TOWN FALLS INTO MINE.
Light Plant Goes First. Darkness Ad-
ding to Terror.

ding to Terror.
Quartz, Cal. This place is threat
ened with destruction and the inhabi-
tants are deeply concerned BY the
cavern Of the famous App mine,
which began last Thursday, reaching q
climax at 80 o'clock at night, when
9 hole 200 by 800 feet and $50 feet
deep appeared. It bids fair to swal-
low several buildings.
The floor fell out Of the sixth level
OF the mine, dropping down to the
eight, but the most serious disaster
did not occur until all the north work
ings, which had been extensively
stopped without filling, went down
from the surface to the tenth or elev-
enth level. So far as surface indica-
tions are concerned, it is the most ex-
tensive cave-in in the history of CAL
ifornia.
That AZ men who returned to the
mine to work after the cave-in had
started were not buried beneath 1OO,-
900 tons Of debris is regarded by min
ing men as pure luck.
Quartz was aroused by rumbling
resembling the premonitory signs Of
an earthquake, and men and women
ran into the streets, only to find them
selves in darkness, without the power
to discover the nature Of the catastro-
phe. The transmission line of the
Sierra & San Francisco Power COM
pany, which supplies Tuolumne and
Calaveras counties with light and pow
er, had been swallowed up, and no
light was to be had. What little light
the stars might have shed was OBJ
scured by clouds of dust. Yawning
crevices appeared everywhere, and the
people were afraid to move.

Pekin-The situation in Pekin is
becoming worse. A veritable panic
prevails among the Manchus, and
the Manchu women are adopting Chi
nese dress. Some of them are at
tempting to make their feet appear
smaller by peculiarly constructed
shoes.
Alost all departing trains are drawn
by two engines. So heavily are they
loaded that the people are sitting on
top of their household belongings.
officials are seeking asylum for their
wives and children among the foreign
ers. Prior to the revolution the news
papers frequently cried out agaisnt
the presence Of foreign soldiers, but
the natives are now fleeing to them
for shelter.
The presence Of $1,000 Manchu
troops insures the safety of the cap
ital for the present. The only danger
seems to be from a sudden attack
against the throne and officials, which
might precipitate the threatened mas
sacre by the Manchus. Race feeling
is becoming intensified.
The price of provisions is still rising
and large number of foreigners are
entering the legation quarter. The
legation guards are preparing for
emergencies. The Americans had
sandbags piled on the corner wall,
which is now under strong guard.
Picturesque movements of the Manchu
troops through the city gates occur
silently after nightfall to prevent ex-
element among the population.
Rumors are current that the emperor
has been spirited away and that Prince
Ching, who is too old for flight, has
committed suicide. There are many
such stories. They may or may mot
be true. The American legation has
issued orders that the women and
children. living along the Pekin- Han
kow railway and also in the country
to the west of the line shall proceed
as soon as possible to the coast.

THOMAS P. GORE
SPEAKS TONIGHT
BLIND SENATOR FROM OKLA
HoMA WILL BE FIRST ATTRAc-
TIoN or CITIZENS LECTURE
COURSE THIS EVENING AT THE
A. c. ARMoRY.

An unusually large crowd Is expect
ed at the A. c. Armory this evening
to hear the lecture OF the brilliant blind
senator from Oklahoma, Thomas r.
Gore, the first member of the Citizens
Lecture course this season. Senator
Gore, who needs little introduction tc
the Fargo public win lecture on one
OF his best themes, Social Duty, which
has won him recognition as an orator
and thinker throughout the entire
country
The most unique character in the
United States senate today and the
senator who Is invariably first point
ed out to gallery visitors, Is the blind
senator from the young state Of Okla
homa. Hon. Thomas p. Gore. Nor ie
Senator Gore remarkable alone chief
ly because he is stone blind Both
he and his Cherokee Indian colleague.
Sen. Robt. l.. Owen, are conceded to
be the most brilliant and-eloquent sem
ators in the upper house. whose
speeches are listened 70 with atten-
ton and enthusiasm not only by the
crowds that fll the galleries when
either is announced to speak, but by
the staid and dignifed senators on
the floor as we'll.
When in action, no spectator In
the gallery unacquainted with the
fact would suspect him Of blindness.
He has a trick of holding in his hands
piece of paper and occasionally
turning it towards him as though con-
sulting notes which makes the UNI
initiated think that he as reading
from IT, He is an earnest and ener-
getic speaker, and with a resonant
voice which makes itself heard in all
delivery emphasized by wild shakings
of the head which seriously muss up
his hair.
He has another trick. Always when
speaking he has large book on the
desk in front OF him. Upon this he
places one hand, while with the other
he gesticulates. He alternates these
hands frequently, but always when
one hand leaves the book the other
seeks it, In this way he retains his
sense OF position and geography and
knows Just where is his glass of
water, or bundle OF papers as we'll as
though he had sight.
The blind senator has to have every
thing read to him. His wife and
secretary do this for him and 1t is no
easy job. He listens with close appli
cation and when a point is reached
upon which he desires further en-
Iightenment he insists that other books
of reference shall be found and that
point elucidated before proceeding
further. The reading covers a wide
range of subjects and his mind re-
tains what he hears so that when he
takes the floor to make speech he is
as we'll equipped for the debate as
other men who possess all their senses.

AMBROSE man ~
HAS DISAPPEARED

Ambrose Newsman: Quite sensa-
ton was created in this city last week
by the sudden and unaccountable dis
appearance of Norman J.. Brock, a
prominent and well-to-do farmer liv-
ing near Etady.
Mr.. Brock was in the city Friday
and after doing some trading at our
stores started towards the depot, say
ing that he. would return soon and
load up his purchases. He did not
return and Saturday morning tele-
phone message was received from Mrs.
Brock asking as to his whereabouts.
Search was made and although his
team was still in the feed barn, no
trace Of the missing man could be
found here.
Mrs Brock then called up a friend
OF her husband at Crosby thinking
that he might have gone there, but
the friend stated that he had not seen
him. However, 1t was found that he
had registered at the Perry house. but
Immediately disappeared again.
We are informed as we go to press
that Mrs. Brock has received card
from her husband, mailed at Kenmare.
stating that he had gone, and author
izing her to get money at the bank to
settle up his accounts.
Various theories are advanced to
account for his strange actions but
the popular belief seems TO be that he
has gone insane and is wandering
about the country In that condition,
although rumors OF domestic troubles
are being circulated.
