Just as the day Ibroka through the pall of fog this anornmg,, Ithe grim .details of the awful disaster at Rolling Mill mine of the Cambria Steel company, dawned with renewed force on thousands waiting for authentic news as to the extent of the explosion. . '. Forty-seven dead bodies, all contort ed .and many (blackened and iburnd, lie stretched art rough slabs in the impro vised imorgue in the armory building. Forty more are in the cars in the mine ready to be borne out as fast as room! can be made. The latest estimates of )the number of dead reduce the faital scope of the ca lamity. But these, while fixing it at around 100 are not conclusive. General Superintendent Robinson would not say at this time whether he thought there-.were 100 or 300 dead. He says there is ho way of telling until a fuU investigation of the mine is made. It teas 5 :55, o'clock when the first train loajf 6t vicfjiwfc' 'were, xhrouht to the mounith ot the main entry. ; JTortyfaine cafs were used In twinging" Out the 46 'dead bodies, and four living injured. The discovery of ItheT dead bodies was made' by a searching1 party last night. They were lying in ithe main heading, two miles in trom the main put entry. No attempt was made to remove (them? .until certainty was eEFtablfehed that no more living remained dn the cnine. The first statement of ithe disaster was given b General Mine Superin tendent Robinson this morning. He said: "As to the direct cause of the ex plosion I cannot exactly say. We know there was an explosion of fire damp in the sixth Tight heading of the sec tion commonly known- as Klondyke. "So far as we can find now, there were not more than three or four deaths from the explosion itself. The balancer" were "caused "by the . after damp . Our irjine officials, Mine Fore man Henry Rogers, Fire Boss John! Retallic, Madhine-Boss William Robin son, who is my brother, and a Slav whose, name I do not know, were back eating lunch when the explosion occur- ed. "They immediatey went down Ito the point of explosion to put the slopings in order to carry the air in its proper channel again. These were blown down by the force of the explosion. They were found by the rescuing party and the chances are that all .will recover with the exception of my brother. The rescue work started at 1 o'clock p. m.

When the bodies of the victims came from the mine a long line of undertak ers' "wagons and picnic wagons were in waiting to take them to the morgue in the city . They were backed up to the door and a large force of police was ready to eheck great throngs from pressing, in too close. Body after body was dragged from the wagons and borne inside. All of them were blackened and un recognizable until the undertakers got to work. The head of one man was crushed and the only means of Identi fication will be by his check number. All the foodies are cold and stiff. The arms of most of them are twisted in front of them as if to shield their faces from the fire. The left hand of one man was torn off ait the wrist and the bodies now recovered were all found about two miles from the main pit mouth. Rolling MiH mine has been worked for about 50 years. (Five or six years ago, the section wihere the disaster of yesterday occurred, was opened. Miners fancifully called it Klondyke. It is said for the past three years gas has been noticed in it and careful inspections kept up. Frank Sabo was one of the boys who met death In a heroic endeavor to save his comrades. After the explosion, he hastened into the vault of death to do what he could to close the traps arid check the spread of the after-damp. He was found lying near a partly closed door leading off to one of the left head ings. . . Soon after the discovery of the first corpse the armory of company H, a big ibarn-like building on the outskirts of the city was transformed"lnto a tempo rary morgue. Nearly a score oc young' women were called to assisft the dozen undertakers qhMiT?tts&2 tablishments were opened . and hundreds of yards of ! muslin , toweling and other goods gotten out for the purpose of pre paring Ithe bodies for burial. Outside of the property loss, the cat astrophe will cost the Camfbria Steel company a large sum. The company has for many years past paid to the family of which a member was killed 'in its employ $1000, outside of what it ex pended for medical purposes, and it has paid every man who has lost an eve. limb or become otherwise partially dis abled the sum of $500. It is said that the rule will not (be1 devtiated from. Distressing scenes are constant about the temporary morgue and on the side of the river at the foot of the descent from the pit mouth where iwomen and children are awaiting the solution of the awful .mystery of life or death of relatives. It is now conceded that no living soul who was in the mline after the explosion and not heard from, can possibly be alive. It is now believed that the victims will number 175. Of the 47 bodies at the morgue 21 are identified as Poles by Rev. Father Embinsky, a majority of them havdng families. As fast as the identification is com pleted the bodies are being taken to their houses.' At noon, the charnel house was about cleared of bodies. 1208 BALLOTS TAKEN III MONROE CONVENTION ROBERT N.

From this portion of the act it would appear that the United States alone is to make police and sanitary regulations for the canal strip and establish judi cial tribunals for their enforcements. Yet article 3 of the draft canal .treaty provides for the creation of a "joint commission by the governments of Col ombia and the United States that shall establish and enforce sanitary and po lice regulations." Article 4 of the treaty provides that ithe rights and privileges granted to the United .States by .the terms Of this shall not affect the sovereignty of the republic of Colombia over the territory within whose boundaries such rights and privileges are tjo (be exercised. "The UnitedvStates freely acknowl edges and recognizes this sovereignty and disavows it in any way whatever, or to increase its territory at the expense of Colom bia, or of any of the sister republics in Central or Sputh America, but on the contrary, It desires to strengthen the power of tie republic on this con tinent and to ;wdmote, .develop and maintain thejr Prosperity and peace." It appears to -be the task now before the parties to the proposed convention to define with absolute certainty the extent and limits of the control to be exercised' over the canal strip. For while control is not sovereignty in the common acceptance of the terms, yet in practice the two often merge so closely as to defy identification, and it hae all along been recognized that any provision of the (treaty which threatens in any measure sovereignty of the South American republic over the canal land will not toe acceptable to fthe Co lombian coneress.
