Ono hundred and twnnty-rour bodies,
many horribly mutilated and a numboi
dlsmomburcd wore taken from the
mine of tho Pittsburg-Buffalo Cortl com
puny nl Alartuuna, Pa., where ah o
nloRlon killed many men and cant into
glfiom what was considered tho niodol
mining town of tho world.
There la llttlo doubt that tho death
list will reach at least 12C inpn. It Is
possible that the oxnet number of inou
killed will neor be known. Tho bod
ies were brought to the surface lit an
Iron bucket. Anns, legs and heads wcr
massing front some and tho trunks ol
others were burned, bruised and cut
Two of tho inou had been suffocated
nnd their bodies Wore not ovon

dent of tho PJttBburg-Buffalo Coal com
pany, owners of tho mine, who was
employed as head timekeeper, Ivlll's
body was found beneath a coal dig
ging mnchtno and It was apparent
that tho young man hnd crawled tlioro
In a yaln effort to escape tho deadly
fumes. Tho body of tho other man
was found near Ivlll. Tho uttfortunata
man had placed' his face In a pool of
water, which all minors aro advised 10

pprnto attempt to fight off suffocation
until rescued,
Tho coroner of Washington county

then adjourned until all of.tho bodies
have been taken from tho mine.
Reports havo been In circulation
that a Berotnl and more terrific explo

Tho company officials assort this is
Jtot'truo. There Is considerable gas
In the mine, however It Is estimated
that ono-fourth of tho victims nra
Americans. The work of rescue la
being hurried on as rapidly as possi
ble.. At short intervals now men aro
sent into the mine to rellovo others.
Owing to the dangorous gases and'
mass of wreckage, the work Is slow
and 1b being carried on with grent pre
caution. Notwithstanding the Isola
tion of Marlnnna, thousands of per
sons found their way there. Many
funerals were held Monday.
David G. Jones of tho company said
that when ho left tho mlno 124
bodlos had' been recovered, of which
thirty-two had been fully Identified.
Tho company, he said, would only ac
count for 126 men in the mine at the
tlmo of the explosion. The only
man who escaped from the mine after
the explosion, Fred EH tiger. Bustntned
Injuries from It which It Is believed
be'csnnot recover.
' 44 DIE IN HUNTING SEASON.
,Two Women Among Those Who Lost
Their Lives Injured Total 57.
Tho hunting season, which for deer
closed Monday, has. been much less
deadly than those of previous years.
Only forty-four persons were acci
dentally killed this year, against sev
enty-two lu 1007 and seventy-four In
100C. Tho number of Injured also
'shows a falling off, tho number for
J 908 being fifty-seven, against eighty
tmo In 1907 and seventy In 190C.
Over half of tho fatal accidents hap
pened In the four states of Illinois,
Michigan, Minnesota and Wisconsin,
the number In thosa states being 7, G,
G a-J 2 respectively.
An unusual feature this yonr Is tho
killing of two women. Mrs. Jacob
Gnntz of Warsaw, Ind., was killed by
her husband, who had shot at a hawk.
Mrs. Albert Skinner of Peru, Ind.,
met death at the hands of her hus
band, who accidentally sliot her as ho
was starting on a hunting trip.
Five of the dead were mistaken for
deer and ten were drowned.
WEST GUTHRIE UNDER WATER.
Cottonwood River Overflows and 3,000
P?ple Are Homeless.
As tho result of a forty-eight hour
downpour in the valley of the Cotton
wood river and its tributaries the Cot
tonwood overflowed at Guthrie, Okla.
Several hundred homes are partially
under water In West Guthrie and 3,
000 people aro homeless. The river is
higher than ever before In Its history.
Hundreds of people who refused to
get out of the flooded district, believ
ing that the river would not rise as
rapidly as it did, fired shots of distress
and hundreds of boats with an army of
rescuers brought the tardy ones to
places of safety.
So rapid was the rise In the Cotton
wood that Beveral head of cattlo in
tho affected district were drowned be
. fore they could be gotten out of tho
waters. Streot car service is complete
ly at a standstill. Tho city's water
plant Is under water.
All railroad trains In and out ot

The Haytlen revolutionists, under

ing up their victory over tho govern
ment forces at Ansca Vcru, are push
lng up to Port ftu Prince. Thoy have
driven back tho government troops

of Mlragonno and Petit Ooavo. It is
believed that General Cyrlaqtio, min
ister of war, who took refugo In the
Gorman consulate at the former town,
Is still there, but it is feared that
(bore will be many defections of Hay
Urns to the revolutionary army.
President Nord Aloxls has onergct

NEW LIGHT ON PARIS CRIME8.
Mme. Steinheil Believed to Be Mur
deress of Husband and Mme. Japy.
All tho new light thrown upon tho
murder of Adolpho Steinheil and
Mmo. Japy, which occurred on tho
night of May 31, nt tho home of the
artist In Paris, only goes to
strengthen tho conviction that Mme.
Stelnholl either strangled tho victims
alone, after administering a narcotic
or polbon, subsequently binding her
self to her bed, or had an accomplice.
Tho body of the murdered painter
was disinterred and removed to tho
morgue, but tho surgeons found that It
was In such a ftate of decomposition
as to make It an impossibility to per
form a complete autopsy.
Jt la now learned that Mme. Stein
heil was receiving tho visits of an
other rich lover in addition to Mnurice
Bordcrel and that she had promised
each of them that she would marry
him In the event of her becoming wid
owed or divorced. Testimony from
every quarter seems to upset com
pletely the ch&rges of the royalist
press that tho late President Felix
Fnuro was tho victim of criminal deal
ing, but even M, J)upuy, his premier,
does not deny (Tint Mme. Steinheil
was with him shortly before he died.
ATTACK MADE ON WALLACE.

