OFFICIALS LOST IN MINES
FIVE GO TO THEIR DEATH AT
 HAZEL KIRK, PA.

Entered Shaft to See if q Portion Was
 Still Burning as Result of an Ex-
 plosiOn Two Weeks AgO--New Six
 Million Dollar Concern in Control
 Bought Mine from the Hanna In-
 terests
 Pittsburg. Oct. 29.-Five minor off cials of the Pittsburg and Westmore- land Coal company gave up their lives at 12:3O o'clock this morning when they entered the Hazel Kirke mine No. of the company at Hazel Kirke, Pa, eigh- teen miles east of this city, to ascertain if portion of the mine was still burn- ing as result of an explosion two weeks ago. The dead are:
 John Hornical, superintendent; Dan- ial Griffith, foreman: Joseph Hunter, John Lavey and Henry Clayborne, fire bosses. Aull are married, with large families, @
 Two weeks ago an explosion in the mine caused the death of two men. The entry in which the explosion occurred was closed up and water turned on Instead of sending the foreign miners employed by the company to investi- gateyand see if the fire in the entry had been extinguished it was decided that if any risk was to be taken those hold ing responsible positions should take the chance instead of the. miners. As the fvzn EIa ne mine which is burning they became aware that the water had not extin- guished the blaze. They decided to tear down the bulkhead erected to confine the fire to one entry of the mine. Just as the covering was removed there was a terrifice explosion and the five men were blown different ways, all being instantly killed. Andrew Roder, who was some distance behind the unfortu- nate men, escaped death, but was badly burned. He reached the bottom of the shaft and gave the alarm. Rescuers found the men all dead. John Hornical, the dead superintendent, was one of the best known coal operators of this section. The mine is on fire and those in charge say the damage will reach thousands of dollars and the mine may be doomed.
 The Pittsburg and Westmoreland Coal company is 8 new $6,000,000 corpo- ration and only recently secured control of Hazel Kirk mine No 1, from the Hanna interests of Cleveland, paying $1, 100000 for the property. The mines capacity is 1,500 tons day and 800 men were employed. If the explosion had occurred six hours earlier it is likely the loss of life would have been. large, as 800 men ceased work Saturday.

GREAT SHINTo RITES.
Impressive Ceremony for Japanese Dead
 --TogO Greatly Moved.

Tokio, Oct. 29.-tNoon)-The great Shinto rites in memory of the naval off, ficers and men who were killed during the war, were held to-day at Aoyama cemetery. Besides the admirals, officers and sailors, hundreds of civil dignita- ries were present. Admiral Togo ad- dressed the departed spirits, eulogizing their noble deeds in battle and their gallant cooperation which resulted in the sacrifice of their lives. He humbly asked repose for the spirits whose ex- emplary deeds in life had contributed to the victory over powerful enemy. While reading his address Admiral Togo was seen to be stirred with strong emotion which was in contrast with his calm demeanor while on the bridge of the Mikasa during, the hottest battles. The ceremony was most impressive and calculated to leave lasting impression on those who witnessed it. Thousands of sailors marched to the accompanying strains of music to the cemetery and afterWard to the naval club.

NORWEGIAN CONSTITUTION
Governlhent Will Insist That It Re
 MOnarchial in Form.

Christiania, Oct. 29.-The storthing sat until late hour Saturday night discussing a constitution. NJ. Honow. the radical leader, on behalf of the re- publicans, declared that the govern ment proposal for plebiscite would diminish the respect held for the storthing's governmental responsibility. Foreign Minister Loevland, in an im- portant speech, said republican con- stitution would be intrinsically as val uable as monarchical constitution. but he pointed out that, Norway being a well established constitutional mon- archy, generations of labor would be necessary to work out republican insti- tutions. A continuation as a monarchy, he added, would be the logical result of the policy of June [ (when the storthing dissolved the union between Sweden and Norway and asked the king to cooperate in the selection of @ prince of the house of Bernadotte to occupy the throne of Norway, and that otherwise Norways international posi- tion would be hazardous.
 Minister of Commerce Arctander said the government would resign if this policy was defeated.
 Among those selected for ministerial posts abroad is H. c. Hague, former secretary of legation for Norway and Sweden at Washington. The foreign office is pushing it's work of organizing 8 consular service.

