design OF this conference Of presidents of

every case bevond recognition. In fully
half the cases Identification was only possi-
BILE from either the clothes or the contents
of the pockets. In some cases the limbs
had been severed from the bodies by the
force of the explosion, and In others the
bodies had been burned to crisp and
charred almost beyond resemblance to a
human form.
There are two encouraging facts which
urpe the rescuers on TO their work. No
fire followed the explosion-at least there
have been no signs of any, and there are
known to be live men entombed IN the
tunnels behind fallen boulderS. The
rescuers can hear faint knockings and far
off shoutings They are digging in the
direction whence the sounds come aud
hope to yet rescue some OF the men aIlNe.
The wreck about the mouth of the mine
and the bottom of the hosting shaft Is SO
nearly complete that the work Is dread
fully Slow. All the bodies in plain view
have been brought to the surface, but
there are Others which can be seen par
tally hidden under fallen boulders and
masses of debris. The work OF digging
these from their graves goes steadily on
and frequently cage is hoisted contain
ing the body of another victim.
The cause of the explosion Is still unde-
termined The probability Is that some
miner fired blast without orders, which
ignited either the accumulated gas or coal
dust. There is no means of learning the
cause now, and there may never be, unless
some of the survivors happen to know the
facts. The scenes in the village of krebs
today were pathetic in the extreme. Those
who did not go to the scene of horror, and
who had missing relatives, were nearly
craZed with anxiety. while those whose
relatives had returned TO them safe from
the Jaws of death were nearly crazed with
JOY.
The different miners organizations met
tonight to arrange the details of the
funeral Of the dead.
At 10 o'clock tonight forty-eight dead
bodies had been rescued from the mine.
The names of more of the victims are as
follows: George Lewey, August Felta,
JOIN Williams, L. Hunt, Robert Powers,
William Mitchell, Joseph Clark, Willie
McShane, Timothy Collins. James Farmer.
Among the fatally injured are: George
Hsrbin, Sr., Georte Harbin. Jr.. Frank
Hathaway, Joseph OSland. Enoch Church,
Willie Church, William Williams, Chas.
Martin, Louis Toobe, Joseph Toobe,
Giovanai Blessant, Francis Tozzie, Brany
BicmO and John Rossi.
Those who first went down the hosting
shaft after the explosion describe the scene
as terribly revolving. Legs arms and head
less bodies were lying in mass at the bot
tom OF the shaft and scattered all over the
various approaches. Twenty-four bodies
were found at that point, but only six of
them could be identified. Six small boys
(nAmes unknown who were tending the
fans were killed outright and were found
dead at their posts
l. has been learned that the explosion
was caused by George Lowrey exploding
what is known as a window shot" The
latest estimate of the number of missing
is 146.

THE RAILWAYS,
The Alton Again Charged With Manipu-
latiug Passen er Ra,es

CHICAGO, Jan. S.-A meeting of the gsn-
eral passenger agents of the TRANSMISSION
association has been called TO consider
charges of rate manipulation against the
Chicago and Alton road. The charges are
made by Chairman Smythe, himself who
says that the Alton, by selling its orders
in Denver to passenger going to st. Louis
and Chicago, effects Il reduction in the
rate east of Kansas City. 1t does not seem
to be of any consequence to Mr.. Smythe
that the alleged reduction Is in territory
over which he has no jurisdiction, but he
goes further and suggests to the lines in
his association that the only way to
properly punish the Alton is to take It's
tickets off sale. In other words, he
proposes a boycott against the Alton by
the roads west of the Missouri river.
General Passenger Agent Charlton has
written n scsthing letter to Chairman
Smythe, advising him to look after the
roads in his own association.
The lines in the Western Passenger as
sociaJion have agreed to make rate of
one fare for the round trip from points in
the territory of the association to Mime
apolis aud return during the national Re-
publican convention.

ANARCHISTS ARRESTED.

LONDON, Jan 8-Today the police claim
that they have effected an important ar
rest of group of anarchists residing in
Walsall, a town in Staffordshire. A
Frenchman named Victor G lies, Marie
Piebelne, woman with whom Gales was
living, and Frederick Charles, all residing
at Walsall are in custody. The prisoners
are each about 80 years of age. The resi-
dence of the prisoners was searched by the
police, and the investigation led to most
important discoveries concerning the
work of the plotters. The prisoners were
arraigned in court today. Marie Pibelne
was discharged. 1t is thought that she
has mado a confession and that it is the
inten tion of the authorities to use her as IA
witness against the other prisoners, who
were remauded for A week

The EGYPTIAN QUESTION.

