FIFTY MINERS ENTOhBED
Explosion Wrecks Shaft in Letters
CoIIierv at ZeigIer, Ill
MANY KILLED AND INJURED

Top of Shafting Was Blown Out and
Cage Was Destroyed Work OF
Rescue Commenced at once-Rumor
That Explosion Was Due to Some
Recent Strike Difficulties.
Benton, Ill.-Nearly half a hundred
miners were entombed in Joseph Lett
er's mine at Zeigler by an explosion OF
gas.
1t trarspires that there were two eX-
plosions close together. The first eA-
plosion took place in the airshaft, and
was followed by a much greater up
heaval in the main shaft.
There are %employedain the mine only
$50 men, 12O being at work in the day
time. Four cages, each containing
about ten men, Of the day force. had
gone down into the mine just before
the catastrophe occurred.
The explosion wrecked the shaft
blowing out the skids on which the
were hoisted. Besides the fifteen
bodies recovered three men were re-
moved alive.
One miner was killed and four were
severely injured at the mouth OF the
shaft. The explosion, it is said, was
due to the fact that the Letter mines
had not been worked the previous day,
thus allowing gas to accumulate IN the
lower workings.
The first explosion blew the mouth or
the mine high into the air. One OF the
steel cages was hurled to the surface
from the bottom of a 500-foot shaft.
The shock of the explosion was felt at
Benton, twelve miles northeast OF
Zeigler. A teamster driving along a
road half a mile from the mine was
covered with falling cinders. n de-
bris covered the bottom of his wagon
half an inch deep. -,
The work of rescue was begun at
once by miners, who were arriving
when the explosion took place. But
the main shaft was demolished so tnat
rescue work has to be carried on
through the alrshaft.
A committee Of union miners from
Duuuoin and other neighboring mining
towns, headed by District President
Morris. fastened to Zeigler soon after
the explosion occurred and offered their
aid. p,
In the effort to recover the entombed
men five rescuers were overcome Dy
afterdamp. All the searchers for the
men below were let down by mana
and in two instances the men o
were nearly overcome by gas.
G. E. Childers, a striking Zeigler mi
ner, last October predicted in a printed
article that an explosion was likely TO
occur on account Of what he termed
improper ventilation of the shafts.
There was much excitement among
miners when the accident became
known. because there had been a strike
of long duration, and many conflicts
occurred between strikers and non
union miners.
An investigation, however, tended to
show that the catastrophe was u to
the accidental explosion of accumu-
lated gas.

Helplnp the Speed Of Ships.

1t is said that Professor Carlo del
Lungo, of Spezzia, Italy, who is an in
structor at the Royal College, has pat
ented a scheme for promoting the speed
of ships by lubricating their sides. His
belief is that by pumping air into the
water around a vessel he can reduce
the density Of the fluid, and thus lessen
the friction. Some tests have already
been made with the system at Leg
horn, and Professor del Lungo says
that they were entirely satisfactory.
Other experiments on a more extensive
scale are to take place in England dur
ing the present month.
While the invention can be applied
to all ships. the author Of it says that
it can be carried to a still higher de-
gree Of efficiency by notifications IN
the form of the vessels.-TrIbune

To Insist on Indemnity.

London, England.-Peace talk has
been prevalent everywhere. but that
negotiations had commenced was posi-
lively denied in all official circles here.
The Foreign Office disclaimed even
having any knowledge Of peace propos-
ais.
Viscount Hayashi, Japanese Minister
to Great Britain, declared that he had
no information in regard to the an
nouncement contained in st. Peters
burg dispatches that Russia had indi-
rectly made known to Japan the mega
tive conditions on which peace might
be concluded, namely. no cession Of
territory and no indemnity. but he said
unreservedly that the terms then men
toned could not even be considered.
