THE NATIONS
 RAT|FY T. Agreement Between United
 States and Japan EASTERN QUESTION PASSES
The Understanding is Under stood to Have the Effect of Putting the Fate of China Into the Hands of the Signatories.

Washington, Nov. 2S.-Cordial sup port and sympathy. the ends sought to be obtained by Japan and the United States in the agreement regarding China and the Pacific as outlined in the Associated Press dispatches print ed today, have been given by some and it is believed will be given by all the nations in Europe having interests in that section.
 The reticence of the state depart Iient on the subject permitted com paratively little to become public con corning the negotiations and this little was confined to the announcement that there would be another statement of the positions of both countries re- garding China, designed, it is said, to clear up any misapprehension that exist. That the negotiation progress to the point of an actual signature of the agreement. thus indicating a tacit acquiescence in the course by other nations having large interests in the far east, marks, so diplomatic officials assert. a decided step in the solution of the eastern question.
 The Japanese school question in San Francisco which for a time. in the minds of some persons threatened a rupture of the friendly relations of the two countries was settled amicably Later there was copyright and trade mark convention; an arbitration treaty; a prompt answer to the invi- tation by Japan to participate in the Tokio exposition and last he visit of the battleship fleet, rapid succession of events which in the minds of state department officials but tended to strengthen the good feeling between the two nations. now vitalized by what some think amounts virtually to an alliance.

THE DEATH LIST
 EXCEEDS 4 HUNDRED
The Removal or the Victims From the Marianna Mines.

Pittsburg, Nov. 29.-More than 100 men were killed by an explosion in the Marianna mines of the Pittsburg- Buff falo coal company yesterday which en- tombed a large number of miners
 At 1 o'clock this morning a rescue ing party recovered thirty-four bodies and brought them to the bottom of the shaft preparatory to removing them to the surface. All victims were found in the main entrance, the debris in the workings making it impossible to ex- plOre there. An official of the con- pany asserts that the number of men entombed will not exceed 125. while others about the scene say a larger number were in the mine when the ex- plOsion occurred.
 Shortly before midnight, Peter Arm old, an American miner, was brought to the surface from the Rachel shaft. suffering only lightly from his terrible experience. Jos Kerney, one of the rescuing party, reported that there were other men alive below and rescu- CTS were immediately set at work clear ing away the debris. From the cOndi- ton of the workings where Arnold was discovered, Deputy State Mine Inspect or Henry Louttit believes twenty other men may be saved.
 About fifty of the victims were either Americans or English speaking men. A majority of the foreigners were com paratively new arrivals, many of them having left their families in their old homes. The power house has been converted into a temporary morgue.
 Steps have already been taken for relief for the dependents of the victims. Subscription lists have been opened by charitable organizations and news papers and arrangements made for collections in the churches tomorrow. No authoritative estimate of the loss be heavy.

in consequence they both played a kicking game.
 There was more bunting in today's game than has been seen on Frank lin field this season. As was the case in the big college games of last year, the contest brought out little that was new. Two forward passes and two on-side kicks were the only so-called modern plays attempted and these were only forwarded and passed by the navy.
 The day was ideal for football and a brilliant crowd was out to see the game. On the Army side, Secretary of War Wright entertained a large party while directly opposite. on the Navy side, Acting Secretary of the Navy Newberry had a large number of guests.
 Prominent in Secretary Wright's box were Representative and Mrs. Longworth. Assistant Secretary Of War Oliver was there with a party in the box adjoining Secretary Wright.
 Miss Ethel Roosevelt cast her for tunes with the Navy and had seat in the enclosure reserved for MT. Newberry and wife. Among others in this box were Mrs. Metcalf. wife of the retiring secretary of the navy and a number of friends. To their right was the box of Admiral Dewey. All the scoring was done in the early part of the first half.

 SENSATION Scandal Widening In Scope, Deepening In Interest .DREYFUSISM DRAGGED IN
Investigation of Circumstan- ces of Death of Faure De-
 manded-.C .nerally Agreed
 the Woman Procured Mur- Xders Husband and Mother.

