THIRlY.ONE MEN PERISH
No Hope of Escape for Persons IN
CoIliery at Time of the Mishap-
Fortunately But Few Were at WORK

Conisboro, Yorkshire, England july
o-Thc inner workings of the Cadeby
coIlierv near here were destroyed by
an eyplosion of fire damp at q a. M
today. There were thirty-one miners
in the workings at the time OF the dis
ociar and it is believed certain that
all were killed. Up to noon, seven
bodies all manglcd by the force OF the
eyposion had been recovered.
1t was officially announced by the
mine management that there was no
hone that any Of the thirty men III
the mine the time of the explosion
ESCAPED. The explosion set fire TO
the lower workings and this made II
impossiblc to send searching parties
to the bottom Of the SHAFT.
That the death list was so Smali
was due to the time Of the eXpios-
ion. The regular night shift hao
come off work and the day shift had
not yet descended to the bottom Oh
the shaft. King George and queen
Mary who have been touring the MN
ing regions were in the mine yester-
day.
While the rescuers were uhoer
ground trying to penetrate the wreck
ed portion of the mine four additlohal
explosions took place.
Several Of the rescuers were Serl-
ously injured and one report from the
mine mouth says that some OF them
were killed. The rescue work was nm
alIv suspended until the mine could be
cleared of after damp.
Conisboro. Yorkshire, England, July
9.-Twenty heroes, including some OF
the most experienced miners IN all
England. went to almost certain dealh
today in desperate effort to rescue
thirty miners, pinned in the lower
workings of the Cadsby mine by an
explosion of gas. Despite the 1ac'
that all of the thrty--victlms OF an
early morning eXplosion-were beiieV
ed to be dead, the rcscuers INSISTED
on trying to penetrate to the bottom
Of the gas filled workings in the hope
that some might still be alive.
Their efforts were futile and 1oul
additional explosions completely shat
tered the shaft and shaft house, put
the hosting and ventllating device
out of commission and imprisoned the
entire rescue party in the deep shaft
where late this evening it is feared all
are dead.
Included in the party caught by the
second explosion were W. Blckerlng
noted government mine inspector
and Dan Chambers, pit boss of the
wrecked mine. A second body OF res
cuers managed to force their way
down the wrecked shaft to recover the
dead bodies.

review OF TRADE.
busineSSCOnfiden
Pronounced Increase.
Iron, Steel, Copper and Dry
Goods Growing Strong.
Demand for Prompt Shipments
Little Trade Inactive.

New York. Jan. 5.--R. G. Dun &
Co.'S. Weekly Review of Trade. tomor-
row, will say:
The year opens with a pronounced
increase in business confidence based
upon the Improvement during the past
three months, and especially in iron
and steel. copper and dry goods and
there is growing belief that the new
year will prove better as to the volume
of business transactions than 1911
though this optimism is tempered by
much conservatism. and there is no
disposition to expand unduly. Job
bers of dry goods are opening their
cor showings of fabrics for spring
and are sending their men on the road
seeking additional business in spring
silks and regular lines. A reduction
on printed shirtings OF nc. n yard
was announced in the primary mark
cts, but there is q firner tendency in
drills, sheetings and heavy colored
goods. Export trade in cotton goods
with miscellaneous ports opens aus
piciously, but the China markets are
closed. There has been further re-
sumption of operations in cotton
mills. Shipments of goods on old or
ders are asked for promptly. While
trade in woolens is rather quiet, as
usual at this period, some of the lara-
er agencies for overcoatings have been
booking It very satisfactory business
and leading manufacturers of Chin
chillas have already sold their proouc-
ton for the fall season, while others
are getting ready TO provide for the
increasing demand for these lines.
Trade in leather is always Inactive
ut this time, but business at present
is somewhat better than is usually
the case SO soon after the holidays.
Prices show general strength on all
kinds of sole and upper leather and
particularly in sole leather offal, but
harness leather has weakened slightly,
although at a decline of about 1c.
tanners hold steady. Splits continue
to improve and prices for certain va
rieties are fully so per cent higher
than the low rates of last year Some
Improvement is noted in the hide
market with slightly higher prices
realized in some instances than
former rates and this in the face of the
fact that the quality at this time OF
year is steadily growing poorer Fall
ures. this week, numbered 407 in the
United States against 1876, last year,

Removal of P. @.
From Politics.

Washington. Jan, 5.-Postmaster Gener-
al Hitchcock, today, expressed his APP
prevail of the proposition to remove the
post office department absolutely from
political influences.
II believe" he said, "that the entire
postal service should be taken out of
politics. A recommendation that this be
done was contained in so many words
in my annual report of 1910. 1t is appar-
ent that the highest degree of effective
ness in the conduct of this tremendous
business establishment cannot be obtain
ed while the thousands of postmasters
continue to be political appointees. AS
an important reform. presidential post
masters of all grades should be placed
in the classified service. This action.
which I earnestly recommended a year
ago and now renew, would result un-
questionably in higher and better
standard of service
