Every effort is being made " ” to get to the men who are entombed, but there is little hope that any of them are alive. At -the time of the explosion there were about 200 men In the shaft and there Is grave apprehension that a great many of them were killed when ihe explosion occurred. A list of the dead Is now being compiled and will . Include at least the number mentioned. Organized efforts are being made to get to the men in the mine and volun teers arc plentiful. Tho scene about the mine is a pathetic one. men. women and children crying for their dear ones rui^l imploring those on the ground to go to their rescue. The Stewart mine Is a shaft 566 . feet deep. The development is the Scwall Seam, which ranges in thick ness from 4 to 5 feet. The mine Is located on the White Oak Fuel Com pany’s private line, connecting with the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad at Carlisle. It is located about four miles from Fayetteville and seven miles from Thurmon. The mine has been in oper ation for about throe years or more.but ! has not been fully- developed. The work of development has almost entire- i ]y been done in the double entry sys tem. The permanent structures, such I as hpnd house- and tipples have been . o.-’fdoled within the last y.-nr. The manager of the mine Is S. F. Dixon. The mine Is owned by the Stewart Colliery Company. No One Can Be Rescued Alive. Later advices state that there is no chance that any of the men will be taken out alive, for it is thought that the terrific force of the explosion snuffed out their lives instantly. It will not he possible for the rescuers to reach Ihe bottom of the shaft for for ty-eight hours. Many of the men ware Americans and many of them were married and had large families. There were a dozen colored men and fifteen or more foreigners. The rescue work was begun as soon as the wrecked parts of the shaft house could be re paired. About two hours after the ex plosion, three men were lowered into the shaft. Before descending sixty feet two of the men were overcome with foul air and the third was barely able to give the signal to his com rades at the top. AI! further attempts were abandoned for the time. Air was supplied to the mine by several large fans, but tho mechanism was damaged and the fans were idle for about two hours. The fans were then started again and if the men were not all killed by the force of the explosion it may be that they will have air enough to survive until the rescuers reach them. Smoke and dust poured into the air shaft for hundreds of feet from the Ventilating compartment hefore it was wrecked. 1; is stated that nearly ali the men were at work in the entries near the bottom of the shaft. The mine was haivng a good run and in consequence most of the men were a: work. No official announcement of the disaster o:- its cause has yet been made by the officers of the company. the loss would reach probably $1,000, 000, fully covered by insurance. The 1.000 men employed in the burning building, he said, would be immediately put to work in other departments. The fire, he added, would not greatly hinder work, as the departments de stroyed are duplicated in other parts of the plant.

This meant, he contended, that we should embark in a wisely con ceived sfherAo of internal improve ments, commerce such as our fathers contemplated before the era of rail road construction began, and thus in a most natural and efficient manner to relieve this congestion of traffic and af ford ample convenience for its move ment. ; Northern Pacific Railway Company, I and asked him if something could not ; be done to relieve the situation.

Lee gave orders to respect and I protect the property of non-combat- aants. I rode up to a little store and purchased two cakes of soap. Brode being a careful, painstaking member of my mess, I gave him tlje soap to take care of. “Well, we went into the artillery duel at Gettysburg. After having fired away all our ammunition we were ordered off the field. “After retiring behind a hill to re plenish our ammunition. I missed Brode. Fearing he was killed wounded. I rode back on the field. At this moment General Pickett was mak ing his famous -charge just to the right of our late position. I met Brode walk ing quietly to the rear. I said to him: “ ‘Fred, why did you not retire along with your detachment?’ “ ’Why. John, don’t you remember giving me two cakes of soap to take care of. Well, when we were ordered off the field I forget my haversack, in which were the two cakes of soap, and 1 went back after that soap. You know, John, soap is soap in these times.’ replied Brcde. “Duty was more to this man than life, which he willingly risked to save two cakes of soap entrusted to his care.” WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—Answering a call from W.

The atmosphere grew stifling, sulphurous, dea.d. But soon this ominous hush was broken by the rush of furious, parch ing blasts of fiery wind. It was as if the gates of hell had swung abroad. Clouds of hot sand lashed the travelers as with whips. It swirled about them like the blizzard snows, cutting their flesh"until they could not face its force. Through the greaswood and the cacti the wind rushed, screaming, and sought to tear them from their roots or nile them deep in sand.

According to State Geologist Clarke, the Hudson river region of New York may experience a seismic disturbance similar to that whicli damaged Kingston, Jamaica, on Monday. We are not accustomed,” said Clarke yesterday, “to think of -this part of the earth as very old and very stable, but the earth door is still in highly Imperfect ad justment. and while the Mohawk carries its annual heavy load of debris into the Hudson and the Hudson shifts it on to tl-e seaboard, the very transference of such a load changes the stresses on the earth floor, which may ultimately be re lieved only by a readjustment of the rook blocks. ' “This readjustment goes on quietly by the displacement of small blocks or sud denly by the movement of a large one. but that it is actually in progress right here may be seen at a number of places along tlie Hudson valley, where the soil has been disturbed by the recent move ment of the rocks beneath.” Tlie joints and fault nlanes which in tersect all this region from the Hudson valley east. west, north and south are old wounds in the rock oru«t. which have never b^-on and never will be healed until t:.e earth ha? shrunken to a dead planet and all the rivers have run dry. The most violent and destructive earth quake that has ever occurred in America since the coming of the white man was duo to the displacement along such a weakness line running up the St. Law rence valley and down Lake Champlain.

But now comes the monthly Consular Report for January, 1907. bearlnc of ficial testimony to the fact that, in Germany: “The state railroads in the coal regions are far front being able to" cope with the traffic requirement?, and in the Essen district a shortage of coal cars result? in preventing from ■ 35,000 to 50,000 Otons of coal from reaching the customers.” It should he remembered too the.t in Germany the great bulk of the coal and other low- grade traffic moves only a very sm::!I fraction of the aggregate. What they I would do if they were required to carry I th<* heavy proportion g.rinsr to American j railways is an interesting question.
