GRAFTON. w. Va. Jan. 21.-The most
disastrous mine explosion ever known in the
annals of West Virginia mining occurred at
Newburg this afternoon. in the shaft OF the
NewbuTg Orrel Coal company at that point.
The shaft is $50 feet deep. at the bottom of
which thirty-seven miners-men and boys
were at work in the different gangways
and chambers. At 2:45 p. IN, without a
moments warning. terrific explosion oc-
CURED, dealing death and destruction in its
vicinity. The shock of the explosion was
felt throughout the village. and at once
created panic among its citizens, especially
among those who had relatives employed in
the mine. \ large crowd Of people quickly
gathered around the mouth OF the shaft all
anxious 10 succOr the entOmbed men.
Several attempts were made 10 descend be-
fore successful entrance could be- made.
Finally Mr.. Riley Metz, accompanied by
two other miners, entered the shaft and
reached the heading, in which the explo-
sion took place, but were prevented from
going further by the debris, which choked
up the little drift. They were unable 10
discover anything but the shattered tim
beTs of the mine which were strewn in
every direction. Several subsequent at
tempts were fruitless. owing to the preva-
lence of black damp. which precluded the
possibility of working in the nine. The
following are the names Of the unfortunate
persons, whose fate is not known, and can
only be surmised:

F. 1t is feared that all of them were in
stantly killed or Suffocated. Efforts are
being made tonight To reach them. but il
is feared they cannot be reached before to-
morrow or later. The scenes about the shaft
and throughout the town in the homes of
the imprisoned miners are heartrending. IL
is the general opinion among experienced
miners that none of the men in the mine
could have survived such a terrible eXplo-
sion, and that they are all dead. There
are few who are hoping against hope that
some of them may still be alive and may
be rescued

The Views of Patrick Egan and Ex.
Congressman Finerty.


CHICAGO, Jan. 21.-Patrick Egan, presi-
dent of the Irish National league, was in
terviewed this afternoon regarding that
portion of the queens speech which touches
upon the Irish question.
Observation-Disclosures of that kind he said.
''mean nothing. 1t is always the rule in
royal speeches to utilize language that will
conceal ideas rather than express them. Her
majesty says nothing new. We all know of
her dislike to home rule movements. The
situation is such that. no matter what she
NAV say. parliament will be compelled TO deal
with the home rule question and grant il 10
ireland. Her reference TO coercion is also
vague, and will not lead to any material re
suits in Ireland. From experience we know
that pronunciamentos of that kind precede
surrender. We know that this, our national
movement, upholds the key 10 the position,
and we are ell quite confident as 10 The

''UnGer this menace said ex-Congressman
John Flnerty after the queens speech. 1.-The

GRUDGE AGAINST IRELAND
because Dublin refused site for statue of
her husband, the late Prince Albert, who
once said of Irish that they ought TO live on
grass, and deserved no more sympathy than
Poles. The speech seals the fate of the Sails
Dury ministry, and then should Mr.. Glad
stone, on returning 10 power, refuse TO meet
lrlsh demands in fair spirit, no course will
be left to ireland to obtain her rights but to
resort TO hrst principles-ln other words. she
will be compelled TO make physical sacrifices
that nave been made bv all other people in
similar circumstances. Whatever method
it will be is simply question of national re-
sources. If she cannot meet England inside
the rules of war, she will meet her outside of
these rules, ana she cannot be blamed if the
increasing brutality of England forces her TO
adopt system of warfare not laid down in
English military textbooks, but which are
nevertheless always practiced by English
armies when they invade the domains of weak
