PEACE PROSPECTS
MORE HOPEFUL

London, Jan. ga statement is
published in London this morning with
an air OF authority, to the effect that
the question of n neutral zone has dis
appeared from the Russo-Japanese ne
gotiations. Although it is impossible
to confirm this statement it agrees with
other inspired statemel that Russia
has acquiesced to Japan's views regard
ing the integrity OF Corea and that the
only trouble now remaining relates to-
Manchuria.
Special dispatches from st. Peters
burg to the Telegraph and Mail assert
that Russa's reply to the latest Jap
anese note was drawn up yesterday at n
ministerial council at which the Gar
presided. The tenor of this reply ia.
courteous but firm. Nothing has been
given out officially concerning this re
ply. but it is understood, according to-
messages from St Petersburg, that
Russia maintains that Manchuria must
remain amenable. politically and STRAIT
egically, to Russian influence the con-
cessions made being only of 4 CONNER
cial character.
Two cable dispatches, originating
with w. T. Stead and w. r. Cremer.
NJ. p. were sent tonight to the Gear
of Russia and the Mikado of japan.
urging that, if diplomacy failed, they
submit the far Eastern dispute to The
Hague Tribunal. The messages are
lengthy. and they appeal specially to
the Gar as "the courageous originator
of The Hague conference" to take tho
initiative in referring the matter to-
The Hague.

THIRTEEN KILLED
IN VICTOR TIME

Victor, Colo, Jan. 26.-The worst ac-
pie Creek district happened this morn
ing. The disaster occurred at 2:45 a.
H. at STATIONS Independence mine, To-
Gated about thousand feet from the
business center of this city. Fifteen
miners were killed outright. In the
main shaft of the mine sixteen men
were being hoisted on the cage from
the sixth. seventh and. eighth levels.
When the cage got to the surface in
the shaft house, Engineer Frank Gel
lese in charge of the big hosting en-
CINE in some way that is yet to be eX-
planned was unable to stop the engine,
which drew the cage with its human
load up into the gallows frame up into
the sheaves. The cable parted, releas-
ing the cage, which went down the
shaft with fourteen of the men at ter
rifle momentum.
Two of the men who went up with
the cage to the top of the gallows
frame were caught in the timber rods
there.
One of them. l.. E. Jackson, man
about fifty-five years of age, was in
stantly killed by the sheave wheel fall
ing upon him. His body was pinned in
the timber.
The other man, James Bullock, had
marvellous escape. He received some
severe bruises and some scalp wounds,
but was rescued from the top timbers
without being fatally injured.
AS SOoI as the fact of the disaster
was learned by the men in the shaft
house, a score of miners was sent down
on the donkey hoisting cage through
another compartment of the shaft for
the purpose OF determining where the
fallen cage and its occupants had
gone to.
Their bodies were found scattered at
the stations at different points.
The following is a full list OF the
killed:
w. R. Frazier, John Sebeck, Joe
Smitherum, Edward Twiggen, l.. A.
Wagner, H. A. Yeoman. Edward
Smith. Joe Overy, H. F. Brown. w. B.
Collins. ]. L. Steward. Frank Coch-
rane, l.. P. Jackson, Harry Cogene.
The cage fell close to 1900 feet. 1t
plunged into the stump at the 1,400-foot
level. where there is depth of TWEEN
ty-five feet of water. Some of the
men were carried down with the cage
into the stump. Just how many is not
yet known.

The explosion occurred at $50 o.
clock yesterday morning, and the first
warning was the sudden rumble under
ground, and then q sheet of flame fol-

cages were hurled through the ipple.
twenty feet above the landing stage,
and the three men on the tipple were
hurled to the ground
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 when the
days work was done, were both demol-
ished
There were calls for assistance and
surgical aid from the men in charge of
the mine. but 1t was not until 4 o'clock
in the afternoon that the first attempt
at rescue was made.
Shortly after o'clock Selwyn NJ.
Taylor and one of his assistants sig
nailed for the engineer to lower them
into the shaft. from which Taylor was
later brought out dead.

ANNOUNCEMENT BY
STATE UNIVERSITY

Denver, Jan. 26.-An important pub
LEGATION consisting of some twenty-five
pages has just been issued from the
University of Colorado containing
complete statement of the revised ad-
mission requirements which have been
adopted as the outcome of the Uni
versity and High School conferences
which took place in Boulder last
month. The new requirements are in
conformity with the recommendations
of the North Central Association of
Colleges and Secondary Schools. The
statement contains a complete resume
of the high school curriculum and en-

of the high school subjects of study.

School of Mines, adopted as its stand
ard of requirements, sixteen units, eX-
ceptionally exacting, the average num-
Der OF units In preparatory study re-
quired by the leading universities be-

another step of great Importance re-
Gently taken by the university is i'm
piled in the decision to confer only the
one degree. the standard Bachelor of
Arts, and to drop the. degrees of Bach
elor of Science and Bachelor of Philos-
ophy. Hitherto the university has re-
CURED Greek for the A. B. degree, but
this requirement has been given up by
many of the older institutions and it
seemed advisable for the University of
Colorado to align itself with the gen.
eral movement. Henceforth English
will be the only subject absolutely re-
quired from a student, but in his 9TH

consistent work in chosen depart
