THE functions of the government of

pledged If they are elected as members
of the general assembly, to vote first in
favor of an open party caucus for the
naming of United States senators; second,
against a secret ballot In caucus, and
third, against the selection of any man
who is not in favor of the free coinage of
both gold and silver into full legal ten

without regard for the action of any
other country. To this end we ask your
cordial cooperation and assistance.

the finding of the dead bodies OF Captain
Smith and two companions In Jackson

responsible for the story, has left
Idaho Falls and his whereabouts can not

murder occurred, questioned Wilson
closely and believes the report to be re
liable. Two companies of United States
troops who have been stationed at Swan

months ago have left for Jackson hole

outrages If possible.
There are about 75 Bannock Indians re-

MINE GAS IGNITED
Terrific Explosion in the Douance
Workings at Wikesbare.
LOSS OF LIFE is UNKNOWN
Five Men, Badly Burned, Have Already
Been Brought Up From the
Scene of Disaster.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 7.-Shortly
after ) p. m. today a terrific explosion
of gas occurred in the Dorrence mine.
operated by the Lehigh Valley Coal
Company. 1t is not yet known how
many men were in the mine. The Of
ficials are reticent and 1t is almost i'm
possible to get any information from
the lower levels, where the rescuers
are at work.
At 8 o'clock five men, badly burned,
were brought to the surface. They were
r. Blanchard, II. Miller, Michael Moss,
George Lafiey, Joseph Murphy. The
first two are members of the engineer
corps. Moss and Laficy are laborers
and Murphy Is a driver. Miller and
Blanchard are so badly burned that
they can not live.
Blanchard gave his version of the
explosion to a reporter as he lay on
cot in the hospital. Shortly before
O'Clock the engineer corps decided to
make survey of a portion of the old
abandoned workings known as the
Baltimore section and which underlies
the grounds of the Wilkesbarre base
ball club, one mile distant from the
main opening of the mine. The party,
which was in charge of Fire Boss Rees,
who Is an expert ON mine gases, con-
sisted of William Jones, William Ca
hill and Llewellyn Owens. Blanchard
and Miller were left behind to finish
some work that had been started in the
morning. About IL minutes after the
party had left Miller and Blanchard,
the explosion occurred. Both Miller
and Blanchard were knocked down by
the force. Flying timbers struck Mil
Ter, breaking both of his arms. After
| being knocked down Miller and Blanch-
| ard revived at the hospital. Blanchard
| thinks one of the engineers set fire
| to a body of gas in the old workings
and that all of the party must have
been instantly killed. When Blanchard
was found he was being slowly roasted
| to death. The gas had set fire to his
| clothes and they had been almost burn
| ed off his body when the rescuers came
| upon him. Miller with his broken arms
| could render him no assistance, and
Blanchard was so pinned down by de-
| brs that he could make no use OF his
| hands.
1t is now admitted by the mine Of
flcials that there is no hope of finding
the engineer corps alive. They all per
| lshed in the explosion and If they were
not killed outright they were suffocatet
| by the fire damp. The superintendent
is of the opinion that they were killed
| by the force of the explosion and theil
bodies probably burned to a crisp. AL
| but eight miners and laborers have nov
| been accounted for. Whether thes,
eight persisted with the engineers will
not be known until tomorrow.

The Armenians are still inside the Pa

refuge after the rioting on Monday.
There were some shots fired at noon to-

DURRANT'S DEFENSE
Struggle Is to Break Down les
timony Of Prosecution.
The PRISONER is TO TESTIFY
Care VIII BE Taken to Allow the Prose-
cution No Chance to Learn
the Truth.

