 to Surface Yesterday.

Hinton, W. Va, March 3-Rescue parties continue their efforts to pen citrate the working of the Layland mine of the New River and Pocohon- tas Consolidated Coal company, where an explosion occurred yester- day, but according ota statement to- night only four additional bodies have been brought to the surface today This increases the total known dead to four.
 Rescuers headed by State Mine In- spectors Absolem and Holiday and Company Inspector Muir made con siderable progress today but it is ex- pected the farther they advance, the greater the danger by the explosion is discovered.
 The list of the men believed en- tombed has been issued by the com pany, it is explained that the record of men employed in mines usually considered safe are not kept
 The work of bratticing the main entry is progressing rapidly, but Earl Henry, chief of the West Virginia Mining department, said it would be several days before the min was clear of after-damp.

 My connection is limited wholly to an interview two or three weeks ago with two gentlemen who were the founders of the movement. one a for mer officer of volunteers in the army and the other an editor of one of the Ridgway ma agazineS.

CONTINUED SUCCESS OF
 RUSSIANS ANNOUNCED,
Defeated Austrians and Took 5000
 Prisoners in Gaiicia.

Petrograd, March 3.-The war office issued the following statement today:
 ''On March 1 and 3, between the Niemen and the Vistula (northern Poland), the Germans delivered at tacks only in the region of Ossowetz.
 There is no change on the left bank of the Vistula.
 'In the region of Grodno and in other sectors of the whole front, our troops continued to make progress.
 We took by assault the village of Kerjen, on the left bank of the River Amouleff, where we took prisoners, 10 officers, and certain numbers of sol- diers. and captured two rapid fire guns.
 "In the Carpathians, between Ondava and the San, we continue with com plete success to repulse formidable at tacks of the Austrian army. The Ger mans delivered fruitless attacks in the region of Koziouwka and Rojanka. At the latter point we succeeded in en- veloping and annihilating two German companies.
 Tn East GaIcia the Austrians who were defending the passages of the River Lomnitza suffered a new and very serious check, our troops, while fighting, crossing the river and occu- pying the village of Krasna. The fol- lowing day we took 5000 prisoners, with 64 @fficers and four cannon, seven rapid fire guns and large quantity of regiment and division trains"

ADMINISTRATION OFFICIALS
 PLEASED WITH GERMAN NOTE
Interest Is Now Centered on the Re-
 ply of the Allies.

Washington, March 3-The official text of Germany's reply to the sug- gestions of the United States govern ment with reference to the abandon ment of submarine warfare on mer- chant ships and the shipment of food stuffs to the civilian population of belTigerents was received late today by the state department.
 The German communication was an acquiescence on virtually all of the points proposed by the United States. Administration officials were greatly pleased both at it's tone and it's prom ise of a cessation of submarine war fare on unarmed merchant ships if shipments of food to German civilians are not stopped.
 All eyes are now turned to London, where the reply of the allies to the same communication from the United States will be formulated. An acqui- essence by Great Britain would com pletely alter the situation, as it would involve also a withdrawal of the lat est declaration of an embargo on all commerce by see. between Germany and neutral countries.
 It was admitted at the state de- partment today that a protest and other forms of reply to the British declaration were under consideration, but the impression prevailed generally that no step would be taken until the reply of the allies to the proposals, now approved by Germany, was in hand

ever be established under legislative enactment which would make a re- serve possible, or in case @ reserve should not be established to have a list which in case of necessity would be useful to the government as it would give the addresses, names and qualifications of large number of men.
 No Politics in Movement.
 q have no doubt some effort will be made to twist this into a political move, but I do not believe there is even a tinge of politics connected with it-certainly no indications of such a tendency have reached me here.
 No Connection with the Army.
 fIt has no connection with the army up to the present time, other than as I have indicated to you. Johnston's activities in connection with it have been purely unofficial. He simply aided them with suggestions concern ing their list of special qualifications and talked the matter of the organ ization over with them He appre- ciates fully the fact that he cannot take any official position in an organ ization of this sort. He has tried to steer them into a line of procedure which would fit in with the war de- partment plans. This has been pure ly in an unofficial and personal way"

TWO NEW YO9k
 ANARCHISTS INDICTED
Held in $25,000 Each for a Pleading
 Friday.

