Seven Arbitrators Asked For to settle tho
Sealing Trouble.

WAsHINGroN, Jan Sin diplomatic
circles the opinion prevails that the
hitch in the Behring sea negotiations at
present is, the change in the attitude
of the British government regarding
the mum Der of arbitrators. The original
proposition, to which the United States
assented, was that each country should
name n single arbitrator, and those
two should agree upon third. The
British government now asks that the
number be increased TO seven-the
United States TO name two. Great Britain
to name two and these four To- choose
three more. Some objection is being
raised by Secretary Blaine to- a change in
the original understanding, but if the
British government insist that there
shall be seven arbitrators. the United
States, it i thought will yield. Presi-
dent Harrison has been willing from
the first to submit the questions in dis
pute to any fair tribunal, and TO abide
by its decision. He would be quite
willing to leave the matter to the head
of some leading European country.

MINERS CAUGHT
By an Explosion in an Indian Ter

Ten Dead Bodies Hare Thus Far Been

SoUTH McALLIsTER. Ind Ter, Jan.
9.--The report OF "A mine disaster near
kreDs, Ind. Ter. is confirmed by dis
patches from there Friday morning.
Already ten bodies have been taken
out. Reports differ rs to the number
of men entombcd in the mine. but it is
believed that over $50 men were at work
when the explosion occurred. and ii
was feared that none of them are now
alive.
The day men had just changed off and
reached the surface. when puff of
smoke was seen to issue from the mouth
OF the shaft Immediately after this
came a terrific report which could be
heard some distance in the surrounding
country. The men who were around
the mouth of the shaft knew instinc-
lively what il meant and. Immediately
sounded an alarm. A throng gathered.
but there was nothing they could do to
rescue the unfortunates. trt retf
News of the disaster is coming in
very slowly. 1t is learned that at the
time of the explosion nearly $50 men
were in the shaft Most of them had
stopped work for the day. and were
waiting their turn to ride ont in the
N"1N- 'htF nav htAtktttu near tic
bottom of the shaft, and that locality
is completely damned with dead bod
les.
1t is stated that S. men succeeded in
reaching the open air by means of an
abandoned tunnel a bout 40 miners
were rescued by the lowering of buck
cts ut the hands of the rescuing party
outside the shaft At daylight Fri
day morning the ten dead bodies were
carried To the surface They were so
badly bruised and blackened as to be
scarcely recognizable.
The mouth of the pit is surrounded
by a crowd of men. women and chill
dren, nearly all OF whom have relatives
in the mine. Their grief is pitable and
their prayers and cries are agonizinr
as they beseech the rescuing party to
increase their efforts to save their loved
ones
or the cighty-fivc men who reached
safety by means of the old tunnel. over
half of them received injuries more or
less severe, and many of them are so
badly injured by shock and bruises that
it is feared they will not recover
1t is believed that the explosion was
caused by firing shot when the mine
was partially filed with gas.
At the present writing - miners arc
unaccounted for.
