Half an Hour Later More Men Would
Have Been In Red Ash Mine.
HINTON, w. Va, March Sit is al
most certainty that AZ lives were lost
in the explosion at the Red Ash mine.
The cause of the explosion is unknown,
but is supposed to have been caused by
a miner entering an unused room in the
mines with an open lamp. There were
AZ men in the mine at the time Of the
explosion, and if it had occurred 20 min
utes later the loss Of life would have
reached $50 or more.

CAMPAIGN IN NATAL.

Butler Pushing His Forces Toward Van
Reenan's Pass-Psace Rumors.
LONDON, March 8.-For lack of news
from Field Marshal Lord Roberts, at.
tention turns to Natal. It is reported
that General Butler has pushed forward
q force along the Harrismith railroad
toward Van Reenan's Pass, using the
railroad freely for communication. It
appears that the Beers intend to take
up strong position in the Biggarsbere
range and contest that and the Glencoe
passes, although it hardly seems likely
that General Butler will attempt to
force these for the present. His plans,
however, are kept almost as secret as
those Of Lord Roberts. While waiting
for the important developments which
are daily expected to occur in the Free
State, rumors Of peace recur. The Sec
ond edition Of The Times con-
tains a dispatch from Cape Town which
says there is a crying need for an ex-
plicit statement by the British ministry
that nothing short of annexation is in
tended in order to "damp the mis-
chievious agitation that is going on un.
der the pretext of demand for peace. -
Buller's Losses Still Come.

tanned by General Buller's forces from
Feb. IA to Feb. ~ shows: Killed, 1923;

GREAT BATTLE IMMINENT.

Boer Foros In Front of Roberts Increasing
Continuously.
LONDON, March 8. Lord Roberts
still pauses in tho neighborhood of Os.
fontein, while stores, remounts and
fresh troops stream toward him from
the Cape. The British position also
continues to improve in the minor
spheres Of the campaign. Natal is clear
Of Beers and Cape Colony is nearly so.
The Beers seemingly are pursuing the
course commended by the strategists
and are concentrating to resist the Brit.
ish main army. Various messages
from correspondents with Lord Roberts
report that the enemy are increasing
continually on his front, extending, as
one correspondent wires, eight miles
and, as another says, eighteen miles.
The lowest estimate of their numbers
gives the Beers from 5000 to 10000,
with smaller bodies moving north and
south of the British lines. Each army
is on both sides Of the Modder river.
Although the

on the tops Of kopjes and appear to be
too far away for inspection, the British
scouts report that they are diligently
using pick and shovel. Military opin-
ion is that their present position merely
screens more easily defended one far
ther back. No one seems able to fathom
Lord Roberts plans, but it is suggested
that he is quite willing to give the Beers
time to assemble all their men in order
to be able to give q sweeping blow more
effectively.

General Harrison contends there is no
occasion for gratitude on the part of
this government towards the British.
He thinks the British were guilty Of in
human practices during the Revolution
ary war and that their attack on this
nation in 1912 had no justification from
any international standpoint, while
their conduct toward the Union during
the Civil war was also reprehenmble.

PAUNCEFOTE's STAY.
why It VIII Prove Acceptable to Both
Nations.


Nations.
LONDON, March 8.-The St. James
Gazette, while declaring that the exten.
sion of Lord Pauncefote's stay at Wesh-
ington as ambassador of Great Britain
is due to the coming presidential cleo
ton, "and all that goes with this re-
curing commotion,' says:
''To Americans, Lord Pauncefote's
stay will be acceptable because he has
achieved the feat of making himself
popular, with success for which there
is no precedent since the first British
minister was accredited to the United
States century and quarter ago. To
us. his continued tenure of Office is ac-
ceptable, because he has pleased the
Americans, and it is highly desirable
from business point of view as well as
grateful to our feelings that they should
continue to be pleased.

