in the mines. 1t may be impossible to
reach thirty or forty more bodies in The

at seventy.
The explosion yesterday was caused by
a windy shot below the second entry.
fwenty-siX men were taken out alive.
They will recover. Men. women and chill
dren remained about the mouth of the
mine and despite the fact that all are
greatly. .fatigued. the work of taking out
bodies is being pushed. The bodies last
taken out were badly backened.
Mine Is on Fire.
AS the rescuing' forces got further into
the mine. currents of hot air indicated
that fire had broken out. State Mine In

thing like 1,500 feet. There was terrific
explosion; the force was made known
outside by the dust and timbers that were
blown out in great quantities. destroying
small buildings nearby and landing some
distance away. There was terrific heat
near the shaft after the explosion.
Officers of the mining company imme-
diately took steps to start a. rescue party
to get to the men on the inside. The fans
were starred and other means employed
to eliminate the bad air Within an hour
fourteen men had crawled out of the
mine, and their descrip ton of the interior
conditions was terrible. Several of these
men were severely burned.

The Yolande mine is a few miles from
Virginia City, where a similar explosion
occurred about two years ago, when 1l2
men were killed. The Yoiande Coal and

A UsURPATIoN OF POWER.
Decision Against Taking Pictures of
Indicted Men-Appeal Noted.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 17.-Justice
Burr in the supreme court, Brooklyn, to-
day handed down decision finding Au-
gust Iluhne, who is acting police captain
and head of the Brooklyn detective bu-
reau in contempt of court and sentenc-
ing him to thirty days in Jail and fine
of $3.50, or in case the fine is not paid
day in Jail for each dollar of the fine He
will appeal the decision, and the appeal
acts stay to the sentence, so that
Kuhne is in no immediate danger of 60
ing to prison. The finding grows out of
the photographing of Frank Jenkins, who
was indicted in the Brooklyn bank ca ses
In decision which he handed down last
week in the case of William Cow, who
was also photographed by the police after
lie had given himself up to the district
attorney, Justice Burr gave his opinion
of the methods of the police in taking
pictures of men who had been convicted
of no crime.
Although he denied the motion of Cow
to have his picture removed from the gal
lery. he said that his only reason for do
ing so was that Cow had tried the wrong
remedy; He said that the custom of the
police in taking pictures of men who were
simply under indictment was usurpation
of power that there was nothing either
in statute or in the constitution to up
hold them in this practice.

miral Rojestvensky, who during the
Russo-Japanese war led the ill-starred
Russian fleet around Africa to ultimate
defeat at the hands Of the Japanese in
the Sea of Japan. is keenly interested in
the cruise of the American battleship
squadron. He talked today with the cor
respondent of the Associated Press on
the matter. From his own experience
Admiral Roiestvensky is familiar with
the problems which confront Rear Ad-
miral Evans, and after outlining some
of the difficulties the American vessels
would have to overcome. said he consid-
cred the voyage to the Pacific to be en-
tirely practicable.

vensky. Sheltered harbors are available
for coaling. and there is no fear of inter-
ference on the part of any of the South
American governments. The passage of
the Straits of Magellan, especially in
summer time, presents no difficulty to a
skilled commander. This expedition diff
fers from the trip of the Baltic fleet in
that we were obliged to coal at sea We

Effect on Japan.

According to Admiral Rojestvensky, the
chief criterion of the success of the voy-
age will be Rear Admiral Evans ability
to bring every vessel of the squadron to
the various stopping places on schedule
time. The struggling due to mechanical
defects, he said, will be hard to over
come.
The British fleet. which ranks among the
most efficient in the world, found 1t neces-
sary to drop the laggards during its recent
maneuvers. This would be fatal In war
time
The Russian admiral then spoke of the
effect of the American squadron in the
Pacific on the japanese. and said:
While this voyage will be valuable in
welding the fleet into homogeneous
weapon, it will have also a high strategic
value in curbing the pretensions of the
Japanese. whose jingoism has noticeably
abated since the announcement of the
PLAN
Rojestvensky disparaged the idea of
duplicating the batt.eship squadron. one
for the Atlantic and the other for the Pa
cific. He declared that one fleet would be
adequate for the protection of both coasts.
and that its transfer could be made period
ically with advantage to both ships and
crews. The fleet should have its base at
San Francisco or some other American
port while in the Pacific. he said; to sta
ton it in the Philippines would be expen-
sive and unnecessary.
Wants No Russian Fleet.
Contrasting the American and japanese
fleets, the Russian admiral said:
"The Japanese personnel. man for man,
is now undoubtedly more efficient than
the American. due to practice in battle;
but the American ships exceed the
Japanese in strength and numbers that
there is no question of American SUI
periority. l consider that the question
of war between Japan and the United
States is quite excluded
Continuing the conversation Admiral
Rojestvensky said he was opposed to the
rebuilding of the Russian fleet. He be-
lieves that Russa's future will be on
cost would he better spent in building
up a commercial marine.
I'VE may spend for or five millards in
the next ten years" Admiral Rojest-
vensky went on. las it is proposed to
overwheIm Russia with debt in order to
secure fleet stronger than Japan's, but
the future of our Asiatic possessions will
be determined by the army, not by the
navy.

ed heroic measures for relief. A tele-
gram was sent TO c. NJ. Levev, N. p.
agent at Tacoma, informing him OF
conditions and that an organization o.!
100 people had been formed for Selling
and appropriating the first shipment
of coal, that the company should at.
tempt to haul through that city. Ten
carloads, the dispatch says, were
needed for immediate use, and like
amount daily, while severe weather
continues. The announcement is
signed by the Mayor, the Sheriff and
the Chief of Police, officially, and
their demand does not seem unreason-
able, when it is considered that from
fifteen to thirty car. loads OF coal are
hauled through that city eastward
between 3 o'clock and daylight every
morning. This proceedings does not
partake of the characteristic of the
usual "holdup," from the fact that
the people intend to pay for the coal,
at its full value, and the plea OF self
preservation may be urged IN Justihca.
ton, facts which will be given full
weight if the company ever goes into
court for redress. Then again it lie
believed that the transportation COM
panies are, in some degree At least,
responsible for the shortage at many
points accessible at all seasons, except
the ever-possible contingency that has
happened, for which it was the special
duty Of those who control great and
necessarily monopolis.ic feeding lines,
to supply. The temperature at North
Yakima, Monday night, was two de-.
grees below zero.
A sequel to this determination hap.

eral hundred citizens participated fn

coal. They adopted novel way OF re.
tanning the cars when an attempt was
made to move on by pulling the lev.
ers discharglng the loads OF "black
diamonds" on the ground, obstructing
the track completely. The coal was
carried away in all sorts of receptacles.
and one man took off bis overalls and
filled it with the now superlatively
precious commodity. The railroad
officials offered no opposition except
in q quiet way and the people had
things all their own way. Who can
blame them? Self.preservation is the
first law of nature. See Matthew
