EXPLOSION IN A MINE

Over a Dozen Men Were prisoned.

WILKESBARRE, Pa., Oct. 8.—Shortly after a o'clock yesterday afternoon a terrific explosion of gas occurred in the Dorrauce mine, operated by the Lehigh Valley Coal company, which is situated in the northwestern part of the city, it is not yet known how many men were in the mine. The officials are very reticent ana it is almost impossible to get any information from the levels of the earth where the rescuers are at work.

At 8 o'clock five men, all badly burned, were brought to the surface. They are:

Robert Blauchard, aged 19. William Miller, aged 21. Michael Moss. George Lafly. Joseph Murphy. The iirst two are members of gineer corps. Moss and Lafly borers, and Murphy is a driver, and Blanchard are so badly burned that they can not live.

Blanchard gave his version of the explosion to a reporter as he lay on a cot in the hospital. Shortly after 5 o'clock the engineer corps decided to make a survey of the old abandoned workings known as the Baltimore section and which underlie the grounds of the Wilkesbarre base ball club, one mile distant from the main opening of the mine. The party, which was in charge of Fire Boss Daniel Rees, who is an expert on mine gas, consisted of William Jone, William Cahill and Lewellyn Owens. Blanchard and Miller were left behind to furnish some work that had been started in the morning. About 12 minutes after the party had left Miller and Blanchard the explosion occurred. Both Miller and Blanchard were knocked down by its force. Flying timbers also struck Miller, breaking both his arms.

After being knocked down, Miller and Blanchard remembered nothing until they were revived at the hospital. Blanchard thinks some of the engineers, or probably the lire boss set fire to a body of gas in the old workings and that all of the party must have been instantly killed. When Blanchard was found he was being slowly roasted to death. The gas had set fire to his clothes and they had been almost burned off his body when the rescuers camo upon him. Miller, with his broken arms, could render him no assistance, and Blanchard WHS so pinned down by debris that he could not make use of' his hands.

AT 9 o'clock, Moss, Lafly and Murphy were brought to the surface. They, too, were badly burned and were taken to the hospital.

Firedamp made its appearance shortly after o'clock, and it was necessary to do considerable brattice work, which proceeded very slowly. There is a strong suspicion also that the explosion caused a heavy fall in the old workings, and that this will retard the work of the rescuers. It is now admitted by the mine officials that there is no hope of finding the engineer corps alive. They all perished in the explosion, and if they were not killed outright they were suffocated by the firedamp.

The superintendent is of the opinion that they were killed by the force of the explosion and their bodies probably burned to a crisp. All but eight miners and laborers have now been accounted for. Whether these eight perished with the engineers will not be known until tomorrow. Superintendent Chase thinks, however, that the list of dead will not number more than seven or eight. These many be put down as follows:

William T. Jones, mining engineer, aged 21, Wilkesbarre. William Cahill, mining engineer, aged 20, Wilkesbarre.

Llewellyn Owens, mining engineer, aged 24, Pittston. Daniel Davis, fire boss, aged 38.

Three unknown men, probably Hungarian laborers.

IMPORTANT DEMANDS.

The Obstructive Tactics to the K.u-Cheng Inquiry Must Be Stopped.

LONDON, Oct. 8.—Dispatches received here from Shanghai say that Captains Halifax of H. M. S. Undaunted and Is'ewell of the cruiser Detroit have been instructed to ask the viceroy to order the mandarins, who are said to be openly menacing with vengeance those Christians who give information of the Ku-Clieng outrage, to stop these obstructive tactics and to allow the inquiry to proceed.

It is believed that the refusal of Chan Chi Tung, viceroy of Nauku, to receive a visit from tlie British Admiral Builer, is due to direct instructions from Pekin.

J.ast Stand of he IIov:»s.

