John Whitney, who was beyond the dip when the explosion took place sald st the heading halt a mile from the ex- plosion. Several dozen were overcome by the damp or gas and I had all T could do 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 man and saved bis life. I did not see my father who was strugeling to get out. I don’t think many outside of the rivers es- caped.” William Maleolm was Iu the upper part of the mine when the explosion came. He ald: “The first I knew of the troubls was 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 clothes and in a terrible state of 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 Bennett and John Meyers were in the mine where the explosion took place but managed to escape. About 2 o'clock they comcluded to go back into the mine and brought back a report as to the situa- tion. They went two miles Inside and on the way saw the dead body of Eddle Ya- manski, at the first side track .about @ mile from the explosion polnt “The damp was fearful” sald Mr. Ben- nett, “we had to turn back, we could go Do furthes Armory for Charnel House.

After a conference tonight it was an- nounced that the dead miners would “be brought to the armory tomorrow.

It appeared to be a smoky, stinky substance, whether gas or damp I could not tell. It was terrible whatever it wi John Martin, George Wallace, Patrick Muldoon and Joseph Cohegchaski came out of the Mill Creek opening some time after the explosion. ““We were all working at what is called Goodys, two miles back,” sald Martin, speaking to a representative of the Asso- clated Press. ‘“We were beyond the polnt of the gxplosion half a mile. At least fif- teen men were back behind us, Thomias ‘Wallace and his four ‘buddies’ were all that we saw who escaped from a point near the explosion.

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 know ms rights and lefts by the miners. The men who escaped this afternoon are familiar with the mines. They have spent years working in it. Otherwise they could _mot have reached the surface. Lights were out and there was no.way for them to find thelr. way to the fop had they not known the mine perfeotly, The mine has been open for about fifty ‘years'and is producing 3,000 tons per day. It is the property of the Cambria Steel company, whose general offices are in the Arcade boilding, Philadelphia. The fami- 1les of the entombed miners are assembled 1n large numbers at the mine opening, but they cannot secure any definite information and must endure a suspense of many hours. Not All Are Dead. .« “They aren’t all dead; we ran across some of them alive,” stammered Dr. Swan Tay- lor at 10:66 tonight, when he staggered out of the shaft at Mill Creek.

Indeed he could scarcely talk at all" for neatly half an hour, He waa Almost overcome with foul air in the mine, where he had been with the first rescuing party sent down. He had been down in the mine since 2 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 was just an hour, though, when the first victim was brought up. It was Willlam Robertson, ao- companied by Dr. Jobn B. Lowma We have four with us,” said the doctor. ““Rob- ertson is in the worst shape, He 1# uncon- sclous and badly hurt. We passed twenty- five bodles while getting out these four who are yet alive. We counted them as we went\along. They lay In all sorts of positions, one man was' sitting, lesning agalnst a door, not far from Robertson, just where he had been thrown by the ac- cldent, Froth was running from his mouth and he had undoubtedly dled in great agony. Others were partly standing, and: partly re- clining. They were in heaps and singly. The party with us has nearly reached the actual scene of thé 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 four live men and one corpse were brought up and lald on mattresses, rugs and com- forts on the ground. They were not left long out of doors, as it was too cold there, but they were carried into the bollér house near by and the doctors went to work on them, giving them restoratives and admin- istering oxygen in the glare of the fires of the open furnaces. There was a great crowd around the mouth of the shaft, most 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 fHick ropes in a semi-circle around the boller house en- closure, the ropes being held In the bands of the bystanders Find Fifty-Three Bodles. At 12:15 o'clock this morning General Manager Moore of the mines, who with Superintendent Robinson had penetrated to a considerable distance in the Kigndike, had reached a telephoue station.and no- tified men at the main entry that he had recovered fifty-three bodies up to that time and had only been In the right rooms. From the briet report it was understood that Mr. Moore had gone far he could without endangering his Hfe from fire damp, and had decided to go to the Mill creek entry from there witheut fur- ther search. Further news came a few moments later that Mine Superintendent Robinson, who had gone into the mine with Genera] Man- ager Moore, had been overcome with fire damp and was unable to talk. He had been carried to the Mill creek entrance. The mine employes stationéd at the mine entry stated that the fact that Mr. Moore had penctrated so far into the miné showed that the fire damp was’ being cleared rap- 1dly and that with every prospect of being entirely driven from the mine before morning. Measures for the rellef of the stricken tamilies have already been taken. A fund started late last evening by the Johnstown Democrat at midnight amounted to $200. W. A. Crist, general manager of the Ber- | wind-White Coal company, promptly, con- tributed $110. As ‘mear as can be learned less than twelve Americans were killed; the rest were Hungarlans and § Harry Rodgers, the foreman of the mine, is undoubtedl dead. ’/ That many of the men who were thought Iast night to be still n the miine will be able to survive until reached by the rescu- ing party is not thought probable.

