 Government Force of 1000 Missing.
 The state department is in some thing of a quandary as to what has become of the small army, approximat- ing one thousand men, belonging to the government forces which at last ac- counts held possession of Greytown. This section of the army was until re- -eeIltfy commanded by General Toledo, who lately was reported as having ar rived at Manaeua. The report received yesterday from Captain Shipley of the Des Moines at Bluefields said that the defeat and surrender of the Zelayan forces at Rama disposed of practically all armed resistance to Estrada on the east coast. Whether the Greytown con- tingent had previously joined the Ze- layan forces at Rama is in doubt If not, it is assumed that another en- gagement at or near Greytown may be expected before Estrada's, army takes up its march for Managua.

EIGHT MEN KILLED
 IN MINE GAS EXPLOSION
While Four Hundred Others Had Mar
 row Escapes at Herrin, ilI.

St. Louis, Dec. 23.-Eight men were killed and four hundred others had narrow escapes in an explosion of gas in mine "A" of the Chicago and Carr tersville Coal company at Herrin, nl.. late today.
 Open lamps carried by employees are believed to have caused the disaster. There were three men and a boy fin this party, and all are dead.
 Within five minutes of the first ex- plosion the miners in the vicinity were started toward the surface and on the return trips of the cages rescuers were lowered to where the catastrophe oc- cured.
 Robert Hueston, manager, headed the first relay of rescuers. Despite the black damp which flowed into the chambers adjoining those in which Pierce and his party were killed, these men went into the workings and recov- cred bodies of three miners.
 The efforts to penetrate more deeply were repulsed by increasing banks of after damp and the rescuing party was forced to retreat leaving the bodies of Pierce and several of his compan- ions.
 Fire also began to gain headway and 1t Is not expected that the bodies can be recovered before tomorrow.
 News of the disaster spread through Herrin and there was a rush of hys- terical women and crying children to the shaft house.

 Need of Proper Clothing and Food. "The great and sudden demand for proper clothing and food for the suf- fering Is a problem for the provisional government. whose resources are ex- hausted. Their own men. numbering 5000, are well fed and clothed, but they cannot find means whereby to care for their increased burden.

FOR A GRADUATED TAX ON
 NATIONAL BANK CIRCULATION.
Preliminary Action Taken by Banking
 and Currency Commission.

Washington, Dec 23.-Preliminary action looking to the consideration of Secretary MacVeagh's recommendation for a graduated tax on national bank circulation, secured. by deposits of United States bonds, has been taken by the banking and currency commission: Chairman Vreeland has requested and Secretary MacVeagh has prepared the amendments necessary for the en- actment of the legislation in the event that the committee decides to act fa- vorably on the recommendations These contemplate. making the three per cent. bonds authorized by the Payne tariff law for the expenses of canal construc- tion payable in gold coin authorizing the appropriation incident to the issue of any bonds.
 It was the consideration of these amendments the general question of the issue of Panama bonds which con- sumed the time of the conference at the White House yesterday between President Taft, Secretary MacVeagh and Senator Aldrich. Nothing final thoritatively today in the matter of the issue of new interest bearing obli- gations of the government. There was a desire to talk over the financial sit- uation-not, however, it was explained, as affected by the business conditions of the country-and to determine just where the treasury stood at present.
 Secretary MacVeagh has at his com mand the privilege of issuing the Pan- anna canal bonds should he feel dis posed to do so and could also put out three per cent interest bearing certifi- cants to meet pressing obligations of the government. It is not now con- sidered likely that he will take the former course before congress acts on his recommendation for a graduated tax on bank circulation. Concerning the certificates, an issue is considered unlikely unless the imperative necessi- ty therefor arises.
 The Payne law prescribed that the Panama canal bonds hereafter to be issued under it's provisions should bear interest not exceeding three per cent. This leaves some leeway in determin- ing the character of new issues, the secretary having power to sell two and one-half per cents, proposition which 1t is thought might be considered with some favor if they were marketable at a satisfactory figure that would make them attractive as investments for de- posits for circulation and not form discrimination against the two per cents

CHRISTMAS MAIL NEVER so LARGE
Postcffice Employees Kept HustIine Thursday Nisht-Many Sacks De- spatched and Received.

