DUST ExPLODEs IN MINE AND
MEN WE'RE IMPRISONED 500
FEET BELOW.
HORROR IN W. VIRGINIA
The Defamation Heard for Miles
Worst Mine Accident That Ever
Occurred In the State-The
Attempt at Rescue.

Charleston, w. Va.-With a detona-
ton heard for miles, and hurting
debris hundreds of feet in the air,
dust in the Stuart mine les Fayette-
vile, exploded, bringing a terrible
death to so or more who were at
work 500 feet below the usrface.
There is no chance that any will
be taken Out alive, for it is thought
that the terrific explosion snutfed out
their lives instantly. 1t will not be
possible for rescuers to reach the bot
tom of the shaft for 48 hours.
The disaster Is perhaps the worst
in the number of killed in the history
of this state. Most of the men were
Americans, and many of them were
married and had large families. There
were a dozen or more colored men
and about 20 aliens among the VIC
Tins.
Rescue Work:
The rescue work was begun as soon
as the shaft house could be repaired.
About two hours after the explosion
three men were lowered into the shaft
in an improvised butcket. Before de-
scending 60 feet two were overcome
and the third was barely able to give
the signal to hoist. Further attempts
were abandoned. Air was supplied to
the mine by several large fans, but
the mechanism was damaged, and the
fans were idle about two hours. The
fans have been started again, and If
the men were not all killed it may be
that they will have air enough to sur
vive until the rescuers reach them.
Only One Opening.
The Stuart mine has only one
opening, although an entry has been
driven to connect with a parallel mine
a short distance away. The shaft has
three compartments. two for the cages
and n for air. Smoke and dust
poured into the air shaft for hundreds
of feet from the v%entilating compart.
ment and it was wrecked. 1t Is stated
that nearly all the men we're at work
in the entries near the bottom of the
shaft.
No official announcement Of the dis
aster or its cause has as yet been
made by the officers of the company
That dust caused the explosion Is
stated by persons at the scene, but
the investigation may prove other
wise.
The Stuart mine is 568 feet deep
The mine is located on the White
Oak Fuel Co.'S private line, about foul
miles from Fayetteville. 1t has beer
in operation three years.

have not been ascertained, were also
killed, 1t Is thought

total debt; less cash in the treasury,
amounted to $92T,441, FOG, which is a
decrease for the month of $7,629,571

debt on which interest has ceased
since maturity, $1,095, 745; debt bear

THE California delegation had a

United States and Japan will expire
March IL this year. President Roose-
welt has heretofore assured the mem
bers Of congress from California that
he would endeavor to form a new
treaty with the Japanese empire
which would meet with their entire APP
proval, and at the same time prove
satisfactory to the Toxic government.
Leave All to the President.
The Californians have in the past
insisted on an exclusion act to bar
Japanese coolies out of the United
States, but it is limited, as a result
Of the conference, that Senators Per-
kins and Flint, and the members of
the house of representatives from that
state, have practically agreed to waive
this demand and leave it to President
Roosevelt to negotiate a new conven-
ton that will keep Japanese coolie
labor u Of this country.
What Japan Will Do.
Japan has made 1t clear that she
will only consider a treaty that is
mutual, and what concessions this gov.
eminent has been asked to make have
not been made public. 1t is admitted
at the Japanese embassy that Wis
count Aoki, the Japanese ambassador,
has discussed the proposed treaty with
the president, and that they are in
perfect accord. The second secretary
of the embassy, Mr.. Hanihara, stated
that Japan did not encourage her la
borers to come to this country.

Root positively refused to make any
statement touching the japanese situa-
ton in its relation to the conference,

met and the California congressional
delegation. He does, however, deny
the authenticity of any of the pub

as to the imminence of war, the

CARDS as one eminently unsuited for

Japanese Ambassador Declines.
The Japanese ambassador declined
to be seen, but the members of the
embassy staff declare he had not au-
thorized any newspaper statement in
this subject.
Origin Of the Rumor.
The fact appears to be that a state

anese minister for foreign affairs, to
the effect that in event the courts up

quarters enormously attributed to
Secretary Root, who has been put in
the position Of stating that he had re.
ceived an ultimatum from the Jap.
anese minister for foreign affairs.
Another Denial from Root.
Mr.. Root denies that he has received
any such communication, and careful
inquiry fails to show that the alleged
remark of Baron Hayashi has ever
been communicated officially to this
government.

The state authorities should work out
