LONG LIST or MINE VICTIMS
Two Hundred and Twenty-Five Bodies
Have Now Been Recovered.

Two Hundred and Twenty-Five Bodies
Have Now Been Recovered.
sconeld, Utah, Especial. )-22j bodies have
been removed from the mines. OF the new
bodies thirteen came from Tunnel No. /.
Nearly all are in frighful condition. Six
more bodies were taken from No. mine,
two of them manged beyond recognition.
State Coal Mine Inspector Thomas, who
is acquainted with all the workings in tho
mine, says, to the best OF his belief, there
are twelve more bodies in the mine buried
under caves and broken tlmbers.
The recovery of James Gatherums body
makes the last of three brothers taken from
the Inflated mines.
Ii any man is TO blame for the accident
1t will never b6 known, for no man who can
tell the story has come out OF the mine
alive. Many old coal miners. familiar with
these mines, state that they have always
been regarded MS tho safest mines In the
state. These men also say that the COM
panys policy has always been to spare no
expense in order to keep the mines in n
thoroughly safe condition. At the coal
companys store everything is being given
out free of charge, that the families of the
dead are in immediate need of. and the store
is being kept open day and night.
The relief fund amounts TO $500, and
contributions in the shape Of money and
provisions are being received from many
places in and out Of the state.
There are not enough collins in the camp
to bury the dead, and, to add horror to the
situation, the bodies arc rapidly decompos-
ing, and 1t has been suggested that crema-
tion may have to be resorted to. There are
fifty bodies for which no provision for burial
has been made. A joint committee OF Odd
Fellows and Knights of Pythias spent the
day among the dead, identifying members
OF their orders. They found about twenty
OF each order among the dead.

,..rAsasS .-lzs s's1AsA'

Washington, Sept 2.-ATr. Adee. the
acting secretary of state, does not hcsi-
tate to set the seal of his disapproval
upon the stories that have been put
ahoat to the effect that there has been a
disagreement of policy between the pres
ident and Secretary Hay as to China, in
volving possible changes in the cabinet.
Mr.. Adee says the stories are absolutely
lacking in foundation. lie feels able To
enter the broadest denial of the accuracy
of the statements for the reason that he
has been in daily and almost hourly com
muncation with the secretary of state
by mail and wire at the latter's home and
is perfectly acquainted with the sccre-
tary's views respecting pending issues.
Therefore he is able to say that Mr.. Hay
is thoroughly in accord with the prcs-
dent in his Chinese policy, while on the
other hand the president has given his
unqualified approval to every step in the
negotiations which were directed by Mr..
Hay.

yyhent Trnips Are stalled.

Kansas City, Sept. 2.-The extensive
yards Of the Santa te Railway company
in Argentine are almost exclusively oc-
cupicd with cars OF wheat, which it is
impossible to move. 1t was estimated
that there were 90 miles of wheat cars
there Friday morning. The trouble is
said to be due to the inability of the Chi
cago division of the road to handle the
great inflow of wheat from the various
branch lines in Kansas. The difficulty is
not so much from car famine as it is
due to the lack of motive power to keep
the lines cleared. All other roads in Kan
sas are unable to handle the wheat offer
ed. All the elevators are full, and farm
ers are dumping wheat in big piles on the
ground near the railroad stations.
