Washington, Dec. 20.-However re-
mote the craftsmanship of the senate
committee on finance the committee
which makes and unmakes tariff bills
in the senate, has been to North Da-
kota aspirants since the defeat of SEN
ator Hansbrough for reelection two
years ago, the fact remains that the
people of North Dakota in returning
Porter j. McCumber to the senate for
another term are once more in reach
Of that much coveted place. Indeed,
Senator McCumber stands fourth in
succession for the Craftsmanship, being
outranked only by Senator Penrose of
Pennsylvania, Senator Cullom of ILL
nois and Senator Lodge of Massacnu-
setts OF this number the former is
said to be lacking in the elements of
leadership which the Craftsmanship of
so important committee necessarily
entails; the next in line, Senator Gull

ator Lodge has yet to run the gauntlel
of reelection before he can become a
positive quantity in the equation. Thus

ReScuerS Unable to Get Into
the Nine Promptly
Pitiable Scenes Aboutthe Mouth
of the Shaft

Bolton, Eng, Dec. 21--An explosion
followed by fire and causing many
fatalities occurred in the little Hutton
colliery OF the Hutton Colliery Co, here
this morning soon after 29O miners
had gone below the surface to begin
the days work. The cause and ex-
tent of the disaster was in doubt for
several hours. The first rescuing
party to reach the scene succeeded in
bringing seven men and boys to
safety. Late they recovered the
bodies of five more victims.
At the moment of the explosion
flames spread through the affected
passage and smoke and poisonous gas
filled the mine.
The plight of the miners was rend-
cred more dangerous by a mishap to
the machinery of the shafts where the
cages refused to move for a time pre-
venting quick escape and interfering
with the ventilation. The rising gases
were checked by distractions and
driven back upon the entombed men.
Meantime the fire. ragged fiercely and
1t is supposed that many who were
not killed by the noxious fumes were
burned to death.
The rescuers were unable to go di-
rect to the spot where the miners
were entombed and there was some
delay while they sought access to
the place through adjoining leads.
Word of the accident was carried
quickly TO the homes of the miners
and presently the friends and families
surrounded the mouth of the colliery.
as always on the occasion of such
disasters, The anxious throng was
composed of half crazed wives and
children and the pitiabIe scenes fami-
liar to all mining districts were en-

ALL TRACE LOST
OF TWO Miners
GERMAN VESSEL AND ANOTHER
THAT WENT TO HER AID
MISSING.

Las Palmas, Canary Island. Dec. q.
Anxiety is felt for the safety of the
Woermann steamship line steamers
Ingbert and Irma Woermann. The lat
ter vessel started out from here yes
terday in a terrible gale to succor her
sister ship, which had been sighted
twelve miles off the coast displaying
signals of distress and indicating that
her engines had broken down. Since
then no word has come from either OF
the liners and they have not been
sighted by incoming vessels. 1t is
thought that they may have been
driven northward by the fierce storm
which still ragged today.
The German consul here is aboard
the Irma. Both OF the German steam
ers ply between Hamburg, Rotterdam
and West African ports.

REAL REVOLUTION.

Chihuahua, Dec. 21-The defeat
Of the troop train with it's three
field pieces and $50 men intensifies
the tension here. On top of the
drawn battle or Cerro Prieto ten
days ago it is taken as a confrma-
ton Of declarations that Presi-
dent Diaz confronts a real revo-
luton. The most ardent sympa-
thizers with the revolt and they
include most OF the unofficial pop
llation, scarcely hoped the insur-
gents would be able to make more
than one stand against the disci-
plined soldiers of the government.
The government states the re-
volt consisted of but little save a
neuclus of bandits augmented by
misguided poems who could not
handle a rifle and whom 1t would
be but police work to subdue.
The official report now doubles the
estimate Of the number of insur-
rectors in field. Cerro Prieto was
a drawn fight. Nal Paso was q
victory for the rebels.

Chihuahua, Mex, Dec. 21.-Via FL
Paso, Tex.--Amplified advices change
but little todays telegraphic report of
the cutting UP of the government
troop train at Nal Paso last Sunday.
The official report of twenty lone fed
eral killed, ten missing and forty two
wounded stands with the addition that
thirty slightly wounded, bringing the
total injured to seventy-two, also came
on the train. The injuries of these
thirty are not serious and it is not
customary to carry them in the hos
pital lists Most OF them are on their
feet. Rumors have been abroad today
that the federals lost 100, but this
seems to be without foundation and
probably referred to the total number
Of killed, wounded and injured, which
makes about 100.
The hospital train brought in eighty
mauser rifles or about the number
which their killed and wounded would
have dropped.
