Explosion At Ziegler Wrecks shaft. Burytng
at Least 3O-Seyerai Known Dead.
BENTON, H., April s.-The shaft in ice
Letters mine at Ziegler twelve miles south
west Of Benton. was blown up this morn
ing by the gas which had accumulated
on Sunday.
The miners do not work on Sunday and
this morning at $50 o'clock they started
10 work. Between twenty-five and forty
five had gone down when the explosion
occurred with suSh terrific force that one
OF the large steel cages was blown to the
top Of the shaft, a distance OF 500 feet.
The shock was felt at Bentonan a teamster
en- route to MulkeytoWn. half a mile from
Ziegler, was covered with SCOT, cinders
and 665ris
It is not positively known how many
we're killed. One man, unidentified, was
killed at the top Of the shaft and four others
seriously injured. It is not known how
many men are entombed In the mine, but
there are not less than thirty and tho NUM-
Der may reach fifty.
The work Of rescuing Is very slow and
dlfficult. The main shaft is demolished
and all the work Of Tescuing Is done through
the airshaft, and at this time IL Is impos-
sible to get within forty feet Of the bottom
Of the airshaft.
committee Of union miners from
Duquoin and other nearby towns. headed
by District President T. Morris, has
tened to Zlesler this morning aud tendered
their services In the rescue work. But
four men have been brought up from the
mine. Two were dead and two living.
One has since died. The dead are so black
ened and burned It has been impossible to
identity them.
Many believed this morning that the
explosion was caused by the striking miners,
who had dynamited the shaft, but an in
vestigation shows that Il was probably due
TO gas explosion, similar to the one at
Eldorado two months ago.

KAIsERs NOTICE TO FRANCE.
His Speech AZ Tangier Flat Denial OF Any
Nations special interests There.

Special Cabt Dsspdiehe' 70 THn sun
LONDON. April 1.-THE Tangier corre-
spondent Of the Times says that the follow
ing IL the correct version Of the Kaiser's
conversation with the representatives
Of the Sultan;
After welcomes and compliments the
Kaiser said that he had come expressly
TO Tangier to assert that he would maintain
the absolute equality OF German economic
and commercial rights and would not allow
any Power TO obtain preferential advan-
tages.
The Sultan was a free sovereign Of a
free country Germany would insist al
ways on carrying on her affairs direct with
him and would never allow any other Power
to act as Intermediary. The present was
not a suitable time 10 introduce any re-
forms on European lines. All reforms
should be founded on the Islamio law and
traditions. What Morocco required was
only peace and quiet.
He would hnd means later for making
his opinion known to the Sultan on ques-
lions Of detail, Finally the Kaiser declared
that he had made these views quite clear In
a conversation he had Just held With the
French Charge d'Ahaires,
Semi-oticial reports from Berlin and Paris
bear out the foregoing. The Times Gays
editonnlly: "Since the famous Kruger tele-
gram no action Of Emperor William has
been Of such a sensational character, His
language Is a fat denial Of the special In
tereets Of France.

tute about the maximum Of disagreeable-
