General Praip said he thoupht the story somewhat mapnitied but in any event it would no! necessitate tin: recalling 1 of the is- hue of t wo cent stamps, as postmasters throuphout the country would be warned of the counterfeits and be di rected to keep a close watch for the spurious article.

WASHINGTON MINE DISASTER. The* Storj ;ik Told l»y One* of flit* Two Only survivors. Nkw Whatcom. Wash., April 10.— Few details except those received with the first news of tho mine disaster are to be had. According to Kearns, one of the two survivors thus far known, who was working in one of the cham bers. tho explosion occurred in a breast or working, about 1.000 feet from where the tunnel terminated in the gangway. As th" main vertical air shaft pierced tlie gangway close by the inter eetioii of the tunnel, it could but poorly carry oil' the poisonous vapor billowing tiie ignition of the fire dam;). The noi-e of the cNplo-ion warned tlie miners in tin eliambei-. to flee lint they entered'he gangway only to he over come by the deadly gas. The -hock was slight where Kearns was working, as he claims his lamp was not put out, nor was he thrown down by the con- etissio'i. ft is a m\ ti ry. however, that he should have be n able to pass through the pun • V to the exit pas sage in the face of inpoisotioiis vapor; and he tells a wierd story of stum bling over bodies of victims and down falls of debris in g-Iting out.
