Men Terrible Explosion ' Occnra ' ; and Wrecks . - i Mine Impossible to . Resebe the Entombed Men on Acconnt of the Noxious . Gasses Will Probably .... Never be Known What Caused the Explosion Heart-HendinK Scene at the Month of the Mine. Johnstown, Pa., July! 10. Johnstown has again been visited by an appalling disaster. 1 It Is only less Xrlghtful than the aw ful calamity of May 31,! 1889, in cost of life, but in its terrible consequences it has. brought the shadow of sorrow in hundreds of homes made desolate by a mine explosition which took place in the Cambria Steel Company rolling mill mine, under Westmont Hill at 12:20 o'clock this afternoon. How many are dead it may take sev eral days to fully determine, but that it is a long and shocking list Is certain. It may reach 200 or mare men. It was nearly an hour after the ex plosion before any general knowledge of what had happened got abroad. Men who came from the mines, escaping with their lives, told the terrible news, and soon it spread like wild fire all over the city. In scores of homes there was the most pathetic scenes. Mothers, wives, daughters, sons and relatives were frantic with grief.- Hundreds rushed to the point and -with sobbing hearts awaited news that did not come rom the ill-fated mine. ai me opening across tne river irom the point, the Cambria Iron Company police, with several assistants, stood guard permitting no one to "enter the mine from which noxious gases were coming. It was nearly o'clock when all hope of sending rescue parties from the Westmont openingfwas abandoned. Two men who had escaped from the mine, Richard Bennett and John Meyers, went back two miles to see what assistance could be rendered, but the frightful damp drove them back and they fell prostrate iand after a des perate struggle, reached the outside. The doctors gave the! men assistance and after working with them half an hour restored them. j Their story of the situation in the mine made it clear that the rescue work could not proceed from the West mont opening and then hasty prepara tions were made to begin that sad mis sion at the Hill Creek entrance. Soon after the news of the iexplosion reach ed the Cambria officials, mining en gineers Marshal Q. Moore and one of his assistants, Al. G. prosser, made an attempt to enter the mine. They were followed by the minei Superintendent George T. Robinson, but the gases stop- pea their progress and; they were com pelled to return to the Surface. Mine Foreman Harry Rodgers. his assistant "William Blanch and Fire Bosses John Whitney, John Retallick and John Thomas were overcome by the gases and it is feared they perish.ed in an effort to rescue jthe miners. A son of Harry Rodgers then tried to reach his father, but jhe was quickly overcome by gas and was carried out unconscious. William is. Tibich sp'ent several hours at the mill creek opening. He said that -he believed as many as 4o0 men were still in the mine. In his opinion from all he could glean, not to exceed 150 men had come out. When the news of the explosion reached the surface Marshal G. Moore, mining engineer and one of his assis tants, Ai G. Prosser, promptly made -an attempt to enter the mine. They were followed by Mine Superintendent T. Robinson. After much trouble, they reached one of the telephones located in the mine and communicated with Cambria general office- They were ble to give any details of the ef- of the explosion, but feared the ui life would be large and that the a. to the mine was serious. Thpir lOSS OVroog stoDned1 bv the denllv damagVhey stated that an a.ttpmnt progress "Xhe made to reach the gases and Tnl In h is known would at I scene of the accident,- h--,-,, as tne "iiJonaiKe, in xne- v lance. No entrance to the Woi i portion of the. mine i can be effected by the main entry. Many of the min ers escaped at Mill Creek, ! a shaft reaching the mine near the power house at that point, j About a score of American miners who were at work in the Klondike dis trict noticed the presence of the fire' damp in their apartment soon after the explosition occurred iand started at onoe for the main entrance. They were almost overcome by the gas, but reach ed the outside in safety. One of the men who got out safely said it is not known what caused the explosion and that it will probably never be known, as he believed none of ' the men at work in the Klondike district can be saved. He also said that only a few days ago the officials issued an order to the employees in the mines not to play with the gas, and that the next day a young Hungarian wa3 seen pushing his naked lamp along the root of tne mine .in search of It.i The mine fore man, Harry Koagers, ms assistant, William Blanch, and Fire Bosses John Whitney, John Thomas and John Re tallick were overcome by the gases and perished in a heroic attempt to rescue the miners- Mining: Engineer Moore and George T. Robinson, superinten dent, are at the head of a rescujng- party from the Franklin Slope and Conenaught - mine. They are - slowly wprking their way toward the scene of tne explosion, but