the Dayton Coal and Iron company
at Dayton, Tenn, at 4 o'clock yeste-.
day afternoon. Twenty-Five men are
known to be dead. Ten bodies have
been recovered and II bodies are re-
ported to be yet in the mine.
Gas exists in the Nelson mine and
the men are required to use safety

for the miners to place their fuses
ready to be lighted for blasts just be-
fore quitting work each day, and
there are workmen known as fire
men" who go through the mine after
all the miners are out and set of
these blasts. The miners quit work
at 4:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
1t takes them about As minutes to get
out OF the mine. The two "firemen'
yesterday who are supposed to have
caused the explosion are Lark Hunter
and John Harvey. They shot the
blasts at 4:45 o'clock, before all the
miners could get out of the mine. i
is supposed that one Of the fuses was
defective and resulted in a blown
blast.

to consider the situation in view Of
Acting President Schalkburger' S
peace movement Well informed peo-
pie here say General Schalkburger
was evidently Influenced by the re-
ceipt Of the news of the result Of the
Dutch note TO Great Britain on the
subject Of peace in South Africa and
other dispatches sent him from here
1t is known that his communications
with President s eyn and General
DeWet which h; We heretofore been
easily carried on, were interrupted
by the recent British military move
ments. and as it was necessary L
communicate with Mr.. Steyn an
General DeWet before any peace
proposition could be formulated. Gen
eral Schalkburger had 70 apply to
Lord Kitchener for a safe conduct
Considerable surprise is expressed
here at Schalkburger's delay in get.
ting in touch with DeWet and 1t is
thought that something unusual mus.
be behind it.
But even IL the Orange Free stats
and Transvaal officials agreed Tn
peace terms 1t would be necessary
for both republics to call a general
meeting of the commanders and sub
NIT the proposals to the burghers be
fore they could be submitted to Lord
