Seattle Wash, April ga POst-In-
telligencer special from New Whatcom
says of the Blue Canyon mine disaster:
THE disaster was undoubtedly caused
by an accumulation of f1re-damp, which
was exploded by blast in the breast
Of a gangWay. The faces of the men
are badly burned, but a majority Of
those who were working in the rooms
off the gangWay were only slightly dis
figured by the fire. Physicians and min
ers say that the men working in the
breast must have been killed by the
shock of the explosion, while the others
succumbed to the Tre-damp as they
slid down from the rooms TO the gang
way, then filled with deadly gas. This
gangway is reached by a tunnel T3o
feet long and the distance from the in
tersection Of the gangWay to the breast
where the explosion took place is about
1000 feet. The main airshaft reached
the gangway about 100 feet from the
tunnel and air is supplied by water
power, which was not affected by the
explosion.

WAR STORIES FROM THE ORIENT
Attitude Of the press-pIans for Anrihii
alton OF the IlHancSc.

Washington, April 9.-Japanese mail ad-
vices up to IarcIl 16 show that the native
press in the peace mission of LII Hung
Chang occupies leading place. AS they
attach much Importance to the present
embassy the papers state their IDEAS on
the terms of peace more definitely than
heretofore. While some journals are mod
crate in their demands, others declare III
unequiyocal terms that peace is impossi-
Bile until the flag Of the rising sun floats
over Pekin. The Mainichi, in a rather
philanthropic manner, announces the an
nexation of part of continental China,
not merely for the two usually advanced
reasons Ito secure the independence OF
Corea and maintenance of peace IN the
easD, but for two others, viz; it would be
contrary to the principles OF humanity
to suffer Chinese in the newly occupied
districts to fall again under the barbarous
rule Of China, and it would be regrettable
in the interests of Chinese in general if,
after the war, they did not have enlight-
enei Chinese neaf by to instruct them IN
the arts and sciences of civilization.
"An excellent scheme for annihilation
OF Japanese" submitted by a sage Of high
repute, is produced from a Chinese news
paper. The scheme was originated in
answer to a proclamation OF the governor
of Nanking, who ordered all those under
MS 1uTlSIlCliOl ~ NeFiSI ociAiS ~2ShAS-itE
for the destruction Of all japanese. The
scheme is this: Every soldier should be
armed with a sword, a long bamboo pole,
and bucket OF water. The pole and
bucket should be hurled at the opposing
ranks, SO as to wet their powder and
render guns useless. The bamboo poles
should be thrust between the legs OF the
enemy and given a twist, which would
cause the japanese to topple over IN con-
fusion. After that it would be an easy
matter to finish off the dripping and pros-
trate foes with swords" The governor
drove the pseudo sage from his presence
in a fit Of rage.
Evidently the stoutest resistance the
Japanese expeditionary army as 1t ad-
vances on Pekin will meet, says one of the
Japanese papers, will be by the Moha1n-
nedan soldiers of China. This was indl-
Gated by the conduct of General Tsao at
the battle Of Phyong Yang. He acquitted
| himself as a true general should, while
| Yei and the other Chinese generals dis
| sraced themselves by pusilanimity. Gen
eral Tsao's conduct at PhyonS Yang ard
| Admiral Ting's at Wei-Hai-Wei We're, tae
| paper says, the solitary bright spots IN
| Chinas dark record during the war. Tsao
was the patriarch Of Chinese Mohamme-
| dams A story has been told that when the
/ report of Tsao's death reached his native
| district his wife declared she would col:
! lect some 5000 Amazons and avenge the
| death of her husband and the Mahonme-
! dams shared her resolution.

Vain Attempts to Throw Cold Water on

the Free Silver Movement.
Chicago. April 9.--Ben Gable, member Of
the democratic central committee, does
not see that any good end will be attain
ed by the silver convention which the
state central committee has set for June
t. THE manner in which this convention
is called is wholly unprecedented in the
history Of the democratic party said MI.
Gable. THE cause which the democratic
party may we'll espouse at this time is
that of government control Of railways
telegraphs and street car lines. That VIII
some day be achieved.
Under the prevailing hard times, l
suppose the result Of the June convention
may be favorable to silver. Yet [ believe
that one year hence the party would hes
itate n taking a pronounced stand for
silver. When times are bad men are nat
urally radical But the times show signs
Of Improvement. In prosperous times
men are conservative and action on so
grave an issue as the silver question
should not be hastily taken
CREATES A DEMAND FOR SILVER.
London. April 9.-The Standard today
says silver was in good demand, owing
to the news that Japan's terms for peace
with China stipulated for the opening OF
large section Of China to foreign trade.
1t ls believed this will lead to an increased
demand for silver in the east.
