VOLCANO BELcHEs ASHES.

Mountain in Southern Mexico Con.
tinues in Violent Eruption.
Mexico City, Oct. 29.-The latest
news from the southern part of the re-
public is that the people are less
alarmed over the showers of ashes
than when the sun was obscured. In
some cases rain has come and cleared
the atmosphere. Subterranean noises
are heard at Tuxtla and this phenom-
enon appears to be general in the dis
trict where ashes fell. There have
been forty-flve distinct shocks of
earthquakes at San Cristobal. Pal
enque advices are that no change
can be observed from there in the
shape of San Juan mountain, but loud
and prolonged explosions are frequent.
Ashes fell all day yesterday. Scientific
men say the force required to precip-
itate such an immense quantity of
ashes over so extensive a territory
must have been terrific. 1t is report
ed that the mountain called Huistopec
Is in eruption.

securing home within the house
hold of Mr.. and Mrs. Kennedy
where he resided for four years and
received his first lessons in learn

instructions of Mrs. Kennedy and
as he is good reader he justly lays
this accomplishment to her efforts

at his command and having plenty
OF leisure was ableto give Mr.. Chris
Jensen much valuable advice which
he has made good use OF in these
latter years as his fast increasing,
fortune demonstrates. He was de-

pecial pains in showing them
around our city and making their
stay among us as pleasant as pos
sible. Mrs. Kennedy and daughter

pany for S145 net, which was at the
rate of $165 per acre. The crop
brought 20 cents per bushel more
than the market price of the ordinary
quality of onions this season.

ARBITRATION BOARD HOLDS IRIS
FIRST SESSION..
Commission Will Visit Mines and
Homes of Mitchell APP
pears in Behalf of Men, to Which
Baer Takes Exception.

Washington Oct 2S.-The anthra-
cite coal strike commission, in the
hearing room of the interstate COM
ference yesterday. There was a rep
resentation OF both operators and min
erS and members of the press and
other interested parties were present.
The commission occupied the elevated
seats generally filled by members of
the interstate commerce commission,
Judge Gray, as president, occupying
the center, and Messrs. Wright Wat
kins and Clark to the right OF him in
the order named. while General Will
son, Bishop Spalding and Mr. Parker
sat on the left. The proceedings COW
cred about two hours time and were
given up entirely to a discussion of
the time ard method of proceeding
with the proposed investigation. The
commission decided to begin its work
next Thursday morning at 8 o'clock,
the first day of the investigation to be
devoted to a physical examination Of
the mines and the homes of the min
ers, starting in the vicinity of Scran-
be covered.
There was considerable discussion
over a proposition made by the COM
mission to have expert accountants ap-
pointed to audit the statements of
wages and classification of miners to
be made by the operators for the use
of the commission, but no result was
reached on this point beyond the an
nouncement by the chairman of the
commissions intention to appoint
such an accountant in case his serv-
ices should be found necessary.
During the progress of the meet
ing, Mr.. Mitchell, as a representative
of the miners, presented a copy of
the original declaration of the miners
as declared by the Shamokin conven-
ton, as the basis of the demands of
the miners. This demand is, first, for
an increase of 90 per cent in wages, Of
those not engaged by the day; second,
a reduction of 20 per cent in working
hours of those engaged by the day;
third the payment for coal mined by
weight at minimum rate of so cents
per ton of 2,240 pounds; fourth,
wage agreement between the operat-
ors and the miners for an adjustment
of wages.
Mr.. Baer, on the part of the coal
operators, took exception to Mr.. Mitch
ellis appearance before the commits
sion as representative of the mine
workers union, but said he had no
objection to his presence as repre-
sentative of the strikers as such in
their individual capacity. The COM
mission made no attempt to settle
the controversy, but it was made ap-
parent that the recognition of the
miners union will be an important
and knotty problem for the arbitrators.

Mexican Miners Entombed Alive.

Mexico City. Oct. ga shocking
accident occurred in mine near
Santa Maria de la Paz on Saturday.
A number of miners were working at
the bottom of shaft, when many
tons of earth caved in, choking the
shaft at some distance from the bot
tom. Sunday night tapping noise,
made by the miners, could be heard
by the relief party at work in the
shaft. The wives and children of the
imprisoned men were grouped around
the top of the shaft, waiting and weep
Ing. At last accounts the men had not
been rescued, but it is considered
still possible that the men have not
all suffocated.
