PROBABLY the contest and most de-
sired official roostins place in the gift
OF the Government is occupied by ex-
Senator Blair, Minister to China. The
Chinese won't have him, and his own
countrymen don't want him back.
So he sits suspended between .you
shall' and "you shan't," and draws
his salary. 1, is better to be Minister
to China under such circumstances
than even to be chief crank of the
Senatorial menagerie.

BURKE, Idaho, Aug. 22.-Two hun

the mouth Of the lower tunnel of the
Black Bear mine, near here, yesterday,
with terrible effect. Four men were
imprisoned at the breast of the drift by
rock which caved in and were suffo-
Gated. The bodies of four other miners
are not yet found, but all hope of find
ing them alive has been given up. The
explosion was terrible, tearing up earth
and caving in the tunnel for distance
of 100 feet. A rescuing party recovered
the dead bodies of G.. McNeill, general
manager; John Jense, assistant mana
ger; Robert Blackburn and John Bur-
rows, miners. The four others missing,
it is feared, were blown to atoms.

MURDERER ALMY's PLEA
He Says "Not Guilty" of the Murder
Of ChristIe Warden.


HANOVER. N. H., Aug. 22.-The pre-
iiminary examination of Murderer Almy
was conducted by Police Judge Samuel
w. Cobb. Attorney General Barnard
and Solicitor Mitchell were among those
present. Almy, in reply to Attorney
General Barnard's questions as to how
he felt, said that he had not had any
sleep and had been in pain all night
The complaint of murder, which was in
customary form, signed by N. a. Frost,
was read to Almy as he lay on his cot.
When asked to plead he besitated and
said, II don't know what to do"
Turning to Sheriff Foster, a near
neighbor Of the Wardeps, with whom
he was well acquainted, he inquired;
"What would you do, HenryT
Foster replied, 81 don't know, Frank"
Attorney General Barnard then sug-
gested that it was always safe to plead
mot guilty" and in that way his plea
stands recorded. He waived examina-
ton and was committed without bail. 1t
was learned from the physicians that the
pain of. which Almy complained was
more from the apples of which he had
so ravenously ate and which tempted
him from his hiding place in Warden's
barn than from his wounds.

And When the IntericS Towns Are
Heard from There VIII BE Hun.
dreds More-The Roads Absolutely
Impassable-The Unfortunate In
hnbitants without Shelter.
PARIS, Aug. 90. - Additional details
eeceived here from St. Pierre, capital Of
the island of Martinique, which was
visited by terrible hurricane on last
Tuesday night, show that the facts
already published are not only in no
way exaggerated, but that they did not
tell the full story of tho disaster.
The number of dead was originally es-
timated at sixty, with hundreds of in
jured. The latest dispatches received
here announce that 2lS persons are found
to have been killed in the coast towns
alone, the towns in the interior not yet
having been heard from. There is no
doubt that the loss Of life in the interior
towns may have been as great, If not
greater than in the coast towns, so it is
impossible at present to make even an
estimate of the number of people who
lost their lives through the cyclonic dis
turbanco which brought so much ruin
and desolation to the unfortunate
island. Perhaps rough estimate Of 800
killed and 900 injured will cover the
ground. The wounded people received
their injuries from being hurt by falling
buildings or falling trees.
Roads Absolutely Impassable.
Official dispatches received here admit
that state of general CONSERVATION
exists throughout the island of Mar
Unique, ana when this is admitted in
official reports the real state of affairs
may be Imagined. The difficulty ex-
perienced in forming a correct estimate
as to the number Of persons who lost their
lives on Tuesday night is greatly due
to the fact that the roads leading into
and from the interior of the island have
been rendered absolutely impossible.
These roads are blocked in some cases
for several miles ly fallen trees and dis
placed earth and rocks. Several days
may elapse before the governor OF Mar
Unique is able to give the home govern
ment detailed account of the disaster.
Ii is known, however, that houses, crops
and trees from one end of Martinique 10
the other have been demolished or fiat
tened down beyond hope Of recovery.
The loss to the coffee and sugar planters
will he very great.
Only Four Houses Remain ut Ducos
At Ducos, it is now added, only four
houses remain standing out OF the
buildings which formed that little town
before the hurricane visited it. OF the
inhabitants of Ducos, eighteen have
been killed and a number are injured
more or less severely.
The troops at the disposal of the gov
ernor and a large body of volunteers are
busy at work in all directions, succoriny
the injured and burying the dead. The
physicians Of the island hardly had an
hours rest for tho first forty-eight hours
following tho hurricanes passage, and
citizens of all classes ere doing their ut
most to succor the sufferers, and to re-
pair, as far as possible, the damage
done.
Much suffering among the poor has
resulted from the damage done and its
attendant loss of life; in fact, it may be
said that the majority of the inhabi,
tAnts Of Martinique are practically with
ant any ghpltpF
