JAPAN KEEPS KEEN EYE 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.

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.

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.

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."

All of the Victims Were Burned Beyond Rec ognition. 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.
