AN AWFUL HORROR
Many Killed By Explosion ol Deadly
Fire Damp
AWFUL SCENES OF SAD DISTRESS
Hundreds Killed Without Warning
- ? . - _ _
and Work of Rescue was a *ci>
Difficult Matter.
Hanna, Wyo., Special.?Hanna was
the scene of a terrible disaster at
10:30 a. m., when an explosion of fire
damp in^mine No. 1, of the Union Pacific
Co,pl Company snuffed out the
lives of 234 men. injured scores of
others and caused the destruction of
a vast amount of property. The mine
was not fired, as was stated in the
earlier reports, but the explosion was
terrific and completely shattered the
timber of the main shaft and numerous
entrances, filling the working
with debris, and those of the miners
that were not killed outright by the
explosion were buried alive.
The explosion was heard for many
miles around ' and attracted people
from the adjoining settlements. Huge
timbers and railroad iron were hurled
300 feet from the mouth of the shaft.
Superintendent E. S. Brooks and a
large force of men began the work of
removing the debris from the shaft
that they might reach the entombed

was blocked by the foul gases and
several times they were forced to return
to the surface. All day the rescuing
party worked, the force being increased
from time to time by the arrival
of ranchmen and others from
nearby settlements and by those of
a relief train sent out from Rawlins,
which reached .here at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon.
About 1 o'clock p. m. four men were
taken out alive and a half hour later
they were followed by 42 others. Many
were unconscious and had to be carried
from the worftings. Several are
in a serious condition,'but it is believed
all will recover.
Two hundred and eighty-two men
went down in the mine at 7 o'clock
Tuesday morning and up to a late
hour only 48 have been accounted for.
Of this number two are dead. It was
some time after the explosion occurred
that the flist man was brought
to the surface. He was followed by
others until 1 o'clock, when the last
of the 48 was brought out. The rescuers
were unable to penetrate further
into the mine as it was necessary to
make another opening to permit fresh
air to reach the lower levels.
Horses and scrapers were put at
vork hauling debris away from the
Bhaft. The work is progressing slowly,
owing to the narrow space in
which the rescuers are compelled to
operate, but by daylight the mine
should be open sufficiegtly to permit
I of deep explorations and the rescue of
the dead bodies, uaie ai ui^m a v*i >.j
of rescuers reached four mules that
were alive and this caused renewed
hope. It is a faint hope, however, for
experienced mine bosses and miners
say that when the imprisoned men
are reached all will be found dead.
Some of the miners who escaped said
they saw 20 dead bodies in entry No.
17. They reported that many of the
men were crazed by the explosion and
ran hither and thither in the mine.
Many of these could have escaped, but
they lay down, buried their faces in
their hands and gave up the fight. Of
the 234 dead about 175 were married
and leave large families. About 100
were Finlanders, 50 were colored and
the rest were Americans.
The Hanna mines are among the
best on the Union Pacific system, being
established in 1878. The town
was named for Senator Mark Hanna
when he was a member of the Union
Pacific Coal Company. Mine No. 1 is
practically a new property. It has 28
entries. 15 miles of workings and a
main incline shaft of one and onehalf
miles in length. The mine has
been recognized as dangerous property
for some time on account of the large
amount of gas, but the system of ventilation
has been so good that an accident
was not anticipated.

THE B'MAI B'KITfl PETITION
Official Statement Given Out From
Washington.
"Washington, Special.?The State Depatment
has authorized the following
statement:
"At the State Department it was
6tated by a high official in the absence
of Secretary Hay that the delay in forwarding
the petition of the American
citizens of the Jewish faith as to the
ill-treament of their co-religionists In
Russia was due solely to the delay in
furnishing the address to the State Department
by the petitioners. The State
Department would, of course, pay no
iitrcu Li-r auj ciaiciiicut |juq;ui luif, iw i
emanate from the Rusian government'
unless such statements were made officially,
in ?ome form or other, to our
own government. The State Department
has been scrupulously careful to
act only in accordance with all the requirements
of official propriety, but
j within the limits thus laid down it will
1 most cei-tcinly not hesitate to give ex1
prcssion to the deep sympathy felt not
oniy by the administration, but by all
the American people, for the unfortunate
Jews who have been the vicitims
in the recent appalling massacres and
outrages. In this connection, It was
pointed out by another official who
reclaimed any purpose to speak in his
official capacity, however, that it seemed
somewhat strange, to say the least,
that the Russian government should
choose this parcitcular method of making
a statement to the American people
at the very time .when by methods
which are certainly the reverse of
friendly to the United States, it has
sought to make China join in breaking
the plighted faith of all the powers as
to the open door In Manchuria, and has
endeavored to bar our people from access
to the Manchurian trade."
The above statement was shown to
Count Casslnl, the Russian ambassador,
but he dealined to make any comment
on it.
Any reply to this statement must be
made under direct instructions from St.
Petersburg. It is realized, both at the
State Department and the Russian embassy,
that the situation Is extremely
delicate.

