THE PRESIDENTS SUNDAY.
The Hunting Party Attended Serv- ices at the old BIue SchoOlhOuse
 A Western Welcome. |

Glenwood Springs, Col, May 1- Unique in the history of Colorado was the church service held at the Old Blue school house on West Divide creek. Sunday, attended by President Roosevelt and his hunting party and all the ranehmen and their families for miles around. The little district school building was not a tenth part large enough to accommodate the con- gregation, and as result the organ was moved to the platform in front On this platform seats were provided for the president and his party. Rev. Horace Mann. of Rifle. Col, who preached the sermon; the choir and the trustees of the church. The members of the congregation stood or sat on the ground or in their conveyances, which were grouped around the building.
 The sermon by Rev Mann was of an unusual kind. It began with story teeming with slang of the west ern flavor, and was full of advice suited to a congregation inuring itself to the hardships of mountain life. It touched upon the responsibilities of the position uf president as we'll as the charteristics of some of the men who have oceu- pied that exalted place. After her had concluded, the president spoke for about ten minutes. He was received with great enthusiasm.

THIRTEEN MINERS KILLED. Entombed by Ga, ErpIosion fn Missouri, Kansas Ie Texas Coal
 Co.'S Mine No. ID.

Wilburton. L T., May Thirteen miners were entombed and probably killed by an explosion at 1: 90 Sunday morning in the Missouri, Kansas & Tex as Coal Co. mine No 19. four miles west of here. There is little prospect of their bodies being recovered for several days. They are:
 B. F. Steiner. foreman: Mike Wynne. Ralph Fisher, Ben Smith, Wm. Atkin- son, o. Golden, Joe Merino, all white.
 Gus Phillips. Knox Lynch, J. D. Byrd, Mike Duyall, R. F. Gales, Wm, Edwards. colored.
 The men went into the shaft at mid- night. Foreman William Ray of the shift that left the mine at that hour, states that the mine was in good con dition and gas explosion was hardly probable. His shift left a shot hang ing, which the new shift may have fired. It is suggested, from the force of the explosion. which could be heard for miles around, and which tore heavy timbers aside and piled tons of dirt into the shaft, that a bad shot had set off some dynamite which had been stored conveniently for work in push ing the entries. The shaft is 360 feet deep, and it was 300 feet to the plane where the men were working.

r,IE wAn IN THE FAR EAST.

A Tsing Tau tChinal dispatch, on the morning of the Isl inst. said il vas reported that the Russian second Pa cifc squadron together with the third Pacific squadron, were near the island of Hainan.
 Gen. Lineyiteh reports that on the night Of April 29 two Russian forces simultaneously attacked the Japanese near the town of Tunghusiang, driving them from five consecutive petitions.
 Gen. Lineyiteh, in the course of an interview with a press correspondent, expressed himself as well satisfied with the present condition of the Russian army and it's readiness 10 assume the offensive.
 News of the resumption of fighting in Manchuria leads 10 the conclusion that the Japanese have decided not to await the issue of the impending naval contest. but 10 utilize the few weeks intervening before the summer rains set in.
 St. Petersburg dispatches say that Gen. Linevitch has taken the aggres- sive and has wrested two Manchurlan villages, strongly fortified, from the Japanese.
 The predictions of naval strateglsts with regard to thedoings of the Russian and Japanese fleets thus far are mere speculation, as they are largely based upon misleading reports.
 Russian admiralty circles do not think there will be any great battle between the two hostile fleets for some time. They are of the opinion, how ever. that they will have to meet h2r= rassing tactics on the part of Admiral Togo by torpedo attacks and interfer- ence with transport service.
 The Russians are now saving that their losses in men and material in the battle Of Mukden and in the retreat that followed were not nearly so large as reported from Japanese sources.
 It is asserted in London shipping circles that Admiral Rojestvensky has not enough coal to carry his fleet to NladiVOStok
