Situation In the Brooklyn strike Is
Ontlined.
BROOKLYN, Jan. a6. Both sides of
the electric street railway strike show
q determined front. On the Court
street line, 20 cars are being run at ir-
regular intervals, each guarded by
from two to eight policemen. The
strikers or their friends have obstruct-
ed the tracks by upsetting barrels of
ashes on the tracks. The rubbish was
cleared away by laborers from the
power house on the Flatbpsh avenue
line and mail car was sent ont at 7:24
o'clock. It was preceded by six nount-
ed policemen, while eight unmounted
police rode in the car. It passed
through a district where the strikers
are reported to be in more reckless
mood than anywhere else. but the man.
ner In which IL was guarded evidently
overawed any who might have been in
clined to lawlessness, for no attempt
was made to stop it.

SCORES ARE DROWNED
Terrible Disaster in an English Col
liery by Water From an Old
Working.
OVER A HUNDRED RESCUED,
but From Sixty to a Hundred More

Perished.

LONDON, Jan. TO. Throughout che
night relays of men have worked at the
Diglake colliery. Audley. North Stat.
fordshire, where large number of
miners were entombed about noon By
sudden rush OF waters from the old
workings. One hundred and fifty men
and boys employed below were res.
cned. OF the remainder ii Is thought
SO were in the lower workings and are
thought to be drowned. From the time
the disaster occurred, the rescu ers have
been doing their utmost to save those
who remain alive and to recover the
bodies of the drowned The work OF
rescue, however, has not made much
progress, and it Is now believed there
are between 30 and 100 men and boys
in the mine. The water so constantly
ductuates that the rescurers are well
nigh discouraged. They found the
bottom of the shaft choked with piles
of timber swept there by the torrents
az water which poured into the mine.
AL this timber must be removed before
the entombsd men can be reached
But the ceaseless pumping does not
seem to materially affect the stage OF
water,
The greatest fear is expressed that
the waters viii SO undermine the gal-
leries that there viii be cavein. The
rescuers work with difficulty, standing
in four feet of water, and only fifteen
yards progress was made during the
night Hundreds of miners have ar
rived at the Diglake colhery from other
collieries, and all volunteer to 70
down and assist in the work of rescue.