must fight the gas every step of the way. Canvas screens are being used to wall all the side en trance and rooms so as to force a cur rent ot pure air ahead of the rescurers. Engineer A. G. Fosser, who with Air. Moore .entered the mine at the main opening, came to the surface at Mill Creek and immediately set about se curing men and material to assist in the rescue, if will oe ansoiuieiy im possible to state the loss of life until the rescuers reach the scene of the dis aster, which may be several hpurs, possibly midnight, j Harrv Rodgers. the miner foreman. his assistant. William D. Blanch, with Fire Bosses John Whitney, John Re tallick and John Thomas, were not m the, -Klondike when the explosion took place, but started down a short time later. It is feared all have perished. Griffith Powell and Thomas Foster, two other fire bosses, carried Mr. Whit ney two hundred yards in the hope of, saving his lire when they were com pelled to drop their burden and save themselves. Mr. Whitney was uncon scious -while being carried by - his friends. - The fifteen year old Bon of Harry Rodgers when he heard- that his father had been overcome with after dam started down toward the Klondike to help rescue him. If possible, and he had no sooner entered the drift when the deadly gas almost overcame the lad and he had to oe carried back. : His tongu protruded I its whole length from his mouth and men had to force his jaws apart with a stick to prevent lockjaw. Young Rodgers, who Is em ployed in the mine, was among those who escaped through the Mill Creek shaft. Several miners have reached the sur face who were working near the scene of the explosion- They say that they passed through a portion of tne Klon dike district and 'saw the bodies of at least fifty men. The men who came out were foreigners and were in such an excited condition that It was im possible to get a connected story from them. i ; The mine has been open for about fifty years and is producing 3,000 tons per day. i It is the property of the Cambria Steel Company. The families of the entombed miners are assembled In large numbers a't the mme opening, but they cannot secure any definite in formation and; must endure a suspense of many hours. At 11:20 the fiist four victims were brought to the surface from the Klon dike section. .They wer William Rob ertson, who was unconscious when found; John Retallick, alive and in pretty good shape, and ' two unknown Slavs both alive, but unconscious. Er. John B. Lowman, of this city, who came up, with the men said he passed twenty-five dead bodies, some of them in sitting postures Johnstown, Pa., July 11. At 2 o'clock this morning Mayor Pendry stated that the first ; body of the dead miners would be brought from the mine at 3 o'clock. Mayor Pendry stated that General Price told him the number of bodies in sight at 1 o'clock was sixty five. . , VATICAN'S REPLY." War Department Receives Cable gram, Giving Fnll Text. Washington,: July 10. A cablegram has been received at the war depart ment from Governor Taft transmitting the reply of the Vatican to the proposals of the United States government. The abstract issued to the Associated Press last night from Rome constains all the essential features. Secretary Root will take a copy of the Vatican's reply to Oyster Bay and sub mit it to the .president before making any definite reply. The secretary says it is a plain bus iness proposition which is under nego tiation based entirely upin the instruc tions given to Governor Taft before his departure to Rome. In these instruc tions, regarding the removal of the Friars, the secretary said: "It is not, however, deemed to be for the interests of the people of the Philip pine islands that 'in thus transforming wholly unproductive tracts of land into money capable of productive Invest ment, a fund should be created to be used for the attempted restoration of the Friars to the 'Parishes from which they are now separated, with the conse quent disturbance of law and order." This particular feature of the instruc tions is considered important in view of the differences reported from Rome, and it is understood that this will be kept fully in mind and adhered to in any negotiation that is completed with the Vatican. The removal of the Friars is the main object of the negotiations, and it is not believed that the conten tion of the Vatican that it cannot order the Friars away because of the conflict with the Paris treaty is well founded. DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY. To be Substituted for Olrt Conven tions. Nominating by Alabama Democrats.: Montgomery, Ala., July 10. After a bitter factional fight the democracy of Alabama, represented by the democratic executive committee of the state, this afternoon cast aside the ancient custom of nominating state officers by conven tion and determined to substitute a democratic primary election. The ex act character of the convention has not yet been decided upon. The South Car olina plan is likely to be adopted and probably will be reported tomorrow. The overthrow