NARROW ESCAPE OF LORD AND LADY MINTO. Two Bombs Thrown at Carriage of Viceroy of India. Ahmedabad, British India, Nov.'14.— Lord Minto, the viceroy of India, and Lady Minto had a narrow escape yes- terday from being killed by bombs. They were driving through one of the streets when, without warning, two bombs were thrown at their carriage. A dragoon who was riding alongside spurred forward and with outstretched ‘sabre intercepted the first bomb, hurl- ing it _some little distance away in a sand heap. The second bomb struck the viceroy'’s jemidar, a native lieuten- ant, who was holding an umbrella over ground. Neither bomb exploded, as the soft sand acted as a buffer. On examina- tion they were found to contain picric acid. Just prior to this, as the car- riage passed through one of the streets, a bomb_exploded some little distance away. Police and others, at- tracted by the explosion, ran up and found a man on the ground with his hand blown off. He proved to be an innocent bystander. The bomb throw- ers made their escape in the excite- ment and as yet no arrests have been made. LABOR AND THE SALOON THE QUESTION DISCUSSED By Prominent Labor Leaders at To- ronto M; Meeting. Toronte, Ont, Nov. 14.—The ques- tion of labor and the saloon was dis- cussed this afternoon by prominent labo rleaders at a big mass meeting in Massey hall. The Rev. Charles Steize, a fraternal delegate to the convention of the American Federation of La“or from the federal council of the church. es of Christ in America, presided apd mede the principal address. The other speakers included Vice President Jonn Mitchell and Treasurer J. B. Lennon of the American Federation of Labor. President Thomas L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers of Ameriza, and James Simpson of Toronto. Mr. Mitchell declared that organized labor in.its fight for better conditisns for the wage earners, is doing more icethan any other organization and he refuted thé con- tention that shorter hours of labor and increased wages result in added profits to the saloon. Mr. Lennon said the liquor business lowers the standard of efficiency of the workingman and prophesied that the time would come when the for:es of labor would be arrayed against the saloon. . The United Mine Workers, Mr. Lew- is said, have prohibjted their mem- bers from selling intoxicants, even at ricnics. -Education of the masses, re argued, would go a long way towsrd eradicating the liquor traffic. Rev. Mr. Stelze, in bis address said: “The saloon and the labor nall must b« divorced, This has been the thrice repeated declaration of the American Federation of Labor.

Crowey led up to the 17th mile, breaking all _intermediate records. Then he stopped almost ao a walk, and Clark took teh lead, which he kept to the tape, making new marks for every mile. He finished more than half a mile ahead of Harry J. Jensen, Pastime A. C., who was second, ten yards in front of Willlam Frank, of the Irish-American A. C. All three were inside th eold record.

The red robed judges and counsel filed in and took their places. Every eye was riv- eted on the door through which the prisoner should enter, but she did not appear. M. de Vall the presiding Jjudge, ‘turned to the jury and said: “Have you reached a verdict ?” The foreman arose and replied: “On our conscience we answer ‘No' to ev- ery. question.” A salvo of “bravos” followed this announcement and bedlam broke 1oose.