Paris. Nov. 2S-The Steinheil case | continued to be the sensation of the | hour in all France. No one ventures | to say where the revelations will end. ! The political side looms larger and | larger every day. and the interest | harks back always to the tragic death in Paris in 1899 of Felix Faure pres
 ident of France. NJ. Faure died in the midst of the Dreyfus excitement. i The most minute details of the. scene in the room where he expired in the company of Mme Steinheil are to- day flagrantly published by even the republican newspapers. Up to the present time this incident in the ca reer of Mime. Steinheil has only been referred to covertly.
 The royalist and anti-Dreyfus or gans are demanding an official in- vestigation into the death of M. Faure and intimate openly that M. Faure. as the insuperable obstacle to the leaders of the Dreyfus agitation, was murdered as the outcome of a plot. They have put forward the old ale gation that NJ. Faure intended to yield to the petitions of the anti Dreyfusards and sign an order for the revision of the case, and that conse- quently he was poisoned.
 The only reason to believe that NJ. Faure did not die a natural death is found in the fact that his body de- composed with unusual rapidity and to offset this there are statements of seven of the best known physicians of Paris who certified that he died of cerebral hemorrhage
 The other story that Mime. Steinheil was presenr when he passed away seems to be true, and great regret is expressed that circumstances have now compelled the disclosure to the world of this old scandal which the Faure family and the friends of the former president thought was buried with his body.
 letter containing evidence of M Paure's relations with Mime. Steinheil was surrendered after his death, but the idea that those communications contained compromising statements was rejected by all who were behind the scenes at the time.
 With regard to the crimes them selves, Mme. Steinheirs husband and her mother, Mime. Japy, were found murdered in the Steinheil house in Paris on May 31 of this year and at the same time Mime. Steinheil was discovered bound and gagged. The net is drawing closer and closer around the wife.
 Scores of romantic affairs with per sons of note in political and artistic circles are coming to light and they prove what a remarkable woman she was She is now called "the charmer of men," Her salon was dazzlingly brilliant.
 Her last lover, in whose eyes she declared she wanted to justify herself, has now been discovered, and his identity furnishes a clue to the motive for crime. He is a rich WidOwer and resides in a famous chateau near Me siers, in the department of Ardennes. He is not complicated in the crime. When seen by a journalist this man,

who is the father of three children, protested frant.cally at the disgrace
 the exposure would bring. He said
 he was ready to commit suicide, but nevertheless he made a clean breast of his relations with Mime. Steinheil.
 He described how he had met her at the Steinheirs. The gathering was distinguished one. He soon got into the habit of meeting her at the Green Lodge" a villa at Bellevue, which Mime. Steinheil rented under the name of Mime. Provost. Mariette Wolff, the cook, whose son was accused by Mme. Steinheil of being guilty of the mur- ders, lived at the lodge and was her mistress confidant. This was early last year.
 For a month it was an exquisite idyll," said this man in describing the episode. Mime. Steinheil said she adored me and at each meeting she made new .avowals and swore I was the only lover she ever had
 ''She told me of her past" the wid- over continued. "and denied the gos- sip of her relations with other men. She insisted particularly that the Faure story was a legend, and said she could prove that she was home i'll at the time of Faure's death.
 NShe admitted however that she hated her husband and said he led an infamous existence She detested her mother also for having forced her to marry Steinheil. She assured me she would get a divprce and marry me"
 Continuing his explanation the man related how the scales gradually fell from his eyes. When the spell was broken he returned home Mme Stein hell, however, continued to pursue him and telephoned him every day. On the morning of the crime she called him up by long distance tele- phone but the wire was not working well and he could hardly hear what she said. Finally she exclaimed: 'J am satisfied, for I have heard your voice; that is enough for me"
 The next day when he learned of the murders. he suspected the truth and came to Paris. He saw Mime. Steinheil and told her never to see him again until she had cleared her self.
 The prevailing belief in Paris today is that Mme. Steinheil deliberately had her husband and mother assassi- mated.
 Police developments on the political side of the case can be best likened to a powder magazine and the anti are moving heaven and earth to explode it, absolutely re- gardless of the national scandal that may result M. Berry, conservative. gave notice in the chamber of depu- ties this afternoon that he intended to present an interpolation on the matter.
 Sensational afternoon papers are filled with the widest rumors and the most minute articles concerning the death of NJ. Faure. It has been predicted already that Mime. Steinheil would be declared crazy and locked up in an asylum and m this manner all further proceedings would be 5tifled. As matter of fact experts agree that she is today a nervous wreck even if she were responsible 1t the time of the crime.
 Several newspapers pretend to know he name of the assailant of Steinheil and Mime. Japy, as well as that of he accomplice. Late this afternoon ! he widower who admitted that he 1 vas the last lover of Mime. Steinheil, |

THE RECEPTION AT BERLIN.

Berlin, Nov. 2S.-The report of an understanding between the United States and Japan, guaranteeing the integrity of China and providing for the maintenance of the status quo in the Pacific did not come as a surprise in officials circles at Berlin, but other wise no one has been led to suspect the existence of any such understanding. Officially the declaration was greeted with the greatest satisfaction as likely to dispose of all reason for conflict in the Pacific.
