No Hon. Of Savins Austrian Miners.

Breux, Austria, Jan. 1.-THE, water
in the Jupiter mine, which was sud-
denly flooded January IA, when the
escape of 4S men, including the mana
ger OF the mine and two superintend-
ents, was cut off, does not subside, and
hope of saving the men has been
abandoned. The disaster was due to
the overflowing of the River Bila near
the mine. Precautions to prevent the
flooding of the mine were taken too
late. One engineer was saved. Sub
sequently nine men courageously went
into the mine second time, and never
returned, Thirty-one Of the victims
were married.

To q Poet.

To learn poetry ''for repetition" 10
doubtless a means of cultivating a
knowledge OF literature, but schoolboys
sometimes regard the authors of poems
learned as taskmasters and personal
enemies. This view is amusingly ex.
pressed in q letter which was found
among the papers of the venerable
German poet Geibel. 1t was written
to him by some schoolboys Of Lubbock,
and Is signed Karl Beckmann, III.
Klasse." The letter is printed in Lit
erature. After stating that two boys
had been fiogged because they could
not learn, Herr Geibers Hope of
Spring" the letter reads as follows:
We suppose you did not think of such
things when you wrote the poem. The
Herr Lehrer says 1t Is very beautiful
poem, but there are so many very beau
tiful poems and we are obliged to learn
them. Therefore we beg and entreat
you, esteemed Herr Geibel, make no
more beautiful poems. And to make
1t worse we have to learn the biog.
raphy Of every poet, what year he was
born in, and what year he died in. We
write to you because you are the only
poet still living, and we wish you q
very long life.

Washington. Jan. 1S.--Seeretary
Long has written TO the naval com
mittee Of the House stating that be
had received many requests from
Libraries and other quarters for copies
Of the testimony in the schley case.
Mr.. Long says this demand cannot be
met unless Congress decides to print
the testimony, and he suggested an
edition Of 500 copies for the Navy De.
partment and a further edition for
Senators and Representatives. The
letter has been referred to Representa-
tive Heatwole, Of Minnesota, chaiS.
man Of the printing committees.
Representative Watson. of Indians
chairman OF the committee having
charge OF the schIey bills and resolu-
tions, said today there Is no purpose
on his part to avoid consideration OF
the measures. He expressed the
Presidential view that It is inadvisable
for Congress to go into the question.
but since these measures were re-
ferred to his committee, they would
be acted upon on their merits. Mr.
Watson said the committee feels that
the members OF the Maryland delega-
ton and other friends Of Admiral
Schley first should reach an agreement
as to what particular measure they
want the committee to consider, as
It would be impossible to 90 into all
Of the different plans proposed. More
over, said Mr.. Watson, it would be
difficult for the committee to take
Intelligent action until II has access
to the testimony taken by the court
Of inquiry. as it hardly would feel
warranted in forming conclusions on
the individual opinions Of members
unsupported by any knowledge Of the
testimony. except what is gathered
from fragmentary publications on the
subject.

Says he Fired Fatal Shot Declared Shoot.
ing Vas Accidental.
Portland, Jan 1S.--Jack Wade
confessed yesterday that he fred the
shot that killed James B, Morrow
The confession was voluntary and
complete and exonerates Dalton so
far as firing the shot is concerned.
While Wade admits his guilt in this
regard, he says the killing was acci-
dental, and that he had no intention
Of shooting Morrow or any one else.
Otherwise the stories Of the two men
tally fairly well. Wade his signed
written statement in which he admits
he was the man who fired the shot, and
says in this confession that he thinks
it would be wrong to keep it back any
longer. He asked for nothing and was
promised nothing when he made his
confession, doing it simply as a mat
ter of justice to Dalton.
This is the confession, transcribed
by Mr.. Veazie, Dalton's attorney, who
took the confession, read to Wade
and then signed by him, after the at
torneys had heard him tell his story:
Il have known all along that there
was no chance for me, and Il have
wanted to see Dalton punished too
because he gave us both away. But
l have thought it over and concluded
it is right for me to tell the truth. l
fired the shot. but did it accidentally.
did not want to kill Morrow nor
anybody, and would not have done it
Intentionally, even to save myself |
hope this viii save Dalton. I am do
ing this because it is right, and not
because | am afraid to die. I cant
see anything in it for me.

TEN WERE KILLED.
Explosion in Coal Mine Leaves None to
Tell the Tale.

South McAlister, /. T., Jan 16.
Ten miners lost their lives in the ex-
plosion yesterday evening in mine No.
9 of the Milby & Dow Mining Com
pany at Dow, |. T.
The ten men who lost their lives
were the only persons in the pit, and
none were left to tell the story. All
the bodies were recovered. and asi
none was burned, the conclusion is
that death was due to afterdamp. The
explosion did not injure the shaft,
which is new one, and the fire that
followed was put out before it did
much damage. The sound Of the ex-
plosion was heard plainly above
ground. and rescuers were at work
promptly. The explosion occurred at
a depth of 240 feet. The condition Of
the mine indicated that the men
might have made their escape. The
bodies were found within compara-
lively small radius, Most Of the vic
Tins were men of families.

A few days later the girls are sitting
In the garden. II is n beautiful day.
Even through the eternal shadows that

ycw hedge, the hot beams OF the sun are
stealing.
"A day for gods and goddesses." cries
Griselda, springing suddenly to her feet.

ago.
Perhaps I'll never come back. The
spirit OF adventure Is full upon me, and

on her sisters brow. averring that .
''brow" is the only applicable part Of her
for such solemn occasion, and runs
lightly down toward the hedge.
She runs through one OF the openings
In the hedge, crosses the graveled path,
and mounting the parapet, looks over to
examine the other side of the wall on
which she stands, after which she COM
mences her descent. One little foot she
slips into convenient hole in it, and then
the other into a hole lower down, and so
on and on, until the six feet Of wall are
conquered and she reaches terra firma,
and finds nothing between her and the
desired cool Of the lovely woods.
With merry heart she plunges into
the dark, sweetiy scented home OF the
giant trees. with q green, soft pathway
under her foot, and, though she knows It
not, her world before her.
Ii Is an enhancing hour. She has stop.
ped short in the middle of broad, green
space encompassed by high hills, though
with an opening toward the west, when
this uncomfortable conviction grows clear
to her that she is lost. She il not of the

good heart looks hopefully around her.
Far away over there, in the distance,
stands a figure lightly lined against the
massive trunk Of a sycamore, that most
Enthusiastically declares itself to be a man.
