PRAYERS FOR KINGS RECOVERY

Services Held Throughout the British
Empire. -
London, June 27.-At the hour when
the king should have been crowned a
great and distinguished gathering, al
most Identical with that which would
have sat in Westminster abbey, gath
cred in St. Paul's cathedral. The ap-
proaches to the cathedral were lined
by silent throngs, through which drove
peers and peeresses, colonial premiers,
foreign envoys, ambassadors and mem
bers Of the house of commons, all in
Bombre clothes. Il =.
AS II o'clock struck there arose
from the far end of the nave the clear
notes of the opening Sentences Of the
litany, chanted by four of the cathe-
dral clergy. Their tones were in such
unison that they seemed to emanate
from one powerful voice. The choir
took up the responses At each sup
plicatjon the procession, with the cross
at it's head, advanced a few steps and
then stood still until the response was
completed. Through the kneeling con-

The anthem and the singing of the
hymn: thine Arm, @ Lord, in Days

st. Louis, Jan. S.-Six masked men
entered the National Stock Yards
bank, north OF East st. Louis, Ills,
and after capturing and gagging the
two night watchmen and fireman at
the steam plants and blowing open
the vaults with dynamite, secured s5,-
900 In coin and currency, with which
they decamped. For nine hours, from
p. m. until a. m, they were at
work on the vaults without being In
terfered with.
Lee Philpot, one of the watchmen,
rough rider friend OF President
Roosevelt. was the first to meet with
the robbers. He was standing in the
stock yards, near the Exchange build
ing, in which the bank is located,
when he was addressed by three men
who sprang out Of fence corner with
revolvers in their hands. They said:
1--WE want you. Philpot," and with that
overpowered him before he could
reach his revolver. The three robbers
took Philpot TO the composing room
Of the Daily National Stock Yards Re-
porter, near by, and laid him on the
noor. He was bound hand and foot
and gagged with towels. While lying
there three other men came in.
One of the six men was sent out
with instructions to secure the others.
Albert Estep, the other bank watch
man, was caught on the steps Of the
Exchange building. Under threats of
death he was forced to go to the com

and gagged.

Chicago, Jan. &. -- Prosecutions

Evidence upon which to base pros

tained in abundance. Traffic manag-
ers and vice presidents OF roads east
and west threw up their hands and ad-
mitted freely that there was no pre-
tense toward maintaining tariff rates
on packing house products and dressed
meats for export or domestic use, ex-
cept for a very short period OF time
at the beginning of each year
Paul Morton, second vice president
or the Santa Fee, and other men OF the
highest standing In the railroad world
took the stand and stated boldly that
they are now and had been continual
violators OF the law, that they are
sick and tired of being such, that pres
ent conditions are intolerable, that
they are Dowerless to secure a main
tenance OF rates and that millions OF
dollars are paid to the packing house

GRANTS APPEAL OF scHLEY.
President Roosevelt Consents to Re.
view Findings of Court.


Washington, Jan. 8.-The object of
Admiral Schley's visit to the white
house Monday was to request the pres
ident to entertain and consider an ap-
peal for the reversal of the action OF
Secretary Long and the disapproval
of the majority judgment of the court
Of inquiry. The interview was salts
factory, the president granting the ad-
miral's request. Messrs. Raynor and
league will assist Admiral Schley in
the preparation of the appeal
The interview with the president
was arranged in advance, and at its
conclusion Admiral Schley left the
white house in satisfied state of
mind. He had been given full op-
portunity to present the case from
his standpoint and to acquaint the
president with many details with
which the president could not other
wise have had any knowledge. While
Admiral Schley would not make any
statement regarding the matter dis
cussed, holding that any interview
between naval officer and his com
ih"huoi h-Shioi ohouiu 10 Ie5dIueu dS
confidential, 1t Is understood that he
brought to the presidents attention
many Of the alleged injustices and dis
crepancies of the majority report Of
the court Of inquiry.
Admiral Schley's interview with the
president was the result of his deter
mination to exhaust every means in
his power to overturn the judgment
which has been rendered against him.
His new appeal will be different from
that submitted to the navy depart
ment, bringing out some new facts
which have an important bearing upon
the controversy.

