SPECIAL DISPATCH
FROM FERN|E, B. {.
WRECK or THE WORKINGS BELOW
Is COMPLETE-BODlES WILL
NEVER BE RECOVERED.

Vancouver, B. C., May 27.-A special
from Fernic says il has been definitely
settled now that the explosion which
killed ISL men occurred in one OF the
lowest workings known as Beaver Pit
There and from that point within radius
Of 500 feet the wreck Of the workings is
said TO be complete by men who are work
ing on the recovery Of bodies.
Hundreds OF tons Of rock and coal
we're brought down upon the unfortu-
mates by the force Of the explosion. Some
Of the bodies are buried beneath from
fifty to seventy-five tons Of debris and
many corpses will never be recovered.
While the mine management claims that
the lower workings Of No. 2 tunnel are
nearly clear Of gas, the rescue parties do
not verify this contention and say that
slow progress is being made in rescue
work, by reason Of the delay caused by
bracing the work.
Gas is also still in evidence in many
parts OF the mine and this also causes de-
lay and ncccsstates care. Many Of the
surviving white miners are arranging to
leave Fcrnie
The threatened rising against certain
government officers was checked last night
by the arrival Of large number Of spe-
cial officers who had been hurrcdly sum
moncd by telegraph from all the nearby
towns.

SENTENCED TO TEN
YEARS IN PRISON
HERBERT MATTESON is GIVEN THE
LIMIT BY JUDGE KNOWLES IN THE
UNITED STATES COURT.
ESPECIAL TO INTER MouNrAiN.1

Helena, May a7.-Herbert II. Matteson,
the defaulting cashier OF the First Ma
tional bank of Great Falls, who yesterday
pleaded guilty to the first of 90 counts of
the indictment found against him by the
federal grand jury, was sentenced by
Judge Knowles to 10 years in the peniten-
tiary, this being the full limit under the
law.
Matteson was accompanied to the court
room by his wife, and the latter shut her
eyes when the judgment of the court was
pronounced, as if to lessen the blow.
Mattcson himself said nothing He was
told to stand up and asked if he had any
thing to say. His attorney, T. ]. Walsh,
then addressed the court, calling attention
to the fact that Matteson's position with
the bank had been responsible one and
declaring that he had been poorly paid.
Mr.. Walsh also cited the fact that Mat
teson had not tried to leave the country
and that none of the banks depositors had
lost through his speculations.
In pronouncing sentence Judge Knowles
remarked briefly upon the duties of bank
officers and the trust reposcd in them.

Seldom is such coolness and delibera-

act.
One letter directed to the coroner ar

the other directed to Miss Josie England

II is evident that Barrows was anxious
to conceal the identity of the woman in
the case as it was only by patching torn

the authorities were able to discover her
name.
There is something pathetic in the tone
Of this letter 1t is full of tenderness for
the object of his affections.
After pleading for few last words, the
writer says:
you were either misled or you are so
unselfsh that you consider that it is your.
duty to look after your younger brothers
and sisters"
Forgiveness for any unkind words was
all the suicide asked, and earnestly Ell
treated the woman not to worry as Il

REPUBLICAN, STATE CONVENTION

That Would Not Be Anti-Hanna
tpY ASSOCIATED pREss.l

Cleveland, o., May a7.-Every incoming
train today was crowded with additional
delegates and visitors to the republican
state convention which will be called to
order here late this afternoon in Central
armory.
The indications are that there will oe a
large attendance. The platform, which
was the subject Of long conference Of
party leaders last night, has been finally
agreed upon and is ready for presentation
to the convention.
The only change likely to be made by
the committee on resolutions in the plat
form already drafted will be in the
planks on Cuban reciprocity, trusts and
the tariff, and if changes are made they
will simply be in the forms Of express
sions.
The nominations for supreme judge,
food and dairy commissioners and mem-
bers Of the board Of public works tomor-
row will largely be controlled by their
respective bearings OH the contests for
places in 1903.
Central Committee.
The workers today were especially in
terested in the contests for members of the
state central committee that holds over
until after the next state convention.
There is much talk in the open field for
Hanna for president two years hence as
well as for his election as senator. There
is no opposition expressed by President
Roosevelt.
Those who arc talking about the dele
CATION to the next national convention
say they do not want an antiRooseyelt
delegation, but one that would not be
anti-Hanna in the event of President
Roosevelt not being nominated.
There probably never was a state con.
vention of the dominant party held in
Ohio in which federal Office holders were
so scarce as here, but their friends are
in the lobbies.
1t is understood that Senator Hanna
will be rendered an ovation and called
out for speech in the convention.
The preliminary meetings consisted of
conferences during the forenoon and meet
ings by congressional districts at p. m,
at which members of the committee and
assistant officers of the convention were
selected.