Postmaster Caruthers states tn; If never was there such a rush at the local office two days before Christm as as there was on Thursday. It was e vii dent that 1t was coming. and Bar1y's express, with Substitute Wallace, twas at work assisting the carriers during the day.
 At o'clock in the afternoon eyery- thing had been cleaned up, but by 6.3o the office was again flooded. and every- one, including the postmaster, was busy for the rest of the evening, some work ing until midnight to get the mail un- derway. The four o'clock mail ca me in the evening, being delayed. and there were 100 sacks on that train, while on the last mail 27 more sacks we're add ed. Everyone turned in to b,eIn get these assorted, while there was also a rush to get out the mail from this of- flee, and between 180 and 2i)o sacks were despatched from Norwi ch. Mail Carrier David Cushman had to have an assistant in handling the extra quantity, and John Ring gave, efficient service
 The distributing room in fine post office was crowded to the limit every pigeon hole in the mailing table was stuffed full of mail, and mo re coming constantly. The rush has started ear Tier than usual, and it indicates that it will keep up although, inas much as it is extending over more time, it is thought there may not be such a rush at the last moment.
 The Christmas postcard is proving almost nuisance to the t,ostoffice em- ployes. There are thousflnds of them stacked up in the local office, there never having been such st flood of mail, and it seems to increast, each year.
 Not until everything was cleaned up did the employees leavf. the office on Thursday night, and lall will go out this morning that was received. They will start in today for another hard day, and the carriers will have the as- sistance of three exu ress wagons and three substitutes to iLccompany them. entire city leaving fhe small articles and letters and cards for the regular carriers, and they will have big loads on every trip for the rest of the week

LIVELY SPECULATION OVER
 MRS. HARRIMAN's WEALTH.
Report in New. York that MT. Harri- man Left Less Than S75, ,000, 0,00o

New York, Dec. 23,--Whether Mary Averill Hartman, the widow of the late F. H. Hartman, is the richest women in the world, with more than S200 COG, GOO, or only a woman of mod crate wealth, as compared with the great fortunes of the world, is a mat ter tonight of the Iiveliest debate. On apparently trustworthy authority it was said today that an appraisal made by the state cornptroller's office. upon which the inheritance tax will be de- termined, fixed the estate at $149,000,- 900, and that shortly before his death MT Hartman transferred to his wife and his eldest son, w. Averili Harri- man, securities valued at over $5U,- 900, 900.
 On the other hand, the New York Times will state positively tomorrow that MT. Hartman left less than s75,- 100000, that he made no gifts of mill lions to his family before his death, and that when all accounts are settled the net amount to be turned over to Mrs. Hartman may be nearer $50, ,900- 900 than $75,000,000.
 Mir Harriman's business associates tonight deny that he made any trans fer of securities before his death. The supposed appraisal on which an estate of $149,000, 900 was based is now under way, but, so far as can be learned, has not been completed, and certainly has not been filed with the state comptrol- Ter. No other appraisal has been made.

Mys .'0us
 Light in Heavens
MOVED UNDER CONTROL AND
 AGAINST THE WIND.
STORIES FROM MANY POINTS
Thronss Turned Out and speeuIstsd on the Inoident-Inventor Wallace E. TilIinshast Has Nothing to Say.

Boston, Dec. 23.-Following the re- port from Worcester last night of the discovery above the city of a strange moving light, apparently the search light of dirigible air craft tonight brought stories from many points of the observance of similar lights this evening from villages east of Worces- ter and even from Boston Common. People in the towns of Marlboro, South Birmingham Natick. Ashland, Grafton. North Grafton. Upton, Hopedale and North Boree turned out in throngs to- night and viewed the mysterious light In the heavens.
 Appearance of Strong sesrchIieht.
 Many declared that the light had all the appearance of strong searchlight. and while they could discover no frame work behind 1t, such as an aeroplane would have. they were positive that the light could not be that of a bal loon, as it moved as if under control. and apparently against the wind Meanwhile Wallace E. Tillinghast, the Worcester man who recently claimed to have invented a machine in which he had covered the distance between Worcester and New York and return, and who 1t was thought might have been the navigator of the supposed air craft last night remained non-com- initial today.
 Not Tillinghast's Machine.
 Boston, Dec. 23.-If the lights seen were those of an airship, MT. Filling hast was not the navigator of the craft tonight. for he remained at his home in Worcester.
 It Is estimated that fully fifty thou sand people thronged the streets of Worcester city tonight watching for the reappearance of the visitor in the skies. The passage of trolley cars was seriously impeded by the gaping crowds in the main thoroughfares. For most of the curious the watch was un- rewarded. People on the tops of build fngs told of seeing light. pass rapidly at some distance south of the city, but 1t was smaller and much less brilliant than the one seen last night.

