New Design.
' ¿W ashington, Nov. 12.— The mints of
Philadelphia, San Francisco and P en -
ver have begun coining new 15 gold
pieces, struck on a different plan froifl
any heretofore coined in the world.
It follow s an idea expressed to Presi
dent R oosevelt by Dr. W illiam S.
Sturgis B igelow , o f B oston, that to
permit the coins being piled to a uni
form height, a higher or stronger re
lief m ight be obtained by depressing
the design below the held or face of
the coin instead o f raising it above,
as usual in all coinage operations.
This would provide a flat held and a
uniform thickness, the flat surface
taking the wear and protecting the
relief, the shape o f the depression fol
low in g the outline o f the relief.
T h e same design will be used on
the new $2.50 nieces and all will hear
the "In God W e Trust” motto.
FIGHT WILL BE CONTINUED.
Government to Take Octopus Rebate
Cate to Supreme Court.
Washington, Nov. 13.— It was stated
at the department o f justice that in
view o f the large amount o f money in
volved, the important questions o f law
and the popular interest in the case, the
governm ent'would not rest on the de
cision o f tbo circuit court o f appeals in
the Standard Oil case, but that the case
would be taken to the supreme court of
the United State* nt the earliest possi
ble date. This will be done bv an appli
cation to the eourt for a writ o f cer-
tii*rari. The application to the eourt
for a writ will be submitted Novem
ber 30.
Attorney-General Bonaparte said that
a conference of counsel would be held
on Thursday to decide definitely on the
atofis that would be taken in bringing
the case before the supreme court. He
said that many important rate cases de
pended on the final decision o f this ease,
among them being seven or eight on
other counts against the Standard Oil
company.

Arkansas, Louisiana and Maryland al

Kentucky and Vermont Republicans.
The other senators of whom successors
are to be elected are:
Republicans— Allison, Iowa; Ank

Democrats — Clay, Georgia; Gary,
South Carolina; Gore, Oklahoma; Mil-

Democrats.
The only aenatorahips remaining in
doubt are those in Ohio, Indiana and
Oregon, which are now represented by
Senators Foraker, Hemenway, and Ful

ators Teller, Stone and Newlands,
Democrats.
Governor Cummins, o f Iowa, is about
to realize his ambition o f becoming a
senator from that state. He has many
admirers in Washington and his entry

If
Indiana should send a Democrat in
place o f Hemenway, it is supposed
here that John W. Kern, the defeated

Indiana since 1899, when David Turplie
surrendered his office to Beveridge.

Awful Disaster in Germany Claims 3 8 9
Known Dead.
Hamm, Wdetphalia, Germany, Nov. I
13.— The greatest mine disaster in many I
years in Germany occurred yesterday
morning at the RadboiJ mine, about
three inih-s from this ylace. There was
a heavy explosion at 4 A. M., and al- j
most immediately the mine took fire.
O f 380 mjners working underground at
the time, only six escaped without in
jury. Thirty-five men were taken out
badly hurt and 37 dead were brought
to the mouth o f the pit. The remain
ing 302 have been given up for lost.
>
The explosion was unusually violent,'
destroying one o f the shafts, which had
to be partly repaired before the rescue
work was begun.
In addition the
flames and smoke proved to be almost
insurmountable obstacles in the efforts
of the rescuing parties.
A special
corps, composed o f fhe men who ren
dered such valuable aid in the tenable
mine disaster at Courrieres, France, in
March, 1966, arrived upon the scene
shortly before noon, but were unable
to enter the mine, being forced to await
the result of the efforts o f the firemen
to keep the flames in check.
Meantime heartrending scenes took
dace at the mine when the dead and
njured were brought to the surface,
aud there were similar scenes in the
town when the injured were transported
through the streets to the hospitals.
At 1 o ’clock the fire had made great
headway, and later in the afternoon,
after a consultation o f the engineers,
it was decided that any further at
tempts to rescue the entombed men
would be in vain, owing to the impossi
bility o f entering the galleries. At the
sume time an order was issued to flood
the mine.
First reports indicated that the ac
cident was the result of an explosion
o f coal dust, but the statements o f the
injured men rendered this improbable
and it is not clear just what caused it.

All Depends on Note to the Powers
From Austria.
St. Petersburg, Nov. l!3__ Although
an air of outward calm is maintained
at the Russian foreign o ffice, the
Balkan situation has now reached an
acute stage, where everything depends
upon the nature o f the note which is
expected from Vienna today and the
outcome o f the mediation which Rus
sia, France and Great Britain have un
dertaken at Belgrade, at Auatro-Hun-
g a ry ’s request, with a view to limiting
the belligerent activity o f Servia.
I f mediation is not successful, war is
recognized as a possibility in authori
tative circles. The Austro-Hungarian-
Servian relations are too strained, it is
believed, to permit present conditions
to continue indefinitely.
The Austrian note will definitely out
line the attitude of that government re
garding discussion o f the annexation of
Bosnia and Herzegovina and possible
compensation to Servia and Montene
gro, and the nature o f the note will de
termine whether or not an international
congress can be held.
