The West virgin IA Mine Disaster.

Ekins, w. Va, Feb. 6 Revised
estimates OF the number of victims killed
by the explosion in the Thomas mine
Monday, do not reduce it. Sixteen
bodies had been removed from the mine
up TO 10 O'Clock last night, making the
total Of known dead at least 10. II is
admitted by the company that about 10
men remain entombed. Practically all
bodies recovered were badly mauglec
aud some were iearfully burned, making
recognition out of the question. Not
until the gas is driven from the mine
can the true extent of the disaster be
learned. Ooe foreman declared that
over 80 foreigners, mostly Hungariaos,
are still 10 the mine. 1t is asserted that
the ventilation tau, which failed when q
relief party had eulered the mine, re-
sulting 10 the death of Superintendent
Daniel Jones, had not been in good re-
pair for several days. This, however,
il denied By the company.

DRAMATIC SCENE.

A dramatic scene was enacted in the
Bailey Investigation in Austin, Texas,
yesterday, almost resulting in personal
encounter between Senator J. W. Bailey
and r. n. Meulz, Of Houston.
The crash occurred shortly before the
legislative committee resum ed consider
alton of the charges pending against
Senator Bailey. Mr.. Mentz WAS on the
stand, when Representative Coke, who
is prosecuting the charges against Sen
ator Bailey, asked Mr.. Ment2 il Colonel
Cowart, of Dallas, had not gone to New
York to see Bailey. Mr.. Coke asked il
Colonel O0wart's Wait, ostensibly TO
have his throat trested, was not really
made for the purpose Of attending to
some business for tho Kirby Lumber
Company.
Senator Bailey, who had entered the
room q few minutes before, arose and
said that any one man who said that
Oowart went to New York 10 see him
was a liar.
The witness understood that Senator
Bailey meant him and he srose in his
seat and declared emphatieally that he
would allow no man to call him liar
He asserted that he was not willing
witness, "but go help me Cad, ! will
allow no msn 10 call me liar" he
shouted
Senator Bailey started for the witness,
who seemed ready to meet him. Deputy
Sheriff White stopped Senator Bailey and
trouble was averted. The Senator then
apologized to the committee, declaring be
had been irritated 30 much during the
last fow weeks that he could hardly help
his action. He asserted that it was hard
to keep from denouncing what he knew
to % lies
Representative Coke IetOrted that
Bailey had legal advisers who were able
to care for bis interests
The afternoon WAS given over to the
examination Of witnesses without any
material points being brought out. None
OF the witnesses testified TO anything
damaging to Senator Bailey.
The chairman of the committee an
nounced that the attorneys Of the Wateru-
