TEN MINERS KILLED.
The Gage in Which They Were Being
Lowered Fell 1,4oo Feet.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Nov. 3.-One Of
the most appalling mine accidents in
the history of the Wyoming valley for
many years occurred at No. ] Auchin-
Gloss shaft, operated by the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Coal Co. at
Nanticoie, early Wednesday morning,
by which ten men were hurled to in
stant death and three seriously in
jured. The men were mostly all upon
the mine carriage to fe lowered to
the workings below.
The signal was given to the en-
ginear, who began lowering the men.
The carriage had gone hut few feet
when the engineer lost control of mis-
engines, owing to the reverse levers
failing to work, and the carriage, with
its load of human freight, ten in all,
was dashed beyond the Ross vein,
landing nearly LOO feet below the
surface and from there they were
precipitated 300 feet further into a
sump.
Those who may not have been
killed outright were without doubt
dropped in the sump, which is fully so
feet deep with water.
The victims all resided in Nanti-
coke and most of them leave families.
They were Poles or Slavs with the eX-
ception of one named John kempe.

ASSAULTS FAILED.

Che Foo, Nov. 5.-Information has
been brought by Chinese that the six
days of bombardment and desperate
efforts on the part of the beseigers to
take the fortress at Port Arthur
ceased Wednesday. The Japanese
took Fort No. 3, but were unable to
hold it. The Japanese losses are re
ported to be enormous.
1t is reported that the Japanese
killed or wounded in front of Port Ar
thur during the last three months ap
prOXimate 10000
p There are persistent rumors that
the Japanese have occupied the forts
of Rihlung Mountain and certain forts
Of the Kelwan Mountain group, but
well informed japanese here consider
these rumors as premature. Thes
Japanese, however, are confident tha
the end of the Russian occupation of
Port Arthur is fast approaching.
The fact that Gen. Nogi, com
mander of the third Japanese army
before Port Arthur, has allowed press
dispatches to leave the front of the
base of his operations is looked upon
rs strongly indicating the confident
spirit of the besegers.

THE EARTH WAS SHAKEN.
TON OF DYNAMITE EXPLODED AT
MT. VERNON, N. Y.
Forty People Were lnjured-The Ex-
piosion Tore Hole in the =.
Ground 80 Feet Deep-Train
Had a Narrow Escape.

Mount Vernon, n. Y, Nov. 3.-The
explosion of over a ton of dynamite
under the Bond street bridge here
yesterday shook the city and the sur
rounding country within a radius of
five miles, probably killed at least one
person and injured nearly 40 others,
three of whom may die. The man
supposed to have been killed was an
italian in charge of the dynamite. He
was seen at his post of duty just be-
fore the explosion and no trace of him
has since been found.
There were 1900 pounds of dyna-
mite stored at the side of the deep
rock cut running from the western
limits of the city to the New York,
New Haven && Hartford railroad sta
ton, which was used for blasting a
path for additional tracks.
The explosion tore a hole in the
ground so feet deep that is now full of
water from a hidden spring, wrecked
the Bond street bridge over the rail
way tracks and broke all the windows
within a quarter of a mile. The force
of the explosion, as is usual, was
downward, but the upheaval along the
sides of the cut hurled large stones
for blocks. Many houses were shifted
from their foundations, walls were
stripped of plaster and furniture was
splintered.
A heavy train, bound for New York,
was just pulling out of the Mount Yer
non station when the explosion oc-
cured and the engineer stopped until
tho tranly nloar In nnnthnT min
ute his train would have reached the
bridge.
Most of the persons injured were
caught by falling ceilings and walls in
the houses nearby. Stoves in stores
and dwellings were overturned and
many fires were started, but in each
case the flames We're quickly eX
tinguished.

VERDICT OF coRoNER's JURY.
Without Provocation Was the Attack
on English Trawlers by Russian
Warships

Hull, Eng, Nov. 3.-"That George
Smith and William Leggett were, at
about 1890 a. IN. on October %, while
ont fishing with travis aboard the
British steam trawler Crane, with
board of trade marks exhibited and
regulation lights burning, killed by
shots fired without warning or provo
cation from certain Russian war YES
sells at a distance of about quarter
of a mile"
This is the irry's verdict at the
coroner's inquest on the fishermen
victims of the North Sea tragedy. At
the request of the British government
this conservative award was rendered
by the first court of inquiry preced-
ing the sessions of the international
tribunal. The government asked the
jury not to find a verdict of willful
murder or manslaughter because
delicate negotiations are going on,
which should not be made more diff
cult, and they ought not to let anyone
think they had prejudged the case be-
fore having heard both sides"
In consequence the jury simply set
forth the facts proved by the evidence
of physicians, experts on explosives
and the trawlers themselves.

JAPs' MOVE FLANkED.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 3.--There is
considerable anxiety here over the
military situation. Little news has
been received from Mukden, Gen.
Sakharoff's telegram of November /
merely indicating that matters We're
at a deadlock around Shakhe. The
Japanese have made some moves on
both fanks, which were checked, but
there are no signs of general ad-
vance by their army. Foreign reports
from Port Arthur are decidedly
gloomy. While the authorities con-
tinue TO profess confidence in Gen.
Stoessels ability to hold out, the
popular feeling is that the heroic gar
rison must now be near the limit Of
human endurance.
London, Nov. 3.--The Daily Mail, in
a letter from Hakodate, describes Jap

valuable cargoes of furs, the result of

SIEGE OF PORT ARTHUR.

Headquarters of the Third Japanese
Army, in Front of Port Arthur, by way
of Che Foo, Nov. 4.-The Japanese
are now in a position to commence
the beginning of the end of the oper-
ations to capture the eastern fortified
ridges. Their siege park has been
completed by the placing of 11-incb
howitzers. During the night of Oc.
tober 20 all the reserves advanced
through a network of trenches in
front of the eastern fortified ridges.
The bombardment began at dawn
October 30 and infantry attacks were
planned at noon against Rihlung
mountain and on three Keekwan forts
The Japanese now occupy positions
which place the east side of the town
at their mercy.
The last assault has gained for
them positions which insure their
ability to enter the main east forts
whenever they are ready.
London, Nov. A dispatch to a
news agency from st. Petersburg says
Lieut.. Gen. Stoessel, commander OF
the Russian troops at Port Arthur, is
reported to be wounded in the leg.
The Daily Telegraph's Che Foo cor.
respondent, telegraphing Thursday,
says that the Japanese losses during
the last assault on Port Arthur were
heavier than on any of the previous
attacks. The bombardment, he says,
was so fierce that the streets of Dalny
were said to tremble as though from
an earthquake.

Parliamentary Elections in Canada
Resulted in a Triumph for Premier
Laurier

Ottawa, Ont, Nov 4.-~The Domin-
ion parliamentary elections were held
Thursday. The returns point to the
reelection of a Laurier government
with majority of between 60 and 20
in the house of commons, which is
composed of PA members. This is a
liberal gain of about Is. The conserv-
ative leader, r. l.. Borden, was de
feated in his own constituency in
Nova Scotia. The province of Quebec,
Laurier's home, sustained the pre-
mier by returning a large liberal ma
jority. The campaign was brief and
remarkably free from political rancor,
the principal issue being the construc-
ton of the Grand Trunk Pacific rail
road with government aid, a project
favored by the liberal government.
