BUT LITTLE IS LEARNED
ABOUT EXPLOSION OF
STUART Mine
Eighty Miners. Were EntOmbed
and the Explosion Was
Caused by Dust.
SCARCELY ANY HOPE OF
RESCUING ANY OF THEM

Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 30.--Lit-
tie additional has been learned here
today regarding yesterdays dust ex-
plosion in the Stuart mine near
Thurmond, West Virginia, in which
eighty or more miners are believed
TO have lost their lives. The Stuart
mine adjoins the Paral, in which an
explosion killed twenty-five men last
February, and an attempt to connect
the workings of the two mines was
underway when this explosion occur
red. There is still hope that some of
the entombed miners may have es-
capped the explosion and still survive
in some inner chambers of the mine
where the air has not been exhausted.
It is believed this morning that the
rescuers will not be able to reach the
bottom of the shaft until late In the
day and some hours must elapse after
that before the fate of the entombed
men can positively be known.
Later: It was stated today that
there was 81 men in the mine when
the explosion occurred yesterday af-
ternoon. 1t is not believed that any
OF the men will be taken out aliveS
the force of the explosion having
been so terrific as to wreck the entire
inner workings So far the cage In
the mine has been covered 800 feet
or within $50 feet of the bottom. Re-
pairing will have to be done before
the cage can be let entirely down. 1t
is thought the mine is on fire. Heat
and smoke from the shaft is intense
and the entombes men could not be
reached for a day or so even II the
shaft were in working order.

FRENCH CABINET DIVIDED
ON POPE'S UITIMATlAI

Paris, Jan. 30.-The French cabi-
net has hardly recovered from it's sur
prise at the proposition which the
bishops, with the approval of the
Pope, submitted to the government
for a modus vivendi upon the basis
of a virtual lease of the churches in
perpetuity to the parish priests and
apparently some confusion exists as
to what course TO adopt.
The extreme radicals are incensed
at the peremptory tone of the COM
munications and at the dispatches
from Rome, representing the Vatican
as being determined, If the PROPOSE
ton is rejected that the parish priests
shall leave their churches and sus-
pend public worship. The moderates
believe that the government, having
accomplished the separation OF church
and state, can afford to accept any
definite solution of the difficulties, in
the interest OF peace.

Arrived in Washington Judge
Fall With Him.

Washington. -. G.. Jan. 3O.-Severe
criticism of Secretary Hitchcock was
made IN the senate today by Senator
Carter OF Montana. The criticism
vas based on the order of the secre-
tary last December. which prohibits
a patent to any land under any of the
land laws until after examination on
the ground by special agent. Car
ter sometime ago proposed a resolu-
ton, which denies the right of any
executive officer to prevent the grant
ing of "a patent when the law under
which it is claimed to have been
made has been carried out.
He said the order is without prece-
dent in the history of the government
1t casts doubt on the veracity, honor,
integrity and good faith of all set
tiers on the public domain of the
United States. He said that the sec
retary had made repeated charges of
fraud in the settlement of govern
ment land. Excluding the timber
area of the northwest there had been
practically no fraudulent entries.
Even the president had been led to
believe and had become alarmed by
the secrvt&ry's oft-repeated charges.
In the name of justice to 100000 en-
trymen on the public domain, to the
families dependent on them and to
their discredited neighbors aggregat-
ing substantially twenty-seven mill
lion of people, accused and injured.
Carter asked for a hearing from the
senate. the president and the coun-
try,
Carter presented and analyzed rec
ords of entries and patents issued un-
der the various land laws and said
they show that mot to exceed one
half of one per cent of final home
stead entries. less than one per cent
of final desert land entries, less thar
enc half of one per cent of final tim
br and stone entries, and less thar
one half of one per cent of final Goa
entries had been found to be fraudu
lent, and the percentage of mineral
entries tainted with fraud, is small in
deed.
