EIGHT KILLED IN MINE.

Near Milkesbarre. Pa.

WILKESBARRE. Feb. Is. - Eight
mine workers were killed and six 9th
ers seriously injured by an explosion OF
gas in the Prospect eolliery OF the Lee
high Valley Coal company near here
yesterday. Two of the injured proba-
bly, will die.
The accident occurred in the Red Ash
vein at a point nearly two miles from
the shaft. a heavy pocket of feeder
gas that had accumulated behind a
wall OF coal forced the coal out and,
leaping to the naked lights of the min
els. ignited, causing terrific explosion.
The blast swept out through the
chamber into the gangway, where a
group of miners and boys were eating
lunch. 1t was here that most of the
killed and injured were found by the
rescue party, which was formed by the
two score men who escaped injury. Aid
from the surface and from other work
ings was summoned. and by dark all
the victims had been brought out of
the mine

This Country Can Export
1000, 1000 Bushels Wheat
Daily Until July
CORN AND POTATOES
ARE ALSO PLENTIFUL
Average Price of Meat Animals Per
Cent Lower Than in January of Last
Year - Argentine Wheat Crop Now
Coming into Market.

SOiH1GS 1uIO N1dIkeG.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 1S.-Assurance
that the United States is in no danger of
a shortage of food, despite enormous ex-
ports to Europe, was given last night by
the department of agriculture in state
ment to the public.
The surplus of wheat above domestic
needs on hand Feb. l, the statement said,
would permit the expectation of nearly
100000 bushels daily-about the recent
average-untl the new crop is available.
Moreover, there We're larger supplies of
corn and other grains, meat animals,
dairy products, potatoes and fruit at the
opening of 1915 than for many years
incidentally, it was pointed out that the
average price of meat animals was per
cent lower in January than a year ago,
butter = per cent, potatoes 81 per cent,
apples 81 per cent, and the price of chick
ems slightly lower.
The 1914 wheat crop of the United
States was estimated to be S91 100000
bushels, said the statement The esti-
mated surplus carried over from the 1913
crop was about 100000 bushels, making
total available supply of 967 100000
bushels
AS the normal annual per capita con-
! sumption of wheat in the United States IS
should meet our normal domestic require
ments for food; 90,OOO,0 900 bushels are re-
qnlred annually for seeding. Therefore.
! 6loOU0,00O bushels should supply the
normal domestic demand
| This would leave a surplus of 357 600
| 600 bushels.
| "Of this surplus about 21O. 0OO. 900 bush
els We're exported by Jan 30. This left
l4T,0O,oU0 bushels or 100000 bushels
more than our average annual exports for
| the past five years, for export between
| Feb. / and the appearance of the new crop
or Tor carrying over into the next crop
year.
The new American crop will begin to
appear before July. The Argentine crop
Is now coming on the market 1t Is esti-
mated that from that source there will be
available 100,000,0O0 bushels 4 surplus
Iof I1,oo0,OO0 bushels or more from India
will be available in May and June. The
increase IN the fall sown wheat acreage of
the United States III 1914 was Ill per
cent or more than 100000 acres
The statement added that the acreage Of
winter wheat sown in Denmark. Italy,
Switzerland, the United Kingdom, United
States, India and Canada shows an in
crease of from 3 to :5i3 per cent.
But suppose a shortage III wheat should
develop IN the next three months, what
would be the situation2' the department
asked, There Is great surplus in other
TODD crops IN the United States, a number
OF which can be used as substitutes The
most Important competing products are
corn and potatoes. Normally, only about
) per cent OF the corn crop j. consumed as
food. The potato production in the United
States averages 3S bushels per capita.
| This year the available supply is 40
bushels
, 1T would seem that the United States
Is not likely to be threatened with a short

Some Younsster Might Bob Up as

Now and Those of 1900. .".
The western idea of nothing to wor-
ry about is the transfer of the national
tennis championship from Newport,
X. l., to New York. Whichever way
the eat jumped there was never a
chance for its general direction to be
westward. ..e--
The east has complete monopoly of
the tennis championship industry. The
change merely means that the New
York element has won from the Bos
ton clique.
What the west wants is Il rotation
tournament in line with the suggestion
of Dwight L. Davis, first one city and
then another entertaining the United
States title contestants.
The east has far the greater proper
ton of good tennis players as compar-
ed with the west. 1t also has num-
Der of exclusive clubs equipped for
handling the event, something in
which the west is deficient. But the
Lawn Tennis association has surplus
of $4,000, which could help defray ex-
penses of shifting the tourney annual
ly, as proposed.
If the building up of the game is de-
sired shifting the national champion
ship would certainly do more than
keeping it perpetually in one spot
however well adapted to holding such
IN event that spot might be.
