MINE EXPLOSION.
Five May He Dead and Three Other"
 Fatally Injured.

Charleston, w. Va. April ZO'-A mine explosion in the Cabin Creek mining company's mines near Kay ford, about thirty miles above here late this afternoon, may result in the death of five miners and the fatal in- jury of three others. The disaster is believed to have been caused by powder explosion the result of a min CTS carelessness,
 Shortly after o'clock after many of the men had left the mine, there was a sharp report followed by an explo- sion which threw the debris in all directions. The tippies took fire and were soon a mass of flames. Nine men were still within the mine when the explosion occurred. Of these four by sheer pluck and courage managed to reach safety. Three of the number were so badly injured that they are not expected to live. The remaining i've men were still entombed at a late hour. It is believed thss these men are dead.
 Those who were buried in the mine were: Burt Green, Charles Nicholas, Ira Nichols, Arthur Crump, William Allen. The rescued: William Jacobs, George Eastman, night boss; Mercy Darby, assistant night boss; William Robinson, laborer. The last three were badly injured and may not live.

PROTEST FROM JAPAN
SHIPS IN KAMRANH BAY. Motono, Mikndo's Minister, Makes
Motono, Mikado's Minister, Makes Representation to Delcasse Re- garding Their Presence There. Neutrality Probably
 Violated.

Paris, April 20.-Acting upon in- structions from his government Dr. Motono. the Japanese Minister to France. called on Foreign Minister Delcasse this evening and submitted representations on behalf of Japan concernings the presence of the Rus sian Pacific squadron in Kamranh Bay An official communication issued after the meetings states that Minister Mo- tono's action had not the character of a formal protest against an alleged violation of neutrality but was to ob- tain assurances that France would ob- serve strict neutrality.
 Notwithstanding the official version, it is evident that the intention and ef- feet of Minister Motono's action is in the nature of a protest. Foreign Min ister Delcasse responded to the repre- sentations of the Japanese minister by pointing out the precautions hereto fore taken to preserve neutrality and the special instructions recently sent to the governor general of Indo-China |concernings continued care to preserve neutrality. M. Delcasse's assurances sought to allay the apprehensions of Japan, which he maintained had not been justified by any specific facts. The exact terms of Japan's represen- tations have not been disclosed but it is understood that while having the
 usual courteous form of diplomacy they set forth that serious apprehen- sions had been aroused by the stay of the Russian warships in Kamranh Bay and the urgent desire that French neutrality be placed beyond doubt
 The terms of the French response. although not given out, tend to give ample assurance upon all the Ques- tions raised. The text of the official communication upon the subject is as follows:
 "Dr. Motono. Minister of Japan, has taken steps to call the attention of the Minister of Foreign Ministers to the reported presence of the Russian vas- sels in Kamranh Gay. At the Min istry of Foreign Affairs it is said that Minister Motono's action does not take the character of a formal protest against alleged violation of neutrality
 by France relative to the Russian fleet. The Japanese minister particularly de- sired to obtain from the French Gov ernment, as he had done when the Baltic squadron passed Cherbourg. and more recently when it sojourned off Madagascar, some formal assurances that France would continue to observe strict neutrality. These assurances evidently seemed more and more in- dispensable to Japan as the Russian fleet approached the coast of Indo- China and entered the theatre of war. The French Government has on fre- quent ocasions pointedly affirmed that all precautions have been taken for the observances of neutrality. Special in- structions have even been forwarded to Indo- China on the subject. The Min ister of Foreign Affairs is therefore able to allay the uneasiness Japan has manifested which has not been justified up to the present by any specific fact" Besides these general assurances. the conference doubtless permitted of the explanation of the French point of

tt. Feltner stated in a deposition several months ago that he was preE- ent at c conference with the Hargises and Callahan at which the method CT killing both Marcum and Cockril was discussed. The court now rules that nothing affecting Marcum can be tes- tified to in this case.
 The most sensational disclosure Felt ner made today was that two hours after Cockrill was killed, when 1t be- gan to appear that the Hargises would be indicted, James Hargis. through Feltner's brother. Felix, proposed to go on Moses bond for s5,oo0 in the case. charging Feltner with killing Jesse Fields and in addition to give him (Feltner) $1,500 for a guarantee that the Hargises would have Fcltner acquitted of the murder of Fields.
 The check for $500 was to be used to help him fight the case. He says he took the check but did not have it cashed. Feltner filed this check as an exhibit in the Marcum damage suit last winter at Winchester. He swore he never intended to do as Hargis pro- posed, and that he did what ne did in order to save himself from assassina- ton for the time being and later for the purpose of helping to prosecute the Hargfses

BEEF TRUST CASE.
Federal Grand Jury Proceeding With
 Its Work.

