THE STRIKE INAUGURATED.
Thousands of Miners In England Qui

Thousands of Miners In England Quit
| Work--Coal From Belgium.
| LONDON, March I2.-The great coal
| miners strike was inaugurated to-day. At
two this afternoon the men employed in
the mines at Lancashire, Cheshire and
iorkshirs stopped work. The only men
now are the surface men. bumpers, venti-
lators, attendants, ETC., who were not called
out. In Durham the mines are also COM
pletely stopped. The number OF miners
who have quit work at Nottingham is
10000. The coal stocks in the Bristol dis
tricts are nearly exhausted, and as result
of the strike in that district the price Of
coal has gone mp four shillings ton. Bel
gan shippers are sending coal and Thames
oolliers, carrying these consignments, are
expected to arrive Monday.
The coal porteis will attempt to prevent
the discharge of these cargoes and it 10
feared that this will lead to the renewal OF
the dock troubles. One of the results of
the split. which occurred among the north
Wales miners, is that the men working i'll
fllntshlre will not go on strike but will
work not moro than five days week.
Wooden barricados are being built arouud
the mouths of the various pits in Durham
and none of the miners will be allowed in
side Of these enclosures. 1t is believed
that at conference to be held Wednesday
be decided to limit the holiday to week
and to restrict the output during the sum
mer.
Many large industrial establishments in
the vicinity OF the collieries banked their
fires when the operatives left work. This
m cans that work will not be resumed Mon
day, the manufacturers refusing to pay tho
extraordinary prices now demanded for
coal. Delegates from all coliieries have de-
clded to submit to no reduction in wages.

Later Reports Confirm the. Horrible
Details Of the Belgian Mine
Calamity.
The Total Number of Victims IL
known to Be More
Than 200.
Most OF These Met Death by Fire-Othcrs
suffocated by No1ious Gases--
The Flames Raging.

FRussELs, March 12.-There has been
little abatement in the excitement about
Chhrleroi, near which place the appalling
explosion occurred in the Anderlus colliery
yesterday. The fire is still burning in the
lower gallery. Debris and the carcasses OF
forty horses block the approach to the gal
lery where the bodies are known to be. II
has been Ascertnined that 80 persons were
working in the mine at the time of the ex-
plosion. Moat Of them were at work in the
two galleries where the greatest damage
was done. Mining experts say that prob
ably every person working in the lower gal-
lerY must be dead. and few are expected to
be rescued from the upper gallery. which is
filled with deadly gases.
Thirty bodies have been recovered. Tho
fact that many women and children en-
ployed IN the mine met death by the explo-
sion will afford an almost unanswerable
argument for those opposed to female labor
in underground employment. The crowds
increased as the day wore on. The rescuers
came to the surface few at a time. bearing
one or two mangled forms. The scenes
usually incident to such disaster are re-
enacted with, if possible, more than the
usual intensity. The work Of the rescuers
ia greatly retarded by the noxious gases
still remaining in the mine. There is hardly
shadow of hope that any of the men who
were in the mine at the time of the explo-
sion are now alive.
The fire in the mine grows fiercer and
fercer Since two o'clock this morning the
heat has been 30 intense that it is i'm possi-
BILE for the rescuing parties to remain in the
pit. They have been compelled, for the
present. TO abandon all efforts to reach the
galleries. There is not the slightest doubt
but that everybody in the mine is dead.
At three O'Clock the flames burst from the
pits mouth, and illuminated the country
oil around. set fire to the engine house and
buildings. It has been decided
to food the mine. The total death roll is
215. Of whom ITO have been burned alive.
Great suffering among the families must
result. The government has ordered the
distribution Of relief

Choteau bounty Thieves Sent To the Deer
Lodge fenitontlnry,
At the last session of the district court in
Choteau county, which has just closed, the
fraudulent bounty eases received attention.
The River Press, referring to the matter,
says ''Thirty-tive indictments were found,
nearly every one being connected with the
crime of aefrauaing the state by means of
securing certificates for wolf and other
pelts for which the state allows a bounty.
Four have been tried, found guilty and
sentenced. They are j. NJ. Wilson, Ed
Burke Peter Deyaney and James Nj. Ar
neaux. The latter gets ono year in accord
nnce with the findings of the jury. John
nj. Wilson was given two years and Ed
mund t. Burke four years. Peter Devaney
was sentenced for one year. Deva-
noy, it is claimed. WAS drunk at the
time he committed the otfense
and assisted hut once in the fraud rs an

him. Ihe cases of Sam Dunbar, John r.
Murphy and Nj. 5. Richards go over until
next term of court. We understand that
the intention is to use Murphy to convict
others before finally giving him his dose,
which will surely come. He is the princir
pal witness and his testimony is essential.
There are thirteen indictments against
Murphy. and his bail is placed at $3.50
which has not as yet been furnished.
