SCENES AT HANNA FEARFUL
Citizens of Wyoming Mining Town Are
Alarmed at the Rush of Fire and

at Any Time.

Hanna, Wyo., July 1.-Information was
received tonight from an experienced
miner who penetrated the Union Pacific
mine to the sixteenth level that the work
ings below the seventeenth level are
mass Of fire, where few hours ago 1t
was believed the rescuers would reach
the bodies Of the entombed miners not
later than tomorrow noon. The efforts of
those working below the surface are now
confined TO the work OF walling up the
entries and the slope and putting up fire.
proof barriers which will prevent the
flames from reaching the seventeenth
and other levels above. This is an indi-
cation that the rescuers realize the fruit
lessness of further attempts to rescue the
entombed miners below the seventeenth
level.
Added to the horrors OF the fire, which
will doubtless destroy the underground
workings. Is the danger of another ex-
plosion, which may occur at any time.
The situation Is decidedly grave and the
citizens are becoming alarmed for the
the surface and also those engaged In
hauling away the debris from the mouth
of the slope.
II the entries in which the fire is burn
ing can be successfully walled and the
fire confined to a few entries. there will
be little to fear. but there is great dan
ger of the flames breaking through INTO
the entries from which the rescuers are
moving rocks and debris In an effort to
reach the two score or more bodies known
to be in No. II entry. Here the gas has
accumulated in such large quantities
that the rescuers cannot remain long at
a time, and the gas, II only ignited. will
cause the second catastrophe.
The watch carried by Deacon Jones.
one of the dead men brought out tonights
was stopped at 1927 and this Is probably
the exact time the accidentt occurred.
schill, whose body was recovered to-
day, was granted leave or absence and
went into the mine yesterday to get his
tools. He was on his way out and had
reached the ninth level when the ex-
plosion occurred.

ATTORNEY FOLK

HAS INFORMATION THAT MAY
LEAD TO SEVERAL MORE IN
DIcTMENTs ON RRIB cry
CHARGES.

st. Louis, Mo-, July 1.--Circuit Attorney
Folk has information which may lead to
the indictment of Eastern capitalists for
bribery In connection with the transit bill
which was passed by the Missouri legis-
lature in 1890 The statute of limitations
prevents the prosecution of those persons
living in Missouri who are alleged to have
been connected with the deal, but those
living In New York are not protected.
1t is understood that such indictments
would have to be found by the Cole coun-
ty grand jury as the deal was made in
Jefferson City. Mo. Should the indict-
ments be voted, the whole Doodle story
would doubtless come out for the first
time.
Several capitalists in New York were in
terested in the bin which made possible
the consolidation of the street car lines
in st. Louis save the suburban, and It
is reported that they authorized the ex-
penditure of $4,000 TO obtain the desired
authority to consumate the deals.

ber of the legislature. Circuit Attorney

EXPLANATION OF
DELAY IS ISSUED

WHY PETITION OF JEWISH CITl-

statement;
At the state department II was stated
by high official In the absence of Sc
retary 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 Russion was
solely due to the delay In furnishing the
address to the state department by the
petitioners. The state department would
of course pay no heed to any statement
purporting to emanate from the Russian
government, unless such statement WAS
made officially in some form or other
to our government.
The state department has been specially
careful to act only in accordance with
all requirements of official propriety but

by the administration but by all the Am
erican people for the unfortunate Jews
who have been the Victims in the recent
appalling massacres and outrages. In this
connection 1t was pointed out by another
official who disclaimed any purpose to
speak in his official capacity, however,
that 1t seemed somewhat strange, to say
the least. that the Russian government
should choose this particular method of
making a statement to the American peo-
pie at the very time when by methods
which are certainly the reverse Of friend

BARBETTE SHIELDS TESTED.
Ordnance Bureau Conducts satIsfac-
tory Tests at Sandy Hook.

Washington, July 1.-The ordnance
bureau of the war department recently
made satisfactory tests OF shields for
six-inch barbette guns at Sandy Hook
proving ground. The shields were fired
at with five and slx-inch guns and were
not pierced by the five-inch projectiles,
but were by the six-inch, which struck
fairly.
The important part of the test to the
ordnance officers was the fact that the
shield fasteners were not disturbed.
This is the first test that has been
made of the fastenings of the shields
to the gun carriages. The springs and
other fixtures were not injured.
