Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Johnstown,. Pa, April 3O.-"Stlll
alive" is the report brought to the
surface this morning BY the rescuing
party that has been trying to reach
the seven men who have been i'm
prisoned in the Berwind-W White mine
at FoIstwell, Somerset county, since
last Friday. by a rush of water that
filled all headings of the mines. Ten
pumps are emptying the mine at the
rate Of 1000 of gallons a minute, and
this morning 1t was expected that by
early this afternoon the men would be
reached. =
Shortly after noon four men started
into the mine in an effort to reach
their unfortunate colleagues. They
were forced to wade in darkness and
in a crouching position as the passage
was but four feet high. There was
sufficient room between the water and
the roof to give clear space for the
mems heads. One Of the four was a
brother of Michael Boliya, foreman,
who is one of the unfortunates. Slung
acros the shoulders of the rescuers
were water tight cans carrying drink
ing water and nourishment, the lat
ter foods in liquod form. They have
mile to go before reaching the i'm
prisoned men and it will be near night
before they will report.

GREAT USERS

We Used Billions of Pounds of
Sugar During the Past
Fiscal Year.

Associated Press Cable to The Evening"
Washington, April 30.-The con-
sumption of sugar in the United States
in the fiscal year which ends with the
month of June will probably exceed
more than an earlier year in the his
tory of <the country, according to a
statement issued by the bureau of sta
tistics of the department of commerce
and labor today. The quantity of sug-
ar imported into the United States in
the nine months of. the fiscal year is
larger than in the corresponding peri
cd OF any earlier year, and the esti-
matet quantity of. sugar produced in
the United States in 1906 is larger
than that of any earlier year. The to-
tai quantity of sugar imported in the
nine months ending with March last
was $685., 100000 pounds, in round fig
ures, while the quantity brought in
during the first nine months of the
high record year, 1903, was 3,606 ,OO0,-
900. 1t is estimated that the produc-
ton of sugar in this country in 1906
was 2,304 100000 pounds, which en-
ceeds by 14,000,000 pounds the figures
OF the former high record year of 1905.
Home production now supplies lit
tle over one-fifth of the sugar con-
sumed in this country, and our island
possessions-Porto Rico, Hawaii and
the Philippines-supply practically an
other one-fifth, SO that the United
States is dependent upon foreign couu-
tries for about three-fifths of its enor-
nous sugar consumption, aggregating
over 5000, 100000 pounds per annum,
or an average of rs pounds per annum
for each individual. In tonnage the
sugar imported exceeds by far that of
any other article brought in. The
growth in the consumption of sugar in
this country has been far more rapid
than the growth of population. The
year 1906 was the first in the history
of the country in which the domestic
production of beet sugar exceeded that
produced from cane. The production
OF beet sugar in 1906 was $4,000, 900
pounds, while that of cane sugar was
60O.OOO,O00 pounds. About 60 per cent
of the worlds sugar is now produced
from beetS.

London, April, 30.-A dispatch from
Rome says that 1t has been finally de-
cided that the body of Pope Leo XIII,
shall be transferred to the church of
st. John later and at. night, and as
privately as possible. The idea of ask
ing the government to assist in the
ceremony and to guarantee the safety
of the procession conveying the re-
mains has been abandoned. The pope
told Cardinal Satolli that he was con-
vinced that he was interpreting his
predecessors wishes correctly in seek
; ing to have privacy observed, Cardin-
al iSatolli and other members of the
Sacred college, comprising the funeral
commission, concurred in this. Cardin-
al Satolli says that if the procession
was public, no number Of troops which
the government might supply could
prevent single disrespectful shout,
which would constitute an outrage
upon the corpse. Moreover, the in
tervention of troops might be miscon-
strued as sign of reconciliation be-
tween the vatican and the government.

Washington, April 3O.-The most IN,
teresting feature OF the fifty-seventh
annual reunion OF the Society of the
Army of the Potomac this week will
lbe the unveiling on May 2 of the hero
ic bronze equestrian statute ,of Gen.
George B. Mcclellan, who was the or
gantzer and first commander of the
Army Of the Potomac. The statute oc-
cupies a prominent position in the
northwestern section of the city. Pres
ident Roosevelt Is to make the princi-
pal speech, and addresses also will be
made by Generals Sickles, Howard and
Dodge. A feature of the exercises will
be brief history of the statute, which
is the work of Frederick Macmonnies,
the American sculptor residing In Par
is, by Gen. Horatio G. King, secretary
OF the society. About 5000 troops,
regulars an dmilitia, will participate
In the ceremonies.
The reunion is to begin on May /
and will continue four days. On May
the veterans are to be received by
the president at the White House and
there will be a banquet that evening.
The statute, which Is to be unveiled
on Thursday, has an interesting his.
tory. Mr.. Macmonnies first made his
model at his studio in Giverny, near
Paris, where; it was visited by many
artists and much admired for its Wig
orous treatment. Mr.. Macmonnies
modelled the figure of the general from
photographs, busts and from articles
worn by him during war times, and
furnished the sculptor by Relatives and
comrades of General Mcclellan. The
model for the horse was in part taken
from the huge plaster cast of the wild
horses which is conspicuous fea-
ture of Macmonnies' studio. :.
The statute was later brought to
Paris and exhibited in Mr.. Macmon-
MES studio on the, Rue de 'lArrive,
where 1t was viewed by the widow Of
General Mcclellan, her son, Mayor Me-
Clellan of New York, and the commit
tee appointed by the state department
to pass upon 1t. The committee in
cluded Consul General Mason of Par
is, who served as captain under Cen
eral Mcclellan. Mr.. Mason pronounced
the figure striking likeness of the
general, recalling that it showed many
OF the latter's personal characters
tics OF manner and dress, such as the
old-fashioned square-toed boots. bag
gy sleeves and sloych hat This slouch
hat, as It appeared In the original plas-
ter model, caused considerable agita-
ton. Some of the generals old COM
rades of the Army Of the Potomac in
sisted that he always wore the small
service cap with leather peak. and that
the slouch hat was of much later ori:
GIN. After much discussion, in which
the Society of the Army of the Poto-
mac took, some part, a compromise
was made by which the slouch hat was
removed, and the Sold-time peaked cap
was put in its place. 1t Is in this form
that the bronze figure was finally cast.
Before being shipped to the United
States the statute was exhibited at the
national salon in Paris and was one of
the most striking features in that great
exhibition of sculpture and painting.

Vienna, April N30.-The revolutinary

military government has been pro-
claimed, ds assuming serious a char
ing here by way Of Ragusa. The dis
order is said TO be rapidly spreading
throughout the country. The center
Of discomfort is at SAndrievica, the
headquarters OF the vassojevic, the
numerically strongest clan in the
principality of Montenegro. The ris-
ing Is attributed largely to the alleged
attempts of Prince Nicholas to over
ride the constitution which he be-
slowed on the country in 1905, and al
so to his incessant drain on the pub
lie purse. The prince is accused Of
utilizing the taxes and other state
funds to swell his private banking ac-