PRINCE ALBERT CROWNED
 KING OF THE BELGIANs.
-%AeoIainpsd by Thousands Along the
 QaSly Decorated Streets.

Brussels, Dec. 23.-Prince Albert, son of the late Prince Philippe, Count of Flanders, was crowned king of the Bel gians today, assuming the title of All Tbert I. With his queen, Elizabeth, and their sons, Princes Leopold and Charles, the new king rode in state from Laeken to the parliament, ac- claimed by thousands along the gaily decorated streets. The oath of office was administered before joint session of the houses of parliament. and the feeble attempt of the socialists to- sound a discordaut note was drowned by the cheering of the kings loys supporters.
 In his speech from the throne King Albert said:
 T. pledge myself to do my duty scrupulously and to concentrate all my strength and devote my whole life to the service of the fatherland.'
 Tonight the city is alive with lights and merTymal1ing, strangely contraibt- ing with the depression and signs of mourning which prevailed immedis fe- ly following the death of Leopold. But the explanation Is to be found in the personal popularity of King Albert and his queen and the high position They hold in the esteem of the nations.

Havana, Dec. 23.-The extraordinary Christmas drawing of the national lot- tery, from which the government ex- pected to derive a profit of ss0o, 900, proved a failure. The drawing took place today. Only 1s,00o of the s0.ooO tickets were sold. The capital prize was won by a club of eighteen brick layers and masons who are employed on a building now under construction in Havana. The drawing probably will show considerable deficit on the gsv- ernment side.

Among Membership of the National Geographic
 Society which PasBed Peary
THE ADMIRAL'S PROPOSAL IS ABSURD"
Declares Rear Admiral Chester who Gives Reasons why ScRley's Demand Should be Nothing Can be Gained by Submitting Pealrys Data the Unvers- ity of Copenhagen" Says Ano her Member-No Trace of Cook Found-Eeieved to Be in Europe.

Washington, Dec. 23.-Rear Admiral Schley's demand that Commander Peary submit his polar data to the consistory of the university of Copen- hagen for veriflcation following that body's repudiation of Dr. Cook, has raised a storm among the membership of the National Geographical society, which gave Peary a clean bill of health.
 Findings Don't Need verifeation.
 The leading members claim that the scientists of the United States will be demeaning themselves if they &C., knowledged that their findings needed yerihcation. There seems to be no dis position to withhold from the Copen- hagen board the data filed by Peary, but there is a well-defined opposition against turning it over to the Danish scientists for official action.
 sehIey's Argument Rather Gratuitous. The argument advanced by Admiral Schley that such examination would remove all questions of doubt from the claim of Peary, is accepted as rather gratuitous. The records of Peary have been found unimpeachable by American scientists and, therefore. the question is not whether Peary
 
 are wrong.
 Nothin- to Be Gained from copen-
 hagen.
 Nothing can be gained from sub hitting Commander Peary's data to the university of Copenhagen" said Professor. Gannett. who was chairman of the committee that passed upon Peary's proofs. And I don't see any reason why he should. The committee which passed upon his papers is fully qualified to arrive at an unbiased con- clusion notwithstanding that almost every member is acquainted with Com mander Peary. need not say that the Investigations were carried on along scientific lines, without regard to the personality or the standing of either claimant
 "A Mares Nest" Says Rear Admiral

COMPLICATIONS MAY ARISE
Over the Presenee of Anarican Captain
 in Nicaraguan Insurgent Army.

Austin, Tex, Dec. 23.-Associated Press despatches announcing that Cap- tain Godfrey Fowler is leading the in- surgent forces in Nicaragua caused great surprise in the adjutant generals department here, due to the fact that Captain Fowler Is not only a member of the Texas National Guard, but a member of the governors staff. and under the law all such officers have to obtain permission to leave this coun- try to join in any kind of revolution ary movement in another country. This permission has not been secured and the department has started an investt- gation. It is thought possible that complications may arise, and an effort will be made to recall Fowler.
 Fowler is a grandson of the late Judge John H. Reagan, who was post master general in the Jefferson Davis cabinet during the civil war;