CATHOLICS IN PHILIPPINES
TATICANS ATTENTION CALLED
 TO SECRETARY TAFT'S VISIT.

His Attitude Toward This Church's
 Interest in the IsIands--Bishops Conn
 plain of Delay in Allowing Them to
 Retake Their Property-Advised to
 Go to Supreme court--Justice to the
 Schools.
 Rome, Oct. 2s.-The Vatican author ities have received reports from the Philippines dealing especially with the recent visit of Secretary War Taft and his attitude towards Catholic in terests in the islands. The reports say that Mgr Ambrose Agius, the papal delegate, called a meeting of the bish- ops to discuss these interests with the. secretary. The latter complained par ticularly that the money which had all. ready been paid for the friars' lands had been taken out of the islands, and, according to. the reports, recalled the fact that Pope Leo and Cardinal Ram polla had promised hum during his yis- it to Rome in 1902 that the money for, the lands would go to the benefit of the church in the Philippines, and not to the religious orders"
 The bishops complained of the delay in allowing them to retake their prop erty, to which the secretary replied:
 The property and the rights of the church must be observed and protected by the government. Those rights when in dispute, unless settled by agreement, must be determined by the courts of justice, and the preservation of them is the duty of the Philippine govern ment, not only by virtue of the treaty of Paris, but by the Constitution of the United States"
 Secretary Taft advised Catholics to go to the supreme court for the pur- pose of regaining the property which they claim from Archbishop Aglipay, head of the independent Filipino church.
 The bishops complained that after asking one member of the Philippine commission to especially devote him. self to the protection of Catholic in terests this had not been done, even by JuQS5 JdlIiGS Y Catholic" They urged the payment by the Washington government of what was due the Catholics by the occupa- tion of church properties by American troops during the war, and finally set forth the need of financial assistance from the state for parochial schools. The report says that Secretary Taft, who showed an intention to totally or partially satisfy the other requests, de- clared it was impossible to comply with the last one, which was against the spirit of the separation of the church and state, a fundamental principle of the United States Constitution.
 The reports express the hope that there will be a change in the situation, and that the question of justice to the schools will foe settled when these schools are attended by a majority of the children. Such an attendance, it is added, will mean economy for the state, which will require fewer ,gov- ernmeTt schools E

 lenges Mcclellan to Public Debate:
 New York, Oct. 2O.--In statement issued tonight District Attorney Je- rome announced that if reelected he would apply to the board of estimate of New York for money to retain Charles E. Hughes as special counsel to prosecute the insurance men if any were found crininally guilty.
 MT. Jerome addressed the, Peoples Public question meeting at the Baptist Church of the Epiphany in Madison avenue to-day. He said referring to his independent nominations: 'The moment 1 did this, did 1t alone, there came from all over this community at once sympathy, support and help. The people all came out not for me but for the principle, and that is why | am here to-day. This city of ours is in a tumult, not over me. but because the people have an opportunity of register tng their will in regard .tq, a principle.
 If reelected district attorney of this county I shall go to the board of es- innate and apportionment and ask a special approriation, which will enable me to retai Charles E. Hughes as spe- cial counsel. I will then turn over the ordinary routine of office to my chief of staff, and will devote all my own time, and that of as many assistants as may be necessary, to assisting Mr. Hughes in prosecuting each, and every person in connection with the insur- ance scandals who may have done any, thing to bring them within reach of the criminal law"
 William M. Wins, the republican can didate for mayor, again wrote Mayor Mcclellan to-day, challenging him to public debate on the issues of the campaign.

