List. the Stand. vestigation. His Premier. oil Wednesday. lib The Pennsylvania Railroad management has heretofore regarded the salary roll as an evidence of excellent business, and the men drawing their salaries of $10,000 a year and upwards have congratulated themselves upon the system which enabled them to secure such hard-working, respectable, educated young men at salaries ranging from $30 to $80 or possibly a trifle more a month. #' I Local Interest attaches to the mine disaster which occurred on Wednesday at Kockyford, near Red Lodge, Carbon county, Montana, Eight men were overcome and killed , by white damp, and many others suffered more or less. The white damp tilled the corridors of the mine after a fire which started on Wednesday. The fire and Its results are the worst ever experienced In the mining history of Montana. A futhwr and son named Ginley. formerly residents of Dupont, are employed in the Itockyford mine. Their relatives have been endeavoring to communicate with them by telegraph, but have so far been unsuccessful. Inasmuch as the names of the Injured have not been published in Eastern papers, the family have been uninformed as to whether or not their relatives have escaped. CHARGES CONFIRMED.

It has been an undoubted shock to some few officials to find that these clerks and low-priced subordinates were regarded as being worth thousands of dollars by coal companies and other business men and that the employes had reasons to be satisfied with the salaries received. As a result of the succession of shocks, the officials of the Pennsylvania, anxious to appear ready to do right, have decided that employes occupying such responsible positions that outsiders find It worth while to pay them thousands of dollars should receive larger salaries from the railroad. Washington, June !D.—In laying before the house committee on agriculture, which has charge of the Neilllieynolds report on conditions in the Chicago packing houses, a report made to President ltoosevelt by a committee of the department of agriculture the president pointed out that there is no conflict iu substance between the Neill- Iteynolds report and that of the agricultural department experts. The president quotes a letter from u competent and trustworthy witness in Chicago snying packing house proprietors are manifesting almost "a humorous haste to clean up, repave and even to plau for future changes." New toilet rooms are being provided, with additional dressing rooms and clean towels. The report says that "the haste toward reform would have been amusing if it were not so nearly tragic." St. Petersburg, June 0.—According to trustworthy reports from Peterhof, Emperor Nicholas has about decided to retire Premier (ioremykln. His majesty Is greatly dissatisfied with the premier's failure to make any headway toward an understanding with the lower house of parliament. New York, June 9.—Michael McDonald, a ship's carpenter, aged thirty, quit work and set out for the home of his parents ut 205 Geneva street, Elizabeth, N. J. He took a short cut across the Long Branch railroad bridge, which spans the Elizabeth liver on the outskirts of town. Philadelphia, June 9.—At the conclusion of yesterday's session the Interstate Commerce Commission suspended its inquiry into the relations of railroads with coal and oil interests until next Tuesday, when the Investigation will be resumed in this city. Probably the most Important feature of yesterday's session was the voluntary testimony of J. McLellan, of Blairsvllle, Pa., contradicting the testimony of previous witnesses who told the commission that it had been the policy of the Pennsylvania Railroad Co. to encourage Its employes to become Interested in coal companies on the lines of the road. Mr. Mc- Lellan said the impression had gone out that the practice was sanctioned by Prank Thomson, a former president of the company, now dead, and he desired to place on record Mr. Thomson's policy. While he was in the employ of the railroad company Mr. McLellan said he was offered stock by Capt. Alfred Hicks. He consulted President Thomson as to the propriety of accepting it and Mr. Thomson advised him to refuse the stock, telling him that his honor and character were worth more than stock secured in that manner. Mr. McLellan also presented in evidence a letter from President Thomson advising him not to accept the stock. Armour Assails Roosevelt. New York, June It.—Dispatches from Paris say tiiat J. Ogden Armour, who is now In thi' French capital, flew into a rage when questioned about President ltoosevelt's attack on Chicago packing house conditions. Mr. Armour denounced the president and said that no sane man would believe the stories that have been told about the meat Industry. Mr. Armour asserted that the packers were not foolish enough to ruin their own business by poisoning their customers and declared that President Rooswolt was unimated by personal prejudice. The foreign meat trade has been Infinitely damaged by the newspaper stories, lie said. The river Is a noisome stream, little more than a rivulet when the ebb tide lays bare its banks and bottom of black muck, clinging as quicksand. Let a rush blade bend and touch the muck and the blade is caught and held, and the tide comes In and covers it. A few of his advisers are urging him to make a frank surrender and accede to parliament's demand for a ministry from the opposition majority. These influences are hardly likely to prevail against the party headed by Geueral Trcpoff, which believes that no further concessions should be made. Report conies from Dupont this afternoon to the effect that another former resident of that place, John Creagen, son of Dennis Creagen, has also been working in the town where the disaster occurred, and his relatives In Dupont are very much worried, not being aware whether or not he is among the victims. No word of any kind has come from Montana in regard to him. Aided by these Increases of salary as planned, and warned by the result of the present investigation, the railroad management believes that graft can be completely wiped out all along the system. Some oftlcers have been surprised at the power, importance and. responsibility that attaches to scores of officials who have heretofore scarcely been considered above the rank of clerks. The tide wus at slack wheu McDonald struck across the railroad ties oil his way home. He made a misstep, and his body slipped between the ties. Au instant later aud he hud lunded tint ou his buck In the yielding muck. If he hud struck u feather bed the landing would not huve beeu more gentle. The cabinet itself, under the lendership of M.

Investigations Not Completed The president says his investigations have not been completed, but that "enough has been developed In my Judgment to call for Immediate, thoroughgoing and radical enlargement of the powers of the government in inspecting all meats which enter into interstate and foreign commerce. Death Penalty Bill Delayed. CANDIDATE STUART TO STUMP STATE Chicago Merchants Denounce Agitation The lower house of parliament has accepted the government's decision to Insist on a month's delay on the death penalty bill, demanding in the meantime the suspension of all death sentences, contending that the government must accept the notice of the bill as a stay of execution.

Chicago, June 0.—The Illinois Manufacturers' association and the Chicago Commercial association at separate meetings denounced the Xeill-Ileynolds report of sanitary conditions at the stockyards as highly colored and scored President Itoosevelt for sending it to congress.

Moscow reports say there is a noticeable increase in revolutionary activity there, and it Is evident that the leaders are preparing to take advantage of the tirst opportunity to start an armed uprising. The workmen of the factories and mills are being systematically armed with Mauser rltles and drilled under the supervision of army reserve foldlers. In spite of the repressive measures adopted by the authorities revolutionary meetings are held nightly In the Industrial sections.

James M. Guffey, the Democratic State leader, yesterday. Mr. Reynolds was asked his previous experience to qualify him to make the meat report. The leaders appear to lDe confident that the morale of the troops of the garrison is undermined, as they have received from some regiments promises of support in the event of a conflict. Revolutionary emissaries have been sent out in all directions into the country to Incite the land hungry )Densants to appropriate land and strike on the big estates. The plan evidently Is to obtain unity of action In the country and cities and Inaugurate a conflict with a general strike. The leaders evidently hope for a complete rupture between the government and parliament, which would furuish the necessary opportunity for an uprising. The situation has greatly alarmed the business men of Moscow and the big landlords of the country.
