Strata

The Marcy Vein is split into two members
at the bottom of this bore hole with two and
one-half feet Of rock between them. 1t is
here shown that the bore hole passed through
l46 feet of sand, while the Twin Shaft was
only sunk through "a feet inches of sand, a
difference of one hundred and eleven feet,
ten inches We believe this difference in
thickness of sand deposit is due to the fact
that the bore hole is closer to the he'd of the
Susquehanna river The cross section shows
the location of the bore hole to be two thous-
and seven hundred and seventy-fve feet
north of the Twin Shaft and five hundred
feet east of the Susquchanna river opposite
Scovclls Island, as shown on the horizontal
map,

General and the commission on July 9Th that

Minister Ransom on Mexico.

CRY OF MEXICO, Sept. 26 United States
Minister Il insom says he has been unin-
tentionally misrepresented in an alleged
interview in which he was made to say he
had advised Americans not to come here,
or to invest capital. He says he has urged
caution, and especially advised against i'm
migration of unsSilled American laborers,
as the country has an abundant supply.
But he has always said that he could not
advise any worthy citizen of the United
States to leave that country, one Of good
law and good institutions to go into any
foreign country. He believes Mexico has
II good government, affording protection,
and its stability was becoming more APP

NEW HAVEN, Sept 28 The Yale News
has the following editorial commenting
on the disturbance at the Bryan meeting
here on Thursday: "The News must dep
recate the spirit of horse play-this is the
true light in which the animus must be
regarded-which prompted the demonstra-
ton at yesterdays political meeting. The
action Of Yale men presentp plainly showed
a lack of respect for the dignity of the
speaker as public man, everything po-
litical aside, and thoughtful and fair
minded consideration will unanimously
condemn the exhibition, irrespective of
party ofliliation"

in which ffty-eight lives were lost, and the
great interest manifested not only by the

of perusing the report in full
The commission was composed Of Mine
Inspectors William Stein, of town; Edward
Rodcrick of Scranton, and Edward Brennan,

weeks of lahorious, diligent and conscien-
tious work 1t is exhaustive in every detail,
aud apparently everything that the public
has wished for as To the cause, effect and
responsibility for the disaster has been given
in its entirety aud without color.
The commission spent two weeks ia exam
ing mine officials and employees, with the aid
tor Attorney General Mccormick for the
purpose Of throwing all the light possible
upon the cause of the disaster, and at great
personal risk the Inspectors entered the i'll
fated mine ms far as human beings dared in
search of information that would enable
them 10 formulate their report iu "a manner
satisfactory TO the public. The commission
Notwithstanding the criticism Of q few pre-
vious To the issuing of the report, deserve

excellent report, but also for the willingness
with which they responded TO the call of Tia,
Governor aud performed the duties con

worked, aud also u tracing showing the plan
.of mining coal from groups Of the breast
