OHJUSSIA,
Chinese Indignant Over the Reoccu
pation of Moukden in Manchu
ria and Russia Is Prepar
ing for Trouble—Constant
Stream of Soldiers.
Moscow, November 16.—The Russian
military reoccupation of Moukden, Man
churia, has caused such tension end has
aroused such an aggressive attitude on
the part of China that the continued dis
patch of troops to the Far East Is now
said to be directed against China, despite
the pacific turn of the Russo-Japanese
dispute.
Troops totaling 250.000 were ordered to
the Far East when hostilltes appeared
imminent and they are being continually
drafted from the government of Moscow
end the nine surrounding provinces. With
the troops already tn the Far East this
■will give Russia tin overwhelming force
with which to overawe China.
May Women Teachers Marry?
(From The Boston Herald.)
The New York board of education has
ma V a rule that declares married women
to be ineligible as teachers In the public
schools. When a teacher marries she is
required to resign her office. One of the
women teachers who became a wife has
refused to resign when asked to do so,
taking the ground that she cannot law
fully be compelled to abandon her means
of support for such a reason. The case
will be taken Into the courts for a judi
cial decision on the right of the board to
remove a teacher because sne has taken
a husband, it would be unwise to pre
judge the Issue of the case. Something
may be said on both sides. It Is com
monly the case that a wife looks to her
husband for her support, and she may in
some state —we do not know how it is in
New York—resort to the courts to com
pel him to support her, If he can earn
money. But the rule is not without ex
ceptions. the wile sometimes supporting
the husband. It is not certain that a
woman who was a good teacher before
marriage will cease to be a good one be
cause she marries. But all general rules
■work hardships in. specific cases.

‘ Apparently, There Is NTo Connection.
Between Systems but Morgan
Controls All the Same—Wil-
liams Remains at Head
of Seaboard.
New York, November 17.—(Special.)—
j After two meetings of the Seaboard Air ,
TJne directors today the Ikidenburg, Thai- i
i rnann & Co. interests wore placated and ;
' the Blair-Ryan relief plan will go •
1 through substantially as published In The '
I Constitution Sunday. A strong board of !
I directors is already drawn, up with cor- I
; responding names In the voting trust, ,
1 which will be announced after the meet- |
t Ing tomorrow morning.
; I was given the list of names In confl
; fle'nee. They embrace men of the highest
I standing, including Boston and Chicago
; people •. f national reputation. They also
■ include and Blair and Ryan interests who
i offered to furnish the necessary money
! to complete the Birmingham extension
and pay the floating debt on condition
■ that they name a majority of the direc
i tors. The Hadenburg people remain but
will not exercise the same influences
I which they claimed to have before. The
result of the deal is that .1. Pierpont Mor- j
i g,:n will predominate In the future man- j
I agon ent. From a high authority 1 learn
■ that President Williams will continue at
I th- head, his peculiar illness for the place
I being generally recognized.
I The result of the arrangement Is that
the company will have abundant re-
i sources for enlarging the system and
j building up ita business and will work In
; harmony with other southern roads.
The amount of money to be furnished. I
will be $3,500,000. and more If necessary. ■
It was feared at one time the Uadenburg |
people would be able to block the deal, |
I but it is reported they were shown their
I error and that the scheme could be put
through in spite of them. If the man
-1 agement Insisted, but just how was not
j explained.
President Williams, while he would not
say anything about the harmony pro
gramme, admitted that everything was
satisfa. torlly .arranyd, und that the.
company's future was all that could be
I desired. The Interpretation placed by
many on the latest Seaboard deal is that
! p means the virtual control of this prop
er tj' by the Southern railway, although
of course It cannot be literally said that
: there Is any connection. Jhe directors to
I be announced tomorrow makes tills clear, i
Seaboard Still Independent.
New York, November 13.—Blair & Co., I
; Thomas F. Ryan and T. Jefferson Cool- I
' idge, Jr., have agreed tp loan the Sea- j
I board Air Line railway rhe amount of '
money deemed necessary by the officers I
■ of that company to pay off its floating
■ debt and to complete the Biriningham-
I Atlanta extension.
In pursuance of this understanding, all
i interest represented in the property
; agreed upon the following directors who
were elected at a meeting this after-
I noon:
John Skelton Williams, Richmond, Va.; ;
■ Thomas F. Ryan, New Vork; James A. ,
| Blair. New York; J. William Mlddendorf, ;
! Baltimore; S. Davies Warfield, Baltl-

iei Thayer, Boston.