Washington, Jan. 8.-The debate on
the Nicaragua canal bill In tho house
was opened In lively fashion yester-
day by Hepburn, chairman of the in
terstate and foreign commerce com
mittee, which reported the bill For
two hours he held the floor replying
to volley of questions concerning
the recent offer of the Panama Canal
company to sell its property and fran
chises to the United States for $40,-
100000. The interest in the debate
developed almost entirely in this new
phase of the subject. Hepburn main.
tanned that the alleged new offer OF
the Panama Canal company was part
Of the plan of delay. All his refer
ences along that line were literally
applauded. He pointed out what he
considered the suspicious circum
stances that the Panama company
held out for $109O0O,O00 and then sud
denly dropped the price to 100000, 900.
Morris (Minn.) gave notice that at
the proper time he would offer an
amendment to authorize the president

War Of Canal Routes.

Washington, Jan. S.-The first notes
of the contest between the Nicaragua
and Panama routes for the isthmian
canal were heard in the senate yes
terday. Morgan offered and secured
the adoption of a resolution which in
dicated his intention to have the com
mittee on interoceanic canals to in
quire into the relations existing be-
tween the transcontinental railroad
companies Of the United States and
Canada and the Panama Canal com
pany. In explanation Of the resolution
Morgan declared that the relations
were q wicked monopoly" which al
ready had cost the people OF the Pa
cific coast millions of dollars. The
relations involve the control by the
Panama Canal company, Of the Pan
anna Railroad company and the agree
ment existing between certain rail-
roads of the United States and the
Pacific Mail Steamship company. At
the conclusion of business the senate
paid graceful compliment to Senator
Foraker CO., by adjourning until Q
o'clock. in order that senators might
attend the marriage of Miss Foraker
which is to occur at noon today, with

MANY MINERS ENTOMBED
Buried Alive in Deep Shaft by
Sudden Cave-In.
SEVENTEEN ARE BELIEVED DEAD

.Rescures Are at Work, but There is
Little Hope the Men Will Be Found
Alive-only One Of the Bodies ls
Taken From the Ruins.
Negaunee, Mich, Jan. S.-The most
distressing accident occurring in this
county for years occurred at the Ne
gsunee mine yesterday noon, when by
q cave-in the lives of from 13 to IT
miners are thought to have been lost.
The cave-in was at the bottom of the
old shaft. Had 1t occurred half an
hour sooner, about 150 men would
have been killed.
The names of the dead so far as
known are: William Williams, John
Sullivan, John Pascoe, John Pearce,
Jacob Hunlalla.
Thus far but one body has been
taken out, that Of Hunlalla. Hundreds
of men are at the mine eager to help
in the work of rescue, but 1t is
thought the other bodies cannot be
reached before "a hours. John Basco
was rescued alive and described the
wrecked mine as IOllOWS.
"We were sitting around the pump
at the bottom of the shaft when, with
out any warning thousands of tons of
ore came down. l remembered no
more until | heard the sound of picks
and shovels in the hands Of rescuers
place where / was sitting and found
myself in drift. How got there is
a mystery, but can only be accounted
for by the concussion of the wind"
From the condition of the shaft 1t
would seem that the men are sur
rounded by mass of dirt and broken
timber. A dull roar and the crash
ing Of timbers gave to the men on the
surface the first intimation of the dis
aster below. A rush was made for the
shaft and when all had quieted dowp
Is volunteers under Captain James
Piper descended in the cage In an at
tempt to rescue. 1t was found, how
ever, that the shaft was badly dam
aged, it being impossible to get with.
men were buried.
cries Tor help were heard at the
lowest point reached, and the removal
of the timbers which blocked the
way found a man who shortly before
the cave-in had started for the
surface. He was uninjured, but was
drenched to the skin and suffering
greatly with cold. The man could
throw no light on the fate of his asso-
ciates, the majority of whom are
thought to be Italians and Finlanders.
The steam pipes leading to the under
ground pumps were so damaged that
it would be impossible to operate the
pumps If it were possible to reach
them, and as the mine is the wettest
in the iron country, the shaft is max
ing water fast.
A big force of rescuers, working in
relays, is making efforts to reach the
damaged level before the water
reaches it.
