MINE EXPLOSION
Is FOLLOWED BY
TERRIBLE FIRES

Fairmont, w Va, Dec. 6.--An ex-
plosion occurred in the mine of the
Fairmont Coal company at Monon-
gah, six miles from here today, at
11:30. 1t was said 700 men were
working when the explosion occurred
and that many miners were killed.
The explosion was heard for miles.
At l O'Clock officials revised their
figures to 800 at work. They do not
believe any have escaped death or
serious injury. Eight bodies are re-
covered, but the mine is now on fire
and smoke is driving rescuers out.
The cause OF the accident Is un-
known. Manager. Malone said It was
the worst accident in mining history.
The bodies taken out were badly
mutilated and burned so that they
are undergraduate.

THE JAP SITUATION

Toxic, Dec. 6.-The Hochi stated
today that the government had
recalled Aoki for pledging Japan to
restrictive legislation as to emigra-
ton to the United States But this
statement is discounted on account
of the Hochfs well known connec-
ton with the emigration companies.
New York, Dec. 6.-Baron Taxa
hira was minister in Washington, to
which post he was appointed in 1900
at the time Aoki was minister OF
foreign affairs. He was born in
1884, and has been connected with
the foreign office since 1876, when
he was translator. From 1879 until
1884 he was secretary of legation at
Washington. In 1891 he was consul
general at New York.
Tawahira played an important
part in the negotiations at Ports
mouth. He himself served as one of
the japanese plenipotentiaries at
the conference, and did much to
bring the peace negotiations to a
successful issue.
