Democratic Election Beard of Kentucky
40 Decides.

Frankfort Ky, Dee. S.--All pretense
of a fight for the certificate of election
as governor has been given up by the
Goebel people, and whether IL contest
will be made in the Legislature Is real
ly vet 10 be determined. 1t VIII de-
pend very largely upon the wording or
the opinion which Commissioners Ell
lis and Pryor will hand down at 10
o'clock tomorrow morning. 1t implies
til at the c1mmi Siorers believe fraud was
committed which might invalidate the
election. did they as canvhssing
board have the legal right to go behind
the certified returns, it Is almost cer-
tain that n contest Will be made. Oth-
erwise IL is uncertain.
The other Democratic candidates for
the minor offices on the state ticket,
acting on the belief that the commits
sioners' opinion will contain implica-
tions OF fraud, have already decided to
fight before the state contesting board
for the positions to which they believe
themselves entitled They held several
conferences during the day, but it was
not definitely determined until o'clock
in the afternoon to make the contest.
Commissioners Ellis and Pryor were
busy all day writing their opinion, and
it was dark before Mr.. Ellis, who did

task. Neither he nor Judge Pryor made
any denial of the fact that they would
decide that Taylor is entitled to the
certificate. They would not discuss
the matter, but tacitly admitted it was
true.
Commissioners Ellis and Pryor sign
ed the majority report. in which they
held, as board of canvassers, they
have no right to go behind the returns
Of the county boards. that their duties
are purely ministerial as canvassers,
and that the face of the returns rs re-
ceiyed by them from the counties show
the election of the Republican state
ticket
Accordingly. the report says, certi-
ficates of election We're ordered issued
to each candidate thereon. Commis-
sioner PoynrZ presents minority re-
port, which he closes by saying:
Il am unwilling to certify fraud and
to turn Kentucky over to the control of
the bayonet. Gatling gun and fraudu-
lent tissue ballots
Extensive preparations are being
made to inaugurate Taylor next Tues

KILLED BY EXPLOSION.
Thirty-Two Coal Miners Lose Their Lives
In WmshingtOn

Carbonado, Wash, Dec. 0.-Shorty
before IL 40 o'clock yesterday forenoon
this coal mining village was stunned
with the first report of Il terrific suDter-
rnncan explosion in the mine OF the
Carbon Hill Coal Company, the tunnels
of which run miles under the town.
There was an ominous rumbling,
smothered sound for n few moments
and then 1t ceased abruptly. The peo-
pie knew Mt once what this meant and
stood around with blanched faces.
Apprehensions of some fearful dis
nster were confirmed in n little while
with information that the morning
shift in tunnel No. had been caught
in an explosion of fire damp. Between
seventy and eighty men were Mt work
in the mine at the time and the belief
was that all must have been killed, as
there was no chance of escape. Those
who were not killed outright would be
hemmed in by the falling walls and
timbers and suffOcated by the gasses
and smoke before any opportunity Of
relief could come.
Details of the disaster are meagre,
rs Superintendent Davis and Foreman
Jonah Davis of the day shift are now
down in the mine engaged in the res
cue. The number of men employed In
the first day shift was seventy-two.
Their hours are from o'clock n. IN.
to 3 p. m. The explosion occurred be-
tween 10 and II o'clock. us near us
can be ascertained. Jonah Davis, the
foreman, escaped unhurt, and besides
him about twenty Fins. Most of the
men are Welsh and several of these
also escaped. but the turned and went
back into the mine in the hope of be
ing able to rescue those still supposed
to be alive.
The total number of men in the un-
fortunate shaft was scvcnty-siX, Of
whom forty-four are alive all of them
having escaped or been rescued.

who has had charge of party making
trails in the Yukon country for the
past three months, has returned. The
special object of his undertaking north
was to make trails along the Yukon

erto been the invariable attendants Of
such expeditions. To minimize these
Inconvenience McArthur's party cut
1ut 120 miles of trails, while the Yu-

A man in Pennsylvania, who was
recently discharged of his debts as
bankrupt, under the law, afterward
made application to the judge of the
United States District court to have
the sheriff restrained from selling his
property, saying that at least two
thousand dollars more could be re-
allied on 1t if it were disposed of by
trustees sale. The court asked what
difference it made to him, since the
proceeds from the sale would go to his
creditors and not TO him. His reply
was notable: My religious feelings
will not permit me TO accept my dis
charge in bankruptcy as releasing me
from my moral obligation to pay in
full all my debts. If this property is
sold for two thousand dollars less than
1t would bring at trustees sale 1
shall have just that much more to
pay" The judge commended the debt
or's sense of honor.