Word was recefved last night by the boilermakers that the remainder of the company's shop force at North Platte, four in all, & cook, one bollermaker and two other mechanics, had quit work and were on their way to Omaha to cast their lots with the strikers at the central polnt of insurreetion. The bollermakers are looking for some more vital developments in their affairs within the pext forty-eight hours. 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 the Union depot and no attempt by strikers was made to stop_them. The men were guarded by the | chief'of the raflroad secret service, Willlam Carada, and a half dozen specials. The train, due at 11:20 o'clock; did not arrive until 12:40, and = half-hour before that time the men who Wi shipped out, in company with the specials, left the station and congregated in front of the switch- house to the west. When the traln pulled in they went around in fromt of the en- gine and boarded without being molested. A party of strikers was at the depot when the train pulled out and for some time before.

(From a Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, July 10.—(Special Tel 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 hould take an active interest in the work of reclamation been realized, the fleld of work 1s transferred from the rostrum,to the domain of the engineer. The adminis- tration of the law is practically and pri- marily in the hands of Frederick Haynes Newell, hydrographic engineer and.chief of the Division of Hydrography of the United s'llll!l geological survey. Mr. N@well has ade the subject ot irrigation a life study and he will now be given an opportunity to put the result of that study into practical operation. Mr. Newell was asked to ex- plain what would be done first, what see- ond, what would be the ultimate result of the undertaking of federal government to reclaim such vast arid reglons of the west. First Work to Re Dome. “The first work to be done,” was his re- ply, “is to send civil engineering parties into the fleld to investigate and report on three distinct phases of work to be dc- complished. For instance take the gov- ernment territory which it is desired to Irrigate. Before any actual construction is begun it is necessary to ascertaln the cost of construction of the dam and canals, to survey and plan the detalls of each and besides the law requires reports to be made as to the amount of land to be frrigated and the probable benefit in dollars and cents to each acre. “When you realize that the work Is to be dome, not at any given locality but that the most avallable locations are to be se- lected, the vastness of the work becomes 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 Under Way. The civil service commission is belng drawn on for civil engineers and the fleld force ls being Increased as greatly as pos- sible. Partles 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 as rapldly as collected and here it will be classified, the merit of each proposition compared with those of other locations and the conclusions of experts presented to the secretary of the Interior. The work which will be begun first will doubtless be on the site whichi presents the best prospects of | good results and shows the most natural advantagés. Mr. Newell estimates that for the next hundred years there cannot be irrigated mwore than 60,000,000 acres of arid land, not- withstanding the clalm in congress that sometiing ke 200,000,000 acres could be reclalmed. In the far future he says it may be possible to conserve the waters of the mountains to such an extent as this but the realization of this vast dream fs far ahead at the present th It will doubtless be two or thres s before ctual’ work of construction will be begun in any locality.

He sald the plans contemplated an entirely new structure, the present bullding, however, being utllized, & complete new building be- ing erected ground it.

WASHINGTON, July 10.—A cablegram bas been received at the War department from Governor Taft, transmitting the reply of the vatican to the proposals of the United States government. Secretary Root did not get the message until late in the forenoom, as it had to be translated from cipher, and he bas not yet | considered the subjéct. The abstract ca- bled ‘to ‘the’ Assoclated 'Press last night from Fiome contaits all the ‘essentlal fe: tures of the reply. Secretary Root will take a copy of the vatican's reply to Oyster Bay and submit it to the president before making any definite reply. The secretary will not di cuss the subject now, further than to say that it s a plain business proposition which is under negotiation, based entirely upon the instructions which were given to Governor Taft before his departure to Rome. In these instructions, regarding the removal of the friars, the secretary sald . t 1s not, however, deemed to be for thé interests of the people of the Philip- pine Islands that in thus transforming wholly unproductive tracts of land Into money capable of productive investment a fund should thereby be created to be used for the attempted restoration ef the fria to the parishes from which they are now separated, with the consequent disturbance of law and order.” This particular feature of the instrue- tions is considered important, in view of the differences reported from Rome, and it s understood that this will be kept fully in mind and adhered fo in any ne- gotiation that is completed With the vati- | partment has received a chblegram from caf.
