lively admitted that all of the men
who were in the mine when the ex-
plosion occurred are dead. There are
III names on the list, which does
not include Selwyn NJ. Taylor. or the
two men who were on the tipple
above the mine shaft when the ex-
plosion came. Nor does the list in
clude the name of Daniel Lysle OF
Castle-Shannon. whose body was
found in the mine this morning. He
was one of the men who went down
in the mine to work last night, but
became separated from the rest and
wandered far ahead of the air. His
body was found sitting with his back
to the wall of one of the rooms. He
had evidently been overcome bv the
after-damp.
This brings the official number of
known dead up to 174, but the list
may still be Incomplete. as it is pos
sible that some boys may have gone
into the pit to work under their faith
ers direction. whose names have not
yet been ascertained.

NO AMENDMENTS NEEDED.
The Canal Treaty Reported to Senate
in Its Original Form.

Washington, January 27.-The Sen
ate committee on foreign relations to-
day took action on the Panama canal
treaty which, in effect, rescinds its
former adoption of amendments. Sem
ator Cullom, chairman Of the commit
tee was authorized to report a dis
agreement on the amendments al
ready reported which action is equiva-
lent to reporting the treaty in its
original form.
This course of the committee is in
accordance with the decision reached
by the Republican Senators more than
a week ago not to permit any amend
ment Of the convention. Assurance
having been given to the state depart
ment and communicated to the senate
that the Panama republic will permit
the harbor improvements and sanitary
regulations desired by the United
States government, the need tor
amendments to the treaty has been
removed and the alterations recon-
mended by the committee are held to
be superflous. 1t is believed by the
administration that the interests of
this government are fully protected
now and that it is not advisable t,
change the convention and send it to
Panama for ratification of the amend
mentS,

Pittsbur. Pa. January 27.-Three
days have elapsed since the terrible
catastrophe at the Harwick mine of
the Allegheny Coal Company and to-
night at midnight. al bodies have
been recovered and brought to the
surface. Only eighteen of these have
been identified. The day has been
one of horror in the little village of
the hill above the pit-mouth. but
even while the blackened bodies were
brought from the top of the shaft
and taken on sleds to the school
house on the hill above, where the
undertakers were ready to receive
them, there seemed to prevail in the
community as a clutch that repressed
their natural feelings of passionate
anxiety and sorrow, the grim realiza-
ton that there is still much work to
be done before the full extent OF the
catastrophe has been realized.

forty persons were injured today in

heavily loaded cars on the South
Broadway line. Seven men lie Sc
riously injured at the Alexian Broth

they may die. The limbs Of two were
SO badly crushed that amputation
was necessary. Others were bruised
and trampled on.
Both cars were northbound and
travelling in a smoke fog so dense
that it was impossible to see objects

Chicago. January G.-Mayor Carer
FL. Harrison was today ordered by
Judge Richard 8. Tuth:l to be immedi-
xtely discharged from custody in con-
nection with any responsibility for the
wholesale loss of life in the IroQuois
theatre fire.
The judge declared that the mayor
was in no way whatever guilty or La
bic. and that the coroner's jury in or
dering Mayor Harrison hed to the
grand jury had put an unjust stigma
upon the mayor. who h I'D failed in no
particular whatever either in omission
or commission.
Mayor Harrison was Ieleased on {.
writ of habeas corpus which was su ID
out before Judge TuthiIl, after the may
or had surrendered himself to the GUS
tody OF the sheriff
In delivering his opinian. Judge Tut
hill said:
II have gone over the testimony OF
Fire Marshal Musham and B4ilding

qualification or hesitation, that l find

ter Or that he was in any respect neg
hgent of any duty imposed upon him
by the laws or by the rules that COM
monty apply to persons who are reSpOn-
sible for the safety Of others.
1T seems to me it would be gust as
logical to say that because there should
be a destruction of a building at WeSC
Point or Annapolis, by fire. and lives
should he lost there, tc say that The
President OF the United States should
be held over by a coroner's jury to an
swer for an indictment by a grand Jury

Now the mayor OF the city occupies
relatively the same position that The
governor does, and that the president
does. 1t seems to me that it is q very
great wrong to place upon the mayor
OF the city this undeserved stigma
without any basis in the law or in the
facts

DOPE" flEHD is MURDERER
HARRY BETIR CHARGED WITH
KILLING MISS SCHAEFER.
Since the Day of the Murder Behr
Has Been Staying at a Negro's
House Smoking Opium-Suspicions
That Point to Him.

