RESCUERs DRIVEN BACK.
Forced to Suspend Work in the Bowen
Mine.

TRINIDAD, Colo, August S.-The res
cue party at the Bowen mine, where dis
astrous explosion occurred last evening,
was compelled to suspend work at clock
this morning, owing to fire damp. At that
hour the bodies of eleven dead had been
recovered. There were at least thirteen
men IN the mine at the time of the explo-
sion, and all undoubtedly were killed.
No gas has ever been discovered in the
mine, and it is the opinion Of the officials
that the accident was caused by prema-
ture shot. The powder house at the mouth
of the mine. containing about 1000 pounds
of blasting powder. was exploded by the
shock from the mine, and great damage
was done to the mouth Of the slope.
The town Of Bowen, situated about q
quarter Of a mile below the mine, was
shaken, and a number of windows broken.
Immediately after the explosion almost the
entire population Of the town rushed to the
mouth of the mine, and the scenes there
were heartrending. The mine is almost q
total wreck as far as can be determined
The explosion. occurred about 1,OOO feet
from the surface. The mine was quickly
filled with gas and smoke, and those who
escaped instant death were undoubtedly
suffocated.
The head of one victim was picked up
nearly 100 feet from where the body was
found.

VAIN SEARCH FOR GOLD.
Return of the Blakely Expedition to
Victoria. B. c.

VICTORIA, B. c., August S.-The elab-
orately QUILTED expedition which set sail
from here early in January on the brigan-
tine Blakely to search for the mythical
treasure of Coces Island has returned, like
other expeditions which have visited the
island. without having seen sign of treas
ure of any kind. The expedition was an
utter failure. The instruments which were
to locate the supposed buried treasure
fa1led in all instances. The Blakely was
lO1 days in reaching the island from Vic
toria, getting taste Of heavy weather
which prevailed at that time, arriving at
the island April IT,
After a days accommodating the gold
finding instrument was brought out and the
men started working at point which it in
d1cated. After sinking shaft twenty feet,
another trial was made with the so-calied
gold-hnder, and 1t pointed in another direc-
ton; in fact, every time it was brought out
1t pointed in a different direction. Finally.
getting disgusted with it, Capts. Whidden
and Hackett decided to test it with some
gold coin on the beach. It failed to find the
coin, and then Independent search for the
treasure was made. Holes were sunk where
the crew Of H. M. s. ImperiuSe and the
schooner Aurora had searched, without any
better result. Provisions getting low, it
and after a supply of corn and turtles had
been taken on, the vessel, on May II, was
turned northward Capts. Whidden and
Hackett, commander and mate of the
Blakely, still believe that the treasure is
there. 81

CAMP ROOSEVELT,
White Lot to Be So Dedicated-Feature
Of Encampment.

A very important feature of the national
encampment program was decided upon to-
day. The White Lot, upon which all Of the
corps reunions are to be held, is to be dedi-
Gated Monday, the first day, and christened
Camp Roosevelt. This conclusion was
reached at a conference between Mr.. B. H.
Warner. chairman of the citizens commit
tee, and Col. McElroy, chairman Of the
committee. with Gen. George H. Harries
Immediately following the dedication
there will be parade Of the regular troops
of the United States army and navy, with
probably 5000 men in line. 1t will be
magnificent object lesson to the veterans,
who will probably see for the first and the
last time the regular forces of the United
States in any such formation. The marines
from whatever war vessels that may be in
the harbor here will also participate in the
parade.
This idea Of the dedication seems to be
very pleasing to the veterans. The matter
has been placed in the hands of General
Harries, who will have charge Of the ar
ran2ements.

Mr. DE CAINDRY SEWERS HIS
CONNECTION.
No Longer With the Commissary Gen
erals office-Disinclination Of

Considerable gossip has been created in
official circles by the unexpected resigna-
zion of Mr.. William A. De Caindry chief

tary of the government board In connec-
ton with the worlds cotton exposition at

Discrimination tn Talk
There was a general disinclination among
the officials Of the War Department, and
with the commissary generals department,
to say anything for publication regarding
the retirement of Mr.. De Caindry, and it
was only after persistent inquiry that it
was learned that he had actually severed
his connection with the government service.
His letter of resignation was dated the I'd
instant, and in it Mr.. De Caindry requested
that his resignation be accepted to take
effect the 4th instant.

accepted the resignation in accordance
with it's terms.
The vacancy caused by Mr.. De Caindry' s
resignation has been filled by the appoint
ment of Mr.. Emmett Hamilton, who has been

CommiSSary General Weston said this
afternoon that Mr. De Caindry was eff
cient official and that his resignation was
accepted with regret.

A VICTORY FOR LABOR.
Effect of Justice Bigham's Decision in
London.

LONDON, August S.-The morning pa
pers discuss with great warmth today the
decision handed down by Justice Bigharn
in the kings bench division of the high
court of justice yesterday in a case where
the Welsh Coal Owners Association sued
the miners federation for S5o0,Oo0 dam
ages for ordering stopdays without consult
ing the mine owners. Formerly stopdays
had been mutually arranged by sliding
scale committee, but in this case the men
acted independently.
Justice Bingham decided in favor of the
defendants on the ground that there was
malice in the action of the men. who
believed that a reduction of the output
would benefit both parties.
The liberal labor organs hail the Justice S
decision as a victory for labor. The con-
servative newspapers urge that the dis
pute be carried to a higher court in the
hope of obta ming a reversal on the ground
that Justice Bigham'S decision places
enormous power in the hands Of the trades
unions.

The Modern Juggernaut.
From the Boston Transcript.

The rapid development and multiform
character Of modern dynamics are making
eternal vigilance the price of safety to a
larger extent than ever before. The way
fartng man. woman or child needs eyes in
to every nerve and one or two senses more
than have hitherto been bestowed upon the
human family to avoid the peril that run
meth at monday and rageth more or less
during most OF the other hours Of the twen-
ty-four. There Is q demand for a phe-
nomepal alertness never before made on a
Christian civilization. The bicycle is no
longer a menace. The electric car. when
1t does not try to pass another car on the
same track. we regard as a familiar and
friendly object. The new terror is the
automobile. and it has never before been so
terrible as it is in the present year Of our
