nent in WRITING.

Toxic, Dec. 21.-Negotiations be-
tween Canadian Minister of Labor Ru-
dolph Lemieux and the Japanese gov
ernment, which have been delayed by
a hitch over details, will be concluded
within the next few days. 1t is un-
derstood that Minister Lemieux has
finally agreed to accept Japan's assur-
ance that she will undertake the self
imposed task of limiting emigration
to Canada The exact method of lin,
itation will be left entirely in the
hands of the Japanese government.
1t is stated that the hitch arose over
the desire of the Canadian govern
ment to secure a definite promise in
writing outlining the undertakings.
This was positively declined by Japan
because it would entail sacrifice of
treaty rights Minister Lemieux also
desired to secure from the Japanese
government note giving the exact
number of laborers that the govern
ment proposed to allow to emigrate to
Canada This. was also refused.

GIVE EVIDENCE IN CHAMBERS
Number of Witnesses Testify in Har-
den Trial at Berlin.

Berlin, Dec. 21-Prince Philip zu
Eulenburg, Frau Won Elbe, the di-
yorced wife of General Count Kuno
Won Moltke, and Frau Won Heyden,
mother of Frau Won Elbe, testified in
chambers at the hearing of the Har-
den-von Moltke libel suit, the court
having decided that the interests of
public morality required the exclusion
of all persons not Immediately con-
nected with the court
The only witness heard openly was
Colonel Otto Won Moltke, a cousin of
Count Kune Won Moltke. Colonel Won
Moltke is studious looking man of
sixty. He spoke with much emotion
of his twenty-five years friendship
with the co-plaintiff. They had COM
manded squadrons of the same life
guards regiment at Breslau. After he
left the army the colonel was often
the guest Of Count Kuno in Berlin.
ETe believed, he said, that he knew
him better than any one else. He was
always popular with his officers and
men. His cousin, the colonel contin-
ued, was man who exerted an ele-
waiting influence upon those he met
rather than a lowering one. The colo
mel had observed Count Kunos friend
ship with Prince Philip zu Eulenburg
on the occasion of the various visits
both of them had made to the prince
at his castle at Liebenberg, but he
never gained the impression that the
relations between the two men were
other than what was to be expected in
an ordinary friendship. To these
statements the colonel took oath.

SCENE OF WILD GAROUSlNG
Foreign Workmen Who Were Observ-

ebrate the Event by Excessive
Drinking and Riotina.

Jacobs Creek, Pa, Dec. 21.-But six
Darr mine, the scene of Thursdays
explosion. Many more had been To-
Gated and as the work of the rescuers
is progressing we'll, with the fans
working and no fire in the mine, it is
thought the recovery of all the bodies
is merely a matter of hours. Some
of the bodies are dismembered and
mangled and all are distorted by the
agonies of violent death and disfg-
ured and begrimed by the concussion
and the smoke and dust of the explo-
sion.
The exact number of men entombed
when the explosion occurred is still
uncertain, but there is no reason to
change the earlier estimates of at
least 200. No other explanation than
that the explosion was due to gas has
been advanced.
Faint though it is hope is cherished
by rescuers and grieving friends and
relatives that some of the men may
have surviv' the explosion and are
awaiting release far back in the mine.
For this reason the rescuers did not
take time to bring out the bodies as
they were found but continually
pressed forward, their only aim be-
ing to as quickly as possible open a
passage to and explore every section
of the mine.
Foreigners Celebrate Escape.
The foreign miners who escaped the
disaster made night hideous in the
little village. They had suspended
work because of the holiday and most
of them followed their usual holiday
custom of drinking to excess. Many
were intoxicated before the catas.
trophe and afterwards they put them.
selves in worse condition, some drink
ing in celebration of their escape and
others drinking to drown grief over
the death of relatives or friends All
night long there was carousing and
disorder, at times bordering closely
upon rioting.
The Pittsburg Coal company has ar
ranged to provide a Christian burial
for all of the victims and will bear all
expenses connected with the funerals
1t is believed that a majority Of the
victims are Americans.
The rescuers report the interior Of
the mine badly damaged. As they ad-
vance they are compelled to rebuild
much of the bracing that was blown
out and a great deal of bratticing is
necessary to make possible the ven
tilation of the remote sections. There
is q shortage of many OF the supplies
needed for such conditions and the
work of rescue will of necessity pro
gress slowly. The distance from the
mouth of the mine to the most re-
mote sections is said to be about
three miles and it is thought that
many of the bodies will be found near
the end of the workings.
