Lens, France, April 5.-Another liv-
ing survivor of the mine disaster at
Courrieres March 10 was discovered
during the morning and brought out OF
the pit.

at the pit, was surrounded by a crowd
of people who cursed and wor at
him. one woman going sc far as to
strike the engineer.

attacked by a crowd of women crying:
Death to the murderers." They were
rescued by a squadron OF dragons.

believe that there are other men alive

LONG REST IMPERATIVE.
Depew Will Not Return to Washington
for Some Months.

Tor some MontnS.
New York, April 5.-Tne Tribune
says:
Senator Depew, who left Washing
ton a month ago on the advice of his
physician, will not, in all probability,
resume his seat in the senate during
the present session. Since he returned
from the capital the senator has been
in retirement In Westchester county.
Both the senator's physician and a
member of his family say that the sole
reason for withholding information as
to his exact whereabouts is to afford
him the privacy without which abso-
lutte rest would be impossible.
The following statement of Senator
Depew's condition is taken from a
communication addressed to a mem
Der of the senator's family by DR..
Pearce Bailey Of this city:
Senator Depew has been under my
care since last autumn. He Is suffer.
ing from a breakdown, the re-
suit of prolonged strain. | now expect
him to make good recovery and re
sumo his senatorial duties. For such a
result a complete rest of several
months Is imperative"
DR.. Bailey confirmed the foregoing
and added that the period of rest pre-
scribed would preclude the. return OF
the senator to Washington before the
end of the present session.
