WILKESBARRE, Pa, May 27-
1t is still matter of conjecture

shut down next Monday when
the order issued by the executive
board of the United Mine Work
ers, governing the hours of Ia

claim they will have all the help
necessary to keep the pumps and
engines in running order.
The United Mine Workers and
the officers of the Stationary
Firemens' association, on the
other hand. claim that unless the
coal companies grant the de-
mands made upon them, the
great bulk of the engineers,
firemen ond pumpmen will quit

the entire brotherhood of sta

next Monday. Last night he
gave it out that 80 per cent of
the men would quit work, but

SCORES DIE IN MINE
British Columbia Explosion Kills 100
Workers.

VANCOUVER, B. c., May "a
In a devastating explosion of fire
damp at No. 2 shaft yesterday
morning 100 miners were killed.
The explosion was repeated in
No. 3 shaft, which is connected
by a small passage. and the two
explosions caused a cave-in of
the High Line shaft, where
miners were working, entombing
scores there also. The upper
machinery of the mine was badly
damaged and for some hours
rescue parties could not be sent
into the No. 8 opening.
In all there were 1873 men work
ing in the three shafts at the
time of the explosion and of
these only twenty four escaped.
A large number of bodies have
been taken out from the outer
passages of shafts No. 9 and 8.
but there is still great deal of
fire damp and there is acute dan
ger that the mine may burst into
flames at any moment, cutting
off the rescue parties and render
ing hopeless the case of the men
who in the high line shaft are
still imprisoned. 1t is thought,
however, that these latter will
be able to escape by an old work
ing, as the cave-in on this higher
level is not so great.
The cause of the explosion is
said to have been a miner light
ing his pipe while down in The
workings. The mine is dusty
and gaseous and has always beer

gerous mines in the district ani

DELAY IN CONGRESS
Sessions End Not in Hght-lmmense
Amount of Work Now at Hand.

WASHINGTON, May 26-From
present appearances congress
will not adjourn until the middle
of July and possibly later. There
has been a delay in coming to an
agreement to take vote on the
Philippine question. 1t was
supposed an agreement would be
reached early this week, but the
present arrangements that there
will be no vote until after June 2.
The democratic filibuster has dis.
appeared but there are so many
legitimate speeches still to be
made that it has been found i'm
possible to close the debate un-
til the first week in June.
This means delay in getting
through with the Cuban reciproc-
ity bill, the isthmian canal meas
ure, and one or two other I'M
portant pieces of legislation.
The original intention was to
adjourn congress about June 20,
but unless hot weather should
set in and hasten matters the
present opinion is that congress
will be here at least until July 15
and possibly later.
There will be an important
meeting of the senate committee
on Cuba tomorrow, at which it is
believed a positive agreement
will be made on what is known
as the Spooner compromise. This
compromise provides for a re.
ductlon of 20 per cent on all
goods going in both directions
between the United States ard
Cuba. The reciprocity is extend
ed until five years from the date
of the passage of the bill.
The house proposition to abol-
ish the differential on refined
sugar is dropped entirely, as is
also the requirement that Cuba
shall pass American lmmigra-
and labor laws. In place of
these provisions there is a strin-
gent provision which is intended
to confine the reduction in duty
to goods exported from Cuba to
the United States by the original
owners.
This provision has been drawn
up by Senator Spooner himself
and is intended to prevent any
benefit accruing to the sugar
trust.

Senator Hanna on Strikes.

WASHINGTON, May 26-Sena-
tor Hanna returned to Washing
ton today from a visit to Phila-
delphia where he went to attend
a social function, and not to ar
range matters connected with
coal miners strike. Senator
Hanna says he does not believe
the organizations of the United
Mine Workers in the bituminous
districts of western Pennsylvania
Ohio, Maryland and will strike,
because they are working under
contracts which give them what
is to a large extent demanded by
the anthracite miners and which
the antracite operators will not
agree to.
Furthermore, the coal produced
by these mines, he says, can sup
ply the place of the anthracite
coal only to limited extent. In
the states named a scale is agreed
on every year. Eight hours is
days work. This year, in April,
an agreement was made, and
Senator Hanna does not believe
that a strike will be ordered sim.
ply to create scarcity in places
other than those supplied by the
antracite mines.

Martinique Volcano Again Pours Out Its
Terrifying Flood.

FORT DE FRANCE, Martinique
May 28-For forty-eight hours
Mount Pelee has again been in
eruption, and the utmost panic
prevails among the people here.
During the day the light of the
sun was obscured by the tremen-

flames from the volcano shoot
miles high in the air and the
town is lighted from their refec-

by the incessant display of light
nirg, add to the feeling of terror.
The out throw of ashes is some
thing enormous and they have
been falling in the city and over
the island continually.
At $40 last night vivid flashes
of lightning illuminated the skies

thought the lightning portended

people hastily left the city. A
majority of the population crowd

awe and fear at the peculiar
flashes, which stretched across

people remained up all night in