President Williams Talks.
The Seaboard Air Line will continue to
be op-rited entirely as nu independent
Km.-. President John Skelton Williams, of
she Seaboard Air IJne, said after the ;
meeting:
"The proposition made by S. Davies (
Warfield, president of the Continental
Trust Company, of Baltimore, on be
half of Thomas F. Ryan, Blair & Co.,
and the Old Colony Trust Company, of
Boston, has been unanimously accepted
and has resulted In the election of a
board of directors satisfactory to all the
Interests concerned. The entrance into ■
the management of the company of Mr.
Ryan, Blair & Co., and the Old Colony
Trust Company in conjunction with La
den burg. Thalrnan & Co., and their as
sociates, marks a new era in Seaboard
affairs, and will place this company in
an enviable position both as to financial
support and able and vigorous direc
tion.
“In connection with the negotiations
leading up io tlie successful conclusion
reached today. Mr. Warfield has played
a most important part. It was Mr. War
field who first saw Mr. Ryan, entirely
without my knowledge, and who after
wards brought Mr Ityan and myself in
to negotiations with the successful rtV’.ilt
ahich has just been accotnplli-hed. Mr.
' Warfield has performed a gA'at service to
the city of Baltimore, and the south, and
I am glad that he will take his old place
on our boaitl of directors, our executive
committee and on the voting tr.v-t.
"The financial arrangements which the
Seaboard Air Line railway has just per
i si ted provide among other things for the
amount required by the company to fully
complete its line from Atlanta to Bir
mingham.
"At the time of the formation of the
syndicate, of which Ladenburg, Thalmann
THE WEEKLY ATLAJNTA. GA.. MONDAY. NOVEMBER 23, 1903.
& Co. are managers, the Seaboard obli
gated Itself to furnish out of its treas
ury, tn addition to the proceeds of the
sale of the $6,000,000 bonds on the At
lanta and Birmingham division, an
amount sufficient to complete this ex
tension, and this has now been done,"
Statement by Warfie.d.
Mr. Warfield gave out the following
statement:
’•There is little to add to what has
been announced. I felt that the suc
cess of the Seaboard Air Line would bb
; immensely Increased by alliances which
would bring the best and strongest fi
nancial support to them in connection
with broad and conservative manage
ment. Recognizing that this would bo
largely accomplished by enlisting the
active interest of Thomas F. Ryan in
the property, I saw that gentleman sev
eral weeks ago, and discussed the sub
‘ ject with him. He expressed himself as
1 willing to tako up and discuss the rnat-
Iter, provided that the plans could have
the cordial support and cooperation of
President XVilliams. He said that he
recognized the great work -Mr. Williams
j had done for the south in the upbuilding
i of the Seaboard Air Line system, and in
l bringing that property to its present
| state of prosperity. I then saw Mr
j Wi.illiams< who, reajlzing the benefit
i which would result to the interests
' which he represented, his friends, and
. the Seaboard generally through such an
! alliance, promptly gave his cordial ap
proval tq my suggestions and expressed
not only a willingness, but a desire to
have Mr. Ryan and h!s friends largely
interested tn the Seaboard Air Lino and
in Ils management. Mr. Ryan associated
Messrs. Blair & Co., wlh him and
an agreement was roaohed. In order that
all Interests should work in. harmony,
Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co., and T.
Jefferson Coolidge, Jr., who had made
an offer of a loan to the company, were
conferred with, and as a result a proposi
tion was agreed to which I had the
pleasure of submitting to the board of
i directors of the company and which has
j just been unanimously approved."

BURN TO DEATH
There Were 500 Italians Asleep in
Shanty When the Fire Occurred.
All of the Victims Were
Burned Beyond Rec

Johnstown, Pa.. November 21.—While
more than a hundred Italian laborers
were asleep in a shanty near Lilly, Pa.,
of the PennsylvaniayJearly today, <he
building caught fire and before the for
eigners could escape at least twenty
seven were burned to death and a scor#
or more were seriously Injured.
The men were employed by McMena
min & Sims on the Pennsylvania railroad
Improvement between Lily and Portage.
