In the Fifth it was q farce, with
enough sensationalism to make it in
teresting rs well as laughable, j. F.
Robinson portraying to perfection
the hero, while Tom Cox took the low
comedian character. Each can
didate had his '.gang" headed by a
healer, who had instructions to have
things conducted in . manner favora-
BILE to his man or to make a trough
house." There was disscnsion from
the start; everybody wanted to talk
at the same time, and for few min
utes it looked like . panic. The
hooting and yelling Of the factions
WAS deafening. When the time ar
rived for raising the curtain stand
ing room was at . premium. and there
we're about rs many outside n inside.

Frederick YiIiiers, the London standard"
War Correspondent, Tells About the
Atrocities.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
VANCOUVER, b. c., Jan. 16.-Among
the passengers by the Empress of Japan
was Frederick Villiers, war correspon-
dent and artist, who arrived straight
from the seat of war. When asked by
the Associated Press correspondent re.
garding the truth of the stories of the
massacres at Port Arthur, Villiers said
that unfortunately it was only too true.
On the 21st instant, when Port Arthur
was captured, Oyama decided that the
Japanese should occupy the town, and
the Yamagis regiment was ordered to
perform this duty. They entered the
town, Villiers London Standard, Creel-
man New York VortdD and Cowan
(London Tines being with them.
Just inside the city were three mutt
lated heads of Japanese stuck on poles
and no sooner had the troops seen these
than they lost all control aud indiscrImi-
nGtely butchered everybody they found
Oyama had issued proclamation that
none of the inhabitants should be
molcsted, so they stood in groups on the
streets watching the entry of the SOL
diers. They were driven like sheep into
groups and shot down in cold blood.
That was kept up all of the first day
On the second day the soldiers broke
open stores and houses and shot down
men, women and children who were
hiding. No one was spared, neither
young nor old. The third and fourth
days the butchery continued, officers
not even attempting to check the men,
many Of the bodies were horribly
mutilated.
On the third day of the massacre the
Japanese officers recognized that they
had made a mistake and attempted to
conceal the butchery by throwing
clothes of Chinese soldiers over the
bodies. Villlers, Creelman and Cowau
witnessed the killing of many and VIII
Tiers has taken several snap shots which
bear undeniable truth OF the butchery.
When shown statements sent out by
the japanese legation at Washington,
justifying the massacre, Villiers said it
was impossible to justify it, as no re-
sistance was offered. The first day was
excusable, as the soldiers lost all control
on seeing the mutiated bodies, but after
they had time to reflect there was no
excuse. -.......
Villiers said the town had popula-
ton of 1000 to 1000, and but from SO
to 40 were left alive, and those had
tickets signed by the Japanese officers,
signifying that they were not to be
killed.

Amid Great Enthuslasm-Republi
Again in Control. -....
HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 15.-Daniel
Hartman Hastings, the humble school
teacher of % years ago, was to-day
formally installed in the highest office
in the second greatest State in the union
at the most imposing ceremonies ever
seen in this city on similar occasion.
With the induction of Governor Hast
ings into office all the departments of
the State government again passed into
the control of the Republicans after four
years of partial loss of political power.
Prior to the Inauguration of Cover
nor Hastings the oath of office was ad-
ministered on the floor Of the Senate to
Lieutenant-governor Lyon by Judge
Simonton of the Dauphin county court.
Before he retired, Acknowledgements
Watres made an address to the Senate.
A short address was also made by Lyon.
Governor Hastings was greeted with
much enthusiasm when he entered the
portice of the capitol with his party.
After selection by the Third Regiment
Band of Pottsville, Chief Clerk Smiley
of the Senate read the certificate of cleo
ton. The oath of office was then ad-
ministered by Chief Justice Sterrett.
Then followed praper by the Rev. DIR.
w. A. Houck of Hazelton, after which
the Governor began the delivery of his
inaugural address.
The ceremonies concluded with the
Rev. DR.. Houck pronouncing the bene-
diction. The parade followed.
The new governor and his family
were installed in the Executive Mansion
yesterday afternoon, through the cour-
tesy of Governor Pattison, the retiring
executive. From to O'Clock Governor
and Mrs. Hastings dined with Governor
Pattison and Miss Pattison at the man
sion. On account of severe attack of
illness, Mrs. Pattison, much to her re.
greet, was unable to leave her home at
Overlook to attend the dinner.
AT the close of this pleasant exchange
Of courtesies, the retiring Governor and
daughter surrendered the mansion to
their guests and went to the home of
James j. Dull, neighbor and personal
friend, where they were guests until
their departure this afternoon on the
limited express for Philadelphia. Last
evening Governor Pattison's staff paid
him formal call. Afterward the party
went to the Executive Mansion to pay
their respects to Governor and Mrs.
Hastings. -....

NJ. Casimir- Perier Condemned for Resign
ing in tho Midst of a Crisis.
Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires
PARIS, Jan. 16.-The ministers met at
a. M, IN order to discuss the situation
and the Socialist group of deputies will
meet at p. m, in order to arrange
programme. Rumors are in circulation
that dissolution of Parliament is ex-
pected.
The opinion expressed this morning
at the clubs and on the boulevards is
unanimous with that of the press in
strongly condemning NJ. Casimir-Perier
for having resigned in the midst of u
parliamentary crisis.
CAsIMIR-PERIER's LETTER.
The Senate and Chamber OF Deputies
met at o'clock this afternoon, and the
following letter from NJ. Caslmir-Perier
was read to both bodies:

WORKING HARD FOR THEIR RESCUE

Another Mine Casualty, In North STAFF
fordshire, England - One Hundred
Miners Entombed by Sudden Rush of
Waters - Working Hard for Rescue -
Fears That Many Lives Have Been Lost.
LONDON, Jan. 15.-Throughout the
night relays of men have worked des-
perately at the Dig Lake Colliery,
Audley, North Staifordshire, where q
large number of miners were entombed
about noon, yesterday, by sudden rush
of waters from the old workings, as
already cabled to the Associated Press.
NEARLY A HUNDRED IN THE MINE.
By 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon $50
of the men and boys employed in the
mine had been rescued. OF those who
remained below it was thought that 90
were in the lower workings when the
mine was flooded and that they were
drowned.
From the time the disaster was sig
nailed, the rescuers have been doing
their utmost to save those who may
remain alive and to recover the bodies
of the drowned. The work of rescue,
however, has not made much progress,
and il is now believed that there are
still between 80 to 100 men and boys in
the mine.
the sorrow-stricken wives, daughters
and other relatives of the imprisoned
miners have been gathered around the
pit head ever since news of the disaster
reached them. There they have been
patiently facing the bitterly cold winds
since shortly after noon yesterday, and
mauy of them have been without food
al hot - .
dry clothes for the men, and they stood
in groups hoping and praying for the
safety of those dear to them.
WORK OF RESCUE DIFFICULT.
The water constantly fluctuates so
that the Tescuers are well nigh dis
couraged. They found the bottom of the
shaft choked with piles of timber swept
there by the torrents of water which
poured into the mine. All of this timber
must be removed before the entombed
men can be reuched.
WATER STILL FLOWING IN.
But the ceaseless pumping does not
seem to materially affect the continuous
flood of water. The greatest fear is ex :
pressed that the water will so undermine
the galleries that there will be cave.in
The rescuers work with difficulty, stand
ing in four feet of water and only Is
yards progress was made during the
night.
Hundreds of miners have arrived at
the Dig Lake Colliery from other col
lieries, and they all volunteered to go
down and assist in the work of rescue.
Fresh gangs of men are thus supplied to
| go down every hour.
