HELPER, Utah, Feb. 7.-Eighteen
miners were killed in an explosion
at the Standard coal mine at STAN
dardsville, six miles northwest of
here, late Thursday night. Seven
others were missing today.
Nine were rescued alive after a
terrific blast rocked the mine and
spread poisonous gases through the
drifts and slopes.
1t was believed that fourteen were
killed outright in the explosion,
while others were suffocated by gas.
Cause of the explosion was I'M
known.
Survivors declared the blast
crumbled entry ways and hurled
rocks, timber and debris through the
drifts.
There were tWenty-nine miners in
the mine when the explosion &C.
Cured, and little hope was held for
seven who were not found.
Rescue crews, however, sought to
penetrate the gas-f1lled tunnels,
hoping that some of the men had
been able to barricade themselves
in small rooms and avoid the gas.
Women and children gathered
about the main entrance, Identify
ing bodies as they were brought out,
and awaiting reports from the in
side.
Little actual mining was being
done in the Standard, all of the men
employed being skilled Workmen en-
gagged in making repairs.
Among the stories of heroism that
emerged from the smoke and gas
glled mine was that of T. L. Pritch-
EFT, who sacrificed his life in an
attempt to save his brother, F. H.
Pritchett.
T. L. Pritchett was walking out
of the mine tunnel, about a mile
from the entrance, when the blast
shook the ground, showering him
with rocks and debris, Andy
Dougherty, one of the men who was
rescued, was a short distance ahead
of Pritchett, and saw him turn and
run back into the mine, hoping to
save his brother.
The PritchettS were carried out,
dead.

2. On cruisers, both are
agreed on the possibility Of
exact tonnage parity of $780,
900 tons. Stimson proposed
an agreement whereby the
United States would dominate
in large cruisers and Britain
in smaller cruisers, with a
tonnage disparity of 10000
tons in favor of Britain. How
ever, he proposed an optional
transfer arrangement where
by Britain could reduce to
$4,000 tons, which the
United States asks, or the
United States could increase
to $4,000 tons, which Britain
asks.
While the British memorandum
did not mention the optional pro-
posal, it gave the British cruiser
as $4,000 tons, which
the United States could equal under
the Stimson plan If it desired.
Favor Sub Abolition
g. Both nations favor the COM
plete abolition of the submarine,
failing which they are agreed on
reviving the Root convention which
would limit rigidly the activities of
submarines against merchant YES
sells. Both favor reduction of sub
marine tonnage to the lowest pos
sible limit.
4. On aircraft carriers. The United
States proposes equality in tonnage,
and Britain agrees, suggesting that
the total tonnage of $4,000 allowed
to each navy under the Washington
treaty be reduced to 100000 tons;
the maximum size of carriers be re-
duced to $4,000 tons and their age
to twenty-six years.
5. DeStroyers. The United States
asks equality. Britain proposes a
strength of 100000 tons, but sug-
gests it can be reduced If the sub
marine programs of the other
powers are cut. Britain would limit
destroyer leaders to 1850 tons and
destroyers to 1900 tons, with five
inches the maximum size Of guns.
Specific on Limitation
The British memorandum makes
statements on some general sub
jects not covered by the Stimsor1
statement. 1t is specific on the
subject of limitation-that 1t should
not only be by Global (total tom
mage of each navy, but by cate
CORES, even the size Of individual
ships in the various categories be-
ing limited, and the tonnage to be
used by each nation in each cate
CORY specified. Britain proposes
five categories-capital ships, air.
craft carriers, cruisers, destroyers
and submarines.
Britain believes the conference
not only should reduce present
fleets, but end for all time compett-
tive building. The governments
policy of keeping the ocean high
ways open for trade and communi-
cations was set forth.
Britain proposes recurrent confer
ences to keep the work going, with
the next conference in 1895.
