THE NORTH SEA INQUIRY.
An American and British Officer TO Be on

JOHN HAY,
Secretary Of State.

St. Petersburg (By Cable).-Nego-
tiations regarding the North Sea court
of inquiry have not yet been con.
cluded. The terms Of the draft Of
the treaty for the constitution OF the
court are now under consideration by
the Emperor, who may desire some
notifications, in which case resub-
mission of the draft to London will,
of course. be necessary, but the
amendments, if any, are not expected
to be of importance. One of the
points already agreed upon is that
Great Britain and Russia will jointly
propose that France and the United
States appoint high naval officer as
a member of the court, which prob
ably will sit in Paris
The four officers of the Russian Bal
tic Squadron who, it was originally
arranged, were to remain in Paris I'M

brush OF Verestchagin to picture the
awfulness of the siege. The letter
continues:
The uncanny part OF it all is that
men meet death in utter silence. One
sees the fercest of fights, but hears
no sound. One moonlight night, at
Else Mountain, watched all assault
of a ghostly mass of moving figures
through which continual lanes were
made by our guns, admitting glimpses
of scenes behind. These gaps were
closed up as if by magic, and the
masses surged onward while our men,
forsaking the trenches, sought the
shelter Of the forts.
con they came until, when they
were close up to us, the mines ex-
ploded ard the earth opered. Bodies
were buried high in the air and then
sank again to earth. Hands clutched
rifles, and in the moonlight the bay

The determination Of the japanese
TO reduce Port Arthur as soon as
possible is explained in measure by
official confirmation OF the report that
Admiral Togo lost his finest battle
ship. the Yashima, last summer. She
struck a Russian mine outside Dalny
and went to the bottom. The news
that the ship had been sunk was con-
tradicted at the time by the Japanese
Government.
The loss of the Yashima left the
japanese with only four-class battle
ships. The Russians have five bat
tleships, more or less damaged. In
the harbor at Port Arthur Admiral
Rojestvensky, with the Baltic fleet
now en- route to Port Arthur, has five
battleships. In battleship strength
the Russians outclass the japanese
two to one, but Admiral Togo is
greatly superior in armored cruisers
and in skilled fighters on the sea.

was excited, and his bullets went wide

balancing That Of the Miners.

Wilkesbarra, Pa. (SpeciaD.-One OF
the most appalling mine accidents III
the history of the Wyoming Valley
for many years past occurred at NO /
Auchincloss shaft, operated by the
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western
Coal Company, at Nanticoke, at an
early hour in the morning, by which
10 men were hurled to instant death
and three seriously injured. The men
were upon the mine carriage to be
lowered to the workings below.
The signal was given to the engl-
neer, who began lowering the men.
The carriage had gone but few feet
when the engineer lost control OF his
engines, owing to the reverse levers
failing to work, and the carriage, with
its load, was dashed beyond the Ross
vein landing nearly LOO feet below
the surface, and from there they were
plecipitated 800 feet further into a
stump.
Those who may not have been kill
ed outright were without doubt
drowned in the stump, which is fully
so feet deep with water.
The victims, VINO were miners and
laborers, all resided in Nanticoke, and
most OF them leave families. They
were Poles or Slavs, with the excep-
ton OF one named John Kemper.
There are fully Is miners and la
borers in the mine dragging the stump
for the bodies, and it may require two
or three days before any of the dead
can be recovered.
The cage containing the men had all
the safety appliances, and it appears
that after dropping 1000 feet the cage
caught in the safety fastenings, but it
was brought to a stop so suddenly
that the bottom dropped out, and the
men fell out and landed in the stump,
a distance Of 700 feet farther down
the shaft.
