LIVES LOST.
No Hope That Any Of the Men En-

No Hope That Any Of the Men En-
tombed in Coal Mine Are Alive.
Pittsburg, Dec. 4.-The fate of five
American and forty-two foreign min
ers, while not definitely known, was
pretty we'll established late yesterday
by the finding of the body of a mine
pumper near the twenty-second en-
try of the Naomi mine of the United
Coal company at Fayette City, thirty
five miles from this city. The man
had died from suffocation.
Judging from the two fatalities thus
far known, both having been caused
by poisonous gas fumes, it is almost
certain that the f~orty-seven miners
still entombed in the mine have sue
cumbed to the deadly afterdamp.
Rescuers Labor Constantly.
There is also a possibility that the
explosion of Sunday night occurred so
close to the men that they were kill
tons of rock and earth. Since shortly
after 8 o'clock Sunday night a large
force of rescuers have labored almost
constantly in an effort to reach the
imprisoned men. The work has been
necessarily slow on account of the
w%reckage and the after-damp. Not
w%ithstanding the fact that the rescue
parties have worked In fifteen-minute
relays. a score or more of their mem
bers have been compelled to go to
their homes, suffering from the poi.
sonous gas. Two of the rescuers are
in a critical condition.
Believe All Are Dead.
The are divided in opinion
as to when they will reach the impris-
oned men. Some believe the end of
their search will not come until this
morning. In the meantime it is the
opinion of all that the men are dead.
Thirteen Bodies Found.
Up to midnight thirteen bodies had
been recovered from the mine. The
bodies were horribly charred by the
fire following the explosion.

GEN. Y0UNG'S CASE IS ARGUED
SUPREME COURT HEARS ARGU-
MENTS RELATIVE TO CON-
TEMPT CHARGE. .

Washington, Dec. 4.-The case OF
Attorney General Edward T. Young OF
Minnesota, involving a fine of $1,000
on the charge of contempt OF court,
was argued in the supreme court or
the United States yesterday. The
case deals with the rights OF states TO
prescribe railroad rates, and the i'm
1%ortance of the matter was indicated
7 the effort to intervene which was
.uade in behalf of the corporations 90
ing business in other parts OF the
country, which involve the same ques-
tons. The ase against Mr.. Young
grew out of an effort by the Northern
Pacific Railway company to prevent
Young as attorney general from en-
forcing the state law of 1907. The
United States court for the district
of Minnesota, Judge Lochren pres1d-
ing, granted a temporary injunction,
in accordance with the prayer OF the
railroad company, but notWithstand-
ing this order Mr.. Young instituted
proceedings in the state district court
for Ramsey county. asking for a witt
Of mandamus compelling the railroad
company to comply with the law. he
was promptly summoned before Judge
L.ochren, who imposed a fine for con.
tempt.
The attorney general sought relief
by applying in an original action t"
the supreme court for a writ or ma
beas corpus, on the ground that the
Minnesota federal court was without
jurisdiction.
The case involves the constitutional
question whether an action like this
is not a suit against a state, which is
prohibited by the eleventh amend
ment to the constitution.
The Young case was argued by At
torney Thomas D. O'Brien OF Mime
sofa and Attorney General Hadley OF
Missouri for Mr.. Young and Chief
Counsel C. NJ. Bum of the Northern
Pacific against that official.

STEAMER MOUNT TEMPLE GOES
ON ROCKS IN BLiNDlNG
SNOW STORM.
IMMIGRANTS IN WILD PANIC
ROUGH SEA MAKES RESCUE
WORK HAZARDOUS - NO
LIVES ARE LOST.

Lunenburg. N. s., Dec. 4.-During
a binding snow storm yesterday the
Canadian Pacific Railway company's
steamship Mount Temple. bound from
Antwerp to st. John, N. B., with 600
passengers, struck La Have iron
bound lodges, fifteen miles south Of
Lunenburg. and may be a total loss.
The passengers are being transferred
on small steamers and tugs to Bridge
water and by morning it is expected
that all hands will have been safely
landed. When the steamer struck the
rocks there was much excitement
among the passengers, most OF whom
are immigrants, and it. was some time
before Capt. Boothby and his officers
could convince them that they were
in no immediate danger.
Crashed on the Rocks.
The Mount Temple left Antwerp on
Nov. 20 and on the u across expe-
rienced much rough weather. Early
yesterday the big vessel encountered
a snow storm which made it impossi-
BILE to see a ships length ahead. The
steamer ran too far to the westward
and was fully thirty miles out of her
course when she struck the lodges.
The crash of the vessel on the rocks
and the pounding of the surf
caused CONSERVATION among the i'm
migrants, especially the women. many
of whom, with babies in their arms,
ran wildly about the steamer, hysteri-
cally calling upon the officers and
male passengers to save them. The
sea was comparatively smooth at the
time and when the weather cleared
the excitement subsidized.
Work Of Rscue Slow.
Signals of distress were displayed
and guns were fired for assistance,
but several hours elapsed before the
wreck was discovered. Yesterday
afternoon a score of tugs and other
craft were sent from this town, La
Have, Bridgewater and other nearby
places.
The ~rescuing fleet had great diff
Guilty in lying by close to the Mount
Temple, as the seas, breaking over
the lodges, made the position of the
smaller craft hazardous. The re-
moval of the immigrants from the
decks of the steamer to the smaller
craft was slow work, and it was
thought that it would be well into the
night before the last of the passen-
gers could be landed.
Another Steamer Wrecked.
Sydney, N. s., Dec. 4. - During a
strong southeasterly gale last night a
steamer, supposed to be the Resti-
gouche of the North American Trans
portation company of Quebec, struck
off Cranberry Head while attempting
to make a harbor here. Tugs have
been sent to her assistance.
1t is thought that the steamer will
be a total loss. The steamer carried
a few passengers, and these, with the
crew, were still on board late last
night.
