TREATY AMOUNTS
PRACTICALLY TO AN ALLIANCE

WASHINGTON, Nov. 28.-Cordial
support of and sympathy in the end
sought to be obtained by Japan and
the United States in the agreement
respecting China and the Pacific, as
outlined in the Associated Press dis
patches printed today, has been given
by some and, 1t Is believed will be
given by all the nations Of Europe hav-
ing interests in that section OF the
world. Its influence in maintaining
the statu quo in the Pacific and the
independence Of China is pointed out
to be great enough to make the agree
ment second to few recorded in recent
pages of the worlds history.
The retlcence of the state depart
ment on the subject permitted COM
parativefy little to become public con-
corning the. negotiations, and this lit
tie was confined to the announcement
that there would be a re-statement Of
the positions Of both countries regard
ing China, designed, 1t is said, to clear
up any misapprehension that might
exist.

The royalist and anti-Dreyfus or
gans are demanding an official inves-
tigation into the death Of M. Faure
and intimate openly that M. Faure,
as the inseparable obstacle to the
leaders of the Dreyfus agitation, was
murdered as the outcome Of a plot.
They have put forward the allegation
that NJ. Faure intended to yield to the
petitions and sign an order for the re-
vision of the case and that conse-
quently he was poisoned.
The only reason to believe that M.
Faure did not die q natural death is
found in the fact that his body de-
composed with great rapidly and to

of the best known persons in Paris

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. 28.-With
the words "Hello, Ralph" as his salu-
%tation, j. A. Finch this afternoon
walked into the private Office Of Ralph
B. Fisher, chairman of the grievance
committee Of the Oregon State Bar
association and giving his victim lit
tie time to partly turn his head, shot
Fisher dead.
Finch was suspended recently from
%practicing law for having appeared in
court in an intoxicated condition and
for having forged the name and nota-
rial seal OF his law partner to an
affidavit. Fisher, as chairman of the
grievance committee, had ~prosecuted
Finch.
Finch, it appears. had been seeking
to be allowed to practice so long as he
committed no unp~rofessional act. He
had sought Fishers signature to his
petition and the prosecutor had re-
fused to sign the document.

PITTSBURG, Nov. 28.-More than
N hundred men were killed by an
explosion in the Mariana mines Of
the Pittsburg-Buffalo Coal company
yesterday which entombed a large
number OF miners.
At / o'clock this morning the res
;cuing party had recovered "a bodies.
and brought them from the bottom
Of the shaft preparatory to removing
them to the surface. All the victims
were found in the main entry, the de-
bris in the workings making it i'm.
possible to explore there.
The officials Of the company assert
that the number Of men entombed will
not exceed 1875, while those about the
scene say q larger number was in the
mine when the explosion occurred.
Shortly before midnight Peter Arm
old, an American miner, was brought
to the surface from the Rachel shaft,
suffering only q little from his terrible
experience. Joseph Kearny, one of the
rescuing party, reported that there
were other men alive below and the
rescuers were Immediately set to
work clearing away the debris.
From the condition of the workings
where Arnold was discovered Deputy
State Mine Inspector Henry Loutiett
believes the twenty other men may be
saved.
About so of the victims, it is re.
ported about the mine, we're either
Americans or English speaking men.
A majority Of the foreigners we're
comparatively new arrivals in this
country, many Of them having left
families in their old homes.
The powder house Of the mine has
been converted into a temporary
morgue. Coffins have been ordered
from this city, Monongahela and
Washington, Pa. Steps have already
been taken for the relief of the de-
pendents of the victims. Subscrip-
lions have been opened by charitable
societies and the newspapers. No au-
thoritatiye estimate Of the property
loss has been made up to this time,
but 1t will be heavy.
Account Of the Catastrophe.
The workings in which today's
catastrophe happened are known as
the Rachel and Agnes mine, in
reality a double mine, with under
ground connections. Construction
work was practically finished and Dep
uty State Mine Inspector Henry Love-
lit, a few minutes before the explo-
sion, had completed a two days in
.spection which had revealed no cause
for apprehension. He and General
Manager Kerr of the company, came
to the surface a few minutes before
IL o'clock.

OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT THAT
c. & s. WILL COME NORTH.
SURVEY HAS BEEN MADE
When II Reaches This Point, Il viii,
with the Great Northern, Make a.
cross-country Line from Edmonton,
Canada, to the Gull.

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Nov. %.
General d. G. Dodge said today that
the Colorado & Southern, of which
road he is chairman of the board Of
directors, would, as 500 as financial
conditions permitted, close the gap
of is to 20 miles in it's line south Of
Cheyenne, WyO., and extend it's line
north Of Cheyenne which now reaches
Orange, Wyo, some $50 miles further
to a point on the Yellowstone river,
where it would connect with the st.
Paul and Hill lines. This connection
will give a continuous line from Gal
weston Texas, to Edmonton, Canada.
The proposal of the Colorado and
Southern railroad to extend its line
from the Wyoming terminus to Bill
ings, was announced some time ago
in The Gazette, when a party Of sur
veyors in the employ of the Southern
completed a preliminary survey for
the line from Sheridan into Billings.
The line al proposed will go from
Orrin to Sheridan, through a new ter
ritory, come to Billings over a virgin
portion Of the reservation and the
coded strip and here connect with the
Northern Pacific, Great Northern and
the Milwaukee branch.
The Colorado and Southern will
here meet the Great Northern, which
has the only connection across the
line to Edmonton.
This would divert through Billings
the great cotton shipments from the
south to the Orient and would carry
back through here the timber and
grain Of the north.

VOTES ON THE RECOUNT.
HEARING IS ON
Evidence Presented by Mr.. carwiie

MIR. Jones' Side Is Vet to BE Pre-

Lorin T. Jones and Nat G. Carwile
were tied for the office OF clerk Of the
district court, when Judge Stewart
ceased counting ballots last night and
adjourned court until Monday morn
ing.
Good progress was made in counting
the ballots in the contest and pre-
cincts 2, 8, 4, 6, II, IS and IA were
recounted. In the process Mr.. Car
vile, the Democratic candidate for
the office gained eleven votes, which
gave him a majority Of n on the
face of the count, but by accident the
ballots in the second ward were re-
counted and showed a gain of one for
Mr.. Jones and the count will be Of
fered in evidence by the attorney for
Mr.. Jones Monday, SO that the. two
men are really tied for the position.
Judge Stewart has ruled out a num-
Der Of ballots, refusing to count them
as he did not think the intention Of
the voter could be determined. These
ballots were laid aside and argued by
the attorneys, and will be kept sep
arate and marked for exhibits, if the
contest is appealed to the supreme
court.
Judge Stewart is counting the bal
lots himself. Each is scanned by Har-
~ Wilson, attorney for Mr.. zones,
and by w. M. Johnston, attorney for
Mr.. Carwile. The ballots are brought
into court by Deputy County Clerk
Bacon and disputed ones are taken in
charge by the clerk of the court. G.
L. Harris and C.. s. Prater are the
%tellers.
So far, only the evidence of the con
testant has been offered and only
precincts in which he expected to
make gains have been counted. Other
precincts will be counted when Mr..
