DECISION HAS
BEEN REACHED
Canal Across the ISthmuS of
Panama Will Be Built
by Contract.

Washington, Oct "A tentative de-
clsiOn has been reached by Chairman
Shonts of the isthmian canal commits
sion that the Panama canal be built by
contract. An announcement of the final
determination of the canal officials re-
specting the method of construction is eX-
poCted in few days.
Chairman Shonts had a long conference
last night with President Roosevelt. at
which this and other matters relating to
the canal were considered fully. The
president is anxious that a conclusion be
reached on all questions of canal con-
struction a soon as possible. so that the
actual work of construction may be
pressed vigorously.
Chairman Shonts and Chief Engineer
Stevens have been working for many
weeks on the subject of constructing the
great water way by contracts They have
prepared specifications for the work,
which now are being considered before the
issuance of invitations for proposals.
Ira this connection it is understood that
the president has not abandoned his con-
templated trip TO Panama, and will not
unless the Cuban question or some other
question should become so acute as to
require his presence in Washington.
Chairman ShontS expects to be in Pan
anna at the time of the presidents visit,
but il is likely that instead of accom-
paying the president he will go to Pan
anna in advance to supervise Arrangements
for his receptions:

WEST VIRGINIA
COAL Mine AFIRE'
Seventy Men Imprisoned in the
Blazing Depths-Fire Fol-
lowed Explosion.

Bluefelds. w. Va. Oct. S.-As the re-
suit of an explosion this afternoon at
the West Fork mines of the Pocahon-
tas Galleries company, where the ex-
pIosion OF 1902 occurred in which Su-
perintendent O'Mally and sixteen
others lost their lives. seventy five
men are supposed to be entombed. Two
rescue parties have entered the mines,
and up to II o'clock tonight two men
named Dolbert and Godash have been
rescued and revived. The mine is re-
ported to be on fire, and the work of
rescue is retarded. The cause of the
explosion is not known. Great excite
ment prevails in the neighborhood OF
the mines. Crowds of men, women and
children remain about the drift mouth
anXiously awaiting news of relatives
and friends among the missing.
The explosion took place in what is
known as the St Paul entry of the
mine. Reports of the number of en-
tombed men vary from sixty to 100
men. The lack of brattice cloth helps
to retard the rescue work, and a car
load of it 10 being hurried forward on
e special train from Bluefields. The
definite results of the explosion will
not be known for perhaps twelve
hours.
The force of the explosion was hard
~ noticeable at the mines mouth. as
the entry in which it occurred is two
and a half miles In the mountains. A
number of men in the south mine were
almost suffocated before they were
rescued.
