~ HERRY, ILL.,, Nov. 21.-Twenty
saved, 92 known dead and 1913
missing was the record at the
st. Paul mine tonight. What had
promised to be Cherrys real day of
Thanksgiving ended in a night of hope
deferred, or despair
Ten dead were brought to the sur
face today and 81 more dead were To-
Gated in the second level but were
not brought up on account of black
damp.
Tonight no living man or boy had
been added to the list of the twenty
rescued yesterday.
All day the tolling of church bells
resounded in Cherry and Spring VAL
ley. Eighteen bodies were inferred.
At the mine dozen coffined victims
remained awaiting removal while a
score of caskets were piled nearby for
bodies which are to come.
Services for the dead We're held out
side the churches, into which Coroner
Malm deemed it inadvisable that the
bodies be taken.
From the still untitled graves in
which the Roman Catholic dead were
placed, the priest hurried to the mine
entrance, where, with a second priest,
he waited to administer the last rites

for the dying should his services be
needed.
Mayor Connolly telegraphed Presi-
dent Taft last night that 20 men had
been rescued and that $50 were be-
lieved to be alive. Each hour that
passes now is looked on by the watch
ers as making the chance of escape
less.
All Hope Abandoned
1.-THE men they brought up could not
have lived more than a few hours
longer" said one despalring woman.
IF they don't come up today, they
will come up dead"
The rescuers worked as if this was
their belief. The fire in the second
level was forced back, and early in the
afternoon, the workers could pass it,.
Black damp was the obstacle that
proved insurmountable.
Through it the bodies of 81 men
could be seen. Preparations for TAX
ing out these bodies were rushed when
the morbid throng about the mine had
thinned.

rescuers went on INCREASINGLY Re-

AMERICAN MEAT IS
TOPIC OF GERMANS
Newspapers at Berlin Discuss Pro-
posed Modification of Treaty
Between Two Nations Rel
ative to Shipments

BERLIN, Nov. 21.-The treatment of
American meats by Germany and the
probability of modification in forth
coming negotiations for a trade ar
rangement between the two countries
is much discussed in German news
papers.
The bulletin of the Commercial Treaty
association, which is opposed to the
high protective policy of the govern
ment expresses the opinion that some
restrictions placed upon American
meats are unnecessary from the purely
sanitary standpoint and might we'll be
modified in exchange for certain ad
vantages under the American tariff
law.
The association, however rejects the
claim that American animals and meats
are subject to exceptional treatment
at the hands of the German govern
ment.
The prohibition against the importa-
tion of American beef cattle was issued
in 1896 because several animals in two
cargoes shipped to Hamburg were dis
covered to be affected with Texas
fever; but the importation of live
cattle from Australia, Russia, Rou-
mania, Italy and some other countries
is also prohibited, but for other rea-
sons.
1t is remarked Furthermore that,
even if the prohibition of imports from
the United States were abrogated, it
would still be impossible to bring
American cattle into Germany, be-
cause they, in common with cattle
from other oversee countries, would
be subject to a quarantine detention
and observation of four weeks and
would have to be put through the
tuberculin test.

BUDGET CAUSE OF
STRENUOUS CLASH
IN GREAT BRITAIN
IRv Associated Press l

LONDON, Nov. 2h-The United
Kingdom is more absorbed in politics
now than for many years, and the com
ing week will see the elimination of
the fierce warfare over the budget.
The house of lords is expected to
vote Thursday on Lord Lansdowne's s
resolution calling for the rejection of
the budget.
Most leaders in the upper house will
speak. Lord Rosebery's efforts for the
conservation and those of the earl OF
Hatsbury for the Liberals are awaited
with the most interest.
Probably the largest number of lords
was mustered for the vote since the
rejection of home rule.
About 450 are likely to be assembled
and not more than one-quarter of these
will support the budget. Most of the
politicians predict that when the ques-
ton goes before the people at the gem
eral elections in January it will be
impossible to wipe out the great Liber-
al majority, and that the Liberal gov
ernment will be returned, but with a
comparatively small majority.
The betting at Lloyds Is 8 to in
favor of the Liberals
Liberal leaders declare the issue is
whether the hereditary chamber shall
rule the country.