San Francisco, Oct. 7-On the open
ing of the eleventh week of the Durrant
trial tomorrow the defense will make
final struggle to break down the
testimony of the prosecution, process
which is expected to last three days
longer. A few more students will be
called to the stand, several additional
citizens will testify to Durrants ex-
cellent reputation and then the defend
ant himself will be called to the witness
stand. 1t Is the intention of the de-
Tense to have Durrant recount the his
tory of his adventures ON April from
the time he accompanied Blance La
mont to school until the hour when he
retired to rest in his fathers house. 1t
is understood that the defendants tes-
timony will be guardedly given for the
purpose of shutting off the cross-ex-
animation of the district attorney: I'm
der the law laid down by the supreme
court a witness can not be cross-ex-
amined except upon actual matters
brought out upon direct examination.
The defense intends to leave no loop
holes for the attack of the prosecu-
ton.
Naturally the subject uppermost in
Attorney Dueprey's mind was the dam
aging statement made by DR.. Gilbert
+. Graham against Durrant, which was
published today. The knowledge that
Durrant's classmate had announced his
intention to go on the witness stand
and testify that the accused had con-
fessed to him that he had no notes of
DR. Cheney's lecture, nettled the attor-
ney not a little, although he declared
that he was confident of breaking Ora
ham down on cross-examination.
What do l think of Graham's state
ment?" said Mr.. Dueprey, repeating the
question asked him. why, I am
amazed at 1t. l can not understand it,
really. have talked with Graham and
he never mentioned such a thing to
me. Now, l want TO tell you something
We have simply landed DR.. Graham In
an uncomfortable place. He says now
that Durrant told him that he had no
notes of that lecture and wanted to Dor
row his (Graham's), presumably to
copy them in order to bolster up an
alibi. Now, the fact of the matter is
! Durrant's notes of DR.. Cheney's lee
ture were in the possession of General
Dickinson and myself long before Ora
ham ever called at the jail We had
! them in our possession almost from the
| time of Durrant's arrest. What will
| DR.. Gradients testimony amount to as
| against that? What need would Dur
rant have had for Graham's notes"
During your interview with Ora.
| ham, did he not tell you that Durrant
| had confessed that he had no notes OF
DIR. Cheney's lecture and wanted Ora
hams in order to copy them ant
| strengthen his alibi?"
Never in the world" replied Deu
prey, with emphasis. HE never evei
intimated such thing"
but suppose Graham goes on thu
witness stand and testifies that suci
was the case?"
Then 1 will say that he testifies t.
something which Is untrue"

HURlS DEFIANCE AT THE KAISER
Herr Liebknecht Is Brave in Ills Opening
Speec TO Socialists,

Breslau, Oct. Herr Liebknecht, in
his inaugural speech at the opening of
the socialist congress today, commented
on the attacks recently made by Emperor
William, saying attempts had been made
to villify the social democracy, but. he
added, the party could not defy defeat,
no matter how many bayonets were at
the disposal of those who wished for a
trial of strength. Herr Leibknecht said
that If they wanted fight the social
democrats were their men.
Continuing, he said: 1.-THE highest au-
thority in the land throws down the
gauntlet and insults us. Let us take up
the challenge, no matter who it may be
that casts this mud at us. He is incapa-
BILE of touching us, for We are above his
insults. The German empire would first
collapse. but socialism will triumph. A
violation of universal suffrage will be
equivalent to the death warrant to the
imperial government"
Herr Liebknecht's speech was enthusl-
astically applauded.

BACK FROM HER BERING SEA CRUISE



San Francisco, Oct. T. The revenue
cutter Richard Rush arrived today after
her summers cruise In the Boring sea.
She left for the north early in May last
and since then she has been keeping a
watchful eye on the sealing fleet to pre-
vent any infraction of the international
law regarding the taking of seals and also
the national law in regard to the import
alton of liquor into Alaska. The Rush
erused almost continuously about the
eastern part of the sea while the Commo-
dore Perry, Thomas Corwin and the Grant
went further west.
During the season there were 60 sealing
schooners in Boring sea and the cutters
were kept busy overhaullng them. The
schooners E. B. Marvin and Beatrice of
Victoria, the Louis Olsen of San Fran
cisco and the Shelby of Puget sound
were seized for violating the sealing law
and sent home. All of them were charged
with using firearms in capturing seals
instead of spears as provided by the In
ternational agreement. The officers of the
Rush say that the seasons catch will
be only about 10000 skins, about 10000 less
than last year.
