snow-Coyered ground into an inkv de-
post. When this subsidized a portion Of
the fan house had been DESTROYED, as
well as the wood work in the shaft, go
that cages could not be used. Pull
leys and ropes were Immediately
prepared for the work of rescue. Two
men climbed by means of the cage wire

within leo teet OF the top. A rope was
then lowered and they reached the sur
face IN an exhausted condition. A
third, when fifty feet of the TOP fell to
the bottom of the shaft. A temporary

canada Willing to Make Concessions in
the Fisheries Dispute

OTTAWA, Ont, Jan. 24-It is semi-of-
hclally stated here that the home gov
ernment has urged the Dominion cabi-
net TO make such concessions on the
fisheries question as will bring about a
settlement. 1t is plainly intimated that
whilst the demands OF Canada
are admitted to be of import
ance they must not be allowed
TO prejudice the larger internation-
al interests involved. There are indica-
tons of yielding disposition ON the
part OF the Canadian government under
the unusual pressure from Downing
Street and the absolute certainty that the
Canadian terms would in any case be re-
fused by the American Congress. In of
hclal quarters the reports from Wash
lngton that the negotiations have broken
down are denied.
A Semi official announcement comes
from England that Joseph Chamberlain
Is likely to succeed Lord LansdCwne rs
governor-general of Canada 1t is rep
resented that in view of important ques-
tions which are likely to arise,
the British government desires to
have It's Canadian executive one who
not only can keep over-ambitious Cana
dlaus IN check, but who is conversant
with every phase of the social aud polit-
lcai condition of the country. 1t is
known that Lord Lansdowne is anxious
10 return to his Irish estates.

BURGLARS ~ A BLIZZARD.
Halifax Experiences Shower of Mishaps
and MisfoFtunes.

HALIFAX, y. S, Jan. 25.-Yesterday's
snow storm was one of the worst known
here for years. Railway travel is again
demoralized. The harbors of North
sydney, Digby, Yarmouth and Annapo-
lis are frozen solid for the first time il
years In the middle of the bowling
storm of Monday night the post
Office at Annapolis was entered by
burglars, the through mail bags from
Yarmouth for Haxi ak, from Halifax
for Yarmouth and others from St. Johns
were opened and all the registered let
ters and money packages stolen. As
large amounts of money are sent throuI
the mails by the Halifax and Yarmout
banks, sometimes as much as $1,000 IN
a package, it is belived that big
haul was made. Post-Office Inspector
Mcdonald started to investigate tue rob-
berry and is now showed up at Windsor
At midnight when the storm was at its
worst, the dwelling house Of Alexander
Beaton, prominent resident Of Bou-
landere, caught fire and in few min
utes was completely destroyed. Mr.
Beaton's wife and grand-child were
burned to death. The other inmates
barely escaped with their lives.

all of Brooklyn. Mr. Ziegler owned
nearly half of the stock, and
the Hoaglands held the remainder.
Last year the profits amounted to s225,-
600, of which Mr.. Ziegle1's share was
500, 600. But serious differences have
arisen between him aud his partners,
and he mas begun suit to secure an ac-
counting. The officers of the
company until recently were Jos.
c. Hoagland, president; Cornelius n
Hoagland, vice president; and Wm.
Ziegler secretary and treasurer Each
drew the nominal salary of $500. A
year ago Hoagland brothers offered to
buy Ziegler out but he refused to sell.
The brothers then combined and left
Ziegler out in the cold and raised their
own salaries to S25. 900 a year. Another
offer was then made 70 buy Zieg-
ler's stock; again he refused; again the
Hoagland's raised their own salaries, but
still Zlegler refuses to be frozen out
The brothers say they will increase their
salaries until the profits are wiped out
and ZIegler forced TO sell. The matter
has also been placed in the hands OF the
district attorney with the intent of
bringing criminal proceedings.

Every Thursday evening the men

according TO their plan, as soon as their
range was unpacked tonight, the forty
two prisoners were to overpower the
gnard, cut bis throat, and after locking
his dead body in cell, were to make a
bold dash for the main corridor and lib
ertv. 1t was expected that some of them
would be killed, but as nearly all of

to arm themselves with iron bars, clubs,