MADE A GOOD TALK I
Booker Washington Says Lynching
is Not Sectional
SPEECH BEFORE NEGRO EDITORS
Noted Negro Educator Addresses An
Immense Audience and Counsels
His People to Patience.
Loufsville, Special.?Before an immense
audience Booker T. Washington,
head of the Tuskecgee Institute,
Thursday night delivered an address.
He said that recent regrettable events
in connection with the race question
went to show that lynch law is not
confined to any one section of the
country. Those events, he said, lead
to sympathy with the race problem
by making it national. He appealed to
the negro to be calm and exercise
self-control.
Among the other speakers was W.
H. Lewi3, assistant district attorney
of Massachusetts, who was appointed
several months ago by President
Roosevelt. Principal Washington said
in part:
"In the present season of anxiety
and almost of despair which possesses
an element of the race there are two
things I wish to say as strongly as I
may:
"First, let no man of the race become
discouraged or hopeless. There
are in this country, North and South,
men who mean to see that justice is
A- J *
' IIIL'lfd UUl iu LUC la^C. OULU a. uiau
is Judge Jones, of Alabama, to whom
more credit should be given for blotting
out the infamous system of peonage
than to any other man.
"Second, let us keep before us the
fact that, almost without exception
every race or nation that has ever got
upon its feet has done so through
struggle and trial and persecution.
"No one should seek to close his
eyes to the fact that 12x9 race is passing
through a very serious and trying
period of its development, a period
that calls for the use of our ripest
thought and sober judgment.
"Let nothing lead us into extremes
of utterance or action. It is in the
long run the race or the individual
that exercises the most patience, forbearance
and self-control in the midst
of trying conditions that wins its
cause. Let nothing induce us to descend
to the level of the mob. In advocating
this policy I am not asking
that the negro act the coward; we
a're not cowards. The part we have
played In defending the flag of our
country is sufficient evidence of our
courage.
"The outbreak of the mob emphasizes
two lessons, one for our race
and one for the other citizens of our
country, South and North; for it is
to be noted that the work of the
lyncher is not confined to one section
of the country. The lesson for us is
that we should see to it that so far as
4L- : ? a M..i
tut; iuauciiv.f v^i paicui, oiuwi ui J>UIpit
is concerned, no effort be spared
to .impress on our own people that
idleness and crime should cease. We
should let the world know ?on all
proper occasions that we consider no
legal punishment too severe for the
wretch of any race who attempts to
outrage a woman.
"The lesson for the other portion of
the nation to learn is that both in the
making and in the execution the
same laws should be made to apply
to the negro as the white man.
"There should be meted out equal
justice to the black man and the
white man. Whenever the nation forgets.
or is tempted to forget, Its basic
principle, the whole fabric of government
for both the white man and the
black man is threatened with destruction.
This is true whether it relates
to conditions in Texas, Indiana or
Delaware. It is with a nation as with
an individual; whatever we? sow, that
uhnll wcs olcn ranr\ It nrn cnnr r-rlmn
we sball reap lawlessness."

arraigned before Justice Pritchard in
Criminal Court No. 1. He waived the
formal reading of the indictment,
pleaded not guilty and was given until
July 20 to file a demurrer, should he
wish to do so. The Groff Brothers,
who were indicted with Machen, appeared
in court and pleaded guilty. It
was announced that Machen and the
Greffs would be tried at the fall term
of the court, their cases being taken
up in the regular order. The fall terip
begins in October and continues several
months.
Lieut McClaln Arrested.
Washington, Special?General Corbin

