Explosion Wrecks Model Coal
Mine of World at Mariana,
Near Pittsburg.
DEATH ROLL MAY REACH zoo
Fifty-twO Bodies Are Recovered,
Most of Them Horribly Mutilated
and Dismembered.

PlttSburg, Dec. I. - At least l39
men lost their lives Saturday in an
explosion which wrecked the mine OF
the Pittsburg-Buffalo Coal company at
Mariana, forty miles south Of here.
then considered the model mining
town OF the world.
Fifty-two bodies were taken from
the mine yesterday, all but two of
them being horribly mutilated and a
number of them dismembered.
There is no doubt that the death
list will reach 1873 men. officials of
the company admit that 1873 men went
down the shaft to work Saturday
morning. According to miners and
others familiar with the number of
men generally employed in the mine
the death list will exceed the compa-
ny's estimate by at least fifty.
Horribly MutiIated.
Up to darkness last night twenty
five bodies had been brought to the
surface in an iron bucket. Arms, legs
Or heads were missing from some, and
the trunks Of others were burned,
bruised and cut.
Two of the men taken from the
mine yesterday had been suffocated
and their bodies were not even
scratched. One of these was John
will, a cousin of John H. Jones, presi-
dent of the Pittsburg-Buffalo Coal
company, of the mine, who
was employed as head timekeeper.
wills body was found beneath a coal
digging machine and it was apparent
that the young man had crawled there
in a vain effort to escape the deadly
fumes.
Will Not Be Cleared for Days.
The body of the other man was
plgced his face in a pool of water,
which all miners are advised to do
wen an explosions occurs, in a des-
perate attempt to fight off suffocation
until rescued.
During yesterday afternoon the cor
oner of Washington county held a
meeting to organize a jury and then
adjourned until all of the bodies have
been taken from the mine. The opin-
ion was expressed yesterday by a
number of expert miners hat the
nine will not be cleared of victims for
several days. Early yesterday a small
fire broke out in the mine, but was eX-
tinGui he'd.
Rescue Work Being Pushed.
Conditions about the mouth of the
mine were ~disagreeable yesterday. 4
drizZling rain fell and the weather
grew cold. Many relatives Of the vic
TINS stood all day close to the ropes
around the shaft, but there were few
of the narrowing scenes usually asso'
ciated with a mine explosion. Most
Of the relatives are English-speaking
people, who bear their grief in 81,
lence. 1t is estimated that one-fourth
idly as possible the work of rescue is
being carried On. At short intervals
new men are SEM into the mine to re.
lieye others searching for the dead.
Owing to the dangerous gases and the
mass of wreckage in the mine the res
cue work is slow and is being carried
on with a great deal Of precaution. Elk.

The exchange of notes is based on
the idea of encouraging and defend

end the sienatory parties have pre-
pared a series of articles expressive
of their intentions in the matter. Leg
~islative action by the senate is I'M
necessary, and the declaration or eX-

referred to that body. The declara-
ton IS not a treaty, simply a reatfir-
nation Of what both Japan and the
United States have stood for in Chi

no legal standing, but its greatest ben
fit will be that derived from the o
al effect it will exercise in the future

In this respect it has been likened to

through which the water rushed IN.

many OF whom had been awakened
from a sound sleep, were thrown from
their berths.

bed clothing and making little attempt
to dress, these rushed in a panic to
the main deck. Many of the passen-
gers jumped overheard before they
could be restrained by the crew Of the
injured steamer.
Immediately after the accident the
freighter backed off and anchored, her
commander, Capt. Clark, in the mean
time having ordered the life boats
lowered. The boats of the Finance
we're also cut away as quickly as posi-
BILE. Attention was first given to those
who had jumped overheard, and a
score or more were picked up by the
small boats. Probably half of the
passengers, with the crew, stood by

were gotten off with remarkable ex-
petition.

herself to be taken into a small boat
