SUBTERRANEANF FIRE
The Lower Levels of the
 Hanna Mine in Flames.
All Hope Abandoned of Recovery of Miners or Recovery of Bodies Be- low the Sixteenth Level.

Denver, Colo. July IA special to the Republican from Hanna. Wyo., says:
 Startling information tonight from an experienced miner and fire fighter who penetrated the burning mine to the sixteenth level is that the workings below the seventeenth level are a mass of flames, and where few hours ago it was believed the rescuers would reach the bodies of the entombed min CTS by tomorrow, it now appears that the bodies will all be burned.
 The efforts of those working below the surface are now confined to the work of walling the entries and slopes and putting in fireproof barriers which will prevent the flames from reaching the seventeenth and the levels above. This is taken as an indication that the rescuers realize the fruitlessness of fur ther attempts to reach the entombed miners below the seventeenth level.
 Besides destroying the lower work ings of the mine the fire may result in another explosion any time. Citizens are becoming alarmed for the safety oi those working below the surface.
 The officials of the company made house to house canvass today and made public a list of those supposed to be still in the mine. They number 167. Fully o-thirds of these leave fami- lies. Two bodies were taken out at 9 o'clock tonight. They were those of Lewis SaTri and Theodore Schill. The body of Deacon Jones was located and will be brought out tomorrow. Jones watch was found to have stopped at 10:27. which is supposed to be the ex- act time of the explosion.

There will Be No More
 Post Office Physicians
THEIR PAY ENDED JUNE i
A ASalaricd Office With no Duty Created Without Authority of the Law for the Absorption of the funds of the Department.

Washington. D. C., July 1.-Postmas- ter General Payne today issued an or der abolishing the position of physician in postofices at the close of business, June 3O 1903
 This order wipes out a small list of officials whose employment, without specific authority of law, has caused wide discussion in connection with the postoffice investigation. Some at least of these offices paid s1, zoo a year and were sinecures.
 One man was carried on the rolls of the Washington office for over a year at that salary and had practically no duties to perform. The office finally was abolished here and recently the postmaster general held that the em- plOyment of physicians should be all lowed only at offices in cities of 50O,OO or more population.
 The postoffices employing physicians up to the close of the fiscal year which expired last night. when the postmas- ter generals order took effect, are New York. Chicago. Brooklyn, Philadelphia and Boston.

 Senators Allison and Deliver. who made speeches. endorsed the platforrn as correct statement or republican principles. but Congressman Lacey of the Sixth district and Ccngressrnan Cousins of the fifth spoke in opposition to the tarifr changes.
 While the action of tho convention was entirely harmonious. both wings of the party are claiming the victory tc- night Governor CumT.lins and his sup poTters say that today's tariff plank contains in substance all that is found in last years plank. while the "stanf patters" are Congratuiating themselves upon the elimination of the shelter to trusts" clause which attracted so much attention to the Iowa platforms Of 1901 and 902

"A TALK TO RUSSIA
On the Subject of Its
 Treatment of the Jews
An Inspired view ofthe Position that Will Be Taken Regarding the Petit tion of Jewish Citizens.

Washington, D. C.. July 1.-The po- sition of the administration regarding the proposed transmission of the peti- tion of the Jewish citizens of the United States to the Russian govern ment was made very clear and positive by statement authorized by the state department tonight. This statement was inspired by newspaper publications re- hecting the attitude of the Russian govrnment in the event of the presen- tation of such a petition tn ough the medium of the United States embassy at St. Petersburg, which had been brought to the attention of high off cers of the government. It was given very careful consideration both here and at Oyster Bay before a decision was reached to make any declaration regarding the matter. The statement is as follows:
 "At the state department it was stated by high official, in the ab sence of Secretary Hay, that the delay in forwarding the petition of the American citizens of the Jewish faith as to the ill treatment of their CO., religionists in Russia. was solely due to the delay in furnishing the address to the state department by the peti- tioners. The state department would of course pay no heed to any statement purporting to emanate from the Rus sian government unless such state ment was made officially in some form or other to our government.
 "The state department has been es- pecially careful to act only in accord ance with all requirements of official propriety, but within the limits thus laid down it will most certainly not hesitate to give expression to tEe deep sympathy felt not only by the admin istration. but by all the American peo- pie for the unfortunate Jews who have been the victims in the recent appall- ing massacres and outrages.
 "In this connection it was pointed out by another official who disclaims any purpose to speak in his official capacity. however, that it seemed somewhat strange. to say the least. that the Rus sian government should choose this particular method of making a state at the very time, and by methods which certainly are the reverse of friendly to the United States, it has sought to make China join in breaking the pIighted faith of all the powers as to the open door in Manchuria and has endeavared to bar our people from ac cess to the Manchurian trade.''
 CASSINI IS SILENT.
 Washington. D. C.. July 1.-The above statement was shown to Count Cassini. the Russian ambassador. to- night, but he declined to make any statement. Any reply to this state ment must be made under direct in- structions from St. Petersburg. It is realized. both at the state department and the Russian embassy. that the sit nation is exeremely delicate.

