few minutes before q terrific explo-
sion. The exact number OF dead was
still undetermined. although It was the
opinion Of rescue leaders that perhaps
so or 90 had lost their lives.
Their vigil began when the first
eight were brought to the hospital.
The entrance Of each stretcher meant
that another survivor had been
dragged from an underground sea OF
gas.
Hope that some of the missing men
were still alive was reflected In 70
ports which came to the surface that
a brattics had been built of old timbers

burned In u smooth place on a timber
by an acetylene lamp. Knowing that
experienced miners would take every
means TO help their rescuers, this
startling sentence was taken TO mean
that the men were still alive.
But no attempt was made to tear
down the brattice, for the main entries
were filled with gas and the United
States bureau of mine engineers feared
that such a course would send the
deadly poison TO where the men, al

and unprotected by oxygen helmets,
were hidden.
Every effort II being made to locate

been done. the work OF removing the

Washington.-The political complex
ion Of the next congress having been
definitely established. turned on the
probable lineup on the question OF
modification Of the prohibition enforce
ment laws. Both the "drys" and
-wets" were claiming a victory as a
result OF the recent elections.
For the Anti-Saloon league. Wayne
Il. Wheeler, general counsel. said the
VETS" would not have as many votes,
by three at least, In the senate as here
tofore, and that their strength In the
house would exceed 40, or less than a
majority.
On the other hand, the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment,
through g. c. Hinckley, It's general
secretary, claimed a gain of 80 liberal"
votes In the house, which. II was as
serted, would give actual control of
the body TO the notifications.
Chicago.-A continuation OF Repub-
itcan control In congress, but with a
majority OF 1875 In the house slashed
to IS and a senate majority cut In two
is assured by virtually complete but
unofficial reports from the election.
While the Republicans retained only
seven above a house majority Of 21S
and five above a senate majority OF
AZ they will haye In the next congress
a plurality OF 10 over the Democrats In
the house and IL over the Democrats
In the senate.
Tight races and belated returns left
the exact majorities In doubt for two
days. but returns from the Third Kan
sas, the last district to report in the
congressional race-apparently assur-
Ing the election OF w. II. Sproul-in-
creased the Republican majority In the
lower house from six to seven.
With the third Kansas district In
the Republican fold. the sixty-efghth
house Of representatives probably will
be composed of 225 Republicans, 207
Democrats. one Socialist. one Farmer
Labor and one Independent.
These returns forecast that the next
senate would have SO Republicans. a

FIT MATE FOR GREAT MAN
Wife OF President Monroe Famous on
Two Continents for Her DipIo-
macy and Tact.

Elizabeth Kortright, wife of James
Monroe, fifth President of the United
States, and Trainer of the Monroe doc
trine, was In every way suited for the
position Of Madame President. Digni-
fed, almost c0urtly, well educated and
accustomed to the society of states
men, Elizabeth Kortright, when she
married Mr.. Monroe In 1885, was ade-
Quately prepared to assume the re-
sponsibility of her high estate.
In 1904, when her husband was sent
as United States minister to France,
Mrs. Monroe accompanied him on this
most important and delicate mission,
and acquitted herself with all the
grace and tact that such a situation
demanded. Again in 1903, when Mr..
Monroe was once more sent to Paris
as the American representative and
consummated the Louisiana purchase,
his wife made her gracious and infiu-
entail presence felt In many ways.
And she had power, too, as is testi-
fed to by her intercession in the cause
Of Madame de Lafayette, who was
incarcerated in the prison Of La Force,
hourly awaiting execution. Mrs. Mon
roe, through her tact and diplomacy,
was able to effect the release Of the
distinguished Frenchwoman.
