" injured personsS ere IA the hospital,
while several other megwho were hurt
are at their homes. t is belived that
few IL any more bodies can be recov-

The accident broke the telephone
circuit and several hours elapsed be-
fore a messenger reached town with
tidings OF the disaster. All the doc
tors available and many citizens hur-
ried up the mountains to lend assist
ance in digging out the dead and in
jured. Seven bodies had been recov-
cred and five injured men brought to
town when second slide came down
in the path Of the first, killing two
more and injuring a number of others.
This was followed by two more snow
slides in which five lives were sacri-
feed. AS the storm still continued
and the work of rescue could only be
carried on under the most extreme
danger to the living, and as it was be-
lieved that no more of those buried un.
der the snow could be alive, it was de-
cided to abandan the search for bodies
until it can be prosecuted with greater
safety.
The damage to the mine property is
estimated at $4,000.
The tramway terminals are gone,
with crushers, ETC., and the entire
tram and most of the towers are down.
It will be at least four months before
work can be resumed. J.
That locality has always been con-
sidered safe from slides, and the build
ing site was selected on this account.

Eighteen persons in all were working
in the building at the time. Ten girls
were caught in the debris and fell
through to the basement.
Ambulances were at once sum-
moned when the floors collapsed, and
as fast as possible the injured girls
were taken from the building and re-
moved to hospitals.
The building is four stories high
and of brick. The walls are still stand

floors are in a tangled heap on the
first floor.
Of those reported missing it is not
yet known whether they are alive or
dead. The firemen, several companies
of whom were called out when the
accident occurred, are still hard at
work clearing away the debris in their
search for victims.

DIDN'T KNOW THE PRINCE.
Anusins Incident at Altoona-PRance
Henry Rides in Cab Of
Engine.

Portage, Pa, March 3.-The special
train which is taking Prince Henry and
his party to the west and south was
well on its journey through Pennsyl-
vania when daylight came. The first
half of the morning was made at Al
toona, where committee of citizens
presented an address of welcome. Their
meeting with the prince was amusing.
He had arisen some time before and
for the first time since his arrival in
the country was dressed as civilian.
He wore gray tweed sack suit and a
black derby hat. He was standing on
the platform of his car when the COM
mittee filed up, and the first man
bumped into him before he saw him.
Apologizing, the man asked to be taken
to Prince Henry. The prince smiled,
bowed, and said: 81 am Prince Henry
The committee looked embarrassed,
but recovering their composure, went
through the ceremony of greeting.
After breakfast the prince got his
promised ride through the mountains
in the cab of the engine. A stop was
made at Lilly, and, accompanied by
Lieut.. Commander Egidy and George
w. Boyd, of the Pennsylvania railroad,
he walked forward and climbed into
the engine. j. w. Gilchrist was at the
throttle as engineer, and the fireman
was H. C. Palmer. The prince shook
hands with them, and, taking the en-
gineer's seat directed that the train
be sent ahead. The run was through a
wild section of the Alleghenies, and
the prince was very enthusiastic over
the ride and scenery.
Johnstown, Pa, March 3.-Prince
Henry's special was held at Portage for
one hour and so minutes by a wreck
ahead, and it was II o'clock before it
was again in motion. The train Off
Gals expressed the hope that they
would be able to make up most of the
time lost before the end of the day.

liam has made the following reply to
the cable message sent him by the
American press on the occasion of the
banquet given by the New York Stats

Still in Dark Over Colon
bias Dispatch.
MESSAGE TO Be SEMI TO The alIloR.
Hope to BE Able to Arrange the Diff
hculty I'm the Transfer OF Property
to United states-Dr. silva Issues
Statement at Washington Regard
ing Matter.

Paris, March 3.-The official Panama
Canal company are still without any
explanation of the dispatch from the
government of Colombia, announcing
that the company would not be allowed
to transfer its concession to another
nation without the consent of Colom-
bia to modification of the stipula-
tions of articles 81 and 90 of the COM
pany's agreement with Colombia, and
cable message will be sent to Colon
bia asking for an calculation of the
matter.
Hope to Arrange the Dimculty.
The hope is expressed that the diff
ficulty will be arranged and in the
meanwhile the company will maintain
its offer to sell it's property to the
United States, and will continue the
negotiations on the subject. It is
not considered probable here that CO.
lombia will oppose the sale of the canal
property to the United States, after
giving it's assent at the opening of the
negotiations, and confirmation of its
approval of the negotiations having
been received in letter from Senior
Silva. the Colombian minister at
Washington, to Admiral Walker, jan
uary IL. In view of this letter it is
considered that Colombia is offering an
affront to the United States by now
opposing the transfer.
The company's officials are annoyed
at the anti-American nonsense ex-
pressed at Fridays meeting of the
shareholders and explain that the
speakers were noisy few who regu-
larly create trouble, but who only hold
very small number of shares.
Attitude of Colombia Wel1-FknOwn.
Washington, March 3.-Dr. Silva, the
retiring minister from Colombia at
Washington, Saturday authorized the
following statement:
1.-THE Panama Canal company. through
Mr.. Lampre, its secretary-generale,, and
others. was informed some time ago that
1t could close no deal involving the. trans
fer of its rights to any nation without first
obtaining the assent of the Colombian gov
eminent. the grantor of its concession.
This matter was made very clear. The CO.
lombian government gave the company the
right to initiate negotiations looking to a
transfer Of it's rights to nation, but never
to finally close such DEAL
II canont comprehend why such situa
ton, which had been madesso clear to the
company, should have caused such furry
of excitement among its shareholders when
presented to them in the form of an official
cablegram, unless they had construed the
notification to mean that the Colombian
government was not yet prepared with its
terms of transfer to the government of the
United States"
