A speolal to Tho Times from B'uc fleld, W. Va., says: Twenty-ono min era were killed in an explosion of mine gas lu tho shaft of the Cooper Mine company at Coaldale, W. Va., at noon Thursday. Up to m'dufght Thursday only one body had been recovered. Im mediately following the explosion, which was heard fer several milos, rescue parties ae'j to w?rTi to explore the wrecked shaft. Coaldale is a mining town situated In Mercer countv on the Hue of the Norfolk and Western railway and is 16 miles west of H lue Held. Hut once before in the history of the Pocahon tas coal Held lias there ben such a fearful disaster as that in the Coal dal Coal eompauy's shaft Tou^day* The victims of that other disaster sleep in thc cimetary at P oahoniai. Thursday at noon while tho minus -?erejirowded willi men there was? a Budden and*}eavy rumbling a mlle and moro in the ^depths of the mountain and through tho miles of passages and air shaft of that Immense mino the shook was felt. Ht fore the detonations had died out, Hank Boss Tb? m s WU liamB, who was a long ways from the explosion, staggered to his feet, and feeling his way to a n ine telephone, culled to those on the outside that thero had boon a tortille e xplosion of mine gas and asked for belo. Gathering about the ontranco, has tening orowds urged by coal heads and anx'ous hearts hurried to prepara for tho tesouo of thc missing ones and an exploration cf thc wreck workings. At 4 o'clook one man was brought out. He was H. C. Conrad, and bis body was littrdly torn to pieces. His elothlng was hanging in shreds. Up to a late hour Tuursday night no other bodies had beou recovered. There was considerable smoko aud gas in the entries and notwithstanding W? p?rk?ng with'fuii bo gas aiimBmoke wore ur>t hetng i out very; fast. e following" ar? tho dead and their bodies aro with tho excoption of Conrad, still burled in the. mine: J.

The Coaldale plant ls considered one of the best operations In the lield Ed Cooper is on the grouLtl supervising the work of rescue. Cannot Haul Corn Crop The railroads of Kansas are unab'e to furnish cars to m jv j one ix\t of the corn crop. Grain men, farmers and millers appeal in vain for trains in which to ship to market the 100, 000,000 bushels of this cereal. All along the Hues of the corn bolt are heaps of corn waiting to be shipped. At some temporary cribs have been built to store this but in the great majority of tho pb.e;s lt has been merely piled up on ttie ground, and some of these piles contain as many as 10,000 bushels. This corn has been hauled to ship ping points with thc idea that lt was to be loaded into cars which had been ordered, but in rn oct instances the corn got there before tho cars and is still waiting for them. Storms might seriously damage this corn, which is exposed to the elemouts, and the men who own lt are keeping ibo wires hot with messages to tl ie railroad asking that their orders for oars be tilled.

Several persons are dead, otheis wili die as a result of in juries and many aro more pr less sor lously hurt. Viewing the wreckage ltf*p by the toonado, It seems a mlia ole that scores were not killed out right the tribute c'.almed In the way of ii ii m \n lives balng astonish ingly small. The known dead arr: Hen Jono, a negro maohinlst in the employ of tho Virginia Carollua Chemlcal company. Jake Johnson, a 0-year-old negro boy. Among those whoso Injuries will in all probability provo fatal arc : Luta Gladden, Jesie Davis, Annlo Davis and Jessie Woodall. The Hit is still incompleto owing to thc faot that much of the destruc tion wrought was well beyond the city limits. Reports from the torna do after lt left Albany havo not been received. Hundreds of nrgroes In tho city are homeless tonight and many have lost all their household effects. The in jured are being cared for and efforts aro being made to sr cure shelter for all. This is dllllcult owing to the Boarolty of all kinds of dwelling hous es in the city. Under direotlon of Mayor Rawson, relief will be secured aud promptly furnished these iu groatest distress. It is d;ill?ult to estimate tho prop erty loss. Tho Virginia Carolina Chemical company is the principal sufferer, its destroved buildings and machinery having be: u worth prob ably ?00,000. It ls safe to say that the total io's will be found to exceed ?l?O.OOO. Very little of the destroy ed property was p'otected by tornado Insurance. The southern Hell Telephone com pany ls among the heaviest sufferers. Its lines were blown down in sevoral parts of tho city. Some little ap prehension is felt for Pretoria, in tho southwestern part of the OOUhty. Tho tornado came from that direotlon and a\ tho telegraph wires are down nothing can be heard from there. ? -- " ' A Snobbish OMonr ul tho Army In duced In Itn.uk For rtq lesting a sergeant of artilery to change hts seat at a theatre, First Lieut R>y I Taylor of tho coar.t ar tillery is r.deckel in rank 12 Lumbers.

It also stated that a sentence more severe than the one given is warrant cd. The theatre Incident took place last Ojtclvr. Sergt. Patrick F.

It was in or der to make vacaney for ono t f them that he told the sergeant to move, lila words to the under ollleor, accord ing to t he printed verdict of the court martial, were; 'Sergent, you had botter get your ticket changed und get your seat somewhore in the rear,' or words to that i l??ot." Lieut.

