confusion in the vicinity prevented
early estimates Of the exact loss of
life, but dispatch received here at
4:3O p. NJ, gave 1,4O4 miners entomb-
ed and probably lost. AT S:45 O'Clock
in the evening brief dispatch from
Lille announced the total of l,l93

SHOCK TO ALL FRANCE.
All France has been profoundly
shocked by the magnitude of the dis
aster, which is said to be the greatest
in the history Of continental mining.
President Fallieres sent lis secre-
tary, accompanied by Minister of Pub
lie Works Gautier and Minister of the
Interior Dublier, on special train to
the scene of the disaster.
The ministerial crisis was ltcmporo-
rarily forgotten, Senators and Depu-
ties joining in the universal manifes-
tations Of sorrow.
SCENE OF THE CATASTRoPE
The scene of the castrophe is the
mountainous mining region near Lens,
in. the department. 4 Of Pas-de:C Calias..
Here are huddled small hamlets of the
mine workers, who operate the most
productive coal mines in France. The
subterranean chambers from series
of tunnels. Six Of the outlets arc near
Lens, and others are at Courrieres,
Eardun, and many other points. The
output of these mines is particularly
combustible and is largely used in the
manufacture of gas and in smelling.
About 1000 miners work in the group
Of mines and, with their families,
make population of from 5000 to
5000 souls.
The catastrophe took place shortly
after 1,79S men had descended into
the mine. There was dcafening ex-
plosion, which was followed by the
cages and mining apparatue being
hurled from the mouth Of the Courri-
eres Mine. Men and hourses near by
outside the mine were either stunned
OF killed. The roof Of the mine Office
was torn off.
immediately following the explo-
sion flames burst from the mouth of
the pit, driving back those without
who sought to enter and looming
these within.

question of resolutions came up. Some
of the delegates struggled back into
their seats one by one and Dan Law
Ter, with his sonorous voice, introduced
J. M. Freeman of Olivia, who had been
appointed to read the precious docu-
ment. It endorsed all the isms of all
wings of the party. First it put the
seal of it's approval on the administra-
ton of Mr.. johnson and Mr.. Johnson's

platform was silent as to him. 1t pro-

FIREFIGHTER A SUCCESS.
Vessels First Trial at Blaze on the
River Front,

The Districts fireboat "Fireflghter'' filled
her initial engagement as a hre-hghtinr
craft yesterday evening at the fire on the
llth street fish wharf, and the work she
oid SHOWS that she deserves all that has
been said In her praise. When the fire START
ed Engine Company No. 13, which is locat-
ed only about a square away responded 70
local alarm. and the fireboat did nor got
the call until several minutes after the fire
started. The boat had been coaIing ,p ana
was lying with her bow inshore when the
alarm came in. She had to back out into
the stream. turn about and steam for tho
fire. but was quickly at the wharf.
The oyster pier was crowded with yesseis
and the Firefghter had to take pos,tIon
outside of them, in the east dock at the
nth street wharf, about two hundred wards
rom the burning buildings. with her bow
pointing inshore When her purn frsf
started working, and the stream from tine
big monitor nozzle in the bow of the boat
was very feeble. there were cries of FAKE
ner nome; she's no good and the IKE.
IL required but a minute or two for the
pumps to Increase the pressure and as inc
stream from the big 3h-inch nozzle eradu-
ally crept coward the burning structures
the cries changed to cheers. The water,
with the terrific pressure behind It, shot In
solid stream over the building and ef-
fectually checked any spread of the flames
toward the river Wherever the Freight
ei stream MT sningies new ana the names
ceased, but she could only work on the
outside, while the men from engine COM
panies Nos. 4, Is and 10 and Tuck C fought
the flames inside the buildings.
The stream from the boat was thrown
through the masts of several vessels but it
went in solid body for fully 800 feet and
beyond that in broken spray, and undoubt-
eddy prevented the flames from reaching
Berry's oyster house, which was unframed.
1t is stated that the Firefghter was using
but one pump while working yesterday and
that had force enough 200 feet away TO rip
the roof of the burning building. 1t is said
that with both pumps at work the stream
from the big bow nozzle on the Ffrefgtter
will cut its way through brick walls, and
those who saw her work yesterday evening
are sure she can do all that is claimed for
her.
The officials of the fire department and
the firemen aboard the boat are much
pleased with the hit she made on her first
public appearance.
