EIGHTY THREE BODIES
RECOVERED so FAR
Work Of Getting Dead Men Out
Of Mine Continues.
GOV. ORDERS AN INVESTIGATION

On Account of the Bodies Decompos-
ing So Rapidly the WORK of Rescue
Is Very Dsagreeable and Hard.
$4,000 Raised for Families of Dead
Birmingham, Ala, Feb. 23.-At 10
O'Clock this morning 83 bodies of vic
TINS of Mondays explosion have been
taken from the mines and seven more
are in sight and will be gotten out by
the afternoon, making a total of 80
victims.
After these seven bodies are re-
moved, active work will cease and the
work of pumping the hooded portion
of the mine will be begun, as it has
been found impossible to rescue the
bodies Of the men in that part of the
mine until the water is gotten out.
1t is figured that it will be the mid
die of next week before this can be
completed, so that the remaining bod.
les will have to remain underground
until then.
President Flynn, Of the United Mine
Workers, has wired for more men to
assist in this work. Horrible odors
pervade the entire mine, arising from
the decomposing bodies, and disinfec-
tants have to be used literally to en-
able the rescuers to work.
The funerals Of scores or victims
took place. today at Virginia and near.
by mining camps, where the dead men
resided.
Acting Governor Cunningham has
ordered a rigid investigation into the
cause Of the disaster.
A relief fund of more than $4,000
has been raised here for the families
Of the victims.

Washington, Feb. 23.-The house

drafted a substitute for the Stephens
resolution on inquiry directed to the
secrtary of the interior regarding the
Foster lease of Usage Indian oil lands
and authorized the reporting of the
substitute. The language of the sub
stitute is that the secretary of the in
terror is hereby requested to furnish
the house with all convenient speed
copy Of the lease made between the
chief of the Usage nation of Indians
and Edwin B. Foster, on the 10th
day of March, 1896, and a copy of the

proved and a list of all leases which

ment and which have not been ap-
proved; and also all documents and

The drift of the inquiry was made
on suggestion in the committee that
the Stephens resolution contained in

would make it subject to a point of
