Franch refused to sign his death war
rant, as tho law requires, exclaiming:
Long live anarchy"
fused to receive the priests, and to Jesuit
father who sought to administer religious
consolation the anarchist exclaimed fierce
ly: Get out! was only acting. Only
pretending to be religious In order to live
well and hoping to get pardon. The
crime committed was an cxpiation duo
from the Bourgcoisie.'
To tho end he maintained the same spirit
OF bravado, and as he was led to his death
he cursed tho guards, the priests and all
who came within sound of his voice.
The crime for which jose Salvador
Franch suffered the death penalty was the
most revolving Of all the crimes of Euro
pean anarchists. On the night of Nov. 2,
1893, while the Iiceo theatre here was
crowded with an audience composed
mainly of the elite of tho city, two bombs
were thrown from the gallery into the
audience beneath. One of the bombs ex-
ploded with frightful force, and when the
excitement had partially subsidized it was
discovered that twenty persons had been
killed or received injuries which afterward
proved fatal, while fifty others were seri-
ously wounded. Some time afterward
French was arrested, and on trial was CON
victed and sentenced to death. After his
conviction he pretended penitence and
conversion, and was allowed certain liber-
ties. His penitence being doubted, the
prison officials were ordered to cease their
lenient treatment, and on being told of
this French burst forth into n torrent of
violest invective against all religions and
all governments. But for this his SEN
tence might have been commuted. Franch

TO DESTROY JAPAN'S NAVY.
Shs Capture Of Alleged Americans Who
Accepted the Contract.

The Capture Of Alleged Americans Who
Accepted the Contract.
| VICTORIA, 3. O., Nov. ei.-The steam
ship Empress Of China arrived yesterday
with Yokohama advices to the 9th inst.
Some excitement has been created in
Yokohama by the detention of the steam
ship Gaelic on her outward voyage to Hong
Kong by the Japanese authorities 40
cording to the general report two of the
passengers were known to be naval ex-
perts and the possessors of some secret en-
CINE of destruction which was in their
baggage. Nothing liable to seizure was
found, however, and the vessel was al
lowed to proceed.
While the examination at Yokohama
was drawing to close intelligence was
received that the suspected travellers had
transferred themselves and their belong
ings to the French mali steamer Sydney,
and We're on their way to Shanghai by way
of Kobe. Permission to search the ship
was obtained from the French consul at
Kobe, and the discovery was soon made
that passenger calling himself John
Brown, claiming to be an American, was
Bound for China, under contract with tho
authorities of that empire to destroy tho
japanese navy within eight weeks from
the time of his arrival" He processes to
nave discovered an explosive of tremen-
dous power, which he declared he had first
offered to Japan, but as his proposal was
contemptuously refused he sought employ
ment from the Chinese legation at Wash
ington. Receiving sufficient encourage
ment, he started at once for the east, 40
companied by an American assistant, reg
istered as George Howie, and Chinese in
terpreter, furnished him by the legation.
The men were arrested, and arc now I'M
der close guardianship in Kobe. The af-
lair concerns more or less directly three
western nations-the United States, France
and England-and 1t is already under con-
alteration by the diplomatic agents of the
respective governments. The parties ar
rested bore q letter 70 Ii Hung Chang
from the envoy at Washington, and also a
formal contract promising to pay 81 900, 600
Tor the destruction Of the Japanese navy
and specified sum for every merchant
ship destroyed. 1t appears that 100000
nave already been paid on account Some
doubts are entertained as to the national
ity Of Brown and Howie. They declare
themselves English by birth, but Ameri-
cans by naturalization. One or both served
until recently in the Brazilian navy.

Mine Fire Near Mauoh Chunk.

