toria, Is. &.

Victoria. 3. c.. Nov. 25.-The opening
of the Bcrlng Sea Claims Commission
witnessed some preliminary fencing be-
tween Hon. Z. c. Peters, senior British
counsel, and Hon. Don NJ. Dickinson,
seniorb counsel for the United States
Formal proceedings were opened and
Chandler =. Anderson, of New York,
was chosen secretary. The rules of pro-
cedure were then taken up. Both sides
agreed on all but one and here they
were diametrically opposed. Mr.. Peters
wanted the Canadian claims dealt with
singly, but to this Mr.. Dickson strongly
objected, arguing that the British seal
crs should put in all their claims and
then the United States authorities would
submit their defense at San Francisco.
Mr.. Peters replied that it might not be
necessary to sit at San Francisco. The
point was finally settled in favor of the
British contention. Sixteen British
claims, with a total of Si59, 800, and with
interest added from the time of seizure,
were filed yesterday, and ten more will
follow to-day.

Prince, Utah. Nov. 25.--The ST. Louis

exploded by the combustion of dust and
gas at $3.50 yesterday afternoon.
Two miners were killed and three

~ TERRIFIC EXPLOSION.
The explosion was terrific.
The report was heard at Vernal, thirty
miles away.
The buildings at Fort Duchesne were
badly shaken and many windows
broken. :
The mine took fire, and owing to the
intense heat 1t was impossible to get near
1t.
The flames shot 300 feet into the air.
1t Is not likely that the bodies of the
miners will ever be recovered, as they
are doubtless cremated.
