DEADLY MINE DAMP More Than a Hundred Miners Killed By Explosion In a Pennsylvania Colliery. SUBJECT FOR INVESTIGATION The Cambria Mill Mine at Johnstown the Scene of One of the Worst of Recent Mine Horrors—State Inspec tor Is Investigating. Johnstown, Pa.. July 14. —After a consultation Sunday evening with the four state mine inspectors summoned here to make a thorough inspection of the Rolling Mill mine of the Cambria Steel company, where the terrible explosion occurred on Thursday, James E. Roderick, chief of the state bureau of mining inspection, dictated a notice to General Manager C. S. Price of the Cambria company, granting formal permission to resume operations *n all sections of the mine, ex- < pt the Klon dike, this morning. The Klondike workings will like iy be closed for several days until perfect security is as sured through the bratticing of openings and repairs necessitated by the explosion. Two more deaths of rescued victims have occurred since Saturday night These deaths raise the total fatalities to 11$. although the company records have it one less. Much confusion has attended the compilation of the record. Mine Superintend, nt G. T. Robinson last evening said: “ I would not like to assert that there are no more bodies in the mine but I don’t think there are. There may be a few.” Tt is g- neral!/ regarded as certain that the full extent of the disaster is now known. State inspectors say that the condition of all the workings are now free of gas and the almost per feet ventilating apparatus is rushing currents of pure air in the uttermost recesses of the subterranean workings There has not been a single place outside of the old abandoned chambers that have not undergone the scrutiny of exports to pronounce everything in as good condition as could be asked or demanded. Os course the inspect ors would say nothing as to their dis eoveries. They will remain mute to the public on the subject until called upon to testify at the inquest. Bodies All Out. Johnstown, Pa., July 15.—N0 addl tional bodies have been discovered in the Klondike mine, although parties have searched all of the several head Ings for unfortunates. Superintendent Robinson says the only place where dead men might be found now would be hi some abandoned part of the mine where the miners in their desperation might have strayed. Missing Ships Safe. Vancouver, B. C.. July 15.—The steamer Melville Dollar, from Cape Nome, passed up to Ladysmith yesterday She repotted that the steamers Jeanne and Portland had arrived safely st Nome The Carlons Crowd. "They’re raising a safe into the tenth Btory next door.” “Yes?" “Yes, nnd there are a lot of people down below who don't seem to realise that the safe side of the street Is the aide directly opposite to the safe's side.**—Philadelphia Catholic Standard.

A GIGANTIC SCHEME National Defense Fund Is Now Pro’ posed to Aid Striking Anthracite Miners. FOR THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL The Scope of the Latest Propositior to Aid the Miners Is Not Confinec to the Ranks of Organized Labor Throughout the Country. Wilkesbarre. Pa., July 9. —A nationI al defense fund to which all organized i labor and the public in general will be asked to contribute is the latest I proposition placed on foot to help the striking anthracite coal miners if they need assistance in their struggle for higher wages and a shorter work-day. Harry White of New York, secretary of the National Garment Workers and member of the conciliation committee of the National Civic Federation, had a long conference with President Mitchell yesterday, during which the plan was approved by the miners' chief, and Mr. White will at once begin preparations to carry out the plan. President Mitchell wants it understood. however, that the miners’ union will accept no aid until their own resources are exhausted. Mr. White came here authorized by several labor organizations to place the proposition before President Mitchell. After the conference President Mitchell had nothing to say about the matter beyond the brief statement that he approved of the plan. Mr. White gave out the following statement: "President Mitchell will accept the co-operation and whatever aid may be rendered by labor organizations of the country and others, but with the understanding that it is to be only used when their own funds become exhausted, which will not be for some time. Mr. Mitchell says that before soliciting outside support the miners at work must set the example themselves by contributing a considerable portion of their earnings to sustain their fellowmembers in the hard coal fields who are fighting their common battle. This will be determined upon at the Indianapolis convention. Mr. Mitchell also welcomed the aid tendered by men of means and influence outside the ranks of organized labor. “Efforts will also be made to originate a movement throughout the country so that the unions and others may be prepared to collect funds when the time is propitious. Public men will also undertake an independent movement and solicit subscriptions from those not connected with labor organizations. This movement will be inaugurated in New York city, and the labor organizations and sympathizers in all the principal cities of the country will be called on to appoint committees to carry on similar work. “All friendly newspapers will be asked to co-operate. The scheme, in brief, contemplates the concentration of the energy and resources of organized labor in behalf of the miners' cause, a resalt which has never before been achieved. It involves the raising of a given amount of money each week with which provisions and other necessaries of life will be purchased The plan has the approval of President Samuel Gompers, and it will be placed before the executive council of the American Federation of Labor for endorsement at its session in San Fran cisco next week.

