DENVER. dan. 11.--A special concerning
the mining accident near Como says new,
Of tho accident spread like fash over the
little town Of King. and rescuinQ party
was at once organized. A telephone call
Tor assiatance WAS also sent to Como
Danger was to be feared from gas yet re-
maining in the mine. but adventurous
leaders brayed the way and were hetoically
followed by miners and citizsns. Twenty
seven bodies were found in the chamber
whore the premature shot exploded, or in
its Immediate vicinity. Evidently the
victims were killed outright by the explo-
sion or knocked senseless by the shock and
asphyIiatsd by deadly easses. The bodies
we're found in all sorts of aRonizinQ
positions, in many instances lying crossed
OF clasped together. The slow work of
carrying the dead to the surface was then
commenced. Meantime the shaft was sur
rounded by crowds OF women and children,
relatives Of tho miners.
The heartrsnding scene may be imagined
when body after body was brought ont,
laid by the side OF the others, and the work
OF Identification commenced. There are
about 300 people at Kings and the heads of
all the families are employed in the mines
which give work to about 200 men. The
room in which the explosion occurred has
been sealed up and will not be opened until
the state inspector Of mines, who left this
morning, arrives at the scene Of disaster.
The following is complete Iist OF the
killed: John 1 oil, fire boss; Robert Blvthe,

morning under which II will rsport whether
or not the charges against Henry Cabot
Lodge and Henry Adams. relative to their
alleged monopoly OF documents in the

vestigated. Gen. Fl. v. Boynton recounted
how, as representative OF William Henry
Smith. general manager Of the Associated

tions to have certain state papers copied,
but without success. This attempt, Gen.
Boynton said. began in the Garfield ad-
ninisttation. extended through those OF
Arthur, Cleveland and Harrison,

met with failure. During all this time
he had:ths hearty cooperation of the Sec
retarios OF state and assistants under all nd-
ministrations. aud that Of the chief elerk
and other officials, but when the Office of
librarian was reached. every effort was
baked. and that despite the fat that he
was armed with written and verbal orders
Of superior officers. Smith was whiting a
history of Gov. st. Clair and the north
western territory. and criticism ON Sparks'
life of Washington. and wanted the papers
copied for use in these works.
Gen. Boynton was unable to do anything
by reason Of obstructions put in his way by
Dwight. Boynton told the committee that
he discovered that Lodge and Adams were
having not only hccess to these papers but
that they were being copied for them under
the supervision of Dwight. Other things
showed the existence of ring in the Ii
hfary of the department. Immel eliately af-
ter Smith applied for permission to copy
the papers and said why he wanted them, a
notice was published in the New York pa.
pcrs by Adams that he was preparing his
tory identically the same rs that upon
which Smith was working.
