PLAN SPRING UPRISING
Revolutionary Leaders Concentrating
Their Activities in Another Direc-
tion-Terrorists Forced into Close
Quarters by Police.
[By Associated Press]

st. Petersburg, Feb. 8.-Realizing
the futility of open agitation at pres
ent among the workmen and in order
to avoid the fate of it's three prede-
cessors, the Workmen's Council has
formerly disbanded and has published
an announcement that it will not re-
sumo it's deliberations until the forces
of reaction have ceased their activity.
The revolutionary leaders have now
concentrated their energies on prepar-
ing for an uprising in the spring and
on acts of terrorism.
>. The revelations of the Move Vrem-
eva regarding the smuggling of arms
into Finland from Sweden have re-
doubled the vigilance of the guards on
the Russo-Finnish frontier and they
We're rewarded yesterday by the cap
ture of two wagons loaded with rifles
which were on their way to st. Peters
burg.
Considerable shipments of dynamite
have recently been seized by the po-
lice, who are now in such close touch
with the conspirators that they are
frequently forced to abandon bombs.
A peasant yesterday fished three
bombs from the Neva and a party of
children while coasting at Nizhni
Novgorod found in the snow a box
filled with bombs which exploded, kill
ing one child and mortally wounding
another.

Unknown Number Of Coal Miners En-
tOmbed by Explosion.
by Associated Pressl

Charleston, w. Va, Feb. Sat
least % men are supposed to nave met
death in terrible mine explosion in
the Parallel mine of the Stewart Coal
company at Hope HILL Thirty-nine
men were employed in the mine and
only II have escaped alive. At mid
night six bodies had been recovered
near the mouth of the mine and it is
certain that all the others in the
mine are dead.
The explosion is said to have been
caused by the ignition of gas in the
western portion of the mine, which
is badly wrecked The men rescued
were employed in the eastern portion
and not exposed to the full force OF
the explosion. 1t is expected that
the bodies of the others will not be
reached until some time tomorrow.
The explosion occurred at 1 o'clock
this afternoon and was caused by
pocket Of gas which was struck in
fault of the mine. 1t is thought the
miners were killed outright by the
explosion. The system of fans was
completely wrecked and all air was
shut off, leaving the men who had not
been killed by the explosion to smosA-
er to death
The mine is a shaft of 700 feet deep
and the unfortunate miners had little
chance of escape. Most of the miners

New York, Feb. 8.-John F. Wallace,
former chief engineer of the Panama

RIOTOUS BALL PLAYERS
Fill Up with Whiskey and Terrorize
Passengers on Train by FIourishina
Revolver.
[By Associated Pressl

Albany, N. Y, Feb. 8.-Michael j.
Donlin, center-felder of the New York
National league baseball club, Walter
Bennett, Southern league pitcher,
and John J. McGrath, another profess
sional ballplayer, all members of an
indoor baseball team, en- route to be-
gin series of games at Troy, were
arrested here on the arrival of their
train this afternoon.
They are charged with disorderly
conduct on the train. Donlin is
charged also with threatening porter
with loaded revolver
According to the story of the porter
the party began drinking soon after
the train left the Grand Central sta
ton and their conduct became annoy
ing to other passengers and they were
repeatedly cautioned by the conductor
and crew. The warnings proved in
effectual and finally, the porter alleges,
Donlin drew pistol and pointed it at
him, throwing the passengers into a
panic Some of the more prudent
members of the party took the weapon
from Donlin.
At Poughkeepsie the conductor tele-
graphed to Albany and when the train
reached here Donlin, Bennett and Nc
Grath were pointed out and arrested.

view. My answer was yes followed
by the general remark that his denun-
citation almost crushed me or words
to that effect, referring to the effect
of his denunciation and not to the Ian
guage used by him. When the AS
sociated Press report was brought to
my attention was absolutely at loss
to determine in what way the misun-
derstapding occurred, until my secre-
tary, who afterward examined the Of
fetal record, informed me as to how
the error had evidently occurred upon
the part of the press reporters. 1t
may be plainly seen that this error
was due to the similarity between the
words cursed and 'crushed.'''