New York March 3.-The grand jury found indictments late today against Frank Abarno and Charles Carbone, the anarchists who were arrested yes- terday, accused of having plotted to explode two dynamite bombs in St. Patrick's cathedral yesterday morning, while several hundred worshippers were at mass. The indictments charge the two men with having placed a bomb in a public place in violation of the penal law. Abarno and Car bone were arraigned and held in $25, maximum penalty for the crime charged is 25 years in prison.
 Although Carbone took no actual part in the placing of the bombs in the cathedral. it was said that he did most of the work in manufacturing were to be put. and that therefore he was equally culpable with Abarno. The latter is accused of having car ried the bombs into the church and of having lighted the fuse Of one of them, being arrested by squad Of detectives just as he was about to fire the fuse of the second destructive in strument.
 When the men were arraigned they were asked if they cared to make any statement. Carbone talked to an in terpreter, and the latter said the pr1s- oner wanted the court to know that he knew nothing of the bomb plot, did not make the bomb and was en- tirely innocent. Last night, the police announced that both Carbone and confessed to plotting to explode the bombs in the cathedral, this being the initial move in the inauguration in this city of a series of outrages in which Andrew Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller and his son and other wealthy men were to be killed and banks were to be footed.

TURKISH PORT OF kHOPA
 CAPTURED BY RUSSIANS.
Turks Concentrating Forces to Defend
 Constantinopie.

London, March 3.-With the allied fleet again bombarding the Dardanelles and the Russians pushing their of fensive in the Caucasus, the near east is again coming into the Hmelight. The Russians have scored a, distinct success by the capture of the Turkish port of Khopa, on the Black sea, from which the Turkish army in the Caucasus drew part of it's supplies.
 Unofficial reports say that besides the ships which entered the Darda- nelles and are bombarding the interior forts, some of the fleet are throwing shells overland into the Gulf of Saros, so that the Turkish garrfsons will be subjected to fire from two sides. The Turks are concentrating strong forces for the defense of Constantinople and the Balkan states are watching the operations with intense interest. The success or failure of the allies attempt to open he straits means much to the Balkan nations.
 The king of Greece has called a grand council, including the premier, former premiers and other statesmen, for 8 full discussion of the situation. The chamber later will hear the report of the council.
 Great Britain has not yet replied to the American note, addressed to both her and Germany, regarding the naval war zone and food shipments.
Norwich bulletin., 1915-03-04

The borrfbardment of the Dardanelles by the French and British warships, which was suspended temporarily by storms, seems to be again in full swing. From various sources have come reports of the progress of the bombardment and the British ad rniralty has Issued a brief summary showing that 34 Turkish guns have been demolished at the entrance of the strait.
 This report adso describes briefly the operations of the fleet on Monday and Tuesday and says that mine sweepers have completed their work to within a. short distance of Cape Kephez, up the strait.
 A Russian cruiser had joined the fleet and four French battleships were ehelling the Turkish positions off Bu- lair near the entrance to the Sea of Marmora across the Gallipoli penin- Sula.
 A Constantinople despatch says that more than forty big battleships. great number of small cruisers torpedo boats and destroyers are lying off the Dardanelles or engaged in the opera tions and that the forts are complete ly outranged by the guns of the ships. A strong Turkish army has, however, been concentrated in the shore de- lenses. composed of the best troops.
 Russia officially continues to send out optimistic statements regarding her progress in northern Poland and the Carpathians. With respect to these operations German headquarters is saying little, but the Austrian war of flee lays just as many claims to suc- ceed in the Carpathians as do the Russians.
 That the allies are making continued progress in the Champagne region in France is asserted by the French war office, which in supplementary off, cial statement declares that the French troops have gained indisputable as- cendancy in the Argonne region and are now the aggressors all along the line.
 While the order of the privy corn- cil putting the British declaration against German commerce into effect has not yet been issued, it is an nounced that this step soon will be taken and that the order will explain in detail the procedure which the ad- miralty will carry out. Nor has Great Britain's reply to the recent American note been yet prepared but it is pre- dlcted that this will be based on the view that the su~oestions contained in the American note propose that Great Britain shall virtually forego the strength of her position due to her superior navy, which Great Britain is not willing to do.

AUsTRo-GERMANS CHARGE
 IN MISSED FORMATION.
Have Found Positions Held by Rus
 sians Are Almost Impregnable.

London, March 3, $50 p. m.-In their determination to relieve Przen1ysl and drive the Russians out of Galicia. the Austro-German armies, which for some weeks have been on the Galician side of the Carpathians mountains, have dur ing the last few days made repeated attempts to break through the Russian entertainments, but without success.
 Since Sunday last, when in massed formation they threw themselves against Russian troops holding strong positions, the Austro- Germans have attacked again and again in spite of the heavy losses which this kind of fighting entails.
 Yesterday, according to the Russian official account, the Austrians delivered furious attacks between the San and Ondawa rivers, only to be thrown back, as they were in their previous efforts, while the Germans made sev- eral fruitless attempts around Kozi- ouwka and Rojanka. at the latter point losing two companies, which were sur rounded and annihilated.
 No estimates have been published of the losses sustained by the Germanic armies in their efforts to break through the Russian lines at these places, but they are believed to have been very large, as the Russian posi- tions were almost impregnable.