NEED NOT FEAR Thc South /Tust Furnish Cotton for the World. ?SO SAYS AN!XPERT. Thc Much Exploited*! Assouan Dam Across tho River Nile Will Have Lillie Effect In Increasing Hie Production of Cotton in Egypt. That the muoh exploited Assouan dam across the IS lie will havo little or no tffoot in stimulating cotton pro duotion in Ejypt, as has been claimed for lt, is the assertion of a gentloman who probably knows moro about Ei*ypt and K ytian conditions than any man in thc United States. This goutleman is Cope Whitehouse, who is now in Washington in conneo tlou willi what is known as the Lako Morris project, In willoh he ls Inter ested, and whioh has attracted tho at < tentlon of the governments of tho United States, G.eat Britlau and 1 B?ypt. KOYl'TIAN COTTON CiKOWINO). 1 "In 1891," said Mr. Whitehouse, in discusing the mattor a day or two ago, "American cotton growers were | told that thoio was an Immense area of abandoned land, admirably adoptod ? to cotton cultivation, lying between ? tho cultivated section of the delta and | Mt dltorranean. In 1887, the late John , Cardwell, of Houston, then consu' | general at Cairo made an elab?rale , report on the condition and prospecta ( of tho country, as a whole.

In 1880 1887, tho total cultivated area of E?ypt was estima ( Ucl by him at 4 498,520 aores. with ( 820,114 acres of cotton in lower Egypt, and less than 60 OOO aores to the , touth of Carlo. Only 2 1- 4 per cent , of the. population was engaged In cot | lon culture. The cotton orop was thou , ?Uo rises about 20 feet, Whltohouso'* * onoo would have boen more than bur ffolent. NO DANG EH TO AMICIUCAN COTTON. "I take much Interest in this ques tion," wrote Mr. Cardwell in his re? port. "I desire to see the scholarly efforts and tho persistent researches of ono of my countrymen succeed; to KOO American mind do good as a coun terbalance to harm done by European armies. But years have elapsed and the swamps and sand strewn regl?os of the delta romain as they were when tho Texas man was consul general at Cairo and for 1,700 years before that, although tho scorpoin infested a.id hyena haunted depths of the "region of Gehenna" have born traversed, measured and txplorod by a fcaro' of exports employed by tho Egyptian government, or representing solentlflo societies of Europe and the United States. "While tho successful carrying of tho prcj^ot wculd obviously have a wounderfully stimulating rffjot on ootton growing In E;ypt," said Mr. Whitehouse in disousdug this phasp of the oase, "tho cotton growers of the south need not fear that a single acre will be added to Egypt's cotton area through my efforts for at least tlvo years. In 1891 and again in 1894, lt seemed certain that the work would be undertaken at once. Ia 1898 a contraot was made for a reservoir dam at tho first oataraot; and even so well Informed a reprosontatlvo of the United States as Hon. E C. Penfield, appointed by President Oloveland, ventured the prediction that 1 OOO, OOO sees would be added before 1900 with an Increase in the agricultural output of at least 20 per cent. THE DAM NOT A SUCCESS. "Hut th s expectations have proven bo be baseless. The dam itself is a well a milo and a quarter in length The Knglish engineers who dosi trued lt as a private speculation for an E ig lish company declared that it would dior no obstruction to tho high Nile, jut that thc Hood would pass as freely through tho ululceways as a river through tho piers of a brldgo. On August 8, last, when the reservoir ihould have been empty, the Nile had leaded up over HO feet and was tear ing through 140 passages, about 40 lip 00 feet lu length, and 7 t*> 21 in ..kith, at a rite of moro than 50 milos MI hour. Deep crevices had developed on the downstream side, and lt was necessary to construct/ buttresses in ?roat hasto. lt will take at least two years to complete these and other re pairs. "The cotton crop has been increas 3d by the transfer of sugar catie land sottoo cultivation," continued Mr. Whitehouse, "but the ottlolal reports ?how that thc crops before 1898, when bhe contract for thc dam was sigDed, have actually exceeded thuso raised duce Its completion. There bas been S l?uu O? cv. i j ?u ?,?7. I IM wt; j -?ftiMCllHjhC whole Ki'.ionio was a gigantic swindle; that a group of Eugllsh speculators, of whom Slr Earnest Cassel was the principal, quietly aequred over 1,000, 000 acres, at prices ranging from thc government registration fee of 13 cents per acre up to $10 and $20, and then agreed bo build the dam In ordei to raise prices and enable thom to un load tho land on the French and E ig Usn public during the four yoars the construction work was In progress, E/en Lord Cromer appears to ha vt become alarmed at the Impending orash. The price of tho lands wai fr -ced up to near'y $500 an aore, ant when the speculators have unloader bhe ground could not be rcmuncrativi bo the cultivator at any such prices. WILL NOT EFFECT THICK. "But to return to the ootton ques blon," said Mr. Whitehouse inconolu don, "tho American growers havi nothing to fear.