Louisville, KY. January T.-With his
clothing in several places clotted with
blood and his face badly scratched.
Harry Behr was stoday taken into Gus
tody as a suspect in connection with
the murder of Miss Sarah Schafe-.
at Bedford. md. on the night of jan
uary 21st.
Chief of Detectives sullivan and De
tective Maher arrested Behr at the
home of Roger White. negro with
with whom he has been boarding since
the day following the murder. The
grounds given for Behr's arrest 1rs
stated as follows:
Behr was met by the negro White
on Friday morning on January 22nd,
the day following the murder. Behr
was coming from the Louisville dock
of the ferry line running to Jefferson
VILE Ind. Bedford is 75 miles from
Louisville. Behr after his arrest told
an uncertain and disconnected story
to account for his whereabouts at the
time OF the murder and in explanation
of wounds on his face. Some portions
Of his story are contradicted by Ills
mother who lives in Memphis and
other statements by Mrs. Behr fall To
fully substantiate details as to time.
According to the story Of the negro
White, Behr asked for permission TO
board with him and smoke a little
dope. White assented and Behr went
to the negro's home where he remain
ed until his arrest going out but twice
for brief intervals. Two days ago
Behr produced newspapers containing
accounts of the Schaefer murder and
asked Lizzie White to read to him the
story of the murder. He was smoking
opium frequently and was twice heard
to say that had a wornan's blood on
his clothing. This morning Behr
awoke from stupor induced by the
pipe and screamed for Lizzie White,
calling out that he had killed a woman
The negro notified the detectives and
the arrest followed.
To. the officers Behr stated that he
was a native of Memphis and gave the
address of his mother there. He de-
clared that he left Memphis last Thurs
day night, coming to Louisville and
remaining here. The cuts on his face
he claimed to have received during the
turbulent municipal election at Mem
phis January Z. The local officers are
now following up two tramps. Some
are endeavoring to follow Beh1 s
movements from Memphis. Others
have instituted an inquiry as to the
possibility of his having ridden out Of
Bedford on a Monon freight on tha
night of the murder.
Bedford Ind, January 27.-The Of
ficials and detectives in charge of the
investigation here have received no
official notification of the arrest OF
Harry Behr at Louisville and do not
believe that he is in any way connected
with the murder of Miss Schaefer
The belief is growing among the iG:-
Investigators that the murderer was Il
negro and his motive criminal assault.
, IT is claimed evidence points to this
conclusion. =.

St. Petersburg, January g--The ex-
changes regarding the Russian re-
sponse to the japanese note are still
progressing, and the foreign office
here announces today that there Is no
changes in the situation. The Japa-
anese legation does not credit the re-
port from Toxic that Japan has re-
Quested Russia to hasten her reply.
NJ. Kurino. the japanese minister has
received no instructions on the sub
ject. On the contrary, he apparently
realizes that the delay is consequent
upon exchanges between ST. Peters
burg. Viceroy Alexieff and Baron de
Rosen. the Russian minister at Toxic.
NJ Kurino reiterates his opinion that
Japan will not press Russia for a
reply.
Prince Kuhilkof, minister of railroad
communications. will leave here in
few days for Irkutsk to inspect the
nearly completed railroad line around
Lake Baikal, which connects the two

connection, which will permit tie
movement of through trains is consid-
ed of great advantage. especially in
the event of winter military exigencIes.
The cZar when voicing his approval of
Prince Kuhilkoffs mission said in sub
stance that he desired peace, which
be believed would not be broken. but
that it was proper to be prepared for
all emergencies.

that the cabinet, assisted by the elder
