HEROES OF CUM~ocK MINE.
Rescuing w ork OF Evan ~. Davis ard
his Noble Band.

TO the Editor Through the almost
impenetrable gloom which has hung
like a pail upon this community for
the past forty-eight hours the heroic
sacrifices of man for his felloW-man
come as a silver lining to the cloud.
Inspired by morbid curiosity the
scene of every calamity is usually in
tested by creatures in human form
who not only are indisposed to lend Il
helping hand but whose presence ma
terially retards those whose true man
hood prompts them to incur any risk,
no matter how great, for the relief OF
their fellow man. The scene of the
recent terrible disaster at Cumnock
was no exception to this rule.
Tire enterprise which induced you
to send a special reporter through
whom your readers could learn full
particulars, was to be commended, but
il is unfortunate that he should have
been led to over look the one fearless
man who, daring death for his com
renean depths where the terrors of fire.
after the explosion and for thirty-siX
consecutive hours led relays of EN-
pIoYees and volunteers into the subter-
raean depths where the terrors of FIRE
damp added to the horrors of a verita-
BILE catacOmb, where he remained un-
til every victim of the frightful acci-
dent had been brought to the surface.
Wanting not his own glory, modest in
his bravery, intrepid in the face of
death, the one hero of the hour was,
Evan II. Davis, mine-foreman.
1t is far from the desire of the writer
to detract from any of the few who so
unselfshly braved the perils of rescue;
each and every one whose labors have
through these perilous hours been con-
secrated to his fellow man will receive
a recompense beyond our finite power
10 award, but every one of those will
proudly acknowledge the bravery of
their leader that they were privileged
to follow.
Mr. Geo. +. Cant. whose connection
with the company as superintendent
commenced with the present month,
not only competent mining engineer
but true and noble hearted gentle
man, has done all in his power to allie
viate the sufferings of the injured, as
sauge the grief of widowed and or
phaned and recovery of the unfortun-
ate victims. With duties calling him
simultaneously from the bottom of the
mine and the surface, he was self-pos-
sessed at all times and while most
creditable filing his official position
he inspired in the hearts of the dis
tressed his sincere desire to contrib
ute to their comfort by all means at
his command. 1t was only to-day that,
to the writer, he commended the BRAY
cry of Mr. Davis, the underground fore
man, whose valued efforts he consider
ed could not be over-estimated.

bills are emergency bills which should
be passed at once, if at all.

IS TdE sTR4THNEvIs LOST?
Believed to be Wrecked of the Coast
of fAiaSka.

FORT WASHINGTON, Wash, Dec.
23.-The fate of the oriental steamer
Strathnevis and 100 people aboard still
remains mystery. 1t has been thir-
ty-four days since she was last spoken,
and was then about eight hundred
miles west of Cape Flatter, under two
small leg of mutton sails slowly MAX
ing her way eastward.
Since then two of the widest and
severest storms of the season have been
experienced in the North Pacific The
British flagship Royal Arthur, with her
powerful search light covering a dis
tance of fifteen miles on either side,
put in a week cruising along the north
ern coast without discovering any
signs of the lost steamer. The only
steamer prosecuting the search is the
Danube, of Victoria.
The general opinion among marin
ers is that the Strathnevis has gone
ashore on the southeast coast of
Alaska. In that event the sufferings
and fatalities of the sealing schooner
George Il. White. which went ashore
on Wood Island last April, when eleven

The continued absence of the Danube
is the only hope held out for the safety
of the passengers and crew of the
Strathnevis. 1t is argued that if the
vessel has gone ashore off the Alaska
coast some word would have been re-
ceived before now The fuel aboard
the Danube must be nearly exhausted.

NO MORE BONDS JUSV NOW.
The President will Await the Action
OF Congress.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.--lt can be
stated on authority. that the rumor
which has gained some currency to the
effect that the President had decided
to announce another bond issue at once
reached at cabinet meeting yester-
day, is without any foundation in fact,
The only members of the cabinet who
saw the President yesterday were Sec
retary Lamont who had just returned
TO the city and called to pay his res
poets, and later in the day Secretary
Olney and Secretary Carlisle. The
general situation was discussed in
formally, but the question of an imme-
diate issue of bonds was not consider
ed. Indeed it is stated that in view of
the Presidents very recent message to
Congress, asking for legislation, which
might render another issue unneces-
sary, it would be scant courtesy to
that body to anticipate its negative ac-
tion before an opportunity had been
given it to comply with the Presidents
recommendation. The President has
himself repeatedly stated, however,
that he would protect the public cred
it at whatever cost should the necessi-
ties of the situation require heroic ac-
ton, but at the present moment it is
argued such necessities have not ar
riyen.
