THE sALvATioN CONGRESS-
The Army Will Endeavor to Seonre Of
ficsrs of Higher Education.


NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-The second day
of the continental congress of the Saliva
tion Army began with council Of the
field and staff officers. The council was
held at the Lenox Lyceum and was at
tended by detachment commanders
from all sections Of the county, There
were no formal exercises. Shortly before
noon the assembly was sounded for the
midday rally at Union square.
The parade started at 1880 o'clock.
Those who were entitled to participate
in the procession were officers, and the
object of the parade was to show their
strength. The line of march was quite
short. After the parade second BAN
quet was held at the Lenox lyceum.
The principal subject discussed at the
officers council yesterday was the pro-
posed erection of immense Salvation
Army barracks in New York. The Off
GERS decided that suitable site for u
large building should be secured in this
city and home for the army put up.
Commander Booth said after the con-
ference that the army had discussed
plans for securing officers of higher
educational ability than the majority
now in charge He explained that here
tofore the army's work had principal y
been among the poor and lowly, but
that hereafter an attempt would be
made to interest the more educated
classes and secure recruits for the serv-
ice.
The dedication of the 3-weeks-old
daughter of Commander and Mrs. Bal
lington Booth to the cause of the Saliva
tion Army was the chief feature of the
congress in Carnegie hall last night. The
hall was crowded even more than on
the first night, and many hundreds were
turned away.

THE DANGERS OF MINING
Narrow Escape Of a Gang Of
Workmen Near Scranton.
NEARLY KILLED BY AFTERDAMP.

An Attempt to Subdue a Fierce I'm
Prostration of Two Gangs Of
Miners-Five May Die.
SCRANTON, Pa, Nov. 23. - Fierce
flames are raging in the workings of the
Holden eoliery at Taylor, five miles
from this city, which are so located as
to make it almost impossible to extin-
tinguish them in any other manner than
by flooding the mine. Last night a
force of workmen endeavored to reach
the blazing subterranean force, which is
1900 feet from the bottom of the shaft,
but the sitting afterdamp which filled
the gangway quickly overcame them
after they had passed the fresh airways,
and one by one the men fell in the gang
way
Several of them, realizing in time the
awful danger into which they were
treading, turned in time and succeeded
in getting to point where there was
fresh air, which enabled them to appre-
ciate the condition of those overcome
further in the gangway. Quickly sum
moning reseuing party and providing
themselves with the necessary safe
guards, they returned into the gangway
and fourteen Frustrated miners were car
ried out unconscious, and more dead
than alive. Those in the most serious
condition are David Davis, Benjamin
Taylor, John Edmunds, Thomas Morgan
and Jenkin Harris.
Then another force was formed, under
Superintendent Davies, to try and get
hose upon the fire, but rs they proceeded
they, too, were overcome by the poison
ous vapors, and it was only by having
men trailing behind that they We're en-
abled to have rescuers reach them. This
time Superintendent Davies, Thomas
Hughes. Carroll Fern, John Jeifers, John
McAndrew, Frederick Tinney, William
Dolan, David Evans, Michael Carroll,
Henry Lintholt, William Goodman. In
side Foreman Evans and Daniel Will
Jams were carried out so much overcome
that the physicians had to work more
than an hour upon them before they be-
came conscious.
Davis, Carroll, Fern, O'Hara and
Jeffers are in a miserable condition, and
recovery is doubtful.
This is the first instance of suffocation
in the mines Of this section from this
cause since 1888, when twelve men were
killed at Monocaqua, near Shiekshinny.

The Governments Romanoing Agent

Has Myaterioualy Disappeared.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 23.-Nothiug has
been heard OF Ivan Petroff, the Russian
Alaskan expert who made false repre-
sentations to the state department, which
were embodied in the case of the gov
ernment Of the United States before the
Behring sea arbitrators, siuce the ex-
posure of his duplicity was made. He
has disappeared utterly, and one of his
friends has expressed the fear that he
has made away with himself. In the
early fall Petroff was with his family at
Hanover, Pa, and thence came to Balti-
more. Letters addressed to him there,
however, havo been returned unclaimed.
There is a wide misapprehenslon OF
the nature of the falsifications made by
PetroH in the Bering sea case, the gen
eral impression being that he furnished
wrong figures respecting the seal in
dustry. This was not the case. He was
not asked to give any figures. What
he did was to iuterpolate in translations
of certain Russian documents bearing on
the subject sentences not contained i'll
the originals and which tended to
strengthen the claims of the United
States government. In one case, it is
said, he fabricated letter entirely.
Petroff was in Washington week ago
last Friday, when he confessed his fabri-
cations to Secretary y State Foster, and
then disappeared. His census work. Mr..
Blodgett, who has been put in charge of
it, says cannot affect more than small
portion of the Alaska bulletin, even if it
should prove to be inaccurate, which had
not yet been done, however. There were
seven agents engaged in Alaska, and
PetroH was responsible for the statistics

Probably Compete Next Year.
NEW YoRK, Nov. 23.-The committee
of the New York Yacht club, after dis
cussing Lord Dunraven's letter, sent
him the following cable:
''f all reference to former and obso-
lete deeds is omitted, the proposition in
your letter of Nov. is satisfactory, and
we will recommend the New York
Yacht club to accept"
According to the terms of the letter,
and the acceptance of them in all but
one instance, it is evident that the New
York Yacht club is desirous of having a
race. The single point of difference is
in the question of the mutual consent"
clause, which is almost identical in the
three deeds of gift, and, therefore, when
all reference to the old deeds is stricken
out of Dunraven's letter, there is really
no change in it, the meaning being ex-
actly the same, with the dates of 1857
and 1889 left out.
From high source in the New York
Yacht club it is learned that Dunraven
has written letter privately to a friend
in this city. in which he has expressed
himself as being willing to accept the
conditions which the New York Yacht
club holds out.
There seems now to be no doubt but
that race will be sailed during the
summer of 1898. This is the conviction
of the committee of the Yew York
Yacht club, who have the matter in
hand,
