Kansas City, Jan. 8. A special from
McAllister, I. T., says: Last . night
there was an explosion in a mine and as
a result over 200 men now lie dead, and
about 40 fatally hart, and many badly
burned.
At 5:15 p. m., mine No. 1, owned by
the Osage Coal & Mining Co., at Kareb,
exploded. At that time 300 men were
in the shaft, most of whom were wait
ing for the. cage to take them out and
the foot of the shaft is one mass of dead
bodies. Eighty-five men came out by
the old entry, and 43 were saved by the
shaft, most of whom were more or less
burned and bruised, and half of them
will probably die. This leaves 223 men
yet in the mine and in all probability of
them are 200 dead. At 7:10 ten dead
bodies were brought out and 'only one
could be recognized as the remains were
so mutilated. The explosion was caused
by firing a shot when the gas was in the
mine. At this time it is impossible to
learn the exact number of dead and
wound Al.

Great Britain Shows No Dlsposltloi
Harry a Settlement.
Washington, Jan. - 9. The Behring
sea negotiations : are not proceeding
with the smoothness which would en
courage tho. belief that before the next
sealing season opens the rights of the
United States in the northern ocean
will be clearly defined. No real obsta
cles have beep . recently interposed, but
the government is struggling with poor
success to disturb the inertia of the Brit
ish government and secure a forward
movement on its part towards the begin
ning of the long expected arbitration.
It is two months now since the last defi
nite proposals on the subject -were ex
changed. Secretary Blaine had so far
yielded to Minister Salisbury's request
as to consent to a reference of the ques
tions under contention to a tribunal
composed of seven persons. One of
these arbitrators was to represent Can
ada, one Great Britain, two the United
States, and the remaining three to be
selected from other nations. Up to this
point everything progressed smoothly
and uninterruptedly, but when it comes
to an agreement upon three neutral ar
bitrators there was a hitch. Great Brit
ain could not be induced to submit any
names of persons acceptable to her and
has not up to this time.
A WORD FOR EGAN.
Captain Schley Thinks Re Is The Right I
Man in the Right Mace. j
Vallijo, Cal., Jan. 9. Captain Schley
said today : '-When I went to Chili I
was prejudiced against Minister Egan,
but I found mm a quiet, intelligent, es
timable gentleman, firm, yet not boister
ous, and in every way determined to do
his duty to the United States. His let
ters to the Chilian government were
diplomatic masterpieces,' unanswerable
in logic, firm and decided, and yet
thoroughly polite and respectful. I
soon concluded he was the right man in
the right place. British. Minister Ken
nedy declared in my presence that he
had written to Lord Salisbury that
Egan's conduct throughout had been
dignified aud commendable and that in
him the United States had a minister of
j whom any nation might well be. proud."

THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION.
It is Giving the Government
Wants to Attend to.
All It
Chicago, Jan. 11. Private letters to
the associated press from Monterey,
,Mexico, dated January 3rd, say : "The
government is keeping the sharpest
watch on the telegrams and letters to
and from the United States, and even
on newspapers, to suppress all news
about the Garza revolution, and although
the government . pretends that the
movement is of little account, and in
some instances, direct against the Uni
ted States, yet' it is well known that the
movement has taken formidable propor
tions and threatens to extend.
Though Garza is intelligent and brave,
he is not the real leader of the move
ment. The leader is one of the most
prominent men in the republic- What
aids, or rather what will aid the revolu
tionists, is the general depression which
reigns, and which.makes itself .felt more
and more every dav. The prisons are
i full of people 'who werS driven to crime
: by this distress.
