THE DEATH TRAP SEALED
A Fire Made Necessary Its Closing This Morning, Probably Not to Be Re Opened For Weeks Messages From Dying.

Cherry. Nov. e4.-After more than l50 bodies had been discovered in the St. Paul mine early today, ef- forts 10 carry them to the surface were abandoned temporarily, while a battle was begun to check the fire that again threatened the main shaft II the efforts to control the fire are not successful early tomorrow. prob ably the mine again will be sealed and will remain so for weeks. if not for months.
 The rescuing party found fans that the imprisoned men had made from tool boxes and messages written on pieces of slate There remain twenty-one miners unaccounted for. The bodies found this morning were in a tangled mass that completely blocked the stair case leading from the third to the second vein. and were also scattered along the vein where they dropped before reaching the stairway. Black damp was the causc of death. All means of es- cape had been blocked by debris falling, covering the top of the stair case. The men died as they tried to push through the obstruc- tions. or were waiting vainly for the rescuers
 Death evidently did not come for many hours. if not for days. Two rude ventilating fans were fixed to the shaft wall and the stairway. and the men turned these by hand in frantic struggle for air. The hands Of one miner firmly gripped the fan.
 The damp was so bad that the explorers had only time to see the bodies. and were compelled to a hasty retreat.
 They picked up a piece of slate on which was written: We are here together. 10S," that being supposed to mean the number of men On d wooden box used to hold tools was written with a lead pencil We are here to die together and some fig ures that looked like 160
 Many former workmen of the mine protested angrily today after it had been discovered that the men would have been safe had not the yenti- lating fan in the mine been reversed shortly after the discovery of the fire.
 IOddS Nbt ltdIlcS lIOu lht in the second vein. 310 feet below the surface, had swept fifty feet up the main shaft Then the fire was forced back. Manager Taylor says the destruction of the main shaft is at all times imminent, and with it will go the only possibility of the removal of the bodies.
 That no men survive in the mine is now generally conceded. even by the most optimistic. The only part If the mine as yet unexplored and in which living men possibly could be found. is the east workings of the second vein. at the entrance Of which the fire is burning fiercely.
 Twice rescuing parties have ven tured past the fire area. and have been temporarily cut off by the flames and rescued with difficulty. No further attempt to venture into this part of the mine will be made untii ,the fire is extinguished. and that may be the work of days.

'NOT FAVORING THE BUDGET
The Former Premier Be- leves That a Consequence of Its Rejection Might Be the Elimination of the House of Lords.

! London. Nov 24.-Lord Rosebery. lformer liberal prime minister. lifted
 the historic struggle today between
 the lords and. the house of commons 10 new plane by one of the finest speeches he has ever delivered. He
 warned the lords of the grave risks they were running if they adopted
 Lord Lansdowne's resolution to re- ject the hndget.
 Interest in today's debate was in
 tense. There was not enough room to seat all the persons attending and
 the public galleries were crowded
 The Duchess of C0hnaught headed a long list of the foremost peeresses. many Of whom were compelled to stand throughout
 Lord Salisbury resumed the debate with a speech supporting Lord I.ans- downe's resolution. after the Arch bishop of Canterbury had said the bishops would stand aside from the discussion. as the debate was strict ly of party character
 Lord Rosebery followed in a long speech, giving the lords plain warn ing of the danger in the path they were treading. He said: Il am quite disassociated from any party. and I speak from my sense of the lawful gravity of the situation This Is the greatest political moment in the lifetime of any man born since 1s32r
 Lord Rosebery admitted that by the letter of the law, the house of lords was competent to reject any financial bill. but since the reform of 1892 it was not possible that the commons should send up a budget which the house of lords should go to the length of rejecting. He con sidered that the only circumstance justifying the lords in exercising such a dominant power would be the direct authority of the nation itself.
 Such circumstance might arise if Ia budget were presented which low ered the defenses of the country to Ia point which the nation considered dangerous. He doubted whether the lords were choosing the best battle field. They were playing for too heavy a stake and were risking the DA tAit iAoho' pA AtAdH-
 He denounced the budget in the strongest terms and said that one maxim burned into them by bitter experience was that there should be no taxation without representation. Disregard for that maxim.' he said. lost us the United States of America and We are not likely to offend against 1t again
 Lord Roseberry contended that the budget taxed the lords freely and abundantiy without their having a word to say or a vote in the mat ter. After referring to the budget as having spread over the country want .of confidence and a want Of credit. worst disaster that could affect commercial nation. he utterned sol .emn warning that the pressure for great arrnaments was hurrying Europe towards bankruptcy.
 Expressing regret that he could not support the resolution. Lord Rose bery resumed his seat. having spoken fifty minutes. His picturesque and glowing eloquence produced a tre- mendous effect

SKELETON IN BOX
 NEAR CAlfMCO
The Receptacle Had Been Shipped by
 Phoenix Firm.

Fl Centro, Nov. 24.-A grewsome find Of 2 skeleton Of a man in box has been made in a deep wash leading into New River. near Calexico. The box in which the skeleton was found bears the label of the Mesa Dairy con- pany at Phoenix. Arizona. and was addressed to Narney Bros, general merchants of CalexiCo. Members of this firm say they have not received shipments from the Phoenix firm for fully three years. The box apparently had been but short time out in the weather.
 Besides the bones of the skeleton the box contained part of a. woman's silk waist, apparently spotted with blood. and pieces of silk stockings. The box was partly filled with silt
 The skeleton was that Of q man probably 40 years old. Two teeth in the lo"er jaw had gold filings. The clothing in the box was considerably decayed and the bones indicated ex- posture ro the air for a year or more. The mystery is unexplainable to the CalexieO authorities. and the skeleton Is held there for investigation.
 There is no firm here known as the Mesa Dairy company, though there is Mesa Dair. and Ice colipanv at Mesa, but no one connected with II could be communicated with last night. It is entirely improbable that in any case any light could have been thrown on the mystery from this end.

in getting letters in the wrong
boxes, have fixed a penalty of
200 dollars on persons taking mail
out of the Office other than their
own and not returning it at once.
This Law also includes newspa-
pers. The excuse that it is the
postmaster's fault makes no diff
ference. If you have been get

better take warning or you may

Who PAYS the Bill.

After all the to-do that preced-
ed it, the Teddy administration
ended in a farce, says an exchage.
His expedition to Africa was to
be half paid by the Smithsonian
Institute. The joke of this is,
that he, as President, was the
head of the Institute when the
generous offer was made him
by himself. But that is not all.
The Institute went after money
for him, and is said to have col
lected $25, 900 more. Five thou
sand dollars of this came from
Hartman, the man Roosevelt
SO vehemently denounced, and
So, 600 from the Rockefeller in
terests which he tried so strenu-
ously to Destroy This completes
the farce of it. No wonder the
President turned pale the min
ute his stunt was over, and left
the stage. The applause was
deafening and the laughter a
general thing.

Kicking out Of Large Contracts.

that several Independent tobacco
firms, who purchased some of the
Burley Society pool last fall, hi d
thrown MANY hogsheads of their
purchase back on the hands of
the society. BY taking advan-
tage of a clause in the contract
in reference to the delivery of
the tobacco, 1T is alleged that
many independent firms may re-
pudiate their contracts. For this
cause, it is said, much delay has
occurred in the payment of mon
ey due to the growers in the
pool. This contingency has also
had its effect on the proposed
pool for 1909 crop.
