PLANS OF MIR. BALFOUR
NOTHING POSITIVE KNOWN OF
 CABINET CRISIS.
King Edward May Prevail Upon the Prenent Premier to Continue in
 once Until Election
 Is Held.

London, Dec 2-Complete silence was maintained throughout the day in off, cial circles concerning the cabinet crisis. King Edward will arrive in London Monday. It Is considered pos sible that the Premier may tender his resignation later on Monday, but it is believed that no announcement of 1t will be made until after the privy council meeting Tuesday.
 The fact that Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman will return to London from Scotland Monday and the positive as- sertions made by persons well informed on political events. lead to the belief that Sir Henry has decided to accept the responsibility of forming a cabinet if the task should be offered him No one can be found among we'll in- formed persons who will say positively whether the premier has decided to re- sign or effect the dissolution of Parlia- ment. but in any event it is believed that much depends upon the decision of King Edward himself who, it Is said, is quite likely to request Mir Balfour to retain the reins of government until a verdict of the people is given in favor of the Liberals or the Conservatives re- maining in power.
 The Associated Press was informed today that King Edward favors this course, but that he would yield in the event Mir, Balfour decides that he can not with credit to himself remain in office during election.

London. Dec. 2.--Up to midnight London. Berlin, Copenhagen, Paris and Stockholm were completely cut om from teIesraphic communication with St. Petersburg.
 Early this afternoon the Great Nor thern Telegraph Company, which nas two routes into St. Petersburg. one by way of Copenhagen and Libau and the other by way of Finland announce ed that communication was completely severed, Copenhagen and Nystad, the last named on the western Finnish coast, being the most easterly points from which and to which 1t could ac" cept messages.
 The Great Northern Company fur ther stated that the quickest means for reaching the East Finnish coast points was by cable to Nystad and other points
 The Associated Press is endeavoring to get into communication with the capital from Helsingfors. the nearest point to St. Petersburg. but finds that route impossible by wire and there is some doubt whether the water is suf- ficiently free from ice to permit Of boats crossing to Helsingfors from Russian ports.
 The Associated Press and the Reuter- Telegram Company as well as the English newspapers have sent urgent despatches to their correspondents all over Russia and especially at frontier points to secure news from St Peters burg and the interior, but none of the cable companies in London had reeeiv- ed a word up to midnight. Furthermore the companies are unable to say what prospects there are for renewal ot communication. T
 Warsaw is the only point from which any Russian news has been re- ceived since early this morning and this with the exception of private message over the railroad line briefly speaking of confiagration at Moscow was practically confined to events at Warsaw and Lodz.

Manchester. Dec. 2.--Business in the cloth market during the past week was small, shippers for eastern mar kets only buying sparsngly. Several orders were placed for the poorer qualities of shirtfngs and ducks for India The inquiry tor China was re- ported to be good, but the transactions were meagre. The nearer eastern markets did fairly miscellaneous trade. Business for South America was less active. Yarns did not im- prove. Small sales were reported of American crops at recent rates. Pro- ducers seemed to be in no hurry to realize and consequently stocks are gradually accommodating.

EIGHTIES
 MNERS DIE EXplOyA in Wyoming k;Coal Shaft. l.loo FEET UNDER GROUND Rescuers Are Overcome by
 After Damp. aBlewn Out. shot Cause. Dlsa.ter. ana Force of ExpIssion is Felt All
 over the Town of
 DiamondviIie.

Diamondville, Wyo., Dec. 2.-Eigh- teen miners lost their lives in an ex- plosfon late last night in the Diamond Coal and Coke Company's mine No. |. It Is believed that all the men who perished were instantly killed. The theory advanced by tho miners is That a blown out'' shot caused the expl6- sion which wrecked the mine. Tho shock of the explosion was felt all over the town. rocking buildings so violent. iy that their occupants ran into the open.
 It was late this afternoon before the first rescue parties entered the mine
 The explosion occurred 1.1e0 feet un- der ground and at least 5000 feet from the mouth of the shaft. The explosion wrecked the brattice and blocked the entrance to the lower levels of the mine. necessitating the removal Of much debris before the miners could be reached
 Resuern are Overcome.
 When the rescuers finally went into the mine. none could remain long. The crowds around the pprtol watched as car after car came up from below, but they brought up only rescuers who had been overcome by the after-damp. It was nearly nocn before the first body was brought up.
 Every man in the mine pertshed. The night force is small. their work being limited to knocking down coal to be taken out by the day shift. Had the explosion occurred in the day. time the loss of life would have been far greater.
 Many English miners who came direct from England are employed at Diamonayille, and it Is believed ina- jority of the dead are Engiishmen.

