GREAT UPHEAVAL.
Great Columns of Earth Said
TO Have Been Blown
In Air.

HOUSTON, TEX, April lS.-The
Humble oil field was the scene Of a
most unusual phenomenon this morn
ing. An upheaval took place at the Sec
ton surrounding the Swayne-Under'
wood wells of volcanic violence.
A solid column of cart 30 feet in d.
ameter, was thrown 200 feet in the air.
The derrick was torn to atoms and the
drilling machinery, which was on the
edge Of the crater, tumbled in and was
buried from sight.
A sort of mud lava followed the erup-
ton. 1t boiled mp, filling the chasm
and run over in streams from it.
The sand and oily muck and stones
that had been hurled heavenward fell
over an area of many acres. Accom-.
papying the eruption was an immense
volume Of gas. which was ignited from
the furnace. POO feet back from the

sures about the point of disturbance,
and then went entirely out.
The Humble field has been marked by
several subterraneau disturbances, but
none of this character. Oil operators
say they have never seen the like of il
In any field.
Two months ago there was an out
burst, simultaneously, at several wells
in the field, and showers of sand and
rock were hurled to the clouds and
scattered over a radius of mile.
But none Of them was such a crater
formed or such wall of earth heaved
up as the present one. The throwing
out of the solid mass is accounted for
only by oil having soaked the earth
many feet on each side of the we'll and
formed Of it doughty mass.
LAKE A VAST PLUG.
The vast plug was hurled upward as
a cork might be forced from a jug,
sand and stones underneath the mass
also showered upward.
The force was expended in a few
minutes, and then only gas, flames and
smoke rolled upward. The disturbance
came at early morning and at time
when drilling operations were not in
progress Otherwise, there might have
been loss of life.
Warning was, however, amply given
by the earth first swelling upward and
the derrick rocking as though ready to
fall. The explosion followed the con-
vulsion with the suddenness of cannon
discharge. The report was a dull,
heavy one, and heard for a mile.
MACHINERY SWALLOWED UP.
Humble residents were aroused and
persons hastened to the scene. Hun
dreds visited it this afternoon. Attempts
this evening TO fish in the muck that
fills the crater for the machinery that
was swallowed mp, were not productive
of success.
There are little hopes of recovering it.
The outfit was a new one and of the
finest in the field.
The disturbance has spread terror to
other operations and even more serious
outbursts are feared. In fact, there
are some who anticipate the upheavel
of the entire field.
The field proper is now bulged
rotundular above the surrounding
country. 1t resembles vast blister on
the earth. The field now has about
twenty oil wells and produces some
100. 900 barrels daily.

Kentucky Coal Output Fell off
10000 Tons.

Prof. J. c. Norwood, director of the
Kentucky Geological Survey, reports
that the coal output of Kentucky for
1904 shows decrease of 10000 tons,
compared with 1908. The decrease is
accounted for by the fact that in 1908
the Kentucky fields were benefited by
the strikes in the anthracite field of
Pennsylvania.

VICTORIA, b. c., Jan. 22.-Captain
Orlan Cullen, representative of the I'M

ceived a cablegram from Constantine
pie tonight to the effect that 1900 Cir
cassians had revolted and killed the
Russian guard, numbering 200, at Slav-

slams and Turks in large numbers were
crossing the frontier into the Caucasus
to spread revolution in Tiflis province.
Tfiis city is practically in a state of

had only by dispatch bearers.
Captain Cullen states tonight that
he has received further reports from
Constantinople, stating that large num-
bers of refugees, mostly Jews, are
rushing into Turkish territory and the
sultan has placed the barracks of the
imperial guards, at Constantinople, at
the disposal of the refugees. Sir Mich
olas O'Connor, British minister, and
American Minister Leishmann have

JOURNALISTS FAIL
IN STRONG ENpEAvoR TO
AVERT RLoopsHED
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
ST. PETERSBURG, Jan. 22.-Two
hundred journalists and professional
men met in this city Saturday even
ing to discuss means to avoid blood
shed. A committee consisting of the
authors Kharsenieff. Gorky, Annen-
sky and Gessen, several professors
and the workmens advocate, Kedrim
was appointed to interview Minister
of the Interior sviatopolk- -Mirsky.
They arrived at the ministry of the
interior at 10 o'clock last night, but
were received coldly, the officials
there declaring that II was impossible
for them to see the minister that
night.
The committeeman announced their
intention to wait until the minister
would see them. They were persuaded
to see Assistant Minister Rydoffsky,
who resolutely refused to call Prince
Sviatopolk- Mirsky and ironically told
them they would better persuade the
workmen to abandon their plans of a
procession to the palace. Thus re-
buffed the committee proceeded to M.
Whites residence.
M. Witte received them affably and
invited them to tea, which they de-
clined. Having heard them, M. Witte
expressed himself with great SYM
pathy, but maintained that all meas
ures had been decided without con-
sulting him, adding:
IT am nothing in the administra-
tion."
M. Witte then referred them to Min
lister Sviatopolk- -Mirsky, regretting his
inability to do anything, and advising
them to get the demonstration aban-
doned. He said the workmen had
taken a wrong course, which was in
compatible with autocracy. The en-
peror could only receive deputation
by appealing through the proper
channels. He then telephoned to Min
lister Sviatopolk-Mirs and tried to
persuade him to receive the commit
tee. The minister, however, still de-
clined. and the deputation departed
Late tonight, at conference of
editors of st. Petersburg newspapers
