There was quite a scene at first, it is

Australian Mine ON Fire.

Vancouver, B. c., Oct. 12.-The
steamer Miowera, which arrived from
Australia today, brings an account Of
the fire in the Broken Mill mine on
September IS. Between 6 and Z
O'Clock on that day, the shift bosses in
block Is discovered a portion of the
underground workings to be afame, and
Immediately gave the alarm. The un-
derground drives were found to be full
of smoke, and for long time the blaze
could not be located. Volunteers were
called for from the surface, and, in
charge of mine officers, they went be-
low, spending their energies to get at
the seat of the IRE. Bags of sand, to-
gether with canvas and timber, were
sent down several shafts to form block
AIDES and confine the flames. After q
hard struggle the men were driven
back by the flames, and when the Mion-
vera left the fire was still raging.
Fifty men were overcome by smoke and
heat, three succumbing to the injuries
received.

THE BATTLE OF CANUDOS.
Further Particulars by Way Of Buenoa
Ayres.


New York, Oct. 15.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Buenos Ayres says:
Advices from the Herald's correspond
ent in Rio Janeiro say that details of
the last big battle at Canudos have
reached that city. There is no longer
any doubt of the death of Antonio Con-
seilheiro, the fanatic leader. He was
killed early in the battle, but the fact
of his death did not become generally
known until after the fighting had been
going on for several hours. When they
learned of it, the fanatics, who up to
that time had been fighting savagely,
lost heart and were killed by the hun
dreds.
Conseilheiro's body was found in a
street of Canudos. Around him were
the bodies of about hundred of his
personal guard, who had died in last
desperate fight to save their chief.
The bodies were fearfully hacked and
mutilated. Beside the body of Con-
seilheiro lay an imperial flag, red
cross on a white background.
The capture of the city was accom-
plished by the government troops with
the aid of torch and dynamite.
When the fanatics saw certain defeat
they applied the torch to many houses,
and scores of them rushed in and were
burned to death, preferring that to sur
render. The government troops burned
the remaining houses.
Three thousand of the rebels who es-
capped the awful slaughter at Canudos
have been taken prisoners, and now the
rebellion may be said to be over.

DISTINGUISHED RUSSIAN JURIST
So"r' VIII Sit In Paris Next Year
Briefs of the Two Countries
Being Prepared,

Washington, Oct 15.-The inter-
national court of arbitration, which is
to pass upon the British Venezuela
boundary, was completed by the selec-
ton OF M. Maertens, distinguished
Russian 1urist, as umpire, and arrange
ments are being made for the assem-

late summer Or fall of next year. In
the meantime, the briefs of Great
Britain and Venezuela are being pre-
pared, but none of the papers have yet
been submitted. NJ Maertens will act
not only as umpire, but also as presi-
dent of the court.
The announcement that a European
umpire had been chosen was made in
these dispatches some time since, but
the name had been withheld until the
sanction of the czar could be secured for
M. Maertens' service as arbitrator.
Great Britain and Venezuela each SUBJ
mitted list of distinguished jurists
who would be acceptable to it as UNI

men of Europe, but it is tribute to NJ.
Martens that his was the only one on

REPLY TO SALISBURY.
Sherman Suggests Separate Sealing
Conferences.

Washington, Oct. IA. - Secretary
Sherman has written a reply to the
note of Lord Salisbury, expressing
Great Britain's declination to take part
in a Behring sea conference in which
Russia and Japan will participate.
The essential features of Mr.. Sherman's
reply have been sent by cable to the
British government, and the reply in
full is on its way to the British author
tiles. Lord Salisbury's note OF declin-
alton, it can be now stated, bears date
of October 6, go that the response is
made with promptness.
The answer states that the United
States government views with astonish-
ment the determination of Great
Britain not to participate in a confer
ence including Russia and Japan, and
the statement is made that up to the
23d of last month, the United States
authorities had fully expected that the
conference would proceed with Russia
as we'll as Great Britain present. 1t is
pointed out that, aside from the written
conference which Lord Salisbury has
called attention to, there were verbal
negotiations between Am bassador Hay
and his lordship, in which special
reference was made to the participation
of Russia and Japan. At one of these
verbal exchanges, it is stated. Lord Sal
isbury said he would advise with the
officials of the foreign Office concerning
the subjects discussed, which included
the participation of Russia and Japan.
Subsequently, on July 80, Ambassador
Hay wrote to Lord Salisbury saying the
president hoped to have Russia and
Japan participate in the conference.
In view of these circumstances, the
United States had confidently expected
that Great Britain would take part in
the conference, and that Russia and
Japan would be represented, vita the
approval Of Great Britain.
Besides the foregoing reply, and in
view of the differences which have
arisen, the state departmnt suggests
conference in accordance with the
terms of Lord Salisbury's agreement, as
he CONSTITUTES it, namely, between ex-
perts of Great Britain, the United
States and Canada. This last feature
is now under consideration by the Brit
ish government, it's substance having
been transmitted by cable, but it is not
expected that an answer will be made
until Mr.. Sherman's answer in detail
reaches London.
In the meantime, preparations for
the conference between the United
States, Russia and Japan are proceed
