tomcthlng tho mine Inspectors of the Ninth
nnd Eleventh districts spent the greater
part of today trying to find out. Tho
officials of tho coal company declare that
none but regulation mine lamps wcro used,
whllo others ore of tho opinion that cno
of tho men carelessly Ignited the gas and
caused the catastrophe.
It was acertalncd today that for several
weeks men have been nt work In mine No.
2, where the Unit explosion happened,
erecting cribbing between entry No. 9 and
entry No. 21. Much of tho cribbing hod
been placed In position and It wos while
doing this work Monday afternoon that
Peoples, Davenport. Stliklo and Daly met
death.
Tho explosion was a terrific one and for
fully three houro nfter It happened no ono
entered the shaft. The situation here to
day again reached a climax when Mine In
spector Callahan, accompanied by reven
men, descended the shoft and startel upon
an Investigation tour of tho mine. The
men gnvo the signal to be lowered down
at 0:04 o'clock and about an hour after
ward a terrific report was heard. It was
nnr'her explosion nnd gravo fears were
entertained for their safety. The exper
ience of tho men was told by Callahan. He
said the escape of the party was a miracle
and detailed their experience. Ho further
said:
"I never had been In n mlno In the con
dition that this ono Is. I nm nearly ex
hausted from swallowing so much ufter
domp. My lungs nro like coals of fire,
There is no hope of saving any person In
the mine, and It may be a year before
tho bodies are recovered. It will take two
days to fill the mine with water and twelve
months to pump It out again.
Fnrhldn Any More Attempt.
WEST NEWTON, Pn., June 11. Late this
afternoon the officials of the Pittsburg
Coal company Issued an order refusing to
allow anw more men to enter the shafts,
ns the danger was too great. They are
now considering tho advisability of flooding
the mlno for the purpose of extinguishing
the fire. There Is now uo hope for res
cuing tho entombed men.
Smoke rcso from tho shaft during the
night In great volumes. Orcat excitement
prevailed aud the entire population of the
town remained all night at the mine eagerly
awaiting some news from those thought to
be either burled under the tons of slate or
slowly awaiting cither death from flames or
relief from tho outside, with small thanco
favoring tho latter. ,
In the nttempt to rescue tho men known
to bo In tho mlno other lives were placed
in Jeopardy And may be lost.
From what could be ascertained, last
night nbout 6 o'clock there was a low,
rumbling sound, followed by a roar which
sounded like a cyclone, then three sharp
and short reports.
Whllo awaiting tho arrival of appliances
necessary to enter a burning mino a tempo
rary rescue party entered tho shaft and
started toward tho spot where It was
thought some of tho entombed men may be
found. Lying nt the bottom of the shaft
were Lawrence Settler and John Stakes.
Unconscious and covered with dirt, the men
wrn mitrklv taken to-. the ton of the mine.
They could give no Information as to what
causod the fire.
About 7 o'clock William McCune of West
Newton, general superintendent of this dis
trict; Dennis Wortley, pit boss of tho mine;
Michael Roy, foreman, nnd several other
bosses, with nbout twenty men, went down
Bhaft No, 1, which Is just opposite on the
Baltimore & Ohio side of the river.
Volnnteer Ilellef l'artle.
About threo hours after the rescue party
had been In tbe mine two more explosions
wero beard. Meantime tho crowd around
the oponlng of the shaft had increased, the
crowd including mothers, wives nnd sisters
of many ot the men entombed.
At 11 o'clock four men volunteered to go
down shafts No, 2 nnd No, 3 and one man
down No. 1.
At 3 o'clock W. A, Sweeuoy and Frank
Stratton came to the surface, bringing
Harry Beverldge In an unconscious condi
tion, with both arms and a leg broken and
badly burned, He cannot live. All three
men succumbed shortly after leaching tho
surface. Sweeney, who was mainly In
strumental In saving Beverldge, was able
to tell that he climbed over the bodies of
at least three men on his way out. The
explosion occurred at the time when the
shifts were changing from day to night
turn and It Is Impossible to tell how many
were In the mine at the time, but certainly
no less thsn thirty are entombed.

