Newport News, Va, April 29.-The
tlirty-fifth anniversary and commence
ment exercises were brought to a close
at the Hampton Normal and Agricul-
tural Institute this afternoon, when
diplomas and trade certificates were
awarded to the negro and Indian stu
dents who had successfully passed their
examinations The distribution of hon
ors and prizes was preceded by mu-
steal and literary entertainment given
by the pupils of the various depart
ments, and appropriate addresses by

ENGLISH ARE SORE
ON SAIL MAKERS.
They Accepted Orders for Sails for
American Racers.

They Accepted Orders for Sails for
American Racers.
London, April 29.-The sensation
caused in British yachting circles by
the announcement that Ratsey &
Lapthorn, the English sailmakers, who
have an establishment at City Island,
N. Y, have been given orders for suits
of sails for the Reliance, the Constitu-
ton and the Columbia, can be best
judged by an editorial article which
appears in the Yacht World of April
80, under the heading, IAN Inter
national 90 Contest" The article
says:
''Anglo-Saxon yachtsmen will regret
to hear that the Forthcoming contest
for the Americas cup has practically
lost it's international character owing
to the acceptance of an order for
new suit of sails for one of the de-
feuders by Ratsey & Lapthorn, of
Cowes and City Island. Since they
happen to be the only individuals
other than the actual designer and
owner of the challenger who possessed
the actual measurements of her sail
plate, they have data unsurpassed in
the history of sport"
When Sir Thomas Upton was
spoken to concerning the report that
Ratsey & Lapthorne were making
sails for the American yachts, he ex-
pressed his incredulity.
From other sources it has been
learned that Mr.. Ratsey promised
never to make sails for the defender
while Sir Thomas was challenging for
the cup.

ture within half a mile of the mine
workings. 1t is now certain that eight
cen men are buried in the workings. All
hope for them has been abandoned.
The streets are crowded with the rela-
tives and friends of those known to be
entombed. The women are behaving
in a most heroic manner.
1t is generally thought that the dis
ruption of Turtle mountain was
brought about by a seismic disturb
ance, although some persons declare
that the origin of the upheaval was vol
canic. No lava has been seen, and
aside from the smoke from the noun
tain, the atmosphere is clear. There
is, however, no explanation for the con-
tinued upheavel of rock. The eruptive
influences seem to center at the crown
of Turtle mountain.
At 4 o'clock this afternoon the fol-
lowing conservative estimate of the
loss of life was made Men, women and
children, killed in their beds as they
slept, 81; miners working outside the
mines aud instantly killed, II; imprls-
oIleu III lue lille, 10.
Situation More Reassuring.
1880 p. m.-The latest information
from Frank is somewhat more reas-
surfing than earlier news, in that there
now seems to be less danger than was
at first anticipated of extensive disas-
ter. The threatened flood, which bid
fair to duplicate the Johnstown disas-
ter, seems tonight less probable. A
large force of men has been at work
trying to create a new channel, that
the damned UP water of the Old Mans
river may be run off. The men will
work throughout the night, and Il is
hoped that the water will be running
through the new channel before morn
ing.
Most of the men imprisoned In the
mine, whose death at first seemed GER
tain, got out alive late this afternoon.
There were seventeen men in the mine.
Two died from suffocation, but the
other fifteen worked their way out.
The rescuing party above ground de-
SPARED of saving the entombed min
ers, for the entrance was blocked by
immense piles of broken rocks. The
miners within, however, found an exit
where there was less rock, and after
cutting their way through thirty feet
of debris, all but two emerged from
the mine uninjured.
One of the imprisoned men who so
narrowly escaped death went home
after emerging from the mine and
found his house destroyed and his
wife and six children dead.
There is now plenty of air in the
mine and the inside workings are in
tact.
A special from Frank at p. M es-
Inmates the total number of dead at
95.
Was "A Slide of Rock.
The latest theory as to the cause of
the disaster is that it was due to a
rock slide, which carried the top of
Turtle mountain down upon the viii
lage below. 1t is now thought that
what was supposed to be the smoke
of a volcano was dust, and that the
continued fall of small bits of rock
during the day was merely the after
math of the original rock slide. A rep
etition of the calamity is now con-
sidered unlikely.

CANADIAN PACIFIC
REPORTS CALAMITY

Buffalo, April 29.-An official dis
patch from the Canadian Pacific Rail-
road to the Associated Press says:
Latest reports from Frank, N. w.
T., via Macleod, N. w. T., says a
volcanic eruption occurred there at 4
a. m. to-day. The earth opened up for
three-quarters of a mile in length, and
millions of tons of rock slid off the
top of Turtle mountain. which over
hangs the little town. The coal pit
mouth and several buildings near
thereto were buried.
1t is estimated that the loss of life
is about seventy residents of the
town, and in addition about fifty min
ers are entonbed in the mine The
Canadian Pacific Railway at once ar
ranged for trains to convey doctors,
nurses and hospital stores, both from
the east and the west to Frank

HOW THE THAW MONEY
GOES WITH THE BRIDE.
Mother of the Countess Discusses
This Interesting Point.

This Interesting Point.
Pittsburg. April 29.-The following
communication to the Associated Press
by Mrs. William Thaw, mother of the
Countess of Yarmouth, explains itself:
There is one line of romance-to
call it by no harsher term-largely in
dulged in by newspapers. which the
Associated Press is asked to correct.
The particular instance now referred
to is that of the settlement in con-
nection with the marriage of the Earl
of Yarmouth. Briefly. the facts are
these:
Miss Thaw, now the Countess of
Yarmouth at the death of her father
was left Gas were each of his five chill
dren by his second marriage), with an
Independent fortune of nearly 100000.
Half of this amount was Immediately
put into trust for each child. the in
come only to be available during their
lifetime.
Part of the remaining half of the
fortune of each of these children con-
sists of one-tenth share each in the
William Thaw coke trust which is
tied up absolutely and irrevocably
save as to income.
What is known as the free estate
of Miss Thaw, amounting to about
one-half of the whole estate, has been
by consent of herself and Lord Var
mouth formed into a third trust, to be
managed by the Fidelity Title and
Trust Company of Pittsburg, together
with one individual trustee.
THE income from all three trusts
will be paid to the Countess of Var
mouth, except small complimentary
fractional income (nothing like what
at various times has been stated)
which she, without suggestion from
the other side, allotted to the Earl
himself
I'm case of her death, it is arranged
that the income from about one-fifth
of her total estate will be paid over to,
or invested for the benefit of, the title
and estate of Hartford, to which,
should he outlive his father, the Earl
will succeed"

GEORGIA MILLS BOOKS
Are Wanted for Inspection in
Massachusetts.

Boston, April 29.-Edward d. Nc
Vey of Lowell, one of the attorneys
who assisted at the Executive Commit
tee of the textile council at the in
vestigation of the condition of the cot
ton mills here, has filed a petition with
Gov. Bates, asking that the Massachu-
sets corporation submit to experts for
examination the books of the Massa-
chusetts mills in Georgia.
The state board of Cancellation and
arbitration says that the books of the
Georgia plant were not inspected when
the books of the Lowell mills involved
in labor troubles were recently SUBJ
mitted to the board. AS a result of
the boards examination they reported
that the Massachusetts mills, among
others, could not afford to advance
wages.
The operatives contend that the Of
ficials of the Massachusetts mills in
this state and of the Massachusetts
mills in Georgia are the same though
two sets of books are kept. The opera
tives hold that as both concerns are
one, the condition of the Georgia BUSH
ness should be taken into account
when considering the ability or in
ability of the companys mills here to
pay an advance of 10 per cent.
