In the tort distance rescuers vera able to fenetrate the Darr mine, the scene of Jlureday'a troiul explosion, last night, half a dozen bodies were found and fcrougnt to the surface making tbe total umber that hare reached the morgue p to this morning, 12. While a vast amount of work was lone during the night, not much pro gress was made toward the entries in rtich the great mass of bodies are en tombed. The danger of another explo sion is imminent and the rescuing forces tare not venture farther ahead except erecting temporary brattices. Vast Joan titieg of gas hare been encountered fend the volume seems to be steadily increasing, due possibly to the opening of iasures in the earth. There is also a strong suspicion, prompted by the waves f hot air, that are said to come from that direction, that a fierce fire is al leady raging far back in the workings, and if the flames should reach the de yottts of coal dust known to lie in tbe looms, nothing could prevent a new Mtastrophe with the ivrould-be rescuers lor victims. Company officials have or among the families here' and am certain that there are 300 dead men in the Darr mine," Evidence of much suffering and dis tress among those dependent upon the victims has already been disclosed and stepa nave been taken to organize relief companies. The ConnellsviUe Board of Trade last night subscribed $100 and called a meeting Sot today with minis ters of all denominations to organize a permanent relief committee. New Haven took similar action. McKeesport hat also started a relief movement, while in Pittsburg funds are being raised to be distributed among the sufferers from the three recent disasters. . Jamea E. Roderick, chief of the state department of mining, hat ordered the mine inspectors of tbe state to meet him here today to assist in rescue work and to investigate the cause of the explosion. Clarke Adams, said to be the son of wealthy and indulgent parents, living in New York, a young man just out of his teens, is said to have met death in the mine. Three months ago Adams, who, t is claimed, had been dissipating, sought employment as a day hand at the mine. Tt was bis intention, so Mrs. Jennings, with whom he boarded, says, to have enough money to buy himself a new out fit of wearing apparel and return to his home with all the glory of the prodigal son. He intended to leave lor toe east next Sunday. His body has not yet been recovered, but a summons has been sent to his parents.

House NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-The coming of Guitav Mahler, until recently director of the Imperial Opera in Vienna, who will arrive in New York today on the t eamcr Kaiserin Augusta Victoria has renewed the rumors that Helnrlch Conreid is to retire from the director ship of the Metropolitan Opera House. In spite of the denials issued by tbe directors of the opera house, It is believ ed in musical circles that Mr. Conreid will retire at the end of the present sea son and that Mr. Mjahler will succeed him. Mr. Mahler is noted as the greatest living interpreter of Beethoven and Mozart and is one of the most fa mous of Wagnerian directors. He was engaged by Mr. Oonried personally and will probably direct the music of one or two operas during hit present visit to New York. Next season, It li believed, he will take entire charge of the ax ti.tio side of the Metropolitan' productions. MITCHELL OUT OF DANGER.
