MCALLIsTER, /. t., Jan. 9.-The re-

mine disaster is confirmed. 1t was an
explosion in shaft No. of the Usage
Coal and Mining company, at Krebs.
just before the day shift changed off
and came out of the mine for supper q
puff of smoke was seen to escape from
the mouth of the single shaft to the
mine, and Immediately following this
there was heard a terrific report, fol-
lowed by rumbling as if of rolling
thunder.
Six men who had already been hoisted
in the cage had just stepped on to the
platform at the side Of the shaft. The
cage was blown through the roof Of the
tower and fifry feet into the air. A
tongue of flame shot up the shaft and
above the ground fully 100 feet, fol-
lowed by a terrible report which was
heard for miles around and shook all the
neighboring country 30 violently that
people in the surrounding mining towns
four and five miles distant thought an
earthquake was rocking the ground
The men at the top of the shaft at
once sounded the alarm, and made prep
arations to send down rescuing party,
but found that the mouth of the shaft
had been completely closed up by the
debris. Relief parties began at once to
work on the debris.
A Mass OF MangIed Bodies.
At the time Of the explosion $50 men
were in the shaft, most of whom were
waiting for the men to take them out
and the foot of the shaft is one mass OF
dead bodies.

over a Hundred Dead.

From the facts now at hand it is be
heved that the killed will number fully
100 and the injured lis, about one-hali
of whom will probably die from the
effects of their Injuries.
Many of the men, some say nearly
half employed in the mine, succeeded ir
effecting their escape by climbing VI
through the air shaft. One of the men
who escaped in this way climbed fully
$50 feet with broken leg. Many oi
those who climbed to the top were badly
burned, in some cases the flesh stripping
from their hands as they grasped the
ladder. There were many sad scenes
witnessed as the bodies Of the dead were
brought to the surface. Wives and
children gathered around, weeping and
moaning; strong men turned away tc
hide the moisture that gathered in Their
eyes in spite of their utmost efforts tC
keep it back. 1t will DO fully week
before all the bodies of the entombed
can be reached and brought to the sur.
face.

hrmed by the Senate, after which the
President signed his commission, and
Mr.. Foster entered upon his duties.
The action of the Senate in confirm
ing Mr.. Foster almost Immediately up
on its reception and without reference
to the foreign relations committee is
almost without precedent, as hereto
fore it has been customary to reserve
this honor for Senator's in active SER
vice who are nominated for Office.
The nomination Of General Foster
as Secretary of State meets with gen
sral favor, and is everywhere accepted
as proper compliment to a deserving
Official. Mr.. Foster is particularly well
equipped for the Office his thorough
diplomatic knowledge and ability and
through his familiarity with the bust
ness of the department for the past
TWO Years. He was rendered the Office
a lew days ago, and hesitated to ac-
eept it because of the financial sacri-
nee that was entailed.
