BRUSSELS, March l2-There is weeping
and waiting at the Anderlius colliery,
near Charleroi. Around the plymouth
are gathered hundreds of women and
children rend;ng the air with their des-
pairing cries, while down in the depths
of the mine over 200 men and women are
entombed. How many are dead is not
known for it has been impossible to pene-
trate the passage-ways, but if the list does
not reach 100 it will be miracle The
cause of all this was an explosion in the
second gallery, 500 feet from the surface.
II wrecked the shaft, tumbled the gallery
into ruins, choking it up with timbers and
debris, and of all the men and women at
work there but eighty have reached the sur
face, thirty of whom are dead and seven
wounded. Forty escaped through a sec
ond shaft.
HI ftfll OF Choht
The effect of the explosion was terrific.
The cage and the yentilatOr were shatter-
ed. The destruction of the ventilator adds
an element of great danger to the situa-
ton. The men, if any, who survive the
shock of the explosion are apt to meet
their death from the choke damp, rs with
the destruction of the yentiator it is i'm
possible to rid the mine Of the gases.
Of ha nh, A.
or brothers were in the mine are quite
frantic, and it has been found necessary TO
get their friends TO remove them from the
scene of the accident
The Perilous work of Rescuers.
Volunteers were let down three times
in a cage. When half way down on the
first trip the further caying of the shaft
frightened them and they returned. Five
Of the ten men refused to 60 down again,
as the mine was flooding rapidly, they
said, and the loosened sides of the shaft
threatened TO fall in and bury them. The
other five made the second trip and reached
the mouth of the second gallery. They
found few men who We're nearest the
shaft when the first explosion occurred.
Had tn Leave Them to Die.
All had broken bones and three We're so
firmly lodged in the wreck that the rescu-
ing party dare not wait to eXtricate them.
Five Of the wounded were brought up on
the second trip and two others and five
dead were brought up on the third. The
rescued men said that twenty-five of the
miners imprisoned are women. 1t is
thought that those nearest the first cave
in in the gallery may be rescued alive
Those furthest from the entrance of tho
gallery have probably been suffocated be-
fore this and if not, will die before they
can be reached.
Twenty-Five COrpses Found.
Late last evening another rescue party
descended to the scene of the explosion in
the mine. They cleared away the debris
at the entrance of the gallery and found
twenty-five bodies, five of them women
Most of the bodies were terribly mutilated.
Others showed but few fractures of the
limbs; death had been caused apparently
by suffocation. The rescue party returned
and are still at work in the gallery.

The Sort of Democratic Convention II all
Dougherty Wants.


WASHINGTON, March 12.-Mr Daniel
Dougherty, of New York, the eloquent
friend of Cleveland, has written letter to
Senator Brice, the chairman Of the Demo-
cratic national committee, protesting
against the construction of large hall in
Chicago for the accommodation of the
national Democratic convention. He
urges that a large hall merely furnishes
accommodation for the friends of candi
dates who are interested in influencing the
action of the conventions; that the audi
ence assembled may entirely misrepresent
the sentiment of the country, but by
demonstrations of enthusiasm may de-
ceive and influence the Judgment of the
delegates. He thiT ks that the convention
should be considered as committee and
that no extraordinary accommodation
should be provided for the public.

SYMPATHY FoR MRS. OSBORNE.
A Strong Movement Organizing to Secure
Her Pardon.

Her Pardon.
LONDON, March 12.-The sympathy for
Mrs. Osborne is spreading, and monster
meeting will shortly be held to petition
the government for her release. A peculiar
feature of the agitation is that, although
Mrs. Osborne and all her connections are
British, the Irish newspapers of all parties
are taking the lead in the plea for mercy.
The Irish Times, The National Press and
The Dublin Express, are heading the
movement in behalf of pardon.
Something Wrong with the Law.
1t is argued in Mrs. Osbornes behalf
that many ruffian has received SEN
tence far less severe for beating his wife to
death. There is reason to believe that a
petition which should be SO general as to
show a practical unanimity of public
sentiment would have favorable recep-
tion. One of the strongest reasons pre-
scented in behalf of mercy is Captain
Osborne's noble conduct, and the general
