some 200 men and women working in
the mine when the disaster occurred

entrance, but were driven back by the
suffocating gas that filled the pit. Steps
were at once taken to ventilate the gas
laden pit. 1t was, however, some time
before the people could go into the
shaft. Up to the night of the 18th only
five bodies had been recovered, charred
and with terribly injured limbs.
The work of recovering the corpses
was till going on when the steamer
Olympia sailed. Miners sheds have
been changed into big charnel houses,
where the CHASTITY operations of wash

Stone Dock Is Needed.

New York, July ia special from
Washington to the Herald says: Con-
WINGED even more than before of the ne
cessity of a stone dock at the Brooklyn
navy yard by the accident to the tim
Der dry dock No. 2. Admiral Endicott,
chief of the bureau of yards and docks,
will recommend in his annual report
the construction of such a structure. He
will take prompt action to put the dry
dock in good condition again. He pur-
poses to rebuild the entrance with
stone and concrete. When additional
money is obtained the body of the dock
will be similarly treated. By this means
the government will secure a stone and
concrete dock which will accommodate
vessels as large as the Texas. Admiral
Endicott will make a personal inspec-
tion of the dock From the newspaper
reports, he judges that at least 10
months time would be necessary to
make the repairs.

Smaller Crops.

Spokane, Wash, July 15.-Reports from
the principal agricultural towns in East
ern Washington and Northern Idaho show
that the acreage of ground sowed to
wheat this year is larger than in 1898. The
reports also show that the crop of wheat
will be smaller by one-third as compared
with the former year. The long-delayed
spring sowing and much wheat winter
killed are the causes.
The fruit crop will also be reduced fully
one-third owing to the late spring. In
some sections the crop is a failure.
