be had from them.

the accident
The cave-in began thirty-fve feet
from the top Of the shaft and the deb
gAs mas htied great part Of the shaft.
1t is believed that II will take a week
or ten days to rescue the entombed min
ers. AS the shaft on the Anna Lee is
ABOUT goo feet deep. 1t can be readily
seen that great amount OF work will
be required not only TO clear the shaft
IN order to make a passage to the levIs.
but also TO make way into the sta tions
and then TO the steps which are also in
cluded in the cave-in
The cause Of the disaster cannot ha
definitely stated but 1t Is known that
the timbers were insufficient to sustain
the great weight, bob lateral and per-
pendicular, TO which they have been
subjected.
About two weeks ago the shaft on the
Lee shrank TO such an extent near one
OF the stations about the middle of the
smart mat the cage, upon which there
were three men, would not pass down.
The engineer reversed and brought the
men back. This was the first indica-
ton that the workings were closing In
and efforts were made to remedy the
trouble.

FEARS FOR THE MIowERA
Lie Buoy OF the Missing Vessel Picked Up
Inside Cape EIattery.

Inside cape fIattery.
Port Townsend, Wash, Jan. 4.-Fears
for the safety of the Australian steamer
Miowera are greatly intensified today
by the finding of life buoy ON Waddah
island, just inside of Cape Flattery.
The bouy bore the mark of the Miowera
and was picked up by an old Indian
woman, having drifted in from the sea.
Though careful search was made along
the beach for other identifications of
wreckage, nothing was found. A heavy
storm and tremendous ocean surfs for
bid effective search being made. A mile
and a nalf below Cape Flattery on the
beach Indians found a boat belonging
to the steamship Strathnevis II was
the boat in which Purser> Mcdonald,

The boat had a large hole stove in her
bottom and bore evidence of hard usage

Arrangements Being Made to Visit the
Truckee Ice Carnival.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-The Ex-
ecutive Committee of the California
Press Association met at the Press
Club rooms this evening to consider
the matter of arranging an excursion
to the Truckee Ice Carnival. There
were present: E. B. Willis of the Rec
ord-Union," T. G. Daniels of the Ala
media Argus" c. F. Montgomery of
the Antioch Ledger" G. M. Francis
Of the Napa Register" Raleigh Bar
car of the yacaville Reporter" and w.
d. Pennycook of the Vallejo "Chron-
icle'
The committee determined that the
opportunity of seeing the sights of the
ice festival should not be missed, and
decided that If enough members of the
association to make a good excursion
party signified their intention of at
tending, the trip would be made on or
about January 22d.
The plans are to rendezvous at Sac
ramento, whence the party would go to
Truckee in a special train Of Pullman
cars, remaining day or longer, as the
party saw fit
The people of Truckee have extended
the Press Association a most cordial in
vitation, and the inducements are such
that the committee is enthusiastic over
the proposed jaunt, and it is safe to
say now that it will be made. The COM
mittee will meet again on the 10Th to
complete arrangements.

MICHAEL DAVITT.
What He Would Like This Govern
ment to Do.


NEW YORK, Jan. 2.-Michael Davitt
was seen by a reporter in this city this
morning. He is on his way home to
Ireland, after nine months tour in the
Australian colonies.
In reply to a question about the Eng
lish attack on the TransvaaI republic
the Irish member said: 1.-THE credit
for the countermanding of the invasion
of the Transvaal is not due to Chamber
lain and Salisbury, in my humble opin-
ion, but to Cleveland and Olney The
menacing position which Uncle Sam
took on the Venezuelan question has
caused England to condemn a free
bocting expedition, which otherwise
would have the political blessing of that
pre-eminent land grabbing nation
America ought, in my judgment, to do
three things on the first available op-
portunity-that is, admit the republic
of Hawaii into the family of the United
States communities; second, recognize
the Cuban patriots, and thirdly, instruct
her Admirals in the Mediterranean to
fling shell or two into the Sultan's
palace at Constantinople the next time
single Christian of any nation is muir
dered by the Turk This act would tell
the cowardly Christian monarchies of
Europe that there is at least one great
nation of humanity which has no dread
of the infamous Ottoman empire
Action of this kind would plant the
republic of the United States in the
front rank of powers"
