CHINA REVOLTS
OVER LOAN
DAY OF PRAYER HAD BEEN GET
TO COMMEMORATE
THE EVENT.
PRESIDENT DOMINATES CABINET
Insurgents Hold Leading Political
Organization In Republic
Army With the
President.

Pekin-Chinas day Of prayer did
not prove entirely peaceful, due to
dissension over the five-power loan.
The loan, which is for $125, 100000,
was signed just before daybreak by
the Chinese and foreign signatories.
delegation from tho senate and
house OF representatives gathered
outside the British bank, where the
representatives of the government
and the five power group met. The
vice president Of the senate acted as
spokesman for the delegation and
when an opportunity was given him
to confer with the signatories, he ex.
planned that the majority in the par
Lament considered the loan illegal.
Since the dynastic days the ques.
ton Of a loan has been discussed in
various forms and 1t threatens now
to bring about another revolution
similar to that caused by the Hu
Kuang loan.
The situation is about as follows:
The fivefpower bankers and the
Chinese government have arranged
the loan practically for Yuan Shi
Kai's cabinet, which Yuan Shi Ksi
completely dominates. The cabinet
contends that the government has a
right to conclude such contract be-
cause the permanent assembly has
not yet been constituted and, there.
fore, approval Of the six-power loan
by the provisional assembly holds
good. In addition to the withdrawal
of the United States from the combi.
nation other alterations have been
made in the arrangement since the
seante approved Of 1t.
The Kwoh Ming Tang party, which
is the dominating political party,
would remove Yuan Shi Kai by par.
limentary means or force, but neitheH,
is possible while the president con-
trolls the army at Pekin. The Rd.
herents Of the Kwoh Ming Tang party
do not desire to withdraw to Marking
for the purpose Of establishing a par.
lament there, because such action
would result in disruption between
the north and south.
The dead lock at present is com.
plete. Members of the Kwoh Ming
Tang express the fear that some OF
the powers represented in the loan
Great Britain, France, Germany, Rus.
sia and Japan-now that the loan Is
concluded with Yuan Ski Kai, may
strengthen his hands by recognizing
the republic at an early date. In this
Connection an interesting question
arises as to whether the United States
will anticipate these powers in spite
of the fact that the house Of repre-
sentatives has again failed to elect a
speaker. It is probable that the south.
ern party will seek to cancel the loan
as a test of their strength against
Yuan Ski Kai.

.115 LIVES LOST IN
MINE EXPLOSION
THRILLING ESCAPES MADE BY
MANY WoRKmEN FROM THE
BURNING SHAFTS.
NONE IN MINE ARE STILL ALIVE
Rescue Parties Make Slow Progress
On Account of the Fumes and
Gases Left From the
Explosion.

PittsRurgh-Thirty-ive bodies of
miners, victims of the explosion in
the Cincinnati mine Of the Mononga-
hela Coal and Coke company at Fin
leyville have been removed from the
workings Many other bodies have
been found, but so far it has been
impossible to remove them because Of
wreckage. Rescuers have not been
able to penetrate many of the work
ings because of fumes and gases
That 100 men composed the day
shift instead of 179 as at first stated,
was announced by the Pittsburgh Coal
company. The Monongahela is a sub
sidiary of the Pittsburgh company.
This announcement also stated that Is
miners escaped after the blast. Ac-
cording to these figures 80 men have
not been accounted for and as trained
mine rescue men said that probably
every imprisoned man had been killed
by the after damp" it is feared the
death list will reach the neigh5orhood
of lis.
OF the S5 dead taken from the mine,
19 have been identified at the morgue
in Monongahela City, four miles away,
where all the victims are being sent.
The rescue workers from the United
States bureau of mines and the squads
maintained by the various coal COM
panies in the Monongahela valley
worked assidously during the day to
penetrate the inner workings of the
mine. They met with little success.
The reticent attitude Of both rescuers
and mine representatives has resulted
in an absence Of details. 1t has been
ascertained, however, that rescuers
have only been able to reach a point
one mile underground.
The Cincinnati mine is about four
miles in length. It's main entrance is
at Courtney, on the Pittsburg Vir-
ginia and Charleston railroad, short
distance from Huston Run, Pa.
The other entrance is Mingo juno
ton, Pa.
The explosion occurred deep in the
mine. The Cincinnati mine has been
in operation for about thirty-eight
years Thirty years ago there was a
mine explosion in which mine cars
we're blown through the tipple and half
way across the Monongahela river.
A theory advanced as to the cause
of the explosion is that an old mine
running parallel with the Cincinnati
mine was filled with gas, which may
have escaped through a crack in the
concrete wall separating the mines.
1t will take a thorough investigation,
however, to ascertain whether escap-
ing gases, coal dust or after-damp
caused the explosion. The majority
Of the dead are foreigners.
