EXPLOSION OF FIREDAMP Of the Four Hundred Men Under Ground at the Time of the Disaster About Seventy Escaped, a Majority of These Being More or Less In- Jured—Fierce Fire Prevents Any Attempt at Rescue. Hamm, Westphalia, Germany, Nov. 13.—There was an explosion of fire- damp in the Radbod mine which prob- ably will result in very heavy loss of life. Already thirty-five bodies bave been brought to the surface and 800 men are still under ground in grave peril. Four hundred men were working in the pit at the time of the disaster. About seventy of them have been brought to the surface. Of these a majority are more or less injured and one has since died. One hundred and fifty men are in shaft No. 2 and it is believed that they are all doomed. The violence of the explosion caused the walls of the galleries to fall in. No hope is entertained for the 300 men still below ground. Rescuers arrived from all directions and the work of getting below was at once organized. These efforts, how- ever, were necessarily slow and at- tended with extreme difficulty. One of the shafts, together with its ele- vator cage, has been completely burned out. An improvised cage was sent down with a corps of rescuers who made heroic efforts to reach their comrades. In a few hours the fire had made such headway that the rescuers had to be called back to give way to the fire fighters and the flames are still spreading. The vicinity of the mine is sur- rounded by police and the public is not permitted to approach. Despair- ing scenes are being witnessed among the crowds of relatives who have gathered outside the police cordon. EXPLOSION IN POWDER MILL Many Passengers on Nearby Train Injured. Kansas City, Nov. 13.—A terrific explosion in the glazing room of the Excelsior Powder company at Dodson, ten miles south of Kansas City, wrecked that part of the plant and damaged a Kansas City Southern pas- senger train, inbound for Kansas City and standing on the tracks nearby. One person was killed, a man em- ployed in the powder works, and thirty-five persons were injured. Most of the injured were on the train. Their hurts, with the exception of one person, are considered slight. Engineer Kline was the only per- son in the glazing house at the time of the explosion and as he was in- stantly killed no one can say how the explosion occurred. The glazing house, which is a small structure, and two other buildings belonging to the powder company were demolished. The main plant, which is situated sev- eral blocks from the glazing house, was not damaged. The total property damage will not exceed $25,000. The injuries of the passengers and members of the crew of the train were so slight that only two remained at the hospitals in Kansas City after be- ing taken to those institutions for treatment. SIX CHINAMEN DROWNED Their Boat Wrecked While Crossing Lake From Canada. Buffalo, N. Y., Nov. 13.—A gasoline launch towing a clinker boat contain- ing ten Chinamen, crossing from Can- ada, was wrecked on the south break- wall and six of the Chinamen were drowned and four saved themselves by clambering upon the breakwall, from which they were taken by the police boat. The six bodies have been recovered. 1f there were any white men in the boats they escaped, but one of the Chinamen said he was running the iboats and that no Americans were with the party. The living Chinamen were cared for by a watchman on a dredge lying in- side the breakwall, who had been at- tracted by their cries for help. The watchman also notified the police boat, the crew of which arrested the four Chinamen and assisted in securing the bodies of the dead. All Escape Serious Injury. Butler, Pa, Nov. 13.—Passengel train No. 11, southbound, on the Bes: semer and Lake Erie railroad, run- ining forty miles an hour, was wrecked near here. More than one hundred passengers oscaped with slight in- juries. The tender jumped the track fn a deep cut and two baggage cars and two coaches were hurled against the bank, turning half way over on their sides. Missouri Town Shaken. Sedalia, Mo., Nov. 13.—Two slight shocks, believed to have been earth tremors, were felt here. Windows and doors were violently shaken, but no damage was done. ABANDON USUAL CONTEST Socialists Will Make No Fight in Fed- eration Convention. Denvgr, Nov. 13.—Characterizing the participation of the American Fed- eration of Labor, through its execu- tive council, in the recent national campaign as a distinct victory for the socialist cause it is announced by that element in the federation that there will be no fight in this convention of the federation between the socialists and_their opponents. _Heretofore this Busily spinning dainty fabrics for their trousseaus, the Daughters of The Revolution, in fancy, spun fairy fabrics of another kind— beautiful dreams of a table set for / two, snowy linen, rare old china. and the quaint, old-fashioned aae silver handed down from Colonial times.

Five Children Cremated. Elkins, W. Va., Nov. 13.—An explo- sion of gas in the home of E. J. Rice, a harber at Beverly, near here, result- ed in the death of his five children, who were burned to death before they could be rescued. His wife escaped. The house was destroyed. ITS FIRST MEETING | IN REGENT YEARS German Bundesrath Called o Discuss Situation. | Berlin, Nov. 13.—The meeting OS the foreign affairs committee of the ‘bundesrath, or federal council, now in session here, is.attracting much inter- ested speculation, The circumstances preceding the assembling of this com- mitlee, a most unusual -step, have given rise to the inference that the meeting is called to take some action with the idea of preventing Emperor William from pursuing an independ-‘ ent course in the foreign affairs of the empire, as well as from publicly indicating a personal policy differing | from that of his government. The ministers-president of the Ba- varian, Wuertemberg and Saxon dele- gations to the council—the bundes- rath represents the individual states of the empire as the reichstag repre- | sents the German nation—arrived in Berlin for the committee meeting a few days ago. The assembling of ths committee has become to be an al- most forgotten feature of the constitu- tional institutions of the German em- pire and it is for this reason that so much speculation attaches to the ex- traordinary proceedings. ! FAVORS TARIFF REVISION | Furniture Manufacturers’ Association Adopts Resolution. Grand Rapids, Mich., Nov. 13.—Sec- retary J. S. Linton of the National Association of Furniture Manufactur- ers announced the adoption of the fol- lowing resolutions at the semi-annual meeting of the association: “We, the National Furniture Manu- facturers’ association, representing 300 manufacturers with an output of about $40,000,000 worth of furniture annually, hereby adopt the following resolutions relative to the present tar- in: “We favor the immediate reduction of such of the tariff rates as have en- abled a few beneficiaries to combine and thus destroy competition. “We favor the creation, for future regulation, of a permanent nonpar- tisan commission and the enactment of legislation that will establish re- | ciprocal trade agreements based on | maximum and minimum schedules.” EX-SHERIFF UNDER ARREST Accused of Aiding in Murder of Sen- - ator Carmack.
