Explosion in q Mine.

WILKEsBARRE, Pa, Sept. pa terrible
explosion Of gas took place in the Murray
shaft of the Lehigh and Wllkesbarre Coal
company this afternoon. Ropes were
strung around the mouth of the shaft and
no one was allowed within twenty feet of
the opening, as it is feared a second explo-
sion may take place at any time. There
were five men in the shaft at the time Of
the explosion. Their names are Lawrence
Casey. James Sullivan, James Boswell,
fireboss; Edward Bulson and Anthony
Jennings. This shaft is considered one
Of the easiest in the world. The origin of
the explosion is unknown. Hundreds of
people were gathered around anxiousIy
awaiting the results of the rescuing party,
which went down the shaft as soon as it
wa safe to do so. The party consisted Of
Superintendent Scott, Foreman James
Ford, Morgan Morgans and Mine Inspector
Williams. They returned after IN hours
search and reported that all were dead ex-
cept Edward Bulson, who was seriously
burned. Later on the dead were brought
from the pit to the surface, a distance of
800 feet, and taken to their late homes.

The Reason for O'Brien's Arrest.
LONDON, Sept. 18.-There was no abate-
ment of interest throughout the day in the
Irish arrests. UP tot o'clock this even
ing no definite information had been
received at London of the specific utter
ances Of Dillon and O'Brien, ON which
the warrants for their arrests were based.
Neither mad the government given out any
official explanation which would throw
any light upon their sudden and unex-
pected resort to a vigorous Irish policy.
1t is commonly supposed tonight that the
ostensible grounds for O'Brien's arrest are
to be found in the very plain speech that
he made last Sunday. On that day he adj
dressed an assemblage of peasants at a n
insignificant village named Schulz. He
dwelt upon the fact of the failure of the
crops and spoke of the gloomy outlook for
widespread distress which Ireland must
face this winter. Warming up to his
theme he said: "For tens of thousands of
small famers throughout Ireland it will
become a question this winter whether
they are to have food or their land
lords" confronted with such an. alternative
he thought there should be no %hesitancy as
to a choice. He advised the tenants on
every estate to meet and consult as to what
honestly pay. When that question had
been determined they should all abide by
the decision. If the farmers, he said, should
give to landlords money which was needed
to buy bread for their children, the Irish
leaders would not dare to appeal to the
world to come to the rescue of such a ma

MICHAEL DAvITT
was interviewed this afternoon in regard
to the arrests. He took a very hopeful
view of the situation and thought the effect
would be entirely favorable to the Irish
cause. eff Dillon and O'Brien," be said,
'had deliberately set out to devise plans
for increasing the popularity of the plapof
campaign and frightening the prestige of
the land league they could not have .ac.
successfully than by inducing Balfour,
chief secretary Of Ireland, to take precise
ly the step that he has taken of his own
volition. Il is just what they wanted.
There had begun to be a feeling in Ireland
that the plan of campaign had been car
ried far enough. These arrests will; be
used to arouse public sentiment in its Ia
vor again. Balfour has not made a greater
mistake since he has been in chief author
ity over Ireland. r.
