Story of a Miner.
II. p. Vanatta. a Findley miner. who
had narrow escape. says:
The earth seemed to heave under the
platform and the station. The noise
made was deafening. We had been at the
station about two minutes when the
explosion occurred. I was thrown sew
enty-five feet
a score of miners from the Shurtlon
shaft were hurrying down the hill TO the
station. Had these men reached the
platform the casualty list would have
been doubled. There must have been
800 pounds Of explosive used and Il
must have been set of by an electric
spark or q revolver. as the miners would
have smelled fuse II one had been
used"
Revolver Brought to Light.
Similar is the description Of Charles
Rector, a Last Dollar" miner. who had
almost gained the platform.
Within an hour after the explosion de-
tectives employed by the Mine Owners
Association had discovered the cause Of
the accident. The lantern light dis
closed, dangling over the edge Of the pit.
a revolver. to the trigger of which was
attached a wire, and fastened to the
barre! Of which was what appeared to
be a rung Of a chair. The wire led 500
hundred feet away to the cribbing Of the
Delmonico Nine, where its other end
was fastened.
The rest was plain. In the darkness
the dynamite was placed under the plat
form, with the muzzle of the revolver
touching one Of the sticks. The chair
rung planted in the earth kept the
weapon straight when the trigger was
pulled.
Sought "Last Dollar" Men
There was no intention to kill the
train crew or the miners picked up at
other stations. Only the Last Dollar"
men were sought Had there been an
other minutes delay fifty more men
would have been on the platform and
the death list would have been longer.
but, thinking TO save the train, the
man at the other end OF the wire had
not waited that moment
Who this man was or who were with
him IS not known now. else even the
military could not restrain the orderly
element from infiicting summary vengc-
ance. All that Is known is that immedi-
ately after the explosion = man was
seen passing in the darkness.
II is believed the same man OF set Of
men who exploded the bomb in the Vic
tor mine last summer are responsible
for the latest act The weapon and
methods were entirely similar.

vance across the valley of the Koaulin-
dzyk-ho. but were stopped by the accu-
rate fire of our field guns. which the
Cossacks succeeded in placing in posi-
ton.
Japanese Fall Back.
THE Cossacks dismounted, and, with
the aid Of re-enforcements and the fire
from two guns. forced the japanese to
abandon their position and fail back I'M
der cover of their supports. The en-
gagement lasted from 1 to p. m.
.'On the japanese side six companies
took part in the fusillade. four com
panies having arrived as reinforce
ments. The intrencnments on the
enemy's positions were well constructed
and were carefully and perfectly mask
ed. Our cavalry and guns worked ad-
Eirably. Their fire contributed prin-
cipally TO our success.
Gallant Cossack Lost.
''Our losses were the gallant Cossaci6

men wounded. Ii is reported that the
japanese Dragons lost seventy men
Japs Landing Another Army.
A telegram from one of the foreign
military attaches with the Russian
army announces that General Kuropat-
kin and his staff went today by railway
20 a point between Haichens and Tas-
chichau, sixty versts south of Lao
Yang
Another Japanese army is landing on
the east coast OF the Liao-Tung PENN

Russian advance from Tashichao on
General Oku's rear.
Cossacks are keeping in touch with
the japanese outposts. while another
force is watching General KucOkis right
wing to the north of the Yalu River.
Health of Troops Good.
The health OF the troops is everywhere
remarkable. This is believed to be due
TO the Russian diet. which consists prin-
cipally Of bread made of coarse flour
and soup OF meat and vegetables. Ordi-
nary water is seldom If ever drunk
Several Of the attaches have been al

THE PRESIDENT
MUCH CONCERNED

The President is greatly concerned at
the situation in Colorado. He has made
this concern known heretofore. when IT
became known that the situation was
dangerous Now that overt violence
has taken place his interest is intensi-
fed.
The published statement that the
President has received kilograms from
Colorado. among them one signed o. A.
F1oaten and n. J. Sullivan. Of Telluride,
is erroneous.
This telegram was alleged TO read:
Have been ordered TO leave our homes
by June Z. but do not intend to go. We
as citizens of the United States. de-
mand your protection under the con-
stitutional rights. The civil courts
would protect US, but they are power
less. The Governor will not protect US. -
The ,men whose names are attached
in the publication are proprietors Of
the Peoples Supply Store. No such
telegram has been received at he White
House.
AS a matter of fact, the Presi lent
coald not interfere II he would. There
is no question that the United STAGES
mails or any other Federal feature is
involved The Executive Is barred from
interfering in violence in any State. I'M
less called upon by the legislature or
the Governor. by the Constitution itself.
Article ". Section 4. reads as follows:
THE UNITED STATES SHALL
GUARANTEE TO EVERY STATE IN
THIS UNION A REPUBLICAN FORM
OF GOVERNMENT. AND SHALL
PROTECT EACH OF THEM AGAINST
INVASION. AND ON APPEAL OF
THE LEGISLATURE. OR OF THE
EXECUTIVE (WHEN THE LEGISLA-
TURE CANNOT BE CONVENED.

