NINE DISASTER.
Fifty Persons Killed by an Explosion
in a French CoIliery.

Fifty Persons Killed by an Explosion
in a French CoIliery.
PARIS, Feb. Am explosion of fire damp
is reported from Mont Ceau Les mines, De-
partment of Saone ct Loire. Thirty persons
are believed to have been killed in the mine
where the explosion took place. Fire broke
out yesterday in the st. Eugene pit, and
while the miners were fighting it an explo-
sion occurred which wrecked the galleries
and the miners. The rescue party
thus far has recovered twenty-one bodies
and has removed from the ruins eight ter
ribly injured miners.
1t is now believed that fifty persons per-
ished in the disaster. The work of rescuing
the living and recovering the bodies of the
dead is greatly impeded, owing to the fact
that the explosion caused the workings to
collapse, filing the galleries with tons of
rock and earth and great quantities of tim
Der that had been used for support. The
bodies that have already been brought to the
surface were so badly burned IIat they
presented the appearance o. slackened Gin
ders. The wounded are in a terripIe cor
dltion, their flesh being frightfully torn.
In addition to their other injuries. They
as they were removed from the pit their
groans caused the hardest of the miners
who heard them to Shudder. The mouth of
the pit is surrounded by waillng women
and children whose husbands and fathers
are entOmbed in the mine.

and insufticiency of their powers He gave
them positive assurances, however, that
whenever China manifested a serious and
sincere desire for peace by confding actual
full powers to Chinese officials, of such a
nature and scope as would render it certain
that the terms which might be agreed upon
would be confirmed by the Chinese govern
ment and would actually be carried out in
good faith, Japan would be prepared to
enter upon new negotiations.
