VIII Be Exploded in the Kansas City p. o.
To-day.
KANSAS CITY, No., June 4.-There
will be a grand transformation scene In
the Kansas City postoffice tomorrow,
when there will be exploded little
bombshell loaded by the postoffice In
spectors, who have been investigating
the Office. The postmaster will himself
be expected to apply the match, and to-
cether with the few removals already
reported, the following will be the re-
sult for the time being: The heads OF
three chiefs OF departments, eight
clerks and five carriers will fall. -Four
clerks and five carriers will be sus-
pended thirty days each. A general
disciplning and reorganization OF the
force will begin.
Government officials arrived here last
week and have been pushing an investl-
cation into the affairs OF the post office.
Eight clerks and five carriers have al
ready been discharged for duplicating
and hypothecating their salaries with
money lenders.
The investigation showed that these
thirteen clerks and carriers had pledged
the same months salary to different
loan brokers, and had absolutely
refused to make any settle
ment whatever on the strength OF their
being government employees, and their
claim that as such they could not be held
responsible tor their misdeeds. In ad-
dition to the employees who we're "bodily
fred" from the force, the inspector
directed four clerks and FIVE carriers
suspended for thirty days for shoot
ing craps" while on duty and for getting
in debt TO money lenders.
Postmaster Nofnger has entered into
the Investigation and he is held blame
less.

Prohibition Law.

Startling Application OF the Kansas
Prohibition Law.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, June 4.-Fritz
Engle, driver of one Of the Anheuser-
Busch Brewing Company's wagons,
went over to Kansas City, Kas., early
this morning with big load OF beer.
While supplying the saloons the driver
met Deputy Sheriff Cummings. The Of
ficer mounted the wagon, and the team
was driven to the county jail. Engle
was placed behind the bars, the horses
put into the Sherff's barn, and the kegs
OF beer rolled into the jail.
Deputy County Attorney Holt has
discovered o new feature in the Kansas
prohibition law. He claims a beer
wagon and its contents can be held and
confscated by order Of the Court the
same as stock of liquor aud the fix
lures of a saloon. This is the first ac-
tion of this kind taken, and the Prose-
cutor announces that ii will be followed
by the arrest of drivers and seizure OF
other beer wagons.

The Terrible Predicament OF Twsnfy-six
Men In Mexican Mine.

Men In Mexican Mine.
EAGLE PASS. TEX, June "A hre
was started late last night in the
Fuente coal mines, situated In Mexico.
four miles from here. Twety-six men
are in the mines, and tits feared all will
lose their lives. Efforts are being made
10 reach them by rescuing parties, but
IL is feared the imprisoned men cannot
be rescued.
GALVESTON, TEXAS, June "A
special from Eagle Pass says: Full
particulars of the Fuente coal mine dis
aster as nearly as can be learned, are as
follows: The Mexican International
railway, which recently came into the
possession OF the mines
is operating narrow gauge
road with small engine which
penetrated the main entry, hauling In
empty and bringing out loaded cars.
This main entry is lined on the SIDE
and at the top with creosoted lumber.
and three air shafts from which 10
supply the mines with ventilation. The
workings are all to the east OF the
main entry and some fifty men were
employed taking out coal.
At 4 O'Clock yesterday, shortly after
the locomotive left, Ghe mine was dis
covered to be on fire, and flames wers
seen issuing out OF the air shafts.
About one-half OF the miners were
working near the main tunnel, and
these made their escape, leaving 20 OF
their number to perish from the heat
and smoke, and from the poisonous
gases which spread like lightning to
every portion Of the mines.
When 1t was seen that all efforts
we're useless to rescue the imprisoned
miners every energy was directed to
save the property from destruction.
A hand pump was placed In position on
the Escondido river, pipes were laid
into the mine as far as any work could
be done and the hose attached and
water poured into the burning cham
bers.
At19 o'clock to-day when your CORE
spondent reached the scene one body
had been recovered from the seventh
chamber, and shortly after another,
fearfuIly scorched and bruised, was
brought to the surface. The tenth
chamber has been reached, and men
with ropes tied to their bodies TO effect
their rescue, II overcome by smoke. are
fighting their way to where the bodies
OF their dead comrades are lying. 1t Is
believed that by tomorrow the mine
will be cleared OF the smoke, which, At
present, 1t is impossible to cope with,
and that all the bodies will be recov-
cred.
All the miners employed were Mex
leans, and most OF them leave destitute
families. 1t is reported that all parties
responsible for the management OF the
mines have been placed under arrest
pending an investigation OF the cause
OF the disaster. This is the first fire
disaster In the history Of coal mining In
Mexico.

CH1cAeo, June What the atten-
dance at the Worlds Fair might have
been to-day had It not rained, no one
will ever know. But It rained and 1t
rainsd hard nearly all afternoon and to-
night the umber Of admissions was less
than 10000
The second Sunday OF the fair dawned
bright and ii was uncomfOrtRbly warm.
The railways, surface and elevated, and
the steamboat lines brought out their
entire service in anticipation OF an i'm
mense business, but they were disap-
pointed. Up to l o'clock they did
fair business and carried upwards
OF thirty-fve thousand people to the
White City. About that hour an ugly,
threatening black cloud arose in the
west, and In less than an hour later the
rain was falling 10 torrents. III was
after four o'clock when the rain ceased
and the sun came out again, out IL was
so late that the people did not come out
in crowds, aud late this evening the
bureau OF admissions estimated the al
tendance would be less than 10000.
THIS MUCH MAY DE SAID
Of the visitors who attended the fair TO-
day: They were largely OF the working
class and inhabitants OF Chicago. There
were thousands of laboring men out
with their families and nearly oil OF
them brought their lunch with them
and at noon the benches and seats scat
tered throughout the grounds reminded
one of basket picnic. About the only
people who came out to-day were those
who could not attend during the week
Another thing that was noticeable the
pay shows on tire Midway Plalsance
were not well patrOnized and the rolf
ing chairs were scarcely used at all. II
was a crowd made up Of people who
had ID work for living and could az
ford few OF the luxuries. The Machin-
ery Hall was crowded pretty much all
day IL too was the Fine Arts building
and Me Manufacturers building. Near
Iv the Eastern States buildings were
clo4d 20 the public while the majority
of the buildings erected by the Western
and Middle States were open.
The open air concerts in the pavilion
on Administration Plaza were we'll pat
ronlzed. especially towards noon, when
the people thronRed thither and ate
their lunch and listened to the music
At the same time. Krupp's big guns
were handled In the pavilion on the
lake front az o'clock exactly as they
would be handled In service, except
that they were not fired.

the following number Of people regis
