No bodies have been taken out of the
mine at Terico, Colo, where an explosion
entombed forty-nine miners Friday, accord
ing to statement Of the coroner, who has
returned to Trinidad from Tercio. A miner
was lowered down an air shaft by a rope
and saw and identified three bodies but
bodies could he taken our within an hour,
but while relief workers were preparing to
rescue them another slide of rock occurred,
making the progress or the rescuers slower
and more dangerous than ever. So great
was the explosion that huge powders block
the progress OF the rescuers and make
blasting necessary. The blasts cause fur
Their rock slides. 1t may be day. week
or two weeks before the mine can be ex-
plored on account of the frequent cave-ins.

Nicholas II. looked upon the work
in the same light. In November, 1894,
few days after he assembled the
throne, he said to the Imperial Com
mittee in charge of the undertaking:
The fulf1ment of this essentially
peaceful work is my sacred duty and
my sincere desire"
Now, within less than ten years,
and even before "this essentially
peaceful work. has been properly fin
ished, it is a mighty instrument of
war-the only highroad along which
hundreds of thousands of the Cars
soldiers have travelled, and are travel
ing, to face the legions of the Mikado.
What satire on the power of an
