W|LKIf IS AFTER
MEN "HIGH[R UP"
CONSPIRACY ALLEGED BY De
TECTlVE CHEF IN WALKER
MURDER CASE.
TAKES CHARGE Of OPERATIONS
MURDERED MAN WAS CLOSE
FRIEND OF HEAD OF SECRET
SERVICE.

Denver. Dec 1.-THE visit to Colo
RADIO of John e, Wilkie, chief of the
federal secret service, may be the sig
nal for additional arrests for the muir
der of Joseph A. Walker near Duran
go.
While no official intimation is given
of the sudden visit to Denver of the
chief, coming directly on the re-
ceipt of evidence from Durango of a
conspiracy to murder Walker, it is be-
lieved to indicate nothing else than
early action on the part of the gov
eminent against prominent citizens of
La Plata county on a charge of con-
spiracy.
Takes Personal Charge.
Mr.. Wilkie is III Denver to confer
with Lucien c. Wheeler. special agent
ton, and it is believed for the particu-
lar purpose of going over the evidence
which has been gathered by the secret
service men against other parties
than Mason and Vanderweide, the
two men now under arrest for killing
Walker.
Chief Wilkie is personally interest
ed in bringing to justice Walkers
slayers, the murdered man having
been close friend of the head Of the
department.
After Men "Higher Up"
Chief Wikie after conference with
Wheeler and District Attorney Gran
ston said that he was we'll satisfied
with the work which had been done
on the Walker case. And this also
bears out the opinion that the visit of
Chief Wilkie portends early action
against every one who may have been
even remotely responsible for the
death of the special agent. Never for
a moment has there been the slight
est let-up by the secret service men
in their search for evidence, and their
disclosures have been such that a per-
sonal inspection by the chief was
deemed necessary before final action
was taken against the men "higher

FoRTv-NINE LIVES LOST.
No Hope That Any Of the Men En-
tombed in Coal Mine Are Alive.


Pittsburg, Dec 4.-The fate of five
American and forty-two foreign min
ers, while not definitely known, was
pretty we'll established late yesterday
by the finding of the body of mine
pumper near the twenty-second en-.
try Of the Naomi mine of the United
Coal company at Fayette City, thirty
five miles from this city. The man
had died from suffocation.
Judging from the two fatalities thus
far known, both having been caused
by poisonous gas fumes, it is almost
certain that the forty-seven miners
still entombed in the mine have sue
cumbed to the deadly after-damp.
Rescuers Labor Constantly.
There is also a possibility that the
explosion of Sunday night occurred so
close to the men that they were kill
ed by it's force or the resultant fall of
tons Of rock and earth. Since shortly
after o'clock Sunday night a large
force of rescuers have labored almost
constantly in an effort to reach the
imprisoned men. The work has been
necessarily SLOW on account of the
wreckage and the after-damp. Not
withstanding the fact that the rescue
parties have worked in fifteen-minute
relays. a score or more of their mem
bers have been compelled to go to
their homes, suffering from the poi.
sonous gas. Two of the rescuers are
in critical condition.
Believe All Are Dead.
The rescuers are divided in opinion
as to when they will reach the impris.
oned men. Some believe the end of
their search will not come until this
morning. In the meantime it is the
opinion of all that the men are dead.
Thirteen Bodies Found.
Up to midnight thirteen bodies had
been recovered from the mine. The
bodies were horribly charred by the
fire following the explosion.

600 PASSENGERS
IN GRAVE PERIL
STEAMER MOUNT TEMPLE GOES
ON ROCKS IN BllNDiNo
SNOW STORM.
IMMIGRANTS IN WILD PAhIl
ROUGH SEA MAKES RESCUE
WORK HAZARDOUS - NO
LIVES ARE LOST.

Lunenburg, N. S, Dec. 4-DurinS
a binding snow storm yesterday the
Canadian Pacific Railway company's
steamship Mount Temule, bound from
Antwerp to St John, H. b.. with 800
passengers, struck la Have iron
bound lodges, fifteen miles south OF
Lunenburg, and may be a total loss.
The passengers are being transferred
on small steamers and tugs TO Bridge
water and by morning it is expected
that all hands will have been safely
landed. When the steamer struck the
rocks there was much excitement
among the passengers, most of whom
are immigrants, and it was some time
before Capt. Boothby and his officers
could convince them that they were
, in no immediate danger.
Crashed on the Rocks.
The Mount Temple left Antwerp on
Nov. 20 and on the run across eXpe-
rienced much rough weather. Early
yesterday the big vessel encountered
snow storm which made it impossl-
BILE to see ships length ahead. The
and was fully thirty miles out of her
course when she struck the lodges.
The crash of the vessel on the rocks
and the pounding of the surf
caused CONSERVATION among the i'm
migrants, especially the women, many
of whom, with babies in their arms,
ran wildly about the steamer, hysteri-
cally calling upon the officers and
male passengers to save them. The
sea was comparatively smooth at the
time and when the weather cleared
the excitement subsidized.
Work of Rscue Slow.
Signals of distress were displayed
and guns were fired for assistance,
but several hours elapsed before the
wreck was discovered. Yesterday
afternoon a score of tugs and other
craft were sent from this town, La
Have. Bridgewater and other nearby
places.
The rescuing fleet had great diff
Guilty in lying by close to the Mount
Temple, as the seas, breaking over
the Lodges, made the position of the
smaller craft hazardous. The re-
moval of the immigrants from the
decks of the steamer to the smaller
craft was slow work, and it was
thought that it would be we'll into the
night before the last of the passen-
gers could be landed.
Another Steamer Wrecked.
Sydney, NJ S., Dec. 4. = During a
strong southeasterly gale last night a
steamer, supposed to be the Resti.
gouche of the North American Trans.
portation company of Quebec, struck
off Cranberry Head while attempting
to make a harbor here Tugs have
been sent to her assistance.
1t is thought that the steamer will
be total loss. The steamer carried
few passengers, and these, with the
crew, were still on board late last
night

the galleries of representatives of the
official society of the capital. The call
ing together for the first time OF the
mpn who have been elected to the
senate and the house, about a hundred

ular interest.

sentatives rang with the cheers of
Republicans and Democrats for their
leaders, and the speaker received as
warm a reception from the members
of the minority as he did from his
ow9 party. The appearance of Hon
& illiam Jennings Bryan on the floor
OF the house also was the occasion for
enthusiastic cheering by the Demo-
Gratis.
When the adoption of rules for the
government of the house during the
SiXtieth congress came up the rules
of the last congress were opposed by
John Sharp Williams. and he was
joined in the opposition by Democrats
and by single Republican, Mr.. Coop
er Of Wisconsin.
Old Rules Adopted.
The old rules were declared to be
too autocratic, placing too much pow
ed in the hands of the speaker, but
after a somewhat acrimonious discus.
sion they were adopted by party
vote.
Committees were appointed by both
houses to inform the president that
congress had met and was ready to
receive any message he might wish to
communicate.
New senators and representatives
were sworn in and both houses adj
journed out of respect to the memory
of members who have died during the
recess of congress.