HERMAN GETS IT.
The Contract on Account of Which
 Metcalfe Was Fired.

Washington, D. C.. July Post master General Payne today awarded the contract for printing the money order blanks of the government to Paul Herman, of Rutherford N. J. MT. Herman was the lowest of fourteen bidders. and the award of the contract which involves the payment of be- tween s3OO,OOO and $350000 during the next fiscal year, will effect a saving of nearly S45,0e0. in the four years con tract.
 Herman's bid was opposed by the present contractors, the Wynkoop. Hal lenbeck, Crawford company of New York, and by the United Typathetae of America.
 Superintendent Metcalfe of the money order bureau. was dismissed some days ago on the charge of indiscretion in seeking the withdrawal of Herman as a bidder in favor of the present con tractor. At a final hearing before the postmaster general, Herman furnished an affidavit that he had been employed by the present contractors for nearly ten years and had no idea of compet- ing with them when he left their en- ploy, which, he said. was before the specifications were taken up.
 He made search for work and says that he concluded he had been practi- cally blacklisted in the trade, and thereupon decided to start out for him self on a financial backing proffered by an intimate friend. He submitted oth CT evidence to show that he was not straw bidder. as alleged. and he swore that he has not, directly or indirectly. assigned any interest whatever in the contract.
 He testified that the firm which ob- ected to his securing the contract. of- fered to reemploy him, after the bids had been opened, at an increased sal ary provided he would withdraw his bid. which offer he rejected. Mir Hal Ienbeck. Herman said. offered him. if he would withdarw his bid. s60 a week and a large part of 9 per cent of the net profits of his business. which he would guarantee to be about s5,000 year, in addition to his salary.
 He said MT. Tooker of the Metropoli- tan Printing company. offered to pay him 5000 if he would agree to execute the contract in the name of that estab- lishment and let them share in he con ract, and to make a contract for five years to pay him $1OO per week salary. These propositions he rejected.

THE WOOD MINES COMPANY

THE WOOD MINES COMPANY, capital stock $5O,OOO.OO (5,OOO shares par value 5000 per share), is being or ganized to purchase and operate a group of gold mines near Phoenix whose substantial value has just been demonstrated. The stock is limited and has all been placed, but as the enter prise is of particular interest to Phoe- nix business men 6rom whom all sup plies used are being purchased), 1,25O shares at $12.50 per share have been set aside from the company's treasury for sale in Phoenix.
 The conservatism of this proposition must be self-evident. Under ordinary methods such a property would be foated on a million dollar capitaliza- tion. Instead of spending large sums for guady pamphlets, agents commis- sions, "secretary's salaries" etc, the entire receipts from this sale of stock will be used in purchasing a mill, con- centration and cyanide plant. so that the mine will immediately become producer and dividend payer. It is in fact, ground floor" opportunity.
 In 1900 I demonstrated that the old Cobre Grande Co., cn a capitalization of half a million, could earn net profits of s1,50O.OO per day. I can as truthfully assert that after installation of the plant above referred to, the net earn ings of the Wood Mines Co. will ex- ceed 30 per cent of the capitalization.
 I shall be at the mines for several days but can be reached by addressing me at 42 N. Center St.