 St. Petersburg, Oct. 29-10:40 D. m.- While the day passed quietly without bloodshed in the Russian capital and while the city is outwardly calm, to- days developments all indicate that g. ferisis is imminent. Although the streets Ire filled with troops and reinforce tlents are now pouring in from Fin and, the government seems utterly poWerless to, cope with the situation and many calm observers seem serious ly2to believe that the present regime is tottering to it's fall.
 Differences have developed between Count Witte and General Trepoff and while the precious moments pass the, emperor, surrounded by the imperial family, remains shut up at Peterhot, seemingly still hesitating as to what course to pursue.
 Grave doubts are expressed as to whether even the imperial guard can now be relied upon. Discomfort is rife A meeting of the municipal council was held this evening, at which a depu- tation of thirty members of the strik- CTS committee appeared.

INQUIRY IN THIS STATE.
Wells and auarries Under Investigation
 by the Government.


 Washington, Oct. 29.2Hydrologists of the United States geological survey are Investigating the wells and quarries of Connecticut to learn, if possible, some of the laws that govern the occurrence of water in crystalline rocks, particu- larly the relation between the variety of rock and the depth and amount of the water. Connecticut has large areas where crystalline rocks are exposed and many wells have been drilled there, es- l,ecially along the coast. The waters of these wells will be examined and the jointing of rocks and other features affecting the ground water will be studied.
 The results of this investigation, it is announced, will be of widespread eco homie importance. In the eastern DOT tion of the United States, along what is known as the Piedmont plateau, and also over large areas of New England, northern Michigan, Wisconsin and Min nesota, the rocks from which the sup plies of the deep wells are drawn are largely of granite or some other rock of similar crystalline type, Many of the large cities in which there is a special demand for copious underground waters for public or industrial uses are situat- ed in these areas.

SITUATION ALARMING.
Advises from American Charge De Af-

fairs at St. Petersburg.
 Washington, Oct. 29.-The condition of affairs in Russia formed the basis of a dispatch received at the state depart ment to-day from Spencer Eddy, the American charge at St. Petersburg, who said the situation was very alarm ing. The dispatch was the subject of a long conference between Secretary Root, who returned to the city from New York early in the evening, and MT. Bacon, the first assistant secretary, who has been acting as the head of the state department during MT. Roots ab- serlce. MT. Eddy asked the department for instructions to meet any eventual ities which might arise out of the con- dition of affairs as they now exist in St. Petersburg, and late in the evening of these cover the question of protec- tion to Americans residing in St. Pe- tersburg in case of a general uprising which might endanger their lives. In the event of an outbreak they will be accorded the protection of the Ameri- can legation until further arrangements can be made for their accommodation, if such be found necessary. It is not believed by the state department off, cials that there is any great number of Americans now in St. Petersburg, as most of the tourists have left the coun- try in anticipation of the winter season. Such as may be in the interior, it is thought, art not in any danger.

 London, Oct sO.-The Daily Tele- graphs St. Petersburg correspondent, telegraphing Sunday night, says:
 T am informed that the emperor has just accepted the liberal programme, appointed Count Witte premier and given legislative powers to the repre- sentatiyes from all sections of the pop ulation to be elected to it and abolish ing martial law throughout the empire. I am further informed that the em- peror will issue manifesto to the peo- pie tomorrow gt
 In earlier dispatches the Daily Tele- graphs correspondent describes the au- tocracy as like "a bulb of mercury fall en from height and shivered into lit- tie globulets'' and Russia as having become "an archipelago of political is- lands, each independent of the others, all dealing with public affairs with hardly any reference to the will of the once all-powerful monarch"
 "Anti-monarchical sentiments" the correspondent goes on to say, which would have been terrible crime two months ago are now in everybody's mouth. The Russian people, suddenly edueated by events and sobered by a sense of responsibility, is able, willing and determined heneeferth to manage its affairs in it's own way and without interference from above. .E My belief is that if the authorities abstain from violence the strike will terminate next week because the social ists are waiting till the end of the year for an armed insurrection when they will be fully prepared