w ASHINGTON. Nov. 21.-Following
w conference with the president
at the White House tonight on
the Nlcaraguan question, Secretary of
State Knox authorized the following
statement:
"If certain representations of facts
which have been made to the state de-
partment concerning the Grace and
Cannon case are verified by inquiries
which have been made, this government
will at once prepare a demand on the
Nicaraguan government for repara-
ton for the death of these two men,"
For two hours tonight President Taft
conferred with Secretary Knox on the
Nicaraguan situation. The secretary
was accompanied by Henry M. Hoyt.
counselor for the state department.
Mr.. Knox previously conferred with
Assistant Secretary Huntington Wilson.
The only other event of Importance
today was the dispatch of orders to the
transport Buffalo, on duty on the Pa
cific coast. to sail at once for Panama.
The navy departments instructions to
the commander of the Buffalo were
clear and explicit. and the vessel was
expected to sail tonight from Pitchi-
linque bay, Cal.
Uncle Sam Means Business
This ordering of the Buffalo south on
n hurry up schedule is taken to mean
that this government is making ready
to throw a column of United States
marines into the Nicaraguan turmoil for
the protection of American lives and
property.
While the 500 marines are scattered
generally over the canal zone, they can
be concentrated by means of the rail-
road quickly in Panama, where there
are military stores and supplies
Any expedition against Nicaragua
in which the marines figure would be
undertaken on the Pacific coast of the
isthmus. The Buffalo would land the
men at the port of Corinto, forty miles
from Managua.
Authorities tonight insist that the
dispatch of the Buffalo is not to be ac-
cepted as meaning an expedition is to
be launched against the Zelayan gov
ernment, but that the vessel is ordered
south to be In readiness should occa-
sion arise.
The Buffalo carries six guns, is of
6SSS tons burden, and her engines de-
velop $500 horse power. The vessel will
be driven at top speed to Panama,
where, on her arrival. her commander
has been instructed to report imme
diately to Washington.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 2I.,-ActIye
preparations are being made at the local
navy yard for the sailing OF the cruisers
Dixie and Prairie. The latter is expected
10 sail from Panama Thanksgiving day
with 400 marines.
Reports we're current at the yard today
that both vessels are scheduled for
Nicaragua. but the authorities could not
confirm these reports. COmmandant
Rear Admiral Harris said the present
sailing orders of the Dixie are for Boston
and those Of the Prairie he said "are as
far as we know for Colon. but, of course,
any change in the intentions of the de-
pnrtment may be announced at any
time"

Little Baby Vincent Not Pleased with
Implied Compliment.

There Is an eternal masculine as
there Is an eternal feminine, and In
the young masculine animal of the
human race the idea that it is not con-
sistent with his dignity and strength
OF character to be considered too good
develops early. This was shown the
other day by very little man named
Vincent, who is 80 small that his
knowledge of the use of words is as
yet very rudimentary. The little girl.
who is older, had returned from Sun
day school. and grandmamma had
asked her. on general principles, what
the lesson was about.
"Oh, about angels" replied the little
girl indefinitely. and then, seeing pos
sible application. she turned to the
baby, adding. And you are little
angel. aren't you. Vincent7"
Baby might have been expected to
be pleased at this compliment affec-
tionately given. but not at all. He
screwed up his small face, threw all
the force of his small mind into the
putting together Of the proper words.
and burst out:

On the corner OF Twelfth street and
Pennsylvania avenue. opposite the post
Office department, In Washington,
there stands to-day a modern hotel.
and 1t occupies the site of what was
once the pension Office, when Gen, VIII
liam w. Dudley was commissioner.
Formerly, however. there stood on
this site the Kirkwood house. one OF
the best hotels ever known In Wash
ington. It's corridors were thronged
by the most eminent statesmen, and
by ladies' OF social glory In their day
and generation. That old hostelry
would have been preserved by any one
of the countries of the old world; be-
cause 1t was the residence of Vice.

room facing the southwest corner Mr..
Johnson took the oath of president of
the United States within 15 minutes
after President Lincoln had breathed
his last.
