Those attending the convention
we're greatly disappointed because OF
the failure of United States Senator
John Sharp Williams to come here on
the noon train and deliver an address,
but he was detained on private bust
ness. Senator Williams had never
made it plain whether he could def
nitely agree to appear before the post
masters, writing President Barr that
he was greatly in need of rest.
Before adjourning the postmasters,
n convention assembled, adopted the
following resolution:
Resolved, That the Mississippi
1ostmasters desire to express their
heartfelt appreciation for courtesies
extended to them by the Jackson post
office, the Jackson daily newspapers
The Blind Institute orchestra, the
Young Mems Business club, the Jack
son Board of Trade, and to those who
so largely contributed to the entertain
ment of those attending the meeting:

 Coal and Coke Go.

Boomer, w. Va, Nov 3O.-Rescue parties worked desperately tonight to penetrate the workings of Mine Num- Der two of the Boomer Coal and Coke company, where an explosion caused py a blowout shot occurred today, Three hundred miners were at work al the time, but mine officials declared that all but thirty had been account ed for. Other reports, however. said that more than twice that number had been entombed.-
 Ten miners were rescued from a sub entrance to the mine at six o'clock this evening in semi-conscious condition. When revived they said they had seen many men apparently dead a short dis tance from the point where the explo- sion occurred. Early reports said that fire das raging in the mine but re- cuers denied this.
 Thirty men wene removed from the mine tonight by rescue parties and E. A. Bell chief clerk of the com pany, said that thirty were still miss ing. All suffered from the effects of the explosion but none was in a se- r1ous condition except one man whose leg was broken. Mine officials ex- pressed the opinion that at least d ma tority of those yet in the mine have barricaded themselves back of the point where the explosion occurred

 Field Marshal Won Mackensen's Army.
 German papers state that Field Marshal Won Mackensen's army, with Bulgarians and Turks, is to be direct ed against the Anglo-French forces in the south, but doubtless many of them are goind down the Danube to meet the Russian menace. The public is ex- pectiRg every day to hear of the move ment of the Russian army which the emperor recently reviewed in Bessa- rabia, but apparently the negotiations with Rumania for the use of the Danube have not been concluded. A Budapest report goes so far as to say that Rumania has refused permission to the Russians to use the river would De the more convenient route for an attack on western Bulgaria.
 Greece Withholding Reply.
 There also seems to be some hitch in the allies negotiations with Greece, for nothing is yet forthcoming as to the latter country's reply to the latest demands for guarantees of safety and facilities for the entente's armies op- erating near the Greek frontier. The and the dalay in it's receipt leads to the supposition that the Greek cab inet is not prepared to go as far as the entente powers desire.

 Fierce Attacks by Italians.
 The fighting on this front has been the most sustained and fierciest battle of the whole war. For weeks the Italians have been attacking the Aus trian bridge heads and mountain po- Sftions along the Isonzo river and are slowly bSI surely drawing their nets around Tolmino, Gorizia and Doberdo. Their attacks have been repeated time after time against positions which mad been most carefully prepared and, while the AaStrians report that most of these assaults have been so worded as to prepare the public for their retire ment from Gorizia at least.
 Keeping Autrians Busy.
 This for the the time being is Italy's contribution to the Balkan operations of the allies. for it keeps a large force of Austrians busy and makes it neces- sary for them continually to bring up endorsements which could be ema ployed against the Montenegrins and Serbians. The Serbians, unless fol- lowed into Albania, will in time prob ably reappear as a rejuvenated army, for it is said that 256.0GO of them, in cluding soldiers and civilians, have taken refuge there and that they have saved all tbe:S mountain ba./ries and a portion of their field guns.