PREMEDITATED
AFFAIR ALLEGED

CRIPPLE CREEK, June THAT the
dynamite tragedy of yesterday. in which
more than a dozen miners met their
death. was gremeditated was proved
less than an hour after it had occurred.
On the edge of the chasm blown into
the earth a revolver was found dangling
at the end of a wire, which was 300
feet long and ran to a mine cribbing.
where IL was attached to a chair rung.
Into at least two hundred pounds of
dynamite bullet had been fred and
the explosion had followed.
Bitter Feeling Existed.
Independence is six miles from Grin
pie Creek and there are the Last Dollar
mines of Shurtlef, Findley & Co.
Their employees are non-uniOn men.
against whom there was much bitter
feeling on the part of the union strik-
ers. 1t has been only IN the last two
months that the men have been able
20 venture outside the mine property
in safety. But the two months quiet
brought about by troops and the citi-
zens' organizations treasured them, and
the majority recently made their homes
in Cripple Creek.
The journey back and forth has been
made over the Florence and Cripple
Creek Railroad. and the little station
Is perhaps 200 yards from the mine
workings- Special trains go through the
valley. picking up the day and night
shifts. and at Independence the ? o. clock
train always found at least sixty men
from the Last Dollar. and a dozen more
from the Deadwood and other mines
The train was the last of the night. and
there was always hustle and confusion
/ -
or so after the quitting whistle blew.
There was the usual rush when the
train came in sight. Twenty-six men
were on the narrow little board plat
fork. and many more were rushing to-
ward IL. The train was not a hundred
yards from the station. and men were
rashing hither and thither TO climb
aboard There were only a few flicker
ing lanterns 10 light the station
Blown Into the Air
/ Just as the train was slowing down to
/ stop there came a sudden fash; the
platform with its human freight. and
/ the little station building seemed 10
shoot into the air. and then there came
a deafening crash.
For FIVE minutes not person in the
vicinity could stir Thrown TO the
ground, stunned and deafened. they
were unable to move. Then. as those
VINO were uninjured. they saw that the
headlight of the engine threw its beams
across only a pile of smoking debris.
from which came the shrieks and
groans of Injured men.
It needed only cursory investigation 70
disclose how thorough had been the
work Where the platform had been
there was a hole twenty feet deep and
twenty feet in circumference. In this
pit were the dismembered bodies OF
men Further search showed more
bodies. one was found 100 yards dis
tant. mangled almost beyond recOgni-
tion. Another was found half as far
I'm another direction.
Victims Under the Timber.
Under the timbers were lying some OF
the victims stin living and badly in
jured. One miner, named Remick. was
found uninjured except for shock. OF
the twenty-six known TO have been on
the platform. not a man escaped unhurt
with the exception Of Remicl.
Special trains were Immediately sent
from Cripple Creek and Victor. carry

MOON A LIFELESS WORLD.
Covered with Vast Mountains, But Is
without Atmosphere or
Vegetation.

Children and grown folks, too, like to
think of the disc the moon presents to
the earth as the smiling face OF an ola
man A little study and little drawing
upon the Imagination easily turns The
lull moon into such face, more or less
closely resembling the pictures OIL the
moon as shown in children's books. it
requires a more careful observation TO
discern the man in the moon, with
his bundle Of sticks on his back, as he is
seen by the children of Germany, who are
taught to regard him with fear and awe.
Before Galileo's invention Of the tele-
scope it was not known what caused the
notified appearance of the moons sur
face We.now know that the surface OF
the moon is diversified with hills and
valleys and mountains and plains just
as the earth is, and that it is the shadows
cast by the elevated portions of the sur
face that cause some parts to appear
darker than others.
The lunar mountains are vastly higher
In proportion than those of the earth
Though the moon is only about one
fftieth the size of the earth. its noun
tains are nearly as high. one at least, be-
ing about four and a half miles high. An
other PECULIARLY of these mountains is
that so many of them have the form Of
volcanic craters, which no doubt they
really are. So far as can be seen all are
extinct. however. Near the center of the
level floor Of these craters. often thou
sands OF feet bslow the top of the rim,
Is curious peak resembling a little
mountain within mountain. Herodotus,
he largest Of these ring mountains, has
a diameter of more than % miles, and
its crater is 1000 feet deep. Besides the
Eian, Plato Herodotus is a mere pigmy,
Tor the former is more than three times
As far across and deep.