PRESIDENTIAL YEARS.

rF'rom the Philadelphia Record
From this time on till the day of the
November election there will be much
writing and talking about supreme
duty" burning issues" and great
crises" Always before a presidential
election one-half of the orators and or
gans insist that the fate of the Republic
hangs upon the choice of the Democrat
ic candidate, while the other half in
Republican victory can avert red ruin.
1t has been even so from the beginning.
But the orators and organs have lied
If Mckinley were bent on establishing
an empire on the ruins of the Repub-
lie, and If Bryan were determined to
imperil the business prosperity of the
country by changing the standard of
value, neither the one nor the other
could accomplish his object
Every four years since 17SS the coun-
try has made choice of new president
and has emerged safe and smiling from
the organic and oratorical perils that
beset it. 1t will emerge this year-no
matter what the name of the next presi-
dent may be-greater. stronger, frmer-
footed among the nations of the world
than ever before.
The wise man Will not let his politics
interfere with his business because a
few professionals who make a business
of politics are going up and down the
land and vociferating.

TO PROTECT OUR HARBORs.
Uncle Sam Will Have Six Submarine
Boats Built.

New York, July ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Under the plan adopted by the navy
department submarine boat protection
will be supplied to every important har-
Dor of the United States. In the con-
tract for the six submarine boats now
being prepared by Judge Advocate Gen
eral Lemly, the Holland company will
be required to deliver the vessels at GER
tain designated harbors. Two of the
boats are to be built on the Pacific coast
and four on the Atlantic coast. The Hol-
land will be retained at Newport. One
of the new vessels will be stationed at
Boston, another at New York, a third at
Philadelphia and a fourth at Charles
ton, S. c. The Plunger will be stationed
a Hampton Roads for the defense of
Norfolk, Richmond and Washington
and, if improvements can be made so
that the vessel can operate in a seaway,
of Baltimore.
On the Pacific coast one of the boats
will be stationed at San Francisco and
the second will be assigned to Portland,
Ore, or Puget Sound-probably the lat
ter.

WHERE OUR NAVY Is.
Few Ships Undergoing Repairs
Gould Send Many Vessels to China

New York, July ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Should the American navy be needed
for active service in Chinese waters, it
will be able to do effective work. There
are but few ships undergoing repairs,
and work on them is being steadily
pushed so that they Will be ready for
service in a comparatively short time.
The San Francisco is now at the Nor
folk navy yard, the Olympia at Boston;
the Boston at Mare Island, and the Ra-
leigh at Portsmouth. The Marblehead
and Detroit are undergoing repairs, and
the Montgomery is under orders to pro-
coed to New York, where she will be re-
paired. Orders have been given by the
navy department for putting in condi-
ton for immediate service all the tor
pedO boats. 1t is said in naval circles
that If all the vessels now being re-
paired were needed they could rapidly
be put in condition for commission. The
Alliance will be converted into a sailing
ship, provided the board of inspection
and survey, ordered to survey the ship,
approves. The cruiser Atlanta and the
gunboat Bancroft will soon be recon-
missioned.
Rear Admiral Charles o'Neil. chief
of ordnance, is arranging for the ship
ment of 3-inch field guns and Colt ma
chine guns to China. There were re-
Gently bought fifty 3-inch field guns
and ammunition and twenty-five one
Founders. The latter are intended for
sub-calibre practice, but the former
will be valuable in China. Some will
be shipped, probably with thirty Colt
machine guns, by one of the golfers I'M
der order to proceed to the far east
1t is understood that the army bureau
of ordnance has bought $4,000 pounds of
ammunition for the mountain batteries,
which are to be used against the Chi
nese.
Lieut. Gen. Miles is carefully looking
out for the comfort of the officers and
men serving in China He said to-
day:
1.-The climate in the neighborhood of
Tien Tsin and Pekin is subject to great
changes 1t is intensely hot in summer
and extremely cold in winter, the tenn
perature in the latter season often fall
ing to forty degrees below zero. 1t is,
therefore, necessary that our troops
should be supplied with warm clothing
and plenty of fuel. Furthermore, it may
be that they will be stationed Indefinite
ly in China, how long we cannot at this
moment tell 1t is, therefore, desirable
that they shall be supplied with tents
and tent floors. Everything that can be
foreseen will be done for the comfort
OF the men"
Gen. Miles reiterated that he was not
going to China. A friend pointed out
that the American force in China would
be too small for an officer OF the grade
of lieutenant general to command. Gen.
Miles would naturally be glad to go,
could he be in supreme command of the
allied forces, but this is impossible in
view of the determination of Japan to
send a field marshal.
