Jacob Hunlalla, married.
Thus far but two bodies have been
taken out, Hunlalla's and an Italian

story is as follows:
We were sitting around the pump at
the bottom of the shaft, when, without
any warning, thousands of tons OF ore
came down. remembered nothing more

HANNA OPPOSES CANAL.
Ohio Senator an outspoken Opponent
of the Canal Project

Of the Canal Project.
Washington Jan. S.--Senator Hanna
is an outspoken opponent Of the Nicd-
ragua canal bill. He stood in the lobby
of the senate today and addressed a
small but select audience and gave his
views on the question in most emhatic
and graphic language. He spoke with
out reserve. altho he is a member Of the
committee on interoceanic canals, to
which the bill now under consideration
in the house will be referred, and there
is no doubt that he will have great
weight with the committee when the
subject comes before 1t.
The chairman of. the committee, SEN
ator Morgan, of Alabama, is the father
of the Nicaragua canal scheme in con-
gress and undoubtedly knows more
about the subject than any man who
ever sat in the senate or house of rep
resentatives. He is, however, an un-
compromising advocate of the Nioara-
qua route and treats with utter con-
tempt the movement now on foot to
confuse the question by bringing up
the proposition of the Panama Canal
Company to sell its property to the
United States for 100000.
Mr.. Morgan doubts the sincerity of
the proposition and thinks the goods
could not be delivered, IL bargain
should be made, and even doubts the
propriety of NJ. Jules Boeufve, chancel-
lor of the French embassy, acting as
the agent of the Panama company, in
making its offer to sell its canal prop
erty. Senator Morgan is opposed to
having congress listen to any PROPOSE
ton from the Panama company. and
would have the United States accept its
canal as gift
Senator Hanna is not so much an adj
vocate of the Panama idea as he is an
opponent Of the Nicaragua route, and
that he opposes only because he thinks
it is not the best one geographically or
financially. Mr.. Hanna, indeed, is in
clined to believe that the old Darien
route is the one that offers the best adj
vantage all things considered
About year ago he had his attention
called to the reports made upon this
route at various times and talked with
one of the engineers, who found in an
out of the way place some maps and
drawings which he brought to the at
tention of President Mckinley and
thru him to Senator Hanna. 1t is prob
able that the fact of the Darien route
which seems to have been entirely lost
upon the present generation of con-
gresham, may be submitted to the
senate committee during its consdera-
ton of the canal question and 10 the
senate when the bill comes before that
body

PORTO RICO WANTS STATION.
United States Urged to Establish a
Naval Station There.

San Juan, Porto Rico, Jan. S.-The
Porto Rican legislative assembly has
adopted a joint resolution urging the
establishment of United States naval
station in Porto Rican waters. The reso-
luton says the naval station in the
waters of Porto Rico is absolutely es-
sential to the best interests of the United
States, including Porto Rico and that
the people of Porto Rico will cede the
possession of any property, buildings,
and appurtenances belonging to the gov
eminent of Porto Rico as may be neces
sary.
The policy has heretofore been to
claim lands, hoping to sell them to the
navy department, but Porto Rico is now
alarmed lest the naval station be located
at St Thomas.
