TAKES TOLL IN NINE EXPLOSION
More than 100 COnvicts Meet Death
In Mine ut Iittleton, Ala.

Littleton, Ala, April 8.-Onc Aun-
dred and eighteen men are tonight
entombed In the Banner mine, and
but three bodies have been brought
to the surface, following a terrific
explosion early this morning.
The fatal after-damp which fol-
lowed the explosion has 80 far kept
the rescuers from penetrating the
mine, though they have been far
enough in the interior to see grue-
some pile Of human bodies huddled
together near the shaft. 1t Is esti-
mated that about twenty men are in
this pile. Officials Of the Pratt Con-
solidated Coal Company, who own
the mine, have practically abandon
ed hope Of bringing out alive any of
those below the surface.
This afternoon the entombed min
ers could be heard knocking on the
pipes below, but there is an omni-
GUS stiffness tonight which indicates
that the suffocating after-damp has
done its deadly work.
Practically all of the men killed
are negroes.
There are No Mou,ncrs.
To-day's explosion differs from
those OF the past years in Alabama
In that there are practically no
mourners at the openings. Usually
there is great crowd of widows and
orphans waiting for their loved ones,
but the men at Banner were con-
victs and for the most part without
friends. Their relatives are scatter
ed through the various counties of
the State.
A rush order for 100 coffins. was
sent to Birmingham early tonight.
While the actual number of VIC
tins cannot be determined tonight,
1t Is the opinion Of mining experts
here that this will prove the worst
mining catastrophe in the history of
the Alabama coal fields, the nearest
to 1T In number of victims being the
Virginia mine explosion in 1905,
which caused the death Of 112 men.
A rigid investigation by the State
is expected to follow and every facil-
ity is being offered the State and
Federal insp ectors here to make q
full inquiry.

MEN AND BOYS DIE IN NINE.
Rescuer and Expert OvercOme-The
Blaze Started in Engine House.

Scranton, Pa, April 7.-One Of
the most serious mine disasters that
ever occurred in this section of the
country took place to-day at the lit
tie village of Throop, short dist
ance from this city, when the lives
Of 60 men and boys were snuffed out
in the Pancoast colliery.
Among those known to have per-
ished are Joseph Evans, who was in
charge Of the United States mine
rescue car; Isaac Dave, fire boss,
and Walter knight, foreman. The
others are nearly all foreigners.
Evans's death was due to defective
oxygen-charged armor. Charles En-
zian, the expert, in general charge of
mine rescue work for the Federal
government, was also overcome, and
Is said to be in a critical condition.
Blaze Starts in Engine House.
The fire started in an engine house
at the opening Of slope leading
from the diamond vein $50 feet from
the surface, at 10 o'clock this morn
ing. There were 400 men in the
mine when the fire started, about so
OF them in the workings into which
the slope led. These GO were at
work in "blind" tunnel at the end
of the slope.
Escape was completely blocked by
fire, smoke and the generated gases,
possibly before the men and boys re-.
allied their danger. The other men,
scattered in different workings, got
out by various exits.

STORM TO BREAK IN CONGRESS.
Both the Great Political Parties arc
Sadly Divided.

Washington, April 9.--It is daily
becoming manifest that Congress is
facing stormy session, and that
there can be made no forecast Of the
probable legislative results. The fact
that both Of the great political par
ties are badly divided is no longer
denied, and the leaders appear to
have little hope of restoring anything
more than surface harmony.
Virtually -Four Parties.
There are virtually four parties,
each with large representation,
working at odds in the present ses-
sion. The Republican minority in
the House Is divided between regu-
lars and insurgents, as was evidenc-
ed by the vote in the speakership
contest. The breach between these
two factions Is even wider in the Re-
publican majority Of the senate.
A sharp line has been drawn be-
tween the conservative Democrats of
the Senate, who are opposed to any
attempt at dictation on the part of
William Jennings Bryan, and the pro-
gressive Democrats, including prac-
tically all of the new members and
senatorial veterans like Senator
Stone, OF Missouri, who are Bryan
adherents.
House Democrats Harmonious.
The House Democratic majority
seems thus far to have escaped a
break, but the leaders fear that the
party contest in the Senate may at
! any time spread to the other branch
The situation has interfered with
the selection of committees and the
| beginning of legislative work.
Probably there never has been a
Congress where so much uncertainty
existed, and where the uneasiness has
| been SO equally distributed between
the two major political parties. OF
course this is due, In part, to the
fact that in the present Congress the
Democrats are in power in the House
and the Republicans are in control in
the Senate.
The real cause Of the anxiety, how
ever, Is believed to be due to the
proximity of the party conventions,
which will select the standard bear
ers for 1912, and the knowledge that
slip by either during the extraor-
dinary session or the regular session
to follow may very easily determine
the result of the next national cam.
paign.
What Taft Wants.
SO far as the administration pro-
gram Is concerned there is no room
for speculation. President Taft has
recommended the enactment of leg
islatfon to carry out provisions Of the
Canadian reciprocity agreement, and
1t is no secret that he would ,be glad
to have Congress stop at that and
defer the question Of further revis-
ion Of the tariff until the regular ses-
sion assemblies next winter. His rea-
son for this is that the tariff board
would be able to report several sched-
ules by that time.
Neither is there any obscurity
about the program Of Speaker Clark,
Representative Underwood, chair
man Of the new ways and means COM
mittee, and other Democrats who are
directing the policy Of the House.
Their plan for progressive legislation
on number Of subjects with which
the country has been made familiar
within the last year or so has been
given out.
