Serious Mining Disasters.

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. l9.-Dispatches
Just received here state that terrible dyps.
mite explosion has occurred in the Pleip-
chin mine In Siberia. The accounts are
conflicting as regards the number of persons
killed, some placing 1t at 400, while Others
place it as high as 1000.
WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Dec. l9.-Ths out
look at No. stope this morning Is frightful.
Mine Inspector Williams says that if the
men can be reached in eighteen hours they
will be found alive, as total exhaustion will
not occur before then. The chance of res.
cue this morning was very slim, from the
fact that the air circle had been broken.
This was ascertalned hy the second rescuing
party working at the opposite end from the
first party In stope No. /. Superintendent
Morgan finds that there are OF feet Of quick
sand and earth TO be dug away. This is
wedged In between the mine timbers which
have sprung inward and crossed, presenting
an almost insurmountable barrier. Sixteen
English, Irish and WEIGH and thirteen Po.
landers and Huhgarians are now known TO
be entombed In the chamber of death.
WILKEsBARRK, Dec. PIP m.-There
was no rest for Nanticoke last night. 1t is
impossible TO describe in words the conster-
nation, dismay and agony which spread
throughout the village when it was learned
after midnight that all efforts to get the
entombed miners out alive bad been aban-
doned. The town never saw such sight
as that witnessed from 2 to o'clock this
morning. No one thought of rest. The
whole population was on the streets discuss
ing in the widest manner the decision TO
abandon all efforts at rescue.
Explanations Of despair, cries Of agony,
and mutterings of discontinue were heard on
every corner and In almost every household.
Relatives Of the unfortunate victims were In
the widest agony Of despair. Several we're
seizad with commissions. Fannie Sarver,
sister Of the two Sarver brothers, was pros
trated with violent fits, and al 5 O'Clock q. m.
it was feared she would die. Mrs. Kiveler,
the aged mother of the three Kiveler broth
ers, was at deaths door from weakI ess and
the shock, and many other relatives and
friends of the victims were completely pros
trated. The officials in charge Of the rescue
party were forced to abandon all work from
the air shafts by several irresistible conclu-
sions. Investigations at an early hour this
morning showed that sand, rock and culm
| had fallen to such an extent that the mine
In which were the imprisoned miners was
filed to the roof and that the men were dead
and beyond all human aid.
The officials of the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre coal companies are going to sink
shaft directly over the stope where the
imprisoned miners are supposed to be. 1t
is thought by doing this they can reach the
victims In about four days:

WASHINGTON NOTES.
Executive Business-The Presidential Success
sion Bill.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-Since the present
session of Congress began 1928 bills aud joint
resolutions have been introduced IN the SEN
ate, seventy-one Of which originated in the
House and been passed by that body; l,247
Executive messages, containing about 1000
nominations, have been sent by the Presi-
dent to the Senate, and have been referred
to the proper committees, but no nomina-
tions have been confirmed. Two treaties,
one relating 10 the boundary line between
this country aud Mexico, and the other pro-
viding for the settlement Of the claims Of
certain American citizens against Venezuels,
has been sent to the Senate for ratification.
Twenty -four bills and joint resolutions have
been introduced In the House Of Represent.
atives, forty-two Of which originated In the
Senate, and been passed.
THE PRESIDENTIAL SUCCESSION BILL.
An effort will be made Ia the House to
secure the passage Of the Presidential sue
cession bill, under suspension Of the rules.
The result Is doubtful, As the motion will
not be In order until after the call Of the
States for the introduction Of bills and joint
resolutions shall have been completed, and,
as the members have their desks full Of bills
TO be introduced, the call Is likely TO con
sumo the entire day. The succession bill
may be considered by unanimous consent,
but this Is not probable, as an opinion Is
entertained by many Representatives that
the mo asure oncht to go regularly to the
committee before receiving consideration In
the House. II Is not likely that any Of the
committees Of the House, excepting that on
accounts, will be announced until after the
Holiday recess.

Great Men "Nipped in the Bud.

NEW YORK, Dec. Is. -Justus Schwab said
to q reporter this evening: ~ assure you,

clude them from the universal brotherhood

Looking ut them from the standpoint of
European civilization, the Chinese are slaves
who can never be elevated to the Caucasian
standard. lament tina; the days Of chivalry
are past, and the spirit of the Paladins Is
dead. Here are four brave young men, in-
spired by the most humanitarian motives
undertaking to 'clean out the modern
Augean stable, and what thanks do they get ?
None; no skin of the Nemean Lion Is girded
round their shivering loins; they get no
reputation, create but . small-sized sensa-
ton, and then In the most unheroic manner
possible they are locked up, quite as though
they had INDUCED In an ordinary drunk.
American institutions and manners pre-
clude the production of great men. They
are nipped in the bud, and only mediocre
men prosper"

EARLY SPRING.


Once more the heavenly powers make all
things new,
And dome the red plowed hills
With loving blue.
The black birds have their wills;
The throsties, too.
Opens door in heaven from skies of glass ;
A Jacobs ladder falls
On greening grass;
And DER the mountain walls
Young angels pass.
Before them fleets the shower, and bursts
the buds,
And shine the level lands,
And flash the floods.
The stars are from their halls
Flung through the woods.
famed
Light airs from where the deep,
All down the sand,
Is breathing in his sleep,
Heard by the land.
o! follow, leaping blood, the seasons lure
o! heart, look down and up,
Serene, secure,
Warm as the crocus bud,
Like snow-drops pure.
Past future glympse and fade through some
slight spell,
A-gleam from yonder vale,-
| Some far blue BELL
And sympathies how frail,
| In sound and smell.
Till, at their chuckled note, thou twinkling
bird!
The fairy fancies range,
And, lightly stirred,
Ring little bells of change,
From word to word.
For now the heavenly power makes all
| things new,
| And thaws the cold, and fills
The flower with dew.
The blackbirds have their wills )
| The poets, too.