Bates, commanding the Department
of the Lakes, saying that Lieut.
William F. McCure had been placed
under arrest and sent to Fort Sheridan.
His investigation of the case
thus far tends to confirm the charges
of bigamy made against McCure, but
he also says there are indications that
McCure is not sane. The dispatch has
been sent to General ChafTee for action.
I POPE LEO IS DYING
f
Head of Catholic Church Nearing His
Final Reward
LAST SACRAMENT ADMINISTERED
His HolinessRalliesSlightiy at Times,
and His Physicians Say He May
Live For Some Time.
Rome, By Cable.?"God's will beclone.
Would you have believed it. when
only ten days ago I was presiding over
a public consistory?" murmered feebly
Pope Leo, as he felt himself late Sunday
evening sinking into a sleep which
lasted about three hours, until excruciating
pain brought the dying Pontiff
back to consciousucs3. He groined and
complained of pains on both sides of
the throax. Tenderly Dr. Lapponl, assisted
by Pope Leo's valet, Pio Centra,
and the physician's second. De Castro,
lifted the frail form and, changing the
position, succeeded in giving the patient
some relief. Though hovering on.
the brick of death, the life of the Pontiff
is still prolonged by means of
strong stimulants and concentrated
nourishment, and while he is still alive,
his wonderful vitality many again resist
and conquer the attack of this illness-Later
in the evening, after the excitement
of the ceremony of the la4?
Sacrament was over, the Pope seemed
less restless, partly soother by the religous
service and partly by a. dose of
chloral which was given to him in considerable
quantity. The Pontiff is lyings
on a small bed drawn up to a window
uv ci luuiviiig iuc ui oi. o.
The only picture In the room is an antique
Madonna, and the sole ornament
a great Ivory crucifix. The Interior of
the Vatican during the early hours of
the morning testifies to the convlcation
that the passing of Pope Leo is very
near. The court yard of St. Damaso
is filled with the carriages of the cardinals.
Cardinal Satolli drove to Rome
from Frascati, the beautiful carriage
horses covered with dust and perspiration.
In the cortile are drawn up* the
carriages of the cardinals and of many
notables. Servants and messengers hurry
across the court with bundles of
huge wax tapers and with the robes of
the ecclesiastical dignitaries who are
waiting within the palace. The ante
chambeds of the palace were all
through the nigbt thronged with the
princes of the Church, high noblemen
and members of the diplomatic corps.
Telegrams of inquiry have been received
from several of the monarchs;
of Europe/
All kinds of speculation are already
in circulation as to the probable successor
to the throne of St. Peter. Opinions
are much divided owing to the
many interests which will be affected
according to the choice made by the
Sacred College. The first questions the
cardinals will have to solve will be
wnetner tne conclave snan t>e neia ;n
Rome or outside of Italy. It is believed
that the supporters of the idea of aban- '
doning Rome will be even fewer than
in the conclave held after the death of
Pius IX, when 32 out of 37 oardinals
voted in favor of Rome.
The second question will bo whether
the next Pope must be an Italian or a
foreigner. It is generally believed that
he will be an Italian, because in view
of the struggle between the Church and
the State since the fall of the temporal
power and the constitution of united
Italy, all the clergy, as well as the
clerical party and even foreigners
think that an Italian Pope can protect
better than a stranger the advance of
the religious and political interests of
the Church. The candidates chiefly
spoken of are Cardinal Rampolla and
Cardinal Seraflno Vannutelli. They are
both representatives of the conservative
policy, but are bitter antagonists
or eaen otner. t;arainai nampoua is a
very warm Francophile, while Cardinal
Vannutelli is averse to the policy inaugurated
by the present pontifical
Secretary of State of assuming the
power to which he has adhered for fifteen
years. The most probable libera?
candidates are Cardinal Bichop Agliardi
and Cardinal Priest Satolll, whisebreadth
of views and love of modern
ideas have been strengthened during
his stay in America. The most probable
religious candidates are Cardina?
Prest Cotti, who would carefully avoid
mixing up in politics and Cardinal
Priest Angelo Di Pietro. who also has
the very desirable requisite old age, being
75 years old.
Will Be Sentenced.
Key West, Fla., Special.?Fred
Ewart was convicted of murder in thefirst
degree and will be sentenced tohang.
Ewart was tried for the murder
of Frank Whitaber. He made a full
confession of the crime, claiming that
he had invited Whitaker to go on
board the New Venice to get some
clams; that while there Whitaker cursed
him, and that while enraged he- _
(Ewart) picked up an axe and struck *