 Washingtop. Dec. z--t Special 1-A II members of the Alabama delesation wers present at the Eemocfafic caucus except Mr. Burnett If Gndsdam. wh1 has not yet arrived and has sent no word to his colleagues as to when he may be expected.
 The Alabama members agree in de- ciaring that the caucus today was a successful affair, although the Demo- crats are so largely outnumbered by Republicans in this Congress.
 The speech of MT. Williams of Mis- sissippi. accepting the nomination of his party for speaker. is regarded as one of the best ever made by him.
 The fact that the Republican lead CTS have agreed not to cut down the minority representation on the nine im- portant house committees. makes it certain that as a rule the Southern members who have served terms will remain on the committees they prefer. and some will receive promotions These arrangements are brought about by increasing by one tho Republicans in the big committees and allowing the Democrats six, the same number they had in the last House.
 There Is still talk to the effect that Mir Underwood of Alabama may be transferred from Appropriations to Ways and Means. He says it is i'm material to him. If Leader Williams cannot arrange 1t. Mrl Underwood will be satisfied to remain on Appropria- tions.
 Southern Democrats are generally pleased to know that Speaker Cannon has decided to appoint Representative Tawney of Minnesota chairman of An propriations. They look upon MT. Tav- ney as one of the fairest and most capable men among their political op- ponents fin Congress

New York. Dec. 2.--That the popnla-

 Mir Takahira paid a warm tribute to
 President Roosevelt for his part in
 bringing about peace between Japan and Russia and thereby ending the
 hloodiest war ip the history of man

 He believed. he said. that he was schoIng the true sentiment of the
 whole world when he said that htimafi- |ity and eiviiization owed the president a great deht,"

 to insure the healthy growth of your
 population and the solid increase of
 your wealth. need not say that your
 neighbors across the Pacific would. be

 agricultural and industrial enterprise
 es. provided their purchasing power Is fostered and encouraged. but not hampered; and it Is hoped that in this way the chance of that unexpected. oc- curence in your country may be lessen ed if not averted in proportion to the growth of trade in the far east coun' tries.
 Tt is therefore earnestly to be hop cd that my such measure as might in- terfere with the right of intercourse and trade between the Americans and any far eastern people should be con fined within the proper limit and that every effort be used to promote as much as possible the mutual interest | and reciprocal advantage of commerce

 Conceerning the predominant dues- tion of railway rate iegislation he de-i clared that such legislation was in accord with the general Democratic principle of special privileges to none and equal opportunities to all. He con- gratulated tho country on the fact that tho President and his followers had accepted this Democratic idea And de- clared that without the aid of the Pres fdent the Democratic Party could do nothing at this time in the wax of rate legislation while on the other Hand the President and his followers could do nothing without the aid of the Demo-
 PrevnIence of (sraft. s Nil. williams then spoke with great emphasis about the prevalence of graft in the Government sercvice, which he said had lifted It's head in the diplo- lie land service. in the Postohlce and Agricultural Department. and else where.
 In business circles graft had become worse than in politics.
 Graft was the result of corrupt ideas, which must necessarily have hreed- ing place somewhere. and Mir Williams ubCAHIb&k ttlHt tuG RE itatAR1S VA R4 VSp*~T' tion" was this breeding place.
 Tt is not far cry," declared Mir. Williams. from the position of the man who thinks that the laws should he fixed so as to put money into his pockets. to the man who wants city franchises fixed so as to put money in his pocket and It Is not far reach from these to the insurance director who. acting as trustee. controls trust funds so as to make money out of them for himself. !,

 He added that the only right way to settle 1t was by divorcing business from the Government as these men seeking legislation were often source of pos litical corruption.
 Mir. williams then rldtcuIed the idea that there was any such thing as con servative Democrats" and radical Democrats.
 Democrats arc conservatice," he said, whenever they come to conservative things, American, equitable. equal and just and they are radical whenever they come to tearing up by the roots abuses and the exploitation of the mass es by the chartered interests.
 Democrats may be both conservative and radical. or they may he neither. It all depends upon tho particular ques- ton to be submitted to them for their judgment, but they are never consist entity either radical or conservative ali of the time. 7
 MT. Williams pointed out to the mem bcrs of the caucus the folly or giving aid to the enemies of Democracy by dividing the Democratic forces into two parties by mere distinction of words and in conclusion .enjolned upon the mem3eers of the minority the import ance of effective constructive party ac- tion instead of mere censorship and criticism though both of thesp were at times of the highest i1nportance.