WAITING FOB WORD Anthracite Operators Looking Forward to Miners' Convention. Wilkesbarre. Pa.. July 14. —The 10th week of the great anthracite miners’ strike may witness the crisis. Everything now depends upon the national convention which meets at Indianap olis on Thursday. If the convention votes solid support to the hard coal miners now on strike the conflict with the operators may be prolonged fry* -j inltely. On the other hand should substantial support not be forthcoming, it may have a discouraging effect on the strikers, and the operators, taking advantage of it. may attempt to resume operations at some of the collieries. This is the concensus of opinion as expressed in operators’ and strike circles. No effort will be made by any of the large coal companies to start up any of their mines this week. Indianapolis must speak first before any move is made in that direction. Shot Wife and Self. Evansville, Ind., July 14.—John Peniger, aged 46. a coal miner, shot his wife to death in this city Sunday because she would not live with him. He then shot himself in the mouth and is in a serious condition. Feaiger was under the influence of liquor when he committed the crime. He has been arrested a number of times for breach of the peace. The officers are of the opinion that he Is Insane. Ho Is at a hospital and the physicians say he has a slim chance of recovery. Cholera's Ravages. Manila. July 12.—.

A BOLD HOLD-UP i Four Maske.t Me i Do Thing- Or, a Colorado Mountain Hoad. Denver, July 15. —Train No. 315 of the Denver & Rio Grande was held up yesterday by four masked men at a point known as Mill Switch, two miles east of Chester. They blew open two safes in the baggage car and demolished the sides and roof of the car. The express company advises that no money was lost—the mail car was not molested. All the passengers were ordered to go to the rear of the train and get on to the ground. After using three charges of dynamite the robbers succeeded in opening the safes and took the contents. They then went back to the passengers and relieved them of their money and jewelry. Many of the passengers threw their money. Jewelry and transportation into the grass and rocks. An engine and coach was returned to the scene with the passengers in order that they might recover their property. One of the robbers addressed remarks to Engineer Rulan, who did not understand what was said, and before Ruian could ask him to repeat his remarks the robber struck him a blow with a Winchester rifle, breaking the stock off the gun. Rulan was able to handle his engine through to the terminal. but his head is badly swollen. No passengers or trainmen were hurt. Sheriffs in the county in which the robbery occurred and in surrounding counties were notified and have taken up the trail. The train is the most important one operated on the narrow gauge line, carrying passengers for Gunnison, Lake City, Ouray, Telluride and other mountain towns on the eastern slope. DAY IS FIXED

Now Practically Certain That Edward Will Be Crowned August 9. London. July 12. —It is officially announced that there will be no royal progress, as originally planned, the day after the coronation, and there will be no procession apart from that in which their majesties will proceed from Buckingham palace to Westminster abbey and return. It is now considered practically certain, in view of this announcement that King Edward will be crowned Saturday Aug. 9 since the holding of the coronation ceremony Monday, Aug. 11 would involve another full bank holiday with the attendant dislocation of general business while Saturday is almost universally observed as a halfholiday. The fixing of such an early date tor the coronation is regarded as an additional guarantee of the confidence of the king's physicians have in a continuance of his rapid recuperation.
