Saarbrueck, Prussia, Jan. 29. A firo damp explosion occurred in the Reden coal mine at St. Jobaua-on-Saar, oppo site Saarbrueck, and caused the loss of from 130 to 300 lives. Tho Iieden mine Is owned by the Frussian government. TTp to this writing seventy -seven bodies have been brought to the surface, and fifty-sis corpses are known to be still under ground. Only fifty lire men up to the present timo hava been brought out, and of these the doctors say at least thlrty-nvo will die, ai they aro frightfully injured through Imvins been hurled against the walla of the galleries by the force of the explosion. ""-'. Poisonous Gasea find Fire. . ' 'An official report says tbo number of dead cannot exceed 160. Immediately cfter tho explosion rescue workers wera hurried from all the adjacent mines and boldly entered tho Iieden shaft in preat numbers. The work of rescua was greatly hampered by the poisonous gases resulting from the explosion, and by a fierce fire that broke out immediately afterwards. During the afternoon the efforts at rescue had to bo suspended for these reasons, and the rescua workers had to bo ordered out of the mine. Dmth Roll May Reach SOO. After all the rescuers had reached fiaylijrht, according to one version, n second terrific detonation was heard underground. But according to another report many of tho rescuers were still below when the second explosion ocenrred, and It i3 estimated that the casualty list from tho two explosions Reaches a total of 300 men. It Is regarded as certain that the lowest levels of the mines aro completely wrecked, and the inspectors are deliberating upon further measures to get control of the fire. The managers are discussing the advisability of flooding these levels as the only means of extinguishing the flames. It is believed that all the men who were in tho lower levels assuredly are dead. It will take

a full week to enter and explore the

mine.

BEVER1DGE AND SPOOXER

Two Senators Have a Colloquy That ls Not Affectionate. Washington, Jan. 29. While Beveridge was giving the senators the seo ond Instalment of his speech on childlabor Spooner asked him if he held that congress had power to enact, under the commerce clause of the constitution, a law which would prevent

child labor in the states. Beveridge replied that he so held. Spooner indicated that h should later have something to sy against that position; whereupon Beveridge retorted that tha senator could issue a "fiat" if he saw fit. Indicating at the same time that this fiat would be from the senate judiciary committee. "I issue the fiat for myself," retorted Spooner. "You did give a fiat yourself," continued Beveridge, "when you Introduced a resolution directing th? judiciary committee to advise the senate on Unconstitutionality of the question involved." He then said that tfc effect of the resolution was to maka Senator Spooner chairman of the subcommittee which would report on tho matter. Spooner replied that it was not an unusual thing for the senate to refer a matter to the judiciary committes

for report as to the powei of congress to act on a given matter. "The fiat lay in the adoption of that resolution," he concluded.

Southard measure for regulating sealing in Alaskan waters. "You can't shut me up. All this evidence Is coming. It'll go on the floor of the house," Elliott shouted in reply. "General Irosvenor will interfere whenever he

wants to. Take It into the house a.3 soon as you wish," Grosvenor replied calmly. The controversy arose through Professor Elliott's attempt to read to the committee much testimony concerning the case of the J. Hamilton Lewis, sealing vessel, which was finally settled before the Hague tribunal. Grosvenor, Chairman Payne, Dalzell, and other members of the committee attempted to explain to Elliott that the documents he was reading were of no value in the hearing, but he resented their Interruptions and attacked th-3 members of the committee with a vehemence which afforded much amusement to the committee and the spectators gathered in the room.

, Senate and House in Brief. Washington, Jan. 29. Beveridga occupied the attention of the senate

throughout the day with a continuation of his argument in behalf cf his childlabor bill. He spoke for four hours, and will conclude probably today. The speech occupied nearly the whole session, and was its feature. Twenty bills relating to the District of Columbia were passed in the house. A joint resolution was passed granting

I permission to the secretary of war to

sell during the next three months to citizens of Montana at actual cost to the United States at the place of sale, limited quantities of hay, straw and grain for the support of cattle of settlers, which are reported in dire need of those products.
