llnct I tumbled forward until finally I
reached a place of safety." .
John Whitney, who Va beyond the dip
when the explosion took place said: "I waa
at the heading half a mile from the ex
plosion. Feveral doren were overcome by
the damp or gat and I had all I could da to
escape. It was terrible. After the explosion
we went back to rescue the less fortunate
and nearly lost our own lives. We got one
nan and saved his life. J did not see my
father who was struggling to get out. I
don't think many outside of the rivers es
caped." William Malcolm was In the upper part of
the mine when the explosion came. He
aald: -The first I knew of the trouble wss
when the men came running out of what Is
known as the dip, or lower, section. They
came running without hats, coats and some
without clothel and In a terrible state or
excitement. As near as I can remember
not more than ten came that way and they
escaped, leaving at least 200 In the dip."
Richard Dennett and John Meyers were
In the mine where the explosion took place
but managed to escape. About 2 o'clock
they concluded to go back Into the mine
and brought back a report ae to the situa
tion. Tbey went two miles Inside and on
the way saw the desd body of Eddie Ya
tnanskl. at the first side track about a
mile from the explosion point.
"The damp was fearful," said Mr. Ben
nett, "we had to turn back, we could go
do further."
Armory for Charnel House.
The armory of Company H, Fifth regl
Bent, N. O. P., will be turned Into a char
nel house.
After a conference tonight It was an
nounced that the dead miners would ""be
brought to the armory tomorrow. Planks
have been laid on chairs In the armory
and the removal of bodies will begin at an
early hour In the morning. The ambu
lances of all the undertakers in the city
re at Mill Creek ready to begin the trans
fer of bodies.
John Hewlltt, of 813 Market street, at the
time of the accident was two miles back In
the mine. ' The explosion, be said, was
about 400 yards from where he was work
ing. ;. i
"There were six' of us together, and as
soou aa we heard the1 xpl6sIon we pulled
op stakes and got out aa quick as possible.
Richard Bennett was one of the men with
me. After Bennett got out he went back
again. After the explosion we could not
see our hands before us until we reached the
main heading. It appeared to be a smoky,
stinky substance, whether gas or damp I
could not tell. It was terrible whatever It
was."
John Martin, George Wallace, Patrick
Muldoon and Joseph Cohegchaskl came out
of the Mill Creek opening some time after
the explosion.
"We were all working at what Is called
Goody, two miles back," said Martin,
peaking to a representative of the Asso
ciated Press., ,"We were beyond the point
of the explosion half a mile. At least fif
teen men were ' back behind us, Thomaa
Wallace and his. four ''buddies' were all
that we saw who escaped from a point near
the explosion. We did not bear the ex
plosion but Jelt the- shock and left at
once."
Statement of Mine President.
.
At midnight President Powell SUckhouee
waa seen at' the .mouth of the mine and
gave out the following statement:
The disaster Is an unuftual one and came
on ua entirely unexpected. The mine had
been inspected -only ' three days ago and
was pronounced In satisfactory condition.
In the fifty years that the mine has been
in operation there has een no accident.
7 The cause Is yet Indefinite, but I believe
t was caused by gas escaping from the
fifth heading, which was ojosed and waa
riot being worked, because IT contained gas,
into C&a sixth. heading.
The number of casualties Is now placed
t 126. No list of the names of the dead
miner ean be given, for the -majority of
them were foreigners and were known only
by check arid rot by name. The only way
their names will ever be known, If the
bodies are not recovered In time for Identi
fication, will be by their families sending
their names to us.
The mine In which the , explosion oc
curred U on of the largest In the United
States. : mlL '
The entrance In the hill across the river
from the point to the one at Mill creek is
a 'distance of three and three-quarters
miles. .The Klondike section In which the
explosion occurred Is about two miles from
the Mm Creek entrance. The mine is di
vided Into a large number of headings, lev
els and sections. The sections run off to
the right and left of the headings and are
known at right and left by the miners.
The men who escaped this afternoon are
familiar with the mine. Tbey have spent
year working In It. Otherwise they could
not bar reached the aurface. Lights were
'out an4 ther waa no -way for them to find
their, way to the op had they not known
-the mine perfectly.
The mine baa been open for about fifty
year' and 1 producing 1.000 tone per day.

