NINE FIRE GAINS HEADWAY.
Safety OF the village OF Excelsior, Pa,
Overhead, Ii Endangered

SHAMoKIN, Pa, Oct. 17.-The fire In the
Enterprise mine, which started on Saturday
morning, has assumed such alarming pro-
portions that fears are entertained that
part OF the village OF Excelsior, underneath
which the mine runs, may be swallowed
up by cave-ins, II the fire cannot be checked.
The Pennsylvania and Reading railroads
are also in peril. They run over part OF
the danger zone.
Officials Of both companies, after 60
ing over the maps, found that only 1870
feet OF ground separated the tracks from
the mines. All trains are now passing
over the underground workings with much
caution. Watchmen patrol the tracks and
portable telegraph offices have been con-
struc.ed 30 that the headquarters Of each
company may be in momentary grasp Of
the situation.
The mine fire has ragged SO fercely that
all the timber in the stope has been con-
sumed, and 1t is thought the flames pushed
their way to the mammoth vein and ig-
nited it, This vein is the thickest and
best in the coal field, and IL it becomes
ignited thoroughly 1t may take years to
conquer the blaze. Mine Inspector Evans
OF this district said this afternoon IL the
fire was not out in few days 1t would r.
quire many months before the end could be
seen.

DISORDER IN CUBAN HOUSE.
Public Expelled for Making Attacks on
President Palma.

Special Gable Despatch TO THE SUN.
HAVANA, Oct. I'm tho House Of Rep
resentatives to-day a message was read
from President Palma asking for an ap-
preparation of 81 500 900 for public works,
nearly million of which it is proposed to
expend in Santiago province. The mes
sage was referred to a committee. Several
Moderates and Liberals declared that the
motive prompting the request for the ap-
preparation was a desire to obtain votes
by spending the public funds.
The session degenerated into small
riot, in which the spectators in the public
gallery took part. Several uncomplment-
airy remarks were made regarding President
Palma, which resulted in the public bt ing
expelled from the House
There are some attacks upon President
Palma in the local papers. which are
prompted by political or possibly financial
motives. The ground of attack is that the
President fahified the reciprocity treaty
when he raised the tariffs, but power to do
this was conferred upon the President by
the Congress last January. No figures are
given to sustain the attacks.

SUES FOX AND LAFE GLEASON.
American Political League Man Wants
$4,000 From Each Of EN-.

Secretary Reuben L. Fox Of the Repub-
lioan county committee and Lafayette B.
Gleason, head Of the committees bureau
Of speakers, have been sued for SANDER
by William L. Ellsworth, president Of the
American Political League. The suit has
been begun in the Supreme Court and
summonses were served yesterday on
Messrs Fox and Gleason, from whom
damages to the amount Of $4,000 each
are claimed.
From Mr., Slosson it was learned last
night tibet in 1902 Ellsworth made claim
against the county committee for $500 for
political services. COL Dunn, the then
chairman of the committee, said that he had
agreed to pay Ellsworth only 500. Els
worth sued for the $500 and finally Col.
Dunn paid the money to avoid fighting the
case In the court. In the preliminary
papers filed for the defence in the case
there was letter includad, which, accord
ing to Mr. Slosson, who was Col. Dunn's
counsel, was derogatory to MIR. Ellsworth.
Last Tuesday Mr.. Ellsworth went to the
speakers bureau of the Republican county
committee and asked to have speakers
assigned to meeting he was organizing
to be held in Chickering Hall. Some un-
pleasantness occurred between Mr. Els
worth and Mr.. Gleason, and In the course
Of it Mr.. Ellsworth accused the county COM
mittee officials of circulating the letter
referred to. The outcome of the row Is
the action against Mr.. Gleason and Mr..
Fox. F. z. Barnard Of 229 Broadway is
counsel for Mr.. Ellsworth.

LONDON, Oot 17.-Nine days fighting
has not brought the battle OF the Shaho
to an end. The latest news is contained
In Gen. Sakharons despatch, which is
dated Oct. II. 8 A. M. There is nothing
from any source justifying even an infer
ence OF what has happened since. All
accounts agree in stating that the fighting
to the westward on Sunday was Of the
fiercest character. The Russians sue
ceeded in holding the Japanese along the
Shaho.
The Standards correspondent with Gen.
Kurokis army, telegraphing under date
of Saturday, says that despite the Russian
resistance it would be hard for them to
escape the net which is closing them in.
Their case was extremely desperate. How
far the rally on Sunday bettered this position
is at present only conjectural.
Other correspondents mention that huge
baggage train was visible north of the Rus
sian lines, and 1t is assumed that the counter
attacks largely aim at preventing it's cap
ture.
