The e. Il p (. e 4..a TIE NINE Horror
/ Fire Greek, w. Va, March 9. 81 The
rescuing parties continued working
hard at Red Ash mine yesterday IN
/ removing debris and securing the.
bodies Of the victims Of the explosion.
The scenes Of distress among those
hunting their missing friends is still as
appalling as OH Tuesday. The work Of
rescue continues night and day, and
1t is still impossible to give the exact
number of victilne or to identify all
the bodies recovered. The most con-
sentative estimates Of those connected
with the mine places the number Of
killed at fifty-two, and there are others
who insist that the number Of victims
will be found to reach sixty. A report
from the rescuers at the mine after 8
o'clock last night was that thirty -four
bodies had been recovered, twenty mine
being dead and five seriously injured.
While the surviving miners and others
estimate that there are at least thirty
nine miners will be entomed. Cen
cral Manager Howells says there are
still in the mine only thirty-six. The
estimate Of the latter would indicate
that there were
Seventy Killed
and five injured, MS it is conceded that
all of those still in the mine are dead.
None Of the mines in this district are
yet working, and thousands of people
visited the scene of the disaster yes
terGay. No definite cause for the ex-
plosion has yet been learned by Gov.
Atkinson, the state and district mine
inspectors and others who are investi-
eating the case. In. addition to the
theories Of dust, flredamp, etc., it was
claimed that natural gas had escaped
into the mine and that it ignited when
the miners entered with their. lighted
lamps. The work of rescuing parties
is retarded by hot air and it is thought
the mine is on fire. Air is being
pumped into the mine by compression.
1t will probably be several days before
all the bodies can he recovered as they
the scattered along for almost mile
under ground, and it will require much
time to clear the debris from this long
subterranean course.

Gen. French, who is ten miles ahead,
reports that his front is clear Of the
Beers. All other reports tend to con-
firm the state of DISCRIMINATION, Of

Kruger May Assume Commann.
4. London, March 1O.-The Berlin cor
respondent of the Daily Mail says:
II learn there is dissension between
President Kruger and Gen. Jdubert
and the latter has resigned. Probably
President Kruger will assume the
chief command. Other prominent
burghers aud commandant are also
likely to resign for similar reasons and
because President Kruger ignored
their advice to make peace overtures
after the first victory"

QUEEN WILL VISIT IRELAND
For the First Time Since the Primo,
COnsOrtsa Death

SOMHOrCB Dc0tns
London, March 9.-At no other time
since the Diamond jubilee has the
queen been so conspicuous an object
in the present mind as she is just now.
Her madesty's visit to- London for q
drive in semi-state from Paddington
station to Buckingham Palace would
be sufficient in itself to create great
public. manifestations of loyalty, but
the announcement that for the first
time since the Jubilee she will to-day
drive from Buckingham palace along
the ennbankment to St. Paul's ca
thedral and back through Holborn and
Picadilly 10 st. James is bound to make
it gala day in the annals of London.
Beyond all this is the announcement
of the queens intention to visit Ireland
for the first time, it is said, since the
death of the prince consort. This is
regarded as one of the most remarka-
bic acts Of the queens life. No minis
ter CT the crown has ever dared to sug-
gest such remarkable undertaking.

having reported that no more artillery
from home is necessary. This is the
first pause in reinforcemeEts since the
war began. Sir Redvers' Butler, Sec
ond in command in the field, and
Lord Wolseley are understood also to
consider that no more artillery is
needed. Lord Roberts has, altogether,
452 guns, including siege pieces.
Roberts Up to Something.
1t is quite clear that Gen. Butler
will not try anything large in the
future, as he is, to lose Sir Charles
Warren and the latter's men, who
have been ordered to join Lord Rob-
erts. 1t is the expectation of the war
office that Lord Roberts, notwithstand-
ing the necessity of garrisoning his
depots, will be able to operate a con-
stantly increasing force until by the
time the Transvaal frontier is reached
he will have 10000 troops. His tele-
grams dealing with non-essentials are
taken to mean that he is up to some
mischief, as his apparent inactivity
usually spells uncommon activity.

Major Anderson, agent in charge Of
the Colville Indian reservation in
Washington, has gone to the national
capital with three of their principal
chiefs and two interpreters, to present
the claim Of these Indians for payment
for land coded to the government in
1891. The chiefs are Lot, Barnaby and
Orpan-ghan. Lot, the head chief, is
about 70 years Of age. and while he has
no record of war and pillage, he is
none the less famous. He has never
been at war with the whites. While
the Occur d'Alenes, who were warlike
Indians. were paid large sums for their
surplus lands, the Spokanes received
nothing, and hence this journey to the
Great Father" to ask for what they
regard as simple Justice.

In one branch of manufacturing en-
terprise the United States has thus far
stood without peer. The supremacy
of this country in the electrical field
has been universally recognized and
admitted. 1t was here that practical
application of electrical science was
first made successfully, and it is: here
that electrical investigations; expert
ment and invention have had the full-
est and freest scope. 1t is not to be
wondered at, therefore, that here the
greatest success has been attained and
the greatest progress made. These
things have come simply as the natural
consequence Of the efforts put forth to
secure them. +'~ '---->'t'. 90 = -- -

The suit of the Chicago Tribune COM
pany against the Associated Press in
wolves questions of fact as we'll as prin-
ciples of wide interest and considerable
Importance. 1t is charged, in the first
place, that the Associated Press has
been appropriating news purchased by
the complainant from the London
Times under special contract and
copyrighted in this country. This,
however, is fatty denied by the defend
ant. 1t is claimed by the Associated
Press that the news and comments in
question were obtained by it, not from
the early edition of the Tribune, but
by cable from London.
