FIRE DAMP EXPLOSION.
Several Miners Lose Their Lives at
Wilkesbarre, Pa.-ReScueTS
Driven Back.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Oct. 29-A terrific
explosion of gas occurred in the South
Wilkesbarre shaft of the Lehigh q
Wilkesbarre Coal company this after
noon. 1t is reported that six were SO
badly burned that they will die.
The mine was not in operation to-
day and only about fifteen men, mostly
repairers, were inside. So great was
the force of the explosion that 1t shook
the surface for miles around. SMOKE
in dense volumes is coming up the smart,
which prevents rescuers from gong
down. The officials are in hope that no
lives have been lost.
The mine is of the most gaseous IN
the anthracite region. Five years ago
seven men persisted in an explosion there
and in 1894 party of New York retail
coal men came near losing their lives
They were just about to enter the mine
when an explosion occurred. The black
damp came up the shaft and the visitors
on the carriage were hoisted out just IN
time.
A party of rescuers entered the mine
shortly before 3 o'clock. They were
headed by William r. Jones and John
Joseph, miners. Jones and Joseph were
overcome by the fire damp and killed.
A second rescue party pushed their way
into the rock tunnel, where they found
the bodies of Joseph Worth, a miner;
James H. Herring, a laborer; William
Lacey, contractor, and Thomas Owens,
a miner

BISMARCK NOT AFRAID.
His Newspaper Organ Continues
to Discuss the Russo-Ger-
man Treaty.

Berlin, Oct. 31.-Prince Bismarck APP
parently is not inundated by the
threats to prosecute him, for his organ,
the Hamburger Nachrichten, today re-
plies to the broad side of the official
Reichsanzeiger of Tuesday last, which
iatimated that the fate which overlook
Count Won Arnim might await those who
disclosed secrets of state.
The Hamburger Nachrichten today
says: THE negotiations of those days
tof Bismarck's tenure of office were no
strict state secrets, but belonged to his
tory. There is no necessity for secrecy
SO far as Germany and the dreibund is
concerned, as the treaty was made solely
in compliance with Russia's wish and
Germany has nothing to be ashamed
of. On the contrary. all peace-loving
Germans have just ground to look back
with satisfaction. 1t is totally untrue
that the treaty implied disloyalty to the
dreibund. The latter even allowed Aus
tria to be neutral in the event of a
French attack on Germany or an unpro-
yoked German attack on Russia. The
whole dreibund could incorporate in it if
Russia was willing and conclude the
same agreement without abandoning it's
main purpose This would tranqullize
all the friends of peace and if there
is any inclination upon the part of Rus
STA, it would be eXpedient to renew the
RuSSO-German treaty.

GERMANY is CAUTIOUS.
Prosecution of Bismarck's News
paper Might Do More Harm
than Good.

London, Oct. pa special from Ber-
lin says that it is understood that the
proposed prosecution Of Prince Bis
marck's organ, the Hamburger Nachrich-
ten, for publishing state secrets has been
abandoned out of fear of the harm such a
step might do to Germany's foreign poll
cy 1t is added, however, that should
stances under which he resigned office
the government will be forced to act,
and It is said it would probably treat
Prince Bismarck in the same manner
that the latter treated Count Won Arnim
Count Won Arnim was arrested in Oc-
tober, 1874, and confined in Berlin for
refusing to give up documents sent to
him as ambassador On account of ILL
ness he was released on bail some three
weeks later, but was again arrested in
about two weeks time. He was tried
in December, 1874, was convicted of
making away with ecclesio-political Gocu-
ments, was acquitted on other charges
and was sentenced to three months i'm
prisonment. He appealed, was tried
again in June, 1875, and verdict was
rendered confirming the sentence.
In November, 1875, it was announced
that Count Won Arnim was to be prose-
cuted for treason in a pamphlet entitled
"Pro Nihilo." published at Zurich. In
January. 1879, the count published 'Quid
Faciamus Nos and in May, 1881, he
died at Nice, as a result, it is said by
Prince Bismarck's enemies, of the prose
cution to which he had been subjected by
the chancellor.

TO MAKE FRANCE SUSPICIOUS.
Reputed Object of Prince Bismarck's
Disclosures.


Paris. Oct 29.-The Figaro, COM
menting on the disclosures made by
Prince Bismarck in the Hamburger
Nachrichten regarding the secret alliance
between Germany and Russia from 1884
to 1890 says: Russia discovered that
the treaty was a veritable delusion for
her and when Prince Bismarck asked
her in 1887 to renew her dec
laration of her neutrality in the
event of the attack upon France, which
was then planning in Germany, Russia
formally refused to do so and thereafter
all the Establishments of Prince Bis
marck only served to increase the friend
ship of France and Russia"
The Matin is of the opinion that the
disclosure of the secret treaty was in
tended to make France suspicious of
Russia and adds that it has had the con-
trary effect.
A dispatch from St. Petersburg to the
Soleil says there has been an important
exchange of views between the French
and Russian ministers of war by which
certain notifications have been effected
in the general plan for the mobilization
and concentration of the FrancoRussia
troops in time of war. The Soleil adds
that the proof of this statement will soon
be seen in number of frontier changes
and the first step is said to have already
been taken by an increase in the number
of Russian dragons.

Constantinople, Oct. 29.-Since the re-
cent visit of the Russian ambassador,
M. De Nelidoff, to the Sultan, and the
long and important audience which fol-
lowed, it is noticeable that there has
been another change for the bettef' in the
attitude of Abdul Hamid and his adj

SHOT At 4 PRIEST.
Two Bullets Fired Into Rev. Q. Zil-
enSkPS House at Stevens
Point.

Stevens Point, Wis, Oct 31.-[Spe-
cial. IAN attempt was made to as
sassinate Rev. Q. Zienski, pastor of ST.
Peters Polish Catholic church, at about
S:15 o'clock last evening, as he was sit
ting in his home on Franklin street, to
which place he had moved since the
burning of the parsonage two weeks ago.
Two shots were fired through WIN
dow in the sitting room, one of which
grazed the head of his housekeeper and
lodged in the wall opposite, while the
other was found in the chimney corner.
No arrests have as yet been made, but
there probably will be before long.
For some time past there has been a
row among the congregation, some be-
lieving that the priest should rule the
entire congregation, while the other side
has contended that board of directors
should be elected which should pass all
laws pertaining to the financial condition
of the parish. Since the church and
parsonage burned the feeling has grown
more bitter. The priest is now on trial
for an assault committed on the jani-
tor.