In large number at the mine opening, but
they cannot secure any definite Information

dead or alive be wss unable to say. Indeed
he could scarcely talk at all ' for - nearly
half an hour. He waa almost overcome
with foul air In the mine, where be had
been with the first rescuing party sent
down. He had been down In the mine since
I p. m. He was unable to tell anything
about the work of the rescuers he had left
behind him. He could only say that they
would soon be coming up. It waa Just an
hour, though, when the first victim was
brought up. It was William Robertson, ao
companled by Dr. John B. Lowmaa. "We
have four with us," said the doctor. "Rob
ertson Is In the worst shape. He It uncon
scious and badly hurt. We passed twenty
five bodies while getting out these four
who are yet alive. We cpunted tbem as
we went along. They lay In all sorts tt
positions,' one man was " sitting, leaning
against door, not far from Robertson,
Just where he had been thrown by the ac
cident, Froth wa running from his mouth
and be bad undoubtedly died In great agony.
Other were partly standing, and- partly re
clining. They were In heaps and singly.
The party with u has nearly reached the
actual acene of the explosion and the work
of bringing out the poor fellows ought to
progress rapidly from now on.''
It was nearly 12 o'clock, before the first
tour live men and one corpse were brought
up and laid on mattresses, rugs and com
forts on the ground. They were not left
long out of doors, as It wa too cold there,
but they were carried Into the boiler house
near by and the doctors went to work on
them, giving them restoratives and admin
istering oxygen In the glare of tho fires
of the open furnaces. There was a great
crowd around the mouth of the shaft, moat
of whom had been waiting for the appear
ance of the rescue parties from six to ten
hours . and some even longer. The mine
officials had stretched thick rope In a
eml-clrcle around the boiler house en
closure, the ropes being held In the bands
of the bystanders. '
Find FIfty-Tbree Bodies.
At 12:15 o'clock thla morning General
Manager Moore of the mines, who with
Superintendent Robinson had penetrated to
a considerable distance In the Klondike,
had reached a telephone station,. and no
tified men at the'iiala entry that he had
recovered flfty-thre bodies up ' to that
time and had only been In the right rooms.
From the brief report It was understood
that Mr. Moore had gone aa tar as he
could without endangering hi Hf from
fire damp, and had decided to go to ths
Mill creek entry from there without fur
ther search.
Further new came a few moment later
that Mine Superintendent Robinson, who
had gone Into tho mine with General Man
ager Moore, had been overcome with fir
damp and was unabl to talk. He bad been
carried to the Mill creek entrance. The
mine employe stationed at the mine entry
stated that the fact that Mr. Moore had
penetrated so far into the mine showed
that the fire damp was'' being cleared rap
Idly and that with every prospect of being
entirely driven from the mine before
morning. '
Measures tor the relief of the stricken
famllle have already been taken. A fund
started late last evening by the Johnstown
Democrat at midnight amounted . to $200.
W. A. Crlat, general manager of the Ber-wlnd-Whlte
Coal company, promptly", con
tributed $110. As near a can be learned,
less than twelve American were 'killed;
the rest were Hungarians and Slavs.
Harry Rodger, the foreman of the mine,
Is undoubtedl dead. . !
That many of the men who were thought
last night to be still in the mine, will be
able to survive until reached by the rescu
ing party is not thought probable. Imme
dlately succeeding the . exploelpn the air
all over the big mine became' so foul that
even with the huge pumps working to
their 'fullest capacity and the air they
supplied turned. Into the. proper channel
to reach the Imprisoned men, none of the
mine official would hold out any bop
for the live of those thought to be still

MOVES ON STRIKERS
(Continued from First Pag.)
from all the shops over the system as to
this agreement and this partly accounted for
the failure of the Omaha men to reach a
conclusion last night. North Platte wa
heard from and In emphatic terms opposes
the agreement, but the majority of shop
are believed to be heartily In sympathy
with it and It la the firm obnvlctlon of the
majority of the Omaha carmen that the
agreement will stand for all the car build
er over the system, a adopted by the local
lodge. '
Asked If he considered a strike of the car
builder probable F. A. Jack, of the execu
tive committee lat night, aald Jn hi opin
ion there wa not the remotest possibility
of a strike among the men. He consider
the matter settled according to the agree
ment. The blacksmiths held ' a meeting lsst
night, tut It waa merely perfunctory.
They assert their Intention to remain
steadfast In the strlk.
Word wa received last night by the
bollermaker that the remainder of the
company' shop force at North Platte, four
In all. a cook, one bollermaker and two
other mechanic, had quit work, and were
on their way to Omaha to east their lots
with the striker at the central point of
Insurrection.
The bollermaker are looking for some
mora vital development in their affair
within th next forty-eight hour. They
refused last night to say definitely what
these developments were to be.
Ten men were shipped, out last night on
the Colorado special from th Union depot
and no attempt by itrlkers was made to
atop them. The men were guarded by the
chief 'of the railroad aecret service, William
Canada, and a half doien specials. The
train, due at 11:20 o'clock, did not arrive
until 12:40, and a half-hour before that
time th men who were shipped out, In
company with the specials, left th station
and congregated In front ot the witch
house to the west. When th train pulled
in they went around 'in front of th en
gine and boarded without being molested.
A party of striker waa at the depot
when the train pulled out and for aome
time btfor. 8om intimations of violence
were made, but no overt aota were com
mitted. KILLS PROMINENT MISS0URIAN

