WITH BULLET IN BRAIN
BoDy OF EDGAR ALLEN FOUND IN
 VIRGINIA.
Prominent Republican Leaves His Son to the President Who Ignored
 Fathers Forty Years of Party Service.

Richmond, Va, Oct. 2s.-Edgar Allen, formerly United States District Attor- ney, a prominent Grand Army man. and who had figured here in Republican poIitics since reconstruction days. was found this morning near Union Theoio- gical Seminary in Henrico County with a bullet in his brain and a pistol clutched in his hand. It is regarded as A clear case of suicide.
 On the back of letter found on the body is written the following:
 "Give Judge Witt my record during reconstruction. It is in Eyckenrodes book, and my little book case. and ask him to write my true history and de- fend me from my defamers of whom w. has been the worst. I hope my false friends will be truer now. commend my only boy to the President who ignores the forty years his father has given to the Republican Party. Eddie, Edith, lola. Edgar. Stella and the little ones will grieve for me, but don't blame me. for have done my best for you all, my life"
 The letter, which is bulky one and which has not been opened was ad- dressed to Edgar Allen. The dead man was neatly dressed as usual. Recently the Republicans here had been in a factionaI fight. Allen leading the "outs" against the "fns."

or exceeding his plurality by 24.4i9 votes. In 1895, an off year, the ma tority of the Republican candidate for Secretary of State was y0.u00, and two years later Roosevelt squeezed through with less than 1s,0oo in a total vote of 1,347.S79. In New York County, Roosevelt. as candidate for governor boiled ll2.S06 votes while Cohen and Daley, running for judgeship on the same Republican state ticket. ran ahead of Roosevelt respectively. $500 and $500 votes.
 With all the manifold duties of his complex position as charman of the Republican National Committee and as chief collector of ways and means from the trusts and corporations, nothing keeps him busier-than Mir. Roosevelt. Chairman Cortelyou makes two telephone reports each day to the President and Is obliged to send him by night a report of considerable length. The telephone reports are ex- tended talk by long distance phone the Chairman taking down the words of the President in shorthand and having them transcribed for the edi- fcation and direction of the other mem- bers of the Republican Committee.
 Roosevelt Cortely0u's Master.
 There Is no more doubt now than ever there was that in appointing Cor teiyou chairman of the Republican Na- tionaI Committee Roosevelt meant to use a man over whom he was com plete master, taking directly into the executive hands the management and domination of the affairs of the com mittee.
 It is seen that there was ground a plenty for the apprenhension which ho and huatnNaa of the old -timc Republicans who had been accustomed to take no mean or small part in the great national campaigns; they werc not quite used to being treated as the irresponsible minions of a one-man power even in the Re- publican party. Mark Hanna had not treated them as so many sheep to be shuffled and shambled aside. He took them into his confidence and listened with cheerful respect to what they had to suggest as good to gain votes Tor the party. So the old timers kicked Justify at the appointment of Roose- yelt's man Cortelyou: many of them are kicking yet, though the exercises has turned into self castigation. They are kicking themselves.
 A war-horse of old, who tried to show that his neck was still clothed with thunder for the battle of the campaign, but who now is about as bold as the other sheep. was heard to say at the Republican headduarters this weeks
 T thought I knew something about running a campaign, but I'm afraid not. After twelve years of study l find that we are nothing but lot of messenger boys for Washington. We don't dare to take the initiative in any thing or to spend $10 without the ap- proval of Washington"

MANY DEAD
 IN A MINE Thirty or Forty Dead From Explosion. DUST BELIEVED THE CAUSE Rocks and Debris Rain for a Minute. Probably the Number lxflled will New CT Be Known as sAeir Bodies VIII Bs Crematsa by Re
 sultinG Fire.
 