] LONDON, jan S-The Times, comment
/ ing on the death of the khedive, says that
| the accession of the Youthful ruler afford
good reason why England should have
! tighter hold on Egypt.
| The Standard saws: Should the sultan
| consider the time opportune to reopen the
negotiations he will find that while we
| entertain punctllious respect Tor hl~
suzera1ne rights, we cannot expose both
| him and Egypt to IA repetition OF the
dangers from which England alone res
cued them"
| PARIS JAN S-The death of the khediye
of Egypt has Afforded occasion Cor the
French news papers 10 lake up and discuss
at great lengI b the long standing Egyptian
question. They all agree in the belief
that England will take advantage of the
situation to prplong her occupation of the
country, and all express the fear that the
new khedive Will prove only puppet in
the hands of the British. The Steele de-
mands that the powers combine to pre-
vent the placing of Abbas Pasha under
English tutllage.
1t is believed in French circles in Cairo
that the porte will only consent to the
succession Of Abbas, the hereditary prince
of Egypt, upon the understanding that
Riaz Pasha who in My last was deposed
from the presidency of the council and the
other ministerial positions he then held.
shall again assume the position of presi-
dent of the council, and that extended
authority be given to Moukhtar Pasha,
the commissioner of the porte a Cairo.
CAIRO, Jan. S.-The funeral of the
khediye took place this afternoon, The
route Of the procession from the palace

were held was lined by a crowd mum bering

THE MEXICAN FRONTIER.


SAN ANTONIO, Tex, Jan. S-phe latest
reports received from the Rio Grande
frontier indicate that numerous bands of
revolutionists are moving toward Mexico,
and that unless their march is inttrfered
with within the next few days by United
States troops or the Mexican military
authorities the men will have reached
Mexican territory They are all thought
to have one objective point In Mexico,
where they hone to meet and join forces,
and Monterey is said to be the city upon
which the first combined assault Is to be
made. The Mexican government has been
informed of this plan, and during the last
two days there has been general shifting
of troops from the garrisOns OF the state of
San Luis POtosi and the lower part OF the
state of Nueva Leon to the Rio Grande
frontier of the state of Lamaulipas. The
main army of the revolutionists is re-
ported TO be within days march of the
border and United States troops are beiLg
hurried to intercept them.
CITY OF MEXICO, Jan. S.-The report
received to the effect that the clerical
party is backing the CARA insurrection
caused big row among the Liberal and
clerical journals of this city. All the Lib
eral papers printed the dispatch, and
made. in many cases, some very forcihle
and damaging comments regarding the
clericals. TEMPO, Il leading journal, rep
resenting the clerical interests, says: The
news is utterly false and the clericals have
nothing to do with the GarZa trouble"
TEMPO furthermore states that LIE Trait
d'Union deliberately lies in an article that
says that Augustine de Iturbide Is mixed
up in the present frontier muddle. This
giving of the direct lie has the significance
in this city of duel and it is probable
that one will follow. 1t is ony three weeks
ago since the editor of LIE Trait d'UDion
and the editor of Timpo fought duel
with revolvers, but neither were hurt.
WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Minister Romero
of Mexico. in conversation with Secretary
Blaine, suggested that an agreement be
entered into between Mexico and the
Unite States by which the Cara revo-
lutionists might be pursued across the
border of either country in which they
might seek to find refuge. IN other
words, there should be no neutral terri
tory for the revolutionists. This ques-
tion is considered to be most serious one,
in revolving degree of diplomatic and
international delicacy of unusual impor-
tance The matter of damage that might
be done to American life and property
renders the question difficult one to de-
eide, particularly in view of the present
friendly relations between the United
States and Mexico. The under secretary
of state opposed the proposition, as tend
ing to establish a dangerous precedent in
the treatment of political offenders. No
action will be taken by the United States,
however, unless the matter Is formally
presented by the Mexican government,

There are great many kitchens that
are not possessed of the luxury of
brush for cleaning potatoes 1t is next
to impossible to wash potatoes per-
fectly clean by hand. The use of lit
tie scrubbing brush, such as may be
purchased at from five to ten cents, will
soon make their jackets fresh and clean,
SO that they will be fit to be brought
on the table roasted. Roast potatoes
should always have little bit of skin
Clipped off at either end to allow the
steam to escape and to prevent their
becoming sodden before they are thor
oughly done, Such brush is also very
useful in washing beets and various
other root vegetables, all of which are
probably Just as well cooked in their
skins and peeled when they are done

this rule as it acquires bitter flavor