MAucH CHUNK, Pa, Nov. 2i.-No IL
colliery, located between No. 10 and Coal
port, on the Nesquehoning branch of the
Central railroad, and owned and operated
by the Lehigh Coal and Navigation com.
pany, was found yesterday to be on fire,
The discovery was made by a miner who
went down in the shaft He had great dif
nculty in getting back, and when taken
out was pretty badly used up There are
thirty Weight mules In the burning mine,
but 1t is generally supposed that the ami
mails can be saved by taking them through
the manways, How the mine caught fire
Is mystery. The mine is a valuable one,
and gave employment to between 400 and
400 men.

SEVEN MINERS KILLED.
Coal Dustin a Mine Ignited by an
0veroharge Blast.
FIVE OF THE DEAD LEAVE FAMILIES

In Addition to Those Killed -Four Others
We're Badly Injured, One of Whom VIII
Die-The Disaster Caused by an Incom.
potent Miner.
WHEELING, W. Va, Nov. 21.-The most
appalling mine disaster that ever occurred
In this section Of West Virginia happened
shortly after noon yesterday at the Blanch
coal mines, on tho Pan Handle railroad at
Golfers Station. A new miner, an Ital-
Ian, put off an overcharge blast, which ig-
nited the coal dust In the mine, and
fearful explosion followed, carrying death
and destruction In Its path. There were
forty eight men in the mine at the time,
and the following are known to be killed:
Michael Rooney, Thomas Jordon, Thomas
Tucker, David Rowland, John Donnelly,
Antonio Sattie and Mazzle Gissiedeo. The
last five leave families The following are
badly injured Raefel Necki will die),
Jose Refael, Jasper Lawrence and Thomas
Morris (colcred).
After the explosion there was a terrific
whirlwind in the mine, carrying every.
thing before 1t. Donnelly and Rooney
were in the mine some distance, and were
going towards the entrance. The force Of
the explosion drove them nearly hun.
dred yards from the mouth of the mine
and landed Rooney on the railroad track,
killing him instantly. Donnelly, who
leaves ten children, landed in q gully,
striking his head against post. His brains
were dashed out and scattered for yards
around. His wife was the first to find him,
and she swooned away and is now lying
Frustrated by the shock. There is little
hope that she will recover.
The news Of the disaster quickly spread,
and IN few moments hundreds of people
We're crowded about the mouth of the
mine. Many heartrendiEg scenes were
enacted. Tho wives and children of the
miners were frantic, and the strong men
were even overcome. In a short time
rescuing party was organized and went
into the mines after the bodies. When the
bodies were brought to the surface many
women swooncd at the sight.
There were miraculous escapes when the
explosion occurred. William Davis was
in the entry, $50 feet from the entrance,
and when he heard the explosion he lay
down near the rib Of the mine, and the
whirlwind, carrying rocks, fire and death,
passed over him. An empty coal car stand
ing at the entrance Of the mine was blown
twenty five yards.
The mine is owned by W. E. Smith, of
Wellsville, and L. C. Smith, of New Cum
berland. The miners charge that the ac-
oident was due to the inexperience of the
Italian miner and declare they will not
work with Italians any more.
Prosecuting Attorney Cotton and Cor
oner Walkinshaw of Wellsburg, were soon
on the ground and took charge of tho bod
les, and will conduct rigid investigation.
This is the second accident of the kind
which has occurred at this mine. Just
two years ago, Nov. 81, 1899, similar ex-
plosion occurred, in which three were
killed and seven injured The state mine
inspector arrived here today to take part
in the investigation.

TOXIC, Nov. 21.-It is learned that the
Japanese government has sent its reply to
the note Of United States Minister Dun,
asking whether q tender by the president
of the United States of his offices in the in
terest of restoring peace in the east would
be agreeable to Japan. Before reaching a
conclusion the ministry gave the matter
consideration for several days, and finally
stated to Mr.. Dun that, although the
friendly sentiments which prompted tho
government and people of the United
States were deeply appreciated, the sue
cess of the Japanese arms had been such
that China should approach Japan directly
on the subject =.
