ANOTHER MINE EXPLOSION.
This Time It Was in an English colliery.
Many Lives Lost.

LONDON, Dec. 14.-A fearful explos'
ion occurred today at Bamfurlong
Colliery, Wigen, and not less than
fifty lives were lost. The men went
to work as usual this morning, and
after the colliery had been inspected
the usual way men went to WORK,
They had not been at work long when
a terrible explosion shook the earth
for a great distance and cloud OF
smoke shot up through the shaft into
the air. Multitudes of people rushed
towards the mine and the
greatest excitement prevailed. 1t
was soon ascertained that a large
number were imprisoned, and the
wailing and weeping of women and
children made an indescribable sight.
Steps were Immediately taken to as.
certain the full extent of the disaster,
and crowd of volunteers promptly
offered to explore the pit. 1t is be.
lieved the explosion was caused by
accumulated coal gas which had es-
capped the notice of officials charged
with the inspection of I'll @ mine.
Later advices state the loss of life
may be less serious than at first re-
ported. The situation, however, is
critical. Hundreds of men remain in
the mine unable to get out owing to
the fire which followed the explosion
and which is raging fiercely in the
mine, making it difficult for rescuers
to get at the imprisoned men. Not
withstanding the fire and other OBJ
stacles the work of rescue is progress
sing and volunteer are not deferred
by danger or difficulties in their ef-
forts to save their fellow miners from
q terrible death. Hundreds of women
and children surround the
mouth of the. mine, waiting |
anxiOusly for news of fathers,
husbands, brothers and sons. Some
IF the women volunteered to assist in
The work of rescue but their assistance
was not required No efforts are being
'pared to put the fire out and bring
he men to the surface. Until this is
the loss of life will be
iitficult to estimate Twenty miners
rave been brought up by rescuers,
he remainder are still imprisoned.
The rescued men were in bad condi-
ion when brought up. AS each

Many of them will be rescued alive.

THE ADDRESS OF THE HoGG CAUCUS

fpE HDOHEoo VI TIVE HOVV SdVIOo
Elsewhere will be found the address
promulgated by committee of the
Hogg conference at Austin. The

of that gentleman's public record,
that Governor Hogg would at least be

by Messrs. Brown, Terrell, ct al. does
not cOmport with the position so

ity to the great trust reposed And
yet this is what this address means,
if it means anything, for it ssys: "Di-
vision means defeat, not in the nomi-
nation Of Clark, but in the selection
of some unknown man; and defeat
means the loss of the ground gained
by the persistent efforts of the last
twenty years"
What an assumption! What
story with which to 60 to the proud
and honest people of Texas Gov
ernor Hogg MAJ be all that is claim
ed for him, but there are hundreds of
other men in Texas just as goods as
he, just as honest, patriotic and
sincere in their devotion to the com
mission and the interests of the peo-
pie"
Governor Hogg is not all they
claim for for him neither is George
Clark the sianer they claim him to be.
The address says that Clark "declares
that if he is elected governor he will
recommend a change in the law in
such a manner as, in our opinion.
will adjust it to the interests of the rail
roads" This clause proves the truth
of the charge made in Otr< con
ference platform that che (Hogg) has
stirred up strife among the people, and
arayed class against class" and it is
proof positive that he intends to con.
tinueso to do, and intends to keep up
hostile war on capital in order that he
may retain the reigns of power. That
address in fact proves every allega-
ton in the Clark and elective commits
sion platform.
