A Curious Anomaly.

Until few years ago the Philippine
Islanders held their Sunday on the day
which was Monday to the inhabitants
OF TIE neighboring island OF Borneo.
This curious anomaly arose from the
Historic fact that the Philippines were

lnS from the east round Cape Horn.

tuguese coming from tho west. and sail

NJ CHANCE FOR
 ENTOMBED MINERS Forty-seven Men Are Now Be-
 Iieved to Be Dead ONE BODY IS RECOVERED
Two Thousand People Have Stood Around the Mine Entrance All Day Long But Relief
 Is Fruitless.

Pittsburg, December 2.-The fate of iiVe American and 42 foreign miners, while not definitely known, was pretty well estap- iished late today by the finding or lhe body of mine bumper near the twenty second entry of the Naomi mine of the United Coal company, at Fayette Clty, s miles from this city. The man hau died from suffocation.
 Judging from the two fatalities thus 'ar known, both having been caused by pols- onous gases, it is almost certain that the 47 miners still entombed in the mine nave succumbed to the deadly after-damp.
 There is also 8 possibility that the eA- ploson of last night occurred so close to the men that they were Killed by US force or the resultant fall of tons of rock and earth.
 Since shortly after 8 o'clock last night A large force of rescuers have labored almost constantly in an effort to reach the imprisoned men. The work has been nec- essarily slow on account of the Wreckage and the after-damp. A score or more or the rescuers have been compelled to go to their homes suffering from the polson- ous gas. Two of the men are ill critical condition.
 All day long a crowd, which is esti- mated at 2000, has stood around the mouth of the mine awaiting some news from the entombed men. Hundreds of these per sons are relatives or friends of the unfor- tunate miners.
 Some of the rescuers believe tho end of their search will come late tonight, while others do not look for this until tomor- row. In the meantime it is the opinion of all that the men are dead.