LONDON, Oct. 8.—A correspondent of The Times at Antananarivo, writing under date of Sept. 2U, says: "The French are 30 miles off and are advancing fast. The British cemetery and the French observatory here have been wrecked. The queen, in a speech yesterday said, 'The French are close upon you. You said you would fight for mo, but you have not fought. I will not yield. I shall die at the palace.' The Hovas are preparing to make the last stand at Ambohmanga."

BRUSSELS, Oct. 8.—Dispatches received here from Wavre, 15 miles from this city, where the collision between a crowded passenger train and an engine occurred, show that 18 instead of 10 persons were killed, and that \00 persons, and not 40, were injured. Several of die wounded people are so seriously injured that their lives are despaired of. There are no Americans among the dead or injured. 'Die passenger train was just passing the raiiroad station at Mousty, when an engine coming from Ottigies at full speed ran into it and telescoped three ot' the carnages. Relief gangs aud medical assistance were promptly sent to the scene of tue accident from all neighboring points, and everything possible was done to succor the wounded, at least 30 of whom were in need of prompt assistance. Among the passengers aboard the train were M. Bernaer, president of the chamber of deputies, and his family. IS one of them sustained serious injuries, and the president was unhurt. Mine. Mourlou, wife of the well known engineer, was among the killed.

Longowitz is in jail pending the coroner's inquest, having been arrested after a desperate fight with the officers.

FARMERS ORGANIZED.

An Incorporated Body Formed to Obtain Kcdress From Railroads.

CLEVELAND, Oct. 8.—A unique organization, the American Protective association has been incorporated with headquarters in this city by N. S. Amstutz, a well known electrical inventor, aud half a dozen farmers. Its object is the protection of farmers from the railroad companies.

Farmers complain that if they are not well-to-do and influential, they are unable to obtain redress when fences, barns and hay stacks are burned and cattle killed by the railroads. The association proposes to embrace farmers, establish a fund by means of annual dues and keep in its employ attorneys to present such cases in court.

England Encroaching ou Venezuela.

LONDON, Oct. 8.—The Venezulan consul at Cardiff has written a letter to the press giving the history of the boundary dispute between Venezuela and Great Britain. He says Venezuela has repeatly proposed to settle the matter by reference, but that the Marquis of Salisbury, Earl Granville and Lord Rosebery have persistently declined to do so. Since then, he adds, Venezuela has made repeated efforts toward arbitration but, he claims, the British encrochments have steadily continued until they now extend far beyond the Schomberg line into the territory of Turuari.

Damage Done

jJiinus and Other i'roperty. WINONA, Ills., Oct. 8.—The inhab­

itants of this town were greatly alarmed yesterday morning by an earthquake. The shock occurred at 1:20 and was preceded by a rumbling noise that awakened nearly every one. A few moments later there was a shock. Then there was a lull for two or three minutes, followed by more rumbling and then more quaking, which was so violent as to shake dishes from the pautry shelves.

Many people ran to the streets in their fright, and in some instances women screamed for aid. It was over an hour before quiet was restored, and many people were so alarmed that they sat up until daylight. The shock was so violent that a good deal of damage was done to the coal mines iu this vicinity. Slate and rock was shaken from tne roofs and veins, and there is scarcely a mine but will have to expend $200 or $300 to repair the damage

Soldiers Sent to tlie Scene, but Iiittle

Hopes of Capturing tlie Murderers.

POCATELLO, Ida., Oct. 8.—A courier and scout for tlie United States troops, named .f. W. Wilson, has just reached

this place, bringing details of the killing of Captain Smith and two comrades by Indians in the lower part of Jackson's Hole ou Thursday morning.

The Indians had sworn vengeance against Smith, as it was he, they believed, who killed one of their tribe, find was the cause, indirectly, of the death of a papoose last July. Smith I was wounded himself in this fight, but recovered. Wilson states that Captain Smith and his two companions were prospecting on the south fork of Snake river, at the south end of Jackson's Hole, and were ambushed, and he aud his two companions were shot dead and their bodies left on the river bar.

