GAVE LARGE DRAFTS.
ThaImann Explains Landau's Trans
actions.


New York, Nov. 29.-Ernest Thai
mann, of Ladenburg, Thalmann & Co.,
made a statement to-day concerning
the firms transactions with William
Landau, who was arrested on the firms
complaint several days ago. The state
ment follows:
William Landau came here, intro
duced by some of the best banking
houses in London and Russia, warmly
recommending him to their correspon-
dents. He transacted a large business
from the start, and all of his drafts
were accepted upon presentation until
last week, when he himself informed
various New York bankers that his
drafts on the way to Europe would
not be accepted.
"Inasmuch as all the drafts were ac-
companied by complete documents, the
question of loss is a secondary mat
ter, since it is practically limited to
fluctuations in the cotton market. Our
investigation convinces us that prac-
tically all the cotton involved has
reached Texas points"

Berlin, Nov. 29.-Emperor william,
speaking at the Inauguration of the
Hall of Fame at Goerlitz, Prussia, to-
day, criticised the present generation
for its slackness In carrying on the

fathers had built up at the expense
of such strenuous exertions OF mind
and body.
But" said the Emperor, I'VE stand
upon the threshold Of the development
of the empires powers, and our time
demands a generation that understands
this work. The freedom of the single
individual is conditional upon his
subordination to the whole. May the

ALL DEAD SAVE ONE
Terrible Explosion of. Gas In
 Tennessee Mine.
MORE THAN 200 MINERS PERISHED.
The Fratervi1Ie Mine at Coal Creek Run the Scene of One of the Worst Disasters in HTfn-
 Ing History.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn, May 20.-Irl- formation just received from Coal Creek Tenn, where the terrible ex- plosion of gas occurred, says the res cue party has entered the Fraterville mine. Every man within it is dead. The list of dead will reach between ITS and 225. The work of recovering the bodies has begun.
 Out of the large number of men and boys who went to work yesterday morning developments show that only one is alive, and he is so badly injured that he cannot live. This man was William Morgan, an aged Englishman, who was a road man in the mine and was blown out of the entrance by the force of the explosion. One hundred and seventy-five miners were checked in for work by the mine boss. In addi- ton to these were boys who acted as helpers and drivers, road men and oth- CTS to the number of perhaps fifty.
 The men had not been at work long before the terrible explosion occurred. There was fearful roar, and then flames shot from the entrance and the air shafts. News of the disaster spread like wildtire, but as soon as possible two rescuing parties were started III, one at the main entrance, the other through Thistle mine, which adjoins and in which no men were at work. The Thistle party was unable to make any headway, as the gas stitied the workers. The Frateryille party went fully two miles under the earth, until heavy fall of slate was encountered. At this barrier men worked like de mons, hoping against hope that those beyond might be safe.
 All day long the rescuers tOiled at the slate obstruction, and not uatil } o'clock in the evening cid they force an entrance through it. Up to that hour only five dead bodies had been recov- cred, and hope was still high that many within were safe. The hopes of the living were doomed, however, for when once the rescuers could enter and proceed they walked through a contin- uous tomb of death. There was not a sign of life. Every man had perished, they believed, although all the rooms have not as yet been entered.
 The Fraterville mine is located in Anderson county, Tenn. 1t is owned by the Coal Creek Coal company, of which Major E. c. Camp of this city is president and general manager This is the oldest mine ill the Coal Creek district, having been opened in 1870. A large area has been developed and worked. The Coal Creek coal seam is struck by this mine, the hard and tenacious top averaging four and one-haif feet in thickness. The Fra terville mine has always been consid- CT ed one of the safest mines in the Coal Creek belt.