RECLAIMING ARID v LANDS
Chief E4rgraphr Newell Ontlioti Borne
f Preliminary Work.
NO IMMEDIATE RESULTS TO BE EXPECTED
II and red Tear Will Rot See Amoant
of Land Reclaimed Which Oppon
ene of Irrigation Bltl
Proclaimed.
(From a Staff Correspondent)
WASHINGTON, July 10. (Special Tele
gram.) Now that the fight for the reclama
tion of the arid west has been won In con
gress and the long cherished hope of west
ern statesmen that the general government
should take an active Interest In the work
of reclamation been realized, the field of
work Is transferred from the rostrum, to.
the domain of the engineer. The adminis
tration of the law 1 practically and pri
marily in the hand of Frederick Hayne
Newell, hydrographlc engineer and . chief of
the Division of Hydrography of the United
States geological survey. Mr. Newell has
Siade the subject ot irrigation a life study
and he will now be given an opportunity to
put the result of that atudy Into practical
operation. Mr. Newell was asked to ex
plain what would be done first, what sec
ond, what would be the ultimate result of
the undertaking of federal government to
reclaim such vast arid region of the west.
First Work to Ite Done.
"The first work to be done," wa bis re
ply, "I to send civil engineering partle
Into the field to inveittgat and report on
three distinct phases of work to be ac
complished. For Instance take the gov
ernment territory which it Is desired to
Irrigate. Before any actusl construction
Is begun it Is necessary to ascertain the
cost of construction of the dam and canals.
to survey and plan the details of each and
besides the law requires reports to be made
a to the amount of land to be Irrigated
and the probable benefit In dollars and
cents to each acre.
"When you realize that. the work I to
be done, not at any given locality but that
the most available locations are to be se
lected, the vastnese of the work become
more apparent." - Mr. Newell stated that
from the passage of the Irrigation bill to
the present time the work done embraces
the sending out of surveying parties to
make observations and report on details.
Work Now Inder Way.
The civil service commission Is being
drawn on for civil engineers and the field
force 1 being Increased a greatly aa pos
sible. Parties of this character are now
working in California, Oregon, Washington,
Montana, Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Arizona and
Colorado. When reports have been received
data will be forwarded to Washington a
rapidly as collected and here It will be
classified, the merit of each proposition
compared with those of other locations and
the conclusions of expert presented to the
secretary of the Interior. The work which
will be begun first will doubtless be on the
site which presents th. best prospects of
good results and show the most natural
advantages.
Mr. Newell estimate that tor the next
hundred years there cannot be Irrigated
more than 60,000,000 acre of arid land, not
withstanding the claim in congress that
something like 200,000,000 acres could be
reclaimed. In the far future he says it
msy be possible to conserve the water of
the mountains to such an. extent as this
but the realization of this vast dream Is
far ahead at the present- time. It will
doubtless be two or three year before
actual' work of construction will be begun
In any locality.

The modern, education, will undoubtedly
lend to an Intelligent emancipation of the
Filipinos. But It Is not only the scientific
and material element J of American civiliza

greatly modify and possibly transform the
existing method of production, transporta
tion and exchange.
While economically and Industrially the
archipelago will tako on a new and much
Improved countenance there Is one other
phase of Philippine life, a deeper and more
vital phase, that Is destined to be still
more profoundly- influenced by. all our edu
cational work In the 'archipelago. If Amer

by th greater excellence of Its literary and
scientific productions, but by the superior
skill and Inventiveness with which It em

economic efficiency. It 1 also differs from
that older civilisation In another respect

Secretary Root will' take a copy of the
Vatican' reply to Oyster Bay and submit
It to th president before making any
definite reply. . The eecretary will not dis

that it is plain business proposition
which is under 'negotiation, .based entirely
upon the Instruction which were given
to Governor Taft before, his departure to
Horn. In these Instructions, regarding

for the attempted restoration at the friar
to the parishes from which they are now
