England and Russia Are Celebrating
Details Of Investigation.

London, Nov. 3,-The negotiations
between the British and Russian gov.
ernments in regard to the interna.
tional commission, which Is to inves.
tigate the North sea incident, are pro.
crossing apparently TO the satisfac.
uon of both sides. The foreign Of
Noe stated to the Associated Press
that nothing had been definitely set
tied regarding the personnel, date or
place. The foreign office added that
Invitations win be sent to several
powers to send representatives, but
to which powers and what representa-.
tives is yet undecided. So far as at
present decided, Admiral Sir Cyprian
Bridge will sit only at the board OF
trade inquiry at Hull. The foreign Of.
nee further stated that It knows OF
no hitch in the proceedings.
1t is now regarded as almost GER
tain the commission will sit in Paris
Some of the morning newspapers
consider the fact that Russia was not
represented at the coroner's inquest
at Hull as a virtual admission of her
inability to controvert the fisheTmen's 8
plain unvarnished story of the North
sea affair.
1t is announced from Gibraltar that
the experimental land and sea mobil-
ization is now completed. According
to stories, this alarming experiment
was the outcome of new ideas which
Admiral Sir John Fisher has taken
to the admiralty. His contention is
that tests in times of peace are much
less valuable than when "waT is in
the air" Accordingly, the Chronicle
says, he seized upon the incidents of
Tuesday as a psychological opportun-
ity to test the nerves, as well as the
skill and efficiency, of the forces.

drowned in the sump, which is fully
fifty feet deep with water. No human
aid could reach them and every man
on the Inflated carriage has been
given up for lost.
The victims, who were miners and
laboTers, resided in Nantlcoke, and
most Of them leave families. They
were Poles and Slavs, with the excep-
tion Of one, John Kemper Intense
excitement continues TO Dreyail about
the mouth OF the shaft. Women and
children are running about crying
and moaning for those at the bottom.
There are fully seventy-fve miners
and laborers in the mine dragging the
sump for the bodies, and 1t may re.
quire two or three days before any
Of the dead can be recovered.
The three men injured were bruised
and cut about the body by nying
wreckage while standing at the mouth
Of the shaft ready to descend.

of at least IA others, which also found in sea