Chicago. April 20.-The grand jury took up the investigation of the Aetna Trading Company. A large number of witnesses were on hand. One of those who testified today is said to have been F. A. Fowler, manager of the beef department for Swift and Com pany. District Attorney Morrison stated today that 1t is probable that the investigation will be concluded by May 1. He said that although the part played in the beef business by the railroads may be taken up it would not be under the interstate commerce laws because this feature of the case Is handled by the interstate commerce commission which Is to meet in Chi cago May 10. He also said that no part of the Garfield report on the beef industry was to be used in the grand jury Investigation.

view concerning the stay of Russian warships in Kamranh Bay. It IS maintained that this was at most brief sojourn and not a prolonged stay official information leading to the be- lief that the squadron left that vicinity
 last Sunday. No Japanese ships were in the vicinity during the stay Of the
 Russian squadron and therefore. 1t IS
 held, 1t had not the character of giv-
 ing asylum to a belligerent against the
 attack of an enemy.
 Concerning the course of the Rus
 sian warships in taking on stores It IS
 maintained that these were not con
 traband of war, but were necessary provisions, such as merchantmen may
 supply at their own peril. It IS point.
 ed out in this connection that the chier
 article of contraband-namelyc coal-had
 been furnished to the Russian squadron
 by German ships which took on their
 cargoes from the British port of Car
 diff, presumably for other destipa- tions.
 It remains for Tokio, to which the French reply was sent tonight, 10 say
 whether the assurances are considered
 sufficient. The opinion prevails here that M Delcasse's answer Is of na- ture to start serious complications. However, the attitude of Socialist Dep- uties promises to bring up the entire question before the Chamber. M. Pres sense, one of Jaure's chief lieutenants has given notice of his intention to question the Government tomorrow on the presence of the Russian squadron in Indo- Chinese waters. He holds that neutrality has not been observed with sufficient vigor and will ask the Gov ernment to acquaint the Chamber with the precise instructions given the Indo-Chinese authorities and also whether Admiral Rojestvensky's squad ron has or has not left Kahnranh Bay. The Socialist movement follows the general sentiment in Socialist quarters against the Franco Russian alliance. The appearance of the question as a political issue in Parliament leads to the feeling In some quarters that Roj- estvensky's presence in Indo-Chinese waters constitutes considerable men, ace to France and may operate to | weaken the bonds between Russia and France,

Prosressive's Program.

St. Petersburg. April 2O.-The Pro- gressive National Party, headed by M. Shipoff and Prince Troubetskoy, which seeded from the Radical Liberals, who announced themselves in favor of democratic constitution, has published a program which contemplates the cre- ation of a permanent advisory insti- tuition, not elected by direct suffrage but by the Zemstvos and Liberals throughout the Empire. The proposed organization is to be vested with pow CT to propose new laws. the modifica- tion of old laws discuss the budget and interrogate ministers. The minis ters. however are to be responsible not to the representative institution but to the Emperor. The President of the in- stitution, who would be empowered to transmit its recommendations to His Majesty, is to be chosen by the Em- peror from nominations submitted by the institution.
 The program carries with 1t a prop osition for the reorganization and ex- tension of the Zemstvo system to all nom Russian as well as the Russian provinces.
 Owing to the great influence and prominence of the leaders of this par ty who formerly were hand in glove with the Liberals, the middle position they have taken against the creation of a legislative body clothed with full powers in a general, that neither Rus sia or the people are ready for Parlia- ment based on universal suffrage, Is likely to attract the support of all mod crates.

 Ro1estvensky reached the Straits of Malacca before the colliers arrived at the Straits of Sunda and the Japanese then withdrew from the latter straits having missed both tine quarry and the decoy. The admiralty is silent as to whether Rojestvensky has left Kam- ranh Bay.