An ouster suit instituted against W.
H. Wallace ot Kansas City, Judge of
the criminal court of Jacksoa county,

FLEET ON WAY HOME,
American Battleships Set Sail
From Manila.
Stay at Manila Was the Flftal Ex
tended Sojourn of Vessels at Any
Port Before Sighting Home 8perry
Bids Farewell to Philippine Officials.
With tho long homeward bound
pennants of the vessels Btrenntlng
in tho breeze that blow across Manila
harbor Uncle Sam's great licet of bat
tloships started from Manila Tues
day on the last log of their
cruise around the world. Tht'v will
stop at other ports before ses.tig tho
Atlantic coast or tho Uhltod States
rise before their ees. but tho stnj nt
Manila which ended Tuesday was the
last long sojourn of tho licet beforo
renchlng home.
Tho last leavo taking of tho military
and civil officers stationed there with
the men of the fleet was a simple cer
emonj In the presence of an assem
blage of Americans and well known
natives Governor Smith In a short
speech extended to Admiral Sperry
ADMIRAL SPHRRY
nnd his men th) best wishes of the
isinndets for a safe and pleasant voj
nge to the homeland In reply the
admiral returned his thanks for the
hospitality shown to himself and his
men nnd oxpressed their wishes for
the continued prosperity and peace of
the Islands under Governor Smith's
administration
As tho heavy smoke began to as
cend from tho smokestacks of the Con
necticut, flagship of the fleet, and the
kicking np of the water under her
Btern proclaimed the fact that her
propellers had begun to move for the
beginning of tho end of the great
cruise tremendous cheers and shouts
of good wishes in various tongues
aroso from the crowds lining tho
shores of the bay.
It seemed as though all Manila and
Its suburbs had turned out to wish the
vessels godspeed. Not even the enor
mous groups that lined the shores of
Sydney harbor and gave oar vessels
bo royal a sendofT nt the Anstrallan
port were more enthusiastic than the
Manila crowds.

NEWBERRY HOW HEAD OF NAVY,
1 1 Take Office as Successor f Secre
tary Metcalf.
The navy of the United States has
a new official head. He is Truman II
Newberry of Michigan, formerly as
slstant secretary of the navy, who has
acted as secretary slnco the retiring
Becretary, Victor Metcalf of California,
was incapacitated by illness.
The homo of the new secretary i
In Detroit, Mich Ho Is very wealthy,
having inherited a large fortune from
SECRETARY NEWBERRY,
his father, and is interested in many
railroads and corporations He is a
graduate of Yale university.
Mr. Newberry has been interested in
nnval affairs for many years. He was
one of the organizers of the Michigan
srttte naval brigade, acting as lands
man In 1895 and ns lieutenant and
navigator In 1897-8. He obtnlned a
commission In the United States navy
aB lieutenant In Mny, 1898, nnd served
throughout the Spanish-American war
on the Yosemlte. Mr. Newberry was
appointed assistant secretary of tho
navy by President Roosevelt In 1905.
u. s. and Japan in compact.
Notes Defining Policy Regarding China
Are Finally Exchanged.
Secretary of State Root, on behalf
of the United States, and Ambassa
dor Tnknhlra, on behalf of Japan, ex
changed diplomatic notes defining the
policy of the two governments In the
far east. The actual ceremony of ex
change was very brief, Secretary Root
handing the ambassador a note whicn
bore his signature and the ambassador
giving to Mr. Root a paper defining Ja
pan's policy and bearing his signature.
Legislative action by the senate Is
unnecessary and the declaration or ex
change of notes will not have to bo re
ferred to that body. The declaration
Is not a treaty, simply a reaffirmation
of what botli Japan and the United
States have stood for in China and
tho far east generally. It ha no legal
standing, but Its greatest benefit will
be that derived from the moral effect
It will exerefne In the future diplo
macy governing the far east. In this
respect It has been likened to the
Monroe doctrine in American history.
It was pointed out as rather a sin
gular coincidence that tho exchange
of notes with Japan regarding China
shonld occur on the same day aB that
on which Tang Shao Yi had come to
thank the American government for
the remission of the Boxor Indemnity.
BRANDENBURG IN COURT.
Faces Judge Today on Larceny Charge
for Cleveland Article.
Broughton Brandenburg, the author
and journalist, faced the court in
New York city Monday on a charge
of larceny in the second degree In con
nection with the sale of tho disputed
Cleveland letter which caused a Bon
satlon during the recent presidential
campaign. This letter, which purport
ed to be tho views of former President
Cleveland on the Issues of the cam
paign, attacked' William Jennings Bry
an and his views.
The paper which published the Inter
view declared that it was purchased
from Brandenburg after assurances
from tho executors of Mr. Cleveland's
estate that It was genuine. These as
surances were afterward withdrawn
by Mr. Hastings, one of the Cleveland
execntors, and It was then declared
that the Interview was a forgery.
Brandenburg was arrested in Day
ton, O. He waived extradition and
was brought to New York. The churge
against him is similar to one of ob
taining money under false pretenses.
