The Work of the Rescuers at Dunbar, Pa.
Another Fall of Rock.
DUNBAR, Pa, June 20.-The village is
crowded with visitors Excitement in
creases as the hours pass, and will prob
ably remain at fever heat until the fate
of the imprisoned miners is fully deter
mined. The work of the rescuing party
was again retarded at o'clock Thurs
day morning. just as the shifts of men
were changing, and while the place
where the men had been working
throughout the night was for few mo-
ments unoccupied, the roof fell in with
a crash Hundreds of tons of slate fell
down, filling up the entry that two days
labor has been spent in opening. The
escape of the workmen Is miraculous.
A new survey of the mines was made
Wednesday night, as far as it was posi-
Jle to 60. The engineer has not yet
made his report of calculations. State
ments from men who were with him
show that the rescuing party was much
farther away from the entombed miners
than was first thought. This report
has cast additional gloom over the vii
lage.
The mine is now well supplied with
air, and if yet alive, as is hoped. and the
men can endure the pangs of hunger,
they will yet be saved. They are now
since Monday noon without food or
light. 1t was stated Thursday that it
would require two or three days hard
work to reach the place where it is ex-
pected that the miners will be found.

Grand banks. Collector of the port,
Hirst, boarded the vessel and demanded
lighthouse dues of $16. AS all seven of
the lighthouses ON the coast are erected

thorities have never put up single
lighthouse ON the French shore, Capt.
George Mclean, master of the schooner,
refused to pay, The collector threat
ened to seize the vessel, and the dues
were then paid over after formal pro-
test.
The collector next notified Capt. Nc
Lean not to buy bait until he had pro-
cured license under the new bait act.
This would cost $65. He threatened
seizure if Capt. Mclean tried to evade
the law. Mclean claimed the right un-
der the treaty of 1918 to get bait on the
French shore, and denied the power of
the local government of Newfoundland
to obstruct the operation. of the treaty
made between Great Britain and the
United States. He reminded the col
lector that the entire fleet Of American
vessels got their bait here without OBJ
struction four weeks ago.
The collector was still obdurate and
the captain sent the following telegram
to Sir William Whiteway, the premier,

The answer which came after long
delay from the attorney general at st.

Capt. Mclean would not yield what
he believed to be his rights as an Amer

NEW York, June 2O.-A section of a
bridge leading from the sea wall in

drowning people They were all resued,
however, without serious injury as far
as known. 1t is impossible to tell

on the bridge were drowned. At late

ST. PAUL, June 20.--The intense

which shall show up the largest in
Robert p Porter's computation Of the
census returns, eliminated in the arrest
of seven of the men who have been en-
gagged in the counting oe poses in Mime
apolis. They are charged with making
false returns to swell the population of
the Mill City to size in keeping with
its ambition. The charges are made by
C. e. Marvin, president of the st. Paul
Industrial union; Capt Henry A. Castle
and William Pitt Murray, and are
backed by affidavits and other proof
that are thought to constitute good
ground for the action.
Beating the Bushes for People.
1t had been charged several days ago
that Supervisor Davenport was illegally
enumerating people IN minneapolis, and
that the general methods used by him
and his subordinates were Objectionable
Dispatches had been received from Du-
luth that Minneapolis emissaries had
been within twenty-five miles of that
city looking up names for the rolls. In
quiry was said to have been made at
every house for members of the family
who had ever made Minneapolis their
home. Several families who had re-
moved from Minneapolis within the last
nine months were traced up and their
names, ages and occupations carefully
recorded.
Even Counted in the Cattle.
At one of the houses the enumerator
stated that he was in the government
service, but for all extra work, such as
his trip out of the city, he received pay
from local associations. There were re-
ports, also, that the enumerators had
been induced to take the names of dogs
and horses, as was done five years ago
in both cities, the owners surname be-
ing affixed and the occupation, age and
nationality in such cases being put down
with impressive detail. Messrs. Marvin,
Castle and Murray made a personal in
vestigation of the work of the enumera-
tors in Minneapolis, and, satisfying
themselves that there was underhand
work going on, proceeded to Washing
ton City and registered formal protest
with Superintendent Porter.
GobbIed the Crooked Counters.
They produced their proofs of fraud
and Superintendent Porter at once dis
patched Special Agent Mason, of the
census bureau, toseMinneapolis to watch
the enumerators' methods. United
States Marshal Daggett and Agent Ma
son proceeded to Minneapolis and ar
rested Orrin Plumber, Benjamin Aaron,
Ed. Jones, Charles Knapp, Louis Hega-
non and w. J. Wood. The prisoners
were brought to st. Paul and arraigned
before United States Commissioners Nc
Cafferty, all pleading not guilty. They
were released on bonds of $500 each to
appear for examination. The arrests
and the charges of fraud have created
intense excitement, and it is not improb-
able a recount will be ordered.

ORIGINATED WITH ENGLAND.

The Idea of Ceding Heligoland to Ger
.many-Germans Happy.
LONDON, June 20.-The Telegrapha
Berlin correspondent says: "The idea
of ceding Heligoland to Germany was
entirely England's, and the spontaneity
of the offer gave Kaiser Wilhelm much
pleasure, The colonial party is indig-
nant and disappointed, but the leaders
of the National Liberals and majority
of the reichstag indorse the agreement
fully. The cession of Heligoland has
fiattered the National pride. The Vos-
siche Zeitung, The Tagblatt and The
Doersen Courier all express congratula-
tions upon the success of the kaiser and
the government, and the financial world
is delighted"
The Berlin correspondent of The
Times in dispatch to that paper, says
"It would be an international misfor-
tune should the rejection by the British
parliament of the bill providing for the
cession of Heligoland to Germany in re-
turn for African territorial concessions
made by the latter country result in
changing the current of German graft
tude to England into a less friendly feel
luR. ne 0eTUlAllS are 6ICDuSlHSClC over
the satisfactory outcome of the negotia-
tions with England on the question Of
the African territorial rights of the
two countries"
No Let Up.
The Chronicle continues its attack
upon Lord Salisbury's agreement with
Germany with unabated violence, and
frantically calls upon the parties of the
opposition in parliament to combine and
secure its rejection. In the premiers
humiliating surrender to Germany, The
Chronicle foresees the certain defeat of
the ministry and dissolution of paElia-
ment, and predicts that the verdict of
the appeal to the country will be so
sweeping condemnation Of the agree
ment as to defer future governments
from trifing with the prestige and
honor of Great Britain and recklessly
throwing away her territory.
The Chronicle protests against Lord
Salisbury going out of the way to enlarge
the territory of Germany when there is
the utmost necessity, on account of New
foundland, to cultivate the friendliness
Of France. 1t thinks the government
blunder has brought us within measur-
able dissolution. If the Heligoland bill
is rejected the ministers will be bound
to an appeal to the country.
