New York. Dec. 7.-If Charles A Comls-

persists in his opposition to President
Ban Johnson at the meeting Of the Amer
lean League in the Windy City next
week, the chances are that he will find
himself in the minority.
1t was stated in Chicago the other day
thai Comiskey had enlisted the support
Of John l. Taylor. of the Boston Amer
leans. and that Taylor was particularly
sore on Johnson because Boston did not
obtain Jake StahL
But Taylor has knocked the yarn In
the head with positive statement to the
effect that he has never been opposed to
the leagues president. and that he will
stand by him to the end in case OF a
real fight at the coming meeting. This
leaves Chicago and Cleveland in a sup
posed anti-Johnson combination.

Real Maroccana.

Moor and Morocco are words un-
known to the people OF that troubled
land. These people know themselves
as Arabs and descendants of those
valiant upholders Of the prophets
green standard who swept like flood
across North Africa at the time OF
the hegira. The Morocco of the pres
ent day they found possessed by a
sturdy race who claimed descent from
the people who were cast out of Ca
naaan by Joshua, the son OF Nun.
Their country, so far as its plains
were concerned, was taken from them
by the Arabs, and their fighting
strength was made to serve the Arab
cause in the conquest of Spain. They
themselves gradually took to the
mountains, to the great Atlas. Here
they have remained ever since, speak
ing their own language. maintaining
their own customs and racial attri-
butes, and obstinately refusing to be
absorbed by the Arab dwellers on the
plains These people are the Berbers;
their tongue is called Shilhah. Liter
ature they have none, in the ordinary
sense of the word But they have a
rich store of oral tradition, myth, le
gend and folklore.

Tinetan PRINTING.

Great printing works are estab-
lished at Nartang, in Tibet. A CORE
spondent says: There are thousands
and thousands of blocks at Nartang,
comprising matter in type equivalent
to numerous different volumes. Each
wooden block is about "a inches long
by IL inches wide, one face having
carved upon it a complete page OF
lettering. The method of printing IS
primitive in the extreme and consists
of laying the paper on fat surface
and levering the block upon it with a
long handle much as the village black
smith works his bellows"

SOAPS that Arc guaranteed.

So much skin trouble results from
the use of impure adulterated toilet
soaps, that the proprietors of
Buchan's Toilet Soaps have filed a
guarantee with the U S. Government
guaranteeing the absolute purity of
their soaps, and they are the only
ones so guaranteed. There are three
brands: Antiseptic Soap, Tar Soap,
and Sulphur Soap; not only cleanses
but soothes and protects the skin
against disease. If your dealer does
not keep them send Is cents with his
name and address to Buchan's Soap
Corporation, New York, and they will
send you a full-size cake.

To invigorats the digestion and
stimulate the torpid liver and bowels
there is nothing so good as that old
family remedy, Brandreth Pills, which
has been in use for over a century
They cleanse the blood and impart new
vigor to the body. One or two every
night for a week will usually be all
that is required. For Constipation or
Dyspepsia, one or two taken every
night will afford great relief.

FIRE DAMP EXPLOSION IN PRus-
SIAN MINE.
WORK OF RESCUE is VERY SLOW
Injured FrishtfuIly MangIed Hurled
Against Walls = Many Are En-
tonbed Amid Poisonous Gases -
No Chance to Survive.

Saarbrueck, Rhenish Prussia, Jan.
2s.-A fire damp explosion occurred
this morning in the Reden coal mine
at st. Johann-on-Saar, opposite Saar-
breuck, and caused the loss of from
$50 to 200 lives. The mine is own
ed by the Prussian government.
Up to 6 o'clock this evening n
bodies had been brought out and sc
corpses were known to be under
ground. Only so men have been
brought out and of these the doc
tors say at least So VIII die, as they
are frightfully injured through hav-
ing been hurled against the. walls of
the gallaries by the force of the ex-
| plosion.
An official report given out this
evening says the number of dead
cannot exceed 160.
| Rescuers We're hurried from all the
adjacent mines and boldly entered
the Reden shaft il great numbers.
The work of rescue has been
greatly hampered by the poisonous
gases resulting from the explosion
afterward. This caused efforts at
rescue to be suspended and the
| workers had to be ordered out of the
mine
After all the rescuers had reached
daylight, according to another yer
sion, a second terrific detOnation
was heard under ground. But ac
cording to another report many OF
the rescuers We're still below when
the second explosion occurred and il
is estimated that the casualty list
from two explosions will reach to
tai of 500 men. 1t is regarded as
certain that the lowest levels of the
mines are completely wrecked and
the inspectors are deliberating upon
further measures to get control OF
the fire. The managers are discuss
ing the advisability of flooding these
levels as the only means of eX
tinguishing the flames. 1t is believ
ed that all the men who were in the
levels assuredly are dead. It viii
take a full week to enter and ex
plore the mine.
A fire damp explosion occurred
about o'clock this morning in tn,
BiltOck shaft fthe Reden mine, a;
Saint JOhann-On-Saar. opposite this
town. Up to 2 o'clock this Afternoon
the bodies of 164 miners had beer
taken out of the mine, II men dan
gerously injured had been rescued
and more than hundred miners
were missing. There were about COT
men working III the shaft when thu
explosion occurred but half of then
were not in the galleries which Were
wrecked. The rescue corps is work
ing desperately in efforts to reacl
the entombed men and it is hopet
that some OF them will be founC
alive.
The scenes at the pit mouth, wher,
the families of the miners gathered
were most distressing. The Redel
mine is owned by the Prussian gov
ernment.
A special dispatch to the Tage
blatt from Saarbrueck says tha
fire has broken out in the Redel
shaft and that it will be impossibl,
to continue the rescue work. Sever
al hundred men. according to thi
telegram, are endangered.
The disaster occurred $500 fee
under ground and is one and guar
ter miles from the floor of the shaft
II is the greatest mining disaste
ever known in the Saar region.
