English laws are American laws. The
Constitution looks 10 English precedents,
and every one of our State constitutions
comes from the same source. American

fifteen have been of direct English stock,

all but two of the Presidents have COME

Van Buren, and Roosevelt, were Dutch in
the paternal line. but both Scotch I'm the

glish names which stand out in the his
tory of the republic would be TO set
down the names Of at least three-fourths
of the men whose fame has made the
glory of America in statecraft, war, and
letters. Comparatively few English are
coming To the United States now, the
yearly immigration being about $1,000,
and they are almost Immediately assimi-

Death List Will be From 15O to 20O--
 second Explosion May Bring It Up to
 3OO-Fifty Live Men Brought Out but
 Many of Them Will Die as Result of
 Injuries--Emperor Orders Full Re-
 port Sent to Him.
 Saarbruecken, Rheinish Prussia, Jan. 2S-A fire damp explosion occurred at 8 o'clock this morning in the Reden coal mine at St. Johann on -Saar. op- posite this town and caused the loss of, from 15o to 200 lives. The Reden mine is owned by the Prussian government.
 Up to o'clock this evening seventy seven bodies had been brought to the surface and fifty-six corpses were krown to be still underground. Only fifty live men, up to the present time, have been brought out. and of these the doctors say at least thirty-fve will surely die, as they are frightfully in- jured through having been hurled against the walls of the galleries by the force of the explosion.
 An official report given out this eve ming says the number of dead cannot exceed 16O.
 T,a, 1T 4N1Hy FA1xt 14A Nsiz@ cue workers were hurried from all the adjacent mines and boldly entered the Reden shaft in great numbers. The work of rescue has been greatly ham pered by the poisonous gases result ing from the explosion and by a fierce fire that broke out immediately aft- erwards. During the afternoon the ef- forts at rescue had to be suspenses for these reasons, and the rescue work CTS were ordered out of the mine. Aft CT all the rescuers had reached day. light, according to one version, a sec ond terrific detonation was heard un- der ground. But according to anoth- CT report many of the rescuers were still below when the second explosion occurred. and it is estimaetd that the casualty list from the two explosions reaches total fo 300 men.
 It is regarded as certain that the lowest levels of the mines are com pletely wrecked, and the inspectors are deliberating upon further meas ures to get control of the fire. The managers are discussing the advisabil- ity of flooding these levels as the only raaens of extinguishing the flames. It is believed that all of the men who were in the lower levels assuredly are dead. It will take a full week to en- ter and explore the mine.
 Emperor William has ordered that a full report of the disaster be sent him.