Trinidad, Colo, Oct. 2s.--A terri1lo explosion occurred at Mine No. g, ok the Rocky Mountain Fuel q Iron Com- pany. at Teroio. forty miles due west of Trinidad this afternoon. and the num- Der of dead is varfously placed be- tween thirty and forty men.
 The number reported as having zone Into the mine this morning was seven- teen miners and four company men. This afternoon many more miners are known to have gone into the mine and the exact number of dead may never be known as the mine is burning ana In all Likelihood the bodies will bs cremated.
 United States government Inspector 8. J. Foreman was at Teroio when the explosion occurred. He returned here tonight and gives the following account of the affair.
 Inspector Tells of Horror.
 T was standing not more than 800 yards of the mouth of the tunnel when the explosion occurred. The explosion was preceded by a low rumbling sound resembling an earthquake which mada the earth trembie and startled the whole camp.
 T looked toward the mine and out of the mouth of the tunnel and two air shafts came a volume of smoke and
 
 ute. Out of the air shafts each of winch are seven feet in diameter, timbsrs that were fully two to three feet in diameter were shot into the air and broken in splinters.
 Rocks were thrown over the camp for a distance of quarter of a mile. In fact it raincd rocks, broken tina- bers and all kinds of debris for fully a minute and many people were injured by being struck with these missiles.
 The explosion, which was for ali the world like volcanic eruption. caused the widest excitement. Wo- men. men and children rushed to the mouth of the tunnel and women whose husbands were in the niine. had to be brought away by miners to keep them from being killed by the deadly fumes coming from the mouth of the tunnel. l" Assistamce from Other Camps.
 The mine in which the accident oo- cured works eighty men and 1t Is bee lieved that at least sixty men were in the mine at the time. News of the explosion brought assistance from the adjacent camps and tonight hundreds of men are trying to get into the mine. Deadly fumes overcome the rescuers frequently but their places are imme- diately taken by others ready to risk their lives. It is not thought possi- ble that one in the mine can escape death. if they are not all dead already. It will be impossible to secure names of the dead and injured tonight. Near ly all the miners are Slavs. The ex- plosion Is supposed to have been caused by dust. But one body has been recovered, that of T. Duran, a | driver. who was just entering the tun- nel when the explosion occurred.

Calamity led by Desborough himself,
who saw in one sweeping glance that
Katharine was still safe, the men,
with axes and knives, hacked through
the rigging which held the wreck of
the giant spars to the ship, and after
few moments of sick ening suspense
she drifted clear. A bit of storm can
vas was spread forward on the wreck
OF the foremost, and the ship got be-
fore the wind and drove on, laboring
and pitching in the heavy sea.
The decks were. cleared, and indeed
there was little left to clear, the waves
having broken over her several times
when she lay in the trough of the sea,
sweeping everything out with them,
and the vessel was a total wreck, the
spars gone, rails and bulwarks batter
ed in and smashed, boats lost, the bat
tie having destroyed those on the star
board side and the wreck and the sea
the others. Stop! There was one boat
left amidships, launch capable Of
holding about forty persons in pinch,
and still seaworthy. It was, by the
captains order, promptly made as serv-
iceable as possible in view of the prob
able emergency.
About o'clock in the afternoon the
carpenter came aft with the sounding
rod of the well in his hand. The strain
had been too much for her; some of
the weakened timbers had given away,
or some of the seams had opened, or
perhaps butt had started, for the ship
was leaking badly. Still those daunt-
were told off in gangs to work, and all
night the clank, clank of the pumps
was heard. Katharine dutifully laid
down as she was hidden. But there
was no sleep for her nor any one else
on the ship that long night. The day
broke again finally, but brought them
no cheer. Their labor had been un-
awaiting: the leak had gained on them
SO rapidly that the ship lay low in the
water, listless and inert, rolling in a
sick, sluggish, helpless way in the
trough of the sea. The wind had abat-
ed somewhat, and boat we'll handled
might live in the water now
BY Captain Vincent's direction the
men were sent to their stations on the
spar, or upper, deck The boats crew
was ShoSSA NY SeLectlHS every ulleeuLu
man in the long lines, the division of
fcers doing the counting. The boat
was launched without tackles, by main
strength, sliding on rollers over the
side through the broken bulwarks
Katharine, listless and Indifferent, still
attended by Chloe, was put aboard.
Captain Vincent looked about among
his officers. Whom should he put in
charger They all looked deprecatingly
and entreatingly at him. None desired
to go; no one wished to be singled out
to abandon the ship and his brother of
ficers. His glance fell on Desborough
The duty is yours. You are the first
officer Of the Ship
