1t is very likely that the Silliman
bribery case will go to the jury. The
primary aim of the defense was to have
the court give binding instructions for
Il verdict of acouittal, but when the
testimony Of the commonwealth was
all in. yesterday, and the motion for
binding instructions presented. Judge
Wheaton strongly intimated that he
would not sustain the motion. He Will
decide definitely this morning.
The only testimony tending to show
any guilt on the part of the defendant
is that given by p. w. Gallagher, eX-
special agent of the company. He tes-
titled that he distributed $500 among
-four Of the Old Forge councilmen to in
tluence them to vote for the franchise,
and that the money was given to him
for this purpose by Mr.. Silliman.
The law in some states. New York
among them. is that a conviction can
not be had on the uncOrroborated testi-
mony Of an accomplice. In PennsHl-
Nania, the law Is not very clearly de-
fined. There is nothing on the statute
books providing that conviction can
not be had on such testimony. but the
Supreme court has declared, i'm unquall-
fed terms, that ii is the duty of the
court. in such cases. TO caution the

Salisbury and the appointment of Mr..
BalfOur as follows:
THE resignation of Lord Salisbury
was expected in connection with the
coronation Of King Edward, but when
the coronation did not take place there
grew up an idea that perhaps the pre-
mier's resignation was indefinitely
postponed. Old men cling to power.
and it was supposed that Lord Sails
bury was not free from the weakness
of so many others. This prospect did
not quite satisfy his colleagues.
Ills extreme obesity is, of course, in
consistent with activity, either Of mind
or body, and there were whispers that
he sometimes was overcome by sleep in
the midst of momentOuS cabinet cOun-
ellis and that he only awoke when the
discordant voices of Joseph Chamber
lain and Sir Michael Hicks-Beach, the
two chief opponents in the cabinet,
reached an unusually high pitch.
"Once or twice too, lately, in the
House of Lords, he has shown certain
want of grip that was almost pain
ful. For instance, when the terms of
peace in South Africa had to be an
nounced. he calmly asked the House
of Lords whether they desired to hear
the words Of Lord kitchener's dis
patch. as though the communication
was really of little or no Importance.

is Lord Salisbury to supreme power be-

Permission to Start All but klondikc
Section Of Mine, Today.

Johnstown, Pa, July 13.-After ;
consultation, this evening, with thu
four state mine inspectors summoned
here to make a thorough inspection OF
the Rolling Mill mine of the Cambria
Steel Co., today. James T.. Roderick
chief of the state bureau of mining in
spection. dictated note to General
Manager Price of the Cambria Steel
Co.. granting permission to resume
operation in all sections of the mine
except the Klondike, in the morning
The klondike will likely be closed for
several days until perfect security is
assured.
Two more deaths Of rescued victims
have occurred since last night. These
raise the total fatalities to ia. al
though the company records have it
one less.
State inspectors say, tonight. that
the condition Of all the workings are
now free of gas and the almost per-
fecting ventilating apparatus is rush
ing currents of pure air into the ut
termost recesses Of the workings.
At $50 A. NJ, state Minis inspectors
entered the mine. They went nil
through the Klondike making air tests
and noting the conditions controlling
ventilation. They found many OPEN
ings which retarted the proper course
of air currents and noted them.
Most Of the interest centered. today,
in the funeral Obsequies. The black
cloud Of mourning was heaviest over
Cambria City, where the foreign popu-
lation dwells. Scenes Of Saturday in

force. Outsiders came from towns
within a radius of so miles or more.
All the churches of Johnstown paid
more or less attention in their morning
services to the disaster. Collections
were taken in many for the benefit of
the berefit families of the poorer vic
tins. The afternoon was devoted to
funerals. The national flag hung limp
and lifeless in the still air, while among
it's folds was mingled streamers Of
mourning.
The funeral Of Mike Sabot, one of
the conspicuous self-sacrificing heroes
Of the disaster, took place from st.
Mary's German Catholic church. Sa-
bot was about II years old. He was a
trap boy and knew the mine like Il
book. He was out at the mouth of one
of the headings when the explosion
came. He found himself unscathed
and Immediately rushed to the res
cue of the falling men beyond him. He
had dragged three into a working that
the afterdamp had not reached and to
his help they owe their lives. today.
Back he plunged into the mine, head
ing after more bodies. Faintness over
came him and he toppled over and
died. When found his hands were
still clutching the clothing of one
man in Il manner which showed con-
clusively that the boy was in the act
of dragging him out to safety when
overcome. Mikes coffin was draped
in pink and handsome flower were
on top.
All Saturday night workmen dug
graves in the Morrelville cemeteries.
BY this morning they had enough COM
pleted to care for the days arrivals.
The burial was simplified by the dig
cling of long trenches, in place of sep
arate graves. In one of these 25 cOf-
fins were lowered.