of the convention cus tom is a direct result of the operation of the state's new constitution. That instrument having elimiated the negro ! vote, the democrats feel there is no ion ger.any necessity for piling up tremen- j dous majorities in the negro counties, i and permitting those counties to send ! to Montgomery delegations out of all j proportion to their white population. For this reason they adopted the pri- j mary idea as a means of holding the j vote of the counties down to the respec- ; tive white voting strength. THE OREGON OUTLAW. Henry" Traeey, the Murderer, Still at i Large. Kent, Washn., July 10. Haqry Tracey, the Oregon convict, was at the home of ' ohnson,' two miles southeast of night. Jwhen he ( thlo nU I a re- left the house he was a volver and his Winchester, and hau plentiful supply of both ammunition and provisions. Tracey sent Johnson to Tacoma to purchase the revolver and ammunition. He threatened to ex terminate Johnson's family on the least sign of treachery. The murderer seemed fagged out, and talked very Jit- tle' about himself or his plans. While at the house he spent nearly all the time watching for his pursuers. He I left the house after dark, taking John son's horse, headed either for Seattle or the Palmer cut off. Not only did Tracey force Johnson to buy the revolver; but he made him bor row necessary money in Kent. Johnson went to Tacoma and purchased the weapon without giving any kind of a warning to the ; authorities. He was badly frightened.' THREATENED LYNCHING. Prominent Norfolk Physieian Mur . Negro. .dered by t Norfolk, Va., July 10. Dr. J. C. Batts, city coroner and a prominent physisian. was murdered tonight by a negro named Graves, ; to whose house ,Dr. Batts had been summoned to attend Graves wife. Police burrounded the house after the murder, and were fired upon by Graves. Much excitement pre vails and a lynching- will occur it Graves is captured.

' v FREIGHT STRIKE BUSINESS MEN TAKE A HAND IN ITS SETTLEMENT. SOME PROGRESS MADE. The Freight Handlers Agree to Abide by Decision ; of Chicago Board of Arbitrntion If That Board Can Obtain Consent of General Managers to Abide by Arbitration Also Some-Doubt About Railroads Receiving Proposition Favorably. Chicago, July 10. Business men of the city took an active part in attempt Ing to settle the strike of the freight handlers today and al midnight al though nothing had been definitely set tied some little -progress " had been' made. An agreement was secured from the freight handlers' union that the or ganzation would abide by the decision of the Chicago board of arbitration if that organization could arrange meet ing with the general managers of the railroads and secure their consent also to arbitration. At midnight the request for arbitration had not been submitted to the railroads and it is not likely that such action will be taken before tomorrow morning. Tnere is grave doubt that the proposition will be fa vorably received by the railroads . when it comes. General Manager Hitt, of the Rock Island and General Manager Barrett, of the Alton said tonight that they had not been requested to arbi trate and did not see what there was to arbitrate- The general manager of another large western road said that, while he did not care to be quoted per sonally, he was confident that no pro position for arbitration would be en tertained by his road. "Our men left us," he said, "without even presenting their grievances and we 'have never received a request from them directly." The strikers are basing their hopes of success on the sympathy of the teamsters. The officers of the team sters' union profess to be opposed to any strike, but are fearful that they will not be able to hold the men in line. The meetings of the freight handlers today developed an almost unanimous desire to continue the fight with or without the aid of other organizations Large crowds gathered around their headquarters today. THE FRIAR LANDS. Negotiations Will Probably be Suc cessfully Concluded. Rome, July 10. Judge Taft, governor of the Philippine islands withholds his opinion of the Vatican note of yester day and simply says that he will act upon the instructions he receives from Washington. In Vatican circles the.; fact is com mented upon that Washington has ex posed- itself to the rejection of the prini cipal one of its propositions, namely, the withdrawal of the Friars, by not hav ing prior to understanding an exchange of notes, initiated pour parlers through Judge Taft which would have shown the government the impossibility of the Vatican granting pure and simple, the withdrawal of the Friars from the is lands. The .Washington government would have then understood the necessity of searching the same object by asking for the withdrawal of the Friars under a different form, namely, the substitution of the Friars, for state reasons, by Monks of other nationalities, or differ ent orders, etc. It is believed that arrangements somewhat on these lines will ultimate ly be adopted and that the negotiations will be satisfactorily concluded.
