Minnesota supplied the two features

sion Of the rivers and harbors con-
gress-notable speeches BY Gov. John
A. johnson and by James ]. Hill, chair.
man of the board of directors Of the
Great Northern railroad. Addresses
also were delivered to the congress by
other governors Of states and by men
prominently identified with the politi.-
cal and commercial life OF the nation.
The convention will conclude its
work to-day with the adoption Of a &c.
ries Of resolutions Incorporating its
idea that q comprehensive national
scheme for the improvement of the
international waterways of the coun-
try should be crystallized into law.
Johnson's Address Pteases.
Gov. johnson delivered one of the
most scholarly addresses Of the con-
gress. He pointed out that the traffic
of this country already had overbur.
dened' the railroads aud that the only
relic twas through the medium of wa
ter transportation. The development
of American waterways would solve
the problem.
Gov. Johnson dwelt particularly
upon the development Of the transpor.
tation facilities of the Great Lakes,
and quoted statistics showing how
that development had been Of incalcu-
liable benefit to the great states of the
Northwest. No expenditure of money
ever made by the national govern.
ment, he declared, had paid SO great
returns as that expended on the de.
velopment of the Great Lakes.
Country Must Be Developed.
"The country must be developed"
said he, "along the lines of the great
internal waterways, because the rail.
roads admittedly have reached the
limits of their abilities in the trans
portation of the traffic offered, unless
there should be further expenditure
on the railroads of the country of
more than $5,000,000,O0O, which is
manifestly out of the question"
Gov. Johnson urged that all projects.
for the improvement of the internal
waterways should rest ION principles
as broad as the nation ITSELF"
Hill Makes Speech.
j. ]. Hill created great enthusiasm
among the $500 delegates by declaring
that the railroads Of the country
would support cordially any plan for
the development of the legitimater
waterways of the United States.
He made most important and sig.
nificant statement of the attitude of
the railroad men toward legislation
which has been directed against rail
carriers in American and declared
that that all the railroads asked was
permission to conduct their business
In proper way under fair regulations

less than 400 miners were killed by an
explosion Of black damp, known to
scientists as methane. in mines Nos.
6 and 8 of the Consolidation Coal COM
peny of Baltimore at this place yester'
day is now conceded by those who
take the most hopeful and most con-
sentative view of the disaster.
Many Bodies Found.
OF these victims six dead bodies
had been taken from Mine No. 6 at
midnight last night and 6 others
were piled up in the entry awaiting
completion Of facilities for bringing
them to the surface. From Mine No.
s at the same hour fourteen bodies
had been removed and a number of
others are ready to be brought out as
soon az arrangements can be com.
pleted.
Five rescuing parties, with ten men
to each party, are working at different
parts of the two mines.
400 Lives Lost.
Clarence w. Watson of Baltimore,
president of the Consolidation Coal
company, after comforting with the
mine superintendent and other local
representatives Of the company, said
there was no doubt but that 400 lives
had been lost.
while nothing definite is known at
this time," said President Watson, ito
Judge from the small volume of smoke
1t is evident that the diaster was
caused by the explosion of dust, which
was probably ignited by a pocket Of
gas or a blowout shot,"
Explosion Was Terrific.
The explosion occurred shortly after
10 o'clock yesterday, after the force of
over 400 men had gone to work in the
two mines affected. These mines are
located on opposite sides of the West
Fork river at this place. but merged
in their undergrounds workings by
heading and on the surface by big
steel tipple and bridge.
Evidence of the awful force of the
explosion is shown in every section
Of the mines that has been reached
by the rescuers. Huge quantities Of
coal and rock have beeen loosened
and. hurled into every opening and
all Of the underground structure is
completely wrecked.
Work Until Exhausted.
The American miners of the town
were placed in charge of the relief
work and the Italians and other for
eigners are working under them most
faithfully. The rescue forces are di.
vided to work in relays with frequent
reliefs. Many relief parties have al
the surface.
The scenes about the entry to the
mines and about the town are pathetic
and heartrending.
Overwhelmed With Grief.
Wives and mothers and sweethearts,
together with children and members
of the stronger sex move from place
to place, vainly seeking information
and making no attempt to conceal the
grief that overwhelms them. None
is encouraged to hope that any one in
the mine has survived the explosion
and the suffocating gas that immedi-
ately thereafter filed the mine.
