MANY MINERS ARE ENTOMBED
One Hundred Coal Miners in Pennsyl-
vania Buried Alive By An
Explosion.
DISTRESSING SCENES AROUND The MINE
Rescuers Are Hard at Work, But it
Will Be Many Hours Before Buried
Men Are Reached-Doubtless
Men Are All Dead.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, June 29.--The excite-
ment at the Twin shaft in Pittston,
where nearly 100 miners were entombed
yesterday, is very great. The wives and
children of those entombed stand near
the opening to the death chamber, urging
the rescuers to greater efforts.
Practically nothing has been accom-
plished toward the recovery Of the men,
There is scarcely an old miner about the
opening of the mine who does not believe
the men are all dead.
The resculng party, which went into
the mine at o'clock, has come out. The
foreman reports that the timbering in
the mine is going on as rapidly as possi
BILE. He said that the work would be nec-
essarily slow owing to the danger of fall
ing rocks loosened by the explosion. 1t
is hardly possible that actual digging
will begin before late this afternoon.
If the slope is not completely choked
up the rescuers may reach the men within
the next twenty-four hours; otherwise it
may be two or three days. The rescuing
party Is 1900 feet from where the cave-in
occurred.
Fire Boss Johns said: "It is my belief
that the air current in the Twin shaft was
shut off the moment the cavern occurred.
Then, if the men we're not killed by fall
ing rock and coal, they may have lived
some minutes before being suffocated, or,
if the space where they were was left
clear, gas may have accumulated and ex-
ploded, which would of course have
burned the men to DEATH"

BITTEN BY A POLECAT.
Three Campers Have n Disagreeable
Experience with "HydrOphObia
Cat in Grant County.

The Silver City Enterprise relates the
following thrilling story: On Monday,
June 8, a party of cattlemen were cam ped
on Diamond creek. In the party we're
Vic Culberson, Zach Redding and young
gentleman named Skinner. Redding and
Culberson slept together and Skinner
slept clone, close by. Sometime after
the party had gone to sleep, Reddlng and
Culberson were aroused by the yells of
Skinner who said that he had been bitten
through the wrist by a polecat He
threw the beast from him and it i'm
meliately attacked Zach Redding, biting
him on the cheek and hanging on till he
pulled it away, tearing the flesh in doing
81. The vicious animal then jumped at
Culberson's head, but he covered him
self with the bed-cothes; it tried to bite
at small uncovered part of his head.
Redding kicked and struck at the furious
animal until it ceased it's attack on Cul-
berson and ran off in the darkness.
These small polecats are often called
hydrophobia cats, and that dread disease
frequently follows their bite. 1t is to be
hoped that no evil results will happen to
the gentlemen bitten.

Sheriff Rafael Agullar arrived from
Mora county last night and delivered to
Superintendent Bergman at the peni-

As to the cases against exSheriff Aga

der of the Indian witness Rael, Sheriff
Aguilar states that the grand jury retired
indictments in both cases which
resulted in an order by Chief Justice
Smith for the holding of Abeytia without

county jail would scarcely be safe place
for him, applied for and secured permis-
sion to be taken to Las Vegas, where he
is now confined in the San Miguel county

government of the United States must
raise enough money to meet both current
expenses and the increasing needs. Fail
ure to porsue this policy has compelled
the government to borrow money, in time
of peace, to sustain its credit and to pay
it's daily expenses. This policy should
bereversed and that, too, as speedily as
possible.
SUFFICIENT REVENUE MUST BE PROVIDED.
If sufficient revenues are provided for
the support of our government there will
be no necessity for borrowing money and
increasing the public debt. The party,
that supplied by legislation the vast rev.
enues for the conduct of our greatest war
and promptly restored the credit of the
country at its close, and that from its
abundant revenues paid off large share
of the debt incurred in this war, and that
resumed specie payments and placed our
paper currency upon sound and endur-
ing basis, can be safely trusted to pre-
serve both our credit and currency with
honor, stability and inviolability. The
American people hold the financial honor
of our government as sacred ms our flag
and can be relied upon to guard it with
the same slsepless vigilance. They hold
its preservation above party fealty and
have often emonstrated that party ties
avail nothing when the spotless credit
of our country is threatened.
GOLD STANDARD PLATFORM SWALLOWED.
The money of the United States and
every kind or form of it, whether of
paper, silver or gold, must be as good as
the best in the world. 1t must not only
be current at it's full face value at home,
but must be counted at par in any and
every commercial center of the globe.
The dollar paid the farmer, the wage
Garner and the pensioner must continue
forever in purchasing and debt paying
power equal to the dollar paid any
government creditor. The platform
adopted by the Republican national con-
vention has received my careful considera-
ton and has my unqualified approval.
1t is matter of qualification to me, as l
am sure it must be to you, and to he-
publicans everywhere, and to all our
people, that the expressions of its decla-
ration of principles are so direct, clear
and emphatic"