MIRE COAL THAN EVER BEFORE
Year ItMltl Show to llne Kseeeded
All I'retlon Prod net Ion lleeord
State .HUostIiim.-
WASHINGTaN. June it. Official reports
show that tho year 1900 closed tho. century
with the largest coal production .ever re
corded In tha -United States and continued
tho supremacy, of the United States among
tho conl producing' countries of the world.
Practically complelo returns to Edward W.
Porker, statistician' of the United States
geological survey, show tho total output of
coal In 1900 to have been 207,512,414 short
tons, an Inalcase 'over the pl-cccdlng year
of 13,802,452 tons, "Or a little more) than 5
per cent. The value- of this product was
$287,920,000, nn Increase of 10 per cent over
1S!9. Coal producers felt a greater Improve
ment from the trade conditions In 1900 than
In either 1898 or 1899.
Much coal was delivered under contract
in 1899 at less than It cost to produce It,
thft prlco of labor having advanced before
the operators Could advance tho price of
coal. The value of tho coal product In 1900
(tho aIuo being free on board of cars at
mine) was equal to nearly one-third of tho
value of the total mineral product of the
United States In 1899. Maryland, Oregon
and Idaho were tho only stntes whose coal
product In 1900 was less than that of 1899.
Owing to tho strike In tho nnthraclto re
gions of Pennsylvania In tho autumn of
1900 the production of nnthraclto- coal de
creased about 3,000,000 long tons, the prod
uct In 1900 being -60.988,982 long tons, ns
against 53,944,647 long tons In 1899. This
decrease was more than mndo up for by an
Increase of nearly 6,000,000 short tons (about
4,900.000 long tons) In tho output of bitum
inous coal In tho- state. Tho decrease In
Maryland amounted to 782,703 short tons,
or over 16 per cent, and In Oregon to 33 1-3
per cent of tho product In 1S99. West Vir
ginia showed the largest Increase In ton
nage, exceeding 20,000,000 tons for the first
time.
The net gain In Pennsylvania amounted
to 2,150,000 short tons. Alabama coined
800,000 tons, or U per cent. Tho most notnble
comparative gains were made In Arkansas,
tho Indian Territory, Michigan and Utah.
Kansas Increased Its production 600,000 ton,
or 16 per cent, nnd Kentucky 575,000 tons,
or 12 per cent. Prior to 1899 Great Britain
was the leading coal producing country of
the world, but In that year tho United
States took first place. The production of
Great Britain In 1900 amounted to 225,170,
163 long tons, or 252,190.573 short tons.
compared with which the United States has
n lead of 15,300,000 short tons, or Just
double that of the. preceding year. .

WHAT TO DO WITH SU SHIN
Aaslnlnnt freeretnry of Trenmiry Hit to
Decide Whether to Admit or
H&cknde Hint.
WASHINGTON, June 11. The question of
tho deportation ot Su Shin Chang, tho
prominent Chinese official and reformer,
now under arre.it at San Francisco, will
bo determined by Assistant Secretary of
the Treasury Taylor.
Tho question of his right to land Is vory
much Involved, the collector at San Fran
cisco declaring that Su's papers are en
tirely correct and regular and the Chinese
consul general Insisting that he obtained
admission through false pretenses. It Is
thought at tho department that there may
bo a good deal of Chinese politics, mixed
up In the caso, but the. matter will be
held In abeyance until, In response . to
Secrotary Taylor's order alj tjie, papers
bearing on the'easorpach. here, .
The Chinese authorities, hero .say, that
undue importance is being attached to..Sii,
as he is not ono of tho prominent group
ot agitators and Is entirely too unimportant
to have any such price placed upon him.
It appears that tho leading spirits of the
agitation nro .Kang and ono or two other
prominent Chinamen, but Su's name. It Is
said, has not hitherto figured among them.
About three months ago an Imperial decree
was issued, relieving these agitators. .from
punishment, so that, it la stnted, . they
would be free from molestation If they re
turned. Ilovnl HlulilHiHlem F.lcot.

IT SLUGS,
Kien Harder Tlinn a Price FlKhter.
A newspaper man Is subject to trials and
trlbulatluns the same ns ordinary mortals.
Coffee "slugs" a great many of them.
D. Bcldleman, on. the Wilkes Barre Rec
ord says regarding his experience with
coffee, "A little over two years ago I was
on the verge of collapse superinduced by
tho steady grind of the newspaper office.
tor weeks I did not have a night's sound
sleep and the wakeful nights wore followed
by despondency and a general breaking up
of the constitution. I ran down In weight.
My family physician Insisted that I leave
off coffee and take on Postum Food Coffee
but I would not hear to It.
"One day I was served with a cup of
coffee, as I supposed, that had a peculiarly
delicious flavor. I relished It, and when
drlnklug thi second cup 1 was told that It
was not coffee but Postum Food Coffee, I
was dumfoundod, and for a time thought I
was the subject of a practical Joke, How
ever,- I became a firm bellover In, and user
of Postum from that time, and almost
Immediately I began to slsep nights and the
Irrltnbleness disappeared, and In loss than
three months I was completely well and
In seven months my weight Increased up
to 198 pound;. I can now do the work of
two ordinary newspaper men,"
There Is a great Mg lot of common se,nso
In leaving off coffee and using Postum
Food Coffee.