Mccall and Hamilton Held Equally Re-
sponsible for Irregularities.
tBy Associated Pressl

New York, Feb. S.-The special com
mittee appointed by the trustees of
the New York Life Insurance COM
pany to investigate the affairs of the
company today made partial report
OF it's labors to the directors. This
report deals only with the relations
of Andrew Hamilton, the legislative
agent, with the company and is a
severe arraignment of his methods.
John A. Mccall, late president of
the New York Life Insurance COM
pany, also comes in for a share of
the committees criticism. He is
blamed for his methods in connection
with the bureau of taxation and
legislation" during the last 10 years
and for allowing Hamilton to pay out
vast sums without proper account
ing. Special attention is called to the
remittances which the committee says
it has been unable to ascertain and
recommends that proceedings be insti-
tuted against Hamilton and Mccall for
an accounting and payment.
The committee adds on this point
that application has been made to Nc
call for information regarding the
transaction, but it is informed by Nc
Calls family that his physical and
nervous condition is such that the
subject cannot be taken up at pres
ent
AS to Hamilton's health, which has
been represented as being bad, the
committee says it has been informed
that he was physically able to travel,

caught in the mine are Hungarians
or Negroes, who had little experience
in mining. They were not expecting
the pocket of gas which is nearly al
ways discovered in mine faults in
the Kanawaha region.
1t is impossible to ascertain the ex-
act number of miners killed. The
mine has capacity of 500 tons per
day requiring about 60 miners and in
side men to operate when full supply
OF cars were abtainable The mine
was not being operated to full capicity
and in addition some of the miners
had come out for the day and left for
their homes. The explosion was fol-
lowed by low rumbling.
Men, women and children made a
wild rush for the mouth of the mine
when the explosion occurred and in a
very few minutes hundreds of people
We're gathered at the top of the shaft
and the gratest confusion prevailed.
No one seemed to have positive infor-
nation as to how many men were in
the mine when the explosion occurred
and their names are not obtainable.
It was the first explosion in a shaft
in this field: 1t is surmised that it
was caused by an accumulation of
dust. The mine was finely equipped
aud was among the best in the field. It
was opened year ago and was con-
sidered perfectly safe.

and has eXerted every effort to in
duce him to return and make full
disclosure of his payments, disburse-
ments and transactions, but without
success.
The committee also holds both Nc
Call and Hamilton responsible for
$4,000 advanced to Hamilton to pay
the state tax and which, the committee
declares, was used by Hamilton for
his own purposes. The committee is
advised that both are liable for this
sum- The committee maintains also
that it is matter for legal adiudica-
tion as to whether George w. Perkins
OF, the firm of J. P. Morgan & Co. is
not liable for the payment of Hamil-
toms notes for $59,31O. Mr.. Perkins
paid this account, the committee
holds, out of the New York Life In
surance company's share of profits on
it's participation in the United
States legal corporation syndi-
cate. The committee holds also
that the payment of these notes by
the company was unwarranted. It is
only just to Mr.. Pekins to say, the re
port adds, that he acted in the matter
in entire good faith, that he derived
no benefit from the transactions and
that his liability, if any, is a techni-
cal one.
The committee recommends that
the law department of the company
institute appropriate legal proceedings
to carry into effect the findings and
conclusions of this report.

local Option Muddle.

Last Monday the attorneys of
the local option people were before
County Judge McNew and ask ID
that the certificate of the Nicholas
County Election Board as to the
result of the Local Option election
of April Is, 1905, be spread upon
the records, but 10, and behold
when the County Clerk was asked
for the Certificate" i. was dlscov-
cred it had never been filed or
lodged with him, but it was learn
ed from the Election Board that
they had filed their certificate at
the time of the election with the
City Clerk or Mayor instead of the
County Clerk or County Judge.
When this condition of facts was
discovered by the Local Option
attorney they got new certificate
up and dated it April 10Th, 1905.
and had two of the Election Board
OF 1905 sign it and filed it July 8,
1906. Then they asked Judge Nc
New to have it spread upon the
records and he did so. This is the
first certificate brought TO Judge
McNew's notice, hence the first
chance to have Local Option GER
tificate spread upon the records.
As one or two members of the
board who signed said certificate
have been out Of Office since Janu-
airy l, 1905, it's not believed by
many lawyers that said certificate
