many miners were entombed, Water
street, a narrow thoroughfare lead- 1
ing to it, was crowded with men, women 1
and children, all moving at a breakneck 1
speed toward the mines. There were {
moans and sobs and a general feeling of i
painful apprehension. There were con- ^
Jectures of whether husband, father, ,
hmthor were victims. 1
When the mine was reached willing I
hands at once went to work. There was
no waiting; everybody seemed to want
to get Into the 'mine. It was by sheer
force that those In charge at the entry
kept the crowd out. It was announced
that there wss a sufficient force of men
Inside to do rescue work when a weary
and painful wait of hours took place.
Just above the entrance to the mine
there Is an artificial plateau up against
the hill-side. Prom the edge of the
plateau a good view of the track leading
to the mine could be bad. Here women J
stood wringing their bands In anguish, weeping
and walling, sobs, tears and '
crlea made (he air ring with echoes of !
aching hearts. The hundreds of people :
realised that they stood at the entrance
? * ?!??? Tf win ii*v<>rnl hours 1
later that the tinkle of the electric bell 1
In the engine house announced that a j
train of cool cars was coming from j
within. Tho scene of the disaster Is
more than a mile from the entr?. The j
cars are taken In and out t>y means of ]
heavy iron cables wrapped and unwrap- I
ped by two large spools. It took about
ten vnlnutes for the first load to reach
the outside world. While the cable was <
winding there was a suspense that bordered
on the awful, No one knew what .
was coming, but feared the worst In
which there was no disappointment. As
one of the spools Indicated that the j
load would soon arrlvo the suspense i
was all the greater. <
A fihMtly TrfNMl. C
"Here It comes," was an almost tman- <
lmous whisper. When the little train of ]
cars emerged a shudder was visible In (
the crowd. First there came two cars t
loaded with coal. Then three cars, In 1
ffleh of which were two bodies. In
one were two brother*, side bjr Bide,
John and Salem Halston. In the others
wero Robert Davidson and John Bennett,
William Prltehard and John Cartwright.
James Hall was In the last car.
Two wagons were In waiting and the
Indies were taken to undertaking establishments.
When the bodies were
brought from the mines they presented
a ghastly appearance. Their faces were J
begrimed with (lie black dust of the
mines. Before they were brought out
Ihe resellers tied handkerchiefs around
their heads to give them a better ap- 1
pearance. ?
After the first lot of bodies had been
brought out tho cxcltement and anxiety {
grew more Intense. There were vet t
many men in the mine and there was 1
great anxiety to know who would be
brought out next During the entire
Afternoon there was a desperate wait.
U was announced that many men had }
come out of the mine through an aban- \
loned entry, nearly thre?'tfUU? Al?t*nt.
This allayed the fears of many, and aa
fait aa the men were aoeijjlKllG for to
their frlenda and famlllj|<M)MM|8* and
congratulations followed. ' i \ A]
At t o'clock to-night tin last of the
explorers of the mine came out ?nd announced
that there was nuthlng living
ir dead left In the mine, tecvtav the list U
Df fatalities aa given above. .
