C., Sept. 30.—Premier Dunsmuir, president of the Wellington Colllery Company, has received the fol- lowing dispatch from Alexander -Bryden, | manager of the Extension mines of that | company, situated near Ladysmith: “Fire occurred in No. 2 slope at No. 3 | level, which made such headway that in balf an hour it was half way up the slope, spreading to the airways and work- ings of both No. 2 and No. 3 mines. I was obliged to stop both of the mines after the two explosions. Have lost some | men; cannot say how many.” ° Mr. Dunsmuir left by special train this evening with a staff of engineers. o More Vietims Fcund. VICTORIA, B. C., Oct. 1.—A dispatch from Extension, B. C., says fire broke out at the bottom of the level and was communicated across the stope by one of the curtains and in half an hour the whole stope was on fire. Rescue parties entered the mine and reached the place where the miners had been at work, but the men had gone, running with the fresh air instead of against it, in an attempt to get out by the accustomed route, thus meeting death half way. While the res- cuers were at work the mine exploded, blocking them, and explosions occurred all the afternoon and evening. When it was realized that the men could not be saved, a strong force started to choke tie mine, but their work was undone by a terrific explosion which blew down the barricade. At 5 o'clock the fan house burned. Here is a corrected list of the dead from Extension at 1:30 a. m.; George South- comb, timberman, married, with family, resided at Ladysmith, about 26 years of age, a native of Australia; Eugene Grif- fin, timberman, married, family reside at Ladysmith; Welsh, manager of the Lady- smith Baseball Club; John Patterson, miner, married, aged 42, resided at Lady- smith; ‘James Watson, miner, aged 30, married, family resided at Ladysmith; Michael Dolan, miner, aged 25, married, with family residing at Ladysmith, son of a weil-known farmer of Nanalmo dis- 8 exclusively announced in last Sunday’s Call, E. H. A Harriman is now president of the Southern Pacific Company. The official circular, signed by Harriman, was issued yesterday, and in it the new railroad president states that Julius Kruttschnitt is appointed as his assistant. All the prominent officials in the railroad building were notified last Saturday . that Harriman had ap- but it was not until 4 o’clock yester- day afternoon that the small white slip of paper was handed out officially notifying the public that the Souta- ern Pacific Company had passed an- other landmark in its history. Harriman's official announcement, which was distributed from the office of Vice President Kruttschnitt, reads: SOUTHERN PACIFIC COMPANY. Office of the President. NEW YORK, October 1, 1801. Mr, J. Kruttschnitt 1s hereby appointed as- sistant to president, with such powers and dutles, in addition to those: pertaining to his present office of fourth vice president and gen- eral manager, as may be prescribed from:time to time. All officers heretofore reporting to the presi- dent will hereafter report to him. E. H. HARRIMAN, President. The Southern Pacific Company starts on a new era to-day. KEastern capital owns the road and will direct its policy. Julius Kruttschnitt will report daily the earnings of the road and how the vast workings of the corporation are pro- gressing. In the inauguration of the new administration to-day, no special in- cidents are looked for. There will be no reception by our prominent merchants— trict; William Pollock, miner, aged 27,|no addresses of congratulation, such as single, resided at Extension; E.

Hays, instead of reaching the office in the tall yellow bullding at 9 o’clock, will rus- ticate for several weeks in the country, and Kruttschnitt will use every effort to show that the confidence reposed in him was well placed. In a few months Hays will return East and again take up the fight, using his brains to amass more cap- ital for capitalists. Kruttschnitt will oc- cupy the spacious and handsomely fur- nished offices vacated by Hays. So the world goes. ‘“The king is dead, long live the king.” ~ ‘With the passing of President Hays &oes E.

Fillmore recently left for New York, and it is generally conceded that he went with the avowed purpose of en- deavoring to secure reinstatement. J. M. Herbert, however, has a strong, though freshly formed, friend in Jullus Krutt- schnitt. Herbert has made a splendid record the short time he has been here, and it is well known that Kruttschnitt will ask that he remain undisturbed in his worlk. Huntington Denies Report. All reports to the effect that H. E. Huntington will again hand in the affairs of the Southern Pa. cific Company are erroneous. Mr. Hunt- ington arrived from New York yesterday, accompanied by his mother and sister. 0Old rallroad officlals pointed significantly to the fact that Huntington was coming hére just at the time when Hays was stepping out and that he might again take offices in the rallroad building and preside over the company’s local affairs. The first words of Huntington's interview to a Call reporter yesterday afternoon dispelled these rumors, however. He said: 1 have come out here to inspect my many in- terests in California. I am not s0ing to take any active interest in the management of the road, as I have not the time. My present duties are very heavy and I have not nor will I have in the future any other connection with the Southern Pacific Company than what de- volves upon me as vice president of the com- pany. Continui . mgton said that he to remain in California two months. During that time he would visit Los Angeles. He explained that vast im- provements were to be made in the elec- tric street car lines in that ¢ity and that a new line to San Pedro and a new line to Pasadena, which would include a branch line to San Gabriel, will be built. May Sell the System. Regarding the rumor that the Market- street Railway Company was negotiating with Eastern capitalists for the sale of the road Huntington was very guarded. He said that Eastern capitalists had of- fered to buy the road, but that an agree- ment could not be made in regard to the price. He said that ultimately a price might be agreed upon, and yet nothing might result from the negotiations. Huntington confirmed’ the story to the effect that the Pacific Improvement Com- pany had sol] out its entire holdings in the Mexican International Rallway to th Speyers of New York, take an active | States, in view of the general intentio reduce the military force within the next year. If more men are needed. however, President Roosevelt will undoubtediv send them. There will be no hesitatimn about it. It was pointed out to-day that up to this time the military in the Philippines has done nothing to suppress the insur- rection in Samar. It has only garrisoned strategic points. The Spaniards hever succeeded in establish®ng order in_the terior of the island. When in possesSmar they merely devoted themselves to hoia- ing ports. Officers Probably Perished. The general bellef prevafls at the Was Department that the three officers of the company—Captain T. W. Connell, Firs: Lieutenant E. A. Bumpas and Surgepn Griswold, were killed in the engagerient The opinion was expressed by many ficers on duty in-Washington that ha they been in command of a comp which suffered such a terrible disast they would have preferred death to undergoing an investigation. An of ficer’s highest duty is to his men, and : he were criminally nesiigent and a < i prise occurred as a result of it under the articles of war he may be Officials of the department are mnot in- clined to pass judgment upon Captainm Connell's conduct until they are acquain:- ed with all the facts. Casualty Lists Demanded. tives and friends of the men of Company C, General Chaffee was directed to-day to cable a list of the casualties. This is the first occasion for months that the department will receiva a cablegram containing the names of of- ficers and men killed and wounded. Os- tensibly to save expense, Secretary Roos ordered listsof casualties malled. A rumor has been curfént about the War Depart- ment that the real reason was to support the theory that the Philippines were p fied by not listing each day several e ualties which had occurred the day pi vious. Friends of the men killed 1l wounded have complained at their s ure to promptly receive advices conc r_ul‘i ing the injurles suffered by those I whom they are interested. f1t is likely as a result of the Samar sofe recting that hereafter a list of all cas- catastrophe that orders will be issued di- fiue- be cabled to Washingtom. ol