There were 500 on the job, all Italians,
and In the shanty which burned were 125
of these. The shanty was about 100 feet
long, one story in height. One end was
used for cooking and eating, at the other
end the men slept tn bunks, which were
crowded. There was only one door at
each end and tho windows were few and
small.
The fire is supposed to have started
from an overheated stove. The building
burned like tinder and the flames were
upon the men before any of them were
aroused.
Then began a struggle for the outside
and for life. They fought and scrambled
for the doors, the weaker being crushed
down and trampled. Others were roasted
to death.
Those who strove for tho door were In
the wildest sort of panic. They fought
and kicked, and among those who escaped
there are many who bear marks of the
fierce struggle which took place. A few
got out of the small windows minus
clothing and with their bodies cut from
broken glass.
Many of those who did manage to get
out had their savings of years In their
trunks, which they left behind In the
building. Remembering this as soon as
they got outside, they fought just as
fiercely to get back. A few succeeded,
but for tho sake of their money they gave
up their lives. An eye-witness says he
does not. believe that a single man of
those who returned succeeded in getting
out again.
In the ruins today some of the corpses
were close beside the hooped bunds of
their trunks and melted gold and silver
which had been kept In those receptacles
Indicated that they had faJlen and died
with their treasure in their arms. The
bodies were all practically burned to
pieces.
An Italian who knew every man in the
shanty was unable to identify & single
one.
Ten Meet Death, in Coal Mine
Connellsville, Pa.. November 21."Hi1l
Farm mine," the ill-fated, tonight added
ten more victims to its black record.
Just as the day shift had about com
pleted its labors and were about to leave
the Ferguson mine at 6;30 o'clock a ter
rific explosion rent the interior of the
mine and nineteen miners who were work
ing in the vicinity were thrown In all di
rections, the roof came tumbling down
and the close air of the mine became
stupefying.
Tlie men rushed in every direction seek
ing means of escape, but only nine suc
ceeded in reaching the pit mouth alive.
These were pick’d up by the rescuing
party in different positions of exhaustion
after an hour cf frantic search.
As these nine men emerged from the
mine pit, one by one, their faces were
ulackened, their hair scorched and cloth,
ing burned almost to shreds from the
tlames that followed the explosion.
The other ten perhaps never regained
consciousness after the disaster. The ex
plosion occurred in the Ferguson mine of
the Dunbar Furnace Company, which ad
joins tho "Hill Farm mine.”
it is believed by mining experts that
the fire, which has been raging in tne
"Hill Farm mine" since the disaster of
1890. broke through the wails which had
been erected between the Hill Farm
mine and Ferguson mine and caused an
explosion of gas. As soon as the news of
tho explosion was known to the officials
of the company a rescuing party was or
ganized and a half-hundred men descend
ed in tiie deep pit to rescue the Injured
and dying. Great volumes smoke roll
ed out of tho mouth of the mine and tho
rescue work was dangerous.
Date Is Fixed for Cuban Vote
XVashington, November 21.—The repub
lican and democratic leaders of the sen
ate were In conference much of tho time
today over the question of fixing a time
for the vote upon the Cuban reciprocity
bill, and so far as they were empow
ered to do so entered Into an agreement
to take the final vote on December 16,
or a little more than a week after the
convening of tiie regular session of con
gress. There was no opportunity tn con
sult some of the democratic senators
who desire to speak on the bill, but -it
is not doubted that they will assent to
the arrangement.
Very little progress was made during
the day In the effort to secure an agree
ment tietween the senate and house for
a final adjournment of the called session
before Thanksgiving, and there were no
conferences between senators and mem
bers. The senators are quite hopeful
that an understanding to that effect will
be reached, but they say that if it is
not they will accomplish the same pur
pose by taking several adjournments for
three days at a time (the maximum time
which one house can refrain from meet
ing without the consent of the other),
and this they declare to be their pur
pose.
The senate committee on foreign re
lations today authorized a favorable re
port on tho bill giving effect to the Cu
ban treaty.
Tho motion to favorably report the
bill was not opposed by any member of
tho committee, and the decision to fa
vorably report was arrived at in less
than fifteen minutes after the question
whs taken up. No effort was made Io
amend the bill, and it will accordingly
be reported to the senate next Monday,
Just as it came from the house of rep
resentatives. The report will be made
by Senator Cullom as chairman of tho
committee.
All the members of the committee ex
cept Senators Morgan and Clark, of
Montana, were present at the meeting.