Manila, Dec 9.-There was cOnsid-
cradle relief in Manila when the news
was received to-day that General
Youngs small force had arrived safely
at Vigan. province of South Ilocos,
December 9th. Anxiety has been felt
for General Young and the garrison at
Vigan since it was known that Gen
eral Tino had n large aggressive body
of insurgents operating in the vicinity.
General Tino made stand In tile
mountain pass between Naryacan and
San Quinto. The natural strength of
the position was augmented by trench
es and pitfalls. The fight lasted five
hours. General Young had thfef com
panies of the Thirty-fourth infan ry
under Lieutenant Colonel Robert
Howe, and two troops of the Third
cavalry, Captain Swigart command
ing and troops under Captain Chase.
He was reinforced during the fight by
Colonel Luther Il. Hare, with a bat
talon of the Thirty-third en- route to
Vigap.
The town of Bontoc towards which
Aguinaldo, with his body guard, iG
said to be retreating. lies in the mGun-
tain Businesses about fifty-five or sixty
miles southeast of Vigan. If this last
report as to Aguinaldo's whereabouts
is true 1t indicates that he has been
headed off to the northward for the
first time. and is being compelled to
retrace his steps towards the south. II
he is striving to regain his old strong
hold In Cavite province, his chances of
success are very slight. Directly in
his line of march is a considerable
American force at Bayonbong, To the
westward of that point is Wheaton's
force, and to the east of Bayonbong is
an almost impossible mountain range.
So with Young behind him: with Colo
mel Hare close in his rear, and his
front obstructed, the War Department
officials feel that Aguinaldo mas little
chance of escaping to the southwark.
Major Bachelor is said to be making
rapidly for Aparri. about the only port
on the extreme north end of the island,
so MS to reduce the outlet in thai dlrec-
tion. The best chance remaining to
Aguinaldo is believed TO be to abandon
the escort of 800 now travelling with
him, in wlGch case he could easily III
sure his peSsonal escape in, disguise.

Reports from the West Indies state
that Jamaica has just recovered from
what are termed the seasonal rains
answering to the Indian monsoon. For
days the island has been deluged. from
thirty to forty inches of rain falling
in various parts in the course of four
days. Many lives have been lost, peo-
pie being washed away by the tor
rental gullies and swollen rivers. Dry
water courses in a day became raging
torrents mile wide. Bridges have
been swept away in many places, rail-
way communication is suspended ow-
ing to innumerable landslips, the cleo
trio tramway system in Kingston has
been SO badly cut up that it will not
run for some time, and the roads have
been everywhere torn to pieces by the
raging gullies. The seaport town OF
Savanna-la-M Mar was flooded for days,
and communication was only possible
by means of canoes. Many coastwise
vessels have been wrecked, and sew
eral steamers from America were a
day or two late in consequence of hur.
ricane weather. The crops, especially
the bananas, which are Jamaicas prin.
cipal export to the United States, have
been everywhere destroyed and acute
distress is likely to result In some
parts of the island for time. The
heavy rains Will. however, prove gem
orally beneficial.

London. Dec. 2-Gcneral Forester
Walker has sent the following dis
patch. dated at o'clock last (Friday)
evening, to the war office from Cape
Town:
Telegraph and railway communi-
cation to Modder river has been re-
opened. A battery of field artillery and
a battalion of infantry We're dis
patched from Modder river against
Commandant Prinz LOos' force of L.
600 Beers, with one gun, who had de-
stroyed the railway. Our losses We're
fourteen in wounded.
Belmont has been strengthened by
infantry and two guns, and n cavalry
regiment and troops from Naaupoort
occupied Arundel Thursday.
Some interesting light is thrown on
the position of affairs along the west
ern frontier by dispatch issued by
Boer agency last evening in Berlin.
The dispatch says:
"Commandant Prinz LOos' force Is
near Jacobsdal. between Modder riv-
er and Riet river. General Cronje is
still on north bank of Modder river,
his rear being protected by fortified
positions at Spyfontein. The hills be-
tween Modder river and Spyfontein
and those between .Jacobsdal and Riet
river are occupied by Beers. Com
mandant Delarey's force is stationed
between Gras Pan and Honey Nest
Kloof"
If this Berlin dispatch be correct
and 1t is especially significant when
Judged in connection with General
Forester Walkers advices to the war
otiice-there must he some $4,000 Beers
around Lord Methuen. who is believed
to have 900 men. Kimberley. how
ever possessing an armored train. cnn
materially assist Methuen by harrass-
ing the Beers from the rear.
