ONLY A POCKET.

AS Yet the Rescuers Have Not Reachsd
tho Hin Farm Mine.
DUNBAR, Pa, June 30.--Friday night
was truly night of excitement. This
morning all is gloom again; gloomier, if
possible than since the disaster occurred.
The detail Of inspectors and diggers
who entered the mine early Saturday
Znorning prepared to battle with death
itseif in their effort to break the barrier
between them and the interior of the
Hill Farm mine, reported that it was a
mere pocket that the drill had pushed
into in advance of the digging. They
are not inside Of the Hill Farm mine.
An entrance to the small cavern was
easily effected; nothing, however, but
solid walls Of coal surrounded them.
The rescuers are visibly dishearted, but
resolutely set to work digging into the
solid coal. They say that the the maps
Of the mines are certainly wrong, and
that they can form no opinion where
they are going. They are now thirty
five feet between the property lines, and
should have been within the mine as
many hours ago.
Secretary Watchorn, who has hitherto
been one of the most sanguine Of the
rescuers, is disheartened. He says that
he has now lost ali hope of rescuing the
entombed men. He says that the men
have doubtless either been roasted alive
or are by this time rotten. The flames
continue to issue from the entrance to
the Hill Farm mine with terrible fury
The tongues Of fire reach nearly hun
dEad feet in the air, while the sun is
obscured by the measureless volumes Of
smoke.

Nashville's supply Suddenly Stopped on

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 30.-There
was a considerable panic all over the
city Friday through fears of water
famine. None Of the higher portions OF
the city have had any water since the
night Of the 21st, when the old water
works were disabled. Thursday it was
found that Joint in the suction pipe al
the new station had become loose. and
that more air than water was being
pumped. Thursday night it was de-
cided to shut down, so that the pipe
could be frightened. The work was nos
done as quickly as was expected, and
consequently the supply Of water gave
out about $50 Friday. lE
Nobody was prepared for the emer-
gency. and all over the city suffering re-
suited Every factory In the city was
compelled to shut down. elevators
stopped running, and the great. engines
of the United electric railway plant
ceased tomove Over sixty electric cars
were left standingin the streets, and the
sweltering public had to foot it. None
of the fire engine houses had enough
water to get up steam, and fire in a
closely settled portion of the city would
have resulted disastrously.
The citizens generally were also
greatly inconvenienced, and enterprising
men and boys did land Office business
hauling water from the river. 1t was
nearly noon when the engines were again
put to work and the pipes filed.

Opinion of the Officers of the New Cruiser
Philadelphia.
New York, June 30.-One of the Off
GERS, who was on the trial of the Phila-
delphia was asked what he thought the
vessel had really accomplished. He
said, II think that the Philadelphia has
proven herself the fastest war vessel
afioat."
The engineer officers on board the
Philadelphia are said to be Of the opinion
that her engines are too powerful for
the hull. At one time during her great
est speed on the trial trip the engines
vibrated from one-eighth to one-quarter
of an inch. On her run down the coast
on Thursday morning experiments were
made with running under steam from
two boilers as to the consumption of
coal. 1t was found that with forced
draught it took only from one and half
TO two pounds of coal to produce one
horse power.
This was a most economical result.
During the trial trip the ship vibrated
SO that it was impossible to write ON
board. Every portion of her hull quiv-
cred. On the run down the Jersey
coast on Thursday experiments were
made with the steering gear. Under
the steam-steering gear she answered
her helm perfectly, and steered as easily
as yacht, but when it came to using
the hand-steering gear it took ten men
to put her helm over, and then they
could only get it over three points.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, June 30.-West Car

citing way. Darlington, mounted on
horse, reached here about daylight and
rested by the river side, waiting for the
ferryboat to carry him to the Kansas

boat only makes two trips day. Car

until he was surprised by the sheriff's

and hasty search for boats was made.

the water he grasped the animal by the

WORLDS FAIR woRRIMENT.
A Non-Politicel Move VIII Cause Much

A Non-Politicel Move VIII Cause Much
Pain to Many.
CHICAGO, June 30.-The old adage of
digging a pit and falling into it was
well exemplified Friday in the careless
action in the western and Pacific
coast combination in the National
committee of the worlds fair; the
committee on permanent organiza-
tion made partial report recon-
mending that president and five vice
presidents and secretary be partial
list of permanent officers of the National
committee, and that in the selection Of
the same they should be of alternate
politics. The National committee then
proceeded to elect president, which
they did in the selection of Thomas w,
Palmer, of Michigan. for that office.
He being Republican, they discover
ed after his installation that the first
vice president must be Democrat. The
western and Pacific caucus had decided
to put forward the Hon. M. H. DeYoung
as their candidate for the first vice presi-
dent, but he being a Republican, under
the rule that they had voted to adopt,
that became an impossibility.
A result of the above rule is that
there will only be two Republican vice
presidents-the second and the fourth
and there are~Now over fifteen candi-
dates for those two positions
One of the prominent names mem
toned in connection with the place is
Mr.. Jones, editor of The st. Louis Re-
public, thus making two prominent
newspaper men candidates for the same
position.
Mr.. DeYoung is very strong in the
main committee, having the support of
the western and Pacific coast caucus;
