No Hope Is Held Out that Any of the Entombed Miners Will Be Rescued Alive—Water Now Fills the Mine and Rescue Work is Retarded. Birmingham, Ala., Feb. 22.—Two staff correspondents of the Birming ham News who have just returned from Virginia mines say that when they left there at 3 o’clock this morn ing 48 dead bodies had been taken out. A number of corpses, the rescuers reported, were stil! in sight but could not be reached because of the water. The explosion broken the water pipes, hooding a large part of the mines. It is, therefore, possible that no few of the men were drowned, as several bodies have been seen float ing around in the flooded rooms. Forty-four corpses have been taken to Bessemer, where a vancant store room has been secured and is being used as a morgue. Within the build ing bodies in every form of mutilation are stretched out on the floor for identification. In very man instances it is impossible to identify the corpses so badly are they blackened and mangled. Absolutely no hope is held out now of finding any one alive in the mine, especially in view of the discovery that many of the rooms are flooded. It is said that the report that sev- . oral men were token out alive but af terwards died, is untrue. It is now stated that the muscles of three bodies relaxed when tluy were brought out, ^but there was no life in tne bodies. Coroner Paris is busy inquiring into the disaster, having already empanel ed a jury.

Reed, of Cincinnati, and Thomas T. Goff, of Washington, the commission ers appointed to settle remaining dif ferences between the Unlt<& States and Panama arising under the canal convention, having concurred with the Panama commissioners and satisfao torily decided the Diaz condemnation suit and also that of a small property near the hospital are both passengers on the Panama railroad steamship Ad vance, sailing from Colon for New York today. Jos. W. Lee, who will be a member of President Roosevelt’s Rough Rider body guard at the inaugural ceremo nies at Washington March 4, is also a passenger on the Advance. Newspaper men who have made a close estimate on the numner of men in the mine say that there were 110 and that there is no doubt but that ev: ry man is dead. From now on the work of recovering the bodies .will be slow’, because oi the presence of water in the mine. Up to 11 o’clock today the bodies of 54 miners who were killed in Mon day’s explosion at Virginia mines, haci been recovered. Little progress had been made by the rescuers since 2 o’clock this morn ing because of the water and wreck age which have been encountered It the back rooms of the mme. Mine Boss Hartley, who had left the Ill-fated mine just before the explosion occurred, figures that the total numbet of men in the mines was a few below one hundred, but the check weighman Insists that 100 men were checked off, and it is said that several entered the mine who did not check off. A number of the dead men were only recently put to work from other places in the district and for this reason it is difficult to determine just how many men w’ere in the mine. Preparations are being made for the funerals of the victims whose bodies have been recovered. Rescuers who came from the mine shortly before noon report**! that bod ies which could not be reached were decomposing and that the odor was al most unbearable. It is hoped now to get all the bodies A Waahoat Victim. “Say, mister,’’ said the tattered tranap, “cau’t youse stake me to er dime?

Startling But True. People the world over were horrified on learning of the burning of a Chi cago theatre in which nearly six hun dred people lost their lives, yet more than five times this number, or over 3.000 people, died from pneumonia in Chicago during the same year, with scarcely a passing notice. Every one of these cases of pneumonia resulted from a cold and could have been pre vented by the timely use of Chamber lain’s Cough Remedy. A great many who had every reason to fear pneumo nia have warded it off by the prompt use of this remedy. The following is an instance of this sort: “Too much cannot be said in favor of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy, and especially for colds and influenza.
