Toxic, Dec. I9.-"Japan will
heartily welcome the American fleet
to the Pacific and the ports of
this country if it is decided to extend
the trip in this direction" said Wis
count Hayashi. the foreign minister,
TO an Associated Press representative
today.
The fact that the fleet is sailing
towards the Pacific creates no ex-
element here, and Japan views In
the friendliest manner any action
America may, within the scope of its
wisdom, see fit to take in the dispo-
sition of it's naval force, because the
Japanese people have absolute con-
fldence in the friendly attitude of
American statesmen and the great
mass of the American people"
Viscount Hayashi in this interview
apparently voiced the sentiment of
the whole Japanese people.
Admiral County Togo and Minis
ter of the Nevy Saito also expressed
the friendliest of sentiments.
Privy Counselor Count Kaneko
said:
The center of diplomacy having
shifted to Asia, it is of predominant
Importance that the peace of the Pa
cific ocean should be well guarded
and insured. As things now stand
such guardian should be the United
States and Japan, and an increase of
the armament of the Pacific cah on
ly mean a considerable addition TO
the insurance of tranquility. 1t is
not too much to say that Japan aud
the United States have a joint re-
sponsibility in maintain ing the peace

AWFUL TOLL
OF DEATH
In Mine HORRORS
America Leads the World
Over 1000 Dead in Three
Months---6,OOO Killed Last
startling Figures.
(By Associated Press

Washington. Dec. 19.-The coal
mines of the United States produce
yearly three times as many deaths
as those of most European countries.
In the last seventeen years a.
$40 men have given up their lives
in the mines of this country.
As many violent deaths have oc-
CURED in the mines during the past
six years as during the preceding IL
years The number of fatal acci-
dents each year is now double that
OF the year 1895. In 1906, 6,S61
men were killed or injured In the
mines. the dead numbering 2.06I
and the injured 1890.
These terrible facts have been
cleaned by government experts act
ing under orders from Secretary Gar
field of the interior department to
Investigate the nature and extent of
mine accidents, particularly those re-
sulting from explosions, and also to
make investigation as to how much
mining conditions have improved.
The statement in the bulletin that
an increase in the number of mine
explosions may be expected to con-
tinue has already proven fateful. for
since the words were written the
country has been startled with the
news of three mine explosions, cost
ing nearly 500 lives. The first ex-
plosioh occurred in Pennsylvania In
the early part of December and cost
321 lives, then followed the Monon-
gah mine disaster with loss of near
ly 400 lives, and the explosion In Al
ALBANIA the other day with 61 lives
lost; and today comes the news of
heavy loss of life in an explosion at
Conhellsville, Pa.
