Men tNToMBfD IN the MINE
BETWEEN 1870 AND 100 MEN PROB
ABLY LYING DEAD IN THE
WORKINGS.
:0Ul AIR PREVENTS RESCUE
ONLY ONE OF THE MEN HAS
BEEN BROUGHT TO THE
SURFACE.

PittsburR. Pa, Jan. 81. - From all
that q be gathered at this hour be-
tween .1S0 and 100 men are lying dead
In the headings and passage ways OF
tho Harwick mine of the Allegheny
Coal company at Cheswick, the result
Of a terrific explosion yesterday.
Cage after cage has gone down into
the mine and come up again, but only
one miner of all those that went down
to work yesterday morning has been
brought to the surface. The rescued
ma is Adolph Gunia, and he is still in
a semi-conscious condition.
In addition to the miners who we're
at work when the explosion occurred
1t is now believed by practically all
of the men Of the rescue party who
have come up to the 220-foot vertical
shaft for a warming and a breathing
spell, that Selwyn M. Taylor, the Pitts
burg mining engineer who plotted the
mine and who was the first to reach
the bottom after the explosion hap
pened, is now among the list of dead.
OF those in the mine
All Are Probably Dead.
The explosion occurred at $50
o'clock yesterday morning, and the
first warning was a rumbling under
ground and then a sheet of flame shot
up the shaft. Both mine cages were
hurled through the tipple, twenty feet
above the landing stage and three men
on the tipple YER hurled to the
-r@,,~1 A ,,r1A II h,Ir1o1 h{oh ohnvo
the shaft and fell dead on the ground.
The injured men were brought at once
to this city, where two of them have
died since.
As soon as the rumble of the explo-
sion and the crash at the pit mouth
startled the little village the wives and
children of the men below rushed to
the scene Of the disaster, but to
Gain No Encouragement.
There was no way to get into the
deep workings. The cages that let the
men into the mines and brought them
out again whom the days work was
done were both demolished.
All day long there was . jam Of
waiting women and children about tho
mouth Of the pit. here were calls for
assistance and for surgical aid from
the men in charge of the mine, but 1t
was not until 4 o'clock yesterday after
noon that the first attempt at rescue
was made. This was q failure, as the
two men who volunteered were driven
back by the foul air.
Shortly after 5 o'clock SMwyn Tay-
lor and one of his assistants stgnalled
for the engineer to lower them into
the shaft. Taylor is stu down there.
Three times efforts have been made
to reach him, but so fsc without avail.
3:15 a. m.-Dr. w. B. Mccullough OF
Cheswlck, who has been in the mine
for two hours, has just come to the
surface and told the associated Press
representative that in his opinion not
one of the miners who were In the
shaft at the time of the explosion Is
alive.
The body of Selwyn Taylor was
brought to the surface at 1925 a.. m.
He evidently had been dead several
hours.

American dollars was resumed after
twenty years prohibition. The impor-

he said, upon the part Of the banks, but
was forced upon them by the military
authorities practically at the point Of
the bayonet. American soldiers enter
ed the banks, demanding local currency
for gold, some enforcing their de-
mands at the muzzle of revolver.
There were $4,000 troops landed

Jours, on his part, found himself una

Secretary Root Recommends
Bonus for Philippine Car.
rylng Trade.
Globe Special Washington Service,
1A4z


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 22.-Sec-
Fetary Root strongly favors the move
ment to restrict as far as possible the
shipment of army and navy supplies to
American vessels, but the officers of the
luartermaster's department are skep-
tical. Mr.. Root does not. approve OF
the bill recently introduced which pro-
Vides that American ships only shall be
allowed to transport supplies between
The United States and the Philippines
He does, however, favor accepting the
bids of American ship owners, when
these bids are not more than 25 or 80
per cent in excess of the bids of foreign
ship owners.
The senate committee on commerce
was little startled at the reply re-
ceived from the war department last
week to certain questions propeunded
by the committee. One of these In
quiries called for the amounts of army
supplies that had been shipped to the
Philippines in American and foreign
vessels since 1899. The quartermaster
generals answer says that of the 49,
,59S feet of lumber shipped during
that period, all but 1,219,626 was sent
in foreign bottoms; that of the 248,-
COS tons Of general merchandise and
IN foreign bottoms; and that of the
S,911 head of live stock, none were car
ried in ships flying the American flag.
Favors Bill of 1902.
The bill now pending in the senate
would absolutely restrict the shipment
of these supplies to American ships
but Secretary Root, upon being asked,
says this won't do, because the govern
ment would be placed at the mercy Of q
few ship OWnerS-at least so far as the
Atlantic coast is concerned; and be-
cause the bids of American owners
have been uniformly higher than those
of the foreign owners.
Mr.. Root does, however, favor bill
that was introduced in the house nearly
two years ago, but certain congress-
men thought they saw in it the specter
of ship subsidy, and they would have
none of it. Mr.. Root now tells the
chairman of the senate committee on
commerce, as he did two years ago, that
the bill ought to be passed. The meas
ure simply provides that American
ships shall carry our government sup
plies to the Philippines in case their
bids are not more than 10 per cent
higher than the bids of foreign carriers.
Secretary Root goes further than he did
two years ago, for he says
This would, it seems to me, best
accomplish the desired object of doing
the government business in such a way
as to promote American shipping.
should be in favor of increasing the
preference to, say, % or 80 per cent"
During the last ten days there has
been an active correspondence between
the senate committee on commerce and
the war department on the proposition
to favor American ship owners in the
government carrying business between
the United States and the Philippines.
lNhis correspondence has brought out a
lot of information which is interest
ing, even when considered apart from
the immediate issue. For example, the