Panl (Coal Mine at Cherry, IIL 400 MEN AND BOYS ENTOMBEL B et SIGNALS HEARD FROM THE VICTIMS Alive—Among the Mi Cherry, T, Nov. 14.—Nearly four hundred ‘men and hoys, it is believed tonight, -are dead or perishing in the St. Paul mine as a result of yesterday’s fire, though experts who penetrated the smoke-filled al\shaft to a depth of 300 feet early tonight returned with a ray of hope for the grief-stricken rela- tives of the entombed miner: Fire Believed to Be Extinguished. That the fire is extinguished is the report of mining experts sent by Gov- ernor Deneen to investigate the calam- ity and its cause. For more than thir- ty hours the entombed men had been cut oft from fresh air before the shaft was entered tonight and they undoubt- edly have been subjected to smoke and gases. That life could éxist under such ter- rible conditions is doubted by many; but because no trace of high tempera- ture was found in the depths of the :mine tonight friends of the miners and even officers of the company renewed some of their failing hope. Signals from the Entombed. A. J. Barling, president of the Chi- cago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Raflroad company, which owns the mine, re- ceived an encouraging report after heroig efforts had been made today to open the mine for the recovery of the unfortunate men. From John Reid, sone of one of the missing miners, Mr. Earling heard that & concussion of the earth had been felt by farmers half a mile south of the malin shaft. This report was sent first to Henry Burke, an officer of the min- Ing company. Burke rushed to Presi- dent Earling and safd: “T've heard signals from the men. John Reld's boy says that he farmers whose land is over the south- ern end of the mine felt several con- cussions of the earth this afternoon. There were se shocks n men who felt them are convinc they were shots fired by the imprison- ed miners to signal to the people above that they still’l # “Would the sho the miners had end their agony ident.

The list, of the missing miners was completed today und it reached the total"of 285, Including the dead whose charred bodles were taken from the burning cages Saturday. It was de- clared: to be probable that this list might be increased. One hundred and seventy men who entered the mine Saturday morning have been accounted for. The,com- pany had scores of tracers at work to- day rounding up the employes, and nightfall the company officers said tha a reasonably complete roster of the men had been obtain: Among the missing * many Ameri- cans who have lived for years in the mining fields of MNlinofk.

When re= pairs had been made the explorers descended again. Slowly they went down three hundred feet. It seemed many minutes to the anxious crowd befate the: signal for ascent caime. When the men re_appeared Willlams said: “We struck an obstruction at three hundred feet. . We found we might get by it, but it was problemate ical whether we could pass it in com= ing up.” After a rest, Willlams and Smith, this time, accompanied, by Inspectar Taylor, descended at dusk for the third time. 'They were gone for ten min= utes. Could See No Sign of Flame. “We got to the buse of the second vein,” said Inspector Taylor on reach- ing the surface, “and though we could see little, we found no excessive tem- perature. It was apparent that the fire had not penetrated deeply into the mine. We could see no sign of flames, If the temperature throughout the sec.. ond vein is no more -excessive than there, then in the deeper and farther recesses of the mine it is probable that there may be oxygen enough to keep the men alive, We saw no trace of men, either dead or alive. Tomor- row I think we can proceed further into the mine with safety.” y, I, Nov. 14.—When explora. tions were abandoned tonight it w announced that men fitted with oxygen armor would probably penetrate to the bottom of the mine tomorrow. M Shaft to Be Opened This Morn« ing. Late tonight after a conference of the mine inspectors, company officers and experts, it wis decided to open the main shaft in the morning and to send the explorers into the mine in the regular cage. 1t was determined to seal up the airshaft tonight. The experts believe that conditions will be safe for them to walk around in the veins before many hours. & CORONER’'S INQUEST.

Refused to Hoist the Cag When thé rescue party had ‘been at the bottom of the shaft some time without getting in communication with the engineer by the usual means, Mar= tin Powers, Dr. Howe and Herbert Lewis, the Jast named a_brother of ona of the rescue party, rushed to Cowl s0 the engineer testified.

Each train was packed With men and women attracted by cu. riosity or by a craving of news from a loved one. b Slow Rescue Work. Work of the expert rescuers pro- ceéded slowly. They first drilled hole through the concrete at the top of the second level shaft and made préparations to lower Mr. Williams and his volunteer experts into the mine. These actions took place within a circular wall of humanity. ropes’ and_ policemen kept the excited and _almost hysterical throng away from the men at work. With oxygen bags on their should ers and steef and glass hoods ov thelr faces and heads, Mr. Williams, James B. Webb of the university of Hiinofs.

They were the first men to en. ter the St. Paul mine since the trag- edy of yesterday. IThe throng stood almost motion- less. expectant, yet fearful.