Wilson and Constable Manning were scouting in this locality at the time, and both saw the dead bodies of the men. Wilson at once reported the facts at Camp Granite, and troops left immediately for the scene of the killing. Wilson says there are about 60 Indians in Jackson's Hole—Bannocks from the Fort Hall reservation.

Captain Collis, who has command of the soldiers who started for the hole, will drive out all the Indians found there, but it is almost certain that none will be encountered, as they will anticipate the arrival of the troops, and head, by a circuitous route, for the reservation.

STATE ARBITRATORS.

Much Good Accomplished During the l'ast Year in Ohio. COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 8.—Secretary Joseph Bishop of the state board of arbitration has filed the first annual report of that "iody, as well as his own report as secretary, with Governor McKinley. In he latter Secretary Bishop begins by rcciting in detail the particulars of the ases which have been considered and have been acted upon by the board since its establishment, dwelling especially upon such of the labor troubles in the state which have a greater or less bearing" upon public affairs. He follows this recital by some general observations on the purposes and accomplishments of the board, saying among other things: "While the number of cases the board has acted upon luring the year is not large, some of them involved large numbers of men, representing extensive interests, and were therefore farreaching in their consequences and have furnished striking illustrations of the advantages of having a state board ready at all times to act as occasion might require. Instances may be cited when through the agency of the board, by mediation and conciliation, strikes and lockouts have been settled, threatened difficulties have been averted, and all questions amicably adjusted without the loss of time or the suspension of work. It is reasonable, therefore, to believe that as employers and employes become better acquainted wfth the spirit and purpose of the law aud more familiar witi the methods employed bN the board that its services will be more frequently invoked in the settlement of industrial disputes."

Home For School Teachers.

KANSAS CITY, Oct. 8.—Attorney McCune has just obtained a decree for the incorporation of an "International School Teachers' Home association," with official headquarters in Kansas City.

CUBA AND PAM-AMERICA.

Important. Movement For Rights of Belliferents About to Be Made.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.—A special to The Herald from Washington says: Thereis discussion in politicle circles here* over the possibility that all the PanAmerican countries may in tlie future* act jointly in the recognition of the belligcivncy of the Cuban insurgents.

Pan-American representatives heic have been anxiously waiting to see what Secretary Olney will do, and the

suggestion has been made informally to 4 the departm. nt that it would be a good plan for the United States and all South and Central American countries to at in concert either as to the recognition of the insurgents or as to the independence of Cuba whenever the proper tim arrives.

It has already been reported thai Mexico and Venezuela have decided to grant belligerent rights. If this is the case the representatives of the respective countries in this city have not been* advised of it.

It is admitted b' those concerned. however, that the insurgents must. make greater headway before it will be entirely safe for tlie United States or any other republic to recognize themThe proposition for joint action is based upon the possibility uf insurgent victory in engagements winch are likeiv soon to occur.

In the 13th, when Ullman was staggering all o/er the ring and bleeding freely, one of his seconds lost his temper and threw a sponge, striking the referee squarely in the lace. The police prevented a free light ami the referee gave McCov the decision.

POOR PROSPECTS OF A FIGHT-

Attorney General Harmon Has Something,

to s.-u

WASHINGTON. Oct. —Attorney Gen eral Harmon has reiterated Ins statement made last week that, tlie CorbettFitzsiLiinons fight will not come off on any round over which the United States has anv jurisdiction.

The talk that the .Six nations, or other Indian tribes, have exclusive jurisdiction over their reservations or country and by adoptuig ihe prize fighters as members of their tribes can thus put them outside the pale ot Federal jurisdiction is regarded Federal legal circles here as simply nonsense, without basis of fact.

The further coutt iition that there i* another ground within tlie boundaries of tlie United States over which souiu state or the United Stales has not police jurisdiction is le'.aided as equaiiw absurd. Sluggers' island, in the Mi ssouri river, which is ei asset I as "neutral ground." is uii.ier the lic» jurisui"tion of the state of Mh-oun.
