Relist Would Do Much to Remove III Feeling That Prevail*—Un­ rest Pervades En.pire. Washington, Jan. 29.— Muil reports from American Consular officers in China which reached the Htate De­ partment today regarding the famine and n-sulting condition» further eon firm the stories of suffering and bard ship, Consul Hayn.-s at Nanking «aya that the famine is ten tim*-» worse than anything known in that part uf tbj- em rpire for the past 40 years. The Chinese official», he says upon in formation given him by the Viceroy, admit their inability to cope with the situation. The government is trying to help the starving people to keep their cattle and to this end is taking their oxen and buffaloes tn pawn for two taels each, keeping them thus until next Spring, when it will return them. Mr. Haynes declares that whatever aid may lie extended by this Govern uient in the present crisis will certainly do much to di»|>e| the ill feeling recent ly aroused by the boycott, the exciu sion act, etc. Consul-General Kogers at Shanghai advises the department that the reports ns to the conditions appearing in the newspapers, both foreign and t'hineae, are for the most part sustained by the investigations made by American naval uflict-ni. Ho say» an inquiry which he has made gives the general conclusion that the famine by March 1 will be regarded as severe and perhaps more so than that of 1H78, by which it is thought 10,000,000 lives were lost. The report of Mr. Kogers is accom­ panied by a statement by Dr. Henry M, Woods of the Southern Presbyterian mission at llwni Ain Fu, who estimates that 10,000,000 of people are affected by the famine, 4,000,000 of whom are starving. He savs there are at present more than 500,000 refugees at Tsing Kiang l*u, huddled in mat sheds, and that the pitiful sight is daily witnessed of parents offering their children for sale at from *2 to $4 each. Brigandage and robbery, he adds, are rife.

Hiinrbruncken, .Inn. 29__ A firc-ilnmp explosion occurred yesterday morning in the Ked<-n con) mine at Nt. John-on- Siinr, opposite Naarbruecken, and caused the loss of from 150 to 200 lives. The mine is owned by the Prussian gov­ ernment. I'p to 6 o'clock last evening 77 bodies hnd been brought out and 56 corpses were known to be underground. Only 50 live men have been brought out. nnd of these the doctors way at len«t 35 will die, as they are frightfully injured through having been hurled against the walls of the galleries by the force of the explosion. An oftirinl report given out Inst night says the number of dead cannot exceed 100. Immediately after the explonion res­ cue workers were hurried from all the adjacent mines and boldly entered the Reden shaft in great numbers. The work of rescue has been greatly ham pered by the poisonous gases resulting from the explosion and from a fierce fire that broke out immediately after- wnrds. This caused efforts nt rescue to le suspended, and the workers had to le ordered out of the mine. After all the rescuers had reached daylight, according to one version, a second terrific detonation was heard underground. Rut according to another report, many of the rescuers were still below when the second explosion oc curred, and it is estimated that the cns uality list from the two explosions will reach a total of 300 men. It is regarded as certain that the low­ est levels of the mine are completely wrecked, and the inspectors nre deliber­ ating upon further measures to get con tro) of the fire. The managers are dis cussing the advisability of flooding these levels as the only means of extin guishing the flames. It is believed that all the men who were in the lower levels assuredly are dead. It will take a full week to enter and explore the mine. Hlood.d (alvatiaal.*..
