MINERS KILLED

Several Killed Outright and Others Caught Beyond ExpIosion-Work-
 CTS Trying to Rescue.

BELLVALLEY, O., Nov. 13.-Sev- eral miners were killed and eight more are entombed in one of the coal mines near here as result of an ex- plosion of coal damp. Crews are working to reach the entombed men and the state mining inspectors and miners relief corps are on the scene with oxygen helmets, working to- wards the danger zone in hopes of passing beyond to the old workings, where the men are believed to have taken refuge.
 The cries of the grief-stricken wo- men and children, who are at the mouth of the shaft waiting and hop ing that husbands and fathers may be saved, are heart1 ending, and while the management is still hopeful that the eight missing men may be saved the drawn faces of the workers, as they come from the lower workings, give but little hope of rescue alive.

 It is believed the rebel commander will heed the warning.

NOGALES, Mex. Nov 13.-William ilait, the personal representative of President Wilson and the cabinet, who was sent here to confer with General Carranza held a long con- ference today with General CarranZa, the two men being closeted for sev- eral hours.
 The renewal of populations be- tween the American administration and the leader of the constitutional ists here, it is believed, will result in the recognition of the rebels by the administration with the right to import arms and ammunition and al so the privilege of borrowing money. General Carranza has stated that with recognition he could enter Mex ico City in thirty days.
 The rebels in this part of the Mex ican republic are hopeful that the conference of the two men will re- suit in the long sought for recogni- tion.

SEATTLE, Nov. 13.-The hearing of the government cases against the coal claimants were started here to- day by officials of the land depart menr, who have cited the Alaska Smokeless Anthracite, the Corbin Mountain Anthracite and the McKen- zie Anthracite companies, who are charged with violation of the land laws, to appear and show cause why the claims located by them in the Boring river dist1ict should not be cancelled.
 long list of eminent attorneys represent the claimants, who assert that work was done o nthe property as required by fair construction of the law and that the contention of the land department, that a mine must be developed before the claimants can secure patent, IS not fair and will retard the development of the terri tory.

SHIP SINKS; " TWENTY DROWN Italian Bark Goes Down Near lis- bon-Five Are Rescued by a
 Passing Steamer.

LISBON, Nov. 13.-The Itsaian bark El-So sank off this port today and twenty of the crew were drown ed. Five of the crew were saved by a passing steamer, which saw the predicament of the vessel and launched boat in spite of the heavy seas which were running. The five men were rescued when they jumped into the sea as the ship plunged be- meath the waves.
 The rescued men state that the vessel sprung a leak and her seams opened up so much that in spite of the work of the crew at the pumps, the water gained such headway un- til the bark was so low in the water that she plunged into every sea which broke over her decks. The boat final ly sank.
 The crew were preparing to leave the ship when the steamer was sight ed but the boat did not last as long as they expected and only those who were able to swim until picked up were saved.

Refiners who receive their sugar
chiefly from Cuba ask, on the con-
trary, for a reduction in the customs
duties.
On the other hand, if it were
though desirable to establish a con-
sumption tax on sugar, the sugar mills
would have to be subjected to an ex-
else and a government service would
have to come into existence.
It Is good to have our domestic
questions summed up in these foreign
formulas which, after all, clear up the
situation. M. Saillard-so far as the
outcome Of legislation now going on
can be forseen--owns frankly: We
cannot divine how the question will
be solved. It seems not impossible
that American sugar legislation may
be modified. AT least, the customs
duties on sugar may be lowered"

Minister of Commerce, in his speech

American Chamber of Commerce of
Paris He found the root of all tariff
difficulties between the two republics
in the American preference Of ad va

consequence, it is necessary to deter.
mine in America the real cost in
France of goods imported from
France hence all the vexatious reg
ulations for importers, going so far
as to demand the production Of their

tariff law will do away with obnoxious
proceedings of appraisers, and such
proceedings are sure to be considered
